ment With Occupants.

Ortonville, Mimi, July 1-While go
ing at high rate of speed an automo-
bile containing three persons suddenly
swerved and went over sheer embank-
ment of forty feet into Big Stone Lake.
One of the passengers was probably
fatally injured.
Those in the automobile were Charles
and Walter Bucholz prominent mer-
chants of Appleton, and a three-year- old
son of Walter.
They were driving along the lakeshore
road which at the point where the acci-
dent happened runs along the edge of a
bluff. At the highest point the machine
suddenly got beyond the control OF the
driver, swerved and went directly over
the embankment. The heavy car did
not turn over as it fell but landed in
twenty feet of water.
Charles was struck by the steering
wheel and received internal injuries
which may prove fatal. Walter was
badly cut and bruised and is in a ser
ious condition. The boy escaped unhurt.

Streets of New York Still
BlOckaded by Garbage.
Impossible to Get Men to Take
Strikers Places.
HEALTH is MENACED.
The Department Is Spraying

Three Hundred MenFrOm Phila-
deIphia Fail to Arrive.

New York. July 1.-Renewed efforts
were made today by the street cleaning
department to obtain men to break the
strike of the garbage drivers. While
the health department is aiding the
street cleaning department in removing
the piles of refuse the work is slow and
the menace of a serious epidemic grows
daily greater. Mayor Mcclellan believes
the strike will be broken today when he
is of the opinion many of the old drivers
will return to wo---.
Conditions on the east side are fast be-
coming intolerable. Great heaps of de-
caying garbage and filth fill the streets,
making the passage of cars and trucks
difficult. Odors from these piles of re-
fuse are waited through the air into the
densely crowded tenement and escape
of the fetid gas is impossible. Forum
ately, cool weather and rain have re-
Heved a situation which would other
wise be .unbearable The health de-
partment is spraying these decaying
piles with disinfectants to prevent dis
ease. Deputy Commissioner Edwards of
the street cleaning department contract
ed with a Philadelphia firm for 300 men
to take the places of the strikers. These
men were expected yesterday but so
far have failed to put in an appearance.
The authorities say few men apply for
the positions of the strikers.

STROKE OF PARALY YSIS.
Webb McNaII, Ex-Superintendent OF
Insurance, Near to Death.

Gaylord, Kan, July 1.-Webb McNall.
who as state superintendent of insur-
ance, under Governor Leedy gained
much notoriety by ousting several in
ed stroke of paralysis at his home here
last night. This morning his condition
was considered critical.
webb McNan is one of the best
known political characters in the
state. He was originally d Repubii-
can. but went off the reservation with
the Populist revolt, and as a member
of that party became state insurance
commissioner. McNalIs administra-
one of the features of that most in
teresting period of the states history.
He was accused of boodling, of rob-
berry, of hold-ups, and almost every
thing else by the Republicans, and
the insurance companies went into
spasms about his atrocities" Nc
Nall sent men out to examine the
books of the companies, and the COM
panies paid the bills. which were
large.
When McNan retired from office
he did not stay POpulist very long.
He soon classed himself as a ''silver
Republican" and tried to rally a new
party on that issue. When the free
silver issue petered out, McNaII came
back into the Republican ranks and
has SO far recovered regular stand
ing that he was quite prominently
mentioned during the last campaign
as a possible Republican candidate for
his old job as insurance commissioner.
People like McNal because he isn't
afraid to say what he thinks. and had
the back bone to fight the big insur-
ance companies, which have since
proven to be in need of just such in
vestigations as McNall gave them.
Mr.. McNall has of late years been
general attorney for the A O. U W.
and has filled the position very ac-
ceptably to the membe He was
last in Topeka on June u, when he
was on his way to Fort Scott to look
after some A. o. U. w. business.
While in Topeka he gave the State
Journal an interview in which he pre-
dicted that there would be a primary
election in the Sixth district to select
a congressman and that w. A. Reeder
would be the only candidate.

Conditions fully met. Eighty-tWo o
| thousand subscribed in Topeka Let
| (Signed) NORMAN PLASS.
The above telegram which was sent
| to the general education board of
| New York city this afternoon over the
Western Union by President Norman
PIass of Washburn college marks the
closing of the strenuous campaign of
the college trustees, ably aided by the
Topeka business men, in which $75,-
600 was raised for the Washburn col
| lege endowment fund.
BY the success in this undertaking
the college endowment fund will be
increased to the extent of one hun
dred thousand dollars. The Wash
burn college endowment fund some
time ago received a conditional oIIer
from the general education board
which has at it's dispensation several
millions of dollars for educational pur-
poses. The amount offered was twenty
five thousand dollars and was condl-
tional upon the college raising seven
tv-five thousand dollars in Topeka.
The conditions now having been fuzzy
met the college is one hundred thou
sand dollars better off than before
The college trustees will not stop
now. however. There has been an
other conditional gift of fifty thousand
dollars promised by Andrew Carnegie.
In order to secure this the college
must secure a like sum. When this
amount has been raised the conditions
which are attached to another gift of
fifty thousand will also have been met.
When all these conditions have been
complied with the college is to receive
a thirty-five thousand dollar gymna-
sil1m from a New England friend. In
all when the conditions attached to all
the gifts have been fulfilled the funds
of the college will be increased to the
extent of two hundred and eighty-hve
thousand dollars.
Only two conditions stood in the way
of realizing all these amounts The
greatest one, that of raising seventy
FIVE thousand dollars in Topeka is now
out of the road and ALI that now re-
mains is the raising of fifty thousand
dollars in the state of Kansas before
January l.
The final day of the campaign was
marked by big climax in the amount
raised. Over. ten thousand dollars
has been subscribed to the fund since
the meeting of the committee on Sat
urday. the record far eclipsing that OF
any previous days work. There were
no donations kept up the sleeves of
the committee in order to swell the
subscriptions. The campaign was one
of the most remarkable ever made in
Topeka and was one of the most epen
as everything was given to the public
as soon as it took place.
A gift of over three thousand dol
lars has been reported from the Wash
burn Alumni association. Part of this
came from outside of the city but is
reported with the fund raised in the
city for the sake of keeping the origi-
nal seventy-five thousand dollars from
shrinking from shortage. Another gift
of thirteen hundred represents the
collections secured by DR.. D. M. Fisk,
field representative of the college in
his travels over the state.
The final result of the campaign is

WILL GIVE MANY
SPECIAL PRIZES
Regatta Committee Anxious
for Races Between
Cruisers.

1t seems likely that there will be a
strong play made to induce Admiral
Dayton to stay over for Regatta Day
in order that the cruisers may have a
chance to try out their crews in this
city. In speaking of the matter last
night a member of the Regatta Com
mittee said:
81 shall try to get the members of
the committee together tomorrow and
call on Admiral Dayton to ask if it
can not be arranged for the cruisers
to stay in the harbor till after our
holiday. I can promise that we will
put in events which will attract great
deal of attention from the navy men
and will make them enjoy the day.
We can arrange for race for the
championship of the squadron and give
a good prize for it. Another event
which I think would be very interest
ing would be race off the harbor
for the cutters. A launch race might
be interesting and fourteen or six
teen cared barge race has been sug
gested.
81 can promise, in the name of the
committee, that we viii do everything
possible to make the day an enjoyable
one for the officers and men in the
"Big Four and hope that the Adj
miral can be induced to hold the fleet
over here for couple of days.
IF there should be a race between
the racing crews of the four ships it
is stated that there would be fine sport
seen. The crew of the Maryland is
said to be the fastest of the four, with
the Colorado a close second and tho
Pennsylvania and West Virginia fol
have been prepared for this work by
the Maryland and Colorado are said 70
be very fast indeed, having been taken
to pieces and made much lighter and
faster than they were originally.
A race between the fastest crew IN
the Big Four, and a crew of native
boat boys would be well worth seeing.
The navy people offer to take two OF
their boats and give the Hawaiians the
choice of the two, in case such race
could be arranged. The boat boys are
strong and are used to hard pulling,
so they would have no hesitation in
going up against the sailors
