APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT
Norwegians Want Him to Recognize
the New Government.

Washington, June 14-Norwegian
residents of the United States have
appealed to President Roosevelt for
mally to recognize the new govern
ment of their country. Senator Dol
liver of Iowa called on the president
today and presented to him a memo
rial adopted by the delegates to the
Norwegian musical festival recently
held at Fort Dodge, Iowa, urging
him to recognize the diplomatic and
consular officers appointed by Nor
way. If the president should accede
to this request it would mean the
recognition of the new government by
the United States. It may be several
weeks before a determination of the
question will have to be made. It is
the understanding here that Norway
will ask recognition as nation from
all the civilized countries of the world.
So far as can be ascertained, no pro-
test yet has been made to this gov
ernment by Sweden against the recog-
milton of Norway, but it is believed
not unlikely that such a protest will
be made.

l25 DIE IN A WEEK.
Alarming Increase in Death Rate
From Heart Disease in New York.

New York, June 14.-An alarming in
crease in the deaths from heart disease
presented by last weeks mortuary sta
tisties for this city has led to a com
parisOn of data which shows that since
1868 the annual death rate here from
heart failure and Bright's disease has
grown from 1906 to 1882 per 10, 900 pop
ulation. This increase is considered
alarming by authorities on the subject
and is emphasized by the fact that 125
persons died last week from organic
heart disease, when the rate the corFe-
spending week in 1904 was only Sc.
Strain of business and the cares at
tendant on fierce competition of the
financial center of the city and the worry
attendant on anxiety to gain wealth are
given as an explanation by physicians.
To put their explanation briefly. they
declare the figures noted prove beyond
doubt that residents Of New York are
living too rapid lives. Some of them
say one person in hundred exam
ined has organic heart trouble and the
other 90 have stomach affections, the
latter being due to rapid eating.

An Expert Authority Sets That Figure

makes this statement Of the bushels OF
wheat for 1905
Mr.. Jolley is in close touch with the
wheat situation al all times. His views
are based on his own travels and cor
respondents and upon personal repre-
sentatIveS who drive through the coun-
try from the railroads and do not base
thelr case from the car window alone
IN connection with the current trip
OF the mIllerS through the southwestern
Kansas wheat belt Mr.. Jolley says: To
Our Miller Friends"
We give you a few Iigures showing
the acreage and yield in the counties
trayersed for the previous two years,
ana also the acreage for the present
year as returned by the assessors March
1st. These figures show the acreage IN
these counties to be about one-thfrd Of
the total acreage OF the state and the
yield about 40 per cent. The present
crop conditions in these counties is
about an average one, with the excep-
ton of Reno, SedgWick and Sumner
counties, which are somewhat below
the average, both in acreage and
condition. This, however is more than
overcome by the increased acreage and
improved conditions in other portions
of the state.
From present indications the general
belief seems to be that Kansas this year
will harvest a crop well-nigh Sc, 600, 600
bushels

WFTTE TAKES GLOOMY view.
SAYS He Doesn't Expect to Have Any
thing to De With Peace Negotiations.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE Slovo
this morning published a remarkable
sensational interview filled with the
glOOmiest fOrbOdings with NJ. Witte,
president of the committee of min
isters- The Russian statesman's name
is not mentioned but the veil of his
identity can be pierced by the veriest
tyrO He evidently spoke with the
profound conviction that the affairs of
state are going from bad to worse and
under personal irritation produced by
the intrigues which compel him to sit
idle during the present crisis. Every
word was black with pessimism. The
statesman made it clear that Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff for one opposes
his having anything to do with the
peace negotiations
Asked concerning the report that he
is going abroad charged with a mis-
sion in regard to the negotiations for
peace M Witte replied, his words be
ing given literally as they contain
much hidden meaning:
mo. / certainly will not go on such
mission, for three reasons. The last
of them is that I shall do everything
to avoid it. Even if the rumor Of
IamsdOrff's resignation is true, which
insist is not the case, the main sit
uation would not be changed and the
first and third reasons would hold
for me.
Nothing that Russia has gone
through is surprising. I gave warning
:
Rojestvensky's squadron would reach
WladiVOstOk. In a word, Justly
earned the designation of q croaking
raven. do not see that affairs have
yet taken turn which makes my ser
vices desirable. J viii say more-eVen
now, I cannot observe a definite de-
sire to change the direction of the

stream remains the same. Only the
obstacles in its path grow more
numerous and fOaming RAPIDS Indicate
the danger points.
"As for peace, Japan will not even
be willing to discuss q basis which
would insure peace for at least so
years. Her conditions doubtless have
also considerably increased. She will
on her own soil without mediators
with a person whom Russia will
clothe with special powers. Herein
lies the real source of the rumors
originating in the Berlin and London
cabinets about my trip.
yes. there is truth in what you saw
but you see different estimate is put
upon the men abroad People there
are better informed and appreciate
more clearly the conditions prevailing
in Russia than we do here
Russia could prolong the war for
five years in the hope of coming out
victorious were it not for the events
in the interior to which they are clos
ing their eyes and stopping their ears
and trying to know nothing about.
Here lies the horror of the present
situation in Russia, Every hour of de-
lay is fraught with danger.

The population Of the city of Topeka,

The gain is 1926 and for the first time a

However, the population as returned
by the assessors is considered low by
those who have had charge of the

situation. Both Captain H NJ Philips,
who had charge of the assessors in the
