TO BE DESTROYED.
"Will Be the Fate of Liwson't Expen
sive Boat, the Independence.
Boston. A us. 29. Definite announce
ment has- been made by Thomas W.
Ujhwsou of the fate of the; America cup
(defender candidate Independence.
"You may announce," he said, "that
f.s it has been impossible for me to se
cure any -more inees for the Independ-
Cuce, siie will be docked September 3
r. i broken up. In the meantime I will
fiend her over the. course in the Fisher
f race off Boston September 2. that
's!i her friends my have a last look at
boat."
iir. Lawsoit ivired- that be cas not
asked Sir Thomas Lipton for a race be
fore or after the America's cup rates
and does not intend to. He thinks it
would be unfair to place the owner of
Shamrock II in the embarrassing posi
tion such a request might produce.
"Why the pleasure of Sir Thomas'
visit should be marred by calling: his
attention to a matter that ia unfortun
ate, is beyond my understanding? of
how real sport should be conducted,"
said Mr. Lawson.
Circumstantial evidence that Mr.
Lawson did not build the Independence
as a speculation has come to ligrht. Be
fore he placed the Contract he secured
from Gen. Charies J. Paine, a member
of the America's, cup committee, an
opinion that the boat would 'be eligible.
The Independence has cost Mr. Law
son more than $50.0ij0, and now that
sh is going1 to the Junk heap without
having had a better trial, the. opinion
is expressed that it will be a (rood many
years before another Boston cup de
fender is built.
YOST TO TAKE CHARGE.
The Old X. XT. Coach Will Train the
Michigan Football Team.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug-. 29. Coach K
H. Yost, who will head the University
of Michigan football system this fall,
will arrive in this city tomorrow, when
the plans for training of the eleven will
be started at once.
Yost has had remarkable success as
a developer of championship elevens at
Lafayette college. Ohio Wesleyan, Ne
braska, Kansas and Leland Stanford
universities. Local followers expect
him to regain for Michigan tha 'la-urels
lost in 1SD9 and 1900. "
Of the 1H00 team "Happy" Brown,
center, and Marks, guard, are the only
ones who are sure not to return, al
though Weber, the husky little half
back from the Austin high school, is
doubtful. ,
Captain White, " ex-Captain Snow,
Sweeley, Kelly. Shorts, Redden, -Weeks,
Redner and Shaw of the last year's
reg-ulars will be here besides Wilson
and Woodward, who were really en
titled to "At's" last sea-son. Of the bet
ter class of substitutes Monte brown,
Burns, Durant, Mechlin, Graver, Milo.
White and Steery are counted on, and
when to these are added the numerous
freshmen candidates expected it ap
pears that Yost will find an abundance
of material. While long on quantity
there seems to be some lack of qual
ity, so that every candidate that comes
will Jiave an excellent chance to make
the team. Enthusiasm is already
strong- and a good team is predicted by
all the local authorities.

Trying to Land Him.

Reported Shut Down of Argen
tine Smelter Deaied.
Plans Snbmitted For Complete
JLtemodellint; of Plant.
ORE IN THE CREVICES.
Overhauling Done to Get the
Precious Metal.
Items of Interest From All
. Over Sunflower State.
Argentine, Aug. 29 The fears of some
of the people of Argentine that the
shut-down of the smelter is to be per
manent seem to be groundless. It is
said on excellent authority that Walter
T. Page, manager of the plant, has sub
mitted to the directors of the smelter
trust, in New Y'ork, plans for a com
plete remodeling of the works at Ar
gentine. These plans were laid before the di
rectors several weeks ago and although
they have not yet been acted upon
there is strong reason for the belief that
the result will be favorable. The very
fact that the manager of the plant has
made the proposition and had the plans
prepared is taken as a straw indicating
a favorable wind.
Mr. Page does not say that the sus
pension of operations af Argentine ia
to be permanent. On the other hand
the general trend of his conversation
is that the smelter will be running
again sooner or later, although he does
not specify how soon'. He is at the
Coates house. He said that the general
cleaning up which is to-be made was
ordered several weeks ago by the di
rectors. Mr. Page, although not inclined to
discuss the situation in detail, corrob
orates the information given exclusive
ly in The Times several days ago to the
effect that there is to be a thorough
overhauling of the smelter. As has been
stated, the vitriol plant will be operated
again as soon a it has been renovated.
The copper department will probably
be the next to open, there being a good
demand for that metal.
Although hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent in making im
provements at the plant during the last
year, there is yet much to be done be
fore it is in proper condition and in
some departments the repairs will have
to amount almost to rebuilding. 1 he
plans for this work are what Mr. Page
has submitted to the directors.
Notwithstanding the needed repairs,
the smelter at Argentine is the best one
in the world, and those who are ac
quainted with the situation, as much
as any one not an officer of the trust
can be acquainted, do not credit the re
port that smoke will never pour from
the big chimneys again.
That precious ore in unknown
amounts is hidden away in the cracks
and crevices of the smelter is admitted
by those in charge. That is what
causes them to make the overhauling.
Every corner will be cleaned and, as
has been stated, the bricks of the fur
naces will be crushed in order that the
particles of silver and gold may be ex
tracted from Ihem.
This is a favorable time for the clean
ing up that is to be made, the ship
ments of ore to all of the smelters be
ing smaller than usual. It is consid
ered absolutely certain that as soon as
the shipments increase, v?hieh they are
almost sure to do within the next few
months, the smelter at Argentine will
be running full blast again.
Mr. Page is giving the renovating
work his personal attention and will
spend a good portion Of his time here
while it is being done. He has charge
of the Omaha smelter and oversees
other interests of the big trust through
out the west and southwest.
Employes are being notified every
day that their services will be needed
no longer. These notices of course cast
a gloom over Argentine, but they do not
sefm to be good cause for lasting sor
row. The prospects for reopening are
too good for that. Just when the di
rectors will act upon the proposition to
rebuild a portion of the plant is? not
known, but It is believed that the
smelter jvill not be idle longer than six
months, and that one or more of the
departments will be Operated during
the greater part of that time.
BAXTER REUNION-
Senator Burton Delivers the Princi
pal Address.
Baxter Springs. Kan., Aug. 2ft. The
Baxter reunion was formally turned over
to the visiting Veterans yesterday and
from now until Saturday night they
will remain in full possession. The first
roll call by states took place this after
noon. Illinois led, with 258 in line;Iowa
came second, with 211; Kansas third,
with US: Missouri fourth, With lll;Ohio
fifth, with 76. When one lonesome vet
eran stepped to the front when Missis
sippi was called the old soldiers gave
him three cheers.
Senator J. R. Burton delivered an
address this afternoon. He dropped In
with no speech prepared. "What shall
I sav " he asked, after being introduced
by Col. L C. Weldy. "Tell the truth,"
shouted an old veteran in the audience.
"All right." replied the senator, "but I
will refrain from talking about myself."
He then took truth as the theme, and
for an hour held the close attention of
the audience. It was one of the happiest
talks Burton ever made. He got off on
the right foot. He applied the text to
politics, and governmental affairs, and
said the reason the Union men won the
civil war was because they were on the
right side and fought for the truth. He
Incidentally remarked that the Republi
can party stood for a greater per cent
of truth than any other political party,
and for that reason it was kept in
power.
George W. Wheatley, of Galena, de
livered the principal address at the
camp fire last night,
The people continue to roll in from all
sections. Yesterday afternoon Governor
Stanley and the other state officers were
here. Four postmasters called on Sen
ator Burton here yesterday Peter
Foley of Parsons, Seth Wrells of Erie,
Sir Gould of Weir City, and C. R.Atchi
son of Columbus. Capt. W. J. Watson,
who is to be postmaster of Pittsburg,
and Judge Cheney, who wants to be
postmaster at Fort Hcott, were asked
here to confer with the senator.

A Kansas City paper says: Richard K.
Keith, who has been in England for a
month, will sail for the United States on
the steamer New England August 29. It
is expected that John Perry, who has
been in Europe more than a year, will re
turn with him. At least that Was Mr.
Perry's intention when he Was last heard
from, a few day ago.
Mr. Perry's trip to the Cnited States
will be more of a visit than anything
else. He has bought an estate in England
anil has settled there to live. Mr. IVrry
was born In England but is a citizen of
the I'nited States, and most of his invest
ments are stiil in this country. He is a
heavy stockholder in the Central Coal &
Coke company, but takes no part now in
the management of its business.
Mr. Perrv is a brother of W. C. Perry,
the Fort Scott man who was formerly
United States attorney of Kansas.
PLANTS SECOND CROP.
Winfield Gardener Will Try to Raise
Late Potatoes.
Winfield. Aug. 29. N. G. Davis, the well
known gardener, says it is not too late
yet to raise a, crop of potatoes, and he
planted a plat of ground to potatoes Mon
day. His decision to make this experiment
was the result uf an accidental discov
ery. The other day he left some par
lially rotted potatoes in a bucket and a
shower of rain covered them with water.
They remained in water about 24 hours
and he then threw them out under a tree
in the shade. In a day or two he noticed
that they were sprouting, some of them
having sprouts nearly an inch long. This
gave him the idea.
He selected small potatoes for the ex
periment, soaked them in a tub 24 hours
and then poured them on the ground in
the siiade and turned the tub over then:.
The next day he cut off the stem and
planted them. He has kept his ground
cultivated, thus retaining the moisture,
and it was in splendid shape. He says
with frost at the usual time he has no
doubt of making potatoes.
If Mr. Davis' theory is correct he could
have kept still and made it valuable, to
himself, but he is not built along these
lines, and is willing to give others the
benefit of what he learns. He says he
would like to see every farmer in Cowley
county raise a crop of late potatoes and
as the experiment can be made at little or
no cost it mignt oe well to try it.
CATTLE ALL RIGHT.
I Musgreal Says They Are in Good
Condition.
Siallna, Aug. 29. "The cattle of Kan
sas are in tine shape now," says I.
Musgreal, one of the cattle inspectors
of that state. The ranges and pas
tures are green, the grass is good and
there is plenty of fodder in sight. The
two diseases which are the most to be
feared among cattle, Texas fever and
the black leg, are decreasing. The fever
is kept out by rigid inspection, 'tne
black leg is a disease which affects only
calves and young animals. It is caused
by overfeeding. Ihe animals become
fatf and sluggish. The circulation of
their blood becomes poor and finally be
comes stagnant in the veins and blood
poisoning sets in. If you remove the
skin of the leg of an animal afflicted
with the disease you will find that the
flesh is almost black.

New Park For Parsons.
Parsons, Kas., Aug. 29. Another
park is to be built in this city, no doubt
at an early date. The present city park
is on one side of the city and the resi
dents on the other side to go to the park
have to walk a long distance to reach
it. The movement now is to build one
on the west side of Parsons so as to
afford those residents a place to recre
ate without having to walk such a dis
tance As soon as the new street rail
way is installed, it will connect both
parks. The new one is to have a lake
and other attractions necessary to a
nice park.

PAROLE DENOUNCED.
Got. Savage Asked to Recall
Tbat of Bartley.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 29. The Republi
can state convention nominated this
ticket:
Justice of Supreme Court S. Sedge
wick, of York.
P.egents of University Carl J. Ernest
of Lancaster; H. L Goold, of Keith.
The action of Governor Savage in pa
roling from the penitentiary Former
State Treasurer Jos. S. Bartley furnish
ed, as was expected, the only real ex
citement of the convention. An effort
to dispose of the question of an in
dorsement or disapproval of the gover
nor s action outside the convention sig
nally failed.
Supporters of the governor did sue
ceed in having all resolutions referred
to the committee ort platform without
debate, but the committee itself report
ed in turn against the parole, and.while
not impugning the motives of the gov
ernor, demanded the return of the ex-
treasurer to the penitentiary and was
nuMiauieu uy me convention.
The nominations were made without
friction, and then the platform was
read.
The plank on national issues says:
"We commend to the considerate
judgment of the people, the policies,
purposes and achievements of the na
tional administration; the re-establishment
of prosperity by a return to the
policy of protection to American indus
try; the repeal of laws which paralyzed
industry and the enactment of legis
lation which opened the mills to the la
bor of America and created an ever in
creasing market for our bounteous
crops: the steadfast adherence to a fin
ancial policy which has re-established
and augmented national, municipal and
individual credit at home and abroad
and reduced the rate of interest to the
lowest, point in our history; the incal
culable increase in the value of labor
and property throughout our country,
brought about by honest and intelligent
endeavor to give the people a stable
dollar and a chance to earn It; t'e
great reduction of debts by payment
thereof, which has changed the nation
from a debtor to a creditor and placed
our property on an enduring founda
tion, where it will continue so long on
allowed there to remain; the enormous
balance in our favor in our trade with
foreign nations, which makes us tne
treasury, as agriculture makes us the
granary of the world; the industrial
supremacy of America, which has re
suited from the operation of legislation
giving opportunity to American intelli
gence, skill and enterprise; the success
ful conditions of the war with Spain
brilliant and victorious, illuminating
the pages of history and adding new
glory to our flag. The suppression of
a wicked and unjustifiable conspiracy
and insurrection against the sovereign
ty of our nation in the Philippines and
establishing in that archipelago the
principles upon which the popular gov
enrmnnt and equality of rights depend;
the universally applauded outcome of
the far reaching international compli
cations in China, Which seriously men
aced the peace of the world, was the
position taken and maintained by the
T-nited States and adds new lustre to
the brilliant history of American diplo
macy. "The right of every man to enjoy the
fruit Of his labor should be insured by
every known safeguard. Its invasion
either by the Ijlacklist or by the boy
cott is contrary to the spirit of Ameri
can institutions. AVe recognize the right
of WHge workers to organize for mutual
protection and the promotion of mutual
interests, and we demand for them
most ample protection against coercion
in any form. But we draw the line at
vengeance and lawlessness, which must
be suppressed for the maintenance of
law and order and the preservation of
the liberties guaranteed to all.
"We favor the encouragement of ir
rigation under state and national legis
lation." On tha Hartley parole the platform
Says:
"The Republicans of Nebraska dis
claim for the party any sympathy with
custodians of public money found
guilty of the betrayal of secret trusts.
Without impunging the motives of the
governor in any way, we deprecate any
exercise of executive clemency tending
to create the false impression that the
Republican party is disposed to con
done the unlawful embezzlement of
public funds under any circumstance.
and we request the immediate call of
the parole granted to Jos. S. Bartley,
by the governor."
Before action was taken on the re
port, the privilege was asked and grant
ed Governor Savage to make a state
ment. He reminded the convention that
he alone was responsible, and that if he
had erred in his act of clemency to a
man convicted of embezzlement the
fault must rest with himself, and not
with the Republican party of the state.
Following the governor's statement, the
debate on the concluding paragraph of
the resolutions began in earnest and
for an hour furnished the only real ex
citement of the day.
The speeches were marked by much
bitterness and Governor Savage was
not spared. While his action was warm
ly defended by a number, who credited
him with only the best motives, the
convention placed the stamp of disap
proval on the parole, and by a vote of
99 to 1GS, adopted the platform as a
whole.
Will Not Quit the Qama.
Baltimore, Aug. 29. Manager Mr
Grew has denied the published deports
to the effect that he is to be perma
nently retired from active baseball on
account of his injured knee. He said
last night: "My knee is now in a plas
ter cast and the injury will keep me
out of the game for some time, but I
have no intention of retiring from
base ball. As soon as my condition will
allow I will be playing again." Hart,
the oriole first baseman, who was fined
by President Johnson for assaulting an
umpire, last night night stated that he
would not pay the tine imposed and
that he would leave the game rather
than submit to the ruling.
