A BIG SWINDLE NO DOUBT. Ex-Slave "Pensions" Being Engineered by Certain Colored Persons. The Kansas lodges of the National Ex-Slave Pension association will hold a convention in Topeka at the state house September 21-24 inclusive. This will be the first state convention of the association which has been held in Kansas. The association was organized to aid the old ex-slaves in securing pensions.

There are eighteen lodges in Kansas, all of which will send delegates to the convention in Topeka. About 125 delegates are expected and a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip has been allowed on the railroads. The Topeka lodge of the association has over 600 members on its rolls. Georpe Charles is the president. At the convention, which will be held at the state house, a permanent state organization will be made, and plans devised for the furtherance of the plan3 of the association.

There isn't the slightest chance of the ex-slaves securing pensions and it is high time they were warned that they are about to be swindled. AN AERIAL CYCLE. J. Ryder Has Invented and Ridden One 200 Feet in Air. New Tork, Aug.

5. J. Ryder of Richmond Hill, Long Island, a young man who has just passed the age of 19 years, has outstripped the scientists who for ages have been racking their brains over the invention of flying machines, and has actually flown an aerial bicycle from Hempstead, Long Island, to Richmond Hill. Mr. Ryder's account of his experiments and aerial trip is full of interest.

He said: "I built a machine to carry 500 pounds and on July 20 I was ready for my next experiment. I pumped the gas into the cone, seated myself in the loop, cut loose from the anchorage, and a't once rose 200 feet in the air. Then I worked the pedals against the wind and started for my home. I cannot explain the delightful sensation of sailing through the air or the easy motion of the machine. I flew directly over my father's place and en let the gas escape, and settled the ground like a bird on the wing, iut jerking and uncertain, like a balloon, but with a slow, steady, downward motion."

Colored People's Grand Celebration-Tonight There Will ta Two Brass Bands Incidents. There is a big time on at the fair grounds among the colored people. Three churches and Jackson's Military band are giving a three days' barbecue there. The three churches interested are the Shiloh Baptist, St. John's A.

M. E. and Lane Chapel C. M. E.

Exposition hall is being utilized and there are eating tables everywhere and booths wherein fancy work, all done by Topeka colored people and nicely done, too, is on exhibition. There are also some meritorious samples of colored art by colored people. A most elaborate programme has been arranged for the occasion in the way of musical and literary entertainment, but somehow the hot weather warped it and about the only thing on time was the eating, which couldn't help be from the fact that it covers the entire epoch of the barbecue. It is not a big old-fashioned barbecue exactly, like the one for which it was necessary to dig a trench as deep as a grave and rods in length and steal railroad rails on which to lay the sizzling oxen, but the meat order bill was more diversified, at least, for at this one there is beef, pork and mutton. To people who don't know how meat is cooked at a barbecue the operation is interesting.

In the first place a trench is dug. In this instance it is not more than two feet deep. It is perhaps four feet wide and as long as the amount of roasting you have to do demands. Across the pit are laid at intervals of perhaps eight inches, thick iron rods or pipes. Near the pit, wood in logs is burned.

Wood is never put under the big chunks of beef. When it has burned in the fire at the side sufficiently to become coals it is then shoveled into the pit so there is no flame there; or at least but very little. The meat to be roasted is cut into quarters and roasted till the flesh is ready to drop off the bones. Four or five hours generally suffices and a great deal of care has to be exercised in the matter of keeping exact the condition of the coals. Alex Mallory has charge of the roasting unaer Joe Clemens, who is master of ceremonies at the roasting pit, and is staying up all night to see that the thing is done right.

It is expected that this three days' barbecue will consume two or three beeves, six or eight hogs and three or four sheep. Inside of Exposition hall each church and the band has a department with tables. Over these tables preside turban-topped remembrances of antebellum cooking days down south, waving green branches to keep off imaginary flies for there are no real flies on antebellum cooking. The attendance at the barbecue has been about 500 and may reach 1,000 tonight. It was not big yesterday on account of the barbecue at Auburn but that was only a one day affair.

The big feature of the celebration is Prof. Jackson's Military band, which has the reputation of being the best colored band in the west. The professor himself leads them and does it with a grace and energy that would dazzle Sousa, Leading a band is no one-handed affair with Prof. Jackson. It takes two hands and a head to do it right, with a few stray impressario movements of the body thrown in.

There is no contortion of the well known "humpt ta da" that Prof. Jackson does enunciate with daring that often verges on foolhardiness with his right forefingers extended at the end of his air motorpathic arms. He started out in the afternoon with "The New Bully." That woke the people up. In the evening he played a large number of selections, among which appeared to be "Ye Barbecue in ye Present Time," "The Cookstove in the Fair Grounds," "The Hunt in the Dark Gathering," and several other highly descriptive pieces. At different times during the celebration so far such prominent brothers as Col.

John M. Brown, Prof. R. H. Wade.

Rt. Hon. Rev. F. D.

Rivers and Rev. Mr. Owens made desperate attempts to address the multitude but the multitude preferred to eat watermelon and talk out loud and spoiled it. In the evening the features were the chorus of fifty voices with the band as accompaniment and the cornet solo of John Armstrong. This evening there will be two bands.

Gormly's will give a concert from the stage in Exposition hall and Jackson's will play from the band stand in the corridor. The barbecue will close tomorrow evening. Major Hudson, J. A. Troutman, Senator Peffer and several others are on the programme for addresses this evening and tomorrow.

Rev. Mr. Owens and Prof. Jackson are at the head of the barbecue and they are ably assisted by such men as W. T.

McKnight, W. L. Grant, Col. J. M.

Brown, Chas. Pillows, Gaitha Paige, John Perkins, West Osteen, H. Monroe, T. Bird, C. C.

State Architect Holland's Brother is a Strong Bryan Man. State Architect J. C. Holland said some time ago that Kansas would give McKinley 50,000 majority and his brother, Thomas who is a prominent attorney of Paulding, heard of his brother's statement. In a letter to Dr.

L. Y. Grubbs of Topeka. Thomas B. Holland says: "I see Jim is on the wrong side.

No matter what he may think of Kansas we will carry Ohio for Bryan and Sewall without a doubt." A BOLD BAD MAN. Goes Through the Country Stealing the Poor Farmers' Diamond Kings. The police made a quick capture yesterday afternoon when they took in charge Thos. O. Cunningham, a diamond thief.

They were informed that Cunningham had stolen a diamond ring from J. R. Elllinwoood, a farmer living near Wakarusa, and that he was In Topeka, Detective Zeller started after him. Chief Gardiner and Sergeant Donovan joined in the search. Near the Salvation Army tent on East Sixth street close to Quincy street they found their man.

He was on horseback. Look out, he has a gun with him," said Donovan. Cunningham was arrested, but he did not "pull" his "gun," and he was taken to the police station. He had on the diamond ring when arrested. Monday nigra he rode through Waka-rusa on his horse.

It was dark, and he stopped at the house of Mr. Elllinwood and asked for lodging. He was given a room and his horse fed and put in the bam. When Mr. Ellinwood arose in the morning he found that Cunningham had gone, taking with him a diamond ring, for which Mr.

Ellinwood says he paid $120. He took a Smith Wesson 3S-caliber revolver, a gold ring with a setting and about $4 in silver. Mr. Ellinwood came to Topeka and reported the theft to the police. But Cunningham might have escaped but for a coincidence which happened just after dinner yesterday.

Cunningham tried to sell his horse to J. C. McGuire for $10. The horse was not worth much more than that amount, but Mr. McGuire questioned him closely and became convinced that there was something wrong about the case.

He notified the police and the officers started immediately after their man. When searched at the police station Cunningham was found to have the revolver, a gold set ring, $2.12 in cash and a receipt made out to Mr. Ellinwood by a Wakarusa man. He was taken before Justic Guy and the papers made out charging him with grand larceny. He says that he has been in western Kansas for a long time, and has just come to this part of the state.

He says that the sorrel mare which he was riding is his own property, but the police are inclined to think that it has been stolen. Cunningham has the appearance of a farm hand. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. How Walter Atkinson Who Wore White Duck Spoiled the Excursion. The Centre Plate club has been imposed upon.

Walter Atkinson is in trouble. A large crowd of people who had intended going, to Ottawa yesterday are disappointed. The Centre Plate club is a North Topeka organization. Among its membership are some of Topeka's swell young colored men. Walter Atkinson is a member of the club, and he wears duck trousers.

Tuesday was set by the club for an excursion to Ottawa. Tickets were printed to be sold for $1.50 for the round trip. The club was to manage the excursion, and if there were any profits the club treasury would be enriched. Sam Payne, who works at the Citizens' bank, is the president. Vice President Wm.

Wymms had charge of the tickets and he gave Walter Atkinson twenty adult and four children's tickets to sell. Now the members of the club say that Atkinson sold several of the tickets and had some counterfeits printed which he turned in, claiming that he could not sell any. Yesterday a large crowd of colored people gathered at the Missouri Pacific depot to go to Ottawa on the excursion. But the Centre Plate club discovered the trick which had been played on them, and declared the excursion off. Detective Zeller was notified, and he went to the depot and took in charge Walter Atkinson.

A number of Atkinson's friends accompanied bim to the station. The tickets which were 'returned were a very poor counterfeit. They contained the same wording, but the type used was different and the card larger. The tickets read: Plate Club Plate Club: Aug. 4., 1S96.

Aug. 4, 1S96. TOPEKA to OTTTAWA. OTTAWA to TOPEKA. $1.50 Round $1.50 Round: Trip.

Trip. "A fellow gave those tickets to me," said Atkinson. The chief of police released Atkinson, as he did not have a warrant for his retention. The club members of the Centre Plate say they will swear to a complaint charging the man with the duck trousers with embezzlement. THE SUPPLY OF GRAINS.

Santa Fe Company Gives Money to the Hospital. The Santa Fe Railway company, through the executive committee, has donated $30,000 towards the cost of the new Santa Fe hospital in this city. This amount will be paid to the Santa Fe Hospital association, and will be used by the executive board in meeting outstanding accounts resulting from the construction of the new building.

At the time of the reorganization of the Santa Fe Hospital association, an agreement was made with the railroad company to the effect that the -company should purchase all hospital buildings then in use, but that they should be maintained exclusively by the association. This was done, the company paying on an average $30,000 for each building. Although the Topeka hospital was built as the property of the association, the surplus funds in the association treasury to be used in its construction, the total cost far exceeded the amount first expected. On this account the attention of the Railway company was called to the old agreement, and the company asked to donate an amount equal to that paid for the other buildings. This the executive committee decided to do.

Hurt at Argentine. H. H. Campbell, a Santa Fe brake-man residing at 523 East Eighth street, this city, was painfully injured in the Argentine yards yesterday. He was removed to the Santa Fe hospital in this city.

Campbell attempted to step on the pilot of the engine to take down the signal flags while the train was moving slowly through the yards. He missed his footing and fell with his left foot on the edge of the rail. The wheels of the engine truck passed over it, mashing off a portion of his first, second and third toes. The injury is very painful and will render him unable to work for some time. Left on His Vacation.

This Directory is published at No. 10 Spruce street, New York City, and such is its care to protect itself from loss and preserve its na tional reputation for accurate ratings that it makes the $100 guaranty to only eight dailies in the entire state of Kansas: The edition for 1896 was issued June 1st.

GUARANTEED THE LARGEST CIRCULATION. The Directory authorizes the publication of the following: "The Topeka Daity.State Journal has credit for the largest circulation accorded to any daily published in the Fourth Congressional District of Kansas, which has a population of 214,544, ad the publishers of the American Newspaper Directory guarantee the accuracy of the circulation rating accorded to this paper by a reward of $100 to the first per-who successfully assails it." This is one of the most sweeping and con-vincing guarantees ever made in behalf of a Kansas newspaper and places ahead of all other dailies The Topeka Daily State Journal. In 1885 the circulation was 800 January 1, 1891, were printed, 3,125 Daily average for year 1891, 4,3 SO Daily average for year 1892, 5,069 Daily average for year 1893, 6,213 Remember tliat "It is not wliat you pay for Advertising, but what advertising pays you." SENATOR STEWART ANGRY. Says Senator Thurston Must Prove His Charges or Retract. "Washington, Aug.

5. Senator Stewart of Nevada, is much provoked by the charge made by Senator Thurston in his speech at Madison, Friday, and has written to him demanding a retraction. In substance, Senator Thurston said Mr.Bryan and other prominent free silver advocates had been paid for advancing the cause. He charged Mr. Bryan particularly, with being a "paid agent and spokesman of the free silver combine." Without regard to Mr.

Bryan, Senator Thurston also charged that for "three and a half years there has been a select corps of orators and writers, paid employes of the silver producers, spreading their literature over this country from one end to the other, telling the farmer that he will have more for his wheat, telling the laboring man that he will have more for his work." Though Senator Stewart was not mentioned in this speech, he is the first to take exceptions to it, and last evening forwarded a printed letter to the Nebraska senator. After quoting what Mr. Thurston said on the subject, Mr. Stewart tells him that he has "grossly misrepresented the facts." There is no silver bonanza organization, he says, and no organization of silver mine owners contributing money for the cause of silver, to his knowledge. He says no man has been employed to make speeches for silver, and that the money used in the silver campaign has not amounted to much and has been secured by the American Bimetallic league in small sums from all parts of the country.

In closing he says: "The commercial press has falsely declared that the silver movement was sustained by 'silver barons' and by large contributions of money from silver mine owners. It may be that your information is from that source, and that you have no other. But that kind of proof will not do. The charge is false, and you have made it on your own responsibility, and the country will not be satisfied without clear proof or a withdrawal of the slander. Tou may mock at the poverty of the silver men, as the gold press Is in the habit of doing, but you shall not slander them with impunity.

I await your reply." NO FUSION IN INDIANA. No Prospects of Democrats and Populists Getting Together. Indianapolis, Aug. 5. It can be announced authoritatively that the present Democratic state committee will not consider any proposition from the Populist state committee of thirteen to divide electors tn this state.

Inquiry at both Populist and Democratic headquarters shows that there is no probability of the two parties coming together in state or national affairs. So far as can be learned the Populist committee which was empowered to deal with the question of electors has not fixed the time for meeting. The Democratic managers take the position that the Populists have nothing to offer in return for anything the Democrats might consent to give. HOW WE GROW.

Ex-Congressman W. D. Bynum, the Indiana member of the executive committee, has received consent by wire from all the members of the committee that the change from one of the large hotels to the club rooms shall be made. The members of the committee are engaging rooms at the hotels. The managers of the movement believe that the Democratic party of the country will be represented by men whose opinions will be regarded as valuable.

Mr. Bynum has announced that the original estimate of thirty states still held good and that the representation would be here to attend the independent Democratic gold meeting. FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE. A Colored Woman Doing Good Work in California. Chicago, Aug.

5. The first woman's rights convention ever held in the west assembled in this city in lSGt. Among those who took an active part in that gathering was Mrs. Naomi Anderson, a colored woman. Ever since then she has labored in the cause, and for the present campaign she has been engaged by the state suffrage association of California to lecture throughout that state among people of her own race.

Mrs. Anderson is now a resident of Sacromento. She began her campaign work last week in San Francisco. Mrs. Anderson was a prominent figure in the Kansas campaign two years ago.

She devoted six months to stumping the state, and secured the colored vote for the suffrage- cause. During the campaign of 1SS0 she worked for suffrage in Ohio. She has started Innumerable undertakings for the care of colored children and the education of colored girls, including the colored orphan asylum at Wichita, Kan. Through her efforts the woman's auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic in Kansas was organized. QUAY HAS NO DOUBT.

Can Figure Within Ten Votes of Enough, to Elect McKinley. Harrisburg, Aug. 5. Senator Quay said today that McKinley and Hobart will surely be elected and that by the middle of September the country will be unanimous for the Republican candidate as it was two months ago. He figures all but ten electoral votes necessary to a choice sure for McKinley now, and says that of the 75 which are regarded as doubtful at this time there will be a fair proportion won by the Republicans.

Senator Quay has been asked to take practical charge of the eastern national committee headquarters on the 1st of September, and he will probably return from Florida in time to do so.
