SHERMAfHS DEAD.
Continued from the First Page.1
ways regarded him as the ablest and
most conservative statesman of our
country. He was in every sense a true
American. His long career of public
service has never been marred by a fail
ure. The greatest monument to his
memory -will be his own splendid rec
ord." Henry C. Payne, vice chairman of the
Republican central national committee,
said: "Jily acquaintance with Senator
Sherman has extended over a period of
thirty years and he possessed my high
est respect and regard. His career has
been a credit to himself and to his coun
try. He was one of the statesmen who
have accomplished something in the way
of legislation which has made and will
continued to make a strong impression on
the welfare of the country. His passing
away removes one of the statesmen of
what may be called the war period and
there are not many left."
Senator James K. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, said:
' For many years I regarded Mr. Sher
man as the wisest Republican in public
life. He was a man of great sagacity
and foresight and has impressed his per
sonality as much upon the government
in the last forty years as any other man
who has been before the public."
Ex-Comptroller of the Treasury James
II. Eckies said: ' I regret to learn that
Senator Sherman has passed away. I
knew him intimately in Washington. I
do not know of any one who could have
been more gracious in his own home and
more entertaining in conversation."
HE 'AS A GREAT MAM.
Canton, O., Oct. 22. Judge Wm. R.
Day, who succeeded the late John Sher
man as secretary of state, in speaking
of his death said:
"In the death of Secretary Sherman
the country has lost one of its greatest
statesmen and notable figures. Mr. Sher
man has been continuously in national
affairs for a greater length of time than
any American now living. He became
prominent in public life as far back as
the fifties, when he was a member of
the congressional committee that visited
Kansas to invesigate the troubles then
prevailing there, iie neipea iorm in
Kepublican party and throughout his
long career was one of the most trusted
and able leaders. His impression is on
all of the great measures enacted into
legislation and carried into the consti
tution during and after the civil war.
Perhaps his crowning work was as sec
retary of the treasury under President
Hayes, when he carried to successful is
sue the act providing for the resump
tion of specie payments. In great meas
ure we owe to his firmness and courage
the high credit of our country abroad,
and the sound condition of its finances
at home. He was, indeed, a great man.
and his countrymen wiil mourn his loss
find cherish his memory. His place in
history is secure as one of the foremost
of American statesmen."
PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
"Washington, Oct. 22. The president
this afternoon issued the following proc
lamation: DEATH OF THE HOX. JOHN SHER
MAN. By the president of ths United States
of America,
A Proclamation.
To the People of the United States:
In the fullness of years and honors,
John Sherman, lately secretary of state,
has passed away.
Few among our citizens have risen to
greater or more deserved eminence in
the national councils than he. The story
of his public life and services is as it
were the history of the country for half
a century.
In the congress of the United States
the ranked among the foremost in the
house and later in the senate. He was
twice a member of the executive eabi
nent, first as secretary of the treasury
und afterwards secretary of state.
Whether in debate during the dark
hours of our civil war, or as the director
jf the country's finances during the per
iod of rehabilitation, or as a trusted
councillor in framing the nation's iaws
for over 40 years, or as the exponent of
its foreign policy, his course was ever
marked by devotion to the best interests
of his beloved land, and by able and
conscientious -effort to uphold its digni
ty and honor. His countrymen will long
revere his memory and see in him a
type of the patriotism, the uprightness
and the zeal that go to moulding and
strengthening a nation.
In fitting expression of the sense of
fcereavement that afflicts the republic, I
direct that on the day of the funeral the
executive offices of the United States
display the national flag at half mast
and that the representatives of the Uni
ted States in foreign countries shall pay
in like manner appropriate tribute to
the illustrious dead for a period of ten
clays. i
Done at the city of Washington, this
twenty-second day of October, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand and nine
hundred and of the independence of the
United States of America, the one hun
dred and twenty-fifth.
WILLIAM. M'KINLET.
By the president:
JOHN HAY, Secretary of State.
IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES.
In diplomatic circles the news of Mr.
Fherman's death brought many expres
sion of heartfelt regret as the foreign
representatives had been brought in in
timate association with him during his
pervices as secretary of state. The
French charge d'affaires, M. Thiebaut,
accompanied by Captain Vignal and M.
Heoufve of the embassy staff took early
occasion to leave cards at the Sherman
residence and other members of the
corps paid their respects later. The Chi
nese minister and members of his suit
were among the callers about noon. M.
Thiebaut spoke of Mr. Sherman as a
man whose name was known the world
over, as conspicuous in the public life
end progress of this country. Similar
tributes were expressed at the Russian
and German embassies. The Chinese
minister, Mr. Wu, said that above all
Mr. Sherman was a good man, a truly
irood man, one whose influence had ai
isvays been elevating in public affairs
and for the maintenance of the right.

London, Oct. 22. The news of the
death of ex-Secretary Sherman reached
here too late for most of the afternoon
newspapers. The Pall Mall Gazette

retaryship in President McKlnley's ad
ministration showed Mr. Sherman had
outlived his usefulness his services to his
country for the preceding forty years
were great and will be remembered with
CratHude."
SIORT OF SHERMAN'S LIFE.
The passing of John Sherman removes
fforn the public stage about the last of
a6M tow-ir.g figures whose public lives
beginning with the oivil war and cover
let riei . lis last 49 years wers
interwoven with the great events of
that epoch. As his illustrious brother,
William Tecumeeh, shared with Grant
and Sheridan the highest place among
the military heroes of the generation, so,
too, John Sherman stood in civic life
along with Seward, Sumner, Evarts,
Blaine and that coterie of intellectual
giants of war and reconstruction days.
Always a leader, twice a member of the
cabinet, first as head of the treasury
and then of state affairs, three times a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for the presidency and for years one
of the great creative forces in congress
his name was identified with the laws,
the law-making and the political strug
gles which engaged attention for almost
half a century. Few men had more con
tinuous public service in such a diversity
of fields and in all of them his work was
conspicious.
John Sherman was bom in Lancaster,
O., May 10, 1S23, three years after the
birth of his brother William Tecumseh.
They came of sturdy ancestors, tracing
their lineage back to Roger Sherman,
one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence.to the Shermans who came
over shortly after the landing of the
Pilgrims. The father was a lawyer of
prominence of Ohio who rose in later
life to be Judge of the supreme court
When he died in 1829 the large family
of boys were left with scant support
and were adopted by friends and rela
tives. William went with Thomas Ew
ing, who shaped his career as a soldier
while John went with an older brother,
Charles, at Mansfield and took up the
study of law .which, in turn took him
into the field of politics and public life.
His first public service was in 184S when
he was a delegate to the Whig conven
tion at Philadelphia which nominated
Zachary Taylor for the presidency.
Again in 1852 he was a delegate at Balti
more when Winfield Scott was nom
inated for the presidency.
He was elected to the 34th congress
and took his seat December 3, 1855.
His prominence began when the speak
er, Nathaniel P. Banks, appointed him
on the committee to investigate the ruffi
anism in "Bleeding Kansas." He was
acting chairman during the inquiry and
the report he made was the basis for the
presidential canvass of 1856. At the end
of his second term in congress he was
recognized as the foremost man in the
house of representatives. He was a can
didate for speaker, coming within three
votes of that position. His defeat for
the speakership led to his becoming
chairman of the committee on ways and
means. Here for the first time liis pe
culiar genius for finance showed itself.
The finances of the country were sadly
crippled: members of the congress were
not receiving their pay. His first step
was in securing the passage of the bill
authorizing the treasury notes of 1S60.
About this time Salmon P. Chase re
signed his seat as senator from Ohio
and Sherman was elected to his place,
entering the senate for the first time
on March 4, 1861. His congressional fame
had preceded him and he at once took
the same rank in the upper branch as
he had had in the lower. Hi3 service
was continuous until 1873, most of the
time as chairman of the finance commit
tee, in which position he wrote many of
those far-reaching measures of finance
with which he was identified. The sus
pension of specie payment occurred in
1S62, necessitating the issue of United
States notes. He largely carried this
measure through, and was also the de
fender of the legal tender features of
these notes, which excited wide differ
ences in and out of congress. Following
this he devised the plan for the resum
ing of specie payment and practically
framed the bill by which resumption was
to occur on January 1, 1879.
When Hayes became president Sher
man entered the treasury and there as
executive officer he had an opportunity
to execute the plan of specie payment
which he had previously placed on the
statute books. His first move .was to
begin the accumulation of great stocks
of gold with which to pay specie for
paper when January 1, 1879, arrived.
Six months before that time he had ac
cumulated in the treasury $140,000,000
and when January 1 came he had the
satisfaction of seeing the paper money
gradually rise to the value of gold until
gold no longer brought a premium. The
execution of this important fiscal move,
through congress and in the treasury,
aroused intense differences and there
was criticism as well as approval.
In 1880 he became a candidate for the
presidency and hi3 name was presented
to the national convention by James A.
Garfield. In the contest between the
friends of Grant and Blaine, Garfield
was nominated. Again in the national
convention of 1S84 he was placed in
nomination by Joseph B. Foraker. But
the Ohio delegation divided and Sher
man secured only a few votes. In 1888
he was a candidate for the third time
leading throughout with 249 votes on
the second ballot and continually there
after until Benjamin Harrison was
nominated by the .'withdrawal of other
candidates.
He had returned to the Benate in 1881,
serving continuously until 1897 when he
resigned to enter the cabinet of Presi
dent McKinley as secretary of state.
His resignation from that body occurred
soon after the declaration of war with
Spain and he returned to private life af
ter 45 years of almost continuous pub
lie service. Since then he has done some
literary work, carrying forward his
memoirs from the period of hi3 former
book.
HIS WEALTH.
The Grand Old Man of America was
one of the richest in the world. This
was accounted for by himself as "luck";
but his friends say he had amassed his
wealth by actual saving. A close busi
ness friend of the family says that the
old gentleman had part of the first
money tie ever earned. For sixty years
he had bgn saving a little all the time
and the result is riches; he patronized
savings banks and invested in small but
lucrative ways. He never put a dol
lar down without picking two up.
As congressman and chairman of the
committee of ways and means of the
house, as senator and chairman of the
finance committee of the senate, and
as secretary of the treasury during
some of the most trying times in the
financial history of the country. Sen
ator Sherman played an important
and influential part of the, past forty
years.
Of his wealth and the various per
sonal and political attacks that have
been ma'de upon him, he made this
statement, after giving his reply to an
accusation on, that score: "I have
often since been accused of the crime of
'being rich,' but as nearly all my pos
sessions are visible to the naked eye,
and their history and acquisition are
known to so many, I think I am not re
quired to prove that I have not made
them as the result of legislation or my
holding public trusts."

Three Days' Speaking Tonr.
Detroit, Oct. 22. Adlai EL Stevenson,
Democratic nominee for vice president,
arrived in Detroit today from Chicago
and after taking breakfast with National
Committeeman Campau left on a three
days' speaking tour of Michigan. Mr.
Stevenson said he was feeling in splen

"SOUND MONEY " PARADE.
New York Republicans to Slake - Big
Showing Nov. 3.
New York, Oct. 22. The Republican
sound money parade of November 3 will
be a floral exhibit as well as a parade in
the interest of the Republican presiden
tial nominee. The carnation pink has
been adopted as an emblem of the pa-
raders, who, in addition to wearing the
natural puik, will wear buttons with a
pictured pink and the motto: "We will
bloom again for McKinley ana Roose
velt." They have given orders to local
florists to bring to the city 200,000 carna
tion pinks for the occasion.
A Broadway florist, who has an order
for 100,000, said today:
"It is perfectly easy to gather in 200,
000 pinks for this occasion. We place
our orders with the producers of pinks
in all the country round about, and
bring thousands from as far west as
Wisconsin. The growers gather the flow
ers when they reach perfection, put them
in cold storage, and deliver them on the
morning when they are wanted.
"The price will average $50 a thou
sand. "Some will probably cost Jl apiece."

Washington, Oct 22. The cabinet
meeting today lasted from 11 till 1

Gage, Root, Long and Hay, Attorney
General Griggs.
Secretary Root and Gen. Leonard
Wood had an interview with the presi

Sherman, and the president directed
SScretary of State Hay to prepare a for

At the conclusion of the meeting it
was stated that the agreement between
England and Germany as to their future

This has been a very pleasant October so far but look out. Old "Winter may strike you on the hish
divide with that Summer Underwear on. Better call and see us. We have a fair quality of Men's Winter
Underwear at 50o suit; still better at 90c suit, and best at $2.78 suit.; . Ladies' Underwear at from 38c to
50c suit. Union Suits from 39c to 50c and upward. Fine grade Ladies' Scarlet all-wool Underwear at
1.96 suit cannot be beat in price and quality in the city.
No one in Kansas goes Sockless even Jerry Simpson does not now. For "The Man With the Hoe"
we have Hose at 5c a pair and we have them at 15c and 19c a pair and at 25c a pair we have Hose that
the young fellow who wears them, when he gets on a street car and pulls up his paats to keep them from
bagging at the knees, will be proud to show.
No one goes Shoeless in Kansas Shoes are now made so cheap and strong. A man called on us a few
days since, who had on a pair which he said he had worn continuously for eighteen months, he had pur
chased them from us and paid $1.00 for them. He bought another pair at $1.50, which he thought would
last him until he was compelled to climb the Golden Stairs. This is a fact.
Using that word Fact reminds us of a story. A Farmer had two dogs, one a full grown St. Ber
nards, the other a feist, when any one passed along the road the St. Bernard would run out and bark
"Bojv-wow-wow, some one is coming" the feist would glide out on three legs and yelp "It's a fact by
gosh fact fact fact."
If any of our Shoes prove defective or rip, we have them repaired at pur cost that is one reason why
we have so large a shoe trade we try to do the right thing.
Notwithstanding the recent advance in Staple Dry Goods we are still selling at the old prices and
propose to do so until compelled to replenish our stock.
Ladies', if you haven't bought that Winter Hat yet, drop into our Millinery Department at the rear
end of store, and interview our little milliner, Miss Renyer, she can please the most fastidious, and can
sell you something chic and for less money than you can purchase elsewhere.
Our Millinery Department is a good place to take a rest. While out shopping drop in and take a
rocker you are welcome. .
"A lawyer's success depends largely upon his reputation among thieves." Ours depends entirely upon
the quality of goods we carry and our reasonable prices. We shall endeavor to keep up our reputation.

New York: B. R. T. and Sugar stocks
are close together in the room and seis
of traders operate largely at times in both
stocks simultaneously. This action has
brought selling by the trading element in
a small way and particularly kept the
short interest quiet and restful. In B. R.
T. the short interest is said to be of enor
mous size, but prcbably no larger than the
short interest in Sugar. When the mar
ket has reached the top prices these stocks
probably will be the sustaining factors for
the rest of the list
New York: The market will opn with
a flourish of trumpets on the part of the
bulls and prices will be moved up all along
in response to the sharp advance in Lon
don. Don't buy stocks on this bulge. The
market has too much steam. As sharp
reaction will follow today's advance and
the market will be a sale for a substan
tial turn. Get some steel and wire for a
quick profit, but don't hold it over today.
The industrials and the specialties will
have a sharp advance, but sell them on
bulge. Take long profits on the advance

New York, Oct. 22. The strength of the
market is a surprise to everyone, but es
pecially to the big bulls who sold out
about the middle of last week. When
these interests disposed of their holdings,
it was considered a foregone conclusion
that stocks would experience a sharp set
back. But in spite of the withorawal of
Worrastr and his associates, the market
continued ita advance, ami has in fact
made more rapid strides than when the
were at the helm. Outsiders are buying
stocks for many months and if this ijuv
ing movement develops in proportions,
which the more sanguine traders antici
pate, a sensational rise is likely to occur
during the next couple of weeks. It is
claimed by the friends of the sold-out
bulls, that stocks are passing into we-ik
hands and that a sudden coilapse of the
upward movement is only a question of a
few days. Representatives of the lead
ing commission houses report a substan
tial increase in the outside demand for
siocks and people who are buying them
are fully prepared to take care of them.
One house received an order Saturday to
buy five thousand shares of different divi
dend paying stocks from a client who had
not made a trade since the early part of
last summer. It is encouraging to lie able
to note this awakening of the outside pub
lic It reflects returning confidence and
insures a higher level of values. Unless
something unexpected occurs to turn the
market from its present course. As there
seems to be no doubt in the minds of Wail
street people in regard to the outcome of
the election, and as it is generally con
ceded that the re-election of McKinley
will stimulate business and insure a con
tinuance of the prosperity which the coun
try is now enjoying, it would be strange
if the stock market did not have a fair
sized boom. Just at the moment senti
ment is decidedly bullish and this week
will in all probability witness considerable
new business of a vigorous character.
European speculators have not, as yet,
shown any pronounced disposition to buy
our securities. This is -no doubt is due to
the fact that more uncertainty exists
abroad over the result of the election than
on this side. If foreigners felt success of
McKinley's election, they would be liberal
buyers. Holdings of American securilie-i
in Europe are insignificant compared with
what they were a couple of years ago.
The strength in the eteel stocks suggests
manipulation. There is a movement on
foot to make them pell higher in order to
make a market for insiders to sell. Peo
ple who make a specialty of this class of
stocks predict a big advance in prices in
the event of McKinley's election. Morgan
is said to be furnishing the buying power
in Northern Pacific, common, and South
ern railway stocks. It certainly requ.res
support of the highest grarle to sustain I
the price of Northern Pacifis. in the fare
of the constantly decreasing earnings.
There is considerable investment buying
01 njniauii i:iiiiiiiiuii. u,4 iuiiy ueeil
stated in these notes there this is one of
the most promising low-priced stocks and
those who can afford to carry it should
buy for a long pull. If. as seems to be
the general impress-ion, we are to have a
genuine bull market, the Grangers wiil
all sell considerably higher.
