p. II. CONEY,S MINES.
A Missouri Paper Tells of Their De-
VelOnme emit.

The Benton County Enterprise, pub
lished at Warsaw, Mo-, recently had the
following to say about Captain P. H.
Coney and his interests in Missouri
mineral lands.
''Col. P. H. Coney was in the city last
night, leaving this morning for his
mining lands in Benton county. He is
extensively interested in that part of
Missouri, and announces it as his in
tention to develop the resources as far
as possible. OF the existence of rich
beds of mineral, he says he has not the
least doubt, and this does not need
verifying.
81 have made arrangement stated
the colonel this morning, to have ex-
cursion rates to all point in Benton
county, from the 18th of July to the
middle of October, ana these will be
good from all points on the east of the
Missouri river. 1 now have been bill
ing the towns, and expect great num-
bers of people to take advantage of the
cheap rates to see the country, and
judge of its possibilities themselves
sCol. Coney is getting out a pamphlet
about Benton, Morgan and Pettis coun-
ties, which will be the most authentic
in regard to the resources ever issued.
1t will be illustrated and wide distribu-
ton is to be made of 1t. The Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island railroads will
each take 10000 of the copies to dis
tribute and in all $4,000 will be sent over
the United States and Europe

CAN DO NO MORE.
President Mckinley Will Return
to Canton Tomorrow.

Washington, July 1S-There was no
change today in the Presidents inten-
ton to return to Canton tomorrow
night. He will be in constant communi-
ication with the members of the cabi-
net from there by telephone and tele-
graph and unless something unforeseen
occurs, he does not consider it neces-
Sary to remain in Washington. During
the interim before his return he will
have ample opportunity to go over the
situation in detail with the various cab
met officers. 1t may be that another
formal cabinet meeting will be held to-
morrow.
Up to noon no meeting had been called
for today. Having decided that the
situation does not warrant the calling
of an extra. session at this time and
having agreed on the number of troops
and marines which VIII be sent to the
international forces in China the posi-
ton of the administration is described
by a, prominent official as one of wait
ing. Authentic and reliable news of
the situation in Pekin is expected soon.
Until it arrives nothing remains to
be done but to mobolize and push for
ward the troops and marines selected to
make up our quota of the $4,000 SOL
diers which the commanders at Taku
have decided to be necessary to hold
Tien TSin and insure the success of the
forward movement on Pekin.

OFFER NO HELP.
Kaw Valley Potato Raisers Appeal to
Railroads in Vain.


The Kansas potato growers occupying
the Kaw valley between Topeka and
Kansas City have Joined the chorus of
kickers against existing freight rates
The freight rates from Kansas co
points east, particularly Chicago, range
from 10 to Is cents per bushel, with the
market at % cents. This shuts the
markets and compels them to seek an
outlet west and south. This places them
in competition with Colorado and Tex
as, the result being that the Kansans
are up against it,
The Kaw valley potato growers have
never had such yields as they are now
rushing to market, and they have never
before been confronted by such high
rates of transportation
The Texas potatoes are moving north
at 35 cents per 100. The rate Kansans
pay is "a cents, so there is the kan
sans claim, a discrimination Of 10 cents
per 100.
There is in effect rate of so cents
per 100 on minimum cars of $4,000
pounds, but new potatoes can not be
shipped in such quantities because they
will spoil. so the 81 cent rate applies on
Kansas shipments.
The railroads refuse to make conces-
eionS to the KanSanS, because as they
say IF we do, it means a reduction in
rates from all potato districts and a
compared with the rates we are now
getting"
The potato men have complained and
taken the subject up with the railroads,
but they have been turned down with
out the slightest satisfaction.

BECKHAM'S FIGHT.
Hinges on Resolutions Regarding the
Goebel Law.

Lexington, KY, July 1S-Among the
delegates who have arrived to attend
the Democratic state convention which
begins here tomorrow is Governor
Beckham. Friends of McCreary, Black,
Tarvin, Lewis and Smith, Garrett and
Pryor are also here. The platform will
be adopted before the nomination for
governor is made and If the plank on
the modification of the Goebel election
law is not satisfactory there may be a
movement on the floor of the conven-
ton to change it. If a minority report
on resolutions is adopted over the ma
jority report that the Beckham faction
expects to submit, then the field of can
didateS against Beckham will make
desperate fight They admit that their
hope lies in the differences between the
Beckham delegates on this plank in the
platform and the Generalization of the
Beckham forces that may follow the re-
port of resolutions

BACK TO OLD HOME.
New Hampshire Invites Former Res
idents to Return.


The formerly of New Hampshire
the following notice signed by Governor
Rollins of New Hampshire:
Old home week in New Hampshire
will be celebrated August 18th to Au-
gust 18th, 1900, and it gives me I'M
qualified pleasure to invite all absent
sons and daughters of the state and all
who have some time lived within its
borders to return during that week and
assist US in kindling the fires of state
patriotism. The busy cities. the thriv-
ing villages, the little towns and ham
let's among our smiling hills, will re-
ceive our visitors with genuine New
Hampshire hospitality
The custom of observing Old Home
Week was inauguarted last year with
complete success. Many thousands of
New Hampshire'S absent children re-
turned, and it is expected that the
number will be greatly increased this
year.
That Old Home Week appealed to the
highest sentiments and aroused feelings
long dormant was shown by hundreds
of poems, sonnets, songs, and marches
dedicated to our state, by historical ad-
dresses and articles of interest and
value, and by OratiOnS of great ability.
The endowment of libraries, the cree
ton of public buildings, the awakened
interest in village Improvement and
better highways, the repurchaSing of
the old homeSteads and farms, afford
proof that the festival also appealed to
the practical side of mems natures.
Absent sons and daughters of the
Granite state, no matter what success
has crowned your efforts in your adopt
ed home, remember that the precious
dust of your kindred is here" No mat
ter how dark the clouds about you, re-
member that the staid DOrfc meeting
house prays for you yet"
