Strange Story from Topeka.

A Topeka man who has been draw
ing pension for IL years recently
wrote to the pension Office, volun-
tarily surrendering his claim, and
asking that the regular quarterly
payments be stopped. He explained
his action by stating that he has be-
come a convert to Christian science;
that he drew his pension because of
alleged rheumatism and alleged stom-
ach trouble; but since becoming a
scientist he has been convinced that
there is no such thing as rheumatism
or stomach trouble, and that he ''has
no right to take money from the
government on account of a cause
which does not exist
Is Old Soldiers Home an AImshOusef
All the old veterans in the national
soldiers home at Leavenworth, num-
bering over 5000, with the exception
of the few who may go home for the
purpose, will vote this year in Leav-
enworth county. There is some talk
that the democrats may test the
validity of the law permitting the
old soldiers to vote in Leavenworth
county under the provision of the
constitution denying franchise to in
mates of ANY almshouse or other
asylum maintained at public expense

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
IRON MARKET REVIEW

The local iron market was very quiet
last week. The great scarcity of unsold
iron leaves almost none for sale for
nearby delivery.
Extracts from Rogers, Brown & Co.'S
circular OF yesterdays date follow:
acknowledgements OF pig iron who
based their calculations on an increased
production during this season of the year
have been greatly disappointed, but not
more 50 than the producers of rig iron
themselves. In addition to the anthracite
strike In the East, which has caused
many of the furnaces there to bank. and
the strikes In the Pocahontas and New
River districts, which have shut down
number of furnaces and will by the end
Of this week close several more. there is
n very unsatisfactory condition In the
South, where coke is so scarce that pro-
duction of pig iron is considerably limit
ed Thus far the South has escaped the
annoyance of any general strike of coal
m.ners hut tho resources of the coke
companies are inadequate to the situa-
tion.
Pittsburg -Orders for the first half of
next year continue to come In moro freely
than ever. In the meantime we hear on
sill sides complaints from foundries that
shipments are more and more delayed.
and at the moment we Know of three ex-
ceptionally large consumers being shut
down for want of metal. Strange TO say.
no grea. advantage Is taken of this con-
ditioE b. those having prompt iron to
deliver, and the prices going are only a
few shades over next years figures.
We are pleased TO note that what looked

like trouble with the local moulders has
teen amicably adjusted at an advance Of
20 cents per day in effect until July, 1908.
Philadelphia-This has been the coolest
and most bracing June we have had in
years, and 1t is pity that the coal
strike occurred at this time. Orders for
foreign iron have been freely placed this
week and some large sales of chilled
basic metal have been made by nearby
and also Virginia furnaces for shipment
commencing next October. November or
December. No. 2 coke foundry iron Is
selling on the basis of $3.50 delivered at
Philadelphia or nearby points. New GUS
toners are appearing for basic pig, mill
Torn and much bar and it is a wonder
where all of the iron Is to come from to
meet the country requirements
st. Louis-The brisk demand for spot
iron to be used in place of other iron I'M
der contract but not on hand, has pushed
up prices another 800 per ton within
the past week
Nineteen dollars Birmingham basis for
No. foundry Is now offered for early
delivery, and $3.50 Birmingham basis on
contracts for later delivery is the prevail
ing price.
Ohio iron has entirely disappeared from
the market, many Ohio furnaces being
banked or out of blast on account of the
scarcity of coke, caused by the coal min
ers strike in West Virginia, which has
not yet reached a settlement
Southern iron is in limited supply, and
offerings with a reasonable assurance of
immediate shipment are promptly ac-
cepted.

there have been approaching the Presi-
uent many distinguished statesmen anu
others whose lives 1t Is now thought
have been in actual peril
| One Of the chief features Of the re-
| modelled White House will be the extern
sion from the main building Of two ter
races. one east and one west, and the
construction at the END of the east ter
race of porte cochere, which win be
used for public receptions. As this east
terrace will be 100 feet long, It will afford
shelter for the department guests at
the White House. which has thus far
been decidedly lacking
The west terrace will extend over the
space now occupied by the conservatory
and during the temporary arrangement
will communicate directly with the office
building of the President.
The cost Of these changes, which will
be more restorative than radical. will be
about $4,000.
