WHY GOLD GOES.
England Has Been Selling American
Securities as Well as Her Own.
New York, Aus. 11. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Progress has been made toward a
more stable position of business, with
a few more heavy contracts to hold the
ground already stained; but for a prop
er interpretation of the week's results
one must look beyond Wall street oper
ations where, more than any other
quarter the vacation season is leaving
its impress of inactivity. Speculation
is cautious, but investment holdings
are beina- increased rather than dimin
ished and operators cannot see that
their hesitation on the ground of poli
tics is re-echoed any more In srertral
business circles than two months a&o.

and some bonds, and American par
chases of the new foreign loan, explain
why gold roes out in the. face of for
eign commerce returns which show for
New York alone, for the week, an ex
cess of exports over imports of more
than $5,000,000. Exports for the week
of $12,763,719 were more than double
those of the same period bf 1S!9. and
for the year the sain is over $sfl.00.000,
while imports gain only $20,000,000. The
money market is untroubled by the
financing of the foreign loan, though
the volume of new commercial loans is
well sustained.
Cotton fell so sharply that some re
covery occurred in an oversold specu
lative marke., and spot sold at 10c when
the official report appeared, notwith
standing many indications of further
reduction in consumption. Wheat ad
vanced about a cent, helped by poor
foreign crop reports. The domestic out
look is fairly cheerful, and farmershave
marketed freely. Receipts at interior
cities aygretratins .287.581 bushels,
against 3.)18.216 last year and 2.446,417
bushels in 1SS8. Exports from Atlantic
ports were only 1.720,963 bushels of
wheat.- flour included, against 2,503.344
bushels last year, although purchases
on foreign account were large and
promise an increase movement here
after. Corn gains nearly 2 cents with the aid
of drv weather reports, and is 8c above
the pric at this time last year. Both
receipts and exports for the week fell
more than a million bushels below the
same week in 1899.
Improvement is slow In boots and
shoes, with or.ly a small percentage of
eastern shops at work. The textile
markets have been free from such fea
tures as marked recent divisions of
prices, but business is of-fair volume.
Loss of the Chinese market has put
coarse brown cottons in a. bad position,
other grades being less seriously af
fected. In woolen goods reorders are
not up to expectations, and some serges
sell lower. Manufacturers show more
interest in the wool market, taking fair
quantities and seeking fewer conces
sions. The tone is firmer, though prices
are unchanged.
Failures for the week were 117 in the
fnited States, against 136 last year,
and 23 in Canada, against 29 last year.
WEBBER WILL NOT MOVE.
Has Shoe Manufacturing Plant Not to
Be Transferred to Topeka.
Major Tom Anderson, secretary of the
Commercial club, has a letter from W. S.
Webber, the proprietor of the Richard- j
son Shie company of Menominee, Mich.,
saying that that company has made no
plans for moving their plant from I
Menominee to Topeka,
Mr. Webber said that he had received
a clipping from one of the Topeka pa
pers announcing their Intention of mak
ing this move and also a number or let
ters from draymen soliciting business,
hut outside of this knew nothing about
the rumor. He feays: "We have been
looking around for a location for a west
ern manufactory because a great deal of
our trade lies in Kansas,Nebraska, Iowa
and Missouri and other western states.
The idea of moving our plant from Me-
r.ominee is absurd because there is al
great loss incurred in moving an old
plant. I will go to Sioux City shortly to
look over the ground there and see if I
may rind a suitable place for the erec
tion of a new plant. On the same trip I
will make Topeka and look over the
ground there also."
Mr. Webber does not ask very much in
the way of a bonus, but is looking for a
good and centrally located place to sup
ply the trade from.
Topeka tills the requirements and the
Commercial club has already taken
steps to secure the manufactory for To
peka. Burdock Blood Bitters gives a man a

Going to Buenos Ayres.
Wellington. Aug. 11. John J. Pitts left
last evening for Buenos Ayres. Argentine
Republic. South America, in the interest
of a harvester company, of "which he is
a traveling expert. He is one of four ex
perts in the employ of the company who
will be sent abroad. His headquarters
will be at Buenos Ayres. He will be ab

The loaded cigar Joker has not stop
ped. Not long ago he brought about
strained relations between a proposed
father-in-law and his would-be son-in
law.
The joker met a young man with
whom he was ulightly acquainted and
while talking- handed him a cigar. The
young man put it in his pocket. The
joker was disappointed because the
young man did not light it. He wanted
to see the explosion. He saw the young
man the next day. After talking a
while the joker offered the young man
another cigar.
"No. thank you." said the young man.
''Have you quit tmoking?" asked the
joKer.
"I never did smoke." was the reply.
"Didn't you smoke that cigar I gave
you last night?"
"No."
"Well, better give it back to me." said
the Joker who wanted to keep track of
tne loauea weed.
"Oh, 1 gave it away," said the young
man.
"Whom did you give It to?"
"I was calling on a young lady last
night and I gave it to her father."
"When you see him ask him how he
liked it," said the joker. "That was a
particularly hne brand of Mexicanoa. '
That night the young man called on
his sweetheart and saw her father and
asked him how he liked the cigar. He
hasn't been there since. The next day
he met the joker and asked him several
questions about the cigar. The joker
seemed innocent and asked what was
the trouble but the young man did not
state. It has since been found out that
the young lady's father played football
on the front porch with the young man
when, he asked how he liked the cigar.
There Is a little girl in the west part
of town who was kept in bounds by her
mother with words instead of harsher
means.
The little girl was told when she did
anything wrong that God was watching
her and that even if none of the family
saw her that "He would." It was ex
plained to her that God was always with
her. For several months her mother
ruled her with the suggestion that God
was always watching her. As it came
nearer Christmas the little girl longed
for certain toys. She wanted Santa
Claus to bring her a basket full of toys.
Her mother changed her tactics and told
the child if she did this and that Santa
Claus would not come to see her. When
ever the little one needed chiding she
was told about Santa Claus. One day
the little girl was out walking. Her pet
dog followed her and she tried to make
him go back. He would not. Suddenly
she turned around, stamped her foot
and said. "Fido, you must go back. It's
enough to have God and Santa Claus
tagging after me without you."
The old family cat still lives with a
certain Topeka family and it happened
this way and not because the cat has
nine lives.
The old tabby seemed to be growing
childish or kittenish and the family de
cided it must die. Sentence was pass
ed and the cat was taken to the cellar,
placed under a box and a towel saturat
ed with chloroform from a bottle was
placed under the box and a dozen
bricks piled on the box. The members
of the family could not stand by and
see or hear the cat expire, so they went
up stairs. That was in the morning.
In the afternoon the family held a
council of war and decided that the cat
was dead and went down to make sure.
"You lift the box, said one when the
cellar was reached.
"No, you lift it."
"Wonder if she is dead?"
"Of course. She has been there all
day with the chloroform."
"Well. I'll lift the box," said the third
member of the party.
She lifted the box and the first thing
that appeared was a cat's paw. It
moved.
"She's not dead," they screamed and
rushed up stairs.
Finally they mustered up courage
enough to go down and push the box
over with a broom handle. To be sure
the cat was not dead. It was very
much alive and very hungry.
Then it w-as discovered that Florida
water had been used instead of chloro
form. ....
Half a dozen people in Topeka ate
looking for "Mose Ashby" and they
have blood in their eye, but they will
rot find him.
Not long ago a man stepped up to a
certain dentist and said: "Have you
heard what Mose Ashby said about
you .
"No. Who ia Mosa Ashby?" . said the
dentist.
"Why, don't you know Ashby. He's
tne weaumest cattleman in western
Kansas. He said he was up to your
office a few days ago to have a tooth
puuea ana that vou did tne jod iixe a
country blacksmith. He can't say
enough about you."
The dentist went off mad as a hor
net at Mose Ashby and swearing that
if he ever met him Ashby'scareer would
De enaed.
One night a call came for a hack to
meet mose Ashby at the Rock Island
depot, but the hackman did not find
Ashby.
A waiter in a restaurant was told
that Ashby said he was the worst he
ever saw; that he had spilled soup on
Asnoy s coat and that if he (Asnoyj
ever caught him there would be trouble.
A young man was talking of opening
a drug store. It came to him that Mo3e
Ashby said he "was acquainted with
that fellow In Oklahoma and that he
was a moonshiner down there." The
young druggist will annihilate Mose
Ashby If he ever finds him. But there
is no such person as Mose Ashby. It is
a myth, but the dentist, the hackman,
the waiter and the druggist have that
to discover.
REBUTTAL TESTIMONY.
In the Powers Case Reveals
Many Conflicting Stories.
Georgetown, Ky, Aug. 11. When
court convened today it was with the
prospect that the rebuttal evidence lor
the prosecution In the Powers case
would be concluded some time during
the day. A persistent rumor that Yout
sey might take the stand In rebuttal
was denied by people sufficiently close
to him to make the denial semi-official.
W. F. Grayot, assistant state auditor,
produced the books, of the state audi
tor In response to a subpoena duces
tecum to show what amount of the
$100,000 reward appropriated by the leg
islature had been expended In the
search for and prosecution of those ac
cused of the crime. The record showed
taht In all $5,000 had been drawn.
Mr. Grayot also produced the record
showing that W. H. Culton was paid
his full salary as a clerk in the audi
tor's office for December and part of the
month of January. This was done to
contradict ex-Auditor Stone, who
charged Culton with stealing $1,000 and
who stated that he dismissed Culton
and caused Auditor Sweeney to refuse
to give him a clerkship.
D. P. Mayhew of Knox county, said
he saw Wharton Golden in the barber
shop at Barbourville just before his
confession. Golden did not display a
roll of money and said nothing about
going to get part of the reward. A. L.
Reed, an attorney of Laurel county,
corroborated the statements of the wit
nesses who testified yesterday in re
gard to the statement of James Sparks,
county attorney of Laurel county, on
January 20 to the effect that Goebel
was to be killed that day and the Gov
ernor Taylor would pardon the assas
sin. Lieutenant Julian Kersey of the
Frankfort military company, testified
in regard to the movements of the mi
litia. P'rank Kavanaugh, assistant state li
brarian, testified he saw Caleb Powers
in conversation with Charles Finley
and Wharton Golden on the afternoon
of January 25, the time Powers clams

FIGHT RECEIPTS $50,000.
Corbett and Fitzsimmons Speak
The First Time in Years.
New York, Aug. 11. The gate receipts
at the big fight last night were fullv $50.
000. Of this Flti will get about 15,6o0
and Ruhlin $S,500. The other half g to
the fight promoters.
For the first time since their memorable
battle at Carson City, Corbett and Bob
Fitzsimmons were brought together last
night. After Fitzsimmons recovered suf
ficiently he strolled across the ring to
Ruhlin's corner to shake hands with his
victim. Corbett was standing close by,
but never said a word.
In turning away from Ruhlin, Fitzsim
mons spied his old rival and, extending his
hand, said:
"Well, Jim, will you shake?"
"Why. certainlv," said the ex-champion,
as he grasped Ruby Robert warmly by
the hand.
"I made a good fight, didn't I, Jim?" in
quired Fitzsimmons.
"Yes," said Corbett, "you made. a great
battle, and I wish y6u luck."
Both fighters parted smiling, Few peo
ple close to the ring noticed the incident
on account bf the' great excitement. It
was the first word that passed between
the pair in years. Although they have
come together frequently on the street,
neither has noticed the other.
DOGS POISONED.
Several Valuable Animals on Lincoln
Street Lose Their laves.
Peonle Hvlnir tn the vteinltv of Fifth and
Lincoln streets have recently lost several
valuable dogs by poison left tn the neigh
borhood by some miscreant who has taken
tnis cowardly and mnuman metnoa oi

Dr. R. E. Buckmaster lost an Irish
setter by poison this morning. It was val
ued at $50. Little Marguerite Klene lost
her black and tan terrier at the same
time.
G. W. W. Yates' Irish setter, which was
also valuable, died several days ago from
poison, and Florence March lost a ter

PRIZE FIGHT BETS.
Considerable Money Changed Hands
in Topeka.
There was considerable betting In To
peka on last night's prize fight.
Among the cash winners,George Burg
hardt was as fortunate as any one and
he won about $150.
Eugene Hagan made a bet of $60 to
$10 on Fitzsimmons. Ordinarily the odds
were 10 to 8. But his man was good and
"Gene was prouder of the bet than he
would have been had it been even mon
ey. A colored barber named Walker on
Ninth street, placed two $50 and one $100
bets and won.
A clerk in a clothing store on a salary
of $50 per month made a bet of $175 on
Ruhlin last night and wrote out a check
for the amount. After losing he went
around to the bank this morning and
stopped payment on the check.
Another very foolish young society
man bet a half dozen pairs of gloves
against an ice cream soda with a young
lady and lost. This morning he drew a
check on the bank for $12 to pay for the
gloves to cancel his debt. ,
Clarence Scott was also fortunate in
placing his money on the winner, and as
a result has $100 to his credit more than
he had before the fight.
Perhaps the most novel bet made last
night was between Wate Watts and
John Slim. A3 a result of the bet Watts
had to push John Slim in a wheelbar
row from Tenth and Kansas avenues to
First street. John Slim had a large pla
card fastened to the front of the wheel
barrow announcing "I bet on Fitssim
mons." The debt was cancelled this
morning at about 10 o'clock. As they
passed along the street they caused a
great deal of comment.
COL ROSSINGTON'S FIRE
Telephone Burned Up Because
of Crossed Wire.
The fire department was called this
morning to the residence of CoL W. H.
Rossington, at 914 Monroe street. It was
the fourth time the department has been
called there.
The telephone wire became crossed with
a heavily charged wire and the telephone
burned out. Several attempts were made
to send in the alarm from telephones in
the neighborhood, but all on that circuit
seemed to be out of order. A little boy
ran to the tire department headquarters
with the alarm at 11:40. By the time the
department reached the house the tele
phone had burned out. While returning
from the Rossington fire the companies
ii-ocn station ivo. a stopped at anotner tel
phone fire at 724 Monroe street.
The first time the department was called
to tne tossmgton Home was April 1U, lata,
when a dangerous fire started in a bed
room. The fire was confined to the room
and after a hard fight was extinguished
with a loss of $568. The second time the
department was called for the same house
was April '2. iss, when a chimney burned
out. The third time was February 12. Iis99,
when ashes in the pit of a lireplace start

put out with triflinsr loss. Colonel Ross
ington donated $25 to the firemen's relief
tuna last year.
