JOHN HAY rs HOME AGAIN
In Better Health, but Far from Robust
Met by Letter from the
President.

New York, June 16.-Secretary OF
State Hay has arrived from Europe
on the steamer Baltic, much improved
in health, but plainly showing that he
is far from being we'll man. His
presence in this country evidently was
anxiously expected by President Roose-
welt, for an imposing and long docu-
ment was delivered to him at quar-
antine by a special messenger from
the White House, who went down the
bay on the revenue cutter to deliver it
to Hay in person. The contents of this
message Secretary Hay refused to di-
vulge.
Secretary Hay was informed by the
newspaper men that the ENJOYS in the
Russo-Japanese peace negotiations
were to meet in Washington. 1t was
the first information he had received
as to the outcome of the presidents
efforts He said he was not in a posi-
ton to discuss the subject of peace in
the Far East, and would not talk on
any other subject He said. however.
That he had no intention of leaving the
cabinet.

Twentieth Century Train on Lake
Shore Road Lops Off
Five Minutes.

Chicago, June 19.-Having made the
most terrific speed Of any train that
ever pulled into Chicago from New
York, the new Twentieth Century
limited on the Lake Shore railroad
rushed into the LaSalle street depot
at 500 a. NJ
The greatest test of iron and steel
ever made in the United States, and
perhaps in the world had made a new
record for the run from New York to
Chicago. Human ingenuity had
harnessed steam and driven steel over
966 miles in II hours and So minutes
The train which had set out to carry
New Workers to Chicago in eighteen
hours had done the trick five minutes
better than was expected of it.
New York, June 19-The Twentieth
Century limited train ON the New
York Central railroad arrived in this
city from Chicago at 9:27 a. NJ, three
minutes ahead of time. 1t left Chica-

Shocked the Queen.

The queen of Denmark once paid a
visit to the Danish colony of Iceland,
where the good old bishop exerted him
self to the utmost to show her every
thing that was worth seeing. The
queen paid many compliments to her
host, and having learned that he was a
family man graciously inquired how
many children he had. 1t happens that
the Danish word for children" is al
most identical in sound with the Ice
landic word for sheep" SO that the
worthy bishop, whose knowledge of
Danish was not SO complete as it
might have been, understood her maj
esty to ask how many sheep he owned
and promptly answered.

CUBA'S HERO rs DEAD
Gen. Maxine Gomez Passes Away After .
Long Illness Had Always Been
Fighter.

Havana, Cuba, June 10. - Maxine
Gomez died at 6 p. N. Saturday. Death
came peacefully, after a long illness.
He will be given funeral with nation
al honors. In May last General Gomez
underwent an operation at Santiago,
Cuba, as the result of the spread OF
gangrene in an abscess on his hand.
For time his life was despaired of,
but the general recovered sufficiently
to be moved to his home in Havana
June Z. Until Thursday morning he
showed signs of Improvement and
hopes were entertained that the end
might be postponed for considera BILE
period. But from that time on the pa
tient failed until the end came.
General Maxine Gomez y Baez was
one of the famous soldiers of the nine
teenth century, and probably more
than any other man aided in the liberia
ton of Cuba. He was born in SantO
Domingo in 1896. When in 1864 the
Spaniards attempted to annex San Do
mingo Gomez fought against his own
country and when Spain was defeated
he went to live in Cuba, where he was
an officer in the Spanish army. He
became disguised with Spain in 1867
and threw in his lot with the Cuban
rebels and soon rose to be their COM
mander. His history from then until
the United States took a hand and
wrested Cuba from Spain is well
known.

''In most French marriages money

The Only One of It's Kind.

On an evening somewhere about the
end of the sixteenth century a traveller
from Sweden might have been Observ-
ed at the door of the Rose theater in
London. He was going to see a new
piece called "Titus Andronicus," and
in order to follow it in the native Ian
guage he bought a copy Of the play,
price sixpence, at the theater door,
When he went home to Sweden he took
the book with him to show his wife
and friends what strange stuff the
foreigner ranted. For 800 years it was
preserved and in 1904, being discov
cred in the home of countrywoman,
was transferred for safety to the Lund
university The book is the only one

WESTERN KANSAS.

From Topeka State Journal.
Little BY little western Kansas is
coming into its own. Little by little
the people OF the east are recogniz-
ing its value Little by little its popu-
latiOn is growing some places not
so little, either.
American Investments, a financial
and commercial paper published at
Buffalo, y. Y, contains the following
compliment to western Kansas in its
current issue
The state Of Kansas is going after
another agricultural record Not con-
tent with at least three record crops,
she bids fair to eclipse past perform
anceS and send to market in 1905 be-
tween 100000 and 1OO,OOO,OOO
bushels Of wheat. This prospect, to-
gether with achievements in recent
years, has caused thousands Of east
ern farmers to turn with longing eyes
toward the former domain Of the
grasshOpper- One OF the most re-
markabIe facts OF the wonderful in
dustrial story that is being woven
about the country beyond the turbid
waters Of the Missouri is the regene-
ration Of western and more especially
Of southwestern Kansas Less than
a short decade ago this portion Of this
great state seemed doomed to stag
nation. The very name Of western
Kansas was a bywOrd and a reprOach,
and in the estimation OF the public
nothing good and much that was bad
came out Of it Today there is no
part Of the western country which is
being sought more eagerly than are
the fertile uplands and the beautiful
valleys of this hitherto despised re-
giOu- A transformation that is going
on in western Kansas is scarcely
creditabIe unless one goes there and
sees for himself that the state Of
Kansas is finally coming fully into its
own and that il can no longer be de-
prived OF its natural heritage
The fiugres mentioned by American
Investments may be a little high.
They undoubtedly are. so far as
wheat is concerned. But there is lit
tie doubt that Kansas will break its
record this year by a good many dol
lars in the aggregate value Of crops
raised. It is seldom that wheat and
corn are both good the same year,
and this year both promise to be first
class. the quality is splendid, and
prices are fair

WILL IT WORK?

FOm Topeka State Journal.
The Kansas City Times says that a
systematic effort is being made by
the railroads to create sentiment
against rate legislation in the coming
congress through the country press
Here is an editorial which the Times
publishes on that subject:
In nearly every state in the union
the railroads have established bu-
reaUs to make sentiment, against
proposed railway legislation. In ad-
ditiOn to these there are a few gen
eral offices from which the local SEN
timent makers are furnished with
speciOus propaganda, to be worked
over and adapted to local conditions.
All the arts of adrOit press agency
promotion are employed. The doc
trine' is sometimes open and DaIpable.
but more frequently it is buried in
general matter, calculated to mislead
busy country editors. The latter plan
is particularly employed in furnishing
copy for weekly newspapers
But viii this sort Of thing go in
Kansas President Roosevelt is spon-
sOr for and the chief aggressOr in
the movement TO make the railroads
tote fair His railway policy is one
OF the most urgent and popular he
has ever announced. he is for the
enforcement Of the laws against re-
bates He would strengthen the in
terstate commerce commission in
such way that, with rebates cut on,
the railways may not by agreement,
recOmpense themselves through the
medium OF extortiOnate rates.
kansas prides itself on being the
original Roosevelt state It gave
Theodore Roosevelt a plurality Of
more than 1864 600 the first chance it
had to vote for him for president It
has stood by the man who stands for
the square deal 1t has nothing to
gain and everything to lose by the
lack Of strict railway supervision In
fact, railway regulation has been
something of a hobby with Kansas.
And by far the best regulation is ma
tiOnal regulation, since local restric-
tons sometimes react against the To-
calities making them. whereas gen
eral adjustment evens things up. 1t
looks. therefore, as though il would
take something more than an Elijah
in the pay Of the railways, TO convert
Kansas on this proposition"
At the same time the Times must
admit that some Of the Elijah stuff is
Interesting. Why don't the country
papers simply blue-penciI the rail-
road part Of it and print the lrest2
