The little volume compiled from
the work of the late Harmon D.

in Topeka is out. tits undoubtedly
the handsomest book ever issued in
Kansas. 1t has 224 pages printed
on extra quality paper in large clear
type and with wide margins. The
cover, done in red and gilt, is a
particularly artistic piece of work.
The selection in the book are some
of "The Troubles of Worried Man,"
IS or 20 of the "Ornery Boy
sketches, a few remarks by 1.-THE
Hon. Timothy Tugbntton," the
Sweed dialect sketches and the best
of Wilson's verse. Albert T Reid
contributed four full page drawings
and number of marginal illustra-
ton, and Wilson Allen White wrote
the introduction. There is else a
character sketch of Wilson written
by !. E. House. The book should
be in library ofall Kansans, NOT only
because of its intrinsic merit, but be-
cause it is a Kansas production
throughout. Wilson was native
Kansan, the introduction and charac-
ter sketch were written by Kansas
men, the drawings were made by a
Kansas artist, and the work was done
in Kansas printing Office. Orders
sent to J. E. House will be promptly
filled. The price of the book is 81

A LOST CAUSE.
BUTCHER WoRKMEN'S STRIKE
FUND is EXHAUSTED.
Request Made by Allied Trades coun-
ell for a Conference with the
Owners of Packing Houses
Was Refused.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Appllcation was
made to the packers by the stock
yards strikers yesterday for confer
ence, the purpose being to bring about
peace in the industrial conflict waging
at Packingtown. The conference was
refused by the packers.
The application came in the form of
communication from the Allied
Trades Council and was signed by
President Carr, of the allied trades.
The request was sent Immediately af-
ter the close of a joint meeting of the
national executive board of butcher
workmen and the allied trades con-
ference board and was addressed to
j. Ogden Armour and his associates.
Mr. Armour, upon receipt of the com
munication, at once called the heads
of the other big packing plants into
session. When the meeting of the
packers ended communication was
addressed to President Donnelly and
his associates declining the confer
ference the strikers had asked for.
With the strike relief funds depict
ed and crowds of hungry men vainly
scrambling for food at the commits
sary stores, it taxed the labor leaders
yesterday to find way to prevent
stampede from the union ranks.
Wal until tomorrow and we shall
present to the packers a peace pro-
posal which they cannot decline to &C
cept" they told the men.
There is nothing left for the men
but unconditional surrender" said a
packer "The leaders should not hesi-
tate in calling the strike off so that
the men who are anxious to do so
could find work. Many of them will
be rehired in Packingtown, but there
are thousands who must look else
where for employment and they
should be released so they can hunt
for work outside the stock yards"
A development of the day was the
walking out of 200 employees at plant
of the American Can Co.. they being
ordered to quit because the company
was furnishing cans to the packers.
Investigations are making at the other
Chicago factories of the company.

THE CLOSEST SINCE 1898.
Chairman BabcocES Talks About the
Congressional Campaign Now in
Proqress.

Chairman Babcocl< Talks About the
Congressional Campaign Now in
Progress.
Washington, Aug. SO.-Chairman
Joseph W. Babcock, of the republican
congressional committee, yesterday
expressed the opinion that the present
is the closest congressional campaign
he has experienced since 1898.
what are the conditions which
make the congressional campaign
closer this year than it has been since
1882" Mr.. Babcock was asked.
"They differ in localities" he re-
sponded. I'm some the conditions re-
suit from the character of the national
campaign. In others the conditions
are almost entirely local. Then, in
some cases, the difficulty is over the
kind of men nominated for congress.
In Nebraska, whore there are six
members of the house to fight for, the
democrats have abandoned the ma
tional campaign. They have fused
with the populists on the legislative
and congressional tickets, but not on
presidential electors.
Nearly all the congressional dis
IIiSIo III llS oIdIe SiiS ClOSe. VIC lS-
deemed four of those districts two
years ago, but they have been going
one way or the other by very narrow
margins, in some Instances by IL or Is
or 20 votes.
There is not much interest in cam
paign literature. We are sending out
speeches ON the tariff and some mat
ter relating to the Panama canal;
also a few democratic speeches, like
that of Bourke Cochran on the tariff.
But we have not had a real campaign
of education since 1898.
1--WE expect to have a good deal of
speaking. There are about a dozen
of the sleading republican members of
the house on whom we are relying"
