No one pretends that there has been

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

The reading public has been aware for
a long time that something out of the
ordinary was going on in Wall street.
but perhaps few have known what it
MAS or what it meant. The latest issue
IF the Financial Review throws some
light on the matter in the following:
"A decided change for the better has
taken place in the stock market, and
the sharp rise which started on Thurs
day quickly dispelled the wave of des-
pondency that threatened the whole
business community only a few days
ago. So sudden a change was of course
largely due to manipulation based upon
the change of position by some of the
big operators who exerted such severe
and persistent pressure upon the mar
ket for weeks past. being assisted by an
organized effort to check and punish the
er-aggressive bears. 1t Is Of course
impossible to learn whether the market
leaders have fully accomplished their
purpose or not The presumption is that
they have. or the market would not
have been allowed to recover in .he
rampant fashion that it has done. 1t is
quite certain that the decline of the last

Oyster Bay. L. l., Aug. 1S.-It is an

able to attend the first of the interna-

next Thursday. Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss
Alice Roosevelt and two or three friends
will witness Thursdays races from the
deck of the Mayfiower- They will be

Admiral Dewey left on the Mayfiower
presumably for New York, although the
precise destination of the ship was not
disclosed. Nothing is known here con-
corning the whereabouts of the torpedo
boat destroyers f1otilla, three of the
vessels of which were injured during the
maneuvers. Admiral Dewey ordered the
squadron to the New York navy yard
for repairs but they evidently did not
proceed directly to the yard. What has
caused the delay is not known. No APP
prehension is felt for them, however.
New York, Aug. Sat 1880 p. m. the
three injured destroyers had not reach

EASTERN men 0. K.
They Fill the Bill in Graham
County.

Not all of the eastern harvest hands
who came to Kansas turned out poorly.
In fact, it is probable that most of them
made good harvest hands, but the ones
who did not and who funked, made so
much noise about it when they started
home and in writing east that the inn
preston got out that the eastern men
were not much good as harvest hands.
T. B. Gerow director of the state free
employment bureau, has just received a
letter which is giving him considerable
consolation along this line. The fact that
some of those whom he sent TO the har-
vest fields hunked on the work and then
abused the farmers on account Of it,
rather worried him. He did not like TO
have the impression get abroad that the
were not well treated. Consequently
when a letter came telling how much
the eastern men enjoyed the work he
was greatly pleased.
The letter is from P. A. Meyers, coun-
ty clerk of Graham county, and is there
fore authentic. Mr.. Meyers says:
Il have been very much interested in
the accounts published in the Topeka
State Journal of the failures of the east
ern harvest hands that were imported
to help take care of our immense har-
vest. On or about the 18th of last month
1 received a letter from you asking If we
were in need of any help in the harvest.
and l wrote that in my opinion we
could use so extra men.
"A few days later 1 received your tele-
gram stating that there would be mine
men on the evening train. Instead of
nine there were twelve. The next MORN
ing they appeared upon our streets and
began to inquire for work. To look at
them one would suppose they would not
make very suitable harvest hands, but
the people were impressed with their
willingness to try, and by the next
morning they were all at work at S. SO
per day.
While every paper one picks up has
some roast for the eastern harvest hand
I must in all fairness say that they have
been a decided success here. With the
exception of two or three who were
overcome with the heat, they have stood
the work fine. Some of them were from
New York city and never saw a wheat
field, but they were not one bit slow to
catch on. and are now hired out to diff
ferent threshing crews, and they tell me
that they like the work all right. When
they came their hands looked as if they
never knew the word labor, and yester-
day the captain of the company was
showing me his hands and they were
like an old farmers hands. I hope that
if ever we are in need of any outside
help 1t will be our good fortune to Sc E
cure as good help as we did this sum-

THAT MANUAL SCHOOL
Work on the Plans Is Now Being
Done.

J. c. Holland, the architect, Is at work
upon the plans for the new manual
training high school. which are being
drawn, with the advice of Superintend-
ent w. NJ. Davidson and Principal L.
d. Whittemore, with special reference
to the probable demand that will be
made upon the institution. A trip pro-
posed to be made by Mr.. Holland with
Superintendent Davidson to Indianapo-
lis to examine manual training school
buildings has been deferred until after
the preliminary plans for the new build
ing here have been made. 1t will be
necessary to keep the cost of the new
building and its equipments within the
reach of the purse of the city. With
preliminary outline of the construction
the architect will be enabled to more in
diligently finish the plans after visiting
the large manual training high schools
referred to.
With the expectations that there will
be a large immediate demand upon the
cooking and woodworking departments
of the new high school special allow
ances of floor space will be made for
them 1t is now the idea to place the
forge and foundry in a small separate
building on the rear part of the new
lots purchased for the high school. Mr..
Holland is also favorable to the erection
of a separate heating plant to warm
both schools. This matter will be take
up by the board of education at an
early meeting.

MISSOURI MOVES ON.
River Is Making Trouble for the
Santa Fe.

1t is reported that the Santa Fe is
having some trouble with the Missouri
river several miles east of Kansas City
During the recent flood the rock which
protected the roadbed which runs
along the bank of the river at that
point was washed away, and since then
the track has had no protection. Dur
ing the last few days it has been no
ticed that the water is slowly eating its
way in towards the track. and at one
time there was some fear that the
water would get the better of the rail-
road company before repairs could be
made. Htrr fs sf-
1t is not thought now, l1owevef that
there will be any serious results as the
road has started the work of replacing
the rock which was washed away by
the flood. The water is now abont $50
feet from the tracks. and even if no
action was taken to prevent it would
take some time for the water to wash
away the remaining dirt.
The Santa Fe has had some trouble
at this place heretofore on account of
the river changing its course, but on
account Of the rock filling there vas
no fear of it's ever reaching the tradxs.
The present trouble is of a much mare
serious nature, however, en- account of
the absence of the rock.

RIGHT ON THE BRIDGE.
North Topeka Would Have Street
Railway Use It.

In North Topeka Monday evening the
business men held a meeting at fire
station No. 1. 1t was one of the reg
ular meetings at which the affairs of the
North side have been discussed. The
most important thing taken up was the
North Topeka street car situation which
has already been the subject of more
resolutions than any other one matter.
1t is now proposed to secure for the To-
peka Railway company a right of way
over the Melan arch bridge for a period
of one year during which the street car
company can be building a steel Struc-
ture across the river. County Commits
sioner S. H. Haynes, who was present,
people failed to take the matter up
when the new approach was being built
for the bridge. At that time there was
a sentiment favorable to the proposition
but it is doubtful now if either the city
council or the board of county COM
missioners would agree to it,
A committee composed of J. d. Hath
away, Thomas Page, A NJ. Baird, J. A.
Lukens and Frank Petro was appointed
to confer with officials of the Union
Pacific relative to securing the construc-
ton of an embankment in the Union

as to divert the water which is now
drained into the North Topeka lakes,
into the Kansas river. The hole
through which this water comes Is

BOY FOUND MURDERED.
Hands Tied and Handkerchief
Stuffed Down His Throat.

Detroit. Mich, Aug 1S.-The mutt
lated body of 4-year-old Alphonse
Wilmes, whose father lives on st.
Aubin avenue, was found today in the
rear of the Michigan Stove works. The
hands were tied behind with wire and
a red handkerchief had been stuffed
down the boys throat for gag. All
the wounds have apparently been made
with some very sharp instrument.
Alphonse had been missing from his
home yesterday.
Perhaps the strangest phase of the mys-
terry is that there were only few small
stains of blood on the body and clothing
of the lad despite the horrible character
of his wounds. 1t looks though the
murderer. after committing the deed,
washed the blood from the body and then
carried it to the lot where it was found.
The police are Investigating.
