Papa Could Not Explain


"Say, papa, why do so many Ger
mans come to this country?~
SIT is because of u glorious Re-
publican institutions, my son. The
poor people there are ground down
by an enormous tax of s1S0.0o0,o0 0 TO
sustain a useless standing army, while
here we depend upon our citizen sol
diery in times of trouble. We are the
free"
"But say, papa, I was just reading
in the Kansas City Journal that the
war appropriation In this country last
year was over sa50, 900, 900. That Is
almost double the tax that grinds
down the poor Germans. Don't

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
FYFNTFMYFNHNNYENNYYNH
Bankers Hold Big Convention.

The annual convention of the Kan
sas Bankers association at Abilene
was largely attended and much profit
derived from it. Lieut. Col Ed. c..
Little delivered the address of well
come. Among the speakers was Gov.
Stanley, who complimented the bank
ers on their splendid business success
and lauded the states prosperity.
Scott Hopkins, of Horton, talked on
trusts He declared for legislation
by the states that shall give publicity
to the trusts management and said
the alternative was either control by
the people or socialism. C. Q. Chan
dler, of Medicine Lodge, led the dis
cussion on estate funds and how to
handle them" He advocates a distri-
button of the surplus funds in the
state treasury among the banks that
care to bid for the money, putting up
county and city bonds to secure the
state, and opposed placing the funds
in the Topeka banks. A resolution
was adopted favoring uniform bank
ing laws. a committee was appointed
to take charge of Seattle paper ex-
change"

THEY PROVE TRBAcBRRoUs.
Native Filipino Presidents Installed by
Americans Have Been Making Regular
Reports TO AguInaIdo-

Manila, June s.-Papers show that
nearly all the presidents installed by
the Americans in Gen. Young's terri
tory are treacherous and have been
making regular reports to Aguinaldo
as to the disposition and movement
of the American troops and they have
been collecting and forwarding taxes
to him. The captured papers also
prove the disloyalty of the native tel
egraph operators whom the Americans
retained on the Cayagan Valley line.
When Tirona surrenderd the Filipino
forces in that section, these operators
professed loyalty and took the oath
of allegiance. But it is now shown
that they have been sending Aguinal-
do copies of important kilograms ex-
changed between the American Off
Gals. Letters were also found relating
to large contributions forwarded to
Aguinaldo from Spanish and other
foreign business men.

GOV. STEPHENS ANNOYED.
Says He Is Receiving Letters from st. Louis
Threatening Him IT He Does Not
Call Out Militia.

Jefferson City, Mo-, June S.-Gov.
Stephens is annoyed by letters re-
ceived from ST. Louis threatening
him if he does not call out the militia
to suppress street car strike riots and
others threatening him if he does call
out the militia. This morning he re-
ceived a card saying: IF you do not
call out the state militia in a few
days you will be shot" Gov. Stephens
says he has not had the support of the
press and citizens of ST. Louis in his
efforts to preserve order and that
these letters are the natural result
of the constant attacks of the news
papers and others.

BLOWS FEATHERS OFF FOWLS.
clearinghouse EmPIOye at Kansas City In-
vents Machine That Takes PIumage
from Chickens in Short Order.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 7.-One OF
the employees in a local packing-house
has invented a device for plucking
the feathers from the carcasses of
chickens that is an improvement over
the old way of picking them by hand.
The chickens are treated much in the
way that wheat is rid of its chaf.
There is a receptacle in which the
fowl is placed after being killed, and
into this is turned several cross-cur-
rents of air from electrical fans re-
volving at the rate of 5000 revolutions
per minute. In the twinkling of an
eye the bird is stripped of its feathers
even to the tiniest particle of down.

Kansas AIS Favorlte child.

One CT the events of the coming
presidential campaign in Kansas, says
the Kansas City Star, will be the APP
pearance of Hon. Ga1usha Aaron Grow,
of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Grow in 1851 en-
tered the house of representatives
where he remained for IL years. First
a free soil democrat and later a re-
publican, Mr.. Grow walked with Kan
sas every step of the way from her adj
mission as territory to her entrance
into the union as state. He had to
do with all the measures and all the
men of the free state side of the ques-
ton in the early days. Mr.. Grow re-
entered congress as member at large
in 1894. At " years of age he will
revisit political fields in which he
sowed As years ago to find an answer
to the question ''What shall the har-
vest be?''

The DISTURBANCE IN CHINA
ing Alarmed = Developments Closely
Watched by the United States.

Washington, June THE friends u
the American missionaries in the dis.
turbed zone in China are becoming
alarmed and the state department is
beginning to feel the pressure of their
efforts to adopt an aggressive policy,
Yesterday inquiries were made as to
the reason for the passive attitude OF
the United States naval forces in
Chinese waters while the Russians
are reported to have promptly sent
out military expeditions from Pekin
for the rescue of Russian, French and
Belgian subjects whose safety was
jeopardfzed. 1t was argued that the
United States marines should have
been likewise dispatched to the as.
sistance of the American missionaries
at Pao-Ting-Fu. Meanwhile the de.
velopments are being closely watched
and if the next phase should be still
worse it is probable that in addition
to the Helena at least one more war.
ship, with full battalion of marines,
will be ordered up the Pei-Ho river to
Tien Tsin. So far the proposition to
call upon Macarthur for troops to
make up a landing party has not been
preached to the war department and
it is not expected that such a steF
will be taken, save as a last resort,
for it is felt that it would mark an
ENHANCEMENT of the United States
in the European designs respecting
China from which it would be diff
cult or impossible to secure release.

Have No Standing in Court.

Of the 5000 or more corporations
that have been organized under the
laws of Kansas, less than 1000 are re-
ported alive and less than 1,7OO have
made any report whatever. Of the
$500 that are not reported some are
no doubt dead, but many are con-
Germs that are very much alive and are
transacting business daily. On ac-
count of their failure to report to the
secretary of state for the year ending
June 30, 1900, not one of these delin-
quents may maintain an action in
court. They may be overrun with lit
igation, but are powerless to put in
a defense. This is the law and it is
the only penalty provided.

A MOVABLE CAPITAL.
Boer Seat Of Governments Now In q RAM

Full OF Fight.

London, June S.-The executive ofz
fees of the Transvaal government are
in railway car, which is shunted On
a switch at Machadorp station. Pres
ident Kruger caused the interior OF
the coach to be reconstructed some
time ago with view to contingencies
that have now arrived. A correspond
ent OF the Daily Express, who went
from Lorenzo Marques to see Presi-
dent Kruger, was received yesterday
The president sat smoking a long
pipe. He looked worried, but his
bearing was quiet and determined.
He did not make the least objection to
being interviewed. The correspond
ent was equipped for the interview
by cables from London. YES" said
President Kruger, lit is quite true
that the British have occupied Pre-
toria. This, however, does not end
the war. The burghers are fully de-
termined to fight to the last. They
will never surrender so long as 500
armed men remain in the country. I
feel deeply encouraged by the fine
work Steyn and DeWet are doing in
the Free State"
Kruger Declines American Land.
New York, Sune S.-A QlSpaGch
from Lourenzo Marques says: In
answer to a telegraph inquiry to
President Kruger informing him of
the offer of 100 acres of land in Amer
lea to each burgher the president
replies: 1--WE thank you for this gen
erous offer of land, but the burghers
are determined to fight for their own
land and independence to the bitter
end"
Kruger Asks Place for Refuge.
London, June S.-The Birmingham
Post, organ of Joseph Chamberlain,
says it hears from an official source
at The Hague that a serious question
concerning President Kruger is now
before the Netherlands ministry. The
paper adds that the president had de-
cided to seek refuge on board the
Dutch cruiser Friesland, now off Lou
reno Marques.

Disheartening in the South African
Situation.

Lacrosse, Wis, June S.-The party
Of Boer ENJOYS passed through this
city this morning, enroute for st.

them at the depot. Mr.. Fischer said:
We have received more encouragem
from American people than we expected
and we had expected great deal. too.
There is nothing at all disheartening in
the situation in South Africa. Simply
because Pretoria has been taken is no
sign the war will soon end. We are not
conquered by any means and the English
can expect a hard fight yet.
