Talks Bitterly About GoTernor Bailey and Anthonys. Congressman Charles Curtis returned Sunday from his recent trip to Washington, lie will look after his congressional fences in the First district for a short time and will then go to the Indian Territory to make; a personal in-s estimation for himself of the charges which have been made against certain government officials there, and of conditions generally. It was partly for the purpose of laying before President his plan for a personal investigation that Mr. Curtis went east, and after stopping a short time in Washington he went on to Oyster Bay to see the president. Mr.

Curtis also talked with the president regarding "federal appointments' in Kansas, according to the Associated I'ress dispatches at the time of the visit, and It is supposed that by this was meant the federal judgeship, but on this subject Mr. Curtis refused tc talk tcid.iv. "The president is very anxious to have an investigation made of affairs in the Indian Territory," said Mr. Curtis. "The senate committee is ready to begin probing, and the appointees of the department of justice and tne department of the interior are beginning their work.

I believe the investigation will cause a reduction in the Pize of the Dawes commission. One man is enough to do the work. I do rot think the members of the commission have ever denied that they own Mock in these various companies, and it" they do the question now is, Is it rong for them to do so? "I see Cuvernor Bailey says that the candidates asrainst me in the First district are rot his stool pigeons," remarked Mr. Curtis when asked about J'iist district affairs. "1 would not believe the statement of the eentleman.

liowpver. if he made affidavit to it. Notwithstanding the fight on me, 1 will be nominated. My friends will carry 'K out of the eight counties in the dis- it t. I will carry I.ea venworth county among the rest.

My majority there de-iends only on how many ballot boxes the A.nthony succeed in stealing. Not- ithstandinir their action last year. I had the county convention by a big majority. The machine leaders. I see.

nre now talking about harmony, but Ihey don't want to include me in their harmony plans." When told what Mr. Curtis had said nbout his statement, Governor Bailey rrmarltd: "I guess Mr. Curtis still thinks about ns much of me as I do of him. as he remarked in his speech after the senatorial election last winter," and the governor laughed.

Found That Even West Sixth Macadam Is Bad. Late this afternoon injunction proceedings will be commenced in the district court to comiiel the street car company to take up the dirt. Vinders, brie ks and stones with which they have been filling their West Sixth street tracks. and replace this alleged "macadam" with either cedar blocks or George K. Stoker is the attorney.

He is backed by half a dozen prominent citizens who are indignant, and rightfully so, at the horrible imitation of a pavement wtiich the company is trying to perpetrate upon residents on West Siilh. This morning the city council committee on streets and walks visited West Sixth and made some discoveries of what has been going on out there. The railway company worked a big gang of men all day Sunday, and instead of laying a good macadam pavement as it had agreed to do, it. was dumping iu rocks as big as a neck measure for the lower course, and throwing cinders and dirt on top. For a distance of four blocks the cheap imitation of macadam had been put down.

It seems that it was the intention of the company to get the big stones covered up with something before anybody had time to inspect the work. Aftr making the discovery that the people who are constructing the city railway are not to be trusted to carry out their agreement, the streets and walks committee authorized the city engineer to immediately appoint an inspector to be constantly on the ground and see to it that the city railway does its rtork according to ordinance and according to agreement. Already the city engineer has had considerable difficulty in enforcing the terms of the ordinances regarding excavations. Superintendent Collins, of the Railway Construction company. seemed to be considerably annoyed by the discovery of the way in which the work was being done on West Sixth.

He agreed to have the big stones broken up, and agreed to dig out the dirt which has been put in, and replace it with crushed stone as soon as the company is able to supply the crushed stone from its Vinewoo 1 crusher. He claimed that the dirt and sand whkh had been dumped in was merely temporary, but his explanation of the other irregularities was simply that he did not know what was going on. The injunction proceedings which are to be commenced will ask first that the company be stopped from laying any more "macadam" and that a mandatory injunction be issued to compel the company to take out the macadam which has been laid, and replace the cedar blocks. To replace the cedar blocks, it virtually impossible, because they are decayed and falling to pieces. The company would not want to buy new cedar blocks, and the court would probably order it to put in some suitable substitute.

The kind of macadam which has been going in is not a suitable substitute for anything. East of Harrison street, the macadam on West Sixth is very well laid. It has 3-inch crushed stone for the lower course, and finer stone for the upper courses. Part of the way there is a concrete base being put in. But west of Harrison, the condition of things gets worse and worse.

The refuse paving blocks from the stone pavement between Kansas avenue and Van Buren are being hauled in and dumped Into the excavation without being broken, whole bricks, the culls from paving work, are also used, and on top the dirt and sand dug from the right of way la piled. It would be practically impassable. Wagons could not cross from one side of the street to the other. It looks a little as though the street car company was trying to rush things faster than it can handle the worx satisfactorily. It cannot supply rock from its crusher fast enough to keep up with the excavation work, and it seems to be resorting to very inferior substitutes.

dad in uniforms of blue and grey, emblematic! of the reunion as comrades of men formerly separated by sectional strife 1,000 soldiers of the Spanish-American war marched in parade today, as a preliminary to the opening of the fourth annual assembly of the national army and navy Spanish war veterans. They were reviewed by veterans of the G. A. state and city officials and by President Hadley of Yale university. The first assemblage of the day, aside from the many informal gatherings, was that of the council of administration which met at the New Haven House.

Reports of work accomplished during the year were submitted to the council and were referred to the convention for acceptance. The report of Adjutant General L. C. Dyer showed that the organization has made rapid progress during the past year. The increase of nearly 100 new commands, together with the increase in membership of commands already 'established has brought the membership up to about 140,000.

Kight new state organizations have been formed, together with seven provisional state organizations. As regards finances, the association was declared to be in good condition with no debts, with a considerable cash on hand. The amount expended for relief work by the various commands and corps during the year was nearly In the organization of new commands some trouble has been experienced by reason of the fact that there has been I an effort to amalgamate the- Spanish War Veterans with the Spa Irish-Amer-i ie-an War Veterans and other like or-j ganiaations. A good many have de-i sired to hold out from joining the Spanish War Veterans until this consolidation was perfected. All hindrance to consolidation has now been removed, and it is exuected by the end of October all details, including the election of officers and the adoption of rules and rituals will have been arranged.

HYPNOTIZED HIM. Costa Leavenworth Man $165 to Have Bis Fortune Told. Leavenworth, Sept. 23. Arthur Moorehead, a young man 20 years of age, a resident of High Prairie township, i came to the city with a wagon load of honey which he disposed of and then i thought he would have "his fortune told." He had recently met a friend of his in High Prairie township who had his future revealed to him so the young I man called on Prof.

H. Best. No. 518 Walnut street Friday afternoon. What really happened there is not known, but the young man has a story to tell which is interesting and which he says cost him just $165 to hear.

True, he received in return an "electric" belt. Moorehead says he called on Professor Best and that the man made a few passes in front of his face much in the manner that hypnbtists do and then rubbed the palms of his hands over his forehead. He remembers rather hazily what followed which he told Officer Clark and Chief Taylor. The officers state that Best first told Moorehead that he was on the verge of insanity and would surely be insane within two days, but that he could save him by his treatment. He then asked Moorehead how much money he had on him and the young man replied that he had $15 and some money in the bank.

Then, as Moorehead tells it. Best made the passes in front of his face, told him to go to ehe Manufacturer's National bank and draw $150 and bring it to him. This Moorehead is said to have done -and the young man states that after had done this the hypnotist put the bank book into an envelope, addressed it to Moorehead, care general delivery, and told him to leave the book in the postoffice for ten days when he should return and be treated. The book was obtained at the postoffice by Moorehead. Moorehad, it is said, went to his home in High Prairia township Friday evening, but says he did not go to sleep during the night knowing that he had done something he should not have, but says he was unable to come out from under the influence of the susceptible something until Saturday morning.

Then he realized what he had done and immediately came to the city and called on Officer Clark. The officer took him to Chief Taylor and the three went to Best's rooms. There Chief Taylor placed the reader cf futures under arrest and took him to the ixdice station. He at first concluded to place Best in the city juil, but afterwards told him he could be released under a bond of $200. Best asked to have the matter settled promising to return the money to the young man if he would not be prosecuted.

This was agreed to and Best turned over to Chief Taylor which the chief ii turn gave to Officer Clark and he to the oyung man. THROWS 200 OUT OF WORK. Eirdgeton, N. J-, Machine Factory Destroyed by Fire. Bridgeton, N.

Mayor Won't Do an Injustice to the Gamblers. Kansas City, Sept. 2S. Mayor T. B.

Gilbert, in Kansas City, announces that he does not intend to close the gambling houses In that city, for the reason that the places have been running for twelve or fifteen years under other administrations. He says it would be an injustice to the proprietors of the gambling houses to close them now. because they naturally expect to continue business under this administration the same as under other administrations. The mayor displayed much feeling in the matter and was indignant at what he styled his political enemies who are insisting on his closing gambling places which former mayors have allowed to run. He said he had referred the whole matter to Chief of Police A.

J. Murray. Chief Murray authorized the announcement made that an ordinance is now being prepared which will be introduced in the city council at an early date which has for its purpose the imposing of a system of fines on the proprietors of gambling houses, are to be run under- police protection. The ordinance will require the proprietors to pay into the city treasury a stipulated sum each month and will protect them from arrest and nrosecutlou under a state law which makes it a felony to operate a gambling house of any kind. The citv officials say the reason for taking this step is to show to the people, that city officials are not allowing the places to run for private gain, as has charged, but the places will be run -for public revenue.

GIRL SUICIDE CLUB. One Is Found to Exist at Boise, Idaho. Boise, Idaho Sept. 28. Boise has a fully organized suicide club.

That it is ready for business and has already transacted business Is shown by the fact that at least three of its members have "passed off" by the suicide route vwithin a period of as many months. The fact of, the existence of the organization became known 1 the police in an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton. its latest victim. She died from morphine on a third attempt, both of the previous attempts having been frustrated through the seasonable discovery of friends. Another young wotnan friend of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by taking poison, but recovered, and it was through her that the existence of the club was made known.

Statement About Typographical Union Was Misunderstood. Omaha, Sept. 28. Right Rev. Bishop Kichard ScanneU, of the Omaha diocese of the Catholic church, today made a statement in reply to that of President Lynch of the Typographical union who defends its Catholic members who have taken the obligations of that union.

Bishop Scannell said: "My attitude in this matter has been misunderstood if not misrepresented. The Typographical ur ion has not been condemned in this diocese nor has its members been refused the sacraments. A reporter came to my residence recently, showed me a newspaper clipping containing an oath said to have been taken by the members of the Typographical union and asked my opinion regarding it. I told him. in substance, that the oath in its natural and obvious sense, could not be lawfully taken by any Catholic.

That was my whole action in the matter. My opinion regarding the wording of the obligation is unchanged." I MUST BLOW SOMETHING Gang of Dynamiters Want and Other Things. St. Paul. Sept.

"I want to repeat," he said, "that I have no fault to find with any one for my defeat I have seen a suggestion that the only way to revive British interest in cup racing would be to dangle the cup in front of our eyes by waiving the rules and letting the challenged American yacht race in British waters.

I want to say that, while I personally appreciate the kindliness of the suggestion, we want to win the cup and win it fairly according to the present rules, and I believe that if we did win it it would not stay on our side more than a year."

Turkey and Bulgaria Both Marshal Their Forces. London, Sept. 2S. Whilst there is little fresh news this morning trotn the Balkans, it appears from the dispatches received here that both Turkey and Bulgaria are actively preparing for tne pos-sibilty of war. The correspondent ot the Daily Mail at Monastir comments on the skillful disposition of the Turkish troops for delivering a quick blow against either Servia or Bulgaria.

There are ten thousand soldiers in the. vilayet of Kossovo, seventy thousand men with 300 guns in Adrianople vilayet, 50,000 Monastir vilayet and 170.000 in Salonica, the last mentioned force forming a nuga reserve. A dispatch from Sofia to the Times says that a document, purloined from Hilmi Pasha's archives and which haa fallen into the hands of one of tne consuls, gives confirmation of the wholesale extermination carried out in Macedonia, it records that ninety-three villages have been destroyed in the vilayet of Monastir alone and that the total number destroyed reaches 111. Reports from other reliable quarters represent that a much larger number of villages have been destroyed. The correspondent continues that the attention of the humane and charitable should be directed to the starving population.

The American missionaries, who have adclressed appeals to the United States and England for the dispatch of a contingent of the Red Cross, are preparing to assist in the distribution of Phillippopolis.

Viceroy Tsen is hui rying bac to Canton from Kwangsi province in response to an urgent telegram from the loval authorities to the effect that the rebels and secret societies in Kwangtung province are preparing a rising. Pathetic dignity and the utmost peacefulness characterized the Macedonian demonstration here today. After the celebration of a requiem In the cathedral, which was crowded. 15,000 Macedonians and their sympathizers joined in a procession which inarched through the principal streets of the city. Bands played funeral marches and carried aloft were black flags and black framed pictures, representing the dead leaders of the movement, burning villages, etc.

Outside the cathedral, Michaelovski, the president of the Macedonian organizations, addressed the demonstration. Other speakers also urged the maintenance of peaceful conduct. A committee of three was appointed as a delegation to call on Premier Petroff and ask him whether the government would help the Macedonians. Ferdinand, after going to church Sunday, did not return to the palace, but departed unexpectedly for his hunting box at Kostenetz. His departure is much commented on and is thought not to be unconnected with rumors of an intention on the part of the processionists to demonstrate in the gardens of the palace.

It is reported that the Turks are building forts along the entire frontier lire, commanding large areas of Bulgarian territory. Fortifications have been constructed for artillery. Three thousand Turkish troops have arrived on the frontier at Malkoternovo. IS HEIR TO $80,000. Soldier at Leayenworth Remembered by His Uncle.
