THE MASTER OF MILLIONS. :,

THE MASTER OF MILLIONS, By George 6.
Lorimer New York: Fleming H. Reyel
company. ~
DR.. Lorimer shows himself as much at
home as a writer of romance as he is in
the pulpit. The story is evolved from
the Scottish atmosphere and environage
where he first saw the light and passed
his youth. This is a novel Of nearly 500
pages octave, rather closely printed; but
the interest is fully maintained and the
climax Is disclosed slowly. 1t is the story
of the life of a Scottish lad, Dawney Mac
gillivray. who was arrested and held for
trial charged with a great robbery in Ed
inburgh, of which he was absolutely limo
cent. The cloak and a skeleton key Of
the real robber had been found in his
home, left there to facilitate the escape
of the robber. Dawney was imprisoned.
but was enabled to escape by ruse of
Angelica Rowalton, the noble gEirl he
loved. He went to London where he was
attacked in a street row and wounded a
boy in self defense, fed and embarked on
a ship for Australia. This vessel was
lost in a. storm, Macgillivray only escap-
ing, and for nearly fifty years he was re-
garded as dead by his friends at home.
Ie then turned up at Melbourne, Aus
tralfa. worth uncounted millions, and re-
solved, to go back to England and seek the
.ytndfcation he deserved from the injustice
done him. The rest Of the book Is full
Of thrilling incidents. and surprises. He
helped all his relatives and friends out
Of their financial difficulties; found out the
real culprit, for whose crime he suffered,
but refrained from giving his evidence,
because Towrie Rowaiton was the man,
and one who had married his sister He
charged him to his face with the crime
and was slain by Rowaitons Hin
du body servant and was slung by

had befriended into boiling pool
and persisted. His old love. An

An interesting point is made by Edi-
tor Atkinson of Hibbing in his ,Mesaba

that the insurgents are not only trying to
gain the governorship, but&hope. to down

It is safe to say that most of the mre-
alize it, and are in a little bit of a
quandary what to do. They want to stand
fast on the merger proposition, but for
other reasons they prefer some new can
didate to Governor Van SAINT. Some of
them are holding off in the hope of some
kind of declaration from Bob Dunn that
will nullify his pro-merger talk of last
year. Many want ne wcandidate, one
known to be free from railroad influence.

If eradicating the Northern Securities
company would end the railroad issue in

merger railroads more active in politics
than ever.

Russian officials in China, Manchuria
and Korea are attending the conference
at Port Arthur. Among them are Min
lister of War Kuropatkin. Admiral AL
exieff, the Russian ministers at Pekin

Gently Russian financial representative
at Pekin, General Dessino, the military
agent in China, the civil and military
officers at Mukden. Harbin and Kirin
and the administra tor of New Chwang.
The proceedings at the conference are
enveloped in profound secrecy. 1t is
popularity supposed that the Russian Of
ficials are considering war questions.
The foreign commercial officials at New
Chwang and Port Arthur believe that
the possibility of war is increasing
steadily. The Russian policy is believed
to be to hold the present positions in
Manchuria, including New Chwapg, and
to take no steps to avert hostility with
Japan, if 1t is assured that Japan Will
fight unaided. The war feeling among
the japanese in north China is intensi-
flying.

growing more serious in western Pei
oponesus, or Morea, south of the 18TH
mus of Corinth The peasants in the
neighborhood of Pyrgos are practically
in revolt. They have destroyed the

were prevented by troops from seizing
trains on which they wished to come to
Athens and represent their views to
the king in favor of granting a rnonop-
oily. Many of the demonstra tors at
Pyrgos are armed They are keeping

belief that the granting of the monop-

SOLD AT AUCTION.
Two Negro Harvest Hands Bid
Off at Russell.

Russell, Kan, July S.-A big crowd
witnessed the bidding off of two ne
groes on the auction block here Tues
day The auctioneer was Adam Bender
and the negroes were John and Hayes
Porter. The bidding began with rush
and the bidders contested for the men
more earnestly than is usually the case
at sales of this kind
The Porter boys had previously work
ed here and were known as hard work
ers who were stayers. After receiving a
half dozen offers to work ia the harvest
fields, they suggested that the farmers
bid for them. The first offer was 800
per day and August Reinhart closed the
sale with a bid of SO. q and he got them.
This is not the first auction of the
kind in this locality though. AT Vic
toria. Just over the line in Ellis county,
another negro asked for bids for a hand
who would pitch to the stack all of the
grain one header could cut A condition
was added that he should have the
going wages of 50 if he kept the machine
waiting as long as five minutes at any
time during the day. This negro brought
Sc per day on this condition.
Last night many men were induced
bv farmers to leave the train and stop
here for SO per day. Hands are still
scarce and grain is dead ripe.

The negotiations for the purchase of
the franchise have been in progress for
some time 1t is said that Kansas City
parties have been working up the deal.
Manager Hornaday of the league is
coming to Topeka to try to fix up the
deal. The baseball season at Nevada
has not proved to be profitable, and the
league officials are anxious to locate the
team where it will do better financially.
There was a deal on earlier in the
season for the transfer of the Pittsburg,
Kan, team to Topeka. This fell through
because a stock company was organ
lied at Pittsburg TO take the team in
hand and help it out of it's troubles.
If the Nevada team is brought to To-
peka, it is understood that the first
thing will be to make some changes in
it's membership which will put it in the
r1ort rank among the other teams Of
the league. Topeka wants a team which
can win, and if this city cannot support
a team which can beat anything in the
Missouri Valley league. it had better
quit If the Nevada team can be re-
organized with enough new material to
enable ii to clean up anything in its
class Topeka can be counted on to give
it the requisite support.
If the season opens in Topeka on July
10 which is Nevada's first home date,
the Sunday question will be settled at
the first jump. July 10 is Sunday.

the Proposed Plan.
VineWOOd May Be Selected for
the Ball Park.

In all probability, Topeka will have
a professional baseball team within the
next week. The deal has about been
closed for the transfer to Topeka of the
team which has been playing in the
Missouri Valley league at Nevada, Mo.
The first games to be played in Topeka
will probably be July 10, when lola will
be the visiting team.
The Topeka City railway Is interest
ed in the movement for a professional
team here, and is probably lending som
financial backing to the enterprise
Gus Alberts, who has been serving as
umpire in the Missouri Valley league,
seems to be slated for manager of the
team when it comes here. Alberts will
be in Topeka Thursday morning for
the purpose of consulting with the city
railway officials, and selecting the place
for the baseball park. 1t is likely that
it will be closer to the city than Vine
wood park, though the park itself has
been somewhat discussed as a possible
location.
The question of Sunday baseball will
probably again be revived. There is a
strong demand for Sunday ball in To-
peka, and there is no doubt likely to
be strong opposition to it. 1t may be
that if the baseball park is located at
Vinewood park, which is a long ways
from the city where it will disturb no
one, there will be no opposition to
Sunday baseball.
Frank Kelly, secretary of the Topeka
Railway company, said today:
1T is true that we are negotiating
for a professional baseball team for
Topeka. We have been trying hard all
summer to get a good team here. Some
one is certain to put in team before
long. There is a good opening here for
one. We are trying to get the Nevada.

a strong team. Mr. Alberts will be III
Topeka tomorrow to look over the
ground with US. I don't know where
the park will be located. The deal for
the team has not yet been closed. I
don't know who will be manager"
The Nevade. No. team may be a
good team, but it has been making a
hard fight for tail end of the Missouri

race, Pittsburg and Leavenworth being

At Camp McCutcheon Yesterday Only
So Answered at Roll Call.

Kansas City, Kan, July S.-There
were only fifty-three flood refugees at
Camp McCutcheon last night. The
number is diminishing at the rate of
two or three a day. John Mains and
son left yesterday and went to a board
ing house in the wesY bottoms. Mr..
Mains came from Osawatomie. Kan. He
is one of two men at Camp McCutcheon
who, it was thought, would need aid
after the camp was abandoned. A few
weeks ago Mr.. Mains injured his ankle
while working and has since been using
crutches. 1t developed that he had
some money and was able to care for
himself and child.
More than half of the tents in camp
were rolled yesterday to be sent back
to the Third regiment armory. There
are only forty left standing. The camp
presents far different appearance from
what it did two weeks ago.
