/ WANT HORSES AND MULES:
Mr.. stowe Says American Animals, on Ac-
count OF Size and Strength. Are In
Demand In South Africa.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The state
department is in receipt of another
interesting report from Mr.. Stowe,
who recently resigned his post as
United States consul general at Cape
Town, dated July 16, which calls at
tention to the demand for horses and
mules, especially American animals,
in South Africa The size and
strength of American horses and
mules, he says, has made them most
popular in the Transvaal, not only
in the armies. but with the farmers.
Animals brought from other coun-
tries, Mr.. Stowe says, stand the eli
mate well, but are not big and
strong enough for farm and city
use. The veldts of South Africa are
dotted with the carcasses of horses
that have died of starvation, sick
ness and fatigue and, notwithstand-
ing the great number imported into
Cape Colony. there will be need for
many more by the time hostilities
have ceased.

LITTLE OLD CORN ON HAND.
The Total Amount West of the Missis.
sippi River Estimated at 1OO,-
100000 Bushels.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 31.-A careful
inquiry made among the leading farm
ing sections of this state and Nebras-
ka fails to show any considerable
amount of old corn on hand.
1t is considered by the best authori-
ties that not more than 100000, 900
bushels of corn is held west of the
Mississippi river. and perhaps not SO
much as this. The manager of an i'm
portant grain company of this section
sums up the matter thus:
1T is very difficult, indeed, to form
an intelligent opinion of the stock of
old corn in crib west of the Mississippi
river. In our opinion any such esti-
mate as total supply of 600.0O0,OO0
is mistake. We believe that 100, ,OOO,-
900 bushels would not be far out of
the way for the territory mentioned.
There is absolutely no way to approx
innate the amount. We merely ven
ture this as our opinion
1t is doubtful if the west was ever
60 short, comparatively speaking, as
it is now, of corn for fattening stock

TO DIE At TIE stake.
"Bossie Francis," the Murderer of
Miss Mary Henderson, Will Be
Burnt When Caught.
MOB WORKING WITHOUT POSITIVE CLUE
The General Belief Is That Francis Is StIH
Hiding In tho Negro Mining Settle
ment of Blackwster, Eight Miles North
OF Holden, Mo.-Systematic Search to
BE Made for the Brute.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 31.-Armed
men and bloodhounds early Friday
morning again took up the search, &C
miles south of Kansas City, for ''Bos-
sic Francis, the murderer of Miss
Mary Henderson. Notwithstanding the
failure of the mob Thursday, after
they had apparently had him in the
tolls, the man hunt that has been
kept up in two counties for the past
4S hours was resumed Friday with re-
newed vigor and will be continued un-
til the negro is finally run down.
A counsel of Francis pursuers has
already decided that his punishment
shall be meted out at the stake. w.
c. Hyatt, Miss Henderson's brother
in-law, approves this method of deal
ing with the negro.
Il want him to be brought here to
the scene of his crime said Mr.
Hyatt, at Columbus, where he can
make a confession / want to recall
to him how many years we cared for
him and how kind Mary was to him,
and ask him why he killed her. Then
when he has answered that, 1 want
to see him burned"
"Will you apply the match?" was
asked.
Il will do something" he replied
with energy.
The mob Friday morning was with
out positive clue upon which to
work, but there was general belief
that Francis is still hiding in or
around the negro mining settlement
Of Blackwater, eight miles north of
Holden. Thursday night armed men
searched the negro quarters in Holden
and other nearby towns, but without
avail. a systematic search of the ne
gro settlements in the country be-
tween Odessa, in Lafayette. county,
south to Holden and Warrensburg, in
johnson county, will be made.
Gov. Dockery Friday offered a re-
ward of $500 for the capture of the
murderer, and the officials of Johnson
county offered reward of S10o.

Il would rather be right than pres

me as their ruler and l think would
be imposing upon item by giving
them an opportunity to vote against
me again. Twice l was defeated, and
while L do not say [ was defeated
honorably, L am satisfied, and do not
intend to try to force myself into the
race again. If the American people
ever decide that they wish to try Bry-
anism L could not refuse to grant
them their desire, but for the present
at least the presidency is the least
thing on my mind when 1 go to bed

Mr.. Bryan refused to discuss any
thing in connection with ID. B. Hill,
but when asked how he considered
the chances of Tom johnson, of Ohio,
replied:
"Mr. Johnson is good man and a
good democrat and l would be glad
to support him for any Office, but it. is
too early to estimate his chances in
the presidential contest. And, too,
Mr.. Johnson, I believe. has not an
nounced that he is a candidate"
Mr.. Bryan stated that it was his
opinion if the republican convention
was held this year Roosevelt would be
nominated by acclamation.

surprised if the republican party
