have you not been impressed by evil

the President, in his speech al Canton
on the 18th of July last, to mention the
Constitution in connection with any
thing whatever? He proclaimed the
baldest imperialism" when he said TO
the committee notifying him of his re-
nomination, that Congress has full
legislative power over the territory be-
longing to the United States, and
therefore, by inference, can govern IN
disregard of the Constitution. wnicn

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
INDIANAPOLIS MONETARY
CONVENTION.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. s, 1900.
Dear Sir:-There is very great danger
that the Bryan Free Silver advocates will
by the November election gain control of
the lower house of the Fifty-seventh Con-
gress. If they gain representatives from
eight districts and keep what they now
have, they will be In the majority. There
is little doubt but they will gain three In
North Carolina. They will probably gain
one in Kentucky, two in Indiana. one in
Missouri and one in Texas. 1t will be very
difficult for the Sound Money people to
prevent the Bryanites from gaining the
districts mentioned and II will be very diff
cult for the Sound Money people to gain
any new districts. 1t is scarcely possible
for our people under present favorable
conditions to realize that we are on tho
verge of calamity that will certainly de-
stroy the present commercial prosperity.
With these statements accepted as the
plain truth will any thoughtful man be
willing to take any risk? viii any
thoughtful man rest content without effort
in this campaign? In every Congression-
al district In the country the friends OF
Sound Money should put forth every pos
sible effort to secure votes favorable to
candidates committed to sound money
laws. 1t Is absolutely necessary to gain
some new districts, and a struggle is nee
essary to TO save many that are now rep
resented by Sound Money members. The
Sound Money candidates in your district
must be supported by all possible cooper
alton. You can help to save the people
from the disaster that threatens them by

Sir:-The Republicans have been for

FUTURE FOR gas CITY
Second Year of the Thriving Manu-
featuring Town Opens With
Great Promise.

Gas City, which appeared on the
map of Allen county just about year
ago and has grown from a sloping
meadow of native prairie grass into a
busy town of five hundredpeople is all
stirred up over the immediate future
prospects before it.
The town was founded to furnish
homes for the men employed at the
McRae-Daly and Cherokee-Lanyon
smelters which were both erected close
at the edge of the town site. Today
these works are each employing 125
workmen at good wages, operating
four blocks of furnaces and turning
out fine grade of spelter. That is
the story of the past and the cause of
the phenomenal growth.
Today there appears every evidence
that the tale is to be repeated. The
companies operating both plants have
decided to cease operating their
smelters in the coal fields and to con-
centrate their capital in the gas field.
Already preparations are being made
to enlarge at Gas City and the materi-
al is on the ground for additional
blocks of retorts. Contracts for
twenty new houses to accommodate the
new workmen have been already let.
All this means new homes, new work.
men, new merchants, and all the citi-
zens who compose the population of
all towns, about an average of one
workman at the factories to one man
making his living in some other call
ing. 1t means a population of l,00O
within the immediate future and the
development of a substantial little
city. 4 81 800 school house is being
built today, the streets are being grad
ed, and stores of brick are under con-
struction.
Few places offer the same induce
ments for the investment of capital
and few places ford an opportunity
for new comers to locate and get in on
the ground floor. A letter addressed
to +. X. Taylor at Gas City, Allen
county, Kansas, or better, a call in
person, will convince anyone that the
foregoing is a conservative statement
of facts.
Monday, November 5, at , p. m.
twenty lots in Gas City will be sold at
public auction to the highest bidder
for cash, Warranty deed and alb
stract furnished with each lot.

Death of Mrs. A. IL. Brown.

Anna L. Brown, wife of A. H.
Brown, died at the family home oil
south Cottonwood street at 10:30 last
Thursday aged So years. The funeral
was held Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock from the house.
The news of Mrs. Browns death
came as sad surprise to many of
her friends, although knowledge of
aer long illness somewhat prepared
the intimate friends of the family.
For several years she has been an
invalid and her husband and children
have devoted their lives to her, seek
ing medical aid wherever it promised
relief, but all without avail. The de-
ceased was one of the earliest settlers
in Allen county and in the city and
over the county her friends are mum
bered by the hundred.
Anna L. Masterson was born in
Manard county Illinois, July II, 1s45.
and died at her homein lola, Kansas
October Is, 1900.
When about twelve years of age she
came with her parents to Garnet.
Kansas where in 1864 she was married
90 a. II. Brown and for about twenty
years they lived in thercountry home
southeast Of lola. Since that time
they have resided in or near lola. and
Mrs. Brown has endeared herself to
all who knew her.
Early inslife she became a member
of the Christian church in which she
was an active worker until Il short
time ago, when she identified herself
with the Christian Scientists.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
husband and ndfourchildren: Mrs. Min
ME Augustine, of Moran, Mrs. Hattie
Fryer, Ella and Ralph Brown, of lola.
One sister, Mrs. Judy, of Garnett
survives her. To each of these, her
beautiful Christian life was ever an
incentive to all that is good and noble
and the sympathy of their friends poes
out to them in their sad bereavement.
a noble Christian woman, a fond and
faithful wife, true and tender mother
is at rest.
The funeral service was held at the
residence and was conducted by the
Ch ristian Scientists. At the grave
the services were under the auspices
of the X. & l.. of S., and were partici-
pated in by the members of the A.

Chicago Interiors Farmers in our
extreme northwestern state have been
greatly puzzled over the origin of
fires occurring upon their praires far
remote from locomotive sparks, in
sections not visited by Indians, and at
seasons of the year when there were
no hunters in the country. They have
carefully traced back the progress of
these fires until in each case they
have found the flames proceeded from
point in the grass where lay "a cast
away beer bottle, itself the focal point
of all the trouble. The spherical
glass in the bottom had acted as a
powerfully concentrating prism, and
through this the suns rays had fired
the dry plain. Thus traffic which COR

What Biologists Can Do
Lawrence Journal:

bHWftnCe JOuFIuE
About year ago some prospectors
for coal near Atchison came to
consult Prof Haworth. They finally
interested Mr.. Haworth and he made
several trips to the place and studied
the geological structure of the land.
Looking up the matter as best he
could from all sources available he
made out a chart showing where they
might find coal but stating that he
was pretty sure they would find no
gas. His statement then was that
they would likely find coal at a depth
of somewhere near a thousand feet.
When the boring was begun the
Atchison people were very anxious to
get the exact report of soil and ma
terial gone through, so they suggested
that If Mr.. Haworth would send a
man to watch half the time and keep
an exact record, that the University
could have the core after the work
was finished. The man was sent and
the core will be boxed and shipped to
the University. 1t will be boxed in
boxes ten feet long, each box holding
four pieces, or thirty boxes. The
University has the core of a well
bored few years ago near Cherry
vale. This one was 1,220 feet Ideep
These cores will not be where thelgen-
eral public can see them, but they will
he here, should any question ever
arise in which they would be of use to
settle. Prof. Haworth's great inter-
est in the discovery is that he was so
successful in locating the vein. AT a
dept of 800 feet, % inch veinilwas
struck. When /, 200 feet was passed,
Prof. Haworth estimated that their
next find would be between LILO feet
and l, $50 feet. The fact is that at
! ,l25 feet 3 foot vein of good coal
vas found. This tends to show some
of those who seem to doubt the practi-
bility of geological study, that some
use can be made of it after all.

A Campaign Tale Rnmned

Some days ago in a speech down at
Humboldt Colonel Harvrv who is
running for Office on the Kansas fus-
ion ticket, made some remarks.
Among other things he belittled Mr..
Roosevelt and declared that the
"press-agent" reports of his bravery
at San Juan hill were all rot and
branded the story that Roosevelt led
the charge up the hill is a fake.
Roosevelt rode up that HILL" de-
declared Mr. Harvey. "along a path
made by the colored regiment that
went up ahead OF him.
All of which naturally incused the
patriotic contingent Of the audience.
Now it so happens hat George De-
Clute, OF lola, son OF G.. u. DcCu'e.
the wei known clothing merchant.
was q lGmed sight closer to the scene
of tia. stirring charge than Colonel
Hary1N was. And MIR. George De-
Clu'c says that anybody that SAYS
Roosevelt did not lead that charge up
that hill lies. Mr.. DeClute saw IT as
he was right there. While he differs
politically from Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr..
DcClute gives unhesitatingly the
credit due him.
And that gallant colorCd regiment
does not try to take away any credit
from the Rough Riders, nor the
Rough Riders from the colored regi-
ment. Roosevelt went ahead of his
men and got in the thickest of the hot
test kind Of a hot place and the gall
ant colored troops went into that hell
hole and saved the day. The Rough
Riders stirred up storm that would
have annihilated them had not the
colored regiment saved their bacon
for them.
And so Mr.. Harvey seems to be
somewhat raveling his right to the
title of Colonel" in his Jealous de-
sire to take away from the sell
deserved good repute and honor be-
longing to another.

Robbed of SIG and a Watch

Mr.. F. p. Dellone, brick mason
who lives on east Lincoln street, awoke
Monday to a realization of the
loss of sixteen dollars in money and
his watch. He feels certain that some
one familiar with the house entered
last night and extracted the valuables
from his clothes while he was asleep.
Mr.. Dellone was awakened in the
night by hearing a noise and after lis
tening called out andhis wife answered
him. as she was up in the next room
looking after the children. Later all
was quiet but he awoke toward morn
ing and discovering the loss began a
search. He awoke his wife but had to
call to her repeatedly and ordinarily
she is a very light sleeper The whole
family had headaches today and think
that the thief must havedrugged them.
Mr.. Delome is a brickmason and works
out at Gas City at present and the
loss is severe upon him. There is no
clue to the thief and little probability
that he will be caught.
