ALL KANENREJOICES

The Farmers Give .Up to Merry
Making.

DLD PROSPERITY ARRIVES

 

l‘opeka Gives Herself Up to a Week’s
Carvinal—Processions Every Day,
and a Grand Gourt Bull in the
State Capitol.

Topeka, Kan., Sept. 29.-—Kansas is
holding a monster festival here this
week. It is in celebration of the re-
turn of prosperity which has undoubt-

edly struck this State with greater

force than any other State in the
Union. Nature has been generous
to Kansas this year. Enormous crops
of all kinds have been raised and have
been marketed at high prices. As a
result the farmers, who a few months
ago were crying about hard times and
looking with despair towards a doubt—
ful future, now suddenly find them-
selves the plutocrats of the State.
Their wealth has been so unexpect—
edly thrust upon them that in their
exutation they hardly know what to
do with it. Hence it happens that
Topeka this week is in a happy frame
of mind, and its antics are in marked
:ontrast to the scenes witnessed in the
State a few months ago.

Farmers who for years have hardly
left their fields can be seen “out with
the boys seeing the town,” and spend-
Lng their money freely.

The celebration is conducted on an
elaborate scale and without regard to
expense. Thousands of dollars have
been spent on the. floats and displays;
the central idea in their construction
being to show the advancement of the
State, especially its wonderful achieve-
'nents this year.

The great day of the week will be
Thursday. This is known as Floral
Day, and the festivities will be similar
to those of the Fiesta of Los Angeles.
On Thursday evening the grand court
ball, the crowning event of the week,
will be held in the State Capitol. Fri-
day is to be Veterans’ Day and Satur-
day Children’s Day.

WILLIS A. TRASK MISSING.

He Is Treasurer of the Borough of
\Vallingford, Ct.

New Haven, Ct., Sept. 29.—Willis A.
Trask, treasurer of the borough of
Wallingford, and teller of the First
National Bank of that place, is miss-
ing, and he is not expected to return.
I‘rask’s accounts with the borough are
In a complicated state, and it is al—
leged that there is a shortage of sev-
eral thousand dollars. The bank offi—
cials say that his accounts with that
institution are all right, but an official
if the bank also said that he did not
expect Trask back.

Trask left Wallinlgford ten days ago,
ostensibly for his annua two weeks’
vacation. The day he left the bank his
wife gave birth to a baby boy. He
did not tell his wife that he was leav—
lng, and when two or three days had
passed and 'he was still absent, she
worried herself into an attack of fever,
and is now in a critical condition. It is
also learned that Trask left her penni-
‘ess, and she and her two children are
now being provided with the necessa-
ries of life and medical attendance by
her friends.

Trask was born in Wallingford, and
married a very estimable young wom-
an, Miss May Thompson, a daughter of
Mr. Gilbert F. Thompson, one of the
most substantial citizens of the
borough. He always bore an excellent
character.

JERSEY FOLKS WILL RACE.

Anti-Gambling Amendment Has
Been Defeated.
Trenton, Sept. 29.—0verconfidencc,

.oupled with neglect on the part of
chose favoring the adoption of the
1mendments to the State Constitution,
resulted in the defeat of the three
amendments voted upon in New Jersey
Yesterday. Because those who did not
Favor the adoption of the amendments
lid not make any fuss or noise in their
opposition, those who wished it made
unpossible to legalize gambling took it
for granted the voting would be as one—
rided as the shouting.

In some of the counties the voters
spoke in favor of the amendments, but
Hudson, Essex and Passaic rolled up
majorities against them that were im-
oossible to overcome. Middlesex sprang
t surprise by giving a majority against
the amendments. This was counted as
one of the counties sure to vote in their
favor. Hudson piled up a big major-
ty—almost 10,000—against them. Essex
did her share to down them, and Pas-
saic, in proportion to her vote, did the
most.

The rural sections voted in favor of
:he amendments and the cities against
ihem.

Portland, Me., Sept. 29.—Gen. Neal

his last hours were full of cheer.

 

Harvard and Cornell Will Meet.

Cambridge, Sept. 29. —- Concerning
Harvard’s attitude on the question

Cornell.

Men Will Not Stop to Help \Vomen
Over the Terrible Road.

‘ San Francisco,‘ Sept. 29.—A letter
from Theodore Getz of this city, who
is now struggling to get over the
Skaguay trail, gives a terrible picture
of the absolute selfishness of the min-
ers who are striving to reach the Klon-
dike before snow comes. Getz says:
“We met two women traveling alone
in the pass, and they earnestly pleaded
with the men to assist them on their
way, but the men had no time for any
display of gallantry, and stolidly re-
fused to stop. These women had a
light stock of provisicns and will be in
a bad fix unless they get assistance
from the other side of the pass. I can
confirm the news that one man was
hanged here for stealing” some pro—
visions, and two others were shot for
thefts. Order and law are well main-
taincd, and little trouble occurs.

“In some parts of the pass, where the
trail is very narrow, the ‘empties,’ as
the returning pack animals are called,
have to be shelved, that is, hauled up
the mountain side and held there to
allow loaded animals to pass. The
packers sleep in their boots, as I have
seen them do for nine days, with short
rations and feet always wet, and it
did not hurt them in the least. 0n the
trail a man is continually hungry, and
provisions go rapidly.”

 

PURSUED THE FILIBUSTER.

Fleet Stealner Smith Landed Three
Expeditions in Cuba.

Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 29.—It is now
known here that the steamer Summers
N. Smith landed at least three expedi-
tions of men, arms and ammunition in
Cuba during her voyage from Mobile
to this port. Her expeditions wer
without serious mishap, although she
was nearly captured by the gunboat
Helena.

The Helena left Pensacola in pursuit
one week after the Smith sailed from
Mobile. The gunboat sighted the fili-
buster west of Tortugas and fired a
shot to bring her to. The Smith put on
a~fu11 head of steam and went south,
past Cape Antoine, followed a short
distance by the Helena, which was soon
distanced.

The Smith returned the same night
and landed her cargo before daylight.
On another occasion she was brought
to by the Winona and searched. She
was then returning from a successful
trip, and as nothing contraband was
found on board she was allowed to pro-
ceed. “Dynamite Johnny” O’Brien, it
is said, commanded the Smith.

POSTAL SAV-INGS BANKS.

General Gary Recommend a Plan to

Congress.
Washington, D. 0., Sept. 29.—One
of the principal features of Post-

master-General Gary’s annual report
is expected to be a recommendation
to Congress for the establishment of
a postal savings bank system. This
subject has been frequently agitated
in the past, but nothing has ever come
of it. Postmaster-General Gary is
very enthusiastic on the subject,‘ and
has outlined in a general way his ideas
of how the system should be operated.
He expects to have a. practical plan
developed before Congress meets in
regular session next December.

In discussing the subject the other
day Mr. Gary said that he would like

to have a system so perfect that a‘

small boy could take advantage of it

and deposit his nickel if he had no.

more to put away. He suggests that
the government should accept deposits
and invest the money in safe and re-
liable interest—bearing securities. Such
investments, he thinks, would enable
the government to pay an interest rate

of 2 per cent. per annum and possibly'
leave a surplus for operating expenses. .

New York, Sept. 29.—Candidate Seth
Low called his friends and ’supporters
into conference at his house, Sixty-
fourth street and Madison avenue,
Tuesday, and spent fully two hours
with them in a frank and thorough
discussion of the situation. He said
there were rumors that a move would
be made to create a sensation in which
both he and Gen. Tracy would he asked
to withdraw, and he desired to
know the will of his supporters All
were unanimous in urging Mr. Low to
make the mayoralty fight and he then
announced that he would. Mr. Low
has not yet heard from Gen. Tracy
later than the word brought him from
Gen. Tracy two months ago that he
(Tracy) would not be a candidate
against him.

BICYCLE CAUSE FOR DIVORCE.

After Twenty-five Years of Married
Life a Couple Is Separated.

Poughkeepsie, Sept. 29.——-After twen-
ty-five years of married life Mrs. Au-
gustus T. Cookingham of Hyde Park
has brought suit for a separation. Au-
gustus Cookingham is 55 years old, and
is a prosperous seed dealer. Four years
ago he employed his niece, Miss Luella
Palmater, 20 years old, to assist him.

Mrs. Cookingham in her complaint
states that soon her husband began to
show marked attention to Miss Palma-
ler, and to take her with him when he
went bicycle riding. As Mrs. Cook-
ingham does not ride a bicycle, she has
to stay at home. Mr. Cookingham and
Miss Palmater attended church fairs
together, and even rode to this city and
went to the theatre. Finally, Mrs.
Cookingham' says, Miss Palmatcr re-

. fused to speak to her in her own house.

Then Mrs. Cookingham went away and

"through her attorney commenced an

action for separation, which will be
tried before Judge Barnard at Special
Term on next Saturday.

GENERAL TRACY NOMINATED.

A Gold Democrat Named for Comp-
troller of New York.

' New York, Sept. 29.-—The Republican
convention last night nominated for
Mayor of the greater city Gen. Benja-
min F. Tracy. District Attorney Olcott
and Jacob Worth, of
Brooklyn, nominated Seth Low. The
vote resulted in Tracy receiving 297;
Low, 49; Schroeder, 2. Present Comp-
troller Fitch, a Democrat, was nomi-
nated for the position he now holds.

Gen. Tracy, in accepting the nomina-
tion, said in part:

“Two considerations have induced
me after most anxious thought to ac-
cept the nomination which you have
tendered me; first, the gravity of the
crisis which now confronts the peOple
of this great city; and, second, the
fact that so many Republicans and
other friends of good government, in
whose judgment I have confidence,
have urged me to accept your nomina-
tion in the hope that in the present
state of division and disunion I can
contribute somewhat to bring into har-
monious action and to unite under one
banner all the opponents of Tam-
many Hall.

“The gravity of the crisis is appar-
ent to all thinking men, whether it be
viewed from a national or from a local
standpoint. The spectre of Bryanism
will not down, and what has been well
called ‘the campaign of disturbance
and devastation’ is still_ going on. In
the providence of God, the Republican
party for more than forty years has
been the great bulwark of national

honor and prosperity, and its mission

is not ended. In the future as in the
past it should be the, effort of all Re-
publicans to make it the instrument of
the people to secure good government
in the city as well as in the State and
in the nation. Any attempt to disin-
tegrate, weaken or destroy that
organization in this great commercial
metropolis, however well intended, is,
I must be permitted to believe, a
grievous mistake, fraught with calam-
ity and disaster.

“If it shall hereafter appear to your
representatives that instead of pro-
moting harmony and success my can-
didacy stands in their way, I should
wish to have your permission to adopt
that course which, in my judgment and
In the judgment of your representa-

tives, shall seem to be the course of -

duty and of honor. Nothing could be
more hateful to me than the thought
that I had perversely stood in the way
of that complete union of all possible
Tammany
Hall which provides the best assurance
of success.”

The convention did not for some un-
accountable reason indorse the admin-
istration of Mayor Strong, although it
had kind words in its platform for
President McKinley and Gov. Black.

 

SPLOT TO KILL THE CZAR.

 

A Tunnel Dug Under One of the
Streets of \Varsnw.
Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.
London, Sept. 29.—An elaborate plot
against the Czar and Czarina was con-
cocted several weeks before the arrival

of their Majesties on their recent visit ,

to Warsaw, and has just come to light.

The, conspirators undermined Novis-
viat street, one of the principal thor-
oughfares of the city, running between
the Governor’s palace and the royal
castle, where the Czar resided during
his sojourn. As the tunneling was
completed the earth above the excava-
tion threatened to collapse, and the
conspirators hired masons to strength-
en the tunnel. The latter became sus-
picious of the use to which the tunnel
was to be devoted and informed the
police.

The conspirators were captured. The
total number of arrests made was 120.

No Trouble at Hawaii.

W'ashington, Sept. 29.—-Mail dis-
patches from Honolulu were received
at the State and Navy departments
yesterday. Minister Sewall’s report re-
viewed the conditions prevailing in
Hawaii. He said that the Japanese
were acting in a peaceable manner,
and that no trouble of any sort was
apprehended. The Minister’s report
contained the interesting information
that the Japanese Government was
willing to settle its claims against
Hawaii for the payment of $100,000 in
gold.

In view of the prospect afforded by
this peaceable method of arranging the
differences between the two countries,
Mr. Sewall thought hostilities were not
In any degree likely, although he did
not say that Hawaii would agree to
Japan’s proposition. The Hawaiian
Government has combated the Jap-
anese contention that a suitable in-
demnity should be paid for the refusal

of the authorities of the republic to al—

low Japanese immigrants to land, and
for violation of treaty provisions.

Star Pointer’s Netv Record.

Terre Haute, Sept. 29.—At the annual
meeting of the Terre Haute Trotting
Association yesterday the special fea-
tures Were Star Pointer’s attempt to
beat his record of 1.5914, an exhibition
mile by Joe Patchen, and a 2.18 pace for
a. purse of $5,000. The first quarter
was covered in 3134 seconds. When
this time was displayed there was lit-
tle hope left for a two—minute mile.
The half was done in 1.01%, with the
fastest part of the track to be traveled.
The third quarter was in 28 seconds, a
1.52 gait. It was the fastest quarter
ever made, and. the half mile in 588/4,
seconds is the fastest half-mile record.
Horsemen said that they had heard of
quarters in 28 seconds, but never before
saw a' horse step it. ,-

, Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.—Comp-
troller Fitch, of New York City, has
had probably as unique a political rec-
ord as any man in public life. A life.
long Republican, he was elected to
Congress in a. strong Democratic dis-
trict, changed his political belief, ow-
ing to divergent views on the tariff,
and was re-elected to Congress as a
Democrat, and later became the or-
ganization candidate for Comptroller;
now he is renominated for Comptroller
of the big city by the Republican Con-
vention.

Senator Quay’s continued stay in
Florida is causing much comment. In
spite of the fact that there are impor-
tant political contests going on in
Ohio, Maryland and Kentucky, as well
as local contests in his own State,
Pennsylvania, the Republican leader
has announced that he will not return
East until the latter part of October.

It is announced at the White House
that President McKinley will not
leave for Washington probably until
Wednesday afternoon, arriving in
Washington Thursday morning. It is
said there will be no appointments an-
nounced from, the White House until
the President’s return.

The Comptroller of the Currency an-
nounces that the Niagara County Na-

LU ETGERT EXPERT TESTIFIES.

IContradiction of the Prosecution’s
Case as to the Vat Boiling.

Chicago, Sept. 29.—The defense, in
the Luetgert wife-murder case began
to present its expert testimony Tues-
day. Dr. Bernard L. Reise, whose rep-
utation is quite as undisputed as that
of any of the State's experts, was on
the witness stand all the morning and
part of the afternoon. As was ex-
pected, Dr. Reise’s testimony, based
on his experiments with the boiling
of human bodies in the same vat
said to have been used by Luetgert
in killing his wife, was contrary to the
theory of the prosecution in all mater-
ial details. In the first place, he de-
clared it was impossible to heat the
potash solution to the boiling point in
the vat. He tried it repeatedly and
failed. Dr. Reise further sought to
deny the truth of the State’s hypoth-
esis by testifying that the solution
had absolutely no effect on artificial
teeth; that all the pieces of the skull

the spinal column, forearm and heel
were also found in the bottom of the
vat.

' Armadale Updike, a. .peddler, testi-
fled that he saw Mrs. Luetgert on
June 9 near McHenry, Ill., forty-five
miles from Chicago, and one or two
witnesses added their testimony to-
ward impeaching Emma Schimpke,
Who swore she saw Mr. and Mrs.
Luetgert enter the sausage factory to-
gether the night of May 1. '

 

Bridget Hayes Not Poisoned.

Newburg, Sept. 29.—The inquest into

Carpenter’s house a. fortnight ago, is

stomach to New York for analysis. The
chemists informed him that there was
no trace of poison. It is now positive
that the woman was murdered, and a
verdict was so rendered.

$100,000 for Their Heads.

San Francisco, Sept. 29.—Latest ad-
vices from Guatemala stats that $100,-
