IN NEED OF MONEY.
Western Colleges Are Being Neglect
ed by Their Friends

New Yorlx.July 11.-Howard Freeman
Doane. professor of Greek language
and literature at Doane college, Crete,
Neb is on a visit to this city ana last
night gave out an interview on educa-
ton in the west. Prof. Doane said;
What I am particularly interested
in IS the UNCONVENTIONAL institution as
distinguished from the state institution
in the west The state institutions
have no difficulty in holding their own
at the present time, but the smaller IN
stitutions are UNCONVENTIONAL They
were started by UNCONVENTIONAL lnf1u-
ences the same as the great institutions
in the east and are the ones who md
difficulty in getting ahead on account
of lack of endowment
cat present in the middle west, we
have not found enough men who are
interested in education to provide en-
dowmentss and buildings for the small
er colleges. A good deal of money for
these institutions stil has to come from
the east and eastern givers are becom-
ing tired Of furnishing the necessary
amount for the suitable growth of these
colleges. Started largely by eastern
money these institutions feel that now
the states in which they are situated
ought to supply funds for the future.
Some way must be found by which
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado
and the states west of them in general
shall interest wealthy men within their
borders to provide funds for the nat
uraI growth of these institutions"

ADVANCE GUARD HERE.
Twenty New York Unemployed Ar
rive But Won't Work.

The advance guard of the New York
unemployed appears to have struck
Topeka. 1t probably is portion OF
the 5000 which Alderman Goodman, OF
New York, was planning to send out
here to harvest the wheat crop.
Twenty of the unemployed were
lined up on the front steps of the city
free employment office. They were
typical buns. They had applied to
Employment Agent Shern. Williams
for a job on the Santa Fe at Colorado
Springs. On learning that the Santa
Fe's gang to Colorado Springs had left
yesterday, they declared that they did
not want to. go anywhere. Mr.. Viii
Hams told them they could go to work
for the Rock Island in central Kansas
but they unanimously and cordially de-
clined. Central Kansas was not enough
of a. sum mer resort for them
The plan of the gang was probably
to get a free trip to Colorado, and save
themselves trouble of riding brake
beams, coal cars and blinds.
The Rock Island is having great
trouble to get men for its central Kan
sas work. and for its shops at Horton
Rock Island official said that the
road could use 500 men without any
trouble The Topeka employment office
was asked to furnish $50 men for the
Rock Island, and as yet only six salts
factory applicants have appeared.
The situation in Colorado is very
much the same. The Santa F'e can
find no one to do its work and is likely
men at Topeka to take to Colorado
Springs. No men can be obtained in
Colorado, according to reports received
at the Santa F'e offices.

Kitchener Claims to Have Reliable
Evidence That They Do.

London, July 11.-Ofcial corrobora-
ton of the charges that the Beers had
killed the British wounded at Vlakfon-
TEN promises soon to be forthcoming.
In the house of commons today reply
ing to questions of Henry Norman, lib
eral, the war secretary, Mr.. Broderick,
read the Geographic correspondence
with Lord Kitchener on the subject.
The latter had at first declared that
the reports were unfounded, but he sub
sequently telegraphed the statement of
a wounded yeomanry officer corrobor-
ating the reports and, finally July 9, in
formed Mr.. Broderick that he had the
testimony of seven men to the effect
that they saw Beers shoot the wound
ed. Lord Kitchener added that sworn
testimony was being forwarded.

ROOT rs COMING.
Secretary Of War to Visit Fort Riley
Next Week

Secretary of War Root will go
through Topeka the middle of next week
on his visit of inspection to Forts Riley
and Leavenworth. The improvements
of both these posts, to which end Con-
gressmen Curtis and Calderhead have
been laboring for several years, viii be
furthered by this visit. 1t is, in fact
the main purpose of the secretary 5
visit.
While in the city today Congressman
Ca1derhead said: Riley Will have
100000 spent on it for new buildings
The government will make it one of the
biggest military esta blishments in the
world. This is in addition to the S30,000
appropriated for new buildings last
session and $4,000 two years ago The
department intends, I believe. to make
LeavenWorth and Riley two big central
schools for the army. Leavenworth is
devoted to infantry and cavalry; Riley
to cavalry and artillery Riley has next
to the largest riding school in the
world. Z"

HAVE 1000 LEPERS.
Estimate of Afflicted in the
United States.

New York, July IA Washington
dispatch to the Tribune says:
The surgeon general of the marine
hospital service is not ready to publish
the results thus far obtained under his
direction in the attempt to enumerate
the known cases of IeprOSy in the United
States, for the returns are far from
complete But sufficient material has
already been secured by the experts
who have been investigating for the
last two years to indicate that there are
at least one thousand leDerS in this
country, most of them immigrants
from abroad and to warrant strong
recommendations to congress for their
segregation The commission, consist
ing of Surgeon J. H. White, chairman,
and Passed Assistant Surgeons c. I.
Vaughan and NJ. J. Rosenau have been
working under congressional authority
since 1899. They sent circular letters to
physicians, health officers, hospital
superintendent and others in six hum
try, asking for reports and 1nforma-
ton regarding leprosy patients Eight
thousand circulars have been sent out
and only two thousand replies have been
received. From these 277 leperS have
been located and their names and adj
dresses obtained. About one hundred
are known to live in New Orleans, many
of whom are well to do persons of good
families In New York seven cases have
been reported. In San Francisco fif
teen cases are known. twelve are con-
fined in the pest house Owing to the
fact that thfee-fOurthS of the circulars
have brought replies, especially from
suspicious districts, the authorities estf-
mate that only about One-fOurth of the
cases of leprosy have been reported.
The commission will almost certainly
recommend to congress in its forthcom-
ing preliminary report that national
lazarettos be established in several
parts of the cOuntry-One, perhaps, at
New Orleans, one in New York and
another in Minnesota or Montana.

KANSAS CITY TROUBLE.
Like Topeka Menaced by Shortage in
Water Supply.

Topeka is not the only city menaced
by insufficient water protection
Kansas City is in much the same con-
dition. The following is from a Kan
sas City paper:
To Water Consumers: Owing to a
break in the Quindaro supply line our
supply of Missouri river water at Tur-
key creek station, which supplies the en-
tire city under high pressure, has run
so low that we are compelled to ask
our patrons to desist from sprinkling
for a day or two until we can eaten up
what was lost during the shutdown to
repair the lines. 1t is either this or Kaw
river water to our patrons, and we hope
they viii all join us in trying to pre-
vent the necessity of going to the kaW
river for our shorta ge.-D. W. Longwell,
superintendent
kansas City is today at the mercy
of a big fire. The fact has been con-
cealed for a long time in the hope that
the city government would arise to the
occasion and provide the necessary i'm
provements in the water plant, but that
hope has been dispelled- Should a big
fire break out in the city today, or dur
ing the next few weeks, there would be
no means of preventing most serious
loss The water supply is totally mad
equate to the demand upon 1t, and in
surance companies, which are carrying
risks on large buildings, are in de-
spair.
At no time during the past warm
weather has the water supply equaIled
the demand This has been caused by
the fact that the water system of Kan
sas City was built for a village and has
never been improved to keep up with
the growth of the city The lines of
pipes. which supply the water to the
various homes and buildings of the
city, have been well compared to a
streak of rust, and close examination
of the mains discloses a very small
streak of rust at that.

CARPENTER GETS A PLACE.
His Balm Is the Attorneyship OF
Cherokee Nation.


Col. John c. Carpenter, of Chanute, is
to have the attorneyship of the Chero-
kee nation at the hands of Senator
Burton A dispatch from Vinita, I. T.,
says that the compact was completed
Tuesday when Chief Burlington promis-
ed Carpenter the position.
Now that Littlefie1d S. Crum has been
appointed marshal, it is said that Col
Carpenter coveted that place, though
never in the running, and that the In
dian attorneyship is given as a balm
to wounded feelings. At the Corey
vile celebration July Fourth, Carpenter
was promised a position equivalent in
emOluments to the marshalship.
Senator Burton met Chief Burlington
of the Cherokee nation and Carpenter
was promised the attorneyship of the
Indians now held by Judge Springer as
soon as the Cherokee council met next
November.
Senator Burton argued that it was
necessary for the Indians to be repre-
scented at Washington by a. Republican
If they expected to receive anything
from the present administration He
illustrated his point by a reference to
the recent failure of Judge Springer,
who is a Democrat, in the Kiowa in
junction proceedings Chief Burlington
promised to give the position to a Re
publican and Senator Burton immedi-
ately named Carpenter as the man.
Yesterday, Carpenter and P. 7. Foley,
of the Foley Railroad Printing com
pany of Parsons, were in Vinita and reg
istered at the Cobb House as "P T.
Foley and friend" Chief Burlington
was closeted with them for several
hours and when the party separated
Carpenter was promisedthe position
To GUST Judge Springer, it is necessary
to get the consent of the Cherokee ma
tional council, but as Burlington con-
trolls it there is no doubt of the slate
going through. The position carries a
salary of $4,000 year
This appointment will take Carpenter
out of the Third district congressional
fight. w S. Fitzpatrick of Sedan, side
tracked his partner, ]. G. Bradley a
short time ago and expects to have
smooth sailing into the nomination.
Dissatisfied stoclzmen have not forgot
ten his part in the quarantine law and
the other candidates will make it a
warm race. Percy Willitts. of Wilson,
is a strong candidate, George Wheatley
and H. c. Dooley are candidates also.
