President Holman of the Commercial
club has been notified by the Curry
Windmill company that the plant will
be removed from Manhattan to Topeka.
The building formerly occupied by the
sash, and door factory at the corner of
Seventh, and Holliday streets will be
used. .
At a meeting of the Commercial club
Wednesday night It was decided to of
fer the Curry company $300 toward de
fraying the expenses incident to the
removal of its business here. The next
day a renresentative of the concern
came to Topeka and urged President
Holman and Secretary Anderson to see
that the amount was raised to $500.
The two officials finally agreed to raise
the additional $200 by private subscrip
tion. About twenty men will be employed at
the plant and It is stated that the busi
ness will amount to $30,000 a year.

"The hot weather has been sending
the price of lemons skyward," remarked
a traveling man at the Throop, "and it
promises to reach a mark not often at
tained. The retailer is now paying
$4.25 per box. There has been a raise
of 75 cents within two weeks, and an
addition of that much more is very
probable. Most of the lemons used in
this section of the country come from
California, the imported product not
getting this far west to any great ex
tent. The Calfornia lemon Is not as
finely flavored nor as Juicy as that from
Sicily, but there is a difference of from
75 cents to $1.50 per box. At this sea
son of the year the lemon is in great de
mand and there are few households
where lemonade is not made every day.
At the soda fountains and ice cream
parlors lemon juice is in demand to
make the different drinks. It is a
spdendid thing to take at this season as
it tones up the stomach and counter
acts malarial tendencies. A little lemon
Juice and water the first thing in the
morning will make you feel better all
day. It beats tiie tipplers' 'morning's
morning," for there is no reaction and it
cools the blood instead of heating it.
There is a little trick in buying lemons
with which many people are not fa
miliar. The large, fine looking lemons
are not the best to purchase unless they
are expected to keep for some time.
The smaller fruit, which has been
cured, has much more Juice and is of
finer flavor. I have noticed for some
years that the California lemon is im
proving both in the amount and flavor
of the juice. This is due to the fact
that the growers in that country are
learning how to handle and cure their
crops. I believe that with a few years
more of experience the California pro
duct will equal the imported in every
respect."
T have not been in St. Louis for sev
eral weeks," said Mr. Pemberton, a St.
Louis traveling man, who was chatting
with a friend in the lobby of the
Throop, "and I have almost lost track
of the strike situation, but I am in
clined, to believe that the matter has
been settled for keeps. If the Transit
company lives up to its agreement, and
they say emphatically they will, the
men should let well enough alone. The
strike has been a bitter lesson for both
sides, and I believe either would make
concessions before allowing the strike to
be repeated. However, if there is any
further disagreement over the construc
tion of the articles of agreement
which have been virtualy accepted, it
would seem "to any unprejudiced man
that arbitration is the proper remedy,
and that pending. negotiations the rail
roads should run unmolested. It is a
crime to tie up a great public utility
and thereby discommode an entire com
munity, to say. nothing of the pecuniary
loss, and that, too, when no one gains
anything. If labor has rights, so has
capital, and the one must be respected
as much as the other. Labor and cap
ital are mutually dependent and one is
worthless without the other. But in
all disputes capital has an immense
advantage and this fact should be rec
ognized by workingmen and taken into
consideration before they deliberately
take the bread from their mouths and
from those dependent upon them, for
some comparatively trivial difference
that could be adjusted by the exercise
of ordinary common sense."
"This Is an old story of Ingersoll, but
I am going to tell it anyway," said one
of a group of politicians who were talk
ing in the National. "Ingersoll was In
terested in a criminal case which was
being heard before a judge in a crimi
nal court who was nat feeling well. He
was out of sorts and made life a burden
for the attorneys on both sides, snap
ping and growling at them like a sore
headed cur. The morning session" wore
along with the Judge getting crosser
and more peevish all the while. At
noon the court adjourned for dinner to
the great relief of everyone. Alter din
ner four or five lawyers were walking
leisurely back to the court house, In
gersoll, who was one of the group, be
ing on the street side of the walk. A
mule was hitched to a post by the walk
and as Ingersoll passed the mule put
back his ears and snapped viciously at
him. Quick as a flash Ingersoll turned
and looking at the mule said: 'Now
what criminal court do you preside
over?' You can imagine what a hit the
remark made with the attorneys who
had been hectored all the morning by
the judge."
"Very few people know that the
headquarters of the strongest branch- of
the Mormon church is in Iowa," re
marked a gentleman from Des Moines
who is visiting in Topeka. "Joseph
Smith, the son of the Mormon prophet
of that name, is the president, and is in
Laraoni, Iowa. The branch is -called the
Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of
the Latter Day Saints, and ia entirely
distinct from that which has ever ad
vocated polygamy, and it claims to be
the original church. When Brigham
Young went to Utah, at the head of the
Mormon church, after the death of the
first Joseph Smith, he declared that
Smith had had a revelation countenanc
ing the practice of plural marriages.
Those of Smith's followers, however,
who now call themselves the 'reorgan
ized church" declare that their first
leader never had, nor claimed to have,
any such revelation, and that this story
was merely a fiction on the part of
Brigham Young to excuse to the people
certain practices that were never in
tended to be sanctioned by the religion
of the people, but which had been in
troduced by corrupt officials of -the
church. The reorganized church, as
soon as Joseph Smith's son was of age,
chose -him as its leader, and broke away
from the rest of the denomination."

"Are you going out to Garfield park
this afternoon ?" asked one festive
drummer of the other as they sat in
front of the hotel and gave the "ad
miring eye" to the passing females.
"Sure. You don't think I would miss
hearing Marshall's band, do you? It's
the whole thing in this man's town,"
answered the other. "I consider it one
of the best bands in the world, except
ing Sousa's. I am not a musician and
can't read a note of music, but I have a
great ear. My sole accomplishment in
the musical line is playing 'Go Tell
Aunt Body with one hand on the piano,
but you bet I know a good band when
I hear one." "Well," said the first
drummer, "I don't pretend to do much
in the musical line myself, although I
can pick out the air of "Sidewalks of
New York," or at least the chorus to it,
or. a piano, but I do love a band, and
I am not musician enough to detect any
difference between Marshall and Sousa.
You let Marshall's band get out on the
street when they are in shape like they
were before they went to Boston, and
let them strike up a march and I don't
want to hear anything better." "You're
all right," said the second drummer.
"You would follow a hand-organ if it
didn't tal:e so much walking, but I
don't believe you know even the man's
name who had the contract for the side
walks of New York. I'll match with
you, though, to see who pays car fare
and entrance money to the park."

MAC DONALD EXPECTED IT.
Pledged His "Wife to Shoot Her if
Necessity Should Arise.'
New York, July MS. A dispatch to the
World from London says:
Robert Yerburgh, M. P., the leader of
the China party In the house of com
mons, who represents the British view
of the Chinese situation, said to the
Wrld correspondent:
Whe whole foreign trade In China in
1899 was 53.000.000 ($265,000,000), of
which the British empire had, 34.000,
000, ($170,000,000) and the success of the
Boxer movement practically destroys
that interest. I consider the question
of reparation premature until it has
been proved whether or not this is
really a rebellion for which the Chinese
constituted authorities are responsible
It is impossible to extract pecuniary re
ompense from the Chinese government,
whose finances already in a chaotic con
dition, are being annually depleted
24,000,000 by corruption.
"It is evidently futile to compel the
corrupt mandarins to disgorge their
wealth, even if it were practicable to
fix the Individual responsibility.
"Great Britain wants no territory,
only trade and under the new order of
things- Britain's aim will be to open
International waterways, reduce the in
ternational duties and place the reve
nue under the control of honest English
or American officials.
"The loyalty of the viceroys 1s the
most gratifying feature of the gloomy
situation."
There are 5.562 British subjects' in
China, of whom about 650 were In Pe
kin, for whose relatives, following nu
merous precedents, the British govern
ment will undoubtedly exact financial
compensation on a heavy scale. '
Mr. Yerburgh said he knew that Sir
Claude MacDonald, the British minis
ter at Pekin, long had in view the pos
sibility of some such tragedy as seems
to have occurred, and had In a way
prepared to meet it. Sir Claude, said
Mr. Yerburgh, had pledged his wife to
shoot her if it were necessary to prevent
her from falling into the hands Of the
natives in the event of an uprising, and
had provided her with a quick poison
to be used in case of his inability to
fulfill his pledge.

death had been reported. The dead:
PAUL, SUCKAN.
Of those prostrated five are in a ser
ious condition.
In the evening the hot winds which
had been blowing from the west all day
increased in violence. It tore down
signs, destroyed shrubbery and shade
trees, made sport with porch furnish
ings and played havoc wtih buildings
under course of erection. In Lincoln
Park many of the small boats were
driven ashore before the blast and their
occupants compelled to wade to the
land. None of the boats capsized, al
though there were many narrow escapes.
At Jackson Park two boys in attempt
ing to jump from their tossing boat at
the landing slipped and fell into the
water, which is deep at that point. The
struggling youths were rescued by a
park policeman.
On the lake numerous and sudden
squalls made boating unpleasant and
even dangerous and there were but few
pleasure craft out.
The church of the Mystic Three, 2344

DOUBLE THEIR MONEY.
Counterfeiters Do a Thriving
Business at Manila.
Correspondence of Associated Press.!
Manila, June 10. The large circula
tion of silver money in the Philippines
has made an opportunity for counter
feiters, and there is evidence of one or
more "gangs" in Manila and the prov
inces who manufacture spurious coins.
The counterfeiters make Mexican dol
lars from a baser and cheaper metal,
the American nickel is counterfeited
and the brown five dollar, bills have
been successfully imitated. But the
cleverest and most successful scheme of
all Is the coining of American silver
dollars from Mexican silver dollars. The
silver in a Mexican dollar, if stamped
with the facings of our American sil
ver dollar at once doubles in value, for
any one will give you two dollars Mexi
can for one dollar American. The ad
vantage of this scheme is that a suf
ficiency of good metal can be obtained
by melting Mexican dollars up and
when stamped with the American fac
ings the new coins produce one hun
dred per cent profit.
Raids have resulted in finding sev
eral baskets full of bad money in the
rear of a Chinaman's house and a Fil
ipino was discovered with several dol
lars, worth of counterfeit five dollar
bills and a box of recoined American
silver dollars in his possession. The
Chinaman. and the Filipino have made
partial confessions and given damaging
testimony. It is now evident that they
are members of a gang operating on a
large scale in Luzon and in which there
are several Americans or Europeans as
leaders.
The military authorities have ordered
the formation of four troops of native
cavalry, to be recruited from the Maca
bebes and officered by Americans. Ma
jor Batson, the originator of the Idea of
employing Macabebes tribesmen as
American scouts. Is to be commander.
The officers w-ill be: Captains James
N. Monroe, Wrilliam C. Gerger, Franci3
H. Cameron; First Lieutenants David
H. Blddle, James Conway, Clarence C.
Culver.
The Macabebes have long been used as
scouts and their value in such work has
already been demonstrated. The pres
ent plan of mounting them Is intended
to render them more effective by in
creasing their mobility. Many of our
army officers declare that we must
eventually come to a Very general use of
native troops to preserve order in the
provinces of Luzon and elsewhere. While
several of our regiments are today us
ing small details of Ilocanos Vizayans
and even Tagolos, as scouts and guides,
the organization of native soldiers, with
the notable exception of the Macabebes,
has been objected to by the authorities
of Manila. When the Macabebes are
controlled they do good work in their
own line, but they are very hard to re
strain from outrage, looting and indis
criminate killing. Several American of
ficers have declined service with the
Macabebes on the ground that it was
impossible to restrain them In moments
of excitement. The Filipino country
people in certain districts remain in the
mountains instead of coming back to
their village homes because of their fear
of a visit from the Macabebes scouts.,
Tagalogs and Macabebes are separated
by -fierce tribal hatreds and are always
hostile to each other. Each native cav
alry man in the new mounted organiza
tion will take the following oath:
"We, the undersigned, do severally j

agree that we will well and faithfully
serve the United States of America as
scouts in the squadron of Philippine
cavalry, from this, the day of ,
1900, ufitil the sixth day of June, 1901,
unless sooner discharged. This contract
is made with a full knowledge and in

provisions of which, including the pay
and allowances established therein, are
hereby accepted and made a part of this
contract. And we do further agree to

The pay of Macabebes soldiers will be

troops, owing to the fact that they are
to be paid in Mexican silver, while the
Americans are paid in gold.
Stagnant Water in the Nile.
The cutting of the sudd- on the Uppei
Nile and the consequent release of large
volumes of stagnant water has had an
unanticipated influence on the condition
of the river at Assuan.- From reports
received by Sir Benjamin Baker from
the engineering staff it would appear
that the absence of free oxygen in the
water has caused wholesale destruction
of the fish. Within a hundred yards
of thei resident engineer's office at least
a million dead fish, ranging in size from
minnows to six feet in length, are to be
found, and although the season is rela
tively cool (the shade temperature not
exceeding 112 degrees) the odor is un
pleasant and abhorrent to those who can
not dispense with their customary bath.
There is, of course, no other drinking
water available, and fortunately no
evils have resulted from its use. This
Is consistent with London experience
when It was usual to pour crude sew
age into the stream. The filtered water,
though clear and odorless, was drunk
with impunity, but, having no free
oxygen, eels plunged into it would
struggle violently and finally die of suf
focation, as, no doubt, has been the
case with the fish in the Nile under the
special circumstances resulting from the
long aeterrea cutting ot tne eudd Uii
year-
