UNIFORMS FOR VOTERS.
Rough Rider Suits and Microscopic
Views Illinois Campaign Features.

Chicago, July 12.-Manufacturers and
dealers in torches, flags, uniforms, caps
and other paraphernalia incident and
necessary to political campaigns are
making large preparations for a spec
tacular fight this fall. They say that
Illinois in particular will furnish more
sensations and novelties in the way of
marching clubs, uniformed organiza-
lions and semi military bodies than
have been seen in many years.
The Republican managers are count
ing on what one of them called a roar
ing, rip-snorting, hip hip hurrah' cam
paign, with Roosevelt, San Juan and
broncho- busters as central figures. The
moving picture man has been ordered to
get ready to show microscopic views of
the charge of the rough riders up San
Juan hill The only moving picture man
who was in Santiago province at the
time of the San Juan fight was sitting
under a fly tent in Siboney. twelve miles
to the rear, with his machine in good
working order, but with his films stuck
together and useless when Teddy
made his charge. Nevertheless in Phil
adelphia a newspaper man of that town
showed a series of moving pictures
labeled 'Roosevelt's Rough Riders at
San Juan" and the crowds in the street
cheered them enthusiastically. These
pictures are to be brought to Chicago.
They are what are known as smade-to-
order pictures, but the photographer
who took them forgot that the rough
riders in Cuba were the only soldiers at
the time of the San Juan fight who wore
the yellow uniforms In the moving
pictures the rough riders are dressed

Mr.. W G. Hay, No. 317 Locust St,
says: In August, 1898, 1 was taken
sick and was unable to work all winter.
My sickness left me with kidney trouble
and the pain in my back was some
thing awful. I could not sit or recline
without the aching becoming unbear-
able. The secretions from the kidneys
were discolored and offensive. I was in
bed when 1 learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills and 1 sent to Rowley & Shows
drug store, corner Sixth street and Kan
sas avenue, and got a box. The third
dose gave me relief and in a short time
1 was able to get up. The treatment
rid me OF the pain, the kidney secre-
lions were corrected and my general
health greatly improved"

LACK OF EVIDENCE.
There Seems to Be Something Wrong
With Liquor Prosecutions.


With Liquor Prosecutions.
The trials of Frank Murphy and F.
B. Smith for selling liquor are booked
for o'clock this afternoon and 1t is
probable that they will go the way Of
previous trials-dismissed for lack of
evidence. There are six or more build
fngs in Topeka in which liquor has been
sold for some time and the men who run
the places have been arrested but have
been dismissed because there is no evil
dence against the man who does the
actual selling The paid witness or
''spotter'' seldom Identifies the bar
keeper and the men he reports as being
patrons of the bar never do. They all
admit having drank liquor in these
places but will not or can not say who
was the man behind the bar. A row
of three men stood up before the wit
nesses in a trial a few days ago and
the witnesses were asked if any one of
the men was the one behind the bar.
Each witness denied being able to pick
the man and there was not a person in
the court room that was not satisfied
that the witnesses lodged the issue The
men who stood up all looked the ''sa-
loon element from top to toe and were
interested in the place where the wit
nesses testified that they had obtained
liquor
In the face of such testimony it is
impossible to convict any one but it is
not impossible to enjoin the owners of
the buildings. If the injunction was
used or a. few of the short sighted wit
nesses were sent to jail the joints would

NOT FOR BRYAN.
Eastern Gold Democrats Opposed to
the Kansas City Ticket.


New York July 12.-Rynier J. Wor-
tendyke, a well-known lawyer Of Jersey
City who was the gold Democratic can
didate for congress in the Seventh New
Jersey district in 1896, made the fol-
lowing statement today:
THE sound money Democrats of New
Jersey stand exactly where they stood
four years ago. So far as I can judge
the situation, the specific declaration of
IS to 1 and the emphatic refusal of the
position taken in 1896, make it impossi-
Gratis to do anything else except to OPP
FORM The course adopted at the recent
Democrats in New Jersey to vote for
the very small vote polled for Palmer
of US to believe that it would be I'M
WISE if not futile, to place again in the
field a third ticket, especially when the
issues of the currency question are so
clearly defined by the two old parties.
The Republican party has, since its
return to power, adopted the gold STAN
dard and carried out the financial policy
for which we contended in the Indian
apolis convention of four years ago.
Having done this, the gold Democrats,
as a rule, will, I believe, be led to vote
for President Mckinley in order to. en-
phasize- in the strongest way their OPP
position to Colonel Bryan and his free
silver doctrine"

in infantry clothes and the uniforms are
blue.
This defect was pointed out to the Re
publican managers, and they have or
dered new set of films, so that the
uniforms may be historically correct.
Another little oversight in the Phila-
delphia pictures was noticed when
platoon of rough riders gallantly
swept up the slope of the hill with
bayonets fixed to their guns. In Cuba
the rough riders were armed with
cavalry carbines which had no bayonets.

be a case of the Boer against the rough
rider for some weeks in Illinois.

WILL COST $4,000.
Expense of Publishing Proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment.

George A. Clark secretary of state has
completed the preparations for the pub
LEGATION in the newspapers of the state.
of the proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition of the state, providing for an in
crease in the number of judges of the
supreme court.
This is the only amendment to be voted
for this year, and its publication, in ac-
cordance with law, will cost the state
5000. In a proposed amendment to the
constitution published under Governor
dwellings administration, $4,000 was ex-
pended. This was the suffrage amend
ment.
Mr.. Clark has prepared a list of the pa
pers in which this proposed amendment
will be published thirteen times, the aver
age compensation being $27.90 for which
vouchers. except the necessary. certifica-
ton, have been printed and will require
only a sworn statement as to the publica-
ton from the editors of newspapers. Then
the records for filing will be of the same
size and a convenience.
The publication is to be completed Oc-

There is much comment on the fact
that Mr.. Bryan let it be understood that
he would not run on a platform not
made in accordance with his views.
Yet Mr.. Bryan's course seems to be
fairer than that adopted by Mr.. Cleve-
land, who repudiated the platform of
1892 in his letter of acceptance. If he
lost any votes by so doing the loss was
not apparent, but later his supporters
called him a traitor to the party for
doing what he had made plain that he
would do and disregarding the platform
upon which he was elected. Mr.. Cleve-
land was abused for being true to his
word. If it had become necessary for
Mr.. Bryan to decline the Kansas City
nomination he would probably have
gone into political oblivion at once.

Voters will this year have an un-
usually long list of presidential candi-
dates for whom they may vote. The
nomination of Bryan and Stevenson at
Kansas City makes the ninth ticket to
be placed in the field. More candidates
are thus presented than ever before
The first ticket TO be named was that
of the Socialist Labor party at Roch-
ester, N. Y, where on January 81 Job
Hartman, of California, and Max S.
Hayes were nominated. On March 6
the Social Democrats, in convention at
Indianapolis. nominated Eugene "
Debs. of Indiana, and Job Hartman
Following these conventions came that
of the De Leon faction of the Socialists,
who nominated Joseph F. Maloney for.
president and Valentine RemmiI of
Pennsylvania for vice president. The
United Christian party met at Rock ISL
and. Ill, on May I, and nominated Rev.
Silas c. Swallow and John G. Woolley
Both of these gentlemen have since
declined to serve, and now Rev Francis
E Clark, the we'll known president of
the Society of Christian Endeavor, has
been selected as a candidate for presi-
dent, and Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon for
vice president The next ticket to be
placed in nomination was that of the
prohibition party, which met at Chi
cago, June %, and chose John G. Wool
ley Of Illinois and Henry B. Metcalf OF
Rhode Island. The Middle-of-the-R Road
Populists met at Cincinnati, May g. and
nominated Wharton Barker of PennsyI-
vania and Ignatius Donnelly of Min
nesota. On the same day the Populists
in convention at Sioux Falls nominated
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska
for president and Charles A Towne of
Minnesota for vice president. The Re-
publicans in Philadelphia, June 10, nom
mated William Mckinley of Ohio and
Theodore Roosevelt of New York The
Democratic convention. which met at
Kansas City, probably closed the list of
candidates that will appear this year.

ON TO PEKIN.
Uncle Sam Has Decided What
to Do in China.

Washington, July Ion to Pelxin'
is the policy adopted by the govern
ment. Tt is said that regardless of the
issues raised as to the authenticity of
the last Chinese note, or the accuracy
of its statement of fact, or the question
raised as to the responsibility for the
present situation our government at
least is determined not to relax its
efforts to reach Pekin, to get in touch
with Mr.. Conger if he is alive, to take
the necessary steps for the protection
of American interests and in fact TO
do all those things set out in Score
tary Hays note to the powers, includ-
sons responsible for the outrageous
events of the past six weeks.
Twenty-four hours consideration of
the Chinese note leaves the officials
here convinced that it marks the be-
ginning of a general effort on the part
of Chinese officials to relieve themselves
from responsibility for the treatment OF
the foreign ministers and the, fighting at
Tien Tsin. That, in itself, is regarded
as a hopeful sign of the approaching
collapse of the boxer movement and
the termination of the state of insur-
rection that exists in Pekin and Shan
Tung.
Victors do not apologize, hence the
exculpatory statement i. yesterday is
said to be pregnant with meaning.
The news from Tien Tsin of the I'M
lied forces goes to confirm the war de-
partment officials here in their original
conviction that two or three brigades
of American troops, veterans of the
Indian wars, of the Cuban campaign
and of the Philippine jungle hunts
could have achieved some valuable re-
suits by this time had they been at
Tien Tsin.
A question has arisen, in view of the
lack of a directing head at Tien Ts1n
as to what Col. Liscum, with his Ninth
regiment will do. His orders are broad
ly framed, and it is said at the war de-
partment that while he remains in COM
mand of his own men under all circum-
stances, he may cooperate to any ex-
tent with the allied forces, so that he is
of course, likely to willingly execute any
part of the campaign confided to him,
even though it involves his voluntary
subordination to a foreign senior off,

nounced from a good source that 10000
Russians are marching on Pekin from

CAN NOT HAVE THEM.
Patrol Horses viii Not Be Used in
Fire Department

NJ. Bundy, police patrol driver, is
happy this morning because Mayor
Drew said that the fire department
could not have the patrol team.
The fire department was short on
horses, and the accident a few days ago
in which they. lost two more caused
them to look with envious eyes on the
patrol team. They went to see the
mayor and fire committee about getting
the team and news of their desires came
to Bundy's ears. He became nervous
and men at the station say he was al
most unable to sleep, the fear of losing
his team being too much for him. Bun
dy has spent a good deal of time and
trouble in training his team and getting
it in first-class shape and it would not
be right to take it and give him instead
one of the old fire teams unless he is
willing said the mayor, and that set
tied it.
