WICHITA Man AFTER II.
Gets Inside Track in Contest to Fur
nish Kansas Silver Service.

Governor Hoch discovered this morn
ing that the resolution passed at the
last session of the legislature for the
purpose of silver Service for the bat
tleship Kansas did not specify who
should attend to the buying of the sill
verware.
The governor Immediately summoned
a meeting of the executive council, and
ter explaining that he had been go
{ ahead with some negotiations for
designs, and other preliminaries under
the mistaken assumption that the leg
islature had authorized him to do so,
asked for further Instructions.
The members of the council passed a
motion endorsing what the governor
had done and authorizing him to go
ahead with his negotiations
Governor Hoch says he will secure
designs and prices and will then again
refer the matter to the council for final
action.
T. J. Anderson, secretary of the To-
peka Commercial club. called upon Gov
ernor Hoch this morning, and asked
/ that the governor give some of the
Topeka jewelers. a chance to figure on
! the work of supplying the state with
/ the siIverWare. There is good chance
/ for the jewelry establishments of the
state to get into a great tangle about
\ the furnishing of the silver service.
Edward Vail, of Wichita is after the
! Job. and he seems to be on the inside
! track SO far. He has gone back east,
armed with letter of Introduction
signed by Governor Hoch, asking Tiff
fanny and the other big eastern silver
smiths to extend their courtesies to him
in the way of furnishing designs and
quoting prices.
Mr. Vail says that he does not care
about making any money out of the
contract; if he can supply the state at
the cost price he viii be satisfied. What
he is after is advertising, he says.
There are several Topeka jewelers.
who would like to furnish the state
with the silverware for the same reason,
and if Topeka and Wichita go to bid
ding against each other, there may he
some fun.
Governor Hoch said this morning: Il
do not care especially who furnishes
this silver service, though I think 1t
would be a good plan to place the
order here in the state if possible. There
are several Kansas dealers who would
like to act as the medium through which
we make the purchase. OF course there
is no one in the state who can manu-
facture anything of this sort, but they
want to act as the agent for the state
/ I gave Mr.. Vail a letter because he was
expecting to go back east on business
and thought he might be of some as
distance to US while there.

EXTRA SESSION SURE.
President Positively Will Call Con-
gFess Together Oct. 10.

Washington. May 23.-President
Roosevelt reiterates his intention to
call congress in extra session October
10 next, to consider railroad rate legis-
lation.
The president is considering the idea
of presenting the immigration prob
lem to congress as containing a serious
peril and urging drastic action. Immi-
grafton this year is breaking all rec
ords. The figures indicate a total i'm
migration for the year of more than d
million, or one-eightieth OF the pOpu-
lation, and most of it comes from
Italy, Hungary and Russia.
Two methods are under considera-
tion-the limiting of the number of
immigrants who can be landed in a
month and the increase of the head
tax to a prohibitiYe figure. The latter
is the one likely to be recommended
by the president. The purpose is to
check and reduce the immigration as
much as possible.

brated their sixtieth wedding anniver-

81, and is well and strong.
Their marriage took place in SOM
erset county. Maine, in 1845. Twelve
years later-in 1857-Governor Elder
started west to the territory of Kan
sas, and located at Ohio City, some
ten miles south of the present. site of
Ottawa The place is now a corndeld.
Mrs Elder came later, making the
river journey to WestpOrt Landing.
and coming thence on top of a load
of freight to Ohio City.
Governor Elder was a member of
the territorial legislature The family
home was near Baldwin when Guam
trell came through, and Mrs. Elder
buried her valuables and fed from the
neighborhoOd until the raiders had
passed. When the state was organ
lied Governor Elder went into the
legislature again, and was made
speaker of the house He was lieu
tenant governor for two terms, and
was a prominent candidate for United
States senator when PETER was elected.

"A Gagged LUNATlCS.
Victims of Port Arthur Siege Embark
at Chefoo for Home.

Che Foo, May 23.-Tuesday 9 P. NJ
Forty-four lunatic Russian sailors and
soldiers from Port Arthur including
violently insane lieutenant who was on
the SeVastopOl during the siege, arrived
here today and were Immediately
transferred to the Russian improvised
hospital ship Whampoa under the Brit
ish flag, for transportation direct to
Odessa. The party is accompanied by
a former medical member of Alexieff's
staff and other officers and attendants
exceeding in number the patients. The
condition of the insane men varies from
a mild melanchola to the violent stage.
The majority are suffering from hallu-
cinations, rendering them in a condition
that demands an attendant for eac'~
one. The officers in charge state til {
many of these cases are the result OF
the long incarceration of sick men in
hospitals during the terror of the siege.
Some are the result of scurvy and the
rife nervous strain of continuous bonn
bardments and incessant service. All
cases are apparently physical wrecks.
The scene was extremely pathetic as
the chattering imbeciles mounted the
decks of the steamer and entered cages
which enclosed the main matches and
surrounding deck space provided for
their liberty and comfort during the
passage through tropical seas. In a few
cases symptoms of insanity developed
early in the siege and inability to pro-
waited condition. The party includes all
cases of insanity appearing in the Rus
sian army and navy at Port Arthur
during the war.
The ship will probably depart tomor-
row.

WHEAT-The wheat market presents
strong front and all things considered It
seems that the bull side is the wise one
for the Spectator to follow. Cash wheat
is advancing in all markets and in urgent
demand Confirmation of damage reports
to the growing crop come from reliable
sources in Oklahoma and southern Kan
sas. It is claimed that the plant IS de
teriorating and that the condition is not
a s good as reported on May first. h v
Jones Commercial West, Minneapolis,
Mimi. is now predicting a total winter
and spring wheat of not over 600O00,000
bushels. Estimates were freely made two
or three weeks ago that total crop OF
zoo. coo coo bushels would be realized at mar
vest time of yinter and spring wheat
Later reports say Kansas won't raise over
100000 bushels. The facts are coming out
and I believe the final results at harvest
time won't show more than moderate
WELD of wheat. Spectators who buy
wheat on weak days and sell on the
bulges ought to make money.
CORN-Corn is strong in sympathy with
the squeeze in the May option. It seems
now that the men who said the crop OF
1904 exceeded $500, 600 bushels have de-
ceived themselves and everybody else
Corn may go some lower, but I believe
it is a purchase on all weak spots.
