ROOT TURNS 1T. DOWN.
Secretary of War Says Friars the Phil
ippines Must All Go at Date to
Be Agreed Upon.

Washington, July 13.-Mr. Root,
secretary of war, before leaving for
Oyster Bay, sent a cablegram to Gov.
Taft at Rome instructing him to in
form the vatican that the PROPOSE
ton to have the friars gradually
withdrawn from Manila and sup
planted by priests from other coun-
tries could not be accepted by this
government. The cableSram was
practically in form of an ultimatum,
notifying the vatican that the United
States would agree to no PROPOSE
ton which did not provide for the re-
moval from the islands of all the
Spanish clergy, at a date to be agreed
upon. Unless this proposition is &C
cepted it is probable that the ne
gotiatiOns will be broken off.

THAT McPher.on Case.

One of the most mysterious trag-
edies ever known in Kansas was the
shooting of Miss Maude Holmes at
the home of her father, near Galva,
in Mcpherson county, the other
night. Miss Maude is modest and
popular, and her parents are among
the best respected of the county's
population. She went to her room
for the purpose of retiring. She was
standing at a mirror arranging her
hair, when some one fired a charge
of shot through the window, wound
ing her dangerously about the head,
face and shoulders. For several
months she has been receiving let
tiers, all written in the same hand,
but signed by different names, from
a dozen different post Offices. The
letters were ardent in expressing love
for the young lady, but there was
nothing about them which would
make the sender liable for a misuse
of the mails or which was threaten
ing in its character. A sensation
was created in the neighborhoOd
when DR.. Ryno, a wealthy neighbor
of the Holmes, was arrested for the
crime. DIR. Ryno is married and has
lived near Galva for 25 years. 1t is
claimed that the handwriting of the
strange letters sent to Miss Holmes
is like DIR. Ryno's.

WILD OVER KITCHENER.
In London Tens of Thousands Cheered the
Man Who Brought Victory to
British Arms.

London, July 14.-Lord Kitche-
her arrived at the Paddington rail-
way station Saturday and was
greeted by cheering crowds. The
prince of Wales welcomed Lord
Kitchenener at Paddington, where an
address was presented to the gen
eral.
Lord Kitchener reached London at
1913 p. M, and his progress through
the metropolis was one of the most
memorable of the many remarkable
OF the past three years. The small
procession of carriages containing
the general and his staff, in simple,
serviceable veldt dress, lacked spec
tacular features, but evidently the
crowd was there in its tens of thou
sands to see the man of the hour and
not the pageant. From the moment
he set foot in London to the time of
his disappearance beneath the portal
of ST. James palace, Kitchener re-
ceived such an outburst of popular
enthusiasm as quite overshadowed
the demonstrations on previous and
similar occasions.

HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS.
In Des Moines Many Flood Sufferers Beg
fur Food-Epidemic OF Fever
Feared.

Des Moines, Ia, July 12.-Hundreds
If homeless flood sufferers spent the
night in schoolhouse yards and in
downtown parks without so much as
a blanket to cover them. Some had
to beg for food, although every pos
sible effort is being made to provide
for them. The charitable societies
and city officials are becoming better
organized and it is believed the wants
will be generally met.
Neither the Des Moines nor the
Raccoon rivers have receded percep-
tibly. The net decline since the high
est point was reached yesterday is
but two or three inches and the Des
Moines actually rose half inch dur
ing the night. 1t is believed the sit
uation in the flooded district can not
be materially relieved for several
days and that when the water finally
reaches it's former channel, an cpl
demic of malaria and typhoid will
prevail. An estimate of the damage
at this time is practically impossible
It is expected to reach 100000.

Latest Kansas Events.
Cannot Go Behind Returns.

In district court at Lawrence Judge
c. a. Smart denied the application OF
]. L. Brady for a writ of mandamus
to compel the county contest beard
to recount the ballots cast at the
republican primary convention ON
June 6. Judge G. j. Barker had been
declared the republican nominee for
representative from the Thirteenth
district but it was afterward learned
that a mistake had been made in
casting up the totals in one precinct
which, if corrected, would give Brady
the nomination. Mr.. Brady then
brought his mandamus action to
compel the board to go back of the
convention and count the votes cast
at the primary. 1t IVES this the
judge refused to order, holding that
when the contest board had rendered
its decision it has no further powers
in the case; that the decision of the
board was final; that even if the
board could go behind the convsn-
ton the ballots alleged to have been
cast had no integrity and value as
evidence, having been in no ones es-
pecial charge since election.

NO DISCRIMINATION MADE.
Secretary Root Shows There Is No At
tempt to Have Only Protestant Teach
ers in the Philippine Schools.

Washington, July rs Secretary
Root has addressed an initial letter
to persons complaining that teachers
in the Philippines have been proselyt-
ing and attempting to convert Cath
olics to the Protestant faith. A dis
patch received from Gov. Wright at
Manila says that the charges made
by the Catholic Times are unbound
ed in every essential particular and
that it is untrue that nearly all the
American teachers are Protestant
preachers and proselyters. Secretary
Root says: cit is the purpose of the
Philippine government to maintain
in the archipelago the, same kind of
free non-sectarian instruction which
exists in the United States and which
has proved to be for the interest of
religion and all religions. The gov
eminent means, so far as it possibly
can, to give education to the people
of the island and it will do this with
out any discrimination for or against
any church or sect"

TO PHOTOGRAPH THE AIR.
Commissioner of Streets In Greater New
York VIII Adopt New Scheme to
Find Microbes.

New York, July 14.-New terrors
will be added to life in the interest
of health, if the experiment on which
John NJ. Woodbury., commissioner of
street cleaning, is engaged, shall
prove successful. The commissioner,
with view to locating microbes and
thereby removing their cause so far
as possible, has conceived the idea
of photographing the atmosphere
which circulates in the streets of
New York. By means of the photo
graphs it is hoped the department
will be able to analyze and ultimate
ly to regulate the condition of the
atmosphere just as thoroughly and
beneficially as is done at present
with the water supply. The exact
conditions prevailing in different
parts of the city will be known to a
nicely, and where unhealthy symp-
toms are revealed in any neighbour
hood, it may be possible to counter
act their influence before they make
themselves unduly apparent in the
illhealth of the residents.

Book Company Restrained.

Proceedings were instituted in the
supreme court to enjoin the Ameri
can Book company from transacting
any business in Kansas. The grounds
are that the company has not COM
piled with the foreign corporation
law of Kansas by making annual re-
ports. A temporary restraining or
der was issued, but no date was fixed
for a hearing. The American Book
company recently received contracts
to supply about 60 per cent. of the
textbooks to the schools of Kansas
for the next five years. The books
must be ready for delivery at the
beginning of the schools in Septem-
Der. The supreme court does not
hold another session until October.
Unless some provision is made to
hear the case in vacation the COM
pany will be placed in an embarrass-
ing position, as it cannot supply the
books on or before September with
out violating the supreme courts in
junction.

1t Is All Contracted For.

There is an uninvested balance in
the state permanent school fund of
nearly 100000, but bonds have al
ready been contracted for by the
state school fund commissioners to
cover the entire amount. The great
er part of the bonds contracted for
are refunding bonds to take up rail-
road aid securities. During the boom
days practically every county in the
state foated railroad aid bonds at
high rates of interest. These are
now coming due and they are being
refunded at lower rates of interest,
thus effecting a saving to the peo-
pie In addition, quite a number of
schoolhouses are being built and
bonds must be issued to pay for their
construction.
