Gen. Hardin, Anti-Goebel Democrat
Now Out For BRYAN.

Chicago, July 12.-Gen. P. Wat Har-
din of eKntucky, who was defeated in
the race for the governorship by Gov
ernor Bradley in 1896 and who opposed
Goebel for the Democratic nomination
in 1898, passed through Chicago on his
way to Minneapolis to visit his son.
General Hardin is still a prominent fig
ure in Kentucky politics, and believes
the Democrats will have no trouble in
carrying the state. General Hardin de-
clfned to be interviewed in regard to
state politics in Kentucky or the causes
that had occasioned the differences and
produced the dissensioEs in the Demo-
cratic party and the state, but said he
believed the party could and would be
united in the fight for the national
ticket.
Our state at heart is thoroughly
Democratic" he said. II believe as
much or more SO now than ever before
Neither faction can or will have any
cause for quarrel with the other over
either the national platform or ticket
Both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Steven son are
popular and favorites in our state, and
whatever differences there may be as
to the money plank Of the platform I
think in the hearts of the voters the
spirit of the platform in condemning
imperialism and expressing sympathy
with the Beers will determine their &C
ton to vote for the ticket

Commercial Club Offers Windmill
Company $500.

At a special meeting of the CONNER
cial club. held last night it was decided
to offer the Curry Windmill company
the sum of $500 to remove it's plant from
Manhattan to Topeka. The money will
be paid to the company 30 days after
the plant has been in operation in this
city
is the result of a proposition made by
the Curry people. The company is de-
sirous of removing to Topeka, and in
if $500 was guaranteed toward the ex-
pense Of tearing down the plant at
Manhattan and rebuilding it in To-
peka, the move would be made. It was
stated that the entire expense would be
considerable over this amount.
However, the members of the club de-
cided that the sum asked by the COM
pany was too large, and voted to offer
$500. The company manufactures three
kinds of windmills, and claims to do a
business OF $40. 900 per year

HONORS CONE THICK.
Dave Mulvane Called a Multi-Million-
aire by Kansas City Paper.

ARE by Kansas City Paper.
The Kansas City Times prints the fol-
lowing:
lionaire of Topeka, Kan, who was elect
ed Republican national committeeman
from Kansas at. the Philadelphia con-
vention, was in Kansas City last night
Mr. Mulvane declined to discuss politics
and was so modest about his own politi-
cal advancement that he blushed when
a friend, who had not seen him since the
convention, offered congratulations.
What do you think about the next
Republican national convention being
held in Kansas City," he was asked by
a reporter for the Times.
well it seems to me, ''he replied with
a SMILE you ought to give a fellow
chance to get a little bit used to his Of
flee before you begin interviewing him.
It's pretty early to discuss that propo-
sftion, but l guess that's the way KAN
sas City goes after what it wants.
Mr.. Mulvane is a remarkably good
dresser and while he was not "all lit up
as Bath House John of Chicago would
put it, his raiment attracted much at
tention on Union avenue as he Sauntered
down the street with a friend. The Null
vane family is regarded as the richest
in Kansas. 1t owns interests in the salt
mines at Hutchinson, in the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone company, in the
nois and Kansas, and a large amount of
real estate in Kansas, Kansas City, and
in other places. Mr.. Mulvane was not
chosen committeeman because he is
son of toll, but probably because he is
good fellow.

FEEDING FOR HEALTH.
Directions by a Food Expert.

"A complete change in food makes a
complete change in body. Therefore if
you are ailing in anyway, the surest
road back to health is to change your
diet. Try the following breakfast for
ten days and mark the result:
Two soft boiled eggs. Of you have
weak stomach boil the eggs as follows:
Put two eggs into a pint tin cup of boil
ing water, cover, and set off the stove.
Take out in nine minutes; the whites
will be the consistency of cream and
partly digested. Don't change the direc-
tions in any particularly Some fruit
cooked or raw, cooked preferred, slice
of toast, a little butter. four heaping
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts with some
cream, a cup Of properly boiled Postum
Food Coffee.
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is full

tory, and both that and the Postum
Coffee have the diataSe Chat which di-
gests the starchy part) developed in the
manufacture. Both the food and the
coffee. therefore, are predigested and
assist, in natural way. to digest the
balance of the food Lunch at noon, the
same.
For dinner in the evening use meat
and one or two vegetables. Leave out
the fancy desserts Never over-eat. Bet
ter a little less than too much.
If you can use health as a. means to
gain success in business or in profess
sion, it is well worth the time and at
tention required to arrange your diet to
accomplish the result.

GERMANS BOLT.
Many Of Them in Cleveland Refuse to
Support Mckinley.

Chicago, July ia special to the
Record fom Cleveland, O., says:
The intensity of feeling of opposition
to imperialism and militarism seems to
be gaining among the German residents
of this city, usually regarded as of
strongly Republican tendencies. Many
of the leading German-AmericanS of
this city have already announced that
they would support the Democratic
ticket. Ward campaign clubs will be
organized where the German vote is
heaviest and an effort made to solidify
the German vote against Mckinley
The Eleventh Ward Bryan club has
been organized with a membership of
ITO. Peter H. Paulus, formerly a Re
publican, is president of the club. The
German vote of the county is estimated
at about 10000.

RICHARDSON TESTIFIES.
Kansas Man a Witness in the Jester
Cass.

CaSS.
st. Louis, Mo, July IA special to
the Post-Dispatch from New London,
Mo-, says:
Charles Hazelhurst, who accompanied
Gilbert Gates from ST. Charles, ILL.,, in
1871, to Kansas, was a witness today in
the trial of Alexander Jester. He
described the articles found in the pos
session of Alexander Jester, when ar
rested at Wichita, Kan, as the same
that Gilbert Gates had when he left his
(Hazelhurst's) home to return to Illi-
nois. Mr.. HaZelhurst has been on the
stand since yesterday afternoon and
witnesses for the state until the defense
stated that they admitted Jester had
some Of Gates clothing, also his watch,
gun, dog, etc, but that they were in
cluded in the outfit Jester purchased
from the young man when they sep
arated near Middle Grove, Mo.
A. A. Gates, father of the missing
man, while talking to the Post-Dispatch
correspondent before court opened this
morning, made this rather startling
statement:
81 could have bought the case up
five years ago. but did not want to do
so. A certain man wanted to do it, but
I would not consent
Mr.. Gates said that when Mrs. Street
wrote that letter telling the public of
the crime of her brother nothing would
do John w. Gates but the prosecution
of Alexander Jester for the murder of
his brother. Mr.. Gates added:
II believe I have suffered more in this
case than Alexander JESTER"
A. c.. Richardson, recording clerk of
the office of the secretary of state of
Kansas, was put on the stand to testify
as to the transcript taken from the
the preliminary trial in Wichita, Kan,
in 1871

PRAISE FOR AMERICANS.
British Consul Commends Admins
tration in Cuba.

London, July 1.-THE report of the
British consul in Cuba for 1899, says:
''While the first year of American rule
disappointed Americans as well as Gu
bans and failed to realize expectations
in the way of a great revival Of trade
and needed public works, it is only COM
mon justice to the United States OFF,
Gals in Cuba to say that no response
bility for the non-fulillment of these
expectations attaches to them. So far
as their authority allowed they have
worked honestly and in good faith for
what they conceived to be the best in
terests of the island. The one thing that
was not in their power to give was the
thing Cuba needed the most-the estab-
lishment of permanent form of gov
eminent"
Generals Brooke. Ludlow and Fitzhugh
Lee, in which they point out that until
a settled government is established, cap
ital. so necessary to the economic re-
construction of Cuba, will continue to
hold aloOf, and says:
In the interest of all the countries
commercially related with Cuba, rs wefl
as of Cuba herself it is to be hoped
that the present uncertainty will be
ended before the resulting evils assume
an acute phase.
Referring to the complications and
hopeless confusion arising from the use
value of which daily fiuctuates," the
consul says:
1T is incredible that such a system
should actually be in use today in a
civilized country controlled by the gov
eminent of so eminently practical peo-
pie as the Americans
Continuing, the consul pays a tribute
to the sanitary work of the United
States authorities resulting in a re-
markable dimfnution of mortality from
yellow fever and advises the establish
ment of direct steamship communica-
ton between Great Britain and the ISL
and in spite of previous failures in this
direction.
In conclusion the consul remarks:
1.-THE losses in Cuba during the insur-
rection and war were more serious than
generally thought and without the aid
of foreign capital the rehabilitation of
the industries will be a very lengthy, if
not impossible task
