of Men Who Dodge Their Debts.

The Topeka Retail Grocers' associa-

HELD UP LAST NIGHT,
The Highwayman Got S65 and Made
Off With It.

We learn from several sources
that Fletcher Wyche, an employe
of the Cotton Belt Railway was
held up last night at the Interstate
College building situated on College
Hill, and robbed of s65.
Our informant informs us that
Mr.. Wyche being late in coming
home, his little boy went after him
in the buggy While journeying
homeward and when opposite the
Interstate College building, two
men stepped out and seized the
horse and one pulled Mr.. Wyche
from the buggy and went through
his pockets, taking all the money
that Mr.. Wyche had about him
which was $65,
No violence was offered either,
Mr.. Wyche or the boy and the rob-
bers were quick and quiet in their
work, and when they got through
with Mr., Wyche they permitted
him to get back into his buggy and
proceed homeward as if nothing
had happened,
Mr.. Wyche says the robbers we're
dressed in their night clothes and
did not have on any false mask to
disguise their identity.
Mr.. Wyche telephoned marshal
Casey the facts of the robbery at
one O'Clock this morning, and Mr..
Casey not having his horse conven-
lent, and in the second place, the
robbery having taken place beyond
the city limits, he did not 90, but,
however, he referred Mr.. Wyche to
the sheriff, who went out.
We learn that Mr.. Wyche sue
ceeded in getting Mr.. Kirby to as
sist him to look for the robbers,
but, as they could find no trace of
the robbers they abandoned this
Idea.
1t should be borne in mind that
men who have money of any
amount should not carry it about
with them at night, as they are
liable to be held up at any hour of
the night.
We certainly sympathze with Mr..
Wyche at his loss of so large hard
earned sum of money, and trust
that the highway robbers will yet
be apprehended and the money re-
covered and restored to him

would make an effort to have the

re-opened and would drive into

TILE MISSING BARK MIDAS.
A Message Found in a Bottle
Tells the Tale of Her Fate.

PORTLAND orr, Aug. 1O.-What
has every appearance of being a genu-
inc message from the lost bark Midas
was found floating in the breakers off
Stots Place, about four miles north of
the Columbia River, on Tuesday. Tha
slip of paper was found in bottle, and
as far as it could be interpreted by
handwriting experts, the message reads
as follows:
Brit. Bark Midas, ballast shifted, all
in small boats, first mates boat cap
sized; will all drown"
The Midas sailed from Nagasaki for
Portland in January, 1898. with crew
of twenty five men, under charter to c.
w. Tracy to load wheat Soon after
leaving the Japan coast a heavy storm
swept over that region, and two other
ships which afterward reached Port
land narrowly escaped laundering.
On receipt of the message the sigma
ture was compared with that of Cap
tain Messenger on his clearance pa
pers a the custom house. The resent
blance is so striking as to leave small
room for doubt as to it's being made by
the Captain of the lost Midas.

Nearly Sixty Of the Chinese on the
U. S. Transport
In Open Rebellion Against the Captain and
His Officers.
A Terrific Battle Averted Only by
the Cool Nerve Of the Ships
First and Second Officers, Who
Stood Their Ground in the Face
of the Ce1estials With Drawn
Pistols.

SEATTLE (Wash.), Aug. 1O.-The
trouble that has been brewing on the
s United States transport Victoria for
several days eliminated in a mutiny
to-day. Nearly sixty of the Chinese
crew were in open rebellion against the
Captain and his officers.
A terrible battle appeared at one time
imminent and was only avoided by the
cool nerve of the ships first and second
officers, who stood in the face of the
angry Celestials with drawn pistols.
There was fighting for a time, and
the mutinous Cinnamon fought their
way from the decks forward up the
companion ladder to the upper deck,
and thence back to nearly amidships
before their onrush was finally stayed.
Had it not been for the presence on
board the ship of carpenters and ship
wrights, who were armed with hatch
cts, hammers and saws, the Cinnamon
might have won out.
The reason for the mutiny is more
money and shore leave on part of the
crew. The Cinnamon have found out
that they are to work for the United
States Government, and they demand
extra pay of 81 more a month.

RUINS IN ZAMBESIA.
Account by DR.. Peters Of a Recent
Visit

DR.. Karl Peters sends US an account
of visit he made recently to some
ruins near the River Muira, a southern
tributary of the Zambesi in Portuguese
territory, nearly opposite Shupanga.
He refers to a passage in the Atlas
Historique" Q7O5-19), in which it is
stated that halfa-day's journey from
the River Mansoro is the fort of Mas
sapa, and near this is the great noun
tain of Fura, very rich in gold, and
there are people who say that this name
of 'Fura' is a corruption of the name
Ophir. 1t is then stated that in this
mountain are Cyclopean ruins. 1t was
to find these ruins that DR.. Peters made
his journey from the Zambesi; he con-
cludes that the Muirn is the Mansoro
of the old maps. DR.. Peters, accom-
panied by Leonard Puzy, Herr Ernest
Gramann, and a number of porters left
the Milemba, on the south bank OF the
Zambesi, on April 14th in a south
southeast direction. He says:
We marched on this afternoon only
five miles, and camped at the last great
kraal under control of the Portuguese
administration, about an hours dis
lance from the Muira River, where we
had to enter Macombes country. This
river (Which is no other than ia riviere
de Dambarai." we struck next morning
by I O'Clock and followed it's dry bed
eleven miles upwards AT 10 o'clock
advancing my caravan with Mr.. PuZey,
| saw for the first time right in front
of me the strangely shaped outline Of
the Fura Mountains. Two comely
shaped black rocks. through which the
river runs, which here suddenly shows
real water, stand like the posts of
gate, on either side of the stream The
whole mountain is of auartzite slate
and gives with it's dark color an al.
most weird impression. the more so as
it is entirely devoid of population. I
pitched my tent under the hill on the
eastern embankment of the Mu1ra ana
went out for an excursion up river with
Mr.. Purzey and two Somalis. Half a
mile on the right and left hand the
range was still rolling like the hills
of the Neckar above Heidelberg But
then the dark rock steeply fell down
about 800 feet on both sides to the val,
ley of the Muira.
We continued our exploration on the
next day, when 1 moved our camp about
two and one-third miles into the very
center of the valley. where the river
forms bank of alluvial quartz sand.
We could state in the afternoon that
the old report, which says that in this
mountain the river of Dambarari
passes to the north, is quite correct. At
it's entrance in the south the mountain
mass forms two splendid solid rocky
mountains of slate. which fall steeply
about 1000 feet down to the river from
both sides. found out later on that.

Her Household Ways.

l see her, through melodious days,
So sweet about her household ways,
Serene as even a bird that sings,
With all the trouble that life brings
Nothing seems toll, for heaven above
Has lowered her with the gift of love.
That love which deems it not a task
To give the bread the starved lips ask;
To soothe the living into rest
Place roses on the dying breast;
And if there be a heaven above,
To reach it on the wings of Lowell
Life is so short-the grave so deep,
Well may we kiss from eyes that weel
The bitter, burning tears. and make
So, those that bless the way that's trot
Must find at last some heaven and God

LATEST FROM PHILIPPINES.
REBELS SCATTERED FOR MILES
IN EVERY DIRECTION.
A Hundred Killed in Calu1ct Battle
and Three or Four Times That
Number Wounded.

MANILA, Aug. 11-General MacAr-
thurs troops remained last night at
Calulet. The rebels had evidently fled
far beyond rifle range, for the Ameri
can outDosts were not disturbed and
not shot was fired during the night.
At daybreak this morning a recon-
noitering party, consisting of a battal-
ion of the Seventeenth Infantry, with
track toward Angeles, four miles north.
The party approached within LOO
yards of the town, and opened fire with
the field gun. The Americans were re-
ceived with badly directed rifle fire,
which the battalion of the Seventeenth
returned with a few volleys.
The strength of the insurgents not
being known, the situation was report
ed to General Macarthur, who did not
desire to send reinforcements, and di-
rected the accommodating party to re-
turn until the rebels abandoned the
town. Soon after the receipt Of these
orders it became evident that the rebels
had set fire to the town and fled, leav-
ing the place to be occupied by the
Americans.
A battalion of the Twelfth Infantry
was sent on a accommodating expedition
toward the west, but up to noon no
firing had been heard in their direction.

them at MacArthur's headquarters, and
it is believed that they encountered
nothing. -sa. t
Everything indicates that all the reb-
els have scattered for miles in every
direction around Calulet.
The insurgents lost heavily in the
that a hundred were killed, and 300 or
400 wounded. The Iowa Regiment
killed thirty in one place, and one COM
pany of the Seventeenth suddenly en-
countered party Of rebels in a trench
and killed twelve.
The American loss was five killed
and thirty-one wounded, including
three officers.
The attack was a complete surprise
to the insurgents, who had no idea that
a movement was intended until the ar
mored car opened deadly fire with
two Gatlings, a revolving cannon and a
six FOUNDER. The heavy artillery open
ed on both TANKS a moment later. A
majority of the Filipinos were asleep
when the attack was made. Men with
large bells were heard running among
the shacks arousing the soldiers.
The Americans maintained almost a
perfect line four miles through a cane
brake where they could see nothing
ahead. The mud in places was knee
deep in the rice fields and jungles, and
through the bitches flowed small rivers
several feet deep.
The Filipinos tried to ambush the
Americans several times, the country
in the neighborhood being we'll adapted
to these tactics; but the troops stopped
for nothing, forcing their way through
or over obstacles and firing whenever
they could locate the fleeing enemy.
The officers highly commend the re,
cruits of the various regiments.
There is reason to believe the reports
recently received that the insurgents
are short of ammunition, as we'll in.
formed natives at Calulet say the in
surgents had only forty rounds of am
munition, and five rounds extra were
issued just before the fight.
