Whm Application Hade by tha Ramlnf ta Faper Company, Which Ilaa Claim of About 00,00O Mr. McDonald Retire From the ' Management Had Been Losing 9500 a Week. Kansas Citt, Mo., Sept. 23. Wiley 0. Cox, the banker, was appointed re ceiver to-day of the Kansas City Times Newspaper company by Judge Slower, and took charge of its business at ll o'clock this forenoon. , The appoint ment was made on application of the Remington Paper company of Water town, N.'Y. llarkless, O'Grady fe Crysler, attor neys in this city for the Remington company, received a telegram from 0. S. and II. L. Hooker, the attorneys for the Remington company in New York, notifying them that a bill in chancery asking for the appointment of a re ceiver for the Times 'company had been mailed and instructing them to file it in the circuit court as soon as it reached Kansas City. The bill ar rived by the early mail from the East and at 9 o'clock VVittcn McDonald, manager of the Times, was asked to come to the office of llarkless, O'Grady & Crysler. He was handed the peti tion to read, but as it covered twenty pages of very close type-writing he de clined to wade through it and was content with Mr. O'Urady's explana tion that it asked for the appointment of a receiver because the paper was insolvent; was in debt about $(50,000 to his clients and getting deeper in debt dally, and that it the paper missea even one issue it would depreciate greatly the securing of the bond holders. Mr. McDonald said he had expected the application for a receiver, and yet he ! appeared to be surprised and pained. He and the attorney discussed several persons who might be ap pointed receiver, and at last it was agreed that Wiley O. Cox, president of the Kansas City State bank, be ap pointed. The decree authorized Mr. Cox to take immediate possession of the busl- ...the officers, directors and f the Times company, and all er8ons, were enjoined irom at- seizing, levying on or other- interfering with any of the prop- rty of the company or from interfer- ng with the receiver in his manage- l4 of the business. Will McDonald said: "I have simply this to say: The load entailed on the paper before I took charge of it was too heavy to be carried with the business situation what it is In Kansas City. That's all there is to it" Will McDonald, secretary of the company, said the paper had carried a UDdrj iwu jium uuuv i , iiii.i. iinu struggled hard to get out. There had I been a great improvement recently Sand he believed the paper would have come out on top if they had been given a lew more months. J Mr. (in wan Hskpd if he would ra- itain Mr. McDonald in charge. He re plied tuat he did not suppose Mr. Mc Donald would expect or wish to remain on the paper. Mr. Cox said the thing had come to him unexpectedly and he had not selected a managing editor or a man to act in any other capacity. Be said: "I will manage the paper for the best interests of the creditors. I am not a newspaper man, so I must And a man who is to be put in charge and a force of newspaper men to assist him." , "What will be the political policy of ' the paper?" was asked him. ' "I ant a Democrat and you will not find ma managing anything that is not Democratic to the backbone," was the reply of Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox said further that in his opin ion the success of the Times in early days was due largely to the fact that it was a straight out Democratic news paper, and the lack of success in later years might be due largely to the fact that it had swerved in the faith. It is understood that there will be a complete turning over in the working force of the paper, and that it will an nounce to-morrow morning that the paper is to be Democratic from stem to tern. The Times' plant, business, good will, etc., is estimated to be worth about $500,000. It has been running recently at a loss of about $500 a week. The receiver is instructed to pay out of the income of the paper first the salaries due employes and attorneys' fees and rents which had been earned within six months before he was ap pointed and which were unpaid; sec ond, he was to pay all the running ex penses and the balance, if there was any, was ordered to be deposited in bank subject to the order of the court. The receiver was authorized to issue such receiver's certificates as might be necessary to pay all outstanding claims and from time to time to issue such certificates, subject to the ap' proval of the court, if it was neces sary in operating the business: these certificates to be payable in one year from date and to bear 8 per cent inter est from date of issue. The first issue of the Kansas City Times was printed September 8, 18fl4 At first it was not a financial success and it went through different hands and many vicissitudes till 1871, when Dr. Morrison Mumford became editor and owner. It was carried safely through the geciral financial depres sion of 1873. In 1885 it ranked among the leading newspapers of the country. It was a great factor in the Oklahoma movement. . Dr. Mumford lost contrel of the paper through nn fortunate real estate investments which forced him to mortgage the plant and since then the paper hal steadily declined. Ex-Chief Justice Stuart of Oklahoma is said to have resigned in order to make the race for congress against usy ox xexar tachjrtg. If DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW. Wheat Advancd About Two Cent, and Dropped s Cent. New' York, Sept 23 . R. G. Dun & Cot's weekly review of trade says: In spite of gold exports wheat advanced for some diy.s, in all nearly two cents, mainly because a single speculator bought, but on Friday fell about one cent. Corn rose and fell in sympathy with wheat, with as little reason. Western wheat receipts for three weeks of September have been 18,791, 660 bushels against 16,491,C2S last year, while Atlantic exports (flour in cluded) have been 3,941,603 bushels against 7,021,980 last year. Good reports of foreign crops, weak ness of flour in Minnesota and large exports of flour from this country, all work against a rise in wheat, though scarcity of contract grades may help a speculative advance. Pork products have been reasonably yielding, with prospects of a large corn crop, but be fore the close had a stronger tone. The cotton market, lifting and falling a fraction each day alternately, shows no settled tendency, big stocks bal ancing an undoubted but yet not definite decrease in yield. The cotton mills, which laid in stocks of cotton below 6 cents, are en riched by the advance in material, and enabled to make frequent ad vances in goods, which are sustained. The present demand is dull, but there are no reports of stoppage, and the threatened strike at Fall Blver does not come. The woolen manufacturer is doing well in dress goods and hosiery, but the demand for men's woolens Is much restricted, and a few mills have closed. Sales of wool are smaller than last year, and for three weeks only 17,133,470 pounds, of which 7,718,370 were foreign, against 24,672, 400 pounds in 1893,. of which 7,614,000 were foreign. Prices of foreign wool are so low that purchases for export have been made. The failures this week have been 213 in the United States against 210 last year and 32 in Canada against 48 last year. CARRIED OLD GLORY. JEx-Confederates Clad In Gray Carry the Stars and Stripe. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 88. One of the leading features of yesterday's events was one that caused perhaps more comment, more enthusiasm, and which will make a lasting impression upon those who saw it, was a company of Confederate veterans attired in their tattered old uniforms of gray, carry ing the stars and stripes. They formed a part of the big parade, and as they passed through the miles and miles of streets they were tendered an ovation that would have honored an Emperor. Not one of those old war dogs was un der GO, and yet they walked with a firmness of step that would have done justice to West Point cadets. And one of them, the one next to the last color- bearer, carried an olive wreath, an emblem of peace and love. BASEBALL GAMES. Western League Standing. . Won.

German' Physician's Account of th Hoard of tha Saltan of Moroeeo. A French journalist has brought ur again the ancient story of the enormout treasure held by the sultan of Morocco The French ambassador to Morocco, brought back to Louis XIV. In 1685 th story that the sultan of that day, Muley Ismael, kept at Mequinez, the favorite residence of the sultan's, a treasure valued at $30,000,000. Chenier, anothei French ambassador, 100 years later re turned with the rumors of the treasure but It had shrunk in a century to about $2,500,000, which is supposed by some authorities to be about the ordinary annual revenue of the sultan. The legend of the treasure was still in sound health fifty years later, for Graeber di Hemso, a traveler, affirmed about 1834 that the sultan's hoard, called Bit-el-Mell, was kept at Mequinez under the guard of 2,000 negroes. It was believed to consist of 200,000 pieces of money, besides Ingots of gold and silver and precious stones. The treasure house, according to this traveler, was an in cisure of massive walls, which were exactly repeated within. In order to reach the treasure it was necessary to open five iron gates, secured with secret locks, of which the keys were in the Lands of the sultan or of his favorite. It was the custom In earlier times to kill the guards that accompanied new treasure lest the secrets of the treasure house be divulged. Others travelers have kept the story Alive and from the manner in which taxes are levied and public affairs ad ministered in Morocco it is generally believed that the sultan has great wealth laid up. The later story of the treasure comes from Dr. Rohlfs, a Ger man, at one time physician to the harem of the present sultan, Muley Hassan. Dr. Rohlfs declares that the treasure of the sultan is greater than ever. Some have represented that, for safety, the Imperial wealth is kept in several places, part of It at Fez, part in the oasis of Tafllet, and part of It at other points In the empire.- Dr. Rohlfa declares that the sultan's 10,000,000 German thalers, or about $7,500,000, are At Mequinez, in a somber edifice which the light of day never penetrates. The custom of killing the treasure-bearers is not kept up, and the guard Is not 2,000, but 300 negroes, who keep watch In a living tomb. Dr. Rohlfs has seen some of the sacks Inclosing part of the treasure. LOST FOR AGES. Discovery of a Burled City In Turkestan by a Party of Prussians. In Turkestan, on the right bank oi the Amou Dlara, in a chain of rocky hills, near the Bokharan town of Karki are a number of large caves which, upon examination, were found to lead to an underground city, built appar ently long before the Christian era. According to effigies, inscriptions and designs upon the gold and silver money unearthed from among the ruins the existence of the town dates back to some two centuries before the birth of Christ. The underground Bokharan city is about two versts long and is composed of an enormous labyrinth ot corridors, streets and squares, sur rounded by houses and other buildings two or three stories high. The edifices contain all kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns, vases and so forth. In some of the streets falls of earth and rock have obstructed the passages, but gen erally the visitor can walk about freely without lowering his head. ' The high degree of civilization attained by the inhabitants of the city is shown by the fact that they built in several stories, by the symmetry of the streets and square, and by he beauty of the clay and metal utensils and of the orna ments and coins. Removing Ground Glass Stoppers. The bothersome stopper will not com6 out It has become so fixed in the mouth of the bottle that no amount ol pulling or twisting will move it But here are some satisfactory methods ot removing It without all that Impatient tugging. The most effectual plan is to wrap a rag wet with very hot watei Around the neck, and let It remain a few seconds. The heat will expand the neck of the bottle, and before the heat pene trates to the stopper itself, It can be easily removed. Or, wind a string once r twice around the neck of the stopper, and holding the bottle between the knees, pull alternately one end and then the other end, thus creating friction, And consequently heat Or, a little camphene oil dropped between the neck and the stopper of the bottle will often loosen it so that it can be removed In a few minutes after applying It Thinks He Is an Engine. There is now in the county Jail at Ann Arbor, Mich., awaiting a vacancy In the Pontiac asylum, a young man who imagines he is a train of cars. He spends nearly all his time in imitat ing the noises attendant on starting up and stopping a rauroaa tram. Every sound and movement he produces with startling fidelity and detail. When the officer found him he was on the railroad track, and from his actions was Just getting up steam. Soon he said it was time to start ordered the fireman to fill the tank with water and the tender with coal, imitating every act perfectly. Then he pulled out the lever and started the train, running so fast that it was necessary to head him off with a horse. His whistle for "down breaks" can be heard a mile. He is about 17 years old.

The Great Apostle of Free Sliver Declare That Ho Gold-Bug Can Carry the State. In a recent interview ex-Conjrress-man Richard P. Bland, of Missouri, said: 'I do want to see the democratic party organized and free silver win the day. Nine out of ten people in the country want it, and they are not go ing to be backward about asking for it and getting what they want. There are enough free silver men in the state to handle it with ease, if the forces are organized and their work made ef fective. It must be organized or we will lose Missouri. We want men in position who are for free silver and who cannot be intimidated or over persuaded, but intend to demand what is right and stay there until they get it The democratic party is not going to vote for Wall street again," It has always been believed that the republican party was anything but a free silver party and, since the Penn sylvania republicans have held their state convention and adopted a plat form, there is no longer any doubt but that the republican party is for the gold standard. It follows, then, that Mr. Bland's statement is equivalent to an assertion that if the democratic party does not come out for free silver the populists will carry the state of Missouri. Some idea of the prospects as to the democratic party declaring for free silver may be derived from the following press report of the democratic state convention held in Nebraska on September 5 by what is known as the "sound money" wing of the Nebraska democracy. For instance, we are told: "When State Chairman Euclid Martin, of Omaha, called the second Nebraska democratic state convention to order 631 enthusiastic delegates greeted him with applause, encouraged by an en thusiastic crowd of visitors. It was considered quite significant in the light of recent developments that 631 out of a total representation of 634 delegates should be present when the convention was convened. Many of the pioneers of democracy of the state were present and contributed to the dignity of the occasion with their counsels. Every utterance in favor of a national currency in which gold was the basic principle was as vociferously cheered as the mention of free silver in the convention of the other wing of the party last month." Speaking of the free silver demo crats of Nebraska and the convention they recently held, Chairman Bibb said: "A few weeks since there was held in Omaha an alleged democratic state convention. It represented nothing more, 'nothing less, than the shadow of populism. They called themselves 16 to 1 democrats. Sixteen to one would be sixteen populists to one dem ocrat You never knew a democrat to go nosing around populist soup houses. You never knew a true democrat to crawl at the base of a populist lunch counter. This Omaha gathering was not democratic. They have gone astray, but like the prodigal son they will, come back." , And, following closely upon a sim ilar declaration made by the Ohio democracy, this platform was adopted by the democrats of Nebraska: We Indorse the national democratic platform ot 1893 and the Interpretation placed thereon by the president, and we declare ourselves un equivocally and unreservedly lor that metalllo money as the standard mintage, the bullion and mint value ot which are approximately the same; the purchasing power in which, regard less ot government mintage. Is the least fluctu ating in all the markets of the civilised world. We insist upon this policy as especially neces sary for the protection of the farmers, laborers and property-owning debtors, tne most ae fenseless victims of unstable money and fluctU' ating currency. Free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 means a poorer money and less of it; It means less wages for the laboring man and less actual money for the business man; it means Dan ruptcv for all save the mine owner. We recognize the issue and reissue of our treasury notes as a serious menace to the stability of our national finances, and we favor the retirement of all treasury notes at the soonest possible moment, with proper and safe euarantees for maintaining the necessary vol ume of currency, which shall be devised by a competent and non-partisan currenoy commis sion. Here you are, Mr. Bland. The regu lar democratic convention of the state of Nebraska declare for the gold stand ard and the retirement and destrue tion of the greenbacks. Cold comfort there. .

We haven't For some unaccountable reason tne Sound Money club has also overlooked it in making up its list of literature for gratuitous distribution. What do you suppose is the reason of this? Nearly every populist paper m tne country is offering it for sale or as a premium for subscribers. There's something strange about it A spirited correspondence recently appeared in the London Times on the subject of the alleged disastrous ef fects of gambling in wneat on agricul ture. Several letters charge that deal ers make fictitious contracts in Liver pool and teleeraph their prices to Chi cago, and that Chicago in turn tele graphs them back after tne Liverpool market has closed and that then these fictitious prices appear in the news papers of the next morning and fix the price which farmers are to receive for their grain. In a recent interview John Sher man, discussing the part he played in the demonetization of silver, said: "It was auite an undertaking when I agreed to shape legislation on this line in 1873. I can forgive the democrats now for what they said about me and what they were pleased to call my great crime. I have lived to see their leaders swallow their words, and to day there is not a stronger and more outspoken defender of my course than vou will find in President Cleveland's state papers and the speeches of his cabinet officers. It is hardly necessary for me to say a word. Of course it is gratifying to me." I never believed so much in a re publican form of government as I do to-day, for the single reason that any other style of government would have been consumed long ago. There has been swindles enacted in this nation within the last thirty years, enough to swamp three monarchies. The democratic party filled its cup of in iquity before it went out of power be fore the war. Then tno republican party came along and its opportunities through the contracts were greater, and so it filled its cup of iniquity a lit tle sooner; and there they lie to-day, the democratic party and the repub lican party, side by side; great loath some carcasses of iniquity, each on worse than the other.
