OUT GOES EMPORIAK.N.G.
Co. I, Second Regiment, Ordered Dis
banded for Lack of Interest.

Orders were issued today by Adj
1utant General ]. w. F. Hughes for the
dissolution and muster out of the EN-
poria company of the Kansas national
regiment, and the organization of new
company 1 to take the place of the
Emporia company. The new COM
pany will be located at Wichita, giving
Wichita two companies of the guard
namely, companies A and l.
The officers OF the Emporia com
pan are as follows: Captain, Leroy
Smith; first lieutenant, Robt. A. Wflks;
second lieutenant, Owen S. Samuel
These officers will all be mustered out,
and new officers elected at Wichita.
The transfer of company 1 from
Emporia to Wichita is partly to com
pensate Wichita for the loss of one
platoon of the Kansas light artillery.
Under orders from the war depart
ment, this platoon was transferred
from Wichita and consolidated with
the Topeka platoon at Topeka. 1t is
expected that most of the members of
the old Wichita battery will enlist in
the new company of infantry to be To-
Gated there.
The organization of the new com
pany of infantry will be made be-
tween now and August 1, under the
direction of Col. P. M Hoisington of
the Second regiment. officers for the
new company will probably be the
same as the OIncerS OF the ola wichita
battery, though this rests entirely
with the men who are recruited for
the company.
The reason for the muster out of the
Emporia company is the fact that the
enrolment has fallen below the mini
mum. There are now only 81 men in
the Emporia company. The minimum
Is 40. Interest in the organization at
that place is at a very low ebb. and
there is thought to. be no hope of get
ting the company back on it's feet
The company had been unfortunate in
having a number of changes in its
officers, and each outgoing officer has
caused some of the members of the
company to go with him. This has
resulted in complete decentralization.
The Second regiment band. which is
located at Emporia, is in a f1ourishing
condition. and its organization will not
be disturbed 1t is entirely separate
In its organization from company I.

It is said by that most useful of all persons. "the man close to the
 president" that there will be no ob-
 jection by this government to the re- appointment of Wu Ting Fang as Chinese ministerto the United States.
 It will be remembered that while
 Mir Wu was an entertaining person during his stay here. he often over stepped the bounds of diplomacy in the things he did and said. He was also credited with having instituted the Chinese boycott of American goods on his return to China, so that there were various reasons why the United States might have objected to his appointment. But it Is said that the president did not wish to show any animOsity to China and he decid- ed that while there might have been wiser appointments made from the standpoint of the American govern ment, 1t was just as well to accept the old diplomat as though he were the best possible selection. It is quite certain. however. that Mir wu on his second coming here will not be ae- corded all the diplomatic latitude he was allowed before.

The republican town committee is already taking to the woods. It re- pudlates the mud slinging at Mayor Thoms in card published to-day. It is very evident that Mayor Thoms Is good enough for them if he gets the most votes, and they are not going to be party to any dirty or under handed work of falsehoods for cam paign purposes. Here is the last paragraph of the card wherein it re- pudiates the mud singers and those who would win the election even if they had to lie about and blackmaiI n public official:
 "Neither the republican town com. mittee or its press committee will hold Itself or its party responsible for communications that in any way reflect upon the character or methods of MT Thoms, not neces- sarily involved in a legitimate discus sion of his official acts as mayor of the city of Waterbury"

The less the republican organ says about the defeat of Ralph N. Blakes- lee two years ago the better it will be for those who slaughtered him in his own household Ralph Blakeslee was defeated by republican voters, and it is well known fact that he received more democratic votes, more Catholic votes, If you will, than any republican candidate that has been in the running for long time. He cer- tainly received more than John E. Sewell will receive. and if Mayor Thoms goes down 1t will be because of the turning away from him of re- publicans who supported him two years ago, and pretended to be red hot Blakeslee men.

The department of agriculture, having produced a seedless orange, is now experimenting with a seedless tomato. The work has been going on for six years at the New Jersey station, and promises to be success full, says an exchange. The new to- mato is only one of a number of in- teresting vegetables that have been produced by cross-breeding. It has developed into fixed type, and crosses with other plants have little or no effect on it. It is not always entirely seedless. Sometimes it has no seeds at all, and sometimes it may have five or six or as many as sixty. It is large, of fine flavor, cross between the Golden Sunrise and Dwarf Champion, and has been named the Giant. It is persistent bearer, and flowers, up to the killing frosts in November. There have been number of other crosses on the same farm producing soedless tomatoes, but they were almost al- ways dwarfs in size, At the Wis oonsin station seedless tomatoes have been produced by excessive use of fertilizers. Most of them were small and some had the flavor of straw berries. All the seedless plants, of course, have to be propagated by

It is a feature worth considering
 now that such strong efforts are be-
 ing made to turn the tide of immi-
 grafton southward that the epidemic
 of violent crimes from which the
 north has suffered recently have been
 almost without exception committed
 by immigrants who belong to the 1 Black Hand, the Maffia and the Cam | mora. if there be any difference be- | tween the three. They have vied | with each other in a perfect orgy of
 murder, assault, blackmailing and
 kidnapping. The bulk of these crimes
 have been committed by newly ar
 rived immigrants, and almost with out exception, the criminals have
 been Italians. Of course it is not fair
 to judge a whole nation by it's worst
 element. There has been Italian i'm migration In this country for decades and the immigrants as a rule have made good citizens. Starting poor as fruit vendors and the like, many of them have come up to wealth and good position in the business com munity. It used to be the exception rather than the rule to hear of an Italian committing anything worse than a petty crime. But the source of the Italian immigration has chang ed recently from the north to the south of Italy and it seems to have brought into this country some truly | undesirable citizens. As this is the case and there is much talk of turn :! ing the newly arrived immigrants | south as farm laborers, it may be well | for the southern states to sift this | class of importation very carefully | before accepting it. The south has had trouble enough managing the colored man and brother along this same line and it is not worth while to tangle up with any new raciar trouble if they can be avoided.

ocrats who were in control of the constitutional convention gerrymar- dered the state on behalf of their own party. But whether this Is true or not, the chances are there would have been something doing in the same line had the republicans been in control of the convention. It is not likely that the official copy of the new constitution will be received in Washington in time for the president to issue his proclamation admitting the state before he starts west, but this proclamation will be issued im- mediately on his return.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE AND AID.
vANCEMENTS,
Probably no member OF this
convention is fully satisfied with
the result of the years record
for the advancement of moral
measures, and yet no former
year has marked greater
progress. Dr.. Willard Parker
dec Jared that when people un
derstood what alcohol is. and
what it does, they will put it
out of existence for beverage
purposes. The people more
widely than ever before know
what alcohol is. We can hard
ly enumerate the many ways In
which this knowledge has been
acquired Scientific research,
religious conviction and bust
ness interests are bringing forth
reasons for total abstinence
which compel attention and &C,
ton. The reiteration that alec
hol is a poison and not a food,
has forced the study of the liq,
uor problem upon many who
heretofore nave been unmindtuj
if not altogether uubelleving
and the careful unprecedented
student of the question canuot
fail to be in sympathy with the
W. @. T. U. in it's manifold eff
forts to have the people under
stand what alcohol is and does
