the Committee's Schedule.
Kansas City , Sept. 1. Speaking to
nn audience composed chiefly of workIng -
Ing men In this city , Colonel Theodore

chief planks of the Kansas state plat

by motor to the place where he spoke
and after a short address was rushed
back to his train and brought to the
union depot here.
I As the only point at which his train
'stops | in Missouri on his present trip
thousands of people from all parts of
Missouri and the southwest have Jour
neyed here to greet him. Every hotel
was jammed with visitors last night
and this morning hours before his spe
cial train was due to arrive , the sta
tion and the streets along which the
parade passed , were lined.
Just what the colonel will do this
afternoon Is difficult to determine.
His stop here Is to be between 12:15 :

had planned a complete program'
wherby , If everything went off per ( "
schedule , the ex-president would have ,
one hour , between 5:30 : and 6:30 : ,
o'clock , to himself. Every other min .
ute was taken up with speeches , re-1
ceptlons and motor rides. One of the
chief events on the program was to
be a ride of twenty-six miles by motor
over the city's boulevard system.

quest , a message was sent to the com
mercial club here asking the. members
to arrange for the ex-president to
visit the county fair at Independence ,
Mo. , twelve miles east of here and
also to grant him as much time to
rest as possible. Futile efforts were
made by commercial club members to
get Into communication with the ex-
president and then It was decided to
leave the matter to Hoosevelt upon
his arrival today , changing the pro
gram to suit his wishes.
Whatever happens , however , it is
known the following will take place.
The colonel will be given a lunch
eon at the Baltimore hotel at 1 o'clock
and he will make an Informal talk
there.
At 3:30 : o'clock he will address 1,600
pupils at the West port high school.

tender a dinner to the colonel nt 6
o'clock.
At 8 o'clock he will speak In con
vention hall.
From Kansas City Hoosevelt will go
via th.e Chicago , Bujllngton and
Qulncy railroad to Omaha.
Frock Coats and Silk Hats.
Every attempt Is being made to
make the visit of the ex-president as
Informal as possible. The city is dec
orated in American flags not bunt
ing , because the reception committee
frowned upon this as being "cheap. "
Guests invited to the luncheon have
been advised It will be necessary for
them to wear frock coats and silk
hats. The colonel will shake hands
with them as they enter the banquet
room. The rule of "first come , first
served will hold at convention hall.

Leads Rebellion Against Govern
ment Will Be Taken or Killed.
Manila , Sept. 1. An uprising
against the government is reported
in the province of Nueva Vlzcaya.
A constabulary force Is hurrying to
the scene and a battle Is expected
hourly. The rebel movement Is head-
"ed by Simon Mandoa , former pover-
nor of the province of Ilocos Norfe
.who has long been a fugitive from
Justice.
Mandac occupies Salaona , a town
of about 6,000 , Inhabitants northeast
of the center of Neuva Vlscaya and
about live miles north of Bayombong.
The telegraph wires north of Bayom
bong have been cut and It is impos
sible to learn the mit er of Mandac's
followers. It is doubted , however , that
the rising Is serious.
Colonel Taylor , at the head of the
constabulary at Bayombong , Is pre
paring for an attack and the constab
ulary forces from near points are
moving toward Salaono to surround
the outlaws and capture or kill them.
Government reinforcements are avail
able If needed.
Word of the trouble reached Manila
today. Mandac , while governor , sub
jected a prisoner to a "third degree"
examination of such severity that the
man died. The governoi\was convict
ed of homicide and sentenced to four
teen years' imprisonment.
He appealed from the verdict of the
court and while the appeal was pend
ing Jumped his bond and has been
missing for several months. Nueva
Vlxcaya is the central province of
Luzon and Bayombong Is Its capital.
A Surprise to Washington.
Washington , Sept. 1. The reported
disturbance In the province of Nueva
Vlzcaya comes as a surprise to the
officials of the bureau of insular af
fairs and the other offices ot the war

ed Washington of any general dis
content In this wild , sparsely settled
province and It Is believed here that
It was a surprise likewise to the of
ficials in the Philippines.

IS A TIME
,
FOR HARMONY
IT'S NO TIME FOR WAR WITHIN
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
SHERMAN GIVEN AN OVATION
The Vice President Says That He Is
Not Reading Anybody Out of the
Republican Party , But Would Turn
Sinners Back Into the Fold.
Enid , Okla. . Sept. 1. On the trip
from Guthrle to this city this morning
the car platform was utilized by Vice
President Sherman as a speaking
stage more than at any time during
his trip to the southwest.
The little town of Crescent turned
out a company of mothers with In
fants In arms and they saw Mr. Slier-
man with coat off and suspenders
down.
"These are twins , " said one young
woman , who held up two babies.
"Well , " responded Mr. Sherman , "In
twenty years they will be living In a
liner country than we have ever
known. If they are boys I'll bet a
thousand dollars they will vote the
republican ticket. "
The vice president was somewhat
hoarse from his efforts of last night ,
and former Congressman James E.
Watson of Indiana took up the talk ,
complimenting the woman and then
making a plea for the re-election of
Congressman Bird McGulro.
As the train was pulling out a man
In the crowd shouted :
"Wh'ero is the state capital going to
bo located ? "
"I don't think , " responded Mr. Sher
man , "that there Is any alliance be
tween Hnskell and God. You will
have to ask Haskell or heaven. "
Guthrle , Okla. , Sept. 1. "I am not
here to read any republican out of
the party. All are welcome and , like
the minister of the gospel ? I would
turn sinners from their erring ways
and take them back in the fold of
true republicanism. "
That was how close Vice President
Sherman came to the Insurgent ques
tion when he addressed a crowd In
Highland park , at the edge of the city.
It was the largest gathering that the
vice president has faced on his tour
of the southwest , and It responded
heartily to his enunciation of party
doctrines.
"This Is no time for quarrels In the
party , " declared Mr. Sherman. It Is
no time for a division of feeling on
this point or that. It Is the time for
republicans to stand shoulder to
shoulder In the fight against the com
mon enemy.
The day began for Mr. Sherman at
Chandler , fifty miles or so from Guth-
rie. A number of party workers
boarded the car and rode to Guthrle ,
where there was a meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the state com
mittee. Mr. Sherman rested in his
room until 4:30 : o'clock , when he held
a reception in the lobby of the hotel ,
shaking hands with several hundred
men , women and even children.
One babe In arms was kissed , and
that pleased the mother , and , appar
ently the baby , for it smiled.
The vice president today will make
an address In Enid and tomorrow in
El Reno. A demonstration in Okla
homa City on Saturday winds up the
tour.
SIBLEY ISSUES STATEMENT
Fearing He May Not Live to Testify ,
Wants Friends to Know Truth.
Franklin , Pa. , Sept. 1 , Expressing

500 election expense account. He

testify In court , he wants his friends
to know the truth.

ment of money to his private secre
tary owing to ill health , and not until
the day of filing his account was he
aware that he had spent more than
$20,000. But it will be shown , Mr.
Slbley declares , that every cent was

COOKING BORES HER SO.
American Wives Know Nothing of the
Art , Professor Barnard Says.
New York , Sept. 1. Prof. Charles
Barnard , specialist In household ccon-1
omy , and one of the foremost figures
at the household show , which Is being
held In Madison Square Garden this
week , hasn't a very high opinion of the
American housewife.
"The American housekeeper , com
pared with the housewives of France
and Germany , Is an unlettered child , "
declared Professor Barnard.
"The American man , because of his
wife's culinary Inefficiency , Is not so
well fed nor nourished as the Euro
pean making less than half his In
come.
"The American woman does not
know as much about cooking as the
Indian squaw.
"Cooking , though It Is a part of the
profession of wlfehood , does not In
terest her. She 'can't be bothered , '
she says. The mechanic's wife vies
with , the millionaire's wife In buying
only the most expensive cuts of meat ,
steal : , chops. Swings the unvarying
pendulum of the week's bill of fare.
"Now , only 24 percent of a beef ,
for Instance , can provide the.expen-
slve porterhouse steaks , Delmonlco ! ,
roasts , etc. j
"The other 76 percent is made up
of the cheaper cuts chuck , rump , '
round , shank , naV < jl , brisket , etc. I
"This meat if pr pm-ly cc > ked t'nt
is. rtlotvly oookc-il- ' . '
jo iiiu ; : .i 'jitiOaj
and has a better flavor than tender- ,
loin. But the poor man's wife won't
take the trouble to cook It. Her hus
band may say : 'We'll have to econo
mize. Let's buy a little cheaper meat. ' I
But when she gets to the butcher's
and sees another woman buying some
thing more expensive , she feels very
much ashamed of what she intended
to order , or else says to herself ,
'what's good enough for her is none
too good for me , ' and buys a porter
house steak Instead. I
"There's another type of woman
that would rather spend her husband's
money than her own time. She 'can't
be bothered cooking. ' But , " here Pro
fessor Barnard brightened up per
ceptibly " a solution has been found
even for her. It Is flreless cooking.
Have you ever tried it ?
"That's a trick the Indian squaw
has taught us , " Professor Barnard
continued. "There are fifteen or twen
ty different flreless cookers on the
market , so you see I'm not booming
anybody in talking about them. They
are already In pretty general use In
the west , but women here are much
more conservative and are slow In
taking up housekeeping improve
ments. " .
