Location of X. n. G. Encampment
still Under Amusement.

The place Of holding the state
militia encampment has not yet been
decided uopn. but Governor Bailey
and Adjutant General Kelsey are
meeting with representatives from the
passenger departments of some of the
railroads this afternoon to talk over
the transportation question and figure
where the encampment can be held
to best advantage from the transpor-
tation standpoint
The item of transportation will be
one of the heaviest expenses of the
state in connection with the encamp-
ment. and it is therefore receiving
careful consideration from the gov
ernor.
Topeka, through the street railway
company. has offered a camping
ground near Vinewood park for the
encampment. 1t is said to be the
finest ground for the purpose in the
state.
The encampment will, in all proba-
bility. commence on Monday, August
16 and viii last ten days At least
that is the present calculation.

TO FINISH IN JULY.
Last Years Delayed Paving Is Near
ing Completion

Good weather has been helping the
pavement men to make progress with
their long delayed contracts, and City
Engineer J. F. McCabe now estimates
that by the end of July all the last
years contracts will be cleaned up,
and the contractors will be ready to
begin on fresh work.
But the contractors time expires on
July /, so it is likely that on that date
they viii apply to the city council for
another 30-day extension In time
J. H. Maxwell the man who got all
the grading contracts last year, will
finish up his last seasons contracts by
July 1, weather permitting. He is
now working on his last piece of 1903
contract. This is Jackson street
from Tenth to Twelfth He has near
" finished Eleventh from Quincy to
Van Buren,.
Ramsey & Ramsey are still consid-
erably behind, but claim that it is all
due to the wet weather, which has
held back the grading. They now
have practically all of their brick on
the ground, and are rapidly putting it
into place. The work on Fourth
street is delayed by the street car
company, which has failed to put in
its macadam next to its tracks. The
block on East Seventh is graded, and
the brick is ready. Brick is now be-
ing hauled to Eleventh street. The
curbing for Tyler street, which was
short, has now arrived in town, and
that long delayed street will be fin
iShed up at once.

GOOD PROSPECT IN ELLIS.
David Brobst Says Wheat Yield VIII
BE Large.

David Brobst of Hays City is in To-
peka today and visited with Hill p.
Wilson, assistant secretary of state.
Mr.. BrObst SAYS that while the aggre-
gate yield of wheat in Ellis county
will not be as large as last year. there
are some individual fields which are
better than last year and the average
yield per acre will not be far behind
a year ago.
There are some localities in Ellis
county where the wheat is said to be
the best ever raised in the county, and
there are other places where it is not
as good as last year, but on the aver
age we have good wheat On ground
that was Dlowed last fall the crop is
all right, but there was a good deal
that was sown in stubble and much of
that was ploWed up. This makes the
acreage considerably lass than last
year"
Mr.. Brobst says that the new mill
of the Yost Milling company at Hays
City will be completed about July 1,
in time to start in on the new crop.
It is the largest mill in that part of
the state, having capacity of six
hundred barrels a day. Last fall the
old mill Of the company burned.
The harvest in Ellis county will
begin about ten days earlier than last
year. according to Mr.. Brobst. Some
of the farmers will probably begin
cutting their grain about July 1.

NOTHING WRONG.
But Third Assistant Postmaster GEN

Washington, June 21.-The report of
Assistant Attorney General Robb, on
the investigation of alleged irregulari-
ties in the bureau of Third Assistant
Postmaster General Edward G. Madden
in connection with the printing and
disposition of specimen postage stamps
has been submitted to the president.
1t finds nothing improper in Mr.. Mad
denis conduct and says the practice of
the gratuitous distribution of a limited
number of these books has obtained in
the postofice department ever since
postage stamps were first printed. The
report recommends that the practice be
discontinued as it is theoretically
wrong from an administrative pointTpf
view"

On the testimony of MIR. Perdicarfs
himself, his abductor. RaisuI. is a very
charming sort OF person. The genial
and appreciative captive says of the
distinguished bandit: Another start
ling surprise was to find in Raisuli
himself the most interesting and kind
hearted native gentleman it has been
my good fortune to have known. 1t is
impossible not to like the man" The
Montana bandit appears to be much
the same sort of person. We are told
that on the occasion of a recent train
robbery one of these gentlemen acct
dentally struck one Of the trafnmen
with his revolver and followed with a
prompt apology. Is the much abused
bandit about to he given that place in
society, which belongs to a true gentle
man, and which has hitherto been de-
MED him by all except the poets and
the story writer? Raisuli seems to be
like Byron's ''Giaour." as mild a
hammered man as ever cut a throat OF
scuttled ship"
