Judge s. r. Peters, of Newton, is in
Washington, in response to summons
by wire, and the inference is that he is to
be appointed commissioner of pensions
to succeed III. Clay EvaDs. Senator Bur-
ton and Congressman Curtis both in
Washington and the time is at hand for
them to take up this matter again with
the President. Colonel Thomas Ryan,
assistant secretary of the interior, and
close friend of the President, admits that
Judge Peters will probably be appointed.
Colonel Ryan said: .sThere will be no
change i'll the policy of the pension Of
flee. The President is in sympathy with
the administration of Commissioner
Evans, who has made an excellent official
Those who believe the proposed change
had any purpose in it of changing the
policy of the bureau toward expectant
pensioners will find themselves in error
The pension policy of the government
could not be more liberal than it has
been. MIR. Mckinley has and will con-
tinue TO carry out every pledge he made
to the old soldiers made in his behalf
by the Republican leaders. He believes
in exact justice to them, but he is not in
favor of any pension policy that would
eventually result in injury to the bene-
ficiaries- L think the President has al
ways been sound on the pension question.
If lie appoints Judge Peters commissioner
it will not be to discredit Evans official
policy, which L know he fully approves
In making the change, if made,
the president will provide for Commits
sioner Evans, not because he needs or so
licits another place, but rather to demon
strate the Administrations approval of
his official record / sincerely hope
Judge Peters will be appointed under
such conditions. He probably viii be
when the proper moment arrives and
place has been found for Commissioner
Evans, one which the latter, under such
circumstances, can with sef-respect ac-
cept.''

Harvest Hands Coming.
The Hutchinson News of Friday

The Hutchinson News of Friday says:
In covered wagons, on foot by the
freight train route, and on passenger
trains the crowds are coming westward
to the harvest fields. From the present
prospect the supply of harvest hands will
meet the demand in the Kansas wheat
belt.
This morning the passenger train on
the Santa Fe from the east brought in
about 200 men who have come to Reno
and Barton counties for employme dur
iEg the harvest. This lot of men divided
into smaller crowds at Hutchinson, some
going to Great Bend the main line
some over the branch to Partridge. Abby
Vile, Plevna and Sylvia. and some going
south on the Hutchinson s. Southern
The men seem to be posted as to where
they could find employment
There has been a steady line of har-
vest gangs going overland in wagons,
and some, though not the usual numbers
stealing through by the freight trains.
The big rush will not be on for several
days, SO that there may still be Il shortage
of hands. but judging from the early ar
rivals the wheat growers Will be able to
secure men enough to handle their crops.
The free employment bureaus are keep
ing tab on the demand for harvest hands
and most of the crowd which arrived
here on the Santa Fe this morning were
started west from that source. One
crowd started from ST. Joe, Mo-, and
were directed this way by James G. Cain,
clerk of the employment bureau there.
The st. Joe crowd numbered about fifty
men. Most of them do not belong to
that place but had come there recently
from Iowa and stopped there to secure in
formation regarding the demand for
harvest hands further west.

Kansas has two kinds of people-one
kind that roars against every thing and
another kind which accepts erything
with gladness. Here is one kind eXem-
plif1ed in Cullison correspondent to the
Pratt Republican: Some people are

senger train as anticipated, but we are
not. We think that ii is good thing for
the towns along the line that didn t.

sportsman aboard who go ont and
hunt through three of four corn fields and
you wait. Yes. We're ag'in the passen-

Dogs That Catch Fish.

r. A. Andrews has a litter of setter
pups that are about half grown and they
have developed faculty heretofore un-
known in the canine family. Every one
has heard the inquiry, s'did you ever see
catf1sh,'' bnt we doubt if any one ever
a dogfish before Mr.. Andrews has
large pond we'll stocked with channel
cat and other food fish. The other day
he saw one of the dogs standing the
bank watching the water, suddenly the
the pup made leap and went in all
over but emerged with a four pound
channel cat in his mouth and brought it
ashore. Mr. Andrews rescued it and re-
turned it TO the water alive. But after
that it was nothing uncommon to find a
had dropped it, They don't eat them,
but catch them for the fun of it. The
dogs watch the surface of the pond by the
hour. and when a cat fish comes to the
surface as they frequently do for food,
the dog makes leap and nine times out
of ten nails fine fish If a setter dog
can be taught to fish, If opens up a new
line of usefulness for these valuable ami
mals.-Kinsley Mercury.

Danger in Raw Vegetables.

That worms are frequently conveyed
from vegetables into the intestines of hu-
man beings has long been known, and Nj
6. CeserOle, scientist of Padua, now
maintains that a great deal of injury Is
certainly done to the public health in this
way.
For the purpose of arriving at the truth
on this point he recently examined the
sediments of the water in several vessels
in which vegetables, such as cabbage,
lettuce and radishcs. fresh from the mar
ket, had been washed, and he saw
through the microscope that they con-
tanned a host of ordinary parasites, as
we'll many unusual and dangerous
microbes, including the germs of tetanus
and one analogous to the germ of typhoid
fever.
The cause of such infection in vege-
tables is generally attr huted to the water
which is used on them IN market gardens.
While they are growing, especially if the
season is hot. the plants frequently
watered, and it is claimed that the poison
thus conveyed to them is bound to prove
harmful to those who eat the vegetables.
This conviction is becoming daily more
widespread in consequence of a warning
given by NJ. Metchnikof of the Pasteur
institute, in Paris, the other day. He
said that having closely studied several
cases of appendicitis, he was of the firm
opin on that some, if not most, of them
had been caused by worms or microbes
which had found their way into the intes-
tines. To many European physicians
this seems the most plausible explana-
ton of the cause of appendicitis which has
yet been given. especially since it is in
entire harmony with the remarkable dis
covery made by NJ. Ceserole.
ened danger, NJ. Ceserole says: .sAfter
you have bought your vegetables, wash
them carefully, and then let them lie for
half an hour in thin solution of tartaric
acid, which will cost you little and which
you Will find of great antiseptic power-'

Supreme Court Holds That the Ea-
nous Tree Claims Are Valid.

The Supreme court Monday handed
down order in the famous Garden City
tree claim case in which the validity of
the claim against the city was recognized
In this ). NJ. Heller brought man
damus proceedings in the supreme court
to compel Mayor Davis and the city coun-
ell to levy 4 tax To pay the claim of
0,O0o. which he holds against the city
Some years ago, during the boom days,
the Mayor and council of Garden City
decided to beautify the place by planting
trees in the city. The council agreed tO
levy small tax on property about which
trees were planted and pay the expense
of the planting. The trees were planted
and shortly afterward the boom collapsed
and the council refused to levy the tax
In the order rendered in the case Mon
day by the supreme court. the conncil is
ordered to levy "A tax of 10 mills the
dollar of the assessed valuation of the
city. The order is taken a recognition
of the validity of Mr.. Heller's claim
against the city, notwithstanding the
fact that the order makes no reference TO
the manner in which the original debt
shall be paid.

There will be 6s4. 900. 100 bushels OF
wheat in the crop of 1901, according to
the figures of the statistican of the New
York Produce Exchange, based upon the
acreage and the condition as set forth by
the department of agriculture. This, OF
course, will break all the records, if iG
comes. The largest wheat crop ever
harvested thus far that of 1895,
which was 675 900, 900 bushels, and none
has come near that previously since 1891,
when the yield 613 ,OOO,0 bushels
The 6S4 100000 crop for 1901 would
please the country exceedingly. Eu-
ropes yield is apparently going to be
considerably short of the earlier expecta-
tions, and there will be market on the
other side of the Atlantic for all the
wheat which the United States will have
to spare. The larger the crop here the
better it will be for the country.-Globe-

JUSTICES SONS AS REFEREES
JUSTICE TRUAN INTIMATES THAT THE
APPOINTMENTS ARE THE RESULT
OF FRIENDSHIPS

Justice Truax Of tho Supreme Court was seen
at his home. No. l. East Sxty-hfth-st. yesterday
with reference the statement made by Senator
Malby at Albany that certain Supreme Court JUS
tices in the county of New-York had appointed
one anothers sons as referees the same day
AS to my sons appointment referee by
Justice Freedman the day | appointed
his SON said Justice Truax. II nothing either
extraordinary unusual in that | have never
asked Justice Freedman any other Justice Of the
court for an appointment for my son. and none
Of them has ever asked me to appoint his son.
Justice Freedman and I have been friends for
twenty years. I elected a Judge of the
Superior Court in 1881. and he and I sat together
there. He knows my son. and If he chose to ap
point him> referee I reason why he
should not do SO, especially If he considered he
would properly discharge his duties. I
why should not appoint Justice Freedman's
son a referee.
Il may say that during the last term l sat in
Special Term I appointed, I think. twenty-three
referees. and believe twenty of them were diff
ferent persons"
y do not notice Justice Beach's name in the list
of those who have appointed my son as referee. but
1 think he has done so. He has known my
since he child. and I suppose he appointed
him because he thought ft do Justice Dugro,
whose name is also missing from that list. has, I
believe. appointed him. He and have been friends
for fifteen years, and he has known my son for AT
least that time.
Justice Lawrence who has made of the APP
league Of mine for many years. while Justice Nc
Adam, whose name is also the list. sat with me
In the Supreme Court years ago. Justice Scott and
have been personal friends for over twenty-five
years. and he has known my son since.
BY the way, ] notice tlat Justice Slower has APP
pointed my son referee. He is not justice of
this department. but sits here when he is assigned.
He happens to be Republican. He and are par
ticular friends and when in New-YOrk he visits my
house and dimes with My daughter visits his
home, and spent several weeks there last summer
and since then. He and my very intimate,
and he always addresses him Arthur. can't
see why there should be criticism of his APP
pO!n ntment.
Il think most Of the appointments were in fore
closures of mortgages. in which the fees $50
each, and don't believe Arthur received more than
$1,000 in all the refereeships he has had | can't
why the question should create any excitement.
especially the matter of the appontmen of ref
erees was threshed great length by the Ma
yet Committee, and all the Supreme Court Justices
We're examined by that body.
Il may say that all the justices of the Supreme
Court warm personal friends, and ! should

The second days session of the twelfth annual
convention of the American Association for the
Advancement of Physical Education was held In
Fayerweather Hall. Columbia University yester-
day.
The paper Of Dr. George Wells Fitz of Boston.
the Physical Examination of Children aroused
considerable discussion. He held that IL a
requisite to intelligent physical training that the
teacher should know the physical condition of the
pupil, and he suggested a system Of measurement
and observation devised to give this information
at the least possible cost Of time. DR.. Fitz held
that the teacher thus equipped with information
could and should determine whether children
fit attend school
A general meeting held in the afternoon in
the large lecture in Havemeyer Hall, about
two hundred and fifty delegates being present Pro-
fessor J. Howard Van Amringe. dean of Columbia,
