POSSE CUT DOWN.
Force of Deputies In ST. Louis to Be
Reduced to 500.

St. Louis. June 22.-Sherif Pohlman
today received a communication from
the board of police commissioners of
which the following is a part:
AT a meeting of the board this morn
ing we have decided to order the parole
of all the posse excepting 500 men which
number we request may be kept under
arms until further orders from this
board.
I'VE further request that you make
such arrangements as you deem advis-
able to have ready for active service on
the Fourth of July at least ], 900 men, as
the discharge of firearms and fireworks
upon that day is liable to occasion and
encourage acts of lawlessnes and vio-
lence."
Ora Havill, son of Captain Frank w
HaVill, of the supreme court for the
southern district of Illinois, an employee
of the st. Louis Transit company who
was arrested in the company of Clar-
ence M. Smith, with dynamite percus-
sion caps and fuse in his pockets was
sweated by Chiefs Campbell and Des-
mond today on the suspicion that he
had information concerning the dyna-
miters who have been wrecking Transit
company cars.
Havill and Smith were arrested not
far from the Transit company's bridge

reported was to be blown up

DEWEY IS RESERVED.
Declines to Discuss the Philadelphia
Developments.

Washington, June 22-Admiral Dewey
has received the news of the nomination
of Mckinley and Roosevelt with equal
political and philosophical reserve.
When asked last evening for an express
sion of opinion on the result of the Re
publican convention with reference,
especially, to the candidates nominated,
the admiral said:
L have nothing whatever to say re-
garding the action of the convention
just concluded at Philadelphia. 1 would
be only too glad to crafty your readers,
but really, you must tell them I can not
say anything upon the subject of the
nominations made. I can not, it should
be well understood, give an expression
of opinion even had I a well-defined
one"
Admiral Dewey could not be induced
to change his mind. He appears, how
ever, to be unmoved by the nomina-
tons. Admiral Dewey was comfortably
ensconced in a great armchair, and, as
a matter of fact, did nor evince any
surprise. emotion or interest in the do
ings of the Republican party.
Mrs. Dewey, who was present during
the short interview, has recovered from
her recent attack of tonsilitis.

Taxpayers of Bourbon County
to Investigate Finances.
Charge DefalcatiOn and Mis-
appropriation of Funds.
WANT COUNTY LEAGUE.
Said That the Law Has Been
Entirely Ignored.
Expect to Call in Some of the
County Bonds.
COUNTY LEAGUE.

Fort Scott. June 22.-The executive
committee of the Tax Payers league of
this city has issued the following call:
To the Tax Payers of Bourbon County:
You are respectfully invited to attend
a meeting of the tax payers of Bourbon
county, to be held June 23d, Saturday,
at 2 o'clock, at the court house. for the
purpose of forming tax payers league
for the county.
The tax payers of the city of Fort
Scott under the auspices of the tax
payers league since their organization
have turned into the city treasury over
$1,000, and into the county treasury be-
tween six and eight hundred dollars, as
the result of the investigation of the
city offices of Fort Scott. It is alleged
that there has been a large misappro-
priation of money by the county officers,
following the custom which has been
laid down by their predecessors. In a
number of cases almost double charges
have been made for work done upon the
plea that their predecessors made such
charges. The law has been entirely ig-
nOred, governing the charges proper for
such officers.
It will be the purpose also for the
league so formed to discuss the advisa-
bility of calling in some of the county
bonds. There will be, it is estimated
$4,000 in the sinking fund next July for
the purpose of paying off the $219,00O
owing on the railroad bonds. The
banks of our city are only paying per
cent interest on this, and it is be-
lieved that there could be a great saw
ing made to the county by buying these
bonds in and stopping the interest
Those who are we'll advised as to the
county matters claim by such arrange
ments that the county tax could be re-
duced 1 per cent.
All the tax payers of this county are
respectfully invited to attend this meet

MRS. PLATT A POLITICIAN.
New York Boss Always Asks Her
Advice


New York, June 22-'tMr. Platt is not
very ill., said Mrs. Thomas c. Plat to-
day. but" she added, 'he needs rest
that he could not get in Philadelphia
and it is my province to see that he
gets it,
Mrs. Plat knows almost as much
about politics as does her astute hus-
known as his first lieutenant" but it
is question if general commanding
would not be a better title. They have
been married many, many years, and
Mrs. P1att has kept pace with her hus-
band all the way up the ladder.
Senator Platt enjoys being leased
about his submission to his wife. He
is proud of her, and has never taken
an important step in his life, it is said,
without her advice. When it was pro-
posed that Mr. Plat should be the
Republican candidate for governor, he
carried the suggestion to her.

No politician could attempt to go be-
hind that verdict.

Mrs. Platt was asked today.

ply. 4 believe every true wife ought to
be her husbands companion in mind as

he does, though we do not always agree

HOPES TO SAVE KANSAS.
Hanna Will "Play Up the War Bust
ness With Teddy"

Philadelphia, June 22.-Mark Hanna
who engineered the first nomination Of
Mckinley through the convention of
1896 and who claimed the credit of
the ticket of this year. left his apart
ments last evening and went to the
summer residence Of Clement A. Girls
com at Haverford, where he has here
tofore hidden himself from the crowds.
He professed to be serenely happy over
the outcome.
"Oh. it is a magnificent ticket; a
splendid ticket. and 1 am more than
satisfied" was what he said for publi-
cation.
Hanna breakfasted with Senator
''Wel, what do you think of it,
Hanna, now that it is all over but the
shouting?"
Well" said Hanna, slowly and ap-
parently measuring every word, I've
won a great victory in this thing. I've
finally had everything my way. I
could not well get it any other way.
Put I must say that 1 am not very
proud of my victory"
What is going to be the effect of
the retirement of Roosevelt from New
York state politics?" Senator Spooner
asked.
Il do not know" Hanna replied, ''but
I do believe that Roosevelt will give
us electoral votes that we would not
have secured in any other way, and
all of these things are worth taking
into consideration"
Senator Hanna did not explain what
he meant, but he referred to the situa-
ton in Kansas. Subsequently. when
asked about his enigmatical statement,
Hanna said that Roosevelt was the only
man who could assure the state Of
Kansas to the Republican party.
Roosevelt had a number Of the Kansas
men under him in Cuba, and Hanna
said that he was extremely popular
with the men Of that section on ac-
count of his treatment of his men, and
the affection that had grown up be-
tween them.
Hanna. discussing this subject with
one of his lieutenants, said that it
would be necessary to play up the war
business in the coming campaign, and
that 20 man could do better than
Roosevelt himself.
1.-THE Kansas boys like him." Hanna
said, "and Governor Roosevelt may be
able to win them over to the Republi
can ticket. Certainly no other man
can do it,

Sedgwick County Has 2,340,OoO
Bushels Which Will Bring
$1,4O4.OOO,

Wichita, June 22.-Sedgwick county
is full of farmers who began with moth
ing and are rich. Because of the big
crops here land is advancing in price.
Oscar z. Smith, the principal land agent
here, says that land throughout the
county has advanced in the last year
from "a to $40 an acre. Land is worth
from $40 to $50 an acre.
Upward OF million dollars worth OF
farm mortgages were paid off in Sedg-
wick county last year. The exact
amount in cancelled mortgages last
year, as shown by the county's records,
was 81 FOG, 224.70. That was of prOsper1-
ty that came to the farmers of this
county from big crops last year, when
they raised 1,159,776 bushels Of wheat,
which was sold for $6O3,0S3.
This year Sedgwick county has 10000
acres in wheat. 1t will average a yield
of eighteen bushels to the acre at the
very lowest estimate and that will be
2.340, 600 bushels. more than twice the
yield of last year, and 1t will bring, at
the least calculation, so cents a bushel,

this county expect to get rs cents

many say they will hold it till it goes
up to 81 a bushel, which they expect to
get for it before snow flies.
A reporter drove to the largest single
wheat field in Sedgwick county. It is
on the farm of Frank Means, fourteen
miles southwest of Wichita. He has
1910 acres of wheat in one field, and
he expects it to yield twenty-six bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Means came to this
county seventeen years ago and bought
eighty acres of land at a cheap figure,
and he had not money enough to pay
&or it. Today he owns LAO acres of
land and is out of debt. He made his
money growing wheat and feeding cat

QUE NATIONAL WEALrH.

TFrom Philadelphia North Americana
The tremendous balance of trade in
our favor has been going on now for
four years. In the u months ending
May 1897. it was SS0s, 795, 262; in the next
year it was 1858. 729 1877, in the next $685.
951 1897, and in the year just closed it has
been $685.. O5S. 6O4. In these four years we
have sold goods to the extent of 81. $685.
534.450 more than we have bought
OF course, if all these things had been
paid for in money the financial system
of the world would have been wrecked.
AS a matter of fact, in this period our
net imports of gold have been only tri-
fie over $500, 900 00O and in the same time
our net exports Of silver have been over
$i0ooOo,00O, leaving only about $780,
100000 of treasure to balance nearly
$1,000 600. 600 of merchandise.
Evidently we are being paid in other
ways-partly by the return Of our own
securities, and partly by the creation Of
foreign Indebtedness to US. And that, Of
course, means increasing resources ev-

The supporters Of the president will
now try to break a precedent which has
been established since 1872. Since that
date no man has been chosen to the
presidency two terms in succession. Mr..
Cleveland was twice elected but the
term of President Harrison interviewed.
If the ticket succeeds, there is little
doubt in the mind of anybody now that
there will be an attempt to overcome
another precedent by electing a vice
president to the Office of chief executive.
