made permanent. The renegades
will have to hit the grit.

Over in the l.eadville, Colorado,
country a merchant has discovered
a substance he calls OIL of gold. 1t
is repr sented by him that he has
demonstrated that gold in its
original state is substance resem-
bling crude petroleum and that
when deposited by some chemical
action it becomes either gold or sill
yer according to the chemical used
in the precipitation. While there
might be something in the theory
the idea that it could not be obtain
ed by the present method of fire
assay is somewhat ridiculous For
wears there have been men who
have faxed the public and all have
been unassuming and apparently
honest fellows, but they turn out
to be the most worthless of bilks
1t was but few years ago that DR..
Emmons, of New York, made a
pretense of transmitting silver into
gold and to further the enterprise
and erect the necessary plant and
machinery company was organ
lied with a large capitalization.
This company sold hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of
shares to deluded public and
then the promoters quietly stepped
from under. Another fellow took
in the public in the old state of
Maine by process of extracting
gold from sea water He extracted
very little from the water, but got
good results from the fishes on
land. Baird, a Chicago discoverer,
was another man who could trans
mute the baser metals into that of
the precious and the poor fools that
provided the ways and means are
still mourning his departure to
other fields of usefulness. Prof.
Wynn, of Denver, could get more
gold in the residue from the mills
at Cripple Creek than old Solomon
ever dreamed Of He is dead, but
his theory is still alive. And there
are others.

The rumor is current among men
who have left Jerome that the
shutting down of the plant is but
the forstalling of the plan TO let out
the main stays of the miners union
at that place. Sometime ago it
was rumored that the union consid-
cred the proposition of a general
strike among the mine and smelter
men for an advance in wages but
for the time it was passed over
Allen, the superintendent, made an
effort to ship in Mexican labor, but
an attempt was made to blow up a
bridge on the road while the train
bearing the Mexicans was crossing
The bridge was nadly damaged
without injury to the train. At the
time it was reported that a brid e
was damaged by washout. The
company sent the Mexicans back,
knowing that bloody row would
insue if they were brought into the
camp. Now 1T is proposition to
starve the ur.ion men out, and the
smelter and mines will remain
closed down for an indefinite
period While the miners union
may be arbitrary in something's
Senator Clark should be the last
man in the world to turn organized
laborers adrift. 1t was at his re-
quest that the miners at Jerome
organized and it was he that gave
them every assistance in perfecting
the organization, but that was at
time when he was a candidate for
u. 5. Senator.

The democratic primaries were
held in this county last Saturday
and the returns as above tabuiated
tell the tale. As is usual in the
democratic primaries in this coun-
ty for many years past, the result
has not given satisfaction, especial
ly to those who were not in the run
ming One of the things that has
been clearly shown is that with a
man who was well-known to the
people Boss Feeny would have been
relegated to the hills. A summing
up Of the supervisorial vote demon
strates the fact that the people
have done with Boss Mike Scanlan,
although he was apparently given
the nomination by plurality OF
ten votes His compatriot Neal
was thrown down all along the line
by the push in their frantic efforts
to save themselves, while all people
who know the two men are aware
that Neal is far and away the best
of the bunch. For the push su-
pervisors 334 woes were cast, while
against them was cast 632 votes
This vote shows plainly what the
people think of the gang. Before
the primaries the impression pre-
vailed in some localities that Corn
wall would head the bunch, in
others that George was the man 10
do the trick, while the friends of
Kolar were very unwilling to be-
lieve that he had lost any of his
old time popularity. In the gen.
eral scramble Of the people to close
the political career of Boss Mike
they allowed their candidates to
get punched and the man who
ought to have never won race was
the winner by nose. DR.. White
side, to defeat whom the Bill Craw-
ford system was invented, won
handily, although Judge Murphy
received splendid testimonial in
his home town. Weighted down
with the endorsement Of the rat"
editor and the rat" sheet he was
up against heavy handicap. The
rat" editor pulled through under
false pretenses, having spread the
living statement broadcast through
out the county that Patsy Collins
was the candidate of Anson Fl
Smith and that he was announced
without his knowledge or consent.
At the time that he was spreading
this lie among the miners of Chic
ride Kean st. Charles knew it to
be a lie and used it to encompass
the defeat of an honorable gentle
man. Patsy Collins needs no one
TO vouch for him. He is a clean,
honest, honorable gentleman, quail
tiles that never entered into the
makeup of his traducer. Lovin.
Dickson and Lo an were voted for
and it will be noted that these men
were opposed by the "rat". Foster
Dennis is clean man and is de.
serving of the compliment paid him
by Mohave county democracy. To
sum it all up the backbone of the
p1sh was badly dislocated and in
November the dislocation will be

MANY BLuNDERS.
New Kansas Geography Is De-
cidedly Out of Date.
Population of Topeka Is Given
as 23,6O8.

Eight pages have been added to the
Natural Complete Geography, the
next text book adopted for Kansas
schools. to make it a Kansas edition 1t
is published by the american Book
company. The eight pages are devoted
to the geography of Kansas. TWO OF
them are taken up with map OF the
state and the other six are pictures and
reading matter.
While the Kansas geography is better
from some standpoints than some 9TH
ers which were prepared to cover the
same subject, it has it's errOrs-two or
three of them glaring ones There is no
excuse for errors in a school textbook in
matters over which there is no dispute
and which are matters of common
knowledge, yet this Kansas geography
contains several such.
One of the most sglaring of these err
rors is in giving the population of To-
peka which is made 10000 too small.
This is evidently typographical error,
but it is one that is inexcusable. for II
population figures are not correct there
is no excuse for publishing them at all.
The population which is taken from the
1900 census figures, gives Topeka 23,60S.
The figures should be 33. sos to conform
with the 1900 figures. The population
now is considerably larger so that these
figures teach the children of Kansas
that Topeka has about $4,000 less people
than it really has.
Another error is in enumerating the
elective state officers of Kansas. 1t
omits the superintendent of insurance
entirely, an officer who should have
been included in the list because elected
for the first time two years ago.
Another error is in teaching children
that the seven supreme court justices
hold their terms for six years, one re-
firing every two years" This is such a
manifest error that it seems hardly pos
sible that it could have crept into a
| textbook, when the fact is that two re-
| tire every second and fourth year, and
| three retire every sixth year.
| The silver smelter at Argentine is re-
ferred to as one of the most extensive of
| closed down. On the other hand, the
immense smelters at lola are barely
mentioned. paper mill at Salina is
referred to, when as a matter of fact the
| Salina paper mill ran only about SIX
months in the early nipeties, and after
turned into an ice plant and eventually
| burned down. The barbed wire factory
| at Lawrence is also mentioned among
| the states manufacturing industries, al
though it has been closed down for a
number of years.
One of the pictures in the geography
] is labeled "A Kansas Wheat Field
| Kearney County," from which a chile
/ would gather that Kearney county is q
wheat producing region. Secretary
county last year raised only 662 acres OF
| wheat with an average yield of 10 bush
els ger acre.
These are the more glarfng errors
which one finds in hastily looking
| through the six pages of reading matter
cannot help but wonder if there are as
many mistakes comparatively in thu
| balance of the book, but in that it i:
more difficult to prove the inaccuracies

KAISER GIVES A DINNER.
German Emperor Entertains Large
Party of Distinguished People.

Berlin, Sept. 9-Emperor William en-
tertained ITO guests at dinner last night
in the new palace at Potsdam. His
majesty's guests were nearly all Wis
itors who have come to attend the ma
neuvers, and included Major Generals
Henry C. Corbin and Samuel B. M.
Young and Brigadier General Wood, u.
s. A, and their aides; Lieut.. Col. ]. B.
Kerr, military attache to the United
States embassy: Commander w. H.
Beehler, United States naval attache;
Earl Roberts, ommander-in-chief of
the forces of Great Britain: Mr.. Brod
erick, British secretary of war; and the
other British generals who are here for
the maneuvers; the visiting German
princes, and the commanding generals
in charge of the maneuverS.
The empress was present sitting OPP
posite the emperor, with Earl Roberts
on her right.
After dinner the emperor mingled
freely with his guests and engaged the
American generals in a half hours con-
versation. He again expressed his very
high appreciation of the manner in
which his brother. Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia had been treated in
the United States; spoke of his admira-
ton for President Roosevelt. and said
he fervently thanked God for having
spared the life of the president at the
time of the Pittsfield accident Electric
cars, continued his majesty, are the en-
emies of humanity.
Emperor William discussed the posi-
D1nuy OF MS VISITING America some day.
This idea evidently presents great at
fractions for him, but he added regret
fully:
II fear can never realize that dream -
Commander Beehler was invited to
| the dinner, although he does not attend
| the maneuvers, because Emperor VIII
| liam wanted to bid him farewell before
his return to the United States next
month The emperor has presented
| Commander Beehler with a large photo
orr nh he inc hiG or,11
pressed his regret at the recall of the
American naval attache. He asked him
| what new thing he had heard about the
| German navy and to this Commander
| Beehler replied:
1.-The fog signals for vessels which in
dictate the direction in which the ships
| are moving; they ought to be introduced
| into all navieS."
A special train bore his majesty's
guests from Berlin to Potsdam, return
| ing to Berlin at 10 o'clock.

The system of giving transfers on the
street cars has been put in force this
week by the street railway company.
All transfers are made at the transfer
! station for the present however The
routes of the cars have been changed
for this week, with the idea in view of
| giving two and one-half minute service
! to the fair grounds. All the Garfield
park cars carry trailers and run south
to the fair grounds from the transfer
station instead of going west on Eighth.
The Potwin cars take care of the West
Eighth avenue service. and the South
Topeka cars run only between the
| transfer station and the fair grounds.
The double track which has been built
On South Kansas avenue with the loop
| at Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets
and the fair grounds will allow of run
ming cars to the fair every two and a
half minutes, or oftener if the traffic
demands.

UNIONS IN LAWRENCE.
Much Enthusiasm and General Move

Such a wave of unionism has struck the
town of Lawrence as result of two meet
ings held there by c. E. Ceilley, the Tope-
ka organizer for the American Federation
of Labor, that it is probable every trade
in that city will be organized within the
next few weeks. Mr.. Ceilley was in Law
renee Monday night and this morning said
that the meeting held there was most en-
thusiastic. A charter is being secured for
the retail clerks and a sufficient number
of names has been obtained to institute or
ders of the hod carriers and mortar mix
Mr. Ceilley says that in his opinion there
will be IL or more new unions in that town

arranged to go down there every Monday
or Tuesday evening and appear before the
trades unionists in the interests of organi-
zation.

A considerable acreage of wheat will
be sown here this fall Some farmers
are already busy putting it in. Most OF
the seed is being bought of farmers in
this locality who held it over from last
year. But little new wheat is of good
enough quality to be used as seed.
New corn is now being placed on the
market in small quantities and farmers
who paid 20 or so cents for corn a few
months ago are now selling it at 35
cents. But, as local philosopher re-
marked, doing business this way is all
that can keep the Kansas farmer out Of
Wall street.
