New York World, Radical Dem.I
One of the chief reasons given by Re-
publicans of this city for their support
Of Roosevelt is his position on the money
question. That is made clear by the
answers which the World is receiving to
the note which it has addressed to the
business men who took part in the
Sound Money Parade" here in 1896,
asking them to state their present prssi-
Dental preferences.
A large proportion Of the Republicans
who have given their reasons-mors than
two-thirds SO far-have named sound
money as one of the concerns uppermost
in their minds Over one-half of the Re-
publicans put the money question above
everything else. Here are some quota
tons from answers from Republicans:
George A. Vail-Sound money and
Theodore Roosevelt.
H. H. Royce-The present administra-
ton is sound on money, Panama and
the Philippines.
r. G. Ayers and r. ]. Pennock-
Roosevelt is the only candidate who
stands for sound money, progress and
true Americanism.
Thomas J. Atkins-I am still q sound
| money man. and to be sure that will
make no mistake l shall vote for Rooss-
welt
George T. Boggs-I am still for sound
money and the policy of the present ad-
ministration a. carried out BY our Prssi-
dent.
George d. Perkins-Always sound
money. always Republican.
| William Bishop am still for sound
money and Roosevelt.
John ]. Tower-For sound money still,
l shall vote for Roosevelt.
| Tappen & Personals we believe that
sound money requires a more substan-
tial assurance than telegram from the
candidate Of great party to the effect
that the gold basis is already established
we are earnest supporters Of Roosevelt
and Fairbanks.
Henry Clews-With the Republican
party in power we are sure Of sound
money.
Frank A. Ferris-Now, as then. and
all the time for sound money, reason

trusts.
X. G. McKinney-While Judge Parker
has accepted the fact that the gold
standard is irrevocably 6xsd, his party
has not.
Thomas II. Baskerville shall vct,

reason that they believe in sound none,

simply taken up sound money for polit

One of the Call men had the pleasure

today. The general supposition has
been that a lemon tree could not en-
dure the Kansas climate. However
prevalent this idea has been in the past,
It is certainly a great mistake.
This particular tree is now three years
old. 1t is about three feet high, the
stalk or trunk being about three
fourths of an inch in diameter. Twen-
ty-one blossoms are now blooming. At
fached to each one of these are the
Small green lemons which are plainly
visible at the lower end of the bloom.
This tree is of the American Wonder
variety, and it is claimed the lemons
produced by this small piece of shrub
berry will weight at the time of ripening
not less than four pounds. As the lem

sary to top the branches occasionally,
so that that portion win not rob the
fruit of the nourishment which is so
essential to its growth. This has the
tendency to cause it to spread out, max
ang 1t very wide considering the height.
Ordinarily this variety will bear in
two years from the time of planting,
but as before stated this one is now
three years old, and is producing it's
first crop. The leaves greatly resemble
those of the rubber tree-snooth and
thick. Pressing the leaf will leave the
smell of lemon on your hands. The
blossoms throw off an odor similar to
that of a tuberose. The entire Martin

Mrs Martin informs us that from each
lemon it is possible to make twelve

that could be made from the fruit that

PRICE OF BINDING rw1NE.
Warden Jewett Says Penitentiary
Rates Are Yet Unfixed.

Leavenworth, March 2s.-Warden
Jewett says: 1.-THE news item going
the rounds that the price of binding
Irvine has been fixed for this year is
mistake. The price has not been fixed
for this season. 1t may be at the April
meeting of the board of directors, but
am not sure that it WILL
Warden Jewett also adds that the
penitentiary binding Irvine plant viii
mean a saving of 100000 to Kansas
farmers this year.
He says further: when the wheat
harvest commences we will have three
million pounds of Irvine ready to sell
to the farmers We started the plant
last year Immediately after we over
hauled it at the end of the harvest sea-
son. 1t has been running ever since.
We have enough of the raw sisal il
our warehouse to last through the
harvest season. We have received no
orders for Irvine yet, but a number of
inquiries have been made as regards
to the price.
THE saving to the farmers this year
will come in the competition we will
furnish the trusts We will sell our
Irvine one cent cheaper a pound than
we did last year. Last year we sold it
for 915 and 10 cents a pound, and tt is
year it will sell for 813 and cents d
pound. On a million pounds of Irvine
this is a saving over the price paid last
year of $40 coo and on three million
pounds it will save $500 The trusts
have to get very close to our price
They will sell in the neighborhood of
seven million pounds of Irvine in the
state"

A PENSION BY FRAUD.
Government Says Fort Scott Veteran
Served by Proxy.

Fort Scott March 29.-The story of
Joe Eller, the old soldier against whom
proceedings were commenced by the
government to inquire into his fraud
ulently getting a pension from the
government, vas not learned until
within the week, when an attorney for
Mr. Eller and the old man himself,
We're in the city. The case is TO be
tried in the United States district
court at the next term, and will be
heard by Judge Pollock.
According TO the story told by the
old man ana his attorney, he enlisted
in the late war and only served six
weeks, when he desired to return home
having received word that his folks
were sick. In order to get away from
the army he elected the services of
another man to take his place and
serve for him, while he made the trip
home. The man who substituted for
him thought Eller was coming back all
of the time, but he never showed up
again. The substitute remained with
the war until the close and received a
discharge. but it was in the name of
Eller, the substitutes real name hav-
ing never been given. Eller secured
the papers from the substitute and ap-
piled for a pension for his services. In
due course of time he was granted one.
He has been drawing this pension for
a number of years and it was only last
year that the government caused the
Investigation into the case, which re-
suited in the arrest of the old soldier
Just what caused the government to
become suspicious or learn of the facts
of the case is not known.

knows more of the business of racing.
Tichenor & Co. introduced a fast filly
in the fifth race in Voltrice, by DR.. Rice,
dam Voltfne. This miss had the out
side position in the field of fourteen, but
overcame that handicap admirably. She
raced to the front in the run around the
turn and had little trouble in keeping
a safe lead to the end. The New Or
leans FLY Pinlxie was lucky enough to
finish in the front of others. c. r. Eli
sons Lady Ellison was favorite for the
race, but Robbins was not alert enough
when the barrier was sprung and was
left at the post.
Irene Lindsey was favorite over Scor-
pio and the others engaged in the five
furlong sprint, and she won with a safe
margin. Jockey Dominick's riding was
one of the features of the day. Out of
five mounts he finished first with three
and second on another.

Court Avoids a Lottery Case

Wichita, Kas., March 29--Judge Alex
ander refused to Interfere in the case
of S. M. Stevens VS.. the Wichita Cen
trail Labor union, and threw the case
out of court on a demurrer. He took
this action because the case involved a
drawing by lottery. Stevens sued for
$500. He alleged in his petition that the
labor union owed him the money. The
case grew out of the recent musical
entertainment, to which the tickets
were sold for 10 cents each. with the
understanding that the lucky holder
would receive a house and lot or $1,000,
it's equivalent Stevens drew the lucky
number the first night, but it was
alleged that his number was substi
tute for the one really drawn and that
the man who did the drawing had
drawing was held and a Kansas city
man carried off the prize.

over all previous rerditions. The af-
ternoon concerts are of a popular ma
ture The Bethany band. the male
chorus, the chapel. and the orchestra.
together with the. soloists. appear in
the programme. Madame Lenne says
that the work of the Messiah" chorus
here is equal to that of any chorus in
the country, and that the spirit III
which the chorus sings is superior to
that shown oy any other organization
that sings the Messiah -
The singing of Madame -Lenne ACIDS
greatly to the festivities. She was re-
called at Monday afternoons concert,
which was contrary to all rules, as the
management has made the pro-
grammes SO heavy and long that en-
cores are seldom desired. The crowds
this year promise to be the largest in
the history of Bethany's oratorio. The
concerts will be continued March 30
and April 1 and 3.
