Two of the Largest and Most
Important
Army Posts In the United States
Much Money Will be Spent
ON Both of Them.

New York, July g. The New York
Tribune p"ints this dispatch from
Washington: "The tourof inspection
which Secretary Root expects to make
early next week for the examination OF
the military posts at Fort Leaven-
worth, Fort Riley and Jefferson bar
racks is in furtherance Of one OF his
most noble plans for the betterment of
the American army system. Fort
Leaveuworth and Fort Riley are with
in a few miles of the Junction of twenty
railways, including all the great lines
of communication of the continent
and it is contended that they shall
hereafter be improved and constituted
the chief rendezvous of troops, while
at Jefferson barracks there will he

supply depot of the United States.
"At Fort Riley and Fort Leaven-
worth are the United States cavalry
and infantry schools for the army,
and it is now proposed to materially
extend their scope by assigning to
them a greater number OF officers for
Instruction and much larger force of
men for practical campaigning. They
are to be made practical post-grad-

their prize graduates will be promoted

ABOUT HON ESTEADERS
Not Much Attention Paid to the New
Attempt to Enjoin the Opening

Washington. July S-The officials o
the interior department today declined
TO discuss the announcement OF the
proposed suit to be instituted to re-
strain the land offices IN Oklahoma
from proceeding with their part of the
work in opening new reservations.
1t is evident. however, that no great
Importance is attached TO the action OF
Mr.. Springer's representative. The
opinion prevails here in unofficial
circles that the ground of the pro-
posed suit has been pretty thoroughly
gone over in the injunction suit and
appeal at this end ofthellne, and that
the courts of Oklohoma may refuse TO
entertain the suit unless radically
different causes are set forth from
these which figured in the controversy
| here.
Commissioner Hermann, OF the gen.
eral land office. has prepared a short
and concise catechism in the shape ola
circular which gives the replies of the
department to eight questions relative
to persons who are not qualified to
make homestead entry in the lands
soon to be opened. The list of in
eligibles which in brief contains valu'
able information, is as follows:
First-Any person who has an eN'
listing homestead entry or who, after
June &, 1900, abandoned or re-
linquished such an entry.
Second-A married woman, unless
she has Deen deserted or abandoned
by her husband.
Third One not citizen of tho
United States and who has not de
clared his intention TO become such.
Fourth-Any one under twenty-on,
years of age, not the head of a family
unless he served in the army or nav!
of the United States for not less thar
fourteen days in actual war
Fifth-Any one who Is the proprie
tor of more than 100 acres of land II
any state or territory.
Sizth--One who has perfected it'll
to Il homestead OF 100 acres by proc
of residence and cultivation for iiv
years.
Seventh-One who has perfected
title to homestead of 100 acres unde
section 2, act OF June IL, 1889.
Eighth-One who is in the situation
where the title acquired and now bein
) acquired by him under the public Ian
laws in pursuance OF entries made

New York, July 81 wish, - wrote
"A London flour merchant to II New
York correspondent that someone
would 60 out to Kansas and hang
Prof. Snow: he announced that the
wheat crop would be destroyed by in
sects and now Kansas has an immense
crop"
1t seems that the bulletins warning
farmers to watch for wheat louise and
for Hessian fly reached England in the
shape of stories that Kansas wouldn't
have wheat enough for seed. From
this announcement the LOndOner
figured that the worlds crop would be
100 million bushels less than il really
was when the Kansas wheat crop was
harvested. The Kansas crops weigh
ing from siXty-one to slXty'three
pounds to the bnshel 9nd is heavier
than the Kansas people figured thai it
would be. The London spectators
have bought wheat and flour heavily,
expecting a rise in price, but Kansas

no Kansan knows.
Kansas millers are attempting this
year to accomplish something they
have needed for years. The associa-
ton known as the Kansas Mill and
Export Company which will file its
charter at Topeka this afternoon or
tomorrow will attempt to establish
grades of Kansas flour. In the mar
kets of the world the mills of Mime
sofa have their established grades
of flour. A buyer who purchases
certain grade of Minnesota
flour knows exactly what he is getting
no matter if he never heard OF the mil
before. So with other states that
make flour for export, each has it,
grades and the market Is educated t.
understand them.
Kansas has no state grade OF flour
A New York buyer knows what he is
getting when he buys a certain grade
from the Rex mills in Argentine, from
Chris Hoffman at Enterprise, from
the Topeka Milling company or from
the Brinkmans at Great Bend, bu
these grades are not uniform and the
thousand little mills in the smaller
towns have no uniformity OF grades
Hence their flour, beyond the limited
territory in which it is known. is with

WHEAT is ON FIRE
A Careless Smoker Starts Blaze
Which Sweeps Many Miles


Which Sweeps Many Miles
Great Bend, Kansas, July Sire
which started ten miles northwest of
Great Bend this afternoon burned
bout $1,000 acres of wheat, worth
nearly Sl50, 600 several thousand
acres of range and some small
buildings.
The fire was started by a man riding
along the highway in "A buggy. He
was seen lighting a cigar and the
thrown away match started the blaze.
The wind was blowing "a gale from
the southwest, and as no rain has
fallen in that vicinity for three weeks,
everything was as dry as finder.
I Nearly every acre is in wheat, cut
with headers. which leaves most of the
straw standing as stubble, The few
pastures burn as readily as stubble.
The roads were no barrier and the
burning straw, carried high in the air
by the fierce wind, FASTENED the speed
of the flames, which travelled faster
than the lleetest horse.
The ground is dry and hard and
blowing fire guards did no good, save
to narrow the fire line. Back fires
were started ahead to save buildings,
and these fires in turn were added to
the huge conilagration.
/ Four miles from the place of the be-
ginning of the fire was the Missouri
Pacific railway and Blood creek.
Both were jumped by the fire Mt a point
three miles west of Hoisington. AT
the creek the fire had widened to over
two miles. On toward the Smoky
Hill river divide rushed the flames be.
fore the fierce wind.
Toward night the wind lulled and
back firing became more successful
and, little by little, as the evening
wore away, the farmers were able to
limit and finally to put out the fire.
No loss of life or of stock is yet
reported. The loss of buildings will
be comparatively small, The area OF
wheat destroyed isroughly established
at ID, 900 acres that would average
close to twenty bushels an acre or a
total of about 800, 600 bushels. Nearly
all was in the stack but a few farmers
had some standing wheat. Insurance
is light, probably not so much as one
fifth was insured in the stack.
Fortunately, nearly every farmer il
out OF debt and has money besides
that lessons the degree of the calamity
and, then, burning the stubble clear
is said to kill the Hessian lly
ANOTHER BIG FIRE.
Ellis, Kansas, July Slightly stacks
of wheat were destroyed this afternoon
by prairie fire that originated south
east of Hays, and burned to the UnioI
Pacific railroad, some three or foul
miles north. II is said that the fir,
was accidentally started by persons il
wagon throwing out match o.
cigar. The strong south wind mad
it impossible to get the fire under con
troll.

THE GAMING INSTINCT.
Feeds Upon the satisfaction Gained
Through Acquiring Money and
Pleasure without Labor.

We are now, perhaps, in "A position
to understand how gambling comes
to exist and why it is so fascinating.
says the American journal of Soci-
ology. IL is II means of keeping up
the conflict interest and of securing
all the pleasure pain sensations of
conflict activity with little effort and
no drudgery; and, incidentally or
habitually, it may be a means Of Sc
curing moncy-that is. potential sat
isfactions of all possible kinds.
through the gains accruiug to the
winner. In gambling the risk is i'm
minent, the attention strained, the
emotions strong; and even where the
element of skill is removed entirely
and the decision left TO chance, a.
emotional reaction analogous to the
feeling in the genuine conflict is felt.
From this standpoint our problem is
not so much to account for the
gambler as to account for the bust
ness man. The gaming instinct is
born in all normal persons. 1t is one
expression of % powerful reflex fixed
far back in an animal experience.
The instinct is. i'm itself right and in
dispensable. but we discriminate be
tween it's applications. It is valued
in war and business; it expresses
itself in a thousand forms in the
games of children and in college
athletics; il is approved in such eX-
pressions as golf tennis and billiards,
as recreation for the man OF
affairs. but society justly condemns
the exercise Of the instinct aside
from activities which create values.
The value may be in the increased
health and vigor which the business
man derives from the recreation, or
it may be i'm the creation of wealth
by this same man in a competitive
business, but the gamcster pure and
simple is not regarded with favor
by society. because he creates no
values and is therefore parasitical
and is besides a disorganizer OF the
habits Of others.

PLACE FOR CLAY EVANS
May BE Transferred to the Office of the
Currency.

Washington, July 3. 1t is said
transferred to the treasury depart
ment, to succeed Mr.. Dawes, as comp
troller OF the currency. Comptroller
Dawes resigned several days ago to
enter the senatorial race in Illinois, to
succeed Senator Mason, his resigna-
ton to take effect next October. 1t is
not known whether there is any foun.
dation for the rumor, but il is believ-
ed to contain some ground work of
truth. 1t will probably rest with Mr..
Evans whether he considered the place
of as much importance as the commits
sionet ship of pensions to warrant him
in accepting it. 1t is believed that the
president would be glad to have him
accept the place both for the reason
of putting stop to the criticisms lev
eled at Commissioner Evans by those
who believe he does not administer NE
pension bureau with sufficient liberali-
! ty and because he is eminently quail
fed by long experience as a business
man and financier to discharge the
duties of the comptrollership TO the
satisfaction of the country. The sal
airy is also somewhat better and the
dignity of the place is about on par
with that of the commissionership
Evans friends will probably advise
him to accept the Office if the president
has made up his mind to tender it tc
him.
