and by Colonel E. C. Abdill, of General
John C. Black's staff. The arriving par
tv consisted of General Miles.Mrs. Miles,

VETERAN DROPS DEAD.
Chicago, Aug. 28. Charles Beckwith,
marching with Sheridan post No. 4, of
the department of Michigan, dropped
dead in the parade from heart disease at
Michigan avenue and Madison street.
William H. White, an old soldier of
i-Eau Claire, Wis., went insane in the
Central police station last night over the
disappearance of his family.
At the police station he said he be
came separated from his family at the
depot and had wandered all over the
i city looking for them. In the night,
from continued worry, he began to show
signs of insanity. The Wisconsin dele
gation was visited and a cousin of the
.afflicted man was found who took him
. in charge. Meantime an order was issued
to all policemen to look out for the
missing ones.
FOR PRESIDENT OF W. R. C.
Chicago, Aug. 28. For the office of
president of the Woman's Relief Corps,
for which an election will be held to
morrow, five candidates have already
been put forward. Mrs. Mary C. Hart
well of California, and Mrs. Mary L.
Carr of Colorado, are in the lead. Mrs.
Hartwell is supported by the Illinois
Gen. Albert D. Shaw, Commander of
delegation, but her own state is divid
ed, four of the more prominent Califor
nia delegates having come out for Mrs.
Carr. The fact that Colorado has nev
er had a president of the Relief Corps,
although the body was organized in
that state, is urged in favor of Mrs.
Carr. That Denver at present seems to
have the lead in the race to entertain
the G. A. R. encampment next year
and that for one state to carry off
two plums would be unfair, is being
urged against the Denver woman.
TO UNITE WAR VETERANS.
Reunion of the Blue and the Grey
Froposed.
Chicago, Aug. 28. An encampment of the
blue and the grey, a great organization
which shall Include every man who fought
for his principles, north or south, to be
held in 1901, is the dream of a large num
ber of the followers of the flag in '61, and
the effort is to be made to secure the
adoption of a resolution looking to that
end when the veteransmeet to elect a
commander in chief.
A. B. Leeper, of Owaneco, 111., i3 father
of the plan, and he is working night and
day to secure votes for his measure. Mr.
Leeper is a delegate at large to the pres
ent encampment. He is past commander
of Philip Baker Post No. 631, and adju
tant general of the Grand Army of Ameri
can Veterans. His proposition simply put
Is. "Let us kiss and make up."
When the annual Iillinois state encamp
ment of the Grand Army was he at
Jacksonville in May last, Mr. Leeper be
gan his work of securing votes for the
resolution which is to be presented here.
The resolution follows:
"Resolved, That our commander in chief
apoint a committee with full power to
act to .take the necessary preliminary
eteps to accomplish the object of having
a grand reunion of the Grand Army of
the Republic and the United Confederate
"Veterns, the Sons of Veterans and tho
Sons of Confederate Veterans and all their
friends at some point yet to be decided
upon, and begin the twentieth century
with a general handshake and renewal of
fidelity to our flag and the principles
which it represents, as an object lesson
and grand illustration to the world of
genuine Americanism and to demonstrate
the fact that 'peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war." "
BRYAN STAYS AWAY.
Follows McKinley's Lead Regarding
the G. A. R. Encampment.
Chicago, Aug. 28. William J. Bryan
has followed the example of President
McKiniey and declined to be a visitor at
the national encampment of the G. A.
R. He sent a message to Executive Di
rector Wililam H. Harper, the head of
the local committee in charge of the lo
cal end of the encampment, saying that
because of the absence of President Mc
Kiniey from the encampment he consid
ered it advisable to remain away. His
telegram is as follows:
"Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27. To W. H.
Harper, Executive Director of the Grand
Army of the Republic, Chicago.
"Since President McKiniey is detained
by public business, I believe that the
proprieties of the occasion demand that
I also decline and thus relieve the re
union of any appearance of partisan
ship. (Signed)
"W. J. BRYAN."
The local committee through Mr. Har
per expressed its regrets at the inability
of Mr. Bryan to be present by sending
him the following message:
'Tour telegram declining the invita
tion to the Grand Army reunion because
of President McKinley's absence by rea
son of his public duties received. The
executive committee appreciates your
delicacy of sentiment under the circum

WESTEKN CITY FAVORED
For Next National Encampment of
the G. A. B.
The contest for the honor of enter
taining' the next annual encampment
of the G. A. R. promises to be a rather
lively one. The preponderance of senti
ment apepars to be in favor of a west
ern city, and both Salt Lake and Den
ver have delegations on the ground
working hard to secure the encamp
ment of 1901. In the contest this year
some things beside geographical con
ditions are apaprently faaving much
weight with the veterans. The passing
of the years has made it much more
difficult to bear the fatigue of a march
under the blazing sun than it was in the
60's, and many of the prominent mem
bers of the organization are pronounced
in favor of the selection of a site for
the encampment where reasonably cool
weather may be expected. This senti
ment will undoubtedly have much to
do with the selection and it is consid
ered not unlikely taht the next annual
encampment may be held west of the
Mississippi river. Commander-in-chief
Shaw is quoted as favoring "any place
where the comrades may have cool
weather."
It is expected that the election of
Major Leo Raisseur of St. Louis, as
commander-in-chief will be unanimous,
there being no other candidate.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Government Has Not Sent War Ship
to Tangier.
New York, Aug. 28. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Just at this moment the Sultan of Mo
rocco need not be alarmed at the appear
ance of an American man of war in the
harbor of Tangier.
Officials of the state and navy depart
ments say that the report published this
morning that an American warship had
put in at Tangier for the purpose of
compelling Morocco to pay an indemnity
for injuries sustained by an American
citizen probably had its origin in a
guilty conscience.
An American naturalized citizen
named Marcus Azaquie was murdered
two months ago, by a mob in the town
of Fez. The crime was immediately re
ported to the state department by Mr.
Gummere, consul general at Tangier and
he was Instructed by cable to request the
French consul at Fez to make an in
vestigation. The report of the French
consul has not yet been received, but
Mf. Gummere has reported that during
the investigation he made a demand up
on the Moorish authorities for the ap
prehension and punishment of those
guilty of the murder.
No report of the arrival of an Ameri
can warship has reached the navy de
partment and it is presumed that the
vessel to which reference is made is the
Massachusetts State Nautical school
ship Enterprise.
The itinerary of this vessel calls for her
arrival at Tangier on August 24, and her
departure on August 26.
If her presence has stirred up the
Moorish authorities to compliance with
the demands of Mr. Gummere the state
department will be well pleased with the
visit of the Enterprise, notwithstanding
ine ract mat it naa no nana in arrang
ing the itinerary.
BOERS DEFEATED.

AFTER JASPER EARNEST.
Young Man Says the Ex-Councilman
Assaulted Him.
Benjamin Bush, who takes care of the
lights at the Rock Island sugar works
switch, came toTopeka today to secure a
warrant for the arrest of Jasper Earnest,
superintendent of the Earnest brick yard.
He says that Earnest and his son as
saulted him, and he has a black eye and
other bruises to verify his statements.
Mr. Nicholson Exhonerated.
C. C. Nicholson, the coal dealer at 1011
rsorth Kansas avene, who was arrested
yesterday charged with violating the city
ordinance relating to the owners of scales
weighing wagons other than their own,
was not guilty of the charge. Mr. Nichol
son was asked by the city weighmaster
to weigh ail wagons during the time the
city scales were being moved, and he did
so. He had not weighed in violation of
the ordinance at any other time, but it
was in following the request of the weigh
master that lead to his arrest. Tax Col
lector Bailey, who made the- charge, did
hot understand the circumstances.
TO TAKE OUT STAINS.
From the New York Herald. J
Mildew, iron rust and grease spots are
persistent worries in summer time to the
careful mother. Rub mildewed spots well
with lemon juice and salt and expose to a
hot sun. The most delicate fabric will be
unharmed. The spots will disappear.
For removing grease spots tage equal
parts of strong ammonia, water, ether and
alcohol. To prevent the ring forming
about the cleaned spot, rub with a cloth
slightly dampened with the same solution.
In other words, rub out the ring. If the
cloth is too wet it will only make another
one.
Ink spots should be attended to before
they dry to save the garment. Sponge
with milk until all the ink is removed,
and then sponge with benzine to take out
the grease lett by the milk. Ink spows
can be removed from goods of which the
color will not run by applying salts of
lemon.
When varnish gets on any garment th
cleansing should be done as soon as pos
sible. Wet the varnish thoroughly with
alcohol two or three times and then
sponge off with a clean cloth. If the
color has been affected the material
should be sponged with chloroform unless
the color is blue. Then vinegar or acetic
acid should be used instead of the chloro
form. Both of these are hard on the
hands and should be used with caution.
Muddy spots on white dresses may be re
moved by washing in a solution of car
bonate of soda in water. Lay the soiled
part on a cloth and sponge well.
One often notices on new linen yellow
stains left by the sewing machine. Such
garments should not be put into the wash
until the spots have been well rubbed with
liquid ammonia. Repeated applications of
fresh lard or butter will come as near as
anything to removing tar, though a spot
is almost always left.
Fine linen is continually in danger of
iron rust, and unless such spots are at
tended to at once there is little hope of
removing them. Soak the spot well, as if
for general washing, pass a hot iron over
a wet cloth, and when the latter steams
well put it under the stained garments.
Then, on the upper side of the goods,
rub a little oxalic acid where the spots
show. The action of the acid is hastened
by the heat and the moisture. The rut
disappears. Then the whole garment
should be washed with soap.
Paint on woolen clothing may some
times be removed by rubbing the spot
with the same cloth. It is supposed that
the paint disappears in the fuzz produced
by the rubbing. If this is not successful
try turpentine.
Blood stains are about as difficult as
any to get out. Here starch comes into
use. Make a thin paste and spread on
the stain. Leave it to dry. Then brush
off. Generally the stain will go with the
starch. The worst stains, however, will
require several applications of the starch.
A poor ironer is one of the great trials
of housekeeping. Scorched clothes are
often discarded as hopeless, but if not too
much burned may be made ail right by
the patient use of onion juice. Mix it with
an ounce of fuller's earth, a little shredded
soap and a wineglassful of vinegar. Heat
the mixture till the soap is dissolved.
Then wait till it is cold before applying.
Rub it well over the scorched place, leave
to dry and then put the garment in the
regular washing.
It is sometimes difficult to remove large
coffee stains. First pour boiling water
through the stain, then dip the spot in
strong ammonia water, rinse in cold
water, and put out in the sun to bleach.
For tea stains nothing is needed but plain
water.
Often the shrinking effect of rain drops
seems to have ruined light silks, when all
that is required is to Iron the silk on the
wrong side with a piece of muslin between
the goods and the iron.

manders extremely cautious in admit

able that the relaxation of the effort to
force an entrance into the palace gave
rise in the Chinese imagination to the
belief that the allies had been repulsed
and this was the basis of the report of
the defeat of the allies.
GERMANY STANDS OUT.
Washington, Aug. 28. Several replies
have been received to the instructions
Bent our ambassadors and ministers last
week asking them to sound the govern
ments to which they are accredited on
two propositions, first, the willingness of
those governments to accept the suffi
ciency of Earl Li Hung Chang's creden-

tials to treat with the powers for a set
telment, and, second, to ascertain if
possible what the future policy of each
power is to be. Regarding the latter
inquiry the replies thus far have de
veloped nothing.
With regard to the first inquiry, Eng
land and Russia are agreed that Earl
Li's credentials are sufficient. Germany,
however, takes a firm stand against
the sufficiency of his credentials and is
the only power 39 yet which has re
turned a flat footed dissension. The atti
tude of the United States is that Li's
credentials appear authentic.
COMMUNICATION BY WAR SHIP.
Washington, Aug. 28. The cabinet to
day devoted most of its session to con
sidering the difficulties that have been
experienced in communicating with Gen.
Chaffee and the other American com
manders in China. . International evi
dence was found in late dispatches re
ceived from them that tended to dem
onstrate that some person or persons had
been purposely delaying the messages
coming from Pekin and Tien Tsin to
Washington. It also is suspected that
our messages may have been injuriously
tampered with. The cabinet came to the
conclusion that if any Chinese persons
have interfered wTith the dispatches the
interference must have occurred on the
wires between Che Foo and Shanghai
and it was determined, to reopen direct
communication by means of a war ves
sel. Either the New Orleans or" the
Princeton, now at Shanghai, will be sent
at once to Che Foo, whre the military
cable system begins free from Chinese
interference.

the following dispatch received yester
day from General Chaffee:
"Taku, China, (no date). Adjutant

man, made the following statement con
cerning the Bryan notification meeting in
Topeka:
"The Bryan notification meeting at To

to numbers and enthusiasm.- Instead of
there being: 15,000 people present, there
were not to exceed 1,500 strangers and as
many Topeka people, 3000 being a liberal
estimate of the attendance. The meeting
was a "frost.' There was no enthusiasm,
no shouting for Bryan, andhis- reception
was chilly."

WM t
BILL SHATED GEN. MILES.
From the New York Sun.
During the autumn of 189 Major Gen
eral Miles and a party of Washington
friends arranged for a bear hunt in the
mountains of New Mexico. They arrived
at Magdalena in a special Car and were
met at the station by Captain Slocum with
troop E of the Seventh United States cav
alry, detailed to act as escort to the
party. Proceeding at once to the Hoff
man ranch, about 50 miles westward, they
pitched camp and next day started in to
hunt bears.
Shortly after they left Magdalena a
ranchman rode Into town with the start
ling intelligence that he had met Bill
Parks, an old resident, out on the moun
tains. Bill told him that he had shot
and killed a prominent citizen of Magda
lena and was trying to elude a posse sent
ir pursuit of him, also that the town
' . been visited by a lot of little men
who overturned all the buildings. As the
man reported killed was alive and the
buildings were still on solid foundations,
the conclusion reached was that Bill had
gone "locoed." A party of friends was
soon organized and on Bill's trail. On the
second day's hunt his hiding place was
discovered. He protested against return
ing to Magdalena. fearing a lynching, as
the man he imagined he had killed was
very popular. However, after a. long par
ley and with the assurance that he would
be protected, he consented to return.
The posse and Bill reached Magdalena
four days prior to the return of the bear
hunters. Bill was confined in a room for
two days and having greatly improved,
was then liberated. The day following
his release Bill walked into the Eclipse
saloon, and in a corner saw an old, un
used barber chair. Remarking that he
knew a thing or two about "barbering,"
he begged the proprietor to give him the
chair and allow him to begin business as
a barber. The saloonkeeper, wishing to
humor him, and feeling satisfied that no
one would risk his neck in Bill's care, gave
his consent. Bill fixed up the old chair,
sharpened a few rusty razors, secured a
towel or two and was ready for the rush
to begin. The rush came not, but Bill
kept on waiting and was presently re
warded. General Miles and his party returned
from what had been a successful bear
hunt, and took up their quarters in the
special car. The general, being very much
in need of a shave, inquired of a loiterer if
there was a barber shop in town. The
loiterer, who was a wag, pointed out Bill's
place, whereupon the general remarked
that he would go there In a few minutes.
The news spread quickly over town that
Bill was going to shave the' famous gen
eral. Miles. Bill selected his razor, got out
a clean towel and awaited the arrival. It
was evident to onlookers that he was
growing nervous. When the general ar
rived at the saloon standing room was at
a premium. With some difficulty he man
aged to reach the chair, where Bill re
ceived him with a courtly bow. When
the operation began there was a full
house. Those not close enough to see the
performance were rewarded by hearing
the scrape, scrape of the dull razor as it
was drawn across the victim's face. Gen
eral Miles took his medicine without a
murmur and bravely closed his eyes. This
encouraged Bill, who thought the razor
was working so smoothly that his cus
tomer had gone to sleep. He regained his
nerve and at the end of ten minutes the
ordeal was at an end. The general, look
ing much relieved, handed Bill a quarter
and departed. Bill's face beamed with
pride while congratulations poured in
from all sides.
The next morning Bill put up this sign
over his mirror: "General shaving, 25
cents." Bill's fame soon spread through
out the surrounding country, and his
chair is now besieged by customers who
want to be shaved by the man who shaved
General Miles.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Chicago, Aug. 28. Account of holiday In
Chicago and the news bureau likewise be
ing closed there are no statistics or re
liable information from which to formu
late a reliable grain market letter today.
All that can be said is that New York
wheat is higher on strength of better ex
port demand and Bradstreet's decrease in
the visible of 1,000.000 bushels, while a
large increase was anticipated. The
strength in New York corn is reported to
have been occassioned by Chicago shorts
buying freely in the New York market ac
count not being able to cover their lines.
We believe that both wheat and corn are
working into strong positions, and will
sell higher before they show much if any
break.

' New York TJptown Gossip.
New York, Aug. 28. The increased ac
tivity of the stock exchange, yesterday
was made possible by some sacrifices in
values. The declines were not important,
however, even where they reached the ex
treme limit, and the fact that one quarter
of the total transactions was contribute!
by Sugar Refining furnished clear proof of
the profesional character of the market.
The movement in Sugar Refining can not
be traced to any trade development, be
cause there should be another month of
good profits for the refiners. The street
talk that the dividend on the stock will
not be increased next month creates a
smile among persons best acquainted with
the affairs of the company. It would be
very hard to prove that an increase in the
dividend had been reasonably contem
plated, but it is accepted in well Informed
quarters that the rate will be the same
as in the previous quarter, namely, 1H per
cent. Nothing new in the general situa
tion furnished ground for the business in ,
the stock market yesterday. 1 ne aggres
siveness of he bear faction, although after
all on a moderate scale, may have been
due to the zest which comes with the
"tasting of blood"; that is, the small suc
cesses achieved in specialties by the bears
in the last few days of business may have
encouraged them to hunt for stop orders.
Market Gossm.
Liverpool: Wheat, d lower; corn, d
higher.
Omaha receipts: Hogs, 11,000, lower; cat
tle, 3,500, steady.
Liverpool: Spot wheat firm, unchanged:
spot corn steady, unchanged.
Chicago: The receipts of wheat today
will be light as compared with same day
for the last six weeks. There is a falling
off of our stocks in store; will increase
very slow, if any. The demand here is
large and at the price we seem to be
lower than other carrying centers, for the
reason they come in here and buy. Ex
porters are shippers from here in last few
davs. Our markets should do better.
St. Louis receipts: Wheat, 98,053 bu.; last
vear. 65,893 bu. Corn. 55,200 bu.; last year,
129,860 bu. Oats, 46,800 bu. ; last year, 63.
600 bu.
New York: Joseph says: "Bull inter
ests promise to be less apathetic. The
steel trade is improving; maintain posi
tion on long side of steel shares. Buy L.
& N. on any further dip."
Chicago: There will be no car lots sent
out of Chicago today, account of holi
day. Northwest receipts: Minneapolis, 204
cars; last year, 143. Duluth, 21 cars; last
year, 230.
Paris: Wheat closes steady, down 10c;

Antwerp: Wheat closes steady and un
changed. Berlin: Wheat closes steady.

Wednesday. '
New York, Aug. 28. The reaction in the
stock market which took place today was
past due when it put in its- appearance,
and although it did not assume any great
proportion, was perfectly healthy under
the circumstances and served in a meas
ure to chill bearish ardor and created the
impression that the movement was likely
to go still further. This belief was
strengthened by the fact that the oper
ators who until very recently had ben
most active in bearing prices were gen
erally ranged on the bear side, their
change of front no doubt being for the
purpose of getting values to higher level
preparatory to giving the market anothsr
boost, which barring untoward happenings
it is likelv to see in the not far distant
future. However, the advancing tendency
of prices was not wholly without resist
ance, as at intervals during the day fair
sized breaks occurred. London seemed in
clined to take a more hopeful view of the
situation in China, and the security mar
kets at that center were very firm. In
addition to this the foreigners renewed
their purchases of American railway
shares, here taking in all about 10.000 on
balance. There is a large outstanding
short interest in Burlington and St. Paul,
and we will be surprised if St. Paul don't
sell around 120 in the next few days.
