WANT TO GO TO CHINA.
Many Applicants For Enlistment in
the Marines.

New York, July 1.-THE United
States marine corps recruiting officer
in this city has been crowded with APP
pncantS ever since the marines took
such a prominent part in Admiral Sey-
mOur'S unsuccessful advance on Pekin.
Most of them, however, insist on a
promises of service in China, and go
away when told that no particular sta
ton can be promised. At the army re-
cruiting office many men offer to en-
list if they can be assigned to regi-
nents which are expected to be trans
ferred to the far east
The trouble in China is, however,
having little effect on enlistmentS in the
navy, according to the officers in charge
of recruiting here Applicants for naval
service do not seem so thirsty for war,
and few recruits for Chinese service
are made Lieut.. R. L. Russell, who
is in charge of the navy recruiting Of
flee, said:
1--WE have seen only two or three men
at this office whose desire to enter the
navy depended on their being assigned
to the Chinese station. Perhaps it IS
because they realize that we could do
nothing with such reuests. We are
having a great rush of good men just
at present and enliStmentS at this Of
fee alone average Is a day. Most of
them are landsmen who enter the navy
at SIS a month. We are also getting
number of machinists and second-class
electricians. These men realize that the
large number of new ships which will
be put in commission during the next
few years will make their chances of
advancement to petty offices very like
ly The increased and improved navy
also assures them a fine ship for sea
service.
Il believe that there are more men
going into the navy now than at any
time since the patriotic stampede
which Immediately followed the naval
victories which brought the Spanish
war to close. The service cannot be-
come too popular, however, and we will
need every man we can get to fill the
new ships properly"

SHORT WEIGHT ICE.
Peoples Ice Company in Trouble
With State Officers.

The Peoples Ice company, better
known as the trust" under a contract
with the executive council has been,
with $50 pounds of ice daily. John Dud-
ley, under authority from the executive
council, weighed the ice yesterday
morning. There were 367 pounds deliv-
cred and charged up as 450.
The council held a meeting later in
the day to consider the bids for the
contract for the ensuing six months, the
contract with the Peoples Ice company
having expired June 80.
The Peoples and the Arctic, the latter
being Charles VOLTS enterprise, bid the
same, 25 cents per 100. Under ordinary
circumstances the contract with the
trust company would have been renew
ed but the members of the council dis
pleased at the short weight, gave the
contract for the next six months to the
Arctic.
The Peoples, however, was awarded
the contract for the period from Janu-
airy l to June 80, next year.
The other bid, submitted by Winslow
& Raney, was 2715 cents per 100 pounds.
The Peoples company has been fur
nishing the state house with ice at 20
cents per hundred, the contract calling
for 450 pounds daily. The council pro-
ceedS upon the theory that 375 pounds,
according to the weights taken yester-
day, is sufficient to supply the capitol
and the new contract will call for that
amount daily. The company, under
the new contract. raised the price five
cents per 100 but the amount to be de-
livered is cut down IS pounds.

than the tradesmen. They were attacked
first because they are the most exposed,
many of them being in places far re-
moved from the bulk of Christian in
habitants. The missionaries have always
tried to act in accordance with the Chi
nese laws and customs and have been
treated courteous1y by the authorities"
In regard to the best way of settling
the Chinese question Mr.. Daniels said:
THE American board is, think, quite
in harmony with the United States gov
eminent in the position which has been
taken against the breaking up of the
empire. We favor the open door policy.
My theory concerning this outbreak is
that it is simply incident to the reform
movement which was started by the
emperor.
"One of our missionaries sent US an
order for $50 books, including the Bible
and many commentaries, and those
books went into the imperial household.
OF course we do not know that they
were read by the emperor, but they pro-
badly would never have entered the
household without his consent.
AT present it is the business of the
powers to create order. That done many
things will be explained and there will
be new conditions to face"

COMPLETE THE UNION.
Federation of Commercial Clubs to Be
Perfected.

A meeting of the federation of the
commercial clubs of Kansas has been
set for July 16 at the Commercial club
rooms in this city.
The object of this meeting is the per-
lection of the organization of the Fed
Grated Commercial Clubs of Kansas.
Each club is requested to elect a vice
president and delegates to attend this
meeting. Each commercial club will
be allowed one vice president and a del
egate for every fifty members or frac-
ton thereof.
BY uniting in a working organization
the commercial and business clubs may
do a great deal of good for the state
by systematic and persistent adver-
tising. 1t IS the object of the Fed
Grated Commercial Clubs of Kansas
to bring those interested in the prog
ress of the state together and plan ways
and means whereby Kansas may be
pushed to the front.
Only four commercial clubs have sig
nified their intention of sending dele
gates. They are Paola, Wichita, juno
ton City and Pleasanton.

=" COMMONLY USED DRUG"
DIR. Wood Refers to Coffee.

Dr. Jas Wood, of Philadelphia, speak
ing of the effect of coffee, says: These
symptoms bear silent but impressive
witness to the terrible injury which is
being wrought by this commonly used
drug"
If health is worth anything. it is worth
looking after carefully. Any person
who drinks coffee and has any sort of
ailment that can be traced back,
through even very long line of dis
turbances, to the nervous system, may
depend upon 1t that coffee is the cause
of the difficulty.
The drug contained in coffee has a
direct action upon the nerves, differing
in different people The effect may
show in one person in the shape of dys-
pepsia, in another person in weak eyes,
in another, palpitation of the heart.
In another, kidney or bowel trouble, in
another, bad complexion or eruptions on
the skin, in another, a general feeling
of laSSitude and weakness at times. All
of these and a long list of other dis
turbances come directly from a dis
turbed nervous system, where the nerve
matter, the delicate gray substance
that is contained in the nerve centers
and in the brain-has been destroyed,
to an extent, and not replaced from the
food.
That is the exact work of coffee with
highly organized people. Such people
feel the loss of coffee for time, unless
something is given to take it's place.
This is the mission of Postum Food
Coffee; it not only furnishes, when
properly made, a delicate coffee flavor
in itself, but carries with it the phos-
plate of potash and other elements re-
quired by Nature to rebuild the nervous
system and reconstruct the tearing
down work that has been going on from
the use of drug coffee" eve use the
word drug coffee because all regular
coffee is in reality q drug, and it's con-
tinued use will. in ninety cases out of
hundred, bring on trouble of some
kind)
Postum Food Coffee is sold by all
4rHt-class grocers.

American Farmer to Blame as Much

ANCIENT CRETAN PALACE.

IAthens Cor. of the London MALL
1t has always been kneWn that there
were valuable archaeological remains in
Crete, but as long as the island was I'M
der Turkish rule it had never been pos
Sible to get permission to excaVate.
Immediately, however, the island was
released from Turkish rule the various
archaeological schools approached the
Cretan government for permission, and
the English school has been one of the
first in the field.
Excavations were begun last month
by Arthur Evans, representing the Gre
tan Exploration fund, and d. G. Hog
arth, the director of the British School
at Athens, on the site of the ancient
CnossuS. It was here that King MinoS
built the Labyrinth as a prison for the
Minotaur, the monster ultimately slain
by Theseus.
Here Mr. Evans laid bare a large
period which may be dated from 1900 to
1000 B. G. The plan and contents of the
building show it to have been a palace
like those which Schliemann discovered
at Mycenae and Tiryus.
In one chamber of the palace there
have been found a great quantity of
clay tablets bearing inscriptions in the
writing much older than the Greek al
phabet.
Another find of very great interest is
a we'll preserved freSco painting in one
of the corridors of the palace, represent
ing a girl in the usual Mycenaean cos
tune holding a slender vase in her
hands. The drawing is good, and the
fore the flying fish fresco found by
British excavators in the island of Me-
los, which was hitherto the finest known
example of Mycenaean wall painting.
