CONTRARY TO LAW
Secretary Gage is Said to Hold His
Cabinet Position.

New York, July 26.-A Chicago dis
patch to the Herald says:
Chicago had the question thrust
squarely upon her this afternoon as to
whether her honored citizen, Lyman G.
Gage. had been holding his position in
President McKinley's cabinet contrary
to the statutes that ogvern the office
with secretary of the treasury depart
ment. In other words, it was made
known to President Mckinley that Mr.
Gage had never legally qualified for the
office by divOrcing himself absolutely
from the banking interest with which
he is connected in this city The stat
utes provide that the secretary of the
treasury cannot hold stock or be an Of
ficer Of any matte bank According
to the list of stoo iders of the First
National bank of Chicago, given out to-
day, Mr.. Gage owns 700 shares of the
stock
The information came out in the eff
forts to apply the new personal pro-
perty tax act to corporations. Finally
the board of assessors and board of re-
view demanded from corporations a
complete list of their stockholders.
These are in the hands of the authori-
ties at the present time. The new tax
ing act also demands that all assess
ment and schedules of property be pub
hshed.
1t could never have been foreseen
that such sacred matter as the stock
holders of close corporations would be
made public. Now that it has become
public and disclosed the secretary of
the treasury as d StOckhOlder in the
class of institution he is prohibited by
law from being connected with what
will happen? Does it invalidate in any
way the acts of the secretary? Does 1t
make him liable to any penalty? Does
it forfeit his cabinet position? These
are questions that naturally arise but
Washington will have to be looked to
for answer

LECTURE OF WOOLEY.
at Least 5000 Persons Heard Him
at Ottawa Chautauqua.

Ottawa. Kan, July 26.-The lecture
of John G. Wooley last night on Good
Citizenship was the most mastery
Grafton of the assembly. He held his
audience without murmur, and it con-
sisted of 5000 people. He did not
abuse anybody or any party. He
would not let the voter shift his re-
sponsibilities upon preacher, his neigh
Dor or the saloonkeeper but laid it
heavily upon it proper foundation. In
the latter half of the address he as
sumed a text, "A sower went forth to
SOW" and from that statement he
would send every one forth to do his
individual duty.
The afternoon lectures were by Prof
kirkpatrick and Albert E. Hyde. Each
had an hour and filed it yith eloquent
temperance doctrine. Mr. Kirkpatrick
talked the drink habit and its effects.
Mr.. Hyde gave out of his own personal
experience the effects. He at the age of
90 was a physical wreck, but now is the
perfect picture of MANHOOD
John Temple Graves was an enter
tanning talker, but not quite forcibIe
in volume; the audience had to strain
themselves to catch his words.

BRIGGS TURNED DOWN.
Trouble Over Fourth District
Census Supervisor Not
Settled.

A dispatch from Washington states
that W R. Merriam, director of the
census, has inserted in the place of the
name of c. S. Briggs of Usage county
that of d. w. Eastman of EmDoria
for supervisor of the census in the
Fourth district
While this may be true it is extreme
1y doubtful if this will win the place for
Mr. Eastman because Senator Baker
has recommended Briggs and for the
additional reason that these appoint
ments must be confirmed by the senate
before they become effective. If Mr..
Baker opposes Eastman, as he will,
when the names come up for cOnfirma-
ton, Mr. Eastman will lose because it
is an unwritten law in the senate that
no man be confirmed when the senator
from his own state opposes it.
There seems to be no doubt about Mr..
Briggs finally landing the place because
Mr.. Miller, the congressman from the
Fourth district who is fighting Briggs
and advocating Eastman, has expressed
himself in writing to the effect that he
was satisfied with the recommendation
of Briggs. This together with the fact
that the senate will respect Mr.. Baker s
wishes in this matter make a gloomy
prospect for Eastman.

may BE GAS.
Evidences of the Natural Pro
duet Discovered on GuilfOrd
Dudley's Farm.

Several Topeka men are of the belief
that there is a vein OF natural gas un-
derlying the farms OF Guilford Dudley
and other property owners south of
town
Mr.. Dudley's place. known as THE
Daisy Farm two miles and a half
from town. is near the Santa Fe right
Of way. A creek runs through the low
est part of the land and is bridged
where the railroad crosses it. A steady
stream of bubbles was discovered ris-
ing to the surface of the water under
the bridge. BY means of an inverted
funnel, to collect the gas as it bubbled
up, the vapor was ignited and a small,
blush flame burned for several min
utes and went out. Some of the gas
was bottled and brought to town and
lighted.
Tuesday night GuiIford Dudley. r. S
Brigham, Daniel Crosby. Charles S.
Eagle. Arrnin FassIer, w F Parker
and c. H. Samson met to discuss the
formation of stock company to pros
pect for natural gas. The bubbles in
the creek are caused by some kind Of
gas but it may not be natural gas that
can be utilized.

TO ARREST UNION MINERS.
Charged That They Have Violated an
Injunction In Indiana

Evansville, Ind, July 26.-Twelve or
more union miners will be arrested and
taken before Acting Circuit Judge Haw-
kins on the charge of violating the in
junction which was recently issued
against them.
Late yesterday afternoon about 500
people, mostly wives and children of the
miners, went to the John IngIe coal
mine with tin cans and horns and made
the air ring with shouts and yells. The
coIored miners came from the mine with
arms, prepared for trouble. The shout
ers marched about the shaft and for an
hour the colored diggers remained un-
der cover of the police. The names of
several of the miners were secured and
they will be arrested today.
The striking miners are arming them
selves and openly boast that they will
parade the streets with their weapons
as the non-uniOn miners have done

Carried Off From His Mine by
Masked Men.

Cripple Creek. Colo, July 26.-John
Doyle, engineer of the Garfield Grouse
mine, was carried off by twenty mask
ed men early this morning. The sheriff
has been notified and is making efforts
TO find the missing engineer.
When the twenty masked men reach
ed the mine they ordered the black
smiths and other employees of the mine
back.
I'VE don't want YOU said one of the
leaders. It's Doyle were after Wen
fix him"
The men employed at the Garfield
Grouse are unable to conjecture what
was the cause of the trouble.
The Garfield Grouse is worked under
lease by F. O. Wood and all the miners
employed there are union men.
Doyle was released by his abductors
after they had given him a severe
beating. He processes not to know who
the men were or why they punished
him.

MAYRAFFLE THE HALL.
Novel Plan For Meeting a Deficit of
100000 In Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., July 26.-The saenger-
fest board is seriously considering
novel plan to wipe out the big deficit
entailed through the erection of the big
hall at Erkenbrecher avenue and Vine
street. The plan is to rattle the build
ing, and if, as present indications point,
the scheme meets with the general ap-
proval of those who are financially in
terested. some person win find himself
possessed of the ownership of the build
ing which cost thousands to erect for
the outlay of 81 in cash. To obtain
Saengerfest Hall for 81 is virtually get
ting the building for a song.
The deficit which the committee is
seeking to wipe out is in the neighbor-
hood of $50, 600. 1t is assumed that near
ly 100000 tickets can be sold. 1t has been
agreed between a number of the men
who guaranteed the fest to take 100
tickets each with the further agree
ment that if any of them should win
the hall it shall remain the property of
the company.
If, on the other hand, an outsider
should hold the lucky number the win
ner viii be allowed the option of keep
ing the building or accepting $4,000 in
cash

PEOPLE WALK.
Cleveland Cars Run But Garry
Few People.

Cleveland, July 26.-That the presence
of the strong force of militia now doing
service in this city has already had
most saIutary effect on the 1awless
element was evidenced this morning
by the fact that the Instructions placed
upon the tracks of the Big Consolida-
ted street car lines last night were
found to be fewer than at any other
time since the present strike was in
augurated.
Cars on four of the most important
lines of the Big Consolidated system
were operated throughout the night.
This morning practically the full quota
OF cars We're running on all lines except
the Abbey, Union and Clark avenue It
was, however, a notable fact that most
of the cars were either empty or car
ried only very few passengers, even
during the early hours of the day when
traffic is usually the heaviest
Either through fear Of violence or out
of sympathy for the strikers, a very
large proportion of the people declined
under present conditions to ride on the
Big Consolidated lines and in most
cases walked many blocks in order to
reach the cars of the Little COnsoIida-
ted company which is not involved in
the strike. About 1300 troops are now
acting in cooperation with the regular
police force of the city, under direction
of the mayor and command of rhe mill
will probably be further augumented
during the day by the arrival of several
additional companies of soldiers from
outside points. The majority of the
soldiers now on duty served throughout
the Spanish-American war. With such
a force at his command, Mayor Farley
believes that he is in a position to
promptly suppress any further rioting
President Everett of the Big COnsol-
idated has announced that he VIII take
back $50 of the old men, provided they
viii apply individually. He adds that
possibly this number may be increased
as vacancies occur, as a result of the
wedding OUT process to take place
among the new men employed since the
strike began.
The. strike leaders. still insist that ev-
cry man must be taken back and above
all, that the union must be recognized
by the company. They claim that their
ranks remain practically unbrOken and
that they are in a position to hold out
indefinitely; that the Big Consolidated
is losing money to the extent of many
thousands of dollars per day and sooner
or later viii cOncede the demands OF
the strikers.
