Rathbone, former director of posts, seem to be increasing-. The audi tor's department has thrown out $15, 000 worth of vouchers, including $&.000 worth of bills, which have been paid twice, most of them at Muncie, Ind. The Fidelity company has been notified that it will be held responsible on Mr. Rath bone's bond. Mr. Miller, the manager of the company, and Mr. Rathbone have held prolonged interviews during the last few days but no decision has been arrived at regarding this new aspect of the situation. The authorities con tend that the Fidelity company is re sponsible. Mr. Rathbone's friends insist that C. V. W. Neely deceived Mr. Rath- bon who signed at Neely's request with out knowing what. Corydon Rich has .been placed under a $2,000 bond as a witness in the Neely case. A letter has been received here by a friend of Neely saying that if forced to return, he will show that Rich is a liar and that the latter received as much as he (Neely) did. CAPT. WATSON'S MAIMED. The Pittsburg Soldier Loses a Leg in the Philippines. Galena, June 9. Capt. Will J. Wat son, of Pittsburg, who married Miss Lottie Lindburg, well known in Galena, and took her to the Philippines with him. received a wound in an engage ment April 7 which necessitated am putation of one of his limbs about half way between the knee and the ankle. The Pittsburg Tribune says: "After the battle the wound rerceived by Captain. Watson was reported in the dispatch of that date from General Otis. It was reported as a moderate wound in the foot, but his friends feared its effect, knowing it was miraculous if he was wounded in the foot without shattering the bones. "Their fears have proven justified. The brave officer was removed to the lirpt reserve hospital in Manila and Mrs. Watson was summoned. Twenty days after the wound .was received the i doctors announced to her that there was no longer any hope of saving the foot: that it had become a question of saving his life, and amputation would be resorted to. The amputation was made April 27. Her letter was dated May 4, and announced also that the surgeons bad at that date pronounced him out of danger." JEXNEY CHOSEN.

Governor General Wood has returned from his trip to Caiberien and Sagua. lie reports that everything is quiet and that no politi cal opposition has developed in the elec tion arrangements at either place, one being Nationalist and the other sup porting the views of the Union Demo cratic party. He was much gratified at the many signs of progress and the excellent crop prospects. l .if ii A I i II A Topeka young lady was walking south on Clay street not long ago when she saw a gentleman approaching her. It happened that she did not particu larly admire him. In fact, she rather despised him. She decided to pass him in a very dignified manner. She straightened up and assumed an uir of hauteur. She walked along very briskly intending to "cut the gentleman dead." She had vowed to herself never to speak to him again. Just as she met the gentleman she stopped suddenly in an awkward manner and turned her iead toward him. He spoke. She answered. He started a conversation. She replied. She looked decidedly embarrassed. He m&de the most of the opportunity and talked like a phonograph running doublequick. She answered in a pecu liar manner as if she was paying little attention to what he was saying. They talked till he was tired of stand ing and suggested that they take a seat on the fence. She politely an nounced that she preferred to etand. He stayed until within 15 minutes of train time and ran to catch the last Sixth avenue car that would connect with his train. The last thing he saw was that she was still standing there. After he was out of sight she disen tangled her hat from the limb of a tree where it had caught and proceeded on her way. Words cannot express the state of her mind. Special policemen ar"e always easy prey for the practical jokers. During the street fair a certain spe- cial policeman worked hard, so he thought. He did not make an arrest BOXES OF GOLD Sent for Letters About Grape-Nuts, S30 boxes of gold and greenbacks will be sent to persons writing interesting and truthful letters about the good that has been done them by the use of Grape-Nuts food. 10 iittle boxes, each containing a $10 gold piece, will be sent to the 10 writers of the most interesting letters. 20 boxes each containing a $5 gold piece to the 20 next most interesting writers, and a $1 greenback will go to each of the 200 next best. A commit tee of three to make decision and the prizes sent on July 3, 1900. Write plain, sensible , letters, giving detailed facts of ill health caused from improper food and explain the improve ment, the gain in strength, in weight, or in bi'ain power after using Grape Nuts food. It is a profound fact that most ails of humanity come from improper and non r.ourishing food, such as white bread, hot biscuit, starchy and uncooked cere als, etc. A change to perfectly cooked, pi'edi gesled food like Grape-Nuts, scientifi cally made and containing exactly the elements nature requires for building the delicate and wonderful cells of brain and body, will quickly change a half sick person to a well person. Food, good food, is Nature's strongest weapon of defense. Include in the letter the true names and addresses, carefully written, of 20 persons not very well, to whom we can write regarding the food cure by Grape Nuts. Almost everyone interested in pure food is willing to have his or her name appear in the papers for such help as they may offer the human race. A re quest, however, to omit name will be respected. Try for one of the 330 prizes. Every one has an equal show. Don't write poetry, but just honest and inter esting facts about the good you have obtained from the pure food Grape Nuts. If a man or woman has found a true way to get well and keep well, it should be a pleasure to stretch a help ing hand to humanity, by telling the facts. Write your name and address plainly on letter and mail promptly to the Pos tum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Crek.Mich. Prizes sent July 3. mm 1 LI CBS during the entire week, and when the Turks got wild on the Midway he never hasDcncd to be near. He went on duty at 6 o'clock in the evening and was relieved at 6 in the morning, and was then supposed to go home and sleep. He had a peculiar system, as he was always out on the streets by 10 o'clock in the morning. That was evidence that he got a little extra sleep. Two of the regular policemen decided to catch the special napping. About 2 o'clock one morning, they found him stretched out on the floor of one of the booths full length. They secured his star and club without waking him and left. A little later one of them went to the booth and pounded him on the feet with his club. . "Wake up, get out of here, you shift less bum," growled the regular officer. "Why, .I'm not a bum, I'm a police man," paid the special. "1 don't see any star," said the officer. The special hunted but'ould not find it. Then he felt for his club. That was gone too. But he said nothing. "Ycu know when I went through that boxcar looking for tramps just before supper," he said to the officer. "Well, 1 lost my star then." They walked toward Kansas avenue and the regular officer saw the night sergeant coming. The regular told the special to stay on the corner and he would go up the .alley and if he met the sergeant to rap on th& pavement with his club. The regular went up the alley and in a short time the ser geant appeared. But the special had no club to rap with. The officer re turned and the special had to admit that he had no club. "Better let me carry your revolver, you may lose it," said the sergeant. The eiub and the star were given. back to the special and he kept awake the rest of the night. The first dav of the street fair a young lady stepped into the office of a Topeka lawyer and introduced nerseir. ine lawyer remembered her as a friend who used to live next door to him. She said that she had come to attend the tair and would go out to h'is house if con venient. The lawyer said he would be very glad to have her and that his wife would en- Icy her company. . She said she would go out on the car and meet mm at din ner time. Out she went. The lawyer telephoned home to his wife that a friend would be out. When his wife met four ladies at the front door and a few minutes later an express wagon with four trunks arrived she was somewhat worried. But the lawyer wasn't when he got home. He was mad. The four women and the four trunks stayed the week out and the lawyer had to .chaperone them, to the fair every night and when they left they said they had enjoyed the week and would come again. "Not if I know it," said the lawyer under his breath. "I beg pardon," said the lady who did. not quite understand. "Why, certainly. Be glad to have you," said the lawyer. "Come and bring your whole family, your cousins, your uncles and your aunts and don't think of staying less than a month." The wctrnan left and has not even written that she had "a lovely week." A Topeka young man decided to get married. He told a couple of his friends that he had saved up $125 and that he was going to furnish a house, buy a wedding ring, take a bridal trip and be wedded in a black Prince Albert. He selected a house and then started to pick out the furnishings. He looked at a kitchen outfit which just suited him, picked out a dining room set that was exquisite.found a bedroom suit that was the best to be had, picked out leather covered furniture for the set ting room and pictures for the walls and then went out and proposed. He was accepted. "J, have the house furnishings all se lected," he said. "Have you?" exclaimed his promised bride. "Yes, just lovely, too." "When can I. see them?" ' "I'll have them moved out to the house at once." "Oh, you have a house too?" "Yes." "Well, you seem to be rather certain that" I would marry you?" "Why, yes." - "Well, I won't," said the young lady and the proposed marriage was' accord ingly cancelled. The next day the young man went around to the store and asked what the bill for the furnishings would be. "Just $526," said the manager of the rf Trnrrfl nVyvT Strongest, purest, and healthful of all ROYAL BAKING POWDEB CO., store. "I knocked off 10 per cent on ac count of the large order." "Well, stuffs off," said the young man and he went down street and bought an ice cream soda and wondered how the dream started. Thursdav afternoon a man and a woman carrying by turns a baby girl two or three years old were making a tour of the state house. They grew tired while on the third floor and de cided to take a rest. ' In front of the elevator on that floor is placed a large straw mat for people who have muddy shoes. It was dirty and dusty, but those elements of un happiness for mankind held no terrors for the family. The husband stretched himself out on the mat and was soon half asleep. Soon his wife joined him, and with the baby between them they slept to all appearances comfortably for half an hour. They were awakened by some rude men who laughed at them, but they were not particularly abashed as they stepped into the elevator for their first ride. The elevator started, and as it did so the woman threw both arms around her husband's neck, and in this atti tude they rode up and down the ele vator making three or four trips, to the great delight of people who gathered along the shaft to watch them. When Czar Alexis of Russia was crown prince he made a tour through the United States. Buffaloes were then plentiful on the western prairies, so one of his jaunts was to engage in a buffalo bunt in western Kansas. Twenty-nine years ago this summer he and his party started out from Topeka on their hunt. While in the city the party had a group picture taken. The photograph was made by J. Lee Knight, who was then running a gallery where Long's res taurant now stands. Mr. Knight still preserves a copy of the picture. CHARGE IT TO M'KINLEY.

The Kansas Populist committee pro poses to turn the Fourth of July into a Bryan demonstration. Anticipating that Bryan will be nom inated in Kansas City on the Fourth by the national Democratic convention, the Kansas committee officers have is sued an appeal to the party to see that the action of the convention is cheered to the echo in every part of the state. The appeal for cheers and hurrahs fol lows: To the Fusion Forces of Kansas: The Republican party of thi3 state will make its campaign this year on the "issues" of "prosperity and patriot ism." They are claiming credit for the sunshine and rain, the great wheat har vest and the corn prospects, the fam ines and wars abroad, the treasures in the earth, the salt in the sea and the fish that dwell in the waters thereof. The breezes blow only by their suffer ance and even the coin is compelled to rustle in order to grow without their I benediction. The flag of our country has been pre-empted by the spellbind ers, and the eagle's scream has been drowned in the wild clamor and shouts for the offices and the appropriations. Theirs is the only true brand of patriot ism, all others are base imitations. Mark Hanna, the administration "Pooh Bah," holds the great American eagie by the throat, throttling her pro tests, while an army of small bore poli ticians pluck from her tail the rarest feathers to plume their cackler and try again to make it pass current as the bird of freedom. The fusion forces of Kansas have this to say regarding all this hoi-polloi of pollitical rot: that mere is a wide difference between the Great Rain maker and the Republican party; that the country will please take notice that it was good anti-trust brawn that sowed 'the wheat and planted the corn in the broad acres of the state, and that good, old fashioned free silver brains are going to see that the crop margins go into the pockets of the pro ducer. Descendants of the Irish pa triots, brothers of the Russia ridden Swede and cousins of Oom Paul Kruger are thick in Kansas, and they will be heard from in November, speaking with the ballot their condemnation of the foreign policy of the administration. The allied forces of Kansas yield to none in their love of home and coun try. The old flag and all it stands for are first in their hearts and in the fu ture, as in the past, they will be found fighting where the cause of liberty grows weak and a strong arm is needed to hold high the banner of freedom. They have ever shown the truest pa triotism, the highest self-sacrifice. It has recently appeared that the Re publican campaign of rant and subter fuge will be inaugurated on the 4th of July, and it is their intention to try to work into the celebrations on that day the idea that patriotism consists in sup porting the administration confounding the administration of our government with the government itself, lhey ex pect to work this "jingo" programme thus inaugurated tnrougnout tne cam paign. In order to counteract and combat this scheme to monopolize the patriot ism of our nation, as they have our in dustries, your state committee calls upon you to take your proper place in the lead of all patriotic demonstrations on Independence day. On that day thousands of Kansas people will attend the national Democratic convention at Kansas City. Let these who can not go see that the huzzahs which greet the nomination of our matchless leader, William Jennigs Bryan, are echoed in every corner of the state from the lips of our people. Let each one do his best to make the day not one of sham or empty sound, but a day of true patriot ism, when we may brush up the ban ners of '76, thick with the dust of pluto cratic rule, and carry them once more with the spirit of the old days when country was more to every one than gold and the flag meant liberty and life to every creature that sought shelter beneath its folds. Let us, who still cling to the traditions of our fathers, who still think that the flag means more than a good chance to rob, take our proper places in the ob servance of this day. the true meaning of which seems to be getting so misty to the Republican party. Let there be no mistake as to our position so that the thinking, patriotic people of our state will next November bury under an avalanche of ballots the hypocritical administration which has violated ev ery sacred tenet of our republic and has so utterly betrayed the trust of the Am erican people.

It will cost the citizens of Philadelphia more than $200, 000 to have the honor of having the ReJ publican national convention meet here and. to properly entertain the hosts of visitors expected during , .convention week. All the Republican clubs in this city are making extensive preparations to entertain the members of visiting clubs on a lavish scale. - Each local club has a certain number of out cf town club men to look after from the time they arrive to the moment of departure. The Leeds club of this city, has appro priated $5,000 which it will expend in entertaining the Blaine club of Cincin nati. The main feature of the enter- n tainment will be a banquet to which many national leaders of the Republi can party have been invited. Tomorrow night the young Republi can club will give a reception to Na tional Committeeman Richard C Kerens of Missouri, who will, at the same time be presented with a loving cup for having cast the vote which brought the convention to Philadelphia. This reception will be the first event marking the coming of the party lead ers, several of whom are expected to attend the affair. All of the sub-committee of the national committee, of which Joseph H. Manley, of Maine, is chairman, it is expected will have. ar rived by Sunday night. On Monday this committee will meet to go over the list of appointments of convention em ployes prepared by Sergeant-at-Arma Wiswell and to arrange for the meeting of the full national committee at the Hotel Walton on Wednesday. Senator Hanna is expected on Monday, and it is believed that the only member who will be absent from the national commit tee meeting on Wednesday will be Gen eral Wilson of Delaware, who is in Cuba on military duty. The congressional campaign commit tee will meet here next week, probably, on Monday. T. M. C. A. WORKERS. Conference of Secretaries Convenes at Thousand Islands Park. Thousand Islands Park. N.
