M'KINLEY HIS TEXT.
Senator Fairbanks Foresees Monu-
ment to Rise Over Martyrs Grave.

Canton. O., Nov. 4-Senator Fair
banks, of Indiana and W. H. Phelps
closed the Republican campaign in
Stark county Saturday night They
spoke in the tabernacle. where the
late President Mckinley, up to the time
of his inauguration as president, often
spoke.
Senator Fairbanks said:
mo matter what subject engages our
attention, our thoughts irresistibly turn
to the tragedy at Buffalo.
mckinley was the incarnation of
justice and mercy. He was well poised
and looked the president. He delighted
TO do kind and generous things. He
was strong and loyal to conscience. He
did not affect greatness or superior vir-
tue. He was great and he possessed
the virtues which crowned the noblest
manhood. He was clean in person, in
thought, in speech and deed He loved
the people. This was his master pas
sion.
In faith we now see our great presi-
dent among the greatest of immortals-
He Is now in everlasting and sweet
Fellowship with Washington and Lin
coin. How cruel fate seemed when it
decreed that Abraham Lincoln should
not enjoy the promised land after he
had led his people through the red sea
of civil war.
1dent Mckinley could not have lived to
witness the fruition of his enlightened
policies and ardous work.
I'VE shall raise above the ashes of
our martyred president an imposing
monument, one in keeping with the dig
nifty of his character and of his great
achievements 1t will be erected by
the gratitude of his countrymen. Here
at his home and final resting place,
among the people he loved beyond pow
er of the worlds applause, shall arise
an enduring tribute of the patriots of
all lands. a tribute from the high and
the low. from all races and from all
sections at home and beyond the sea-
If all who dwelt within the range Of
his generous purpose should contribute,
there would, indeed. stand here a monu-
ment commensurate with his lofty gen
ius, and with the strength and glory of
the great republic.
Anarchy The enemy of state, the
church, the home, the enemy of all we
hold most dear.
I'VE will deal with it under the sober
and orderly processes of the law. Would
that be the concurrent engagement of
all of the powers of the earth there
could be no place for the foot of an an
archist this side of everlasting perdi-
ton
I'VE shall miss the kindly nature, the
wise and conservative judgment of our
great leader There is none other
among US so great and good as he, or
must take up his uncompleted task and
press on
TO his successor we yield a loyal al
legiance. If he but walk the path so
well marked for him national progress
and prosperity lie before u.s. We have
the plighted word. We accept it We
do not doubt it,

MR.. SHELDON'S STORY.
Latest Installment Borders on the
Sensational.

Charles M. Sheldon's new story 1.-THE
Reformer," bordered on the sensational
in the chapter, which was read Sunday
night at Central church to the usual
packed house.
f'The Reformer,'' John Gordon, has
several rather narrowing experiences,
the exact relevancy of which to the rest
of the plot is not apparent He first
goes to one of the low vaudeville thea
tiers with the father of his erstwhile
fiancee, Mr.. Marsh, and Mr.. Marsh is
greatly impressed by the disgusting de-
pravity of the place. Mr.. Marsh also
has a talk with Miss Andrews. the head
of Hope house, and he half promises
to take some financial interest in the
improvement of the tenement houses
which he owns.
The scene then shifts to the bedside
of David Barton, John Gordon's news
paper friend. who is dying with con-
sumption incidentally, Gordon's at
tention is called to a yellow journal"
story in Bartons paper of Gordon's dis
agreement with his father and his
sweetheart, and his resolution to enter
into slum work. Barton disclaims all
responsibility of the story, however
queer old fashioned woman is in
troduced who tells Gordon that Barton
has been spending his money sending
other people who We're suffering with
consumption to Colorado, while he him
self stayed in the city and slowly sue
cumbed to the same disease.
The chapter closes with a scene In
one of the tenements, where a little boy
named Louie, a friend of Gordons, has
died. Here Gordon meets for the first
time a man named Tommy Ryan, the
political ward boss The chapter closes
with Ryan giving the order that a pine
coffin provided for little Louie be taken
away and a better one provided. The
impression is left with the reader that
Gordon and Tommy Ryan, the ward
boss, are likely to play important parts
in relations to each other.

FUNSTON TO RETURN.
Unofficial Reports Say He Will
Ask For Leave of Absence.

Kansas City, Nov. 1T is reported
from an unofficial source that General
Fred Funston will shortly apply for
leave of absence from the Philippines
to visit the United States. General Fred
d. Grant will likely succeed Funston
in command of the San Fernando dis
trict-
1t is reported that Funston is rapidly
recovering from the operation per-
formed at the first reserve hospital in
Manila in September, for appendicitis
Funston has had more active service
than has fallen to the lot of any of the
officers of the Spanish-American war,
unless it be General Lloyd Wheaton
Funston was mustered into the service
in April, 1898, as colonel of the Twen-
tieth Kansas. Following a month or
two of detached duty upon the staff of
General Miles at Tampa he returned to
his regiment until his promotion to
brigadier general, relinQuishing COM
mand of a brigade when the Kansas
regiment was ordered home in Septem-
ber 1859. He accepted the offer of the
war department to remain in the serV-
ice and sailed for the Philippines in
the first week il November. His cap
t1Se of Aguinaldo earned and secured
him y commission as brigadier general
in the regular army after the order of
his Dtlstes- out of the volunteer service
had been Issued. Thus 1T will be seen
that F'Lust On has had active and siren
uouS service since May, 1898, except
nine weeks in the fall of 1890.

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION
Annual Meeting Will Be Held on
November Is.

New York, Nov. AT the annual
meeting of the Amateur Athletic union
on November Is many important topics
will be discussed, among them the fol-
lowing:
At the recent Canadian meeting, DR..
George Mex. Hall, of the Y. M. G. A.
of Buffalo, competed and won the pole
vaulting contest He was protested on
the ground of professionalism, as it
was charged he competed for money in
Syracuse and also in Canada
Secretary Sullivan, of, the A. A u,
has received a letter from the secre-
tary of the Canadian association ask
ing the cooperation of the A. A. u. in
ascertaining the truth.
The Harry Gill case also is likely to
come up for adjustment. Gill was
charged with having accepted money
for coaching a western college team at
an A. A u. championship meeting and
competed under protest. The matter
was referred to the central association
in whose territory the act was COM
mitted. Mr.. Gill has written to the
A. A. u, saying that he would like to
have his case transferred to the Cana
dian A A u, on the ground that he
could attend meetings there and defend
himself, whereas if it We're tried in
America it would be a hardship on him
to attend the committee meetings. His
application has been referred to the
president of the Central association.

OTTAWA 6; Nj. 5. u. 6.
Missouri Tigers Show Unexpected
Strength at Columbia

Columbia, Mo-, Nov 4-Missouri uni
verS1ty and Ottawa met Saturday on the
Columbia gridirOn in the best game ever
seen here, which resulted in tie, to
Ottawa will play it's next game today
with Kirksville, and feeling confident
of an easy victory in the game with the
Tigers, saved their men and took pre-
cautions against accidents. In this they
made a mistake, for the Tigers set a
terrific pace at the offset and surprised
even their own hackers. No sooner had
Ottawa kicked off than Missouri had
the ball back to center in record break
ing time, smashed the opposing line, and
was working the ball we'll into Kansas
territory. All this was accomplished by
combination work done with such rapid
and apparent assurance that the uni
verSity students forgot to cheer until
Missouri had worked the ball by six
straight downs to within the Kansas 20
yard line Here Ottawa made a desperate
stand. Baughman got the ball and by
good support carried it 10 yards
Washer, of the Tigers, downed him
and the home team slowly regained the
lost ground by combined work, the best
that has been seen on the Columbia grid
iron this season. With the ball again on
their 20-yard line, the visitors were get
ting nervous, when Hall, Missouri's full
back, took advantage of the situation,
got the ball and went around almost
on the line and the Tigers put him over
in one surge. Kirk kicked goal Time
was called with the ball in the center
of the field. Score: to in favor of the
Tigers.
In the second h.>1f ottawa pursued the
same tactics as in the first half and their
combination work was the best that has
been seen here for several seasons.
Their touchdown was made near the
close of the game. King took the ball
over the line and KernS kicked the goal,
making the score a tie, to 6.

Bethany 80. Emporia O.

Lindsborg, Kan, Nov. 4.-The football
team of Bethany college at Lindsborg.
easily defeated the College of Emporia
team by a score of 80 to o. The En-
poria team put up plucky resistance
and played a good clean game but were
clearly outclassed. Bethanys goal at no
time being in danger. The ball was in
Emporia's territory throughout the en-
tire game. The rusheS of Dave PETER
son. Leslie Peterson andKarl Swenson,
Bethany'S star backs, and Woodward,
the crack tackllxe were irresistible. After
Emporia kicked off it was soon evident
times Bethany would score. At the close
of the first half the score stood IS to 0,
two touchdowns having been made by
Leslie Peterson and one by Dave Pet
terson. Swenson kicked goal

READY TO QUIT.
W. P. Harrington, Editor of Cove
County Advocate, Discouraged.

The following signed editorial leader
by w. p. Harrington, editor of the Cove
County Advocate, one of the bright
Populist papers, shows a resignation
which is pathetic:
THE Advocate is for sale to any one
who will take it and run it as a Demo-
cratic paper This I cannot do myself
with very good grace, and am ready
to quit and leave the field to some one
else.
4 take this action because I can see
no future for Populist newspaper.
During a recent trip to the eastern part
of the state l had opportunity to
size up the situation. All over the state
the Populists are abandoning their or
ganization and going into the Demo-
cratic party. Next year the state ticket
will be made up of former Populists or
men acceptable to Popuiists, but it will
bear the Democratic name There will
be no Populist state ticket, or if One is
nominated it will be a boilers ticket
and will cut no figure in the election.
A Populist paper would be left without
following or influence I do not feel
capable of running any kind of paper
but a PopuliSt, and the only thing for
me to do is to quit when my party
quits.
1t is to be hoped that the absorption
of our party by the Democratic organ
ization will result only in good to the
cause From the time that the Demo-
overheard, nominated William J. Bryan
for president and put certain Of our de-
mandS in its platform it has been a
foregone conclusion that the mission of
the Peoples party was ended and that
its spirit had gone to reanimate the
Democratic party. Populists now have
no right to turn back. If they still
stand where they stood in 1896 and 1900
they will not be out of place in the
Democratic party; if, as is the case
with many of them. they are no longer
satisfied with the conservative declara-
tions of past compaigns their place is in
some more radical organization like
the Socialist party.
AS for the Advocate, it's business out
look was never better: its subscription
list is growing and the territory from
which it draws its business is getting
better; should be well content to con-
tinue if the political prospect were as
satisfactory to me as the business out
look The Advocate will be continued a
few weeks longer to give the Demo-
rats a chance. If no one will buy I
shall take it to mean that the Demo-
Gratis do not want a paper and shall
stop publication. I have other business
interests which demand attention and
on my farm I shall not lack for some
thing to do.

MIR. THURSTON'S APPLES.
Topeka Banker Starts an Interesting
Competition.

J. W. Thurston, of the Bank of To-
peka, has started an apple competition
that has run the standard of prize win
ming Shawnee county apples up at a
rapid rate.
Not long ago a farmer in talking
with Mr.. Thurston remarked that last
summer there was talk that the apple
crop would be failure. The man hap
pened to be j. F. Wilson, from Elmont.
He informed Mr.. ThurSton that he had
some fine apples on his place, and the
next time he came to town he brought
some samples of Ben Davis apples that
weighed eight ounces
A few days later w. L. Saunders, of
Berryton, saw the samples, so he
brought in some Ben Davis apples just
a little larger. It. v. Shaffer, of Dover,
saw the growing collection and became
interested. He brought in two beau
tiful varieties, the Huntsman and
Grimes Golden. The Huntsman has the
richest yellow color of any apple, and
the Grimes Golden has a flavor that
can be produced only in Shawnee coun-
ty, so the horticulturistS say.
Then w. A. l.. Moore, of Auburn, saw
the collection and brought in some fine
samples of Missouri Pippins and Wine
saps- w NJ Iytle, of Dover, entered
into the contest by donating a shoe box
filled with Ben Davis apples of an even
size and color which are as perfect as
the wax samples seen in glass cases.
Charles Aye, of Tecumseh, is the last
man to enter his apples, and so far he
holds the prize. He added to the collec-
ton a Missouri Pippin weighing 91z
ounces, and another tipping the scales
at 10 ounces He also brought along
two Ben Davis apples, one weighing 10
ounces and the other 141z He left two
at Frank Newland's grocery a week or
so ago that weighed an even pound
each
Mr. Thurston's competition is open to
Shawnee county, and anyone who has
apples that can beat those already en-
tered he would like to have them take
a hand. Those who have entered their
apples were so interested that some of
them made special drives in from the
country to place their apples with the
others in the front window of the bank

NEW NINE SOLD.
Recent Rich Strike at Colorado
Springs Changes Hands.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Nov. 4.-The
control of the Elkton Consolidation Gold
Mining company on the property of
which a remarkably rich strike was
made recently, has passed into the hands
of eastern capitalists for a consideration
based on a valuation of s6,875,000 for the
entire capitalization. The names of the
buyers are withheld for the present by
E. M. Delavergne, their local agent, him
self prominent stockhkolder.
The deal is perhaps the largest in
volving Colorado mining property since
Stratton'S Independence was sold in
April, 1899, for SO, 0GO 900.
In local mining circles it is thought
that the purchasers are New York cap
italists who represent Wehrner, Belt &
Co., of London, who have sought to buy
the mine.
