The Fairbanks presidential boom is
Jiaving a nice comfortable time during
the absence of Mr. Beveridge.
The Democratic party is being placed
tn position by its leaders to receive a
large amount of gratuitous advice.
Perhaps the trial of Neeley Is being
postponed until the future political
Flatus of Cuba has been fully de
termined. Persons who start runs on banks dur
ing such weather as lias prevailed for
the past month, should have more con
sideration for the poor tellers.
It looks as though the Cuban question,
were being manipulated both, on the
island and In this country, so as to es
cape paying a lot of debts.
War is starting early In the Demo
cratic ranks. By election time in 1904
probably there will be a half dozen
Democratic parties instead of two.
Now that Gomez and Talma have
talked it over, perhaps they will in
form an anxious public which one of
them is to be the first president of the
Cuban republic.
There is yet hope for the Boers. It is
reported that Funston Is to retire from
the Fnlted States army. What more
natural, than that he should help out
Oom Paul.
Governor Dockery has set a day for

Ft. Louis Star: The temperature at

A Chicago lady recently.organized an
nnti-cigarette league, and offered prizes
to the small boys who became members
for essays on "Why I Don't Smok
Cigarettes." "Cigarettes make me bil
ious, and I have to take pills," was one
j-oungster's reason for abstinence. 'I
smoked cigarettes for two years, and
thon quit because they were hurting
l'.ie and the dealer stopped the pic
tures," declared a juvenile George
Washington. Still another youthful es
sayist said: "I chewed tobacco and
smoked cigarettes and lost two pounds.
Tobacco is a misfortune."
LEADING THE WORLD IJT IRON.
From the N. Y. World. 3
The spinal column of modern civiliza
tion is iron. It is an axiom that the
nation that produces and uses most
Iron leads the race, so Tar at least as
material growth is concerned.
It is therefore an event of large
meaning that the United States in the
year 130 shot ahead of all other coun
tries in the production of iron ore. The
Immense total of 27,500.000 tons was
taken out of our mines last year. For
the first time in our history we sur-f-assed
the iron-ore production of both
el rent Britain and Germany.
Within two years the mines of this
country have increased their output by
nearly one-half. No less than twenty
four of our states and two of our terri
tories fire now iron-ore producers,
ffichigan leads the procession with an
cut put of nearly 10,000.0(30 tons, but
Minnesota treads very closely on her
heels. Alabama is third, with an out
put of 2,7SQ.000 tons.
A striking feature of this increased
iron-ore production is that, contrary to
the general rule, Its value has increased
at the same time. The total output of
1900 was valued at $68,590,604, an aver
age of $2.42 per ton, which was $1 per
ton more than the average value of
the much smaller output of 1S99. In
part this is explained by the fact that
the big Steel Trust controls the ma
jority of the best mines, though it is
due In some measure to the general
"boom" In all values and prices.
GLOBE SIGHTS

An Atchison girl, who dreamed over
a piece of wedding cake last night,

An Atchison young man dreamed
last night that he got up and shoveled

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
(From the New York Press.
Lots of people keep up their honey
moon long after all the honey is gone
out of it.
Most poets can change their jingle
much easier than they can jingle their

After the first six months a woman's
idea of being made happy is being made
comfortable.
There is hope for a man if a woman
begins by hating him; but he has no
chance on earth if she begins by trust

Robbers Work For an Hour
With Town Looking On.
Fail to Open Strong Box and
Flee Without Booty.
Columbus, O., July 15. A gang of six
or seven robbers wrecked the Ressler
& Ashbrooke bank at Alexandria, in
Licking county, about 1 o'clock this
morning. The strong box resisted their
efforts and they overlooked a package
of $1,500 in the outer vault, which they
blew almost to pieces. Tools were sto
len from the Toledo & Ohio Central
railroad with which the front door of
the bank was opened, after which four
charges of dynamite were exploded to
open the vault. The noise aroused
Cashier C. B. Buxton, and others, who
reside near, and they hastened to the
scene. Although the citizens surround
ed the building the robbers remained
in the bank for an hour making re
peated attempts to force tha strong
box, meanwhile keeping up an ex
change of shots with the villagers.
Finally the bandits fled in two rigs
which had been previously stolen.
Sheriff Anderson and a posse are in
pursuit.
There was only $800 in the strong
box, the package of $1,500 having been
received too late last evening to be
placed in it. The loss is covered by in
surance. CAUGHT 111 TOPEKA.
Kansas City Negro Believed to
Be Implicated in Assault.
The police were notified by telephone
Monday night about 10:30 that a negro
wanted in Kansas City, was at the
transfer station. A few minutes later
the same person, who refused to give
his name, called up the station again,
and said the man was going north be
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues. He al
so gave a description of the man.. Ser
geant Carpenter hurried up to the cor
ner of Fifth and Kansas avenue and
captured the man, who gave his name
as W. C. Warner. He Is a brown skin
ned negro about 25 years old, and
possessed a Rock Island time check
payable to a different name. He will be
held over until some of the Kansas City
authorities arrive to identify him.
The police believed that Ed, better
known as "Crook" Wright, was the man
who had telephoned the information but
Wright denies it. He says that ail he
knows about the man is that he was
"broke" and he gave him some money
and a place to sleep the night before.
He came down to the station after the
arrest and talked with the prisoner.
Warner is supposed to be one of the
gang who assaulted Grace Lewis after
sandbagging her escort, Vernie New
man, in Troost park on the evening of
July 11th. There is a $200 reward for
each of the negroes connected with the
crime. A mob tried to get two of f
men arrested in Kansas City last Fri
day night.

Northwestern, the first of the North
western company's fleet to leave Chi
cago for Europe, passed through the
Straits of Mackinaw at 5 a. m. today,
and probably will arrive in Chicago to

PASS THROUGH HELL GATE
Route Not Considered Particularly
Dangerous to Vessels.
New York, July 16. It is riot unlikely
that the auxiliary cruiser Buffalo will
pass through Hell Gate tomorrow when
she leaves for Newport. Captain Hutch
ins, commanding the vessel, has given
it as his opinion that the passage is
not particularly dangerous. Officers at
the navy yard say that the order issued
after the Massachusetts went through
Hell Gate to the effect that no battle
ships were to be taken through without
permission does not apply to cruisers.
The officers seen believe Captain Hutch
ins will take the short course through
the gate.

CUBRAfi im EXPLAlli
Populists at Home Want to
Know Some Things.
John Curran, the secretary of the
Populist state central committee, will
be the principal attraction at Mound
City on July 27, when he will explain
to the Linn county Populist committee
"where he Is at."
Curran's reply to Mort Albaugh's in
vitation for the Populists to Join the
Republican ranks does not seem to
settle the question with the rock-ribbed
and ancient middle-of-the-roaders of
Linn county. Perhaps Curran's little
word "if" the Pops go by the board,
and he has to seek shelter in some
other fold he will go with the goats
and be a Democrat before he will Join
the Republicans. If you ask a Popu
list "Where does Curran stand?" they
will say: "Where? Why, he stands
where we all stand." But nevertheless
Curran will be on hand at Mound City
to tell how it happened.
DICK COOLEY LET OUT.
Topeka Eall Player Given His
Release by Syracuse.
Syracuse, N.Y., July 16. Dick Cooley.
first baseman for the Syracuse club of
the Eastern league, has been given his
release by Manager Leonard. A. G.
Slater, first baseman for Worcester will
succeed Cooley.
Dick's determination to be a good
fellow at any cost, may be at the bot
tom of the movement against htm in
Syracuse. Then again, Richard de
mands a star's price for playing.
A meeting of Eastern league direc
tors Is being held at Hartford today.
President P. T. Powers, it is believed,
called the meeting for the purpose of
making some arrangements regarding
baseball conditions in Syracuse The
team in that city has failed to draw,
largely due to accidents sustained by
players. Newark, N. J., a city consid
ered capable of supporting a minor
league team, may be considered for a
place in the Eastern league circuit, but
it is more likely that Syracuse will be
bolstered up by means of collecting a
first-class team.
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Miss Mary Carruthers Falls While
Getting Out of Bed.
Miss Mary Carruthers, who lives at
813 Tyler street, was the victim of a
peculiar accident this morning. In get
ting out of bed, she fell and broke one
of her ribs. She will be confined to her
room for some time as a result of the

thropies. He kept his promise, al
though he had a large income. Mr.
Spring discontinued active work in

Pan Francisco, July 16. Today is
the third of the Schuetzenfest, and the
marksnen began work on the targets
early, though the weather was not ail
that could be desired for good shoot
ing during the opening hours of the

what cold and the atmosphere clouded
by a light fog. The wonderful record
of C. M. Henderson, who scored 79
points out of a possible 80 yesterday,
will not be broken during the present
tournament, according to the estimate
of competent Judges.

sheriffs' posses who have been search
ing for the Great Northern train rob
bers, have abandoned the chase and
are returning home, only a few Pink
erton detectives and the posse guarding

being surrounded, etc., for the purpose
of throwing the officers off the trail.
Government Defeated.
London, July 16. The government
sustained a defeat in the house of
lords, which although quite unimport
ant in itself, was indicative of the
growing discontent. The incident
arose from the question whether a
model of the new war office should be
made and exhibited. Lord Lansdowne,
the foreign secretary, refused to enter
tain this proposition, but on division
the motion was carried, 41 to 20. The
announcement of these figures was
ffreeted with prolonged cheers.
