He will be gone three months. mere win De no interruption in our "Talmage Sermons" on account of the doctor's absence, but the sermons to be printed will be more than usually inter esting on account of the historical and Biblical associations with which they will be surrounded in many cases. In place or the sermon which would ordinarily be delivered on Sunday, No vember 3d, we will furnish the doctor's farewell address, dated from the "City of on the eve of his departure.

The 1 almage sermons are a great treat. and the readers of i The Gazette, we know, from all quarters greatly enjoy them. IT IS KANSAS GRAIN. The Missouri City Maintains Control of The Kansas Shipments. There were 132 cars of grain received up to 13 ciock to-day.

All but hve cars were shipped ircm Kansas points and raised on Kansas' rich soil. Kansas City, Kansas, would have made some thing out of the shipments instead of Kansas City, if the elevators were only when' shipped east with the Missouri inspection brand on it people will wonder why the city on the Kansas side of the line don't get a move on it. HEAVY RECEIPTS. Police Judge Leland Takes in 93,394 Daring October. October was a heavy month in police court receipts.

There were 246 arrests which is hardly up to the average number. A larger per cent, of the fines im posed were paid in cash than usual. The fines imposed amounted to $4,001.50. The fines collected in cash reached the comfortable sum of $3,394. Cold Weather.

The Signal service says cold weather at the is coming. an overcoat "Famous" before it comes. Candidates Talking. The Republican candidates addressed an enthusiastic audience of Fifth ward citizens at Hilliker's hall last night. Everything looks Republican in the Fifth.

Almost Ready for the Jury. The concluding argument was being made in the trial of the damage suit of O. W. Pierce against the 'L" road when The Gazette went to press at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. The case has been on trial since yesterday at noon.

Free Lecture Mrs. A. M. Diaz, president of the Woman's Educational- and Industrial Union, or wiu deliver a free lecture at the Tabernacle on next Friday evening. This will be a rare op portunity for Kansas City people to hear one of Boston's most famous women Every seat should be taken.

A Pertinent Suggestion. If the smelting interest mainly made. Argentine the city that it is, the assump tion is fair that the new works building at Lovelace, three miles further west, but more favorably situated, will make a city of much the. same crass. If it does the half of that, Lovelace ought to be a pretty good place to get a foothold in at the be ginning.

Journal. Bnilding np Johnstown. Mr. and Mrs. Louis A.

Hoerle, brother- in-law and sister of James Snedden, ar rived last evening from Johnstown, for a few week's visit with Mr. Sned den's family. Mr. Hoerle and family of seven barely escaped with their lives at the time the flood. He says the rapidity with which the people are building up their homes is remark able, though there seems to be delay in apportioning and delivering the aid given to them and consequent dissatis faction among the people.

Her Pocket Heary Snow Storm In Nebraska Dr. Isaac Taylor, Founder of the Belleyue Hospital Dies at an Advanced Age A Prominent Toung Man Charged with Steal- lug Stamps. i Winnepeg, Oct. 31. Special Gil lette, the forger, who was sentenced to ten years' in the -Manitoba prison and was a co-prisoner of Burke, the Chicago suspect, was interviewed to-day.

He said that Burke almost incessantly talked about the Cronin murderer, and gave details of the crime to the prisoners. He said that Burke would frequently burst into tears. Although he never admitted that he killed CTonin, however, told Gillette of circumstances connected with the practical abduction of Dr. Cronin from his house, the doc tor, who was suspicious of O' Sullivan, being informed that a woman was in child-birth and required immediate atten tion. On entenng the Carlson cottage Cronin, was clubbed and the body put in to a trunk.

Burke did not inform Gillette who struck the blow. While in jail, on more than one occa sion, Burke expressed a willingness to give the whole thing away, and then, on reconsideration, he said that there were several men that he did not want to im plicate in the crime and he would not give their names away. WEDDING DECLARED OFF. Paris, Oct 31. Special.

The storm which has brewing for several weeks past between Prince Murat and Miss Caldwell finally burst on Friday last, when, at the meeting at Miss Cald well's hotel for the signing of the mar riage settlement, the notary announced that the bride only allowed her husband an income of $10,000 a year, with reversion after her death to her sister. When the prince heard the notary read the clause of the contract dealing with this matter, he exclaimed: "Surely, this is a joke. You cannot wish to treat your husband with such a public display of suspician." Miss Caldwell laughed and replied: "1 have managed my fortune all along with success, and want to continue doing so. The prince still refusing to believe that she was serious, Miss Caldwell remarked: "You have shown that you do not know how to manage money. The prince thereupon became very angry, exclaiming: "jiauame, am noi a beggar," and walked out of the room.

The same evening the wife of the prince's only son, who has all along opposed the marriage, not relishing the idea of there being another Princess Murat besides herself, offered the prince an as sured allowance of $10,000 if he would remain single. Since then the rupture has become com plete, and the abandonment of the match is officially announced. Miss Caldwell is about to return to America. The Want Supplied. A first-class music store is just opened at 745 Minnesota avenue.

The Northwestern's Freight Arrangement "With the Kansas Central Hurts. Tbe Sun Saya it is Retaliation for tbe Action of Chronic Idiots Who Ought to Have Died Young When the Gods Loved Them Bather Than to Raise Shoel Now. I lavenworth IS all broke Up because Of the arrangement entere'dinto between the ue by Northwestern and theJlf ansas Central which the former company will take freight from the Central at Holton and deliver it to this city instead of taking it from the Central at Leavenworth. The Leavenworth folks call it a pool, but it is not. The Northwestern has simply arranged with the Central to transfer its i.

tti i iicigui ivr una uny ai xiuxiuu luatcau uj. i at Leavenworth. The rate between this city and any point on the Kansas Central is just the same as when the trans ferring was done at Leavenworth, though the arrangement has some advantages in the matter of distance and time. There is one feature of the case, how ever, wnicn is amusing ana wmcn contains a moral as welL Every since the Northwestern tried to obtain an entrance into Leavenworth, especially with the rapid transit ling, they have been hindered at every turn by injunction and damage suits. 1 he rapid transit line has been in operation over a year, but a large number of suits are pending in the courts.

The matter is in such a shape that the company has decided to stand trial on the tret suit and if the company is defeated the track will be taken up and the road abandoned. The Leavenworth Sun in speaking of the relations existing between that city ana tne railway company says: The Kansas City, Wyandotte North western and the Kansas Central narrow guage, owned by the Union Pacific rail- pTOfiSfi: vk tf w-k a a ft A A 1 A I A AIM a A1 luasiuuuu as iuc aauaas vcuuai agicca to turn over all of its business to the Kansas City, Wyandotte Northwestern, at Holton, thus throwing the trade to Kanses City, which has heretofore come to Leavenworth. Kansas City, on account of high local rates, was before this pool combination occurred unable to compete for the businesss in the large territory tributary to this city and which naturally belongs to us. Ihe Kansas City. Wyandotte railroad certainly have to build their own fences, but when they build them in a way to interfere with the prosperity of a city which has done as much for the road as has Leavenworth, a protest should be made and the fences should be rebuilt.

These chronic old idiots, who have been filing damage suits against the Rapid Transit line, can partly assume the re sponsibility and odium of this road's pres ent action in discriminating against us, and just such citizens as they are had better have died young when the Gods loved them, than to have lived to buzz around until they are ojd, when by living they get themselves between the devil and the deep sea.

Old Stone Piers Discarded for Cylindrical Ones. Work Progressing Rapidly with Prospects of Completion In January A Work of Five Months in Building Two Spans Used Instead of One as in the Old Structure. The bridge being built for the water works company across the Kaw river will be completed some time in January. For two months the contractors, the Kansas City Bridge and Iron cempany, have been at work on the structure. The old bridge which was destroyed last May, during a freshet, by the washing away of one of the west piers was made of three spans.

The stone piers which supported the bridge on each side of the river will still be used for that purpose. Instead of two stone piers in the middle of the river, the new bridge will be built with one pier. It will be constructed of two steel cylinders, seven and one-half feet in diameter. The cylinders being sunken are sixty-eight feet from top to bottom and will be placed thirty-six feet unUer the surface of the water which is about thirteen feet deep at that place. One of the cylinders is in position and is being filled with concrete.

The other is almost down to the proper depth. When a Gazette reporter visited the place this morning, eight men were at work in the bottom of the sinking cylinder digging out rock so as to allow it to sink by its own weight The top of the cylinder is kept closed When completed the bridge will be 472 in length from the east pier to the stone fier on the west side of the river. The ength of the west span will be 186 feet and the east one will be 286 feet. The pipes for the conveyance of water across the bridge will be three feet in diameter. The cost of the new bridge will be considerable.

The force of men now at work costs the company $75 per day. The piers will be ready for the reception of the bridge in a short time. Almost the entire time was employed yesterday sawing off a piece of the old iron top cord which was sunk in the river when the bridge went down last May. The old pipes are under the sand in the bottom pf the river just north of the bridge location. A NEAT SUM.
