BoER EMIGRATION.
The Consul General of tho Orange Frse
State Denies That Any Doors win
Settle In America.

New York. July 21.-Charles d.
Pierce, trustee and treasurer of the
Boer relief fund and consul general
of the Orange Free State, made the
following statement yesterday con-
corning Boer emigration to the United
States:
My attention having been called to the
statement in various newspapers that
10000 or more Beers are about to emf
CRATE from the South African republic
and Orange Free State to the United
States, I wish to state in the most en-
phatic language possible that there is
not one word Of truth in such state
ment. Stories of that kind emanate from
British sources. to make it appear in
America that the Beers are discouraged
and that the war is about over, but I
say no. The Beers are as determined to
day as they ever were that they will
gain their independence from British
rule and everything points in that direc-
ton. 1 have the most encouraging news
from the republics.
The British have lost fully 10000 men.
and their weekly average of losses is
now from 500 to 1,S00 men, killed in bat
tie, taken prisoners. inyalided home OF
died from disease. The greatest number
of men the Beers have had in the field at
one time was $1,000, and If there are
enough men now in the field to hold
Roberts at bay for the next two years
or longer, their love of country will al
ways cause them to remain there.

WOOLLEY NOTIFIED.
Prohibitionist Candidate for Presi-
dent Told Of His Nomination.
He Declares Hfmself Color Bearer In thu
Next Forward Movement of Human
ity-The Greatest Pitched Bas.
tie Of the Age.

Chicago, July 21.-John g. Woolley
prohibition candidate for the presi
dency of the United States, was for
mally notified of his nomination at q
meeting held last night in Central
Music hall. Samuel Dickie, of Albion,
Mich, delivered the. address of nomi-
nation. Mr.. Woolley, in replying tc
the notification speech of Mr.. Dickie.
spoke in part as follows:
I accept this nomination. not as the
leader of forlorn hope. but as a color
bearer in the next and greatest forward
movement of humanity. For it seems
well within lines of the most studious
moderation to believe that organized
conscience. as represented by the church.
and organized greed. as represented by
the liquor traffic, are forming rapidly In
American politics. for the greatest
pitched battle of the age and in that fight
he Is the chief of billiards who cannot
pick the winner.
Our success depends upon the adj
vancement of no candidate If it were so:
we might well teel discouraged at the
prospect. Our issue is our real nominee,
and if but half million Christian men
be true we will elect 1t on the 9Th OF
next November:
Two errors beset us all the way. that
which says public sentiment is not
ready, this thins; cannot be DONE" and
that which says, lit is right, we shall
win quickly
If public sentiment is not ready, we
must get It ready, and that cannot be
done by surrendering to the enemy. But
the supposition wrongs the people. They
are ready If they can have their atten-
ton drawn and held to the religious argu-
ment, as opposed to party expediency.
They have been dragged about in the
bad lands of politics until they are dis
couraged and perverted in judgment, so
that they do not reason of Righteousness
at all. We do not need to create senti-
ment, but to collect it. and that cannot
be done quickly. Our fight is not against
the people, nor even against the saloon
primarily, but we fight to set up an ideal,
and victory in such matter neither
halts nor hurries.
I say on the grol nd of both good morals
and good politics; the next great business
of this country is to get itself upon a
straight-out conscience basis. trusting
any. civil service" that comes, out OF
that to be reliable in minor things.
By the revolution of 1776 we set up the
ideal of liberty: by the revolution of 17S9
we set up the ideal of social confederacy;
by the revolution of 1861 we set up the
ideal of nationaTunity. Not one of these
ideals is yet realized in perfect fact, but
they are coming on. By the revolution
Of 1900 we shall set up national right
eousness, which. providentially, is ready
to loyal hands, in the issue of the pro-
hibitiOn party.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 21.-A
writ of execution to collect the $34,-
600 judgment against the two re-
naming insurance companies in the
famous Hillmon case was put in the
hands of United States Marshal
Sterne. This new move on the part
of the attorneys for Mrs. Hillmon

end to the 20 years of litigation with

Arouse. the Martial, Ardor.

The Chinese atrocities have aroused
the martial ardor of Kansas patriots.
They stand ready at n moments no
tice to clean out the Chinese empire
and scatter Morgolian gore all over
darkest Asia. At least six such have
written to Gov. Stanley. Two OF
them have companies already raised
and three others express the hope
that if a call for volunteers is issued
they may be permitted to organize
companies. The letters all are based
on the anticipation that Mckinley
will issue a call for troops.

Judge Lacombe, in the United
States circuit court in New York,
granted a temporary injunction which
restraints the consolidation of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway
with the Kansas & Pacific road. The
Missouri, Kansas & Texas trains run
into Kansas City over leased lines
from Parsons. using the Kansas &
Pacific from Parsons to Paola and
the Memphis the rest of the way.
A consolidation plan was arranged by
which, the Kansas & Pacific stock
was to be exchanged for common
stock of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas. Several minority stockhold-
ers objected to the terms of the sale
and brought the suit to prevent it..
Judge Lacombe, in his opinion, says
that the apparent value of the road
was reduced as plausible excuse for
selling it at a price below it's real
worth.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.


A Case OF Woman's Faithfulaeas.
A sorrowful case of voman's faith
fulness is reported from Hutchinson.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Cora Poucher,
living with her husband in Illinois,
was induced to come to Alden, this
state, by her parents. The parents
did not like their daughters hus-
band and proposed to separate them
for good, so when she wished to re-
turn they refused to give her money
or let her go. But when letter
came from Illinois announcing the
husbands illness, Mrs. Poucher ran
away. On Saturday she landed in
Hutchinson with her clothes torn and
haggard of face. having beaten her
way thus far in an empty cattle car.
after walking from Alden to the rail-
road. She was helped at Hutchinson
and by this time. no doubt, has re-
joined her lord and master.-Kansas

Fort Scot. Lop. OF Additions.

The aggregate area of Fort Scott
will be reduced almost one-half by
the city council. which will throw off
nearly all the boom editions of 1885,
IS. The extent of the fictitious boom
is illustrated by the fact that the eX-
clusion of two-fifths OF the present
area of the city will throw but about
200 people out of the city limits. and
will deprive the municipality of but
$44S of city taxes. The city engineer
has recommended that 16 additions be
thrown out, in order to avoid the eX-
pense of keeping up the streets aud
bridges in them.

found a way to kill chinch bugs that
are infesting the corn fields again.
1t is by fermenting cornstalks. A
row or two of corn is cut around the
edge of the field and laid in little
piles at short intervals. In a short
time the green corn ferments and

To secure a majority In the next house
they will have to elect only 80 addi-
tlonal members, and TO acquire these
80 members II is not necessary to carry
a single northern state for the presi-

might go for Mckinley by a large ma

out the north.
In the absence Of a third presiden-

themselves anti-imperialists will con-
centrate their efforts upon the close
congressional districts throughout the
country. That Is to say, they will
throw their votes and whatever lnlu-
nee they q exert In n close district
In favor of Democratic candidates
without regard to the financial ques.
