pus'ness Office Brll 'Phone 107 Reporters" Room Bell 'Phone 577 The St. Louis Republic suggests that Aguinaldo be turned over to Russia. Is it about time to think of changing 'Yankee Doodle" to Yankee Dewey? Uncle Sam will now return his gun and powder horn to their place over the door. Reports from Porto Rico indicate that all it lacks of being a garden of Eden is a. snake.

The time has now arrived when that J25.O00 will be worth more to Spain than "would be Aguinaldo's head. As a result of the last war, campaign crators will not be compelled to go back a generation for oratory material. In making promotions for distinguished service to the country, the government should not overlook Miss Helen Gould. The Indiana health authorities have come out in favor of cremation, which they cordially recommend to the people of that state. Whitelaw Reid's name Is said to stand at the top of the eligble list of persons to take charge of a cabinet portfolio.

Dewey has opened up one end of the Manila cable. It now looks as though he might have to go to Hong Kong and open the other end. Nobody has yet complained that Dewey has caused the government any annoyance by asking for reenforce-ments or instructions. With so many submarine boats in successful operations, the discovery of all that remains of Mr. McGinty may be looked for at any time.

Reports from Manila seem to point to Dewey as the real commander of the department of the Philippines. Dewey did this and Dewey did that. Where is Merritt? In selecting peace commissioners thek president began in Ohio and Journeyed westward. He is headed in the right direction to strike an abundance of good material. After seeing what excellent fighting the American soldier does on American food, perhaps European governments will withdraw some of their objections to the products of this country.

The -war revenue tax was voted for the purpose of redeeming a prospective issue of $100,000,000 in treasury notes. The notes were not Issued and any possible necessity for them has passed. No provision was made, however, for stopping the tax. Not satisfied with the fact that the "war was fought to a successful termination inside of four months with remarkably small loss of life in battle, Eome people are loud in their complaints about the way the affair has been managed. Gold imports have been $95,210,526 during this year up to July 31, as against $7,167,085 for the first seven months of 1897, while our exports of the precious metal during the same period of time have been only $7,723,185, as compared with $30,559,071 for seven months of last year.

The United States will occupy and retain the city and bay of Manila and the port of Manila pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall determine the control and form of government of the Philippines." This is all that the protocol contains on the Philippine question. If our government had intended to demand the Philippines for itself Article III.

would have repeated the phrase in Article II. as to Porto Rico, the smaller Spanish islands in the Antilles and the. island in the Ladrones "Spain will cede to the United States." If our government had Intended that the Philippines should be free and independent as Cuba, the phrase in Article "Spain will renounce all claim to all sovereignty over and all her rights over," would have been repeated. What, then, is the meaning of the phrase used "determine the control and form of government of the Philippines?" That our commissioners will Insist that the treaty of peace shall make our occupation of Manila permanent is questioned by no one. And this possession of the commercial, naval and military key to the whole group shows plainly enough who will "control." The negotiations of the peace commission will then be practically narrowed to the question of the form of government for the Philippines.

Upon this the protocol throws no light further than to imply in unmistakable terms 1. That it is not to be a United States territorial government. 2. That it is not to be a Spanish colonial government. COXQUEREDTERRITORY.

The Surrender of Manila Alters the Status. "Washington. IS. Now that the surrender is officially reported, it can be stated that Manila is being held by virtue of the military occupation and surrender, and not by virtue of the protocol. This difference is said to amount to little in practical results, yet such as it is, all officials agree that the occupation is the result of the combined military and naval operations.

According- to Admiral Dewey's dispatch the surrender occurred about 5 p. m. last Saturday. The peace protocol was signed at 4:23 p. m.

on Friday. It is said that the difference in time between Manila and Washington is such that the surrender, reckoned on Washington time, would be about 12 hours ahead of the time at Manila, or about 5 a. m. Saturday morning. In point of actual time, therefore, the signing of the peace protocol preceded the actual surrender of Manila by a few hours.

But it Is a well established rule of military law, accept Manila by- ed the world over, that a peace armistice or cessation of hostilities, does not become binding upon commanding officers until they receive actual notice ot It. This uiations governing armies in the field as follows: onlhe'nentlTr'othe a'afof agreed commencement; but officers of the i rule is exoresseu in trie cmteu oiaies ren- army are responsible from the day only when they receive oliieial notice or its existence." Under this rule. Admiral Dewey and General Merritt would be bound by the armistice only from the time the notice of it reached them at Manila. This could not have occurred on Saturday, prior to the bombardment, as the cable was not working and no dispatch boat could have have fjotten through with the notice before Monday or Tuesday. It is aerreed in all ofiicial quarters that the forcible taking of Manila was entirely regular and that only the city and bay is now held on the basis of this military enforced takiner rather than on the basis of the mutual arrangement between the two countries.

This may become material when the question arises as to the future of the Philippines, for it is likely to proceed from the American standpoint that Manila was taken by force of arms and is so occupied. There has been no time to consider what will be done with the 7.000 Spanish prisoners taken, but the fact that an amicable understanding had been reached with Spain as to the occupation of Manila will probably operate to lighten the condition of these, prisoners. SOUGHT A RED SQUIRREL. But It Only Brought Death to Frank Hendricks of ILenora, Kan. I-enora, Aug.

18. Frank Hendricks, son of oJhn Hendricks, living about three miles northwest of town, fell out of a tall cottonwood tree here and was killed. The boy was on his way to town and passed through his Uncle Si's place, where he met his cousin Fred chopping wood. After a few words the two separated, but soon Frank called to Fred that there was a fine red squirrel in a tree near and that he wanted to catch him. The two boys stared the squirrel from one tree to another until he had climbed a tall cotton-wood.

Frank declared his Intention to climb the tree and the squirrel. Fred protested, but to no avail. When about GO feet from the ground the boy reached to another tree close at hand, to which the squirrel had jumped. The branch to which hashing hiTshoold.r and doub lels run- turins a blood vessel, for blood at once gushed from his mouth and nostrils. In falling Frank grasped at three different limbs, but they all broke off without impeding the fall.

Fred attempted to catch the falling boy, and did succeed in doing so. but could not stop the force of the fall sufficiently to save his cousin He at once went for help. Tha boy died in about twenty minutes. DTING MAN'S REQUEST. J.

Aug. 18. The Repub lican state convention nominated James Fowler of Clinton for governor py accla mation. The platform adopted indorses the St. Tjinis nlatform and demands the mainte nance, of the sold standard.

The conduct by the administration of President Me-Kinley of the war with Spain.and the for eign policy arising theretrom, are pra.jeu as masterlv, statesmanlike and patriotic. This declaration follows: "We believe in an extension of trade and commerce with foreign countries. Believing that trade will follow the flag, we declare in favor of the annexation of Porto Rico and all of the West Indian islands, the ultimate annexation of Cuba by the free consent of the people of the island and such control of the Philippines and other islands as shall secure to the ITnited States the trade and commerce of those islands and good government of their people." Another plank urges the immediate construction of the Nicararuan canal, the enterprise to be strictly under American control. James A. Greer, R.

A. Haggard and Zach Taylor were nominated for railroad commissioners. A few negro delegates were in attendance, but the convention was largely "white." Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfleld, makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse.

He told her that she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles found herself sound and well: now does her own housework and is as well as she ever was.

Parsons, Aug. 18. W. H. Harrah who has returned from Klondike with John C.

Frey says: "There are not 100 paying mines in Alaska today, and I've money to back up the statement. The Alaska craze is the biggest fake ever -perpetrated upon the American people, but it cost me more than $1,000 to find it out. "John Frey and I went to Skaguay and Dyea direct from Seattle and then over the Chilkoot pass. We shot the White Horse rapids and made a trip in safety, notwithstanding three persons had drowned the previous day. Cir boat, 'Old was 26 feet long, 5 feet on the bottom and flared to 7 feet at the top.

"On Thirty Mile river, the most dangerous of all the streams in Alaska, we found no less than twelve wrecks, in which a number of lives were lost. Again we made the trip without so much as a scratch. We stopped west of White river and stoppped on Laduc creek, where we did some prospecting. We got colors, but not enough to pay. "We then pulled out for Dawson City.

I was in Leadville in its palmy days, but it is not to be compared to Dawson as a wide open town. Some of the best gamblers in the world are there, and also many tin-horns. The saloons do a thriving business, as do also the dance houses and places of ill repute. "Sunday, however, is religiously observed, thanks to the Canadian police, who are strict disciplinarians. The saloons are required to close at midnight Saturday, and it is Monday morning before they are permitted to open again." BIO TWIN STEERS.

Six Feet High, Weigh 2,000 Pounds Raised in Rice County. Hutchinson, Aug. 18. Perhaps the most wonderful pair of cattle in this country are owned in Hutchinson. They are a pair of twin steers, grade Galloways, and are owned by John Hess, the liveryman.

The steeers measure six feet six inches in height, and the two, although they are far from being fat, weigh 5,000 pounds. They were raised by the Cole Brothers of Rice county. The world's fair steer exhibited here several months ago was no larger than these twins, although he was advertised as weighing a great deal more. There is perhaps not another such a pair of twin cattle in the world. They are now 4 years old.

Mr. Hess keeps the steers at the Blue Front barn simply as pets. He had contemplated sending them to the Omaha exposition, but neglected making ar rangements, and consequently.no doubt has lost several thousand dollars ex hibit money, as the steers would be a great curiosity anywhere. By the side of one of these animals a common sized draft horse looks like a dwarf, and an ordinary cow like a member of the goat family. REV.

R. P. BANKS FOR LEEDY. Paola's Colored Minister Says All Negroes Should Be. Paola, Aug.

18. Rev. R. P. Banks, pastor of the African Baptist church, and a Republican during his life, has announced his intention of supporting Governor Leedy for re-election.

Rev. Banks has made an estimate of what the recognition the present state administration has given the colored people is worth to them and declares that it will amount in round numbers to $50,000 per year to his people. "Never since the emancipation," said he, "has any state given my people such a fair recognition as has the present administration of the great state of Kansas, and I could not do less than give my support to that party which not only says it believes in 'equal rights to but shows its faith by its works, and I shall vote and work for the election of that man who has shown that he recognizes the colored man as a human being and who respects a colored man at other times than just before election John W. Leedy and the entire state ticket with him. and I shall advise my people to do likewise and 'stand by those who stand by HIS HEAD SHOT OFF.

The following is a Topeka dispatch in the Chicago Chronicle: From August 30 to September 3 two rival county fairs will hold the boards at Holton.

Flaming posters advertising rival attractions are being circulated over the country today. The Holton Driving Park association and the Jackson County Agricultural as sociation have grounds one mile apart. and exhibitors at one fair are prohib ited from exhibiting at the other. The people of the town and county have taken sides in the fight and bitter feeling prevails. Both associations offer prizes for the prettiest baby and $100 is offered to the handsomest young lady.

Counter attractions are adver tised to take place at the same hour. Farmers who exhibit a wagon load of pumpkins or watermelons will secure free admission to either show. Brass bands will rasp the air for both fairs Each association accuses the other of stealing the date. ATE JIMSON WEED. Hutchinson Child Seriously Poisoned Peculiar Delirium.

Hutchinson, Aug. 18. A very peculiar case of poisoning occurred yesterday evening which came very near ending the life of Roy Phillips, the little 4-year-old son of J. B. Phillips.

After playing in the yard with another ohild, Roy began to show peculiar symptoms, and later was very delirious. When Mr. Phillips reached home the child was tottering about the room, reaching for imaginary things above and before his face, and catching his fingers convulsively. The pupils of his eyes were dilated. His appearance was so strange that his parents were greatly frightened and summoned a physician as soon as possible.

The physician decided at once that the child was suffering from poison of some kind and administered an antidote. It was some hours before the effects of the poison died away. The child had eaten leaves of a Jimson weed. He will recover. RAISED JIMSON WEEDS As Kara Plants Brought From the Holy Land.

Grenola, Aug. 18. Some few weeks ago a traveling peddler called at a number of Grenola residences and offered for sale flower seeds that were supposed to be very rare and as he had but a few of the seed he said he wanted to sell those who cared most for flowers. Several ladies purchased a few varieties of the seeds ranging in price from $1.50 to $3. After making the sales the kind hearted fellow made each lady a present of a few flower seeds which he said came from the Holy Land and which were very rare.

The flower seed were planted and an eager watch was kept. By and by the flowers came peeping through the well cared for soil and grew rapidly, but they did not bloom as soon as was expected and some of the neighbors were called in to examine the rare flowers and then it was discovered that the two varieties purchased were nothing more or less than smart grass and hemp. The most precious flower that came from the Holy Land proved to be Jimson weed. NOMINATE A WOMAN. Despite Joe Lowe, There is Fusion in Washington County.

Washington, Aug. 18. The Populist county convention for Washington county was held here yesterday and the Democratic convention was held at Greenleaf at the same time.

18. Webb Baldridge and Earl Jent were bound over in the sums of $5,000 and $3,000 respectively. They are charged with the murder of Henry Delozier, who climbed over the fence to get his small boy out from a ball game at Empire. He was knocked over the head with base ball bats by Baldridge and Jent. Sharpless for Representative.

Effingham, Aug. 18. TJ. B. Sharpless of Monrovia has concluded to be a candidate for the office of representative of this district.

This is one of the most important offices, as it deals with legislative matters and it is the best of wisdom on the part of the Republicans to name a man that can be elected to the place. Mr. Sharpless, it is said, if nominated can be elected. Here at home, and over the county where known, he will not only poll the full strength of the Republican party, but gain many from the opposition for his acknowledged good qualities and personal popularity. Carroll Coming Home.

Lawrence, Aug. 18. Brigadier General Henry Carroll, who was wounded at the battle of Santiago, telegraphed his family here today that be expected to be home the last of the week. A public reception will be tendered him by the citizens of this city. General Carroll, although it was thought at the time that bis wounds would prove fatal, has recovered to such an extent that he has asked to be assigned to active duty again by September 1.

Baltimore Herald. While we are showering unlimited praise on the gallant man who sttod on the bridge of the fated Merrimac, and on his companions who were at their perilous posts of duty on the upper deck, on that memorable morning In Santiago harbor, let ua not forget the heroes in the "stoke hole." If Lieut. Hobson and his associates were brave, what Is to be said of the sublime courage of the engineer whose hand was at the throttle, and the firemen who shoveled coal into the blazing furnaces as the good ship sailed into the jaws of death? Here were heroes, indeed heroes of song and story, of romance and rhyme, such as might inspire poets to the loftiest flights and the pen of the historian with glowing imagery. On the bridge stood a man who played in the great lottery for the grandest prize of life. Whether he lost or won, enduring fame was his.

But down in the hold, twenty feet below the surface of the rolling billows, in ominous darkness relieved only by the light of flickering lamps, no sounds save the drone of the engine, the creaking of the hull and the swash of the lashing waves came to tell aught of what was transpiring above. Nothing but the soul of valor to inspire such men! No place for them on fame's eternal camping ground. Nothing but the self-same spirit of Jim Bludsoe to keep "her nozzle to the bank" till ail but himself wrere safe on shore.

The man with his hand upon the valve and his keen ear intent upon the warning bells, the men, grimy, sweating, blackened, furiously piling coal. into the yawning, roaring furnaces neither knowing when the dread explosion would come that might send them, torn to fragments and scattered upon the four winds, to their fearful doom these were the real heroes of the Merrimac. They knew there would be no lasting reward for them, no glorious heritape which they could transmit to their children, no renown such as would envelop the leaders at Thermopylae, at the Alamo, or the cool and daring lieutenant on the bridge above them. To them it was duty, plain and simple, humble and obscure with the full knowledge that the reward must be the consciousness of duty well performed.
