DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

Hiram Byers died at his home in
Bellview addition to Topeka about

gagged in business owing to his age.

home Friday afternoon at o'clock.
Interment in the Topeka cemetery.

STRIKE ORDER RECALLED.
Telegraph Trouble Confined to San
Francisco for the Present.

San Francisco. Cal, July 4.-Presi-
dent S. ]. Small of the telegraphers'
union, it is stated, has temporarily
withdrawn the order given the oper-
ators in another city believed to have
been to go on strike within the next
few days. President Small it is said has
teIegraphed the union which he had
mailed orders to walk out, to take no
action until further advised. This ac-
fion it is believed was taken by the
national president of the telegraphers
organization pending the arrival at
Chicago of Labor Commissioner Neill
from Washington and the outcome of
Shis efforts there to prevent general
strike. 1t is taken as an indication
that despite the apparent hopeless
deadlock between the telegraph COM
panies and the telegraphers, the
chance of a compromise of the local
trouble is not entirely dissipated.
Superintendent I. n. Miller of the
Western Union has signif1ed his will
ingness to meet the "ex-employes" of
that company. but only as ''individu-
ais" This seems to be a slight con-
cession but whether sufficient to open
up a way for negotiation is doubtful.

bles by bringing messages to them
from vessels at sea. OF course, it is
possible that. with increased inven-
ton, knowledge and experience. wire
less telegrap ply may make such pro-
gress as ultimately to interfere with
ocean wire biography. These are two
essentially future competitors. But
there would be- no. competition be-
tween wireless telephony and wire tel
ephony across the ocean. because
there is no ocean wire telephony and
no immediate prospect of its arrival.
1t is more likely at present that wire
less telephony may be extended in
range to reach across the Atlantic
ocean than that wire telephony may
be similarly extended. In other words
there seems more prospect 1t present
of transmitting the human voice by
electricity over the surface of the Al
lantic OCEAN than over an electric in
sulated wire carried under the ocean.
The fact of transatlantic telephony
is far from being accomplished as yet
in either of these ways.-Review OF

, or offer for. sale milk or cream from
diseased or unhealthy animals. All milk
ducts. sold or offered for sale shall be
delivered pure and fresh and handled
with clean utensils" Il
The creamery men were so anxious
to have these regulations brought to
the attention of the farmers that they
offered to pay the expense of printing
a bulletin giving the official dictum of
the state dairy inspector.
The creamery men say that the rea-
son Kansas butter has shown ten
dency to slip backward from the high
est grade is because the dairymen do
not exercise proper care in handling
cream; that their utensils and cans are
not properly cleaned and that deliver
les of cream are not made with suff1-
cient frequency to the operator" of the
creamery skimmiI1g station. The result
is, it is claimed, that the cream does
not reach the creamery in the proper
stage of acidity, and that an inferior
grade of butter is the result. The cream
cry men say that they can't persuade
the farmers to be more careful be-
cause the farmers think that it is
creameries to get more money out of
them. They also contend that with the
present competitions for cream, the buy
eIs for different ereameries are obliged
to take any kind of cream offered at top
price, in order to get enough cream to
supply the creamertesa
Mr.. Kendall, the state dairy in
spector says:I1 -rG SER ii s
81 expect to publish bulletins CIV
ing information and Instructions re-
garding the care of milk. and also all
rules and regulations adopted for the
government of the creameries and
dairies. The rules first promulgated
will have to do mainly with the prop
er care and handling of cream and
milk. -- 49, ------
II think that the Kansas dairy in
spector law is a pretty good law, but
it has it's weak spots. For. instance,
in the inspection in butter we are
obliged to have the butter analyzed
to determine its quality, and by the
time the analysis can be made, the
chances are that the butter involved
is no longer on the market

MISSING MAN FOUND.
Not Identiaed, However, Until After
He Was. Dead.

Colorado Springs, Col, July A.
Word has been received in this city
from the authorities at Niles, Mich,
to the effect that young man who
died there yesterday. has been identf-
fed as Walter B. Harmer. formerly
Santa Fe ticket agent in this city.
About a year ago Harmer left a note
on his desk saying that he was short
several hundred dollars in his accounts
and that he intended to commit suicide
in the mountains. 1t was found, how
ever, that he had fed the country. His
shortage was made good by Harmer's
parents and he would not have been
prosecuted. OF this, however, Harmer
remained in ignorance and all efforts to
locate him were fruitIess.

Sore? oh, No!

An actor without funds managed in
some way to get a second-class ticket
on a line of steamers running between
Seattle and San Francisco. The voy-
age between these two points con-
sumed the better part OF three days,
and in view Of the fact that his
finances were at low ebb. he solved
the question in this way: The first
day out he slept all day to keep from
eating, and remained up all night to
keep from sleeping. The second day
he took physical exercises. On the
third day he could not stand the strain
any longer. and went down to the din
ing room and ordered the best meal
on board the boat. While eating his
meal he could see in his minds eye =

TOWN IN RUINS.
Tornado Brings Death and Destruction
to Koro, Wis.

Berlin, Wis, July 4.-Koro. a small
town two miles from this city, was the
scene of death and destruction, caused
by a tornado which struck this district
last night. A woman named Paves
and her child were killed. Many build
ings are in ruins and it is probable
that other deaths occurred.
The wind blew at a cyclonic rate
and rain fell in torrents. Hundreds OF
people from all over this part of the
state were here to attend the hftieth
anniversary celebration of the city
Incorporation and the storm created a
panic among the old people.

John S. Beard

OF those who are In the race for
United State Senator there were but
three present at the Coming Out Con-
VentiOn. John :. Beard, Park Trammell
and +. J. L. Browne. AS he always
does. Mr. Beard made a pleasant adj
dress. and | can find nothing in his
platform that should not be there, eX-
cept his negro disfranchisement plan.
The principle of that is good. but it is
subject To the criticism that might be
made OF the man who would declare
that in his opinion it would be good for
mankind that the sun should rise in
the morning and set in the evening.
Mr.. Beard is attempting to grind his
mill with water that Is past. There is
no need in this State for further agita-
ton on the negro question. More than
decade has passed since the negro
has been eliminated from political par
ticipation. If the Constitution should
be changed 50 as to declare that the
negro was not entitled to vote, he
would cut no less figure in determining
what policies should rule and what
people should carry them out than he
does now. Mr.. Boards prohibition plank
is all right. His regulation and con-
troll Il corporate power is good, and his
preservation Of the integrity and pow
er IF the State governments in their
proper sphere is fine. In all Of these
he threshed over straw that i old 10

Of careful training. possessed of natu-

by study developed himself into an in

come out since. and this makes him an
object for consideration and criticism
by those who give thought TO public

He will be a factor in the race, but
he will be handicapped by reason Of
