Closing Tone Steady.

NEW YoRoK, May 15.-There was n
further contraction of the dealings in
stocks today, the low record total of the
year being reached. Fully one-thrd of
.ne transactions took place in the first
nan hour. All of the developments were
favorable, with the exception of the I'M
certainty that existed regarding the prob
able result Of the convention Of anthra-

alton proved sufficient to reduce the mar

the same time the tone was generally
steady, and all of the important price
changes at the close showed gains. the

ished In the miscellaneous and so-called
specialties.
Strike Discounted.
During the day the impression became
more general that the prospects Of the
declaration of strike by the United
Mine Workers organization were fast
being discounted. Long after the close of
business it was announced that the min
ers had cast a unanimous vote for a

Money More Easy.
The banks are reducing their loss to
the sub-treasury, although the full effect
of the pending increase in the disburse-
ments for pensions will only be reflected
to slight extent in this weeks bank
statement. 1t is understood that fairly
considerable amount of money has been
received this week from the interior. The
ruling rate for call money was So per

easier and business was done on time at
q reduction Of fully " per cent below re-
cent quotations.
The only approach to animati in the
trading was in Southern Railway, which
led in activity, and 1t recorded an ex-
treme net gain OF nearly a point. only

DR.. PEERS SPEAKS.
Topeka Physician Makes Address at
Independent Meeting.

At tide Stahl and, Stebbfns meeting of
the Independent Republicans held at the
Glover Hill school house, DR.. T. w.
Peers said: About so years ago the Re
publican party was founded on three
principal ideas.
"First-obedience to the laws of the
constitution and against notification.
"Second-The abolition of slavery.
Tbird-Protection for American la
bors. Having accomplished these prin-
ciples and written them into law. the
Republican party still stands for obedi-
ence to law and against notification
slavery to rum as is witnessed h.
Maine, Kansas. North Dakota and
Iowa, and stands for protection to
American laborers.
1T is better for a party to be tenn
pOrarily defeated than to elect men who
are opposed to the principles of the par
ty or who are bad men. Both Lucas
and Nichols have studiously practiced
notification of the laws that the -
publican party has made and are not
Republicans in the belief on which -he
party was founded. Therefore any Re
publican who votes for either one is do
ing his party a great wrong.
Not only IS Galen Nichols nullifier
but also a rank hypocrite when he at
tempts to insult the intelligence of his
audience by saying he has tried to do
his duty in the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law. With a poorer law than
the Hurrel law every other county at
torney that Shawnee county has ever
had that tried to do his duty succeed
ed in driving out every open joint that
tried to run so that if Galen Nichols
has tried to do his duty he has shown
himself to be absolutely incompetent
and unworthy the support of any Re-
publican citizen.
L. A. Stebbins the candidate for county
attorney devoted part of his speech to
the refusal of the Republicans to meet
the Independents in joint debate. He said
1 in part:
ITO the end that each citizen might
have the fullest opportunity to weigh and
analyze the respective positions of the
straightouts and the Independents, we is
sued them to a challenge to joint discus
sion. We invited them to a joint discus
sion between the candidates for county at
torncy. or if this was not desirable. joint
discussion between the candidates for
sheriff or if for any reason this was not
desirable we invited them to joint dis
cussion between any persons they might
select, and such persons that we might
select.
''Our challenge has been rejected with
out any reason being given therefor, We
therefore charge that, they dare not meet
US in joint debate, that they are conscious
fensabIe We charge that they are afraid
of the truth. We charge that they art
making statements, and that they expeci
to make more statements in the conduci
of their campaign concerning their posi-
ton. and concerning the regularity o.
their nominations that are not true. anc
that they cannot defend in open debate

TRAFFIC IS STOPPED.
Rock Island Tied Up by Wreck
for "a Hours.

Traffic on the Denver line Of the Rock
island has been blocked for the last "A
hours owing to a freight wreck in a cut
near Brewster, the second station east
or Goodland,s Kas.. Thursday. The truck
rigging. on one of the cars broke while
the train was in motion and ten loaded
cars went into the ditch. So far as can
be learned now nobody was hurt, al
though at the time it was thought two
or three tramps were piled up in the
WreekaSe. Later one of these emerged
from the bottom of the equipment that
mad been demolished and told the train
men that so far as he knew he was the
only passenger of that class that was
jured.
The train was east-bound fast freight

cult to clear up so that the business of
the road could be kept moving. A track

and that required so much time that it
was not ready for use until $50 this
morning. East-bound passenger train

BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY
New York Man Attempts a Case of
Double Murder

New York, Oct. 10.-Mysterious features
surround two attempts at murder and af-
terward suicide on the lower West side
On Wednesday, Mrs. Adams, wife of a
plasterer, was admitted to a hospital,
where she is being treated for a bullet
wound in the head. She was accompanied
by Henry Brockstedt.
How she received the wound is not
known as the stories told do not agree.
Twenty -four hours later Brockstedt en-
tered the Adams house and found the
husband of the wounded woman there
alone. He attacked Adams with a re-
volver, beating him over the head and
then shot him. The police took up the
chase and, a few hours later, found
Brockstedt dead in his room in DOninich
street. He had swallowed q quantity of
carbo1ic acid and then shot himself.
Adams was conveyed to the hospital
where his wife lay.
The couple were permitted to converse
but no clear idea could be gathered Of
the shooting other than that Brockstedt
had attempted a double murder because of
jealousy

THE BOY CAUGHT ON.

Women can't read a boys nature as
men can. and they might as well own
up. The Buffalo mother who sent her
boy to a drug store with a bottle and a
sealed note imagined she was sharper
than the serDent's tooth when she wrote
to the druggist:
Send me half a pint Of port wine
and write on the label, P. w. Poison. .
The druggist followed orders. and
when the boy got outside he tore off
the wrapper and read the label
p. w. Poison" he unused as he
walled along. Wonder what that is.
P. w. doesn't stand for bedbugs, and
know it. and It doesn't mean rats either
p w. can't be hair dye nor scalp wash.
and I'm going to touch my tongue to it,
He touched. 1t tasted so good that
he took a sip. and, meeting three or
four boys just then, the crowd entered
n lumber yard and Pd the contents of
that bottle till only gill was left Then
one of the lads ran home after a dipper
of water, filled up the bottle, and our
hero trotted homeward, whispering to
himself:
p. w. means pretty weak, and if she
finds it SO she mustn't blame nobody
but the druggist.

WHERE ARE THEY?
Auditor Cole Wonders What Becomes
of Fees,

What becomes of the stenographers'
fees that ought to be paid into the state
treasury by the clerks of the district
courts over the state? That is a ques-
ton which State Auditor Cole has been
bordering over since the report of fees
received has been com-iled in his Of
fee.
Under the present law clerks of dis
trict courts are compelled to collect
stenOgrapher's fee of 81 in every case in
which a stenographer is used, and if the
case lasts more than one day two dol
lars for each additional day. and these
fees are turned into the state treasury.
But Notwithstanding this provision
the Second judicial district. comprised
of Atchison county. has turned into the
state treasury only S12. This is the least
of any judicial district The largest
amount s27e was turned ir by Chero-
bee county. ard the total amount re-
ceived during the year vas $25S740
Shawnee and Wyandotte counties do

Dher out of the county treasury and
keeps the fees. But in the other % ju-

The action of the postal authorities in

POSTS ARE DEFECTIVE.
Minnesota Firm Called Down for Poor
Ironwork.

The Minnesota firm which is putting
in the new steel stairways in the state
house is having more trouble Some
body discovered a few days ago that
some of the posts which have been put
in are defective. The posts are supposed
to be bronze. but some curious individ :
ual tried a knife on one and found that
lae could white off shavings of lead.
An investigation by Auditor Cole ana
Attorney General GODDARD revealed the
fact that there had been air holes in
the posts when they had been cast and
these had been filed up with melted
lead and then bronzed over. AS a re-
suit number of posts have been
thrown out.
The firm stated several months ago
that it would lose $1,000 on the contract,
and if that is true it may lose more,
because the state officials are insisting
on good work. The job was to have
been completed by October Is, but it IS
still far from finished. The corridors
have sounded like a boiler shop for
weeks, and the state house officials and
clerks are anxious for the work to be
completed as soon as possible. A mem
Der OF the firm came on from Min
neapolis yesterday to see about it.

WHAT OF SCHENCK?
Republicans and Independents
Want Him to Quit.

Both the Republican and the indie
pendent forces seem to be greatly wor-
rieG over the fact that J. ]. Schenck,
the Democratic nominee for county at
torney, has buckled on his political
armor and has entered the campaign
arena.
Representatives of both the Independ-
ents and the Republicans have limited
strongly to Schenck tnaJ he ought to
withdraw from the race. Schenck seems
to be the one to laugh as he is the only
one who does not seem to be worried.
Some of the Independents say that
Schencks candidacy means the defeat
of Stebbins. Many Republicans have
said that Schencks candidacy means
the defeat of Nichols.
Schenck's Democratic friends feel GER
tain that he holds the key to the polit-
zeal situation. Many Democrats how
ever, do not wish to indulge in an active
campaign. L. NJ PenWelI was elected
chairman of the Democratic county cen-
trail committee. Many Democrats are
complaining that Penwen does not in
tend to carry on vigorous campaign
and this week NJ. w. Saxon, the secre-
tary of the committee. is lookingt after
the affairs of the party.
Last spring many independents went 70
SchenCk and asked him to be their NOM
iAee for county attorney He declined to
accept the nomination an Independent
Republican ticket. Now the Independents
are using the argument that many Demo-
Gratis who are prohibtionlsts would vote
for Stebbins if Schenck was out Of the
race.
The Democratic vote is expected to be
divided as the Republicans are working
to secure support from that party for
Nichols. Not long ago John Schmidt made
a speech at the Democratic Flambeau
club rooms in the interests of Nichols for
county attorney When Schcnck was nont-
mated some Democrats in the convention
attempted to defeat him for the nominal
ton and secure the endorsement of the
convention for Nichols.
The political situation seems to be in
something of a muddle. The Independents
and Republicans are afraid OF Schenclz
and still some members of the Democratic
party are dissatisfied with L. NJ. Pen
well, their county chairman, and the COM
plant is made that he is setting his ca }
to run for mayor next year and that lie
does not wish TO antagonize any political
element by breaking into the campaign too
strongly.
