Wiehita. Ivas., Sept. \M . — Definite ac-
tion has heen taken at a meeting' in
this city for a national organization for
the annihilation of anarchy. The con-
stitution adopted, first naming the
association and declaring its purpose to
cover the I'nited States, Article II
recites the obligation i«> he taken by
initiates as follows:

Shatter, president of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron. Steel ami Tin
Workers, to prove his statements made
recently against them. The letter is
directed to Mr. Shaffer, at Pittsburg.
It recites President Shatter's statement
as printed in the newspapers. The
letter contains this: •You will realize
the impossibility of our allowing your
charges and insinuations to g«> broad-
east and stand unanswered and un-
challenged. We have no desire to en-
ter into a controversy through the
newspapers, but, repeating that we
believe it to be necessary that your
charges and insinuations should be
substantiated or refuted, to that end
we submit a proposition to you that j and the same number

Second City in Norwao Burned.
Christiana, Sept. 20.—A large section
of Bergen is burned. Two firemen
were killed. The damage done amounts
to several million kroner.
Bergen is the second city of Norway
ml the principal sea port of the country.
The town is the capital of the Norwe-
gian province of its name, and is situa-
/cd about ISO miles northwest of < hris-
fiaiia. The population has increased
very rapidly during the last thirty-five
years and is now over 00,000.
Damage by Kaiii ami Frost.
Washington, I). C.. Sept 25.—The
weather bureau's weekly summary of
crop conditions says:
On the Pacific, coast the weather con-
ditions were favorable except in por-
tions of central California where rains
probably caused extensive damage to
grain, hay and grapes. Late corn has
been damaged to some extent by heavy
frosts in North Dakota and portions of
Nebraska. Kansas and Missouri and
Iowa.
A Million for a Church.
Chicago, Sept. 20.—George W. Bow-
man. a wealthy mine owner, has
agreed to give to the People's Church
• f America $1,000,000of the earnings of
his mines to further the work of the
church. It is said that "other millions"
will be forthcoming if needed. The
statement was made by Dr. Hiram W.
Thomas, founder and head of the Peo-
ple's church. Churhes will sometime
be opened in every city and a school is
planned.
Funatoirn lane Is Serious.
Manila. Sept 23.—Brigadier General
Funston's physicians have not yet de-
cided upon an operation to relieve him
Irom the suffering he is undergoing
from an attack of appendicitis. There
is little change in his condition and
friends are hoping he will survive the
attack without an operation.
Mis sickness is directly attributed to
the rigors of the campaign on the oc-
casion of his capture of Aguinaldo and
his subsequent movements against
bands of insurgents.
Ilonom to Mrs. Harris.
Kmporia, Kan.. Sept. 24.—Preston B.
Plumb Relief corps tendered Mrs. Belle
C. Harris a reception which was at-
tended not only by members of the re-
lief corps and comrades of the (Jrand
Army, but by citizens generally.
Mrs. Harris was elected national
senior vice president of the Woman's
Belief corps at the national convention
which met in Cleveland, Ohio, and
the reception was in compliment to the
high honor bestowed on a member of a
Kansas corps
the new Odd Fellows' hall.
The causes for the celebration are
the new bridge across the Arkansas
river east of Ponea City, the laying of
the corner stone for the new city hall
and the dedication of the Odd Fellows'
building.
There was a large delegation of odd
Fellows from Winfield on the south
bound train. The Win field team put
on the first and third degrees of the
Odd Fellows* work and the team from
the Arkansas City Kebekah lodge No.
300 put on the work of that order.
Not l aitII New Year's Day.

Cortelyou has announced that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not hold any
official functions at the White House
until the public reception on New
| Year's day. After that date they will
take place as formerly. Formal calls
of organizations and officials in a body
will be deferred until after thirty days

Must Resign For I'nlons.
Pittston, Pa., Sept. :.'4.—An order has
been issued by the Lehigh \ alley Coal
! Company instructing all firemen, engi-
neers. fire bosses, blacksmiths, carpen-
ters and driver bosses to pay up in full
their dues in the labor organizations
of which they are members and resign
at once. The order also says theii
withdrawal cards will be collected not
later than October 17. and any employe
not having one will be discharged.
Contract for 2,000,000 Watches
London. Sept. 24.—The London even-
ing papers, under the head "Anothei
American Invasion." reprint an article
from the Liverpool Post stating that
an American firm has agreed to deliver
2,000,000 watches in London during the
next twelve months. The American
firm outbid the Hermans and Swiss.
This is said to be the greatest order
of its kind ever given.
Present Statutes Give the Secret
Service no Authority to do this.
SEC. GAGE ASKS AUTHORITY.
Washington, Sept. 28. — In his an-
nual report to congress next December
Secretary Oage, of the treasury, will
recommend that an appropriation be
made of size sufficient to enable the
secret service bureau to employ men
for the suppression of anarchy, just as
detectives are now employed to run
down counterfeiters. The secretary, it
is understood, will ask for S"-. o,ooo
for the maintenance of the bureau, as
against $100,000 which was appropri
ated last year.
The present law under which the
secret service exists provides especially
for the suppression of counterfeiters,
the language of the last appropriation
act reading as follows: "For expenses
incurred in detecting, arresting and
delivering dealers and pretended deal-
ers in counterfeit money, and persons
engaged in counterfeiting treasury
notes, and other securities of the I ni-
ted States, and of foreign governments,
as well as the coin of the I'nited States
and of foreign governments, $100,000.
It will be seen that there is nothing in
this provision of the law which even
authorizes the detail of secret service
men as a personal guard for the presi-
dent of the I'nited States, or any other
public official. Whenever such detail
has been made, the suggestion has
come from the \N bite House.
The law does not contemplate the
running down of anarchists or the in-
vestigation of anarchist conspiracies,
and whatever work in that direction
now l eing clone by secret service men
is technically not in conformity to the
statute under which the bureau is
operated. It is for the purpose of ex-
tending the usefulness and authority
of the bureau that Secretary (Jage in-
tends to recommend a substantial in-
crease over last year's appropriation,
lie will urge that the law he framed
such a way that anarchy, conspiracy
against the life of the president, and
perhaps other high federal officials,
be put on the same basis as counter-
iting. so that the secret service may
mduct its investigationsiiisuch fields.
CONGRESS PAYS EXPENSES
.%• Was Done In the of Preside-nt
tiarlield
Washington. Sept. In the case
of President tiartteld congress apprn
priated in all $.*>7,000 for doctors and
funeral expenses, of this amount$3.* .-
.*>00 was for the payment of the physi-
cians and $22,000 for the funeral
expenses. The total expenses in the
case of President McKinley will proba-
bly be fully as great, for although th
bills of the physicians will not be su
large as they were in the ease of Oar
field, who lingered for more than two
months after he was shot, the expenses
of the funeral are expected to Is
larger. The principal item, as in the
ease of the Oartteld funeral, will be for
railway transportation. This will in
elude the special train which brought
the funeral party from Buffalo to
Washington, the special train of three
sections which caaried the party to
Canton, and the special train «>f five
sections back to Washington.
Congress not only paid President
Oarfield's funeral expenses, but also
made liberal provisions for Mrs. Oar
field. She was paid her husband's
salary for the remainder of the year,
was given a pension of $.*>,000 per year
for the remainder of her life, and was
given the franking privilege, by which
she can use the mails without the pay
nicut of postage. Mrs. McKinley will
certainly be treated with equal liber-
ality.
C'resceus Failed.
Philadelphia. Sept 2S. Crcsceus. the
king of trotters, failed to lower his re-
cord of 2:02'4. made at Columbus, Aug-
ust 2, in a trial on the Belmont Driving
Club course at Narbarth, a suburb of
this city. The great son of Robert Mc-
llregor, stepped the mile in 2:041 . with-
out a skip, and thereby reduced the
track record of 2:0S:1, made by A.lix on
November 7. ISO*. Kvcrything was
conducive to fine time. The track was
lightning fast ami there was not enough
breeze to interfere with the progress of
the great trotter.

A statistician has proved that the In-
vention of the typewriter hfti given em*

A Conductor Slugged.
Parsons, Sept. 23.—Conductor Scott
Walls, of the Missouri, Kansas^ Texas
was slugged in front of his residence at
about midnight. He was just reaching
home and had turned to go up the steps
when he was struck from behind. He
saw no one and thinks robbery was the
cause of the act. His money was
secreted and the robbers found none of
it. He lay insensible until 2 o'clock
when he was found. He is badly, al-
though not fatally hurt, but will soon
be out again.
l'resident llelng Informed.
Washington. Sept 26.—At the regular
cabinet meeting the time was. upon the
request of the president, given to the
work of the various departments. Sec-
retary Gage gave the president a clear
idea of the present condition of the
treasury. He explained his reasons for
purchasing bonds for *he sinking fund
and quoted figures to show that the
saving to the government by these pur-
chases would be large. The president
plainly indicated that lie believed
strongly in the reciprocity principle.
No More Interviews.
Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 24. Senator j
Hanna upon being asked how he re-
garde* I the policy of President Roose-
velt said:
I am done with being interviewed
for all time."
Have you decided not to again pub-
licly express your opinion?" was asked.
"No more," was the brief answer.
The senator is broken hearted by the
tragedy at Buffalo and his face shows
how deep grief has left its mark.

sas City olHees of Southern Kansas coal
mines, those supplying one-half the
soft coal this city uses, it is announced

People with chest complaints are
recommended by medical men to read
aloud, as this : trengthens throat, lungs
and chest muscles alike. The reading
should be deliberate, without being al-
lowed to drag, and the enunciation
clear, the body being held In an easy,
unstrained, upright position, so thai
the chest will have free play. Tha
breathing should be natural and as
deep a possible without undue effort.
To Honor Fm|>r«'sv Not Madman.
Some Austrians living in Geneva
conceived the project of placing a me-
morial tablet in the Quai du heman,
where the Empress Elizabeth was as<
sassinated. The authorities, however,
refused their permission on the ground
that it would be improper to commem-
orate the deed of a madman and help
to preserve his name. In place of the
tablet it is now proposed to erect a
chapel in honor of the empress.
Tile Bfnt They (•an I>®.
The French cannot "kick" a man.
The best they can do Is to give him
"a hit with the foot." A Portuguese
cannot "wink" at a girl. He must
lengthen it out into "closing ami
opening of the eyes." Most of the In-
dian languages are stated to have no
word to express the idea of "stealing."
nnd one of the early missionaries wild
translated the Bible into the Algon-
quin speech, finding they have no word
to express "love," was forced to In-
vent one.
An. Incomplete House.
We run wild over the furnishings of
a house; its furniture, carpets, hang-
ings, pictures and music, and always
forget or neglect the most important
requisite. Something there should ho
always on the shelf to provide against
sudden casualties or attacks of pain.
Such come like a thief in the night; a
sprain, strain, sudden backache, tooth-
ache or neuralgic attack. There Is
nothing easier to get than a bottle of
St. Jacob's Oil, and nothing surer to
cure quickly any form of pain. I ha
house is incomplete without it. Com-
plete It with a good supply.
l.arjjcst Cheese In World.
The largest cheese In tile world was
in the Pan-American exhibition. k

Sti Inches in diameter and was mad*
out of 5,500 quarts of milk.
Marketing Crop* K*pen*ive.
The report of the industrial commis-
sion on the distribution of farm prod-
ucts show that the cost of haullnf.
farm products over country roads Is
estimated at $900,000,000 a year, or
more than the entire cost of operating,
all the railways in the United States,
which is placed at $818,000,000. The
average haul to the nearest shipping
station is twelve miles, and the aver-
age cost is 25 cents per ton per mile,
or $1! per ton for the twelve miles.
Cnndy In Hot Weather.
"It is very difficult in hot weather to
please women who are confirmed candy
eaters," says a manufacturer. "With
chocolates and caramels, particularly,
we have to stand a pretty large pecuni-
ary loss when the thermometer ap-
proaches the 90 mark. Chocolates be-
gin to perspire badly then, and a very
short exposure gives them an actual
case of sunstroke. They have to be
made fresh every day in order to oa
tent out of the store at all."
A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY.
Washington, lnd., Sept. 23d.—There
( at present, living at 106 Ea.st 15th
street in this city, a most remarkable
man. He is Itev. C. H. Thompson, ant',

York, lnd., a short time ago.
Itev. Mr. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as a
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great < xposure end the
drinking of so much bad water brought
on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian
Territory, he was struck down while
preaching.
Physicians, one of them a Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hope-
less Dodd's Kidney Pills were recom-
mended, and as a last resort he tried
them. He was completely cured, and
restored to good health and his case
and its cure has caused a sensation
among the physicians
