Geo. l.. Graves, of Elwood township
called on US Monday. He showed us
the pedigress of seven head of Short
Horn Cattle which he has just brought

The bull Milton 144513-was calyed
last April from "Lassies Chris'' by
"Machen" by '.Pringle" tracing to the
famous imported Rosemary By
Flash" Mr.. Graves has probably the
finest Shorthorn farm in Southern
Kansas, handles nothing but thorough
breds and will soon have every hooi
registered. His pedigrees are without
single missing link and his heifers
have been as carefully selected as the
males. He pays good price for his
stock but he says it pays. He seems to
be making money at it at any rate.

Washington, Aug. 1.-President Nc
Kinley will give q reception to Ad-
miral Dewey at the White House when
the latter arrives in Washington. At
first he was in doubt whether a re.
ception or dinner would be more ap.
propriate, but the former is likely to
be decided on for the reason that 1t
would be more popular in character,
and would grant IL multitude of people
an opportunity to meet the naval hero

simple and will differ in no Important
respects from regular affairs Of that
character at the White House. Later
on the expectation is that a dinner also

DECLARE MARTIAL LAW.
Adjt. Gen. Axline Says 1t IL the Only
Way to Stop Disorder at CIeve-

land.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 1.-Notwith-
standing the fact that big crowds
were upon the streets yesterday there
were no outbreaks Of violence and ,ap-
parently very little attention was paid
to the Big Consolidated cars which
ran on all lines on schedule time.
West side and out Broadway. to
empty, but the East side lines, espe-
cially those running to the parks, We're
we'll patronized, though they carried
fewer passengers by far than usual on
fair Sundays.
Adjt. Gen. Axline, speaking Of the
fear of the people to ride on the cars
in certain districts, said:
'"This state Of affairs Is likely to
continue several weeks o. months If
q settlement is not reached. The only
way to put q stop to it Is to declare
martial law. That would require 1900
or 5000 soldiers and every street
would be patrolled. Everybody would
be required to remain indoors after
certain hours and all who Xare out on
the street then without q permit
would be arrested. Martial law would
end the trouble"
The only trouble on the South side
was the hold-up of an ice cream
wagon by a crowd of soldiers, who
took from it a four gallon freezer full
of cream. They offered to buy, but
the driver of the wagon refused to
accept it, saying he could not sell.
The okcer of the soldiers said he or
dered the cream several days ago, but
the dealer, who promised to deliver it.
did not do so, probably because Of
the boycott. When the soldiers saw
one Of the con,pany's wagons coming
they stopped it, took the cream and
promised to pay for it. The people in
the neighborhood looked on this as a
great outrage, but the soldiers only
laughed and treated it as a joke.

FEMALE

h Sent Poisoned Candy to Herself
In the Hope of Keeping Her Name
Out of a scandal.
San Francisco, Aug. 1. The mys-
terry Of the sending Of a basket of
poisoned fruit on June % to Miss
Florence Campbell of $40 Ellis street,
has been solved by Chief of Police
Lee, and the result shows that no at
tempt was made to take life and that
no n was made i'll by the poisoned
fruit. 1t appears that Miss Campbell
sent the poison to herself in further
ance Of a little plot by which she
hoped to keep her name from figuring
q correspondent in a divorce suit. An
investigation was made by Chief Lee,
who later confronted Miss Campbell
with the accusation of having sen the
fruit to herself. She then confessed
the plot. There will be no prosecution,
as the law does not cover the case.

army and the secretary Of war. He is
now preparing his side Of the case,
which will be submitted to the new

and it is stated that with the incoming

Port Jervis, N. Y, Aug. 1.-The ac-
cident on the Erie railroad, growing
out of the landslide, a mile east Of
Lackawaxen Saturday night, was not
as serious as at first reported. Only

rallied engine of the west-bound Chi
cago express, which turned over on
the track, We're killed, though q mum.
Der Of passengers on the express, the
yestibule passenger train for Buffalo
and Cleveland, which left. New York
at Z O'clock, were injured. The wreck,
which occurred shortly before mid
night, was preceded by a cloudburst
and storm which lasted two hours. A
section Of the bank fell on the east
bound track, directly in front of the
freight train. Several trees went down
with the rocks and earth and the
freight cars and engine were turned
Oper directly across the west-bound
tracks Of the Erie road. Sixty freight
cars constituted the train. Only TWEEN.
ty-two were derailed and the debris
was piled on the west-bound tracks
just as the Chicago express put in an
appearance, running at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. The engine of the
express train crashed into the wreck
and the baggage car, combination and
buffet a and Pullman sleepers piled
UPON the tracks Immediately in front
of the wrecked cars. The first sleeper
was split in two parts as q result Of
the accident and the passengers were
thrown thirty feet down an embank-
ment. Fire at once broke out and
fOl1r cars Of tho oynrpss train and nino
of the freight cars were burned. Bag

self under the baggage car door, re-
covered consciousness only to discover
that he was all alone in that part Of

aged to crawl from his position only to
find the blaze starting a short distance
off him, while the cars were braced
somehow over him. He called for as
sistance, but there was no response.
Then he saw the passengers who had
been hurled down the thirty-foot en-
bankment endeavoring to extricatc
themselves from the debris and make
their way up the bank. All were clad
only in their night clothes and they

Puerto Plata, San Domingo, Aug. 1.
The situation is critical. An out
break is ~momentarily expected. The
friends Of the government are under
arms and ready for action to protect
property and preserve peace. A feeble
attempt was made to seize the badly of
President HenreauX by the assassins,
Ramon Caceres, Manuel Caceres, Hor-
acio Vasquez and Domingo P%ichardin,
who are in the country about Moca
with their followers. The burial Of the
president was conducted with fitting
honors. Gov. Pepin has assembled
troops in Moca and the governor of La
Vega Real has 1000 men. The minis
ter of the treasury has arrived at Moca
in hot haste. The government is tax
ing steps for the protection of business
aud the finance of the country INT ex-
poets to carry out the contemplated
cancellation Of the state bank notes.
In Puerto Plata there is an urgent de-
mand that the government send a SUI
ficient force to Moca to hunt down the
assassins of the president.
Gen. Gomez for President.
Kingston, JAM, Aug. IA private
cable dispatch received here by way of
Cape Haitien reports that the revolu-
ton in San Domingo is progressing
%favorably. The dispatch says that the
real reason for the holding Of Heur-
eaux's body at Santiago and its inter-
ment there was that the country be-
tween Santiago and Porto Plata Is
occupied by the insurgents, who,
abandoning their plan Of occupying
Moca as a base of operations, are con-
%centrating to attack Porto Plata, which
is feebly garrisoned. Great excitement
prevails owing to the fact that the
government has not been able to ascer-
tain the extent Of the ramiications OF
the revolution and is growing democrat
lied through the death of the presi-
dent. In the event of the revolution
succeeding, still, according to private
cablegrams, it is probable that Jiminez
and Jintos, the reputed leaders. Will
agree to retire, offering the presidentcy
to Gen. Maximo Gomez, who would
prove acceptable to all parties. A
deputation, it is reported, is going to
Cuba to confer with Gen. Gomez.

of Cuban emblems were displayed. A
number of the speeches were made
at the meeting, all in favor of abso-

had spoken of the assembly as one
