MILWAUKEE CARNIVAL.
Third Annual Summer Event Opens
in Splendor.
Milwaukee. Wis., June 26. Milwau
kee's third anunl summer carnival was
pened today most auspiciously. The
city in filled with guests and an air
f festivity prevails. The buildings are
decorated with the carnval colors,
red. crani and olive green, and the
e'r-ctricul appointments at the counrt
f honor and the hundreds of electric
arches, which si an the main streets and
Jivenif-s. rive the cyy a very pictur-.-que
aid-arance.
The reception to rtex, king of the
carnival, marked the official opening
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. His majesty
and retinue were taken aboard the rev
enue cutter Morill and conveyed up theJ
river to the foot, of Mason street, where
hn was officially received by a delega
tion of the army and navy, including
Rear Admiral Charles K. Colton, the
hief ciieyt of the carnival. At 2:15
the procession moved to the court of
honor on upper Grand avenue, where
l'.fX presented to the city a handsome
carnival column, constructed of solid
Htor.e and measuring seventy feet high.
-Mayor llo.se received the column for
the city. A reception to Rex and his
retinue followed.
DYING VERY HARD.
Premium Stamp Fake Still Trying to
Hold to Topeka.
A movement is on foot among the
frrocerymen of the city to discontinue
the me of the premium and trading
M;tnips.
The leading clothiers, dry goods stores,
stores, hardware stores and book
Mores have already served notice that
the i-rivinur of stamps would be discon
tinued after the tirst of July. A petition
lias been signed by nearly every grocer
in the city.
However there are one or two grocers
who have not as yet decided to fall in
line, it is thought that they will Join the
movement before the end of the week. A
great many of the grocers are telling the
customers that the. stamps will not be
given after the first of July.
n account of the discontinuance of the
blue stamps by a great many of the
merchants it is thought that the blue
!amp concern will take Its office from
Topeka. This will be true also of the
j;reeu stamp company. The sales will
fail off so much tiiat it will not pay to
keep a person in the store.
A representative of the blue stamp
company of Kansas City is in the city,
and tile matter will be. delinitely settled
within a few days.

liofore Secretary Hay left for the
cabinet meeting he had a call from the
Chinese minister, who renewed in for
mal manner the earnest recuest that
foreign troops be kept out of China
until Li Hung Chang could reach Pek-
in. This time the recuest was made
in a written document beailng the sig
nature of the six great viceroys of
China from Canton to Sha Shan Tung
including Li Hung Chang himself. The
answer of the United States govern
ment stands as final, however, and the
viceroys are informed that there can
be no abatement of efforts to secure
the safety of our officials and citizens.
Minister vu looked gloomy on leaving
the department. He had no news from
Pekin or Tien Tsin.
The plans of the war department
were somewhat cleared up today by the
announcement that General Chaffee, one
of the regular army officers who par
ticipated in the Cuban campaign will
have command of such troops as go to
China. He leaves with the 6th CJ""lry
from San Francisco on July 1. There
will be a stop at Nagasaki and then, if
circumstances require, the military
forces will go to Che Foo which is
expected to be the base of military op
erations.

was received with pleasure at the de
partment. The Sth has been recruited
to its fullest possible limit of 1.407 men
end is provided with an ample supply
of machine guns, tents and field equip
ment. It goes to China prepared for
active field sertvee and is thoroughly
equipped in the matter of transporta
tion and subsistence supplies for a long
campaign. The regiment is commanded
by Colonel Liscum, one of the bravest
and most discreet officers in the army.
The trip from Manila to Taku will
be made on transports Logan and Port
A'bert, the latter carrying transporta
tion outfit and machine guns. The ves
sels will proceed at their highest rate
of speed and are expected to reach
the Chinese port by next Monday or
Tuesday.
The navy department was informed
this afternoon that the gunboat Prince
ton had sailed from Cavite for Canton.
CHAFFEE PREPARES FOR BUSI
NESS. Washington, June 26. Gen. Chaffee
was in conference at the war depart
ment today with the adjutant general
and the heads of the various supply de
partments with a view of his future
needs in the conduct of the military
campaign in China. It is expected that
he will establish his headquarters at
Che Foo about the first of August at
the latest and that he will have not less
than 5,000 men at his command, the ma
jority of whom will be withdrawn from
the Philippines.
Gen. Chaffee had command of the
troops which captured El Caney and
practically closed the Santiago cam
paign. He has since been known as the
"hero of El Caney." Gen. Lawton in
his report of the engagement at El
Caney spoke of Gen. Chaffee as fol
lows: ,
"I consider Gen. Chaffee, one of the
best practical soldiers In the army and
recommend him for special distinction
for successfully charging the stone fort
mentioned in this report the capture of
which practically closed the battle."
Postmasters Appointed. .
Washington, June 26. The president
nas appointed Elliott Wood as post
master at Winthrop, Me. The president
also signed today the commission of
Joseph M. Oats as postmaster at Hono
lulu. The commission for postmaster at
that place had previously, through an
error, been made in the name of James
M. Oats, the brother of the present ap

Calls Attention to Needs of Rad
ical Reforms.
Kansas Society Will Make
Study of Conditions.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar of Lawrence,
president of the Kansas Association of
Correction and Charities, Is devoting
his energy to make the local branch a
success.
This organization was perfected, as a
branch of the national association of
the same name, during the recent na
tional conference In Topeka. The chief
purpose of this organization is to stim
ulate public sentiment to needed reforms
in the management of the state charit
able Institutions, and to secure the di
vorce of charitable institutions from
politics.

mit the association to drag along its i
own way, but he immediately com
menced active work to boom the or
ganization. His purpose is to interest
every class of people, irrespective of po
litical affiliation in this work.
Mr. Blackmar will organize every
county in the state and a city organiza
tion in important centers will be effect
ed so that the progress of this work
will be from the bottom up. Sheriffs,
county commissioners and men who
have to deal with the criminal classes
will be enlisted and then will come the
charitably inclined workers, those who
study philanthropy and reform, on
through the various channels until the
Kansas association becomes an element
of power and influence.
Mr. Blackmar spent a few hours in
Topeka today on business identified
with the work of the association of
which he is the head. To a State Jour
nal reporter he said:
"The work of organization which be
gan in May is about completed. Com
mittees have been appointed for the
work. The scope of the work of the as
sociation is very wide, embracing as it
does every phase of charitable and cor
rectional work. The work is apportion
ed among committees which will enable
individuals to specialize in their work.
These ten committees with the officers
of the association represent the active
agencies for carrying on the work, al
though it is expected that many others
will be enlisted as sub-committees in
order to make the work especially ser
viceable. 'While we hope to interest many peo
ple in the enterprise, in all probability
the growth of the association will be
slow. Its work also will not be spas
modic but will be characterized by years
of positive service to the community.
Those who engaged in the enterprise re
alized the limitations and difficulties
under which they worked, though the
whole tendency is to show positive re
suits. The organization is not formed
for the sake of organizing but for the
purpose of specific results. There Is
work to be done through the agency
of this organization whose results can
be actually measured.
"Among the chief objects of the as
sociation is the scientific study and in
vestigation of the best methods for the
care of the insane, lmbeciie, blind.
criminal offenders, mcorrigibles, etc.
Various meetings will be held which
will enable those engaged to come to
gether to discuss the best methods of
carrying on charitable and correctional
work. Every other body of workers in
the state has its organization the teach
ers of the state, the bankers and the
county officers and there is no reason
why those engaged in work of this na
ture should not have a permanent or
ganization. In order, however, to keep
it from being narrow in its scope, and
provincial, the organization has been
made comprehensive enough to include
all persons who are willing to take an
interest in the improvement of every
thing pertaining to work of this char
acter. "The first annual meeting will be held
in November, for which scientific pa
pers will be prepared by those carrying
on investigations or having wide exper
ience in this work. Also, reports of
committees and reports from the var
ious institutions together with the dis
cussions of ways and means and meth
ods of carrying on the work will be
taken up. A board of directors consist
ing of twenty representative people and
forming in part the members of the
committees wiil have its first meeting
on July 10 and every two months there
after to conduct the work.
"There is a growing sentiment, not
only in Kansas but elsewhere, that the
management of charitable and penal
institutions is a professional work and
that those who are especially trained
through education and experience are
the ones to be employed to conduct
these institutions. The general . senti
ment within the institutions and with
out which arises from past experience
is that changes of officers and attend
antse are too freqeunt to admit of the
highest class of work, and that it ought
to take as much earnest preparation for
conducting this work as in preparing
for the law, medicine, or any other pro
fession. What a condition would we be
in if every two" years we could say to
the lawyers: You have been practicing
two years, now step down and out and
let some one else try it; or to the physi
cians, you have practiced medicine long
enough and it is somebody else's time;
or to the newspaper men, it is high
time you charged your occupation hav
ing been at it fortwo years. In what
a state of helpless confusion our social
life would be if we could turn in a new
lot of people every two years to thus
practice upon humanity, and yet we
treat the helriless wards of the state
In this way, for nearly ail of the of
ficers and attendants are changed every
two years.
"The disastrous effects have been
somewhat overcome in the wisdom of
governors and boards in the selection of
officers and attendants. But the dif
ficulty is only partially overcome and
the state association of charities and
corrections hopes to create not only a
sentiment, but to perform an active ser
vice in changing this method. The as
sociation is strictly non-partisan and
seeks neither to criticise nor favor any
person, property, or officer. It does
insist, however, that we have bad
methods of procedure and it hopes to
Improve these methods.
"Over half of the expenditures of our
state annually passes to the support of
the charities and corrections and it is
necessary that this money should be
spent economically; and when I speak
Kansas Association of Charities and
or economy I do not mean parsimony
or niggardliness, I mean the giving of
the largest return to the people in ser
vice for the money expended and in the
way it was intended to be spent. If we
could give better housing and care of
the insane each year- without paying
special attention to the cure of insan
ity we might merely by the aggrega
tion of these people increase insanity,
for the penal or correctional institu
tion should carry with it a large
amount of reform. The question of get
ting people out of the penitentiary and
out or the lietorm school into active.
independent, honest life as citizens
should be a greater question than get
ting them into the penitentiary when
tney have offended against the law.
"There are grave questions then aris
ing concerning the management of
these institutions and a state organiza
tion properly managed may give
strong support to all workers in char
ities and correction. But there is much
more to be done than to look after the in
stitutions. There is a strong commit
tee on legislation which will look after
the laws necessary for the proper man
agement and control of these institu
tions and that from the practical
standpoint or observation. The poor
houses, as shown in a report about to
be issued by the state labor bureau, are
in a poor condition. I know this to be
true also from my own private investi
gations. The method of sending child
ren, imbeciles, old and young, the sick
and insane, and the decrepit all into
county poor houses where there is not
the opportunity for classification or
specialized care is an act inhuman and
degenerate. The whole "management of
our county chanties" is in a deplorable
condition and I venture to say that
owing to defective methods, over half
of the expenditures per annum are
worse than wasted. We think the ex
penditures for the state charities hig'
at 32.2 cents per capita for the popula
tion of the state, and yet the expenses
of the county charities alone are 24
cents per capita. This state organiza
tion proposes to extend its influence
into every county of the state with
view to' ascertaining the exact condi
tions of affairs and take measures for
their improvement.
"We should also, I think, spend much
energy in studying the means of pre
vention of crime and pauperism
through the social habits and customs
in rural districts and towns "an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
applied scientifically to pauperism and
crime. And then a hundred questions
may be studied in such a way as to give
enlightenment upon methods of the pre
vention of pauperism, crime, insanity,
Imbecility, etc.
"The association will endeaver to
make itself an agency of information to
the people in respect to charitable and
correctional affairs. It has no inten
tion of doing police work or carrying
on a work of espionage with regard to
the personal conduct of officers, but it
does propose to acquaint itself with the
exact condition of these various in
stitutions and of the various methods of
conducting charities, and present this
information to the public. And in this
respect it is more in the interest of the
great body of people outside of the in
stitutions who need it than those al
ready in the institutions. I am hope
ful that the association will prove a
great service to the state, for I know
that those who are going into it have
only an idea of disinterested service.
We will probably meet with some op
position and a great deal of discourage
ment, but up to the present date the
officers have received the most encour
aging assurances from people all over
the state which is conclusive evidence
in rny mind that there is not only need
of such an institution, as this, but the
people will give it sufficient support to
make it a great success. Other states
nave had such organizations which
have been inestimable service to their
respective states.
'I am grateful for the Interest the
newspapers have taken in this matter
from the beginning. As I stated the
membership embraces any citizen who
is interested In giving this work sup
port and paying the sum of $1.00 mem
bership fee to W. L. Holcomb, Topeka,
treasurer, or to Dr. C. R. Dixon. Law-
ence, secretary. We would be elad of
a large membership composed of those
who are especially interested in this
line of work."
ROOSEVELT BALKS
He Will Pass Through Kansas
on Sunday.
No Politics to he Talked Until
After Notification.
Governor Roosevelt will pass through
Kansas next Sunday, the plan to have
him make a series of political speeches
failing on that account.
Mr. M. A. Low returned from Chicago
this afternoon. He was working with
Vice President Paul Morton In the ar
rangement of the trip for Governor
Roosevelt.
No arrangements were completed
when Mr. Low left Chicago but on ar
riving home this afternoon he received
from Mr. Morton a telegram in which
Mr. Morton stated that Governor Roose
velt would pass through Kansas Sun
day and that in all probability a stop
of ten or fifteen minutes would be made
at Topeka. The train will run as a
special. .
The telegram also stated that Henry
C. Payne of Wisconsin would call Fri
day on Mr. Morton to confer concerning
Mr. Roosevelt's movements.
Returning east Mr. Low believes a
few short speeches will be made by the
governor, who will, if arrangements can
be made.be taken back via the Rock Isl
and.
'Mr. Roosevelt," said Mr. Low, "will
make no political speeches until after he
has received official notification by the
committee of his nomination for vice
president."
'Then there will be
no political
queried the
"and the de-
speeches on this trip?"
Journal reporter.
No, replied Mr. Low,
tails have not been completed for the
Kansas trip, so it is now impossible to
say what arrangements for stops will
be made."
Mr. Low said that Governor Roose
velt could not address the state Repub
lican league meeting, so the meeting
will not be postponed from Thursday.
CITY COUNCIL JOTTINGS.
Bids For Detention Hospital Were
Too High and Were Rejected.
There were only two bids received
by the council last night for the build
ing of the addition to the city prison.
One bid was put in at 7 o'clock but was
not read as the time specihed lor bias
to be hied was 5 o clock.
The two bids read were from Chas.
B. Ramsey, J1.240, and M. Heery, $1,250,
but as both were higher than the city
engineer's estimate, $1,212.38. they were
rejected and it was decided to again
advertise for bids.
The school board presented a request
that the grading of the alley between
Van Buren and Harrison and Seventh
and Eighth be delayed until the first
Monday in July as the board thought
they might be required to excavate
through the alley in order to get heat
for the high school building. The coun
cil decided that the request should be
made to the contractor and so informed
the board.
A petition was presented by the resi
dents of Fillmore street between Sixth
and Tenth requesting that the street be
tween those points be paved with vitri
fied brick.
The bonds of M. W. Giimore for $500
as jailer and of John Ritchie for $10,000
for sidewalk contracts were approved.
A resolution to nave Tyler street be
tween Fourth and Fifth was adopted.
The paving to be of vitrified brick and
the curbing of Colorado sandstone.
A complaint had been made to the
council by some of the property owners
of the grade in the alley between Tenth
and Eleventh and Harrison and Topeka
avenues. The matter was referred to
the committee on streets and walks.
Before adjournment Councilman Mer-
gan. got the floor and proceeded to ar
raign the Commercial club. He said
that he felt satisfied that the club was
opposed to the city purchasing or build
ing a water plant and he could see no
good of discussing the matter with
them. He said he didn't care to discuss
any matter with men who would run a
show like the midway during the street
fair and then advertise that the show
could be attended by decent people. He
considered that the Commercial ciuo
was directly responsible for the vile
shows and was getting warmed up for
a eood strong talk when he was inter
rupted by Councilman Weber who said
the street fair had nothing to do with
the water question.
Mr. Mergan's talk led to several mem
bers speaking on the question as to
what they thought or attending tne
meeting and the sentiment was almost
unanimous in favor of it. A motion to
adjourn was carried at 9 o'clock.

BILLS STILL COME.
Topeka Street Pair Claimants Are
Still Appearing.
Street fair bills continue to be re
ceived by Treasurer Greenwald. A bill'
from the Crawford theater management
for bill posting and several bills for
advertising the fair in Kansas papers
were paid by Mr. Greenwald today. The
straggling manner in which the news
paper bills have been coming in leads
Treasurer Greenwald to fear that all
are not yet paid. -
Notwithstanding the persistency with
which the bills continue to appear, Mr.
Greenwald still believes that about
$1,000 will be saved out of the funds. It
was supposed some time ago that all
bills had been paid.

Chicago, June 26. WHEAT To start
with Liverpool cables came d lower, and
good rains were reported in dry sections
of the northwest, where good rains were
the most needed. These two items start
ed heavy realizing and the market opened
off and broke quickly but rallied again
and held firm until near the close when
Liverpool closing cables surprised every
body by coming 3'd lower and the
weather bureau reported rains all over
the northwest. This was the last straw
and traders fell over each other in their
attempts to get rid of long wheat, break
ing the market over a cent a bushel in
the last five minutes and closing it at
the bottom Quotations of the day. Since
the market closed the curb has turned
weak and July wheat Is selling at 8IV2O
among curb traders. We believe the ad
vance has been too rapid, but this break
is also too severe and cannot hold, and
we believe it is safe to buy wheat now
and protect the same with reasonable
margins. We believe the rain carne too
late to be of value as the damage has
already been done and soon as this senti
ment among impulsive traders, that
wheat is a sale if rain comes, is worn oft
wheat will again begin its procession
toward a higher range of values.
CORN Corn held firm. The prophets
are predicting hot, 'dry weather for the
months of July and August, and as the
crop got a late start the drought, if it
arrives on schedule time, will do severe
damage.-
OATS Oats are firm and act as If go
ing higher.
PROVISIONS The market was slightly
lower but market had a strong under
tone and closed at an advance of about
10c a barrel from the bottom for July
pork. We believe pork Is going higher.

New York, June 26. Although the stock
market was considerably unsettled a larg
part of the morning yesterday, it leaves a
rather satisfactory account of itself In
the closing dealings and prices in the ma
jority of cases ended somewhat better
than on Saturday. It was evident that
demoralization failing to develop the short
Interest was Inclined to curtail its out
standing commitments. At the same time
numerous substantial brokers testified to
purchases - which they beiieve to be for
important long account. These purchases
represented a conviction that prices in
many instances had reached the point
where investment in securities was more
profitable than lending money at the cur
rent 1,-biv n lint n t innQ T h r.ro 1 Qiriv.(a
! after a sharp and continuous decline in
1 tVio tortr rrtlrt- cnrRfithincr Hl.-ft th. vo
the stock market something like the re
action of the iast week. An influx of this
excellent kind of buying orders, whether
it will be continued in sufficient force to
do more than effect a rally on the short
interest is a question which will depend
largely upon the developments of the fu
ture. It is obvious that influence on the
action of capital will grow to some ex
tent out of complications or solutions de
veloped in connection with the crisis in'
China. There is more at stake from a
material viewpoint than the killing of the
missionaries in the far east or the de
struction of their property and that of
the foreigners engaged in commercial
business. If an early settlement may not
be reached in China the question of the
extent of war expenses and the interrup
tion to ordinary business traffic will be
come one which will be taken into con
sideration not only by the finance min
isters of the great powers but by the
leading private financiers of Europe and
the United States.
