Chicago, July 10. At today's meeting, the stockholders of the Ogden Gas company of Chicago, will vote on a proposition to authorize an issue of of bonds. Incidentally, they will vote on what seems to be preparatory to one of the fiercest gas wars ever known. At the present $2,000,000 of the new issue will be sold and about the beginning of next May $5,000,000 more will be marketed, while $3,000,000 will remain in the treasury for future contingencies. The Ogden Gas company has detailed plans calling for the expenditure of $7,000,000.

The extension of business and enlargement of the present rapacity now under way will require 42,000,000. With that enlarged plant as a center the company will be ready to spend the other $5,000,000. The campaign contemplated by the Ogden company will be to put mains into the best of the People's Gas territory, and it will be a war between gas companies at $1 and gas at 90 cents. Furthermore, it is said the Ogden plan contemplates a cut In price to 76 cents per 1,000 feet. TEXAS FLOOD DAMAGE.

Xhirty-seven People Drowned and the Property Loss Will Be $8,500,000. Galveston, July 10. Relief work In the Brazos flooded district has been systematized, three relief trains leaving Houston. Galveston and San Antonio daily. Probably 20.000 negroes are now being fed and will need to be sustained for some time by the relief committees.

The water is falling at all points except the Brazoria county. All sorts of estimates are made as to the amount of cotton loss. An estimate of 50 per cent is considered conservative. This will be a money loss of The loss sustained by the destruction of other crops, houses, fencing, stock and bridges will be $2,500,000, while the loss to the railroads is probably $1,000,000, making a total of SS.oOO -COO. Owing to the exaggerated reports circulated as to the loss of life in the recent floods, the Xews has made a special effort to secure the facts from each country.

Reports received from 13 coun COOK CAN'T SPOIL. Grape-Nuts Need No Cooking and the Flavor is Assured. People want food that has a palatable toothsome taste, and one that will recall a. pleasant taste whenever the name is mentioned. That feature is a strong one in Grape-Nuts, the new breakfast food, made by Postum Battle Creek, Mich.

Ko cooking is required, hence the taste is not dependent upon the cook, but is just what the makers intended it to be. It Is often served cold and drv with a bit of rich cream in part of the saucer. If one wants a hot dish, a little hot milk can be poured1 over some Grape-Nuts and there you are, a most fetching dish, furnish. ng the high nutritive lvalue of grape-sugar.

Mrs. Ada Addis-Storke, who was to be sentenced to the superior court today for criminal libel, must now answer a charge of attempting to murder Attorney Grant Jackson in a sensational manner. Mrs. Storke stealthily entered his bed room some time during the night by cutting the screen from the window. She had with her two pistols, a four-ounce bottle of chloroform and a bottle of prussic acid.

The attorney awoke, detected the fumes of chloroform and saw a dark figure sitting on the floor with a loaded revolver pointed at him. He asked "Who's there?" and Mrs. Storks replied, demanding his pistol and as she had the drop on him, he gave up his weapon. She told him not to stir as she would shoot him if he did, but later she ordered him to go and take the mutilated screen from the window as she feared some one might think a burglary had been committed and come in to investigate. She followed him with the pistol, but as he returned he seized a favorable instant to seize her and after a desperate struggle disarmed her.

One of her pistols was discharged but the bullet went through the lioor. Mrs. Storke, who was once a popular newspaper writer, claims that she only went to Jackson's room to plead with him to clear her of charges against her. She says she always carries a pistol and uses chloroform for heart trouble. She was recently convicted of having written scandalous letters reflecting upon the character of a prominent physician.

She is now in Jail. ZINC IN CHASE COUNTY. Capt. Brandley Says the County Is Pull of Ore. 'A few days ago John E.

Krost wrote to Captain H. Brandley, of Matfleld Green, Chase county, asking him about the reports of zinc indications in that locality. Captain Brandley is secretary of the Chase county National bank, and is one of the oldest and best known citizens of the county. In hisrepiytfl Mr. Frost, he says: "In answer to yours of yesterday I will say: The country is full of zinc ore and we have known it many years.

Of what benefit is zinc without lead or coal? Why, the coping of some of my stone walls are of the best zinc material. It requires coal to develop this mineral, and not only coal, but also lead, for the same purpose that quicksilver is used in obtaining gold. We have had for years indications of oil." His Friends Claim He Has Votes Enough to Insure His lie-nomination. New Tork, July 10. Friends of Col.

Bryan in this city were prepared today to submit fig-urea in support of their claim that he would be the candidate for the next Democratic national convention. A table of the states which they assert will surely stand by Mr. Bryan yields 626 votes more than two- thirds necessary to nominate. They ex clude from their list as anti-Bryan just twelve eastern states. Ex-Governor James S.

Hogg of Texas, when shown the claim made by the Bryan committee, said: "It is rather an underestimate than an overestimate of Colonel Bryan's strength. His majority in the convention will be so overwhelming- that no exact estimate can be safely made no a-. "I knew nothing of the movement to eliminate the two-thirds vote proposition and substitute that by which only a majority of the delegates can nominate. "But I am tired of being- Interviewed, and have concluded to go off on a fishing trip for a few days for a rest. Yes, I had hoped to meet ex-Governor "William J.

Stone of Missouri, acting chairman of the Democratic national committee here today. I trust he may be here tomorrow or next day. If he is, I shall see him." The Tammany people ridicule the claim made by Colonel Bryan, but have no figures to offer as against the 66 votes said to be pledged to the Ne-braskan. Ex-Senator Gorman, Judge Van Wyck. John F.

Carroll, acting leader, and other Tammany leaders, held a further consultation today over the proposed Gorman-Van Wyck-anti-Bryan combination. At the conclusion of the conference. Senator Gorman left for Boston. His intention was to remain at least a fortnight in New England and, if possible, solidify the Democrats in that section against Colonel Bryan. It was said at the Hoffman house today that Senator Martin of Virginia will represent the Gorman-Van Wyck folks at the Chicago conference, July 20.

Should Senator James K. Jones conclude, because of ill health, to retire as chairman of the Democratic national committee, the Gorman-Van Wyck people may strive to have Senator Martin chosen in his stead. This would precipitate a contest between Martin and ex-Governor Stone of Missouri, who is understood to be the choice of Colonel Bryan. Senator Gorman said before leaving tmvn today that he probably would not attend the Chicago conference in person. "But." he added, laughingly, "I probably shall be there in spirit." TOO MUCH NAME.

Otis Given a Set Back by General Corbin. Washington, July 10. General Otis cables the following: "Two veteran regiments assured. Will enlist about 1.UO0. You can appoint eleven second lieutenants for first and nine for second regiment to recruit in the nited States: all other offices tilted.

Regiments styled First and Second Philippine United States veteran volunteer infantry." Adjutant General Corbin cabled General Otis that these designations could not be allowed for the Philippine regiments and in order to save confusion they would be called the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh United States volunteer infantry. TO WEAK YIOLET GOGGLES. With Them Soldiers Can Locate Smokeless Powder Batteries. Washington, July 10. Acting on the discovery of Colonel Smart, assistant surgeon general, UT.

S. that violet glass will locate the flash of a gun using smokeless powder.General A. R. Buffing-ton. chief of ordnance of the war depart-men, has ordered a number of "goggles and binoculars for use in the Philippines." Colonel Smart has made extensive experiments on colored glass for this purpose at the army medical museum.

Speaking of his experiments today, Ke said "I used glasses of various colors, such as blue, red, green, etc. I had smokeless powder burned so as to produce a flame, which I observed with the glasses in turn, and none of them gave good results. Finally I tried the violet glass, and through it the flame came out in bold relief. "It is a very simple experiment, but It is capable, of course, of very practical application in the field where the enemy is using smokeless powder. "The secret of the violet glass is that when leveled at a landscape it produces the immediate effect of twilight.

Under such conditions it is easy to observe the flash of a gun at a great distance or at a short distance. This glass will show a flash which would be impossible tj see by the naked eye, even at a short distance. "I think, however, that the best results will always be obtained from the use of a violet cap on a field glass or telescope. The practicability of discovering a means of revealing the flash of a smokeless powder gun was referred to me by the ordnance department, and I have nothing to do with the application of it for field service. "The president, I believe, was interested in the subject and referred it first to the secretary of war for investigation." The practical tests of this violet glass in warfare will be made in about six weeks against the Filipinos.

The ordnance department will send to General Otis a number of caps which can be fitted over field glasses and telescopes, and a number of goggles to be used by the men. In the interim, further experiments for the perfection of the device will be made at Fort Myer and Sandy Hook. J. W. Priddy can tell you how the Oxygenor enabled him to be at his book store again.

an old man living in North Topeka, has been adjudged insane in the probate court. Melancholia is given as the cause. A Topeka man with no ear for music calls attention to the fact that a mosquito sounds just like a mandolin, only not quite so loud. The lawn mower is the -white man burden in Topeka at this season of the years, but he usually hires a black man to take it up for him. A Topeka man made another man mad today by calling him "flat-headed." But he straightened matters by amending It to read "level-headed." The statement that there are microbes in river Ice leads a Topeka man to suggest that it ought to be boiled before using, the same as river water.

Other counties seem to be having the same experience as Shawnee in the matter of finding coyotes. The coyote bounty law has developed the fact that the pests are numerous in nearly every county in the state. The Hiawatha people who went on the Methodist excursion from Hiawatha to Leavenworth were disappointed because they were not allowed to go into the printing office at the penitentiary to see John Collins.

The affidavit is as follows: "State of Utah, County of Salt Lake: M. Owen, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: "That he is a citizen of the United States and a resident and taxpayer of the city and county of Salt Lake.

That he is informed and verily believes that on or about the 15th day of April, 189S, one Martha P. Hughes Cannon, became the mother of an illegitimate child. That the aforesaid Martha P.

Lisbon, July 10.. The skilled workmen in the local tin mill went out on b. strike today for the recognition of the union. As a result every department of the plant is stopped and S00 men are idle. A branch of the amalgamated association was org-ajiized, although the mill had been paving the scale.

The trust manager in charge of the mill announced that it would never be run as a union mill, and in view of the strike it is probable that the plant will be abandoned. The men had been warned what action would be taken in case of a strike or attempt to force a recognition of the union. REFORM SCHOOL REVOLT" Grows Out of a Change of Administration In South Dakota.

"MM state reform school here, whereby T. H. Thompkins, a Populist, was put in charge instead of a Republican, was made the occasion for a mutinous outbreak on the part of the inmates. The trouble occurred on Saturday, and has caused the management a good deal of uneasiness. The boys were out on the campus playing ball, when the order was given them to fall in line to march back to the building.

The youngsters refused point blank and took to their heels, the shouts of the new superintendent having no effect on them. The guards were at once called and the sheriff summoned, and all joined in the pursuit. Twenty-seven boys got away from the grounds, but after a long and heated chase, extending into the night, all were caught and brought back except two, a Norwegian and a big Indian, who are still at large. On their way back the boys made slurring remarks about the new "Pop" superintendent, and averred that they had-planned to make the break for liberty with the change of management. The ringleader is a big' fellow named John Williams.

MILITARY APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant Colonels Named For New Regiments. Washington, July 10. The president has appointed the following lieutenant colonels of volunteers: Major J. P.

Sergeant, who was colonel of the Fifth immune regiment during the war with Spain. He was appointed to West Point from Illinois. Captain John J. Brereton, of the Twenty-fourth infantry. He was appointed from New Jersey to West Point and graduated in 1877.

since which time he has been with the Twenty-fourth infantry. He was in the battle at San Juan Hill and highly commended for his coolness and bravery. Captain E. H. Plummer, Tenth infantry.

Captain Plummer was recommended for brevet for gallantry in action at Santiago. COAT TAILORS GO OUT. Between 10,000 and 12,000 Men to Strike In New York.

New Tork, July 10. The coat tailors, it is reported, are preparing to go out on strike for an advance in wages and a reduction of hours of labor. They are said to number between 10,000 and and of these 2,000 are women and girls. Most of these people formerly belonged to the Brotherhood of Tailors that is affiliated with the United Garment Workers of America, but they bolted and formed an independent national organization. They are not, however, affiliated with any central body and in the event of a strike, it is said they cannot expect any outside aid, not even from the clothing cutters.

The Brotherhood of Tailors now numbers about 1.000 members but these have better wages and are generaly better off than the independents. Some time ago the independent union asked the United Garment Workers whether it would support in the event of a strike and was told that it would not unless the independents were better organized. Nevertheless, the independents held a mass meeting last week and speeches were delivered urging the men to go out on strike. Henry White, general secretary of the United Garrrient Workers says: "The independents asked us several times to stand by them in a strike: but we told them that they must first be organized thoroughly. I believe that the men will strike, but strikes of the East side have always been costly affairs, and I do not think that we will have anything to do with the coming strike.

The men will probably win, as this is the busy season, but in six weeks they will lose all the ground that they may win, because they always become lax and careless after a victory."

Mayor Jones today took occasion to deny the stories that have been printed to the effect that he expects to be a candidate for governor in case John R.

McLean is nominated by the Democrats. Mayor Jones stated to the Associated Press that, personally, he is not anxious nor is he waiting an opportunity in any sort of disruption to take the field. He feels he owes the citizens of Toledo his services as mayor at least until such time as the people of the state demand an independent candidate. He will not hesitate then to go into the field for any office where he can be useful. It is thought the feeling will crystallize in the state after the Democratic convention.

At the Buffalo conference, Mayor Jones received assurance that the combined efforts of the reform movement will be with him should he desire to be a candidate. AN INDIAN POWWOW. Hundreds of Indians Gather at Decatur, Neb For Summer Festivities. Decatur, July 10. The annual Indian powwow opened at this place yesterday.

This is the big event among the redskins in this part of the country, and there were a large number on hand to enter upon the festivities. which will last for two weeks. Delegations from the Omaha reservation and from some of the South Dakota tribes have been coming in for several days, and there are not less than 200 aborigines present. They have brought their tents along with them, and these make quite a village, pitched out on the prairie. The big man is Yellow Smoke, a noted chief, who resides on the Omaha reservation and the ceremonies are being conducted near his lodge.

Chiefs and squaws take part in the powwow and are having a great time with their incantations and dances. Thus far the Indians are peaceable and there is little probability of trouble.
