NO OFFICIAL ROAD.
Department Commander Coney Adopts
a Reform.

Department Commander P. H. Coney
today issued circular letter announc-
ing that no one railroad will be desig-
mated as the official route to the nation
al encampment at Denver. He thus
avoids. bitter controversy which has
usually characterized this part of the
encampment business. He says in his
letter:
THE four main lines of railroads run
ming directly to Denver through Kan
sas, to-wit, the Rock Island, the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Union Pa
cific and the Missouri Pacific, will each
be official G. A. r. routes, in charge of
officially appointed G. A. R. officers. -
Commander Coney also states in the
letter that the membership of the G. A.
R. in the state of Kansas is being rap
idly increased. With this same STAN
dard of recruiting viligance continued
for the rest of the year." says Mr..
Coney, there can be no doubt of our
active membership being doubled or
trebled'

WELLINGTON GETS 1T.
State Encampment X. N. G. to Be
Held October 10 to 20.

At a special meeting of the state mill
tary board held at 1880 this afternoon at
the office of Pension Commissioner Wilder
8. Metealf it was decided that the next
state encampment of the Kansas National
Guard shall be held at Wellington from
October 16 to &c.
The competition was between lola and
Wellington. and the superior railroad IA
cilities of Wellington were what gave it
the victory. Wichita has been practically
out of the race for the past a hours. Well
ingtou offered to furnish free wood. light
water and transfer of baggage and equip
ment to and from the camp grounds. 1t
proposes to furnish camp ground of 160
acres adjoining the town on the west,
about three-quarters of mile from the
center of town. There is also another tract
of so acres adjoining which can be secured
if desired. The camp is located on Slate
creek and is entirely barren of trees.
When it was found that the majority of
the members of the military board favor
ed giving the encampment to Wellington
the decision was made unanimous. The
meeting was held at the office of Pension
Commissioner Metca1f because this is the
busy time foF the pension office, and both
Metca1f and Drew were employed there.
After the informal meeting at Colonel
Metcalf's office the board adjourned to
the state house and formally ratified its
decision.
Wellington IS on the main line of three
railroads: the Rock Island, Santa Fe and
Southern Kansas It sent a large delega-
ton here to represent it's interests.

The Proper Food for Summer.

Make your food simple In the sum-
mer. Try to establish for your table
a different standard than that of heavy
plenty. The merest tyro in dietetics
knows that meat and fats are not
essential to the system during the
heated term. Most people under
stand, too, that we need less food
than when it is lowering about the
freezing mark.
Don't overwork your digestion when
it is so hot that you spare the rest of
your physical mechanism as much
hard labor as possible; and when you
fill your stomach give ii something it
can take care of easily. The very In
dications of the season are so many
finger posts telling what food is con-
venfent for us at this time of year.
Now is the day and the hour of fruits
and vegetables. Never are they SO
plentiful. so cheap or SO good as in
midsummer-and this is an exception
to the general rule which makes
things cheap and nasty or delicious
and costly.
So eat vegetables. do not advise
you to turn vegetarian, for We are,
as rule, carniyorous enough to crave
q, bit of meat for relish, il no more.
For the benefit of those who think
work cannot be accomplished except
upon a meat diet, no matter what the
season, i will repeat the statement of
an expert in dietetics, who informed
me. good deal to my DISCONTINUE,
that one can work longer without get
ting hungry on a meal of vegeta bleS
than on one of flesh. The latter is
rapidly digested, but a meal of veg
etables is said to stay by the eater
for six hours. I dare say its abiding
power varies with the rapidity or slow
ness of the individual eaters digestive
processes, but the mere fact that it
will linger by any one for that space
of time is encouraging to those who
offer vegetables to their families in
thought that one can supply nature
and cut down the. butchers bills with
the same action.-Mrs. c. T. Herrick
in Success Magazine.

HIS Mind FAILS.
w. C. slteele, North Topeka Mer-
chant, Is Insane.
Locked Up in the County Jail
on Monday.
AN ECHO OF THE FLOOD
Lost His Store in Waters Two
Years Ago.
Creditors Took What Was Left
This Week.
An ECHO OF THE FLOOD

The creditors of w. C. Steele. a
North Topeka shoe merchant, levied
on his store Monday. Today he is in
a cell at the county jail. a maniac.
His mental troubles date from the
flood two years ago, when his store
was destroyed by the water.
Mr.. Steele was a shoe merchant of
$50 North Kansas avenue, and one Of
the Oldest business men on that side
of the river. For several months his
friends have feared that Mr. Steele's
mind was becoming unbalanced His
eccentricitfes became so marked YES
terday that his family and intimate
friends decided that it would be the
safest and best thing to have him
confined where he could receive
proper treatment and do no violence,
Often he would dress the windows in
his store in the morning and then re-
turning after dinner he would tear out
the decorations and Immediately make
another display. Yesterday morning
after he arose from breakfast he
started for the store, but instead of
leaving the house in the usual way
he -crawled through a cellar window
and left the house in that manner.
For days he would hide in cellars and
alleys, trying to avoid meeting his
friends.
After his actions of yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Steele was persuaded by her
friends that for her own safety as well
rs that of her husband he should be
arrested. He was persuaded to enter
the undertaking establishment of F. r.
ConwelI and was there informed of the
charge against him. He made no re-
sistance and said that he was willing
to do as his friends though for the
best. Mrs. Steele has felt for several
months past that her husbands mind
was unbalanced and has feared that he
might at any time become violent
Mr.. Steele has been for MANY years
one of the prominent merchants OF
North Topeka and up to the time of
the disastrous floods of two wears aen

time his store and stock SUFFERED

a Builder of Ships.

In the Northwest number of the
Worlds Work (the August issue) ap-
pears the following story of the career
of a great shipbuilder:
Mr.. Robert Moran arrived in Seattle
twenty-eigf1t years ago, and a sturdy
lad of eighteen. He came alone and
had just ten cents when he stepped
ashore from a lumber ship. His first
His promotion to fireman and then to
engineer soon followed, for he did his
job well. At night he studied naviga-
ton and drafting; then followed two
seasons in Alaska, steamboating. At
twenty-five years he opened very
small machine shop with ''hatfuP' of
tools At twenty-four he conceived
the idea of creating a modern ship
building plant. He selected his site
on the tide flats, and drew the plans of
his proposed plant, making space for
foundries, machine shops, ship ways,
deep-water channels. saWmill, pat
tern shops, boiler shops and cooper
shops, and providing for three ways of
building government fighting ships.
Twenty-three years later-last year
there was launched from way No. l
the $3,S00,000 battleship Nebraska,
which Moran Bros. Company is build
ing for the United States government.
The shipbuilding works cover twenty
six acres, and have an appraised value
of more than $2,000,000.
Mr. Moran had the Office of mayor
of Seattle forced upon him against his
wishes. He was nominated and elected
on a. nonpartisan ticket. He was
mayor in 1889. On June 9Th COM
rl1ittee of citizens started to solicit do
nations to a fund for the aid of the
Johnstown flood sufferers in Pennsyl-
vania. The committee had secured
$500 when Seattle caught fire, and
by night where the city had stood
were acres and acres of smoking ruins.
The mayor called a mass meeting Of
the citizens for 8 O'Clock the following
morning. It was decided to call upon
neighboring cities for aid.
ssWhat shall we do with the $500
we collected for Johnstown?" asked
one man.
ssWe,ll send it to Johnstown to-
dayf" declared Moran.
An hour later the little telegraph Of
fee. In a tent was transmitting re-
quests to Vancouver, Victoria, Tacoma

for flour, clothing, tents, blankets

The only public place in which Mr..
Rockefeller appears with any regularity is
at the services of a Baptist church IN the
community where he happens to be living.
He is particularly devoted to the services
of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church of
Cleveland and rarely from May to Oc-
tof,er does he miss the Sunday meetings,
and he always appears at the annual Sun
day school picnic Here he seems to be at
his freest here he even makes little
speeches on occasions. And yet to one who
