Government bonds are slightly below the Quotations made during the time that Secretary Gage was a buyer, bo far he has shown no inclination to take advantage of the decline.

An effort is to be made to move i large red oak tree from the wildest sec tion of Arkansas to Forest Park, St. Louis, without injuring it. The tree is 160 feet high and 12 feet in diameter at the base. A double tramway will be built from the tree to the river, where it will be floated and towed to St. Louis. It is estimated that this will occupy six months. Gen. Gillespie, chief of engineers in the government service, has filed his annual report along with which goes his recommendations in connection with erection of fortifications and improve ment of rivers and harbors. Many old time candidates for an appropriation appear in the list. One among these is the proposed harbor at San Pedro, Cal ifornia. Its promoters are unusually modest, or Gen. Gillespie was not in a very pliable frame of mind for the sum recommended for this giant among frauds is but 400.000. One of the professors of Cornell uni versity recently offered the startling proposition to kill off the weak in so ciety for the benefit of the strong. We would soon become a race of savages if it were not for the weak. It is the pres ence of the weak that develops all that Is best and noblest in human nature. To most people life would be worth little were it not for the opportunities afford ed of helping those in need of assistance. p"1 Perhaps the greatest pleasure ever ex perienced is the sense that one is be ing leaned upon and clung to by an ther weaker than one's self. THE SUCCESS OP ADVERTISING IFrom the Cleveland Leader. Long ago the prediction was often beard that a reaction, sweeping and effective, would soon set In against the bulk of newspapers made huge by ad vertising. It was asserted that the bus iness of giving publicity to business af fairs was being overdone. Efforts were made to show how much money mer chants might save if they all ceased to advertise, and when the trust-forming craze was at its height one of the ar guments used by promoters of great combinations was that they would be able to- do away with most, if not all, of the cost of advertising which had been done by the companies to be uni ted in greater corporations. Hardly a glance at the leading papers end magazines is required to show how utterly futile attempts to check the growth of advertising have been. Year by year, month by month, the business widens and strengthens. More money and ingenuity are lavished upon adver tising today than were ever before de voted to that phase of business. Even the great industrial trusts have not been able to do without it. This is simply the recognition of the general success of the advertising prin ciple.. Notwithstanding all the faults and follies which have been connected with advertising, in the United States and in other countries, the net result has been a vast and immeasurable wid ening of the wants of civilized mad and an equally enormous addition to the volume of trade, the employment of la bor, and the scope of great industries. It has been learned that publicity re garding whatever is new, or especially attractive and useful in the world of . business, actually creates commerce, and is one of the mainstays of Industry. Civilization grows and rises by increas lng wants. It is largely built up and supported by desire for better things, ftr the latest Improvements in all the comforts, conveniences, and appliances of life. Advertising spreads, multiplies, and quickens wants, and hence it Is a very important agency in keeping the jr heels of progress moving. It is folly to think that such a force-will ever cease to operate, while society is or ganized in its present form. Moreover, in the long run and in the broad sense, advertising furthers the success of merit. It tends to the sur vival of the fittest. It is the work fellow of enterprise, and enterprise goes hand in hand with improvement. The ablest producers, the most efficient dis tributers, are the natural advertising leaders. They have most reason to push their business and most ability to see the best and most effective ways of do ing so. The exceptions are hardly num erous enough to be considered serious- X lit.; UJ-streuiliXUit; eiiiu otuiiiu of the knaves and fools who have be smirched advertising, just as they med dle with every other great human in terest, have not stopped its growing successv It has been confirmed in its position as one of the most Important and significant phases of modern busi ness, by the widest possible tests of time and place. The wise and practical man of affairs does not try to oppose or stand aloof from such a mighty force. He devotes himself to the problem of getting the best results from advertising and mak ing it most attractive, lucid, and con vincing. The general judgment of the age is that nothing else equaU the per sistent, intelligent, and careful use of newspapers of the right sort. The proof is found in every city and thriving town of civilized lands. -i GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. It Is eaid love is blind. How about love at first sight? When anything's the matter with you, ever remark how many know what will cure it? A very good woman will occasionally add . few gallons in telling how much fruit'she has put up. A man went to the Door farm in Atchi son not so very long ago, who had raised and educated nine props for his declining years. An Atchison girl is preparing to make her debut in society, by learning how to smile pleasantly when she longs to make a face. "There goes one of the Gibson girls,' a man said today. "No." a woman re plied, "that is one of the Herkimer girls." She had never heard of Gibson! An Atchison woman has about the worst case of nerves ever. She held her baby in her arms recently, and its sud den crying startled her so that she let it drop. When we went to Buffalo, the bar bers charged us thirty cents for a shave. ve are even: the exposition will loose between three and four million dollars. When we were a chiiu, and coughed at night, our mother used to tell us to try to think of something else. IX) you suppose she was a Christian Scientist, and didn t know it? An Atchison man has heard of a new patent medicine, known as The Water of Life, and has ordered twenty-four bottles. He says it must be good, it is so high priced. This Water of Life con tains electricity, the label says, and five ounces of it will run a dynamo three hours. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. tFrom the Chicago News. The man who boasts of his knowledge is ignorant. No one who is in debt can boast of being independent. Wanted An elevator that will lift a man above criticism. Poverty with contentment is better than wealth without happiness. To the young man in love distance does not lend enchantment to the view. A man who is wedded to a matter- of-fact woman realizes that facts are stubborn things. You can safely gamble your last ten spot on the man who works as hard for others as he would for himself. Young man, if you have a sister, love and cherish her; if you haven't, then borrow some other fellow's sister. The man who marries for beauty only is like the buyer of cheap furniture the varnish that caught his eyes will not endure the fireside blaze. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Lots of sermons are not as broad as they are long. Are people who live In flats suscep tible to flattery? Truth is mighty. Sometimes It's mighty uncomfortable. Nell "Can you wear a No. 3 shoe?" Belle "Yes, if it comes to a pinch." No, Maude, dear; vaccination won't prevent people in prison from breaking out. Some people seem to think trade is so vulgar that they don't even pay their bills. The correct player may not be con ceited, but he certainly blows his own horn. Willie "Who was it made Rome howl?" Bobby "I guess it must a'been a dentist." The new woman, if you look close enough, will often be found to be an old woman. The contortionist is not the only fel low who is addicted to pattinsr himself on the back. Hoax "Poor Bjones is troubled with boils." Joax "People who have them generally are." Few women are so masculine as not to look around for some man's seat in a crowded street car. Hook "I hear you were quite taken with Molly." Nye "Well, we were pho tographed together." The fellow who dines on calves brains and ox tail soup shouldn't have any difficulty in making both ends meet. Blobs "I wouldn't play poker with a palmist." Slobbs "Why not?" Blobbs "He knows too much about other peo ple a nanas. "True greatness." savs the Mana- yunk Philosopher, "is based UDon the ability to make other people share the good opinion you have of yourself." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New . York Press. Women judge another's enrawmmt a good deal by the ring that goes with it. Babies are pearls in a chain of matri mony that otherwise might seem a chain of bondage. A man who can love more than one woman can't love any one of them more than if he didn't love any of them. When a woman wants to cut tho heart out of her best friend she says her hair seems much softer and finer than when she was younger. It takes an engaged couple a long time to say good night, but not half as long as it takes a woman and her eail&r t say good afternoon. IS ALL DOCTORED. Health Officials Say Preserva tive is Used by Milkmen "I believe that nearly every milk deal er in town puts some form of preserva tive into the milk which he sells," de clared one of the officials connected with the board of health today. "Either for maldehyde or salicylic acid is used. I am told that a teaspoonful of the pre servative is used for several gallons of milk." The examination of the milk which was taken out to the Kansas Medical college has not yet been completed. Pending the report of the bacteriologists who are mak ing the examination, the food inspector has been looking up the city ordinances on the subject, and is in some doubt as to whether or not the ordinances give him authority to proceed against milk dealers for using a preservative. "I understand," said Food Inspector Farnsworth, "that the substances used in milk as preservatives are not poisonous or injurious to health when taken in the small quantities which they would be taken in milk so treated. A case has re cently been tried in the New York courts, and it was held that the use of a milk preservative does not constitute adulter ation. 1 expect to find out exactly what is the matter with the milk which I have examined, and then will decide whether we nave any laws to fit the case." The "milk ordinance" now on the city ordinance books was passed in 1898. Some of the provisions of the ordiance are as follows: "No person, either as principal or em- )loye, shall sell, exchange or deliver, or lave in his possession with intent to sell, exchange or deliver in the city of Topeka any impure, unwholesome or adulterated milk ... or milk which contains any unhealthful ingredient or substance." The penalty for the violation of the or dinance is a fine of from $5 to $S0. MR. MULVANE TALKS. National Committeeman Reti cent About Politics. David W. Mulvane, Republican na tional committeeman from Kansas, has returned from the east where he par ticipated in the festivities at Yale, his old college, and incidentally called upon President Roosevelt at Washington. Mr. Mulvane is always courteous and always ready to talk but he would much rather talk of his Alma Mater than of the appointments or the influence of Senator J.. R. Burton with President Roosevelt. "The appointment of Mr. Simpson as revenue collector will soon be an nounced," said he, "and that is about the only appointment there will be un til the United States marshal is named in December." When he was reminded that Cyrus Leland had not yet been appointed pen sion agent he said: "I understand that it is the intention of President Roose velt to follow out the wishes of Presi dent McKinley when practicable and I have no information about the appoint ment of Mr. Leland. I suppose that un less there should be a good reason for not doing so President Roosevelt will carry out the intention of President Mc Kinley but I know nothing whatever about it. TWO REGIMENTS PICKED. Eleventh Cavalry and 28th Infantry to Go to Philippines. Washington, Oct. 31 .Gen. Miles has recommended that the Eleventh cavalry and the Twenty-eighth infantry be sent to the Philippines. Two regiments are all that the secretary desires to order to the Philippines at present. These reg iments are to take the place of regi ments in the Philippines to be brought home, which have been serving there three years or more and the terms of enlistment of the men about to expire. The order will not interfere with the department's plan for reducing the army in the Philippines. The regiments which are to be returned as soon as the troops are ready, are the Fourth, Sev enteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-second infantry, the regiments which have been longest in the islands. STILL BRANCHING OCT. Oakland Scholars Send Woods and Leaves to (Scotland. The scholars of Oakland school here who have adopted the system of interna tional correspondence and who have be gun a series of letters to the scholars of Sunnyside school at Alloa, Scotland, will send specimens of products In both the vegetable and mineral kingdoms that are peculiar to Kansas and not to the vicinity of Alloa, to be studied by their unknown correspondents, and will in return receive a batch of specimens from Scotland. The scolars at Oakland school have an other batch of letters nearly ready to send to Scotland. As the correspondence progresses the scholars are taking an in creased interest in it. "It helps them in their work," said Principal John Carter. "They take particular pains with their spelling, penmanship, and try their best to make their letters appear well to their unknown correspondents. I believe it will prove a wonderful factor in assisting in school work." Cabinet Crisis Threatened. Willemstadt, Island of Curacoa, Oct. 31. Advices received here today from Caracas, say that a cabinet crisis is ex pected there as a result of the wording of the answer of the president f Vene zuela to the resolution adopted by the Pan-American congress expressing the hope that Venezuela and Colombia would reach an equitable and rational agreement regarding their present diffi culty. The reply received bv Act ing President Baigoz at Mexico Wed nesday was sent against the wishes of the Venezuelan cabinet. Lockout Threatened. Cardiff, Wales, Oct- 31. At a mass meeting of the Merthyr-Tydvil collieries today the action of their representatives in agreeing to stop work last Friday and Saturday and threatening to stop on other days, in order to keep up the price of coal, and therefore of wages, under the sliding scale agreement, was confirmed and a resolution in support of the future action of the leaders was adopted. The situation is critical. The employers are strongly inclined to re sort to a general lockout. Santa fa Health Resorts' Excursion Rates. Phoenix. Arizona, and return. IS5.00. good for nine months.

Prof. Lorewell Returns From the Shale Fields. Makes a Favorable Report on Gage Process. WILL BUILD A MILL. Texas Capitalists Will Spend $10,000 at Once. Expert Talks About Success of Ills Researches. Prof. J. T. Lovewell, who has been in Ellis county for the past two weeks investigating the Gage gold mill, made a favorable report on the process, and a $10,000 mill to handle fifty tons of shale daily, is to be erceted at once la the Smoky Hill valley. R. T. Beatty, Judge M. S. Waller and A McMasters, secretary of the Gal veston chamber of commerce, are all in Topeka today, and will be here for a few days organizing a company. All three of these men own large interests in the Beaumont oil fields, and have unlimited capital to back their under taking. The plan is to organize a stock com pany, and issue shares of the stock to certain Topeka parties who own shale land, ine capitalists will retain a cer tain portion of the stock as an equival ent for the money which they will in vest in developing the field. The three capitalists who are Interesting them selves in the plan are all Topeka men It is proposed to buy a building which now stands on the banks of Smoky Hill river, known as "the old Miller mill." It was built some years ago by the backers of a man named Miller who tried to demonstrate that he had a process for extracting the gold from the shale. The old Miller mill will be equipped with a 60-horse power en gine, improved crushing machinery, and immense vats for handling the shale. It is understood that Prof. Gage, the lnventer of the cyanide process, is to receive a per cent of the profits. The mill will be equipped as quickly as pos sible, and it is thought that it will be running inside of 30 days. Prof. Lovewell returned today from Fills county, and was seen by a reporter for the State Journal. He said: "It is true that I have given it as my opinion that the Gage process is a success. But I do not certify that I se cured such large values as were obtain ed by Mr. Gage. My results averaged about is a ton in gold. I do not know how much silver we obtained. That has not been fully determined. I think that Mr. Beatty and others are satis fied that there is gold In the shale, and they propose to make a thorough test by means of good machinery and a large daily capacity. I do not know anything about the plans of the gentlemen who are expecting to build the mill." Prof. Lovewell was employed by Mr. Beatty to visit the Gage mill, and test the Gage process thoroughly. He has been engaged in this work for Mr. Beatty since October 17, though about half of this time has been wasted owing to a breakdown in one of the rollers used in the shale crushing machinery. A few days ago this roller was replaced, and the recent g'ood results which Mr. Lovewell reports have been secured since that time. Before the crusher broke down, Mr. Lovewell made several tests of the shale, and secured generally good re sults. Some assert that these values were placed in the shale by parties interest ed in the development of the gold fields. Whether or not this is the case is of course one of the mysteries of the whole proposition. There is great excitement over the gold situation among the people living in the vicinity of Smoky Hill mill, and crowds of men are coming into the lit tle embryotic "gold town." If the good results of the Gage mill are fully veri fied, the shale lands will be like a sec ond Cape Nome or Dawson City. Sev eral Topeka men who own shale lands are planning to go to Ellis county to- i MILLER FIGHTS FOR BAIL. 520 Per Cent Syndicate Man, Strenuous Efforts For 11 ' .. .... L 1 ' "" Wm.

Smoky Hill City was founded by Chales K Holliday, Fred Close and oth ers. It consists -of nothing but a few shanties and the Gage gold mill. The "town" is on the banks of the Smoky Hill river, 17 miles from Hays City. It is not on the railroad, and is reached by stage from Hays. A postoffice has been established at Smoky HilL.and let ters received from that town bear the Smoky Hill postmark. CLA STREET PAVING. Unexpected Opposition to That Along Central Park. Some opposition Is said to be develop ing to the proposed Clay street pave ment petition, which will be introduced at the council meeting next Monday ev ening. The petition, which is signed by all the resident property owners on the two blocks affected, calls for the pave ment of Clay between Thirteenth and Fifteenth to form the connection be tween the new pavement on Buchanan, Fifteenth and Twentieth and the pave ment to Washburn college. The opposition in the council is based on the fact that the pavement extends the full length of Central park, and the city will be obliged to stand half of the expense, which will be about $4,000. There is a sentiment in the council that Topeka should go slower in the pave ment business, over 30 per cent of the cost of all pavement has to be borne by the city at large. A petition is being prepared asking the council to authorize the mayor to sign the pavement petition on behalf of the city, which is considered as one of the resident property owners. SHE Ijp NOT DEAD. Department of State Is Convinced That Miss Stone Is Alive. Washington, Oct. 81. Referring to the opinion expressed yesterday in some of the Russian publications to the effect that Miss Stone is probably dead, it may be stated that the state department is convinced to the contrary and is sat isfied that with the means of communi cation it now has at its disposal, the event of Miss Stone's death certainly would be known to it. The department is in almost hourly communication with its agents in Turkey and Bulgaria. The latest advices received indicate that com munication has been established with the brigands themselves.
