S5OO.OOO FOR "BOBS. "
Voted Him on the Ground That
He Saved the Country.

London, July 31.-In the house CT
commons proposing a resolution
granting Field Marshal Earl Roberts
100000 for his services in South At
RIGA, a. J. Balfour, the government
leader in the course of a eulOgy of
the field marshal said there was no
doubt that but for Lord Roberts daring
and strategy and the rapidity with
which his plans were carried out KIM
berley and Mafeking would have fallen,
1000 British would have been starved
into submission at LadySmith and
there would have been a general rising
of disloyalists in South Africa The
country was saved from this by the
genius of the man he now invites it to
reward by a unanimous vote, irrespec-
tive of political differences. The state
ment called forth protests from the r.
ish members. The liberal leader, Sir
Henry Campbeu-Bannerman concurred
in the motion.
John Dillon. Irish nationalist, strong
" opposed the vote. He declared Lord
Roberts had shown the greatest inhu-
manity in South Africa and said he
had employed barbarous methods and
had proved himself a dismal failure
Mr.. Labouchere, Radical, protested
against granting gratuities to military
men while nothing was given to civil
ians who were doing something of bene-
fit to their country.
Mr.. Keer Hardy, Socialist and hide

declared that in the opinion of experts
at home and abroad, Lord Roberts
failure primarily was responsible for
the continuance of the war.
Mr.. Swift MaeNeill, Irish Nationalist,
said he considered Lord Roberts opera
tons were conducted with a maximum
of cruelty and a minimum of humanity
and that his farewell speech at Cape
Town was horrible, hypocritic and bias
phemous.
After further debate for and against
the measure, Mr.. Balfour moved the
closure, which was carried by 257 to 108
votes The resolution was adopted by
a vote of PSI to 70.

GATHERING IN.
Politicians Are Returning From
Their Vacations.

Some few familiar political faces
showed up today after vacation and
business absences. The gossip is very
light in quality. however.

plan with regard to this place IS work

satisfaction is to be gotten for t1ndlay
before Simpsons appointment IS an
nOunced.
In relation to the agricultural outlook
in Mcpherson county Simpson says
their pastures held up we'll during the
drought. They will have ample. fodder
and forage for stock and recent good
rains have helped the situation.
Harry Tracy showed his smiling face
again after a sOjourn at his nome IN
Wamego. Since the Jubilation in honor
of his recomm for United
States district attorney he has been
staying right on the grounds to give
his opponents chance for all their
shots. The delay in receiving his COM

significant and anxiety on the score of
the fight started has not made appear

TALKS WITH DOM PAUL
Treasurer of Chicago Holland Society
Visits Presldent Kruger.

The Hague, July 31.-The interview
yesterday between Robert H. Van
Setback, Treasurer of the Holland So
ciety of Chicago and Mr.. Kruger, was
most cordial Mr.. Van Setback, his
wife, and Mr.. Kruger conversed to-
gether for an hour. When Mr.. Van
Setback announced that he was the
bearer of the society's invitation to Mr..
Kruger to be their guest, assuring Mr..
Kruger of the high esteem in which he
was held in the United States as a
grand old patriot whose noble devotion
to the cause of liberty recalled the de-

Kruger was visibly affected. He said
he we'll knew he had many warm
friends in America whom he would like

MAYOR HUGHES HAS 1T.
Doctors Diagnose the Trouble as UNI.
bellated Vesicle.

DO you know what is the matter with
Mayor Hughes? The secret is out
He has an I'm bellated vesicle. The
doctor says SO.
An umbellated vesicle may be a Sc
rious thing Some think that it ought
to be cut out without delay. This is
what the dictionary says it is:
Umbellated, resembling an umbel
Umbel, a kind OF flower cluster, like
a carrot.
..vesicle. membranous cavity, a
cell"
The skull of some men may very
properly be described as a vesicle
Evidently the skull is umbellated when
it has a cluster of carroty hair on it.
And Mayor Hughes has an umbeI-
lated vesicle.
The peculiar part of this case is that
Mayor Hughes has his umbellated
vesicle on his thumb.
It was only yesterday that the
mayors case was diagnosed. DIR. L. NJ
Powell happened to be in the mayors
office, and the mayor said:
Doctor, I've got a mighty sore
thumb here What do you suppose is
the matter with it?"
On the back of the mayors thumb is
a red thing, about the size of a lima
bean. 1t looks like an overgrown wart
THAT thing is undoubtedly an UNI
bellated vesicle," declared the doctor
after he had examined it.
Mayor Hughes did not faint. or even
scream. He received the bad news
very calmly and lit q cigarette.
The case was reported to the health
officers, and they are investigating to
see whether or not an um bellated ves-
icle should be sent to the pest house.

WORKING TOGETHER.
Sanitary Department and Street
Force Cooperating.

The sanitary department and the
street commissioner are working to-
gether to clean up the alleys on the
paved streets. All the rubbish is being
taken out of the alleys. especially from
places where there appears to be no one
responsible for the presence of the rub
bish.
The street cleaning department does
not as a rule clean I'D the manure in
the alleys, but at the present time every
thing will be cleaned up for which no
one can be held responsible. This is
partially to put the alleys in such con-
dition that the rubbish and manure
will not wash into the sewers and clog
them, and partially to put the alleys in
to good sanitary condition.
