PUSHING THE CENSUS.
Population of Large Cities Given Out
in July and August.


Washington, June 20.-E. Dana Du-
rand, director of the census, is now de-
voting the greater portion of his time
10 organizing his force so that the
public may know at the earliest pos
slple moment the result of the census
OF the leading cities of the country
Director Durand is of the opinion
that his force will be in readiness 20
tabulate the returns of the supervisors
OF the cities of the country of $4,000
or over so that announcements may be
made public during the months of July
and August. Full returns from many
of the large cities are now in the hands
OF the director and the work of tabula-
ton is about to commence.
1t was said today that the census of
Washington would probably be the
first to be announced to be followed as
rapidly as possible by the cities in the
order in which returns have been re-
ported by the supervisors. Director
Durand intends to issue two bulletins
daily to the press of the country car
rying announcement of the results of
the census takers of the cities. One
bulletin will be issued daily at IL a. m.
and a second will be issued at 6
o'clock, thus furnishing copy for
afternoon and morning newspapers.
When the work is fairly started these
bulletins will fall thick and fast, and
even at that it will probably consume
the months of July and August to conf
plete the returns from the cities.

C. H. GAUNT RESIGNS.
Assistant General Manager of santa Fe
Quits.

C. H. Gaunt has rendered his resig-
nation as assistant general manager of
the Santa Fe. He will become general
superintendent of the Pacific division
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany.
Mr. Gaunt came to Topeka to enter
the service of the Santa Fe eight years
ago as superintendent of telegraph.
He served in that capacity until De-
cember 10. 1905. when he was ap-
pointed assistant general manager of
the Santa Fe under General Manager
Hurley. When the appointment was
made Mr.. Hurley's jurisdiction ex-
tended over about 5000 miles of the
company's lines. extending from Chi
cago to Albuquerque and Ell Paso.
About a year ago it was found neces-
sary to divide the territory into two
divisions of about 5000 miles each.
Mr.. Hurley remained in the position
of general manager of the eastern di-
vision and c. w. Kouns was appointed
general manager of the western divi-
sion, with headquarters at Amarillo,
Tex The legal and accounting de-
partments for both divisions remained
in Topeka, however. and Mr.. Gaunt
was reappointed assistant general man
ager of both divisions. He has held
that position until now. and at the
same time has held jurisdiction over
the telegraph of the Santa Fe.

SARBACH SUIT SETTLED.
Question of Validity of the Notes Left
Unsettled.

The suit of the German-American
bank of Topeka against Max Sarbach
and A. J. Camden of Holton, which oc-
cupied two court days last week and
was continuing today, was settled sat
isfactory to both sides this forenoon
The settlement was not made known
but the bank claim was $500 on the
note on which the suit was brought
and other claims OF the bank against
the defendants amounting to a similar
amount were settled at the same time
by the plaintiffs.
The claims had all grown out of the
interests of Albert Sarbach, bankrupt
suicide, brother of Max Sarbach, who
had secured the notes. The contention,
however, was that he had not signed
the notes but that his name had been
forged on them. The banks attorneys
were evidently on the verge of gaining
a verdict proving that he did sign them
when the settlement was offered. A. ].
Camden was agpartner with Albert

OFF FOR The ARCTIC.
Whitney and Bartlett Sail on the Same
Vessel.

Boston, June 20.-Carrying boun-
tiful supply of trinkets and gum drops
for the Igloo jewellers of the frozen
north, the steamship Bethoic, char
tered by Harry Whitney of New Hav-
en-, Conn, and Paul ]. Rainey of C1eve-
land, for hunting expedition in the

day. The Bethoic is under the COM
mand of Captain Robert Bartlett. who
made the trip with Peary. Others on
the steamer were DR.. M. ]. Johnson
of Lexington, KY, and Hugh M. In
man of New York.
Speculation as to whether Mr.. Whit
ney would attempt to recover the rec
ords alleged to have been left by Dr.
F. A. Cook at Etah remained unsat-
isfied by the last word of Captain Bart
lett, who said:
I'VE probably will not bother to
take the time to hunt up Cooks rec
ords"

ARE BUYING ARMS.
Mexican Insurgents Preparing for
General Uprising.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 20.-According
to Mexican secret service men, two
meetings were held in this city sun
day by anti-Diaz Mexicans, the meet
ings being preliminary, the secret
service agents believe, to an attempt at
a general uprising when General Ber-
nard Reyes returns from Europe. Of
ficers of the Mexican troops stationed
at Ciudad Juarez, across the river
from Ell Paso have reports that there
has been active purchasing of arms in
Ell Paso, Bisbee, Douglas and Naco.
Cananea, Mex, June 20.-Four men
who were arrested by Mexican rurales
twenty miles north of here yesterday
and taken to Nogales had in their
possession thirty-five hundred rounds
of ammunition, two rifles, two car
bines, and two revolvers, which had
been smuggled over the border. The
arms are believed to be part of large
quantity purchased by Mexicans with
in the last few days in American bor-
der towns.

For Stealing Musical instruments.

Deputy Sheriff Ben Judkins acted as
receiver Sunday night for two of the
participants in a merrymaking which
took place south of town near Tevis,
on the Missouri Pacific railroad. They
were Julia Wilson and Mabel Rice, col
ored. They, with one called Benjamin
Jefferson Washington, had spent the
day with John Brown, farmer When
they left Mr. Brown missed two gull
tars and telephoned to town about it.
The girls walked home and encoun-
tered Mr.. Judkins . on the railroad
track at Twenty third street. They
say Mr.. Brown is guilty of malicious
prosecution, as the musical instru-
ments are not his.

Greet assistance in keeping it, So it
became known all over town. At the
White House all that could be learned
was that such a letter had been re-
ce1ved- Those who think they know
what was in it, said it was merely a
friendly reply to a friendly letter" The
letter was sent by Mr.. Taft so that it
reached Mr.. Roosevelt just before he
sailed from England. Both letters are
said to have been comparatively long
and Utmost wholly of a personal char
acter, largely, if not entirely avoiding
political and official questions-in short
just such letters as would naturally
pass between two old friends such as
the two men have been to each other
Tor years. Those who really known
what was in the letter will not tell.

THE TROUBLESOME RULES.
Speaker Cannon Defends Rules Adopt.
ed and Enforced.

Washington, June 2O.-The old rules
of the house were defended and the
critics of the speaker were severely
scored by Speaker Cannon in a. brief
address late in the session of the house
Saturday.
Mr.. Cannon contended that the rules
as adopted by the Fifty-first congress
and as enforced by him had never in
terfered with the will of the majority
of the house when an actual majority
had been obtained on any proposition.
He scored newspaper and magazine
writer's who had criticised him and de-
clared that they had proceeded from a
lack of knowledge and upon false pre-
misses The speaker was greeted by
cheers from his Republican colleagues,
when he had concluded.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin,
one of the leading insurgents" at
tempted to reply, but there was objec-
ton and no one had an opportunity to
answer the speakers arguments
Too many members introduce bills
that they do not desire passed." said
Mr.. Cannon, explaining the troubles
that face a speaker.
Referring directly to Champ Clark.
the speaker suggested that the gentle
man from Missouri would make the
best speaker the minority could obtain
This remark was a signal for an ova :
ton by the Democrats in honor of their
floor leader.
Mr.. Cannon said that not half as
many bills were passed under the new
unanimous consent rule as formerly
and ridiculed the suggestions about his
role as GEAR" Whatever the claYnor
might be he declared that he preferred
to maintain his fidelity to the majority
of the house. Referring to newspape
and magazine writer's he said he WoIld
rather keep his own self-respect than
bend to demagogues and the seIf-con-
stituted righteous ones WHO criticise

RETURN TO OYSTER BAY.
Colonel Roosevelt Is Given a Hearty
Welcome by His Neighbors.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 2O.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt arrived in Oyster Bay
from New York at o'clock Saturday
night on a special train over the Long
Island railroad, engaged by the Roose-
welt Neighbors' association of Nassau
county, 400 members of which made
the trip with him.
The run from Long Island City was
made without a stop, most of the time
through pelting rain. This, however,
did not keep the residents of the towns
along the line from turning out to
greet him. AS soon as the tran was
under way, Colonel Roosevelt emerged
from his private car and walked
through all of the eight other cars,
shaking hands with his neighbors and
chatting with them.
The rain had stopped by the time
the engineer, with prolonged footing
of his whistle, slowed down for oyster
Bay. The whole town was out at the
station, and the cheering throng al
most swept the ex-president from his
feet as he stepped to the ground. Bow
ing and shaking hands with his old
friends he walked through the mud to
the ball park, where a grandstand had
been erected About 5000 persons
gathered on the green.
Makes Speech to Neighbors.
Five hundred high school pupils
were the first to do the honors They
sang Home Again." Then William j
eny, delivered the address of welcome
Colonel Roosevelt replied as follows:

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, ILL.,, June 20.-WHEAT-Orders
to buy filled the wheat pit today. The
fact that general rains were shown no
where in the northwest was the one big
factor. Individual operations were lost
sight of in the wholesale rush to be among
the first to purchase Cable dispatches
and all else not bearing on the drouth sit
uation in the spring crop district were
ignored.
A special forecast from Washington
that temperatures would be above the
average during the first half of the week
was seized on with eagerness. So was
gossip that if the drouth continued the
normal and the present export level of
prices would prove too low. A dispatch
from Larimere. n. D., asserted that the
condition of wheat had declined fifteen
per cent in week and that the loss each
day would increase rapidly until the state
had a general rain. Unless a downpour
came quick conditions would be sensa-
tionaL The market opened 1s@14c to 114@
19sc higher. September started 1sqAc to

9314c. Some profit taking caused a recess

A big decrease in the visible supply
caused still greater advance. Then the

orders to buy were almost as numerous as
in wheat. September opened a shade to
3s012c higher at So to $3.50 adanced to
$3.50 and reacted to $685. 05919c.
Despite fine weather the market adj
vanced further. The close was strong
with September at 6Ol4@609sc, a net gain
of 1850.
Notwithstanding much realizing
oats went up with other grains. Septem-
Der started 1s@Ac to 1a@5sc higher at 3614c
to $3.50, reached $3.50 and then fell back
to 361ac.
PROVISIONS Commission buying for
investors and shorts put up provisions.
The opening was at a gain of 21s to 15c
and there was a further advance on pork
and lard. First prices for the September
option were $22.70 to so. 70 for pork; SIZE
for lard and $12.6212 to $12.1212 for ribs.
