MEN RACE FOR s7so,ooo BOND.
Rivals for Office Of Kansas State
Treasurery Huntinu Rich Friends.

Topeka, Kan, July 24.-State Treas
urer Kelley and Samuel Moore of
Lawrence are making a mad race over
Kansas for a $750,OOO bond. Under a
new law which goes into effect Sept. /
the treasurer must give new bond.
The law makes it the duty of the gov
ernor to fix the amount, and Cover
nor Hoch has named the above
amount. Three weeks ago Governor
Hoch notified Kelley to have his bond
ready by July 81.
When the executive council met to
approve the bond Kelley confessed
that he had not secured it and asked
for more time. Governor Hoch refused
the request and announced that he
would declare the office vacant and
appoint new man. Samuel A. Moore
was promised the office If he would
give the bond by Wednesday, July %.
Governor Hoch and the state officers
are against Kelley, and it is not prob
able that any bond he gives will be ac-
cepted. The loss Of over half million
dollars Of the state money in the de-
funct Devlin bank has turned the tide
against Kelley. United States Sena-
tor Burton, who is discredited in Kan
sas is out hunting bondsmen for Kel-
ley. who is the only representative Of
the Burton faction holding state

EQUITABLE PENSIONS.
Chairman Morton Says Question is
One Of Business Policy.

One Of Business Policy.
oyster Bay, N. Y, July, "a. The
whole matter of pensions by the
Equitable Assurance Society will be
considered purely as a business propo-
sition. according to Chairman Paul
Morton, and no exception will be made
in the case of Mrs. Henry B. Hyde,
widow Of the founder Of the society.
Chairman Morton will present the sub
ject to the directors of the society at
a meeting to, be held next "Wednesday.
Mr.. Norton was a guest yesterday
of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
at Sycamore Hill. He arrived at the
Presidents home from New York last
evening, and returned to New York
Sunday afternoon.
While he excused himself from q
general discussion Of Equitable affairs.
Mr.. Morton admitted, in response to
a. direct inquiry, that a proposition to
discontinue the pension Of $3.50
year now paid to Mrs. Hyde was under
consideration.
Although her pension has not been
definitely discontinued, the payment OF
the current. vouchers for 1T, as well as
for the pensions Of others, will remain
in allegiance until a final decision OF
the general question Of pensions shall
have been made.
It was made clear by Chairman Nor
ton that Mrs. Hyde's pension is to be
considered with other pensions now
paid by the society; that is her PEN
sion will not be discontinued, If at all,
as an exception.
There is no assurance that the
matter of pensions will be definitely
settled by the directors at the meet
ing next Wednesday,.
Chairman Morton is said to visited
the president as former cabinet Of
ficer and a close personal friend, to
obtain brief rest from his labors in
connection with the REIMBURSEMENT of
Equitable affairs. Assurance is given
that his visit was not of serious pub
lie Significance.

Standard Oil Company Said
to Have Driven Linseed Oil
Factories Out of Business
SAY TRUST is IMPREeNABLE
All the Independent Factories in the
Country, With Possibly Few Ex-
ceptions, Are Now Controlled by the
Big Trust-Advance in Prices Ex-
pected.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 24.-with the
closing of the Spencer Kellogg, Mann
Bros and Hauenstein & Co, indepen-
dent factories, the first step has been
taken by the American Linseed Oil
Company, controlled by Rockefeller in
terests in it's destruction Of linseed
oil competition and the exploitation Of
another necessity of commerce to its
own profit.
nable The Buffalo factories have no
seed because the manufacturers feared
to buy more, knowing as they did that
the trust had accumulated surplus of
anywhere from 100000 to 100000
bushels.
At any moment the trust could have
turned this enormous surplus, equiva-
lent to nearly third of a years crop,
into oil, and by cutting the price have
undersold every independent in the
field, bringing financial ruin.
With their small competitors out of
the market. the losses occasioned by a

price OF oil would have easily been
made up by an advance Of 20 to 40
cents, such as will be made, it is said.
when the time is ripe.
The methods pursued by the Ameri-
can Linseed Oil Company in eliminat-
ing competition, are not dissimilar
from those in operation In the STAN
dard Oil Company.
Linseed oil, like petroleum, creates
it's own demand by it's necessity for
use in the manufacture of paints, var
nishes, and linoleum, because it is the
only natural Vegetable drying oil
known to the world today. 1t serves
the dual purpose of a vehicle to carry
the pigments used in coloring paints
and drying them when same have been
applied.
Besides this, it is limited in produc-
ton to about 100000 barrels year In
this country, and foreign countries. no
matter how bountiful their crops OF
flax, which furnishes the seed, cannot
compete with the American product.

which linseed oil Is derived, aggregates
only about 10000 bushels. Buffalo and
Minneapolis divide the market, this
city controlling the east and Minne-
apolis the west. The center of pro-
duction has shifted from around Chi
cago to the northwestern states and
the principal point where buyers OF
the seed congresate is in Minneapolis.
In order to keep the seed from ex-
port trade bonus Of about cents is
offered the farmer when he markets
his crop over prevailing foreign prices.
II fiaxseed is worth $1.25 per bushel
abroad the farmer here will receive
$1.27, until the close of navigation on
the lakes eliminates a possibility OF
foreign shipment at a profit: There
fore, he markets the whole crop IN
about eight weeks each fall.

which was brought by Mrs Charlotte
Bleakley, of Lawrence, Kan, against
Mrs. ]. G. Barclay, of Moline, to recov-

A midwife told her that the child
was dead and Mrs. Bleakley paid the
expenses of burial Mrs. Blaakley was
taken sick with scarlet fever. Her
brother was sent for and the midwife
told the physician whom he called that
Mrs Bleakley's baby was alive. The
brother confronted the midwife, but
she denied telling the physician that
the child was alive.
In the meantime the infant had been
placed in charge of the baby incubator,

Not Many Cattle Received To-
day, But Only Better Grades
Brought Higher Prices
GOOD KINDS WERE SCARCE
Less Attractive Offerings Sold Slowly
at No Better Prices-cows and
Hefers Fairly Active, Suckers and
Feeders sIow-Hoe Receipts Largo
and Prices Somewhat Lower.

Chicago, July 24.-Cattle - Receipts
fell greatly below general expectations
and while there was no lively demand,
cattle of superior quality We're taken
strong to 10 higher prices, there being
scarcity of such offerings. Less at
tractive offerings moved off slowly at
no better prices than seen for the last
few days Cows and heifers We're
stockers aud feeders were slow as ever.
Beef steer trade is badly in need of
relief through smaller receipts this
week and sellers are urging cautious
country operating. The market has
sagged down to low point for all
classes OF stock and there seems no
chance for much improvement in
prices until the congested beef mar
kets round to in better shape. Hot
weather has cut demands to a very
slim volume both here and in the east,
and cooler weather will have to be
experienced for week or two. so that
packers may be enabled to dispose of
a big share of the meats they now
have on hand before their needs will
again assume the normal.
Hogs.
Today's aggregate supply was rath-
err large. about 1000 being carried over
from last week. Swine good enough to
meet the wants of the shipping trade,
sold readily at steady prices. but local
packers held back, filling their orders
at SOLO lower.
Hog receipts for the past week
show considerable decrease, compared
with the week before, but are much
heavier than a year ago, when the
packing house strike was on. The run
was comparatively heavy, due partly
to the very sharp advance In prices
during the early part of the week and
partly to the passing of the hot wave,
which made the shipping OF hogs very
risky while it lasted.
Prices for few desirable shipping
and butcher hogs were steady to &c
weights, but as soon as shipping ord
ers We're filled, however, there was
weaker feeling and prices on all pack
ing hogs were fully 5 cents lower.
Sheep.
Sheep were slow and weak at the
declines noted late last week. Spring
lambs generally were 15@25 lower.
Live mutton trade has suffered
sharp declines the past week, but there
is room for more depreciation Prices
are still much higher than a year ago
at this time, and also, when compared
with trade conditions two years ago.
Since the high point of the previous
week sheep have broken 50@75 cents
and lambs anywhere from $1@2. Most
of the week the market has been in
thoroughly demoralized condition and
the cleaning up process was effected
with difficulty. Hot weather and heavy
receipts have been the influences.

Man Who Left Wife Generation Ago
Reported Alive and UnempIoyed.
Pittsburg. Pa, July 24-Twenty-
eight years ago John Fulton OF tnls
CITY left his wife Mary and their chill
f1ren and went out into the world Full
ton had been out of employment for
some time and when he left home he
told his wife that he was going to look
for a lob. If he could not find one IN
Pittsburg he was going to travel until
he did find one Five long years pass
cd and not a word came from Fulton.
Then, when his wife was beginning 70
think that he was dead, letter was
received from the missing one from
Chicago, in which he stated that ne
had beef unsuccessful in his search for
employment and was still looking for
a job.
Never Wrote Again.
That was twenty TIRES years ago
and not line has been heard from
Fulton from that day to this. Mrs.
Fulton decided many years ago that
her husbands search for employment
was either still unsuccessful or more
likely that he was dead In recent
wears she has been more firmly con-
firmed in the latter belief. Some time
ago she decided to apply to the courts
to have her husband legally declared
dead, as there is some property that
they own in this city that she wished
to dispose of.
Still Out of Job.
The case came up Saturday before
Judge Over in the orphans court. But
lust as the judge was about to make
out the necessary papers which would
make Fulton dead legally there APP
peared in the courtroom mysterious
stranger, who stated that he knew a
John Fulton at Patterson. N. j., and
that he. was positive that he was the
man whom the judge was about to de-
clare dead.
The stranger was asked if the Pat
erson Fulton had job, and replied
that he didn't think he had. The judge
decided that there was reasonable
room for doubt as to the man being
dead and held over the signing of the
papers until he can communicate with
the man in New Jersey.
