VIII Be Against Bryanfam.

NEW YORK, June 80. . Organism Twill be utterly r6pudiated in the plat form to be adopted by the Democratic national convention in St. Louis if the managers of the Parker boom have their way, and condemnation of the administration of President Roosevelt will be made the paramount issue of the Democratic campaign for the pres idency. Judge Parker's friends will hot be satisfied with mere failure to Feafirm the platforms of the Bryan years. They favor straightout dec iaration that the standard of monetary value is not political question and that the money of the nation should rest upon the safest foundation that can be devised. This means the gold standard, pure and simple

 NEW LONDON, Conn, June 3O.- The annual regatta of Harvard and Yale oarsmen scheduled for Thames course today serves to transform this old town Thousands of visitors have poured into the quaint little city, and the crimson of fair Harvard and the blue of old Yale mingle in easy style.
 The prevailing odds are on Yale at 2 to l. At one of the hotels slate of results that seemed to have some sup. porters had it that the four pared race will surely go to Harvard, that there is every prospect of a fairly stiff fight between the freshmen eights, with the probabilities in favor of Harvard and that the Yale varsity eight will win the big race after a grueEng contest.
 In the toss for positions Harvard had phenomenal luck and won all three choices. Captain Dillingham; chose the west lane for the university eight and four pared races and the east lane for the freshman event.
 The events will be roWed as follows:
 Freshmen race, two miles, from rail- road drawbridge up stream.
 Four cared race, two miles, from the navy yard up stream, immediately aft CT the freshmen race.

 "I do not know that he will accept the nomination." said MT. Woolley, ''but I believe he will. I told him I was coming to Indianapolis to assist in his nomination unless he forbade me.

DUMONT FOR PARIS
Famous Aeronaut Declined to Have Repairs Made Here.
HE WILL RETURN IN SIX WEEKS
RumOr Current on Fair Grounds That the Brazilian Could Tell Who Damaged His AfrahiD-Work
 Will Cost S5,0OO.

ST. LOUIS, June 30.-Colonel K. F. Kingsbury, commandant of the Jeffer- son guards, who has been investigat- ing the attempted destruction of the gas bag of Santos-Dumont's airship, has made his report to President Fran cis of the Louisiana Purchase exposi- ton.
 After reciting in detail the move ments of the guards during the night of June 27, when the damage was done, Colonel Kingsbury says in part:
 1T learn from Lieutenant Walsh of the secret service, who has investfgat- ed the matter thoroughly, that MT. Hudson, superintendent, spoke to MT. Dumont of the advisability of placing special watchmen over the balloon and placing the cover on the box. This MT. Dumont failed to do, only partially re- placing the cover, as he stated he de sired to get all the air possible in con- tact with the balloon.
 "One of MT. Dumonts assistants is said to carry large, strong knife. Owing to the strength of the numerous folG,- and thickness of the balloon en- velWs some such knife as this would have been necessary to cut the balloon.
 q am told that MT. Hudson stated that the balloon could be repaired here, at least temporarily, in from two to five days"
 The rumor became current in St. Louis that MT. Dumont could tell who damaged the gas bag, and statement to that effect was published in news paper. When shown this statement MT. Dumont said it was ridiculous. He said further: Tt will probably cost me $5,O00 before the damage is re- paired. I have the gas bag packed and ready to ship and will send it to Paris at once. I myself shall go to Paris and superintend the repair work'
 Professor Meyers has said he can repair the damage here Why do you not let him do it?" was asked.
 Because" replied MT. Dumont, T do not think Professor Meyers or any one else this side of Paris can make the repairs. If Professor Meyers re- pairs the bag he can so up in the ship. I will not trust myself in it.
 q shall leave all the machinery of the airship here and take only the dam aged bag to Paris. expect to return to America in about six weeks and will then make an ascension.''
 Charles F. Morrison, who was arrest ed on a charge of having cut the gas bag, has been released.

Shipping Soil from Kansas to Indiana.

Shipping Soil from Kansas to Indiana.
 One of the queerest shipments of Kan sas products that has been sent from Emporia for long time was two bushel sack full of rich Lyon county earth from Will Williamson's farm four miles west of Emporia, which was sent to a man in Indiana. The Indianian also se- cured some Kansas alfalfa seed and will experiment with that crop. The alfalfa earth is impregnated with kind of parasite which lives on alfalfa and which is a very good thing for the alfalfa, because the plant fourishes on dead parasites. The soil from the field will be scattered on the soil in which the seed is planted, thus helping the plants growth.-Topeka Capital.
