into our glasses. One or two drinks had
been disposed of, when Dave seemed to
recollect the I.eavenworth crowd.
Here, you fellows, he called,
haven't you warmed chairs about long
enough? This place isn't open for the
purpose of accommodating tired people.
Walk up, gentlemen, and show US the

1.-THE Leavenworth crowd rose as one
man and ordered a round of drinks.
" Now you said Dave to me, treat
the delegation from LeavenWorth.' This
sort of thing was kept up till long after
midnight.
Those Leavenworth fellows didn't
know where they got off at any stage
of the game. But they began to warm
up as things progressed. Every little
while Dave would announce, This ones

cash register, and when the place closed
there was more money in the till than
there had been for many a day.
LAS Dave took off his apron the
Leavenworth contractor sided up to
him and said he would like to talk
privately with him for a second. They
stepped to one side, and the Leaven-

" I've got a joint similar to this over
in Leavenworth, and If your boss ever

JAPANESE OYSTERS
To Be Examined With a View to In
PRODUCTION Here.

New York, June 26.-Professor Bash
ford Dean, of department of zoology OF
Columbia university, accompanied by
his wife, has started to spend year in
Asia, chiefly in Japan, where he will be
the guest of the Imperial university at
Toxic, and of the Japanese commission
of fisheries. His researches are to deal
with the development of number of
fishes, which can best be obtained near
Misaki, where the geological station of
the Imperial university it situated.
1t is understood that DR.. Dean pur-
poses also, to make a careful examina-
ton of the oyster industry of Japan in
the interests of the United States com
mission fisheries, of which he has been
appointed the biologist. The commits
sion hopes that an examination of the
various species of Japanese oyters I'M
der their natural conditions will suggest
whether they may be fitted for introduc-
ton on the Pacific coast of North Amer
lea. There is a possibility too, that
some of the Japanese cultural methods
may also be introduced.

TO Raise Chinese Poll Tax.

ottawa, Ont, June 26.-In the house
of commons last night a bill was report
ed raising the poll tax on the Chinese
from $50 to 500 and also providing that
foreign countries could not send to Can
ada more immigrants than the regula-
lions of these countries provided. This
last provision is aimed at restricting
Japanese immigration. Very recently
the Japanese government made regula-
lions not to permit more than II inmi-
grants to leave there in one month for
Canada and only for the United States.
Canada has now made provision to see
that no more than II will land. British
Columbia is making strong protest
against Oriental immigration

Chicago. June 25.-The Times-Herald
says:
Governor Theodore Roosevelt will
leave New York City next Friday for
Chicago, arriving in this city Saturday
and leaving the same night for Okla
honla City, where he will attend the re-
union of his old regiment, the Rough

his soldier comrades again and be well
coined by them. On arriving in Chicago
he will become the guest of Paul Nor
ton, second vice president of the Santa
Fe, in whose car he will make the
journey to Oklahoma
A year ago when Governor Roosevelt
attended the Rough Riders reunion at
Las Vegas, Mr.. Morton placed his pri-
vate car at his service and the same
was accepted. On the homeward jour
ney from Las Vegas Mr.. Morton prof
fered the car for use again this year
and the governor accepted the tender.
His presence in Chicago is therefore
in keeping with his promise in June
1899 Mr.. Morton said yesterday: Il
have a telegram from Governor Roose-
welt in which he says he is certainly
going to Oklahoma City but desires it
thoroughly understood that he is not
making a political trip

STORY ON DAVE MULvANE.
Chicago Paper Tells How he Played
the " Good Fellow

The following story about Dave Null
vane appeared in the Chicago Inter
Ocean:
A Kansas man happened into the bar
room of the Great Northern hotel last
Tuesday morning, where he met an ex-
kansan drinking a solitary cocktail.
Hello, there!" said the newcomer as
he caught sight of his old friend. Aren't
you a little early2"
"Well, rather" admitted the ex-Kan-
san. Just read in a morning paper
that Dave Mulvane has been appointed
national committeeman for the Repub-
hcan party in Kansas down in Phil
adelphia, and I'm celebrating. You
know Dave, of course? Have some
thing with me2"
While the drinks were being mixed
the two friends began discussing the
merits of the new Kansas leader, and
the ex-Kansan suddenly laughed and
said:
Did you ever hear how Dave tended
bar one night down in Wichita? 1t
happened not long after he came back
to Kansas from college. L was in the
contracting business, and there were
some jobs being let in Wichita and
had gone down to figure on them This
was away back in the middle 'S0S- II
so happened that l had to stop over in
Wichita over sunday, and number OF
the boys, including Dave, came down
from Topeka to help pass the time. We
all assembled in the back part of a
drug store, which was the popular re-
sort of the town. and Dave took it into
his head that he would like to play bar
keeper for a while.
See here he said to the man be-
hind the bar, let me show you how to
tend bar
THE barkeeper grinned and handed
his apron over to Dave, who put 1t on
washed a few glasses, mOpped off the
bar. and waited for trade.

the little apartment, and in the mean
time a contractor from LeaVenWOrtE
came in with some friends. He didn't
know any of our crowd and stood will

Nobody offered to buy, so Dave called
over to US that it was about time lit

that he was to be here but as soon as
he entered the hall the boys recognized
him.
Colonel Hogeland brought with him a
series of pictures with which he illus
trated his lecture. At the conclusion
of his talk he asked how many could

CROKER AND MURPHY
VIII Spend Two Days Together
Before Leaving for Kan
sas City.

New York, June 26.-Richard Croker
will spend two days at Senator Murphy's
home in Long Branch before their trip
to Kansas City begins. The Tammany
leaders physician has advised him to
battle his injured leg in salt water but
he placed no injunction upon his patient
to abstain from talking politics while
the bathing is in progress and politics
will doubtless play an important part
in the Long Branch visit. By the time
the western trip begins Mr.. Croker
hopes to have a plan under way for
coalition of the Tammany and Murphy
forces so that when Kansas City is
reached definite campaign may be an
nounced.
Mr.. Croker would not say last night
what action he and Senator Murphy had
agreed upon but one of his friends ad-
mitted that he was out for sixteen to
one
The two leaders will start from this
city Friday. With them will go Mr..
Crolzer's physician, Dr.. John F. Cosby,
and his friend, Andrew Freedman. An
other New York Democrat will be of the
party. Congressman Sulzer will go
west Wednesday.
Mr.. Croker will go down to Tammany
hall this afternoon and have a talk with
the district leaders. This talk, it is
said, will be for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the final details of the Kansas

| nificance, unless one of the vice presi-
Dental booms that are in process of in
cubation should be brought up.
There are five of these booms and
Tammany men generally are wondering
which will receive the most favor from
Mr.. Croker. The most prominent is that
of Congressman Sulzer who has received
assurance of support from delegations
from several other states. Elliott Dan
forth and DR.. John H. Gardner are said
to be ready to try for the second place.
Congressman George B. McCleIand is
another man with a boom and Borough
President Coogan is another. So far Mr.
| Croker has refused to indorse any OF
these booms-
Senator Murphy has within the last
two or three days developed some
strength as a vice presidential posi-
bility, but he disclaims the possession
of a boom and says that if he gets the
nomination he will accept it, though he
| does not want it.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
A Row Over Quarantine Regulation
in Colorado.

Denver, June Pa clash between
Governor Thomas and DR.. George E.
Tyler, secretary of the state board of
health, is imminent as a result of the
correspondence concerning the state
quarantine against Japanese and Chi
Japanese diplomatic legation at Wash
ington.
Governor Thomas is inclined to think
there is no necessity for maintaining the
quarantine and DR.. Tyler, who is acting
on his own authority in the matter in
sists that he will not raise the quaran-
tine. DR.. Tyler thinks the federal meas
ures in connection with the quarantine
at San Francisco were raised for politl-
cal reasons and is therefore apparently
disposed to treat Japan's demand for ar
explanation lightly. Governor Thomas,
who has been called upon by Secretary
Hay to explain has insisted upon the
state board of health making a detailed
report to him.

DRoPsY FROM COFFEE.
People Beginning to Learn About the
Drug.

Coffee treated me so badly that I
want to tell people about it, and if you
can use my letter, I will be glad. I am
not a very good scholar, but want to
write a few lines, and if I don't write a
good letter, am at least honest in my
statements.
ct am As years old and drank coffee
all my life, up until New Years. I have
felt bad for years and did not know
what allied me. I thought I had the
dropsy and heart disease. Sometimes 1
would have to press my hand against
my heart, would be in such pain and I
got so 1 could hardly do my work. My
head would feel heavy and dizzy, and
many a time 7 have got so blind 1
would just have to drop down or else
would have fallen.
81 felt bad all over My feet would
swell and hurt me and I am confident
if I had continued drinking coffee I
wouldn't have been able by this time to
do anything a friend of mine asked
me to try Postum Food Coffee and stop
drinking regular coffee. I tried the Pos
hold of the right way to make it. Ny
heart disease and dropsy disappeared
and I got entirely well.
seThere is much in making it. That
is. it has to be boiled longer than or
binary coffee, but when I got it made
good, it was fine and now 1 wouldn'
have coffee in my house at all. I am
sure the Postum Food Coffee saved my
life, and am perfectly well. Oh how
much I would like to see Postum in
every home 1 can't praise it enough
I send you here the names of about
twenty people that have been helped by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee Then follows a list OF
names and addresses.) Hoping this will
be of benefit to some one, 1 remain.
