Think City Should Lose Time in Closing Deal. So J. V. O'Neill, receiver for the To teka Water company, is interested in the formation of a company which has for its object the purchase of thejBave $15,000 a year on hydrant rentals water n'lint nrovided the councilmen in the city council succeed in defeating

city ownership. This is the company m which the Continental Creamery people, John K. aiulvane and other capitalists are saidi to be Interested to De mieresiea. 0,.,hi Mr. O'Neill refuses to say an thing about the scheme. W hen askea whether or not he was not trying to interest local capital in the proposi tion, he said: "Nothing at all has been done. There Is absolutely nothing to tell at the present time." "Haven't you talked to some To peka people about the plan?" was a "Oh, I may have mentioned it to a tew people. It has been stated that you were unable to secure promises or anj tinancial assistance the deal. Is; that a fact?" "You can't believe everythin hoar stated." said Mr. O'Neill. you At t O'X'eill knows what sort of a business proposition it is to operate 1 the Torieka waterworks. He realizes that it is the biggest money maker in the city, and naturally he is interested in getting control of the plant if the citv does not buy it. The extreme willingness of the pres ent owners of the water plant to con tinue In charge of the property is one of the things which makes it absurd for the obstructionists in the council to claim that the plant doesn't pay. President Charles F. Street himself lias offered to pay all the interest on the $620,000 in bonds, extend the water mains and reduce rates, provid ed the city will accept a $5,000 a year annual rental and allow him to con tinue to run the plant. Mr. Street Knows that the plant is mignty gooo. thing, and if he should make a deal with the city such as he has proposed. lie would clean up $20,000 every year tm the transaction. Return From Lincoln. Mc.yor Bergundthal and Council man William Green returned Wednes day from their trip to Lincoln, Neb., where they went to inspect the water works system, which is there con trolled by the city. They found that the plant was built ly the city in 1885 at a cost 01 4su. 060. and that the city was recently offered $1,169,100 for it, and refused it. The plant in Lincoln last year paid $11,000 interest charge, spent $9,500 In extensions and improvements and turned in $6,000 net revenue to the city treasury. In addition to that it furnished the city 615 fire hydrants free of charge, and charged the fol lowing schedule of rates: Less than 6,000 gallons per day, per 1.000 gallons 15 cents Over 6.000 gallons per day, per 1.000 gallons 13 cents Churches, colleges, schools and hospitals 10 cents Where bill equals $60 per annum 10 cents Where bill is between $20 and $60 per annum 13 cents In Topeka the meter rates are as follows, without any reductions for large bills: 2,000 to 5.000 gallons per day, per 1,000 gallons 30 cents 5.000 to 10.000 gallons per day 2 5 cents 10.000 to 20.000 gallons per day 20 cents Vpwards of 20,000 gallons per day 15 cents It is evident that the Lincoln rates are from one-half to two-thirds less than they are in Topeka. Besides that Lincoln has 615 fire hydrants and 60 miles of mains while Topeka has 315 lire hydrants and 42 miles of mains. The Lincoln plant is actually In ferior to the Topeka plant in pump ing capacity, and it is unable to give more than 100 pounds fire pressure, while in Topeka the pressure is from 110 to 120. The water mains in Lin coln are generally smaller than in To peka. The rest of the investigation has dimply confirmed Mayor Bergundthal and Councilman Green in their opin ion that the city should buy the plant at once. "The quicker we buy this plant the better," said the mayor today. "We don't want to take any chances on losing the opportunity to buy the plant. There ought to be no delay in taking possession. Every month the city delays it is losing money. Let us take possession and get some uf that $85,000.00 a year gross reve nue which the plant is making." Wm. Green expressed himself in a similar manner. He said: "We ob tained a great deal of valuable infor mation about the management of the city plant at Lincoln. The peopie showed us around and showed us their city, and their waterworks. I have come back more than ever of the opinion that if the Topeka city coun cil does not buy this plant for $620 -i00, it will miss a big bargain The thing to do is to buy before the chance gets away." Anonymous Attack. Thinly disguised as a communica tion from "the eight members of the city council who have declared them selves as being opposed to the pur chase of the plant," the Topeka Capi tal ths morning prints a lot of figures based on J. W. O'Neill's report in a vain effort to prove that if the city should own the plant it would be ruined financially. It is safe to say that about seven of the supposed eight members of the council never saw the communication and the one who fixed up and doc tored the thing into shape seemed to be afraid to stand for his work. He is quoted in the Capital s article aa be tas one of the councilmen. who op. posed the purchase." If these eight members are not conducting a star chamber campaign, which they say they are not, why are they afraid to De quoted After this nameless councilman has figured the thing- down to the lowest possible margin, after he has subtract ed the $14,500 a year, which he says the city would not have to pay for hydrant rental, he still finds that he has a. net profit on hand of $5,086.11, but he dis misses this lightly with the remark: "Even granting that you would have that $3:086.11 after the interest is paid, does that look like a good Investment for the city?" It most assuredly does. Five thou sand a year above the $27,500 interest and the $15,000 hydrant rental means a total net income of $47,500 a year. This is an earning of over per cent on $620,000. President Street told the coun cil that he thought the plant would earn at least 6H per cent, arid when he said this, Chas. J. Devlin remarked: "The city ought to buy the plant even if it will pay only 5 per cent on the in vestment." At the present time, with the present rapidly increasing earnings, it Is safe to say that the plant would pay closer to 10 per cent than it would to 6V&. isn t it worth while for the citv to and get a clear income of over $5,000 besides? The facts are being so woefully dis- torted by the "eight members of the cjty councn" in their efforts to prove their case that it is worth while to notice where their discrepancies occur. To find out what lhe plant misht have earned during the past six years d ,t ownership, they first take the item of 1159,000 which was actually sent back east as cash earnings. To this tr.ey add $32,372.64 as cash on hand: This is incorrect: "to be perfectly fair" the Journal will state that the caah on hand at the end of six years was only $27,303.54. They also add $39, 522.11 which they say the plant has paid in taxes. "To be perfectly fair" the State Journal must again suggest that a portion of this tax, which came into the city's own treasury, would be lost if the city should buy the plant. It would heln out the showing of the wa- 1 ter plant by J39.522.ll all right, but the city's general fund would suffer by per- haps $15,000. This Item should probably be fixed at about $25,000 "to be perfect ly fair." The item of $13,000 water rental judg ment against the city is entirely ig- nored, although at least $6,500 of this judgment accrued during the past six years. The item of $42,000 for "special disbursements" is also disputed. Jesse Shaw, manager of the water company, says: "This item includes expenses which do not come into the regular or necessary operating ex penses of the plant." Lawyers' fees. court costs, the donation of $500 to the flood fund. the regular annual donation of 100 sacks of flour to the poor. President Street's traveling ex penses when he comes out to inspect the plant, are all included in the amount. The city would not be liable for any of these things if it owned the plant. It should certainly be includ ed in the list of charges from which the city would be exempt. The State Journal has claimed that the salary of the receiver, whatever it is, should be added to the list. No one thinks that any receier would be necessary if the city owned the plant. Mr. O'Neill declines to state the amount of his salary, but it is known that the previous receiver got $3,600 a year. It is fair to assume that Mr. O'Neill gets about the same. Mr. O'Neill states that up to about 1902 his salary was charged to "special dis bursements." and after that to the "salary" account." Special disburse ments having all been eliminated, it would only be necessary to subtract the receiver's salary for the years 1902, 1903 and 1904, which would be, at the rate of $3,600 a year, a total of $10,800. The estimate, therefore, on what the plant might have earned during the past six years had it been under city ownership should be computed as fol lows: Cash remitted to Street $159,021.92 Cash on hand 27,303.54 Taxes 25,000.00 Special disbursemnts 41.917.95 Hydrant rental judgment.. 6,500.00 Receiver's salary 10,800.00 Total income per year which city would have received during the past six years $270,543.41 This is an average of $45,090.56 a year, which is 7 hi per cent on the In vestment of $620,000. Out of this $4 5,000 the city could pay the interest charge of $27,500 and have $17,500 left either to pay off hydrant rentals or something else. The $17,500 would be the net profit each year to the city. All this is figured, remember, on the assumption that the earning capacity of the plant is only $74,000 gross, whereas th year 1904 shows gross earnings of over $84,000. The city will never realize the real financial value of the waterworks plant until it actually takes possession of that property. It is the height of folly to try to prove that the plant "won't pay." Every sensible business man in Topeka knows it will pay, and pay big, and the extreme willingness of J. W. O'Neill and Charles F. Street to continue in possession under almost any kind of terms is the best proof of that fact. AIRSHIP IS LOST. No Word Regarding the Escaped Sky Boat Is Heard. St. Louis. Nov. 3. The Baldwin air ship which escaped last night while it was being towed back to the con course, has not been heard from. Captain Baldwin and Aeronaut Knabenshue arrived at the concourse early, expecting to learn that the craft had been found and were deeply dis appointed. There is nothing for us to do,, but wait until we hear of its discovery." said Captain Baldwin. "We can not start out on a search for it, as it may still be floating, a long distance away." FROM REAR PLATFORM. Judge Parker Will Slake Speeches in Connecticut. New York. Nov. 3. Judex Parker left for Connecticut this forenoon. He will deliver three formal speeches in Con necticut and it is expected that several piattorm speeches will be made as the train is scheduled to make several in termediary stops. Quite a crowdcoi lected at the station to see the presi dential candidate and his appearance was greeted with a cheer. CITY ISJ1G0&1ED. Port Arthur Is Now at Mercy of the Japanese. They Can Take It VYhenerer They Are Keady. MAT NOT SURRENDER. Russians May Retire to Tiger's Tail and Fight On. They Can't Hold Out Until Baltic Fleet Arrives. The fall of Port Arthur seems immi nent. Detailed reports of the opera tions against the position indicate that the prolonged attack is nearing its end and that the Japanese are now enter ing upon the last stage of the memora ble siege. For the first time the As sociated Press correspondent with Gen eral Nogi's army has been permitted to send dispatches direct from Port Arthur and these show that practically all the outlying defenses are in the hands of the Japanese who are sanguine of im mediate victory. The armies of Oyama and Kuropatkin still confront each oth er along the Shakhe river, inactive ex cept for skirmishes and artillery skirmishes. Chef 00. Nov. 3. 4:30 p. m. The cor respondent of the Associated Press here has received information, the reliabil ity of which is beyond question, that the Japanese now occupy positions which place the east side of the town at their mercy. The last assault has gained for them positions which insure their ability to enter the main east forts whenever they are ready. It is calculated by the Japanese that f the Russians do not surrender the latter will be capable of prolonging their final stand at Liaoti mountain and on the Tiger's Tail for a much' longer time, with the mere hope ot prolonging the struggle. Long before the second Pacific squadron arrives the Japanese flag will wave over the wrecked citadel. This will end Viceroy Alexieff's dream of an unconquerable city. The Japanese have not yet occupied the main forts and highest points of the east hills, but they occupy in over whelming numbers positions which will enable them to drive the Russians back whenever they desire. When the Japanese occupy the east Port Ridge, they will completely dom inate the other Russian forts with their artillery. Beginning of tlie did. Headquarters of the Third Jap anese Army in Front "of Port Arthur, Nov. 2, via Chefoo, Nov. 3. 2 p. m. Censored The Japanese are now in a position to commence the end of op erations. For the capture of east Port Ridge and the siege of Port Arthur proper they have completed placing 11 Inch howitzers. On the night of Oc tober 29, all the reserves advanced through a net work of trenches in front of east Port Ridge from South Keek wan to West Rihlung mountain, called by the Japanese Shochosan. The bom bardment began' at dawn October 30. Infantry attacks were planned at noon against the two Rihlung mountains, an entrenched hill between East Banjusan and East Keekwan mountain and the three Keekwan forts. Tremendous ex citement prevailed among the troops, who were convinced that success meant i the capture of East Port Ridge and the surrender of Port Arthur in time for the emperor's birthday celebration No vember 3. Reports From Dalny. Chefoo, Nov. 3. Noon Japanese ar riving from Dalny today report that the Japanese have captured Rihlung moun tain and Sungshu mountain which lies between the railroad and Rihlung mountain. They also report that the Japanese have captured East Keekwan mountain. Conservative Japanese, realizing the Intense desire of the Japanese for good news on the emperor's birthday, receive these reports with reserve. Regarding the capture of Rihlung and Sungshu mountains, the report is not considered improbable, but Japanese say that it is not intended to occupy East Keekwan mountain. In August the Japanese succeeded in entering East Keekwan fort, as was related In these dispatches at that time, but they were compelled to retire. Japanese officers here say that it is impossible to hold East Keek wan and therefore an attack in that position is presumably only a feint. Tlie Mikado's Birthday. Tokio, Nov. 3 1 P. 1ST. Upon the oc casion of his birthday, at luncheon to day the emperor addressing his guests, extended welcome to the foreign di plomatic corps and ministers of state, and said: "We regret that the time has not come to see peace restored in the far east in realization of our desires." He proposed the health of the sov ereigns and rulers represented at his court and expressed the wish that the bonds of friendship existing between their respective countries might be drawn closer. Celebrate on Small Scale. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3 12:59 P; M. There was little attempt today to cele brate except in a perfunctory way tlie tenth anniversary of the accession of Emperor Nicholas. The imperial fam ily attended a Te Deum at the Kasan cathedral and there were services in all the churches. Later the troops were paraded, the theaters gave free exhibi tions to the school children and there was music and other holiday displays in the parks, but on account of the war and the anxiety regarding the sit uation at Port Arthur, everything was on a small scale. Heavy Cannonading. Mukden. Nov. 3. There have been a number of skirmishes along the whole front during the last few days, but none of importance since the Japanese forced the crossing of the Shakhe river on the extreme Russian left. At daylight today there was heavy cannonading lasting an hour during a reconnaissance. Sheriff Lacas Returns. Sheriff Lucas has returned from Oklaho yma w'th Ijllie Caldwell, the negress. who forfeited her bond and was not here for trial in the district rourt on the charge of picking the pocket of A, G. Bagley. SEW TAX PAYING RECORD. Over ""S8.500 Realized in tlie First Two Days. The first day for the payment of taxes for 1904 to the county treasurer was Tuesday and since then a new tax pay ing record has been established. Tuesday the total paid in taxes was $3,500 and Wednesday the total pay ment was over $5,000. These payments on the first and the second days are larger than for any other first and sec ond days of the tax paying time on rec ord. Another feature of the payment of taxes is that Wednesday out of 80 payments all but two were for the full tax and only two for the half tax. That so many pay the full tax as soon as due and thereby receive a rebate of two and one half per cent for the full payment means that times are good. County Treasurer Bowen advises that tax payers do not telephone to the treasurer's office to ask the amount of taxes as the giving of figures over the telephone- is unsatisfactory and mis takes are apt to be made and further that the office is often crowded with tax payers and the clerks do not have time to answer the telephone calls. If you can't go to the treasurer's office to find out the amount of the tax use a postal card. HOLIDAY IN JAPAN. Tlie Emperor Rides Out and Reviews the Troops. Tokio, Nov. 3. Noon Japan is en joying a holiday today in honor of the emperor's birthday. Ordinarily the people idolize their sovereign but the war seems to have increased their af fection. The celebration was observed throughout the empire. The cities were decorated and patriotic exercises were held. At Tokio the emperor re viewed the fleet and the imperial guards division and gave a luncheon at the palace for the higher officials and foreign diplomats. The military review was held at Oyama field, where the troops began arriving early this morning. The emperor drove through the city in a handsome red state coach. Leav ing the palace shortly after 8 o'clock he reached the field at 9 and alighting from his carriage mounted a black charger. He was accompanied by a numerous staff, which included the crown prince and Lieutenant General Sir William Nicholson, director gen eral of military intelligence of .the British war office, attache to the Jap anese army during the war. The em peror rode around the field. Onlv a small portion of the troops' assembled marched past,, the remainder holding their positions in an irregular square. The troops which marched past in cluded three regiments of infantry, 60 field guns and a regiment of cavalry, totaling 8,000 troops. They wore the field uniform and carried a. full kit. including intrenching tools, presenting an impressive appearance in the bright sunsrune. mousands ot the populace walked around the field. After the re view the crowd broke into the field and gave the emperor and crown prince an ovation. x JURY'S VERDICT. In tlie Investigation of the North Sea Incident. Hull .Nov. 3. "That George Henry Smith and William Leggett were at about 12:30 a. m. on October 22, while out fishing with trawlers aboard the British steamer Trawler Crane, with board of trade marks exhibited and regulation lights burning killed byshots fired without warning or provocation from certain Russian war vessels at a distance of about a quarter of a mile." This is the text of the Jury's verdict at the coroner's inquest on the fishermen victims of the North sea tragedy. At the request of the British government represented by the Earl of Dysart, so licitor of the treasury, this conservative award was rendered by the first court of inquiry preceding the sessions of the international tribunal. The government asked the jury not to find a verdict of wilful murder or manslaughter, because delicate negotiations are going on which should' not be made more difficult and they ought not to let any one think they had prejudiced the case before having heard both sides. Inconsequence the jury simply set forth the facts proved by the evidence of physicians, experts Am explosives and the trawlers themselves. To the verdict the judge added the following rider: "On this occasion, probably the most momentous In the annals of the British empire the jury would record apprecia tion of the efforts made by the gov ernment interested to arrive at a satis factory conclusion of the matter, which we feel has no parallel In the history of the world." DATTO IS WHIPPED. Asks Chance to Make Terms General Wood. With Manila, Nov. 3. The Datto All, the rebellious Morro leader, who on the pretext of resistance to the anti slavery law, has been waging warfare with the American troops has sent a message to Major General Wood re questing an interview with a view to surrender. General Wood has granted the request. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. Conference With Kansas Representa tives at Denver, November 10. A conference of the American Sunday School Union, Rocky Mountain district, comprising, Kansas, Colorado, Wyom ing, New Mexico, Utah and Idaho, is announced for Denver, Colo., from November 10 to 14. by W. L. DeGroff, superintendent of the district, who has his headquarters in Topeka. An excep tionally interesting program has been prepared upon which will appear many prominent ministers. Since March 1 the missionaries of this district have planted 110 new Sunday schools and induced 380 teachers and 3,177 scholars to become members of these schools. They also reorganized 28 schools with 96 teachers and 900 scholars, and aided 120 other schools, which have a membership of 738 teach ers and 9.748 scholars. They addressed 828 meetings, made 9,938 visits to fam ilies and distributed 549 Bibles and Testaments. Altogether they traveled 4,606 miles. POLITICMJOSSIP Kansas Educators Are Opposing Mr. Dayhoff. State Superintendent Mot Satis factory to Teachers. THEY LAUGH AT HIM. Association Refused to Pass Commendatory Resolutions. Also Regarded as Special Friend of the Book Trust. There is a strong .influence in Kan sas at work against the re-election of I. L. Dayhoff as state superintendent of public instruction, and it is an influence that is entirely independent of politics. It is the influence of the educators and public school teachers. It is doubtful if a man ever occupied the position Mr. Dayhoff does who was so little regarded by the school teachers as is Dayhoff. He is regarded as so in competent that the state teachers' as sociation last winter refused to pass the usual resolution endorsing his work. The committee on resolutions refused to let It even come before the associa tion. For many years it has been the cus tom of the state association to pass a resolution of this kind. The state superintendent Is the head, of the edu cational system of Kansas and is gen erally supposed to be a man of high in tegrity and ability as an educator. Mr. Dayhoff falls so far short of the popular standard for this office that the major ity of the school teachers and educators of the state hold him in derision. For that reason he was not endorsed by the teachers last winter. Following such a man as Frank Nel son in office Mr. Dayhoff was really at a disadvantage by comparison, because Nelson is a man of force, of ideas, and of the highest integrity. His adminis tration as the head of the public school system of the state was characterized by his work in improving the efficiency of the country school the one that needs it more than any other. Superin tendent Nelson gave a tremendous im petus to the matter of rural school con solidation in the interest of better schools for lower taxes. Vhen Day hoff became superintendent nothing more was heard of the ideas for school improvement that Nelson had set on foot, although it ought not to have been difficult for him to keep up the good work Nelson started. Nelson's administration will go down in the school history of Kansas as char acterized for its efforts to improve the rural schools. Dayhoff's administration will go down in history as characterized for its general incompetence and the efforts of the superintendent to use his office for his personal gain. About the time he went into office Dayhoff started a school publication at Hutchinson which he designed to take the place of John MacDonald's Western School Journal. Much of his time has been spent in building up that publica tion and getting school teachers to sub scribe for it. During the first nine months of this year he made twenty eight trips to Hutchinson at the ex pense of the state, taking the money out of the traveling fund given him by the legislature for the purpose of visit ing the schools of the different coun ties of the state. His discharge of Miss Nellie Tutcher a year ago, after she had been stenog rapher in the otnee during Superin tendent Nelson's administration, lost Mr. Dayhoff many friends in the state house who knew the circumstances. Miss Tutcher was recognized as a very efficient stenographer and was thor oughly familiar with the work of the superintendent's office, but she evi dently did not agree with some of Mr. Dayhoff's peculiar ideas. At the time her brother was murdered Miss Tutch er was away from the office for a few days at the time of his funeral. When she went back to work she was in formed that her services were no longer needed, and that a school teacher from Hutchinson, Mr. Day hoff's home, had been appointed in her place. Dayhoff was roundly de nounced in the state house for this action. Miss Tutcher was given em ployment by C. H. Lullng in the in surance department and when the World's fair commission got ready for work she became its stenographer. These things and Dayhoff's connec tion with the Comanche county bond deal and other bond transactions which do not look exactly creditable, are aside from his ability as an edu cator, but they show the manner in which Mr. Dayhoff has been running his office. His conduct as an educator and the head of the public school sys tem is another -matter, and that is what has turned the teachers of the state against him. He is generally recognized as being extremely favor able to the American Book company, the book trust, in awarding contracts for books in the public schools. An other matter in which he collided with the county superintendents of the state occurred at the meeting of the State Teachers" association last winter. It was over the course of study to be used in the public schools. Dayhoff had arranged with a firm at Fremont. Neb., for the adoption of a course of study published by that firm, but it was not adapted to Kansas schools in many particulars, and the county su perintendents balked on it. The result was that a committee was appointed to revise it and get up a new course. The result of these things is that many of the school teachers of the state are working against the re-election of Dayhoff, independent of poli tics, simply because of his inefficiency in educational work and his petty grafts in connection with his office. Emporia, Kas., Nov. 3. Judge Dale, Democratic nominee for governor, spoke here Tuesday at the only Dem ocratic rally held in Lyon county this campaign. He said that if he were governor he would bring action against the state treasurer inside of twenty-four hours, and if the attor ney general, Mr. Coleman, would not prosecute Kelly, he would employ a lawyer who would. Dr. Lawrence, the Democratic candidate for congressman from the Fourth district, admitted that Mr. Roosevelt would carry Kansas easily.. Lawrence and Mr. Dolan, can didate for state treasurer, spoke last night. LOOKS LIKE STORMS. But the Weather Man Says Nothing About Them. The forecaster thinks that the Kan sas Indian summer will continue and although the indications today are more foreboding of storms than they have been for days, the prognostica tor says nothing of storms. Today's forecast for Kansas is, "Fair tonight and Friday." The wind at noon was west, blowing four miles an hour. The hourly temperatures re corded by the government thermome ter today were: 7 o'clock 39 1 11 o'clock 54 8 o'clock 40)12 o'clock 60 9 o'clock 45 1 o'clock 62 10 o'clock 50 2 o'clock 65 Wind four, miles from the west at 2 p. m. CANADA VOTES. Fate of the Grand Trunk Pacific Is iu the Balance. St. Johns. N. B., Nov. 3. Electors of Canada are deciding today whether the government of Sir Wilfred Laurier will be continued in office and whether the Grand Trunk Pacific company will be nermitted to construct a trans continental railway, largely supported by the federal treasury. The cam paign has been an active one and al though the indications at times have pointed to the return of the Liberal government by a reduced majority in the house of commons, a number of confusing elements has made the out come uncertain. The Liberal majority in the late parliament was 54. This majority, however, was re duced to 48 at the close of the last ses sion of the commons by the resigna tion of several members appointed to office and through the less of a seat in a by-election in St. John. The leading issue in the campaign has been the Grand Trunk Pacific project. The Conservative party, led by Robert L. Borden of Halifax, maintains that ocean freight traffic over the proposed road during the months that the ht. Lawrence river is closed to navigation will be shipped to Portland, Me., and Boston instead of this city and Halifax. Portland is the Atlantic ter minus of the Grand Trunk railroad whose directors are the promotors of the Grand Trunk enterprise. The Liberal party is depending for success largely on the prosperous con dition of the country. It also relies on strong support in Quebec province. where out of 60 members of the last parliament from that district, nearly 60 are supporters of Premier Laurier. The Conservatives have been claiming they would elect 20 or 26 members in Quebec today and it is believed that success or failure of their efforts in that province will decide the result at large. JAPANESE CELEBRATE. Birthday of Mikado Commemorated at the World's I'air. St. Louis, Nov. 3. On the occasion of JaJpan day at the exposition the following cablegram was sent to Kat sura, minister of the interior: "The entire colony of Japanese sub jects here in St. Louis, assembled to day in the Japanese pavilion, respect fully congratulate his majesty, the em peror of Japan, on his fifty-third birth day. SEIICHI TEGIMA, "Representing the Japanese in St. Louis." Opening the celebration more than 400 Japanese, including residents oE St. Louis and those connected with the ex position, gathered in the national gar dens, and there observed the Mikado's birthday. There were speecnes aim songs in Japanese, tea was served, and there was dancing. S. Tegima, who was the principal speaker said in part: "Owing to the progress and prosperity of our country under the ruling of his majesty, our emperor, we have reason to applaud the virtue of his highness on this, his 53rd birthday. "To fulfill our obligations as his sub jects is to answer the call of duty, whether it be on the field of battle or in furthering the advancement of the empire in a commercial or industrial way. While our brothers are nobly and willingly sacrificing their lives for the cause of the emperor, fate has decreed that we, here in this foreign land, illus trate to the world the progress of Japan and at the same time acquire for our selves the very best which western civilization has to offer. By so doing. we are expressing our appreciation ot our emperor's grace. "That we are ably surrounded by the influences of peace and far from the tumult of war, to celebrate this eventful day, is a gift which we high ly prize. We join our voices in the prayer to God that the empeor's reign may be limitless, both as to time and prosperity." Following a luncheon served in the imperial gardens, the Japanese com mission entertained at a garden party 100 guests, most of them members of World's fair state and foreign com missioners.

Fire works, or fire flowers, as the Japan ese call them, were liberally displayed. HUGHES HAS PROMISED. Councilman, Initiated Into Elks, Brought to Time on Waterworks. Gen. John White Frlerson Steven son Falls Nell Hughes, commander of the Kansas National Guard and secre tary of the chicken show, has flopped. He is pledged to vote for the immedi ate purchase of the waterworks plant by the city. Hughes was initiated into the Elks last night. This is not said to shock his "law and order" legions, but for the purpose of explaining how it hap pened that the general flopped. When it was about time for him to undergo the initiation ceremony, his courage began to fail, and he opened up nego tiations for exemption. "If you'lll promise to vote for the city ownership of the waterworks plant," said some of the Elks, "we will let you off." Hughes solemnly promised that he would change his vote on this im portant question, and was admitted to the Elks without the usual prelimi nary ordeal. W father indication. Chicago, Nov. 3.

HE GAVE ORAL OPINION This Indicates That II Has Looked It Up. Then Why Is He Delaying tbe Document? Why does it take Attorney General Coleman so long to write his opinion concerning the maintenance fund for the governor's residence, which Gover nor Bailey asked of him three weeks ago? Last Monday Chairman Sapp. of the Democratic state committee, asked Mr. Coleman for an opinion regarding a, question of voting. Mr. Colemaa re plied with a written opinion immed iately the same day. Yet Mr. Cole man has taken more than three weeks to give a. written opinion on a question submitted to him by Governor Bailey, and that, too, after he has already passed on the question twice orally. After the legislature made the appro priation of $2,000 a year for maintaining the executive residence, instead of $1,000 as it was during the Stanley adminis tration, Governor Bailey asked Attor ney General Coleman regarding its use before he drew any of it. The addi tional appropriation was made because Governor Stanley had said that it cost a thousand dollars a year more than the governor's salary amounted to to live In the executive residence. Stanley said he went out of the governor's office $4,000 poorer than he went in. The next governor will receive a salary of $5,000 a year instead of $3,000. but this could not be made to apply"To Bailey, so his maintenance fund was increased $1,000. Before drawing on this fund, how ever, Governor Bailey asked Attorney General Coleman for an opinion as to Its use for his living expenses in the gubernatorial residence, although that was what it was intended for. Mr. Coleman said it was perfectly legal In using the fund in that way. Thereupon Governor Bailey filed a voucher with the state auditor, but before it was allowed Assistant Auditor Nation ask ed Mr. Coleman as to its legality and Coleman told Nation the same as he had told Governor Bailey. This is the fund that T. T. Kelly and his defenders are attacking Governor Bailey about, attempting to make out that Bailey has been using money Illeg ally. If Bailey has used any money illegally It has been only upon the ad vice of Attorney General Coleman 10 both him and Assistant Auditor Nation. Governor Bailey took every precaution possible to assure himself that his ac tion was legal. If it was wrong the re sponsibility rests upon Attorney Gen eral Coleman. When T. T. Kelly accused Governor Bailey of wrongfully using this main tenance fund a few weeks ago. Gover nor Bailey immediately asked Mr. Coleman for a written opinion on the subject. Now more than three weeks have passed and Mr. Coleman has not replied to the governor's request, al fhough it Is a state matter concerning which the governor wished a speedy opinion and Mr. Coleman had al ready passed on it twice orally. Now W. F. Sapp, who is not a state official and for whom the attorney general is not, of course, obliged to write opinions unless he wishes to do so, asks for an opinion and receives it the same day he makes the request. It is evident that Mr. Coleman does not propose to give Governor Bailey the opinion he has asked before elec tion. He has not the courage, evi dently, to oppose T. T. Kelly to the extent of standing by the oral opinion he gave Bailey and Nation, and he Is also evidently lacking the manhood to make a statement acknowledging that he gave both of these officials the oral opinion he says he did. Some of Kelly's defenders have intimated ill a mild sort of way that there is some mistake about Coleman's having given such an opinion, but both Governor Bailey and Mr. Nation assert that he did. It was on the strength of that that Governor Bailey filed his account as he did, and on the strength of the opinion which Mr. Nation received that the account was audited and al lowed. Two items which Governor Bailey's traducers are making considerable fuss about are a florist's bill for roses and a caterer's bill for service. The dates of these bills show that they came soon after the visit of President Roosevelt to Topeka last year. PANAMA'S FOURTH. President Roosevelt Sends Telegram of Congratulation.

October i 1 there were 96 rigs and drilling wells; j on November 1 there are 13 4. i While the complete figures of runs! for the month of October are not yet obtainable, it is believed they exceeded! any other month in the history of the field. The average production of the wells drilled in October was 21 barre ls. as against 20.5 barrels in September. It is believed the Kansas and Indian. Territory fields are now capable of actuallv producing 30.000 barrels a day, if all wells were pumping regu larly and all the oil being taken. SVnVEV TO CII.VXUTK.. Kansas Southern, Employs a Perma nrat Eiisiuccr. Chan-ate, Kan., Nov. 3. F. V. Crouch was in Kansas City and while there employed W. II. Sialnaker as permanent engineer for the Kansas Southern Electric railroad. Mr. Crouch Kiid Mr. Stalan-aker would be gin surveying the lirie from Chanute to Humboldt at once, "were It not for the fact that he must be in St. Louis this week to give testimony in the case of the Io!a Kleetric railroad against G. W- Baumhoff. which is to come up in the federal court at Fort Scott on November 12. As it is. the work will not begin till after the elec tion, but Mr. Crouch says it will be pushed then. Mr. Crouch said that while in Kan sas City he had a conference with Justin D. Bowersock of Kansas City, Kan., receiver of the Kansas City Olathe Electric railroad company. The latter would like to sell its property to the Kansas Southern. The company owns about i 12.000 worth of rails be tween Olathe and Kansas City. Its! right of way, however, is only twenty tlve feet, while the Kansas Southern wants a seventy-five foot right of way. Mr. Crouch said, however, that it was possible some arrangement might be perfected for the purchase of the holdings of the road. A I-dUe Out or Alfalfa. Frank Rising, South Tenth street, brought in a sample of alfalfa to the Union office which he cut yesterday, October 31, from his lots in the city.

At least 5 persons were injured during a clash between students of the Massachusetts insti tute of technology and police reserves shortly after midnight. Of the number 20 were students. Most of the injuries consisted of scalp wounds and body bruises.- Four students and four offi cers were so seriously injured as to ne cessitate their removal, to hospitals. Others were treated at nearby drug stores and private residences. Those sent to hospitals were: Students Herbert G. Spear.Frederick Backman, Victor Gebnor, H. C. Hig gins. Policemen B. R. Olds. William. A. Donahue. F. G. Rich. C. B. Kelly. Other students who required medical attention were William Blakeman, Frank Stevens. Richard Marshall, K. W.- Richards, Charles K. Allen, F. M. Butkner, Edward Griffin, John Kv Barkmin, John M. McMillin. Many others whose wounds were dressed on the spot left for their homes without giving their names. The trouble occurred on the steps of Rogers' hall, one of the technolgy buildings on Boyleston street, where the students had gathered following the joint parade last night of Republi can clubs of Harvard university and the institute of technology. The police had determined to keep the students from the steps of the building and when the college men made a rush up the steps they were met by the officers with drawn clubs, and a free fight en sued. The officers used their club3 freely and Boon many of the college men were bleeding from wounds on the face and head. Hundreds of students hurried to the support of their fellows, and the police in turn summoned as sistance with the result that 150 po licemen were engaged with four times a smany students. It was half an hour before the police were masters of the situation. President Henry J. BrMthett of the institute of technology was on the scene soon after the fight started and assisted in caring for the injured. While withholding judgment in the case. President Pritchett expressed his opinion that police had acted some what hastily. Another Witness for Nan Patterson. New York. Nov. 3.

In open re bellion against a new military rule requiring them to march into the class room for lectures on war tactics the students of the state university par ticipated in the -most sensational scene in the history of the institution. When Professor Wm. A. Setcheil at tempted to quell the disturbance the students jeered his remarks and threw clods at him. It is expected that the students will be summarily dismissed from college. The trouble was start ed among the cadets a few days ago when Captain J. T.. Nance, U. S. A., the new- commander, arrived to as sume charge of the military depart ment. Captain Nance no sooner en tered the class room "than the stu dents acted in ,a boisterous manner. Finally Nance declared they would have to be disciplined arid issued an order that the collegians would have to march intor the military lecture hall. No sooner had the- edict been sent forth than the collegians talked rebellion. A strike Was decided, upon. Instead of marching in regular or der nearly one thousand students ap peared on the scene with a small boy dressed in military uniform and wear ing a placard bearing the name of the commandant. Professor Setcheil tried to quell the disturbance but his remarks were jeered and a shower of clods was slung, tit him. Order was finally restored and the students marched into the lialU- TWELVE INJURED. Street Car Carrying? Oanipaign Clubs Is AVrecked. NorthAndover, Mass., Nov. 3.

PERMANENCE OF CURE The Older Merit. -'t Many so called pile remedies will afford the user slight temporary relief, and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women es pecially, after having tried eyery: pre paration recommended for the cure of Piles, have come to the conclusion, that there is no cure except by an operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread, because of the tdiock to the deiicate nervous system of .women, and many of those afflicted have re signed themselves to the situation with never a thought that there is any help in sight for them. We invite the attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose address is given below. "I feel it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles. I am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, 156 Whitman St., Cleveland. Ohio." Ten months later she writes "I am glad to say that I am still perfectly fres from Piles, and have not had the slightest trouble since I first used your remedy. I am well known in Cleve land and have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure extensively here. I take pleasure in doing so as it saved me from an operation, which I always dreaded, and you are assured the remedy can have no firmer advocate than I." Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical, that Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures, but cures to stay cured. It is in the form of a supposi tory; can be applied in the privacy of the home, directly to the parts affect ed, and does its work quickly and painlessly. Druggists sell this famous remedy for fifty cents a package, and we urge all sufferers to buy a package now and give it a trial to-night. Accept no Substitutes. Write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, for their little book on the cause and cure of piles, which is sent free for the asking. SPORTINGNEWS. Gani Is Sow Out of the Llght TreiRht Class ForTr. Colored Man Cannot Make 133 Pounds and He Strong. t n TO RELINQUISH TITLE. Jimmy to Become Holder of This Title Hereafter. The Foul Blow Cost the Cal ifornia Lad Just $5,552. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 3. The pu gilistic star of Joe Cans as the world's premier lightweight has set. This is the consensus of opinion among the sporting men who witnessed the battle in Mechanics' pavilion. That Jimmy Brltt is destined to become the 133 pound title holder is not doubted by one fight follower out of a hundred. Up to the time that he entered the ring, Gans declared emphatically that he would be strong at the weight heagreed to meet Britt, but his performance against the Californian, which was piti able in the extreme for a champion.' did not substantiate his assertions. Gans today reluctantly admitted this. "Although I believed that 1 had a good chance to win, even when Britt had me on the floor," said Gans, "the weight was a little too low for me. I might have been stronger if I had train ed more systematically, but I won and that's all there is to it." Britt emerged unscathed from the rather one sided buttle.- After greeting his friends his first declaration was that he wanted another light with Gans at the earliest possible time. T think the contest proved that I am Gans' superior without a shadow of doubt," said James Edward. "Had- I not become a bit excited at a critical moment. I would have been the cham pion today. On the strength of my showing against Gans public opinion will compel hint to give me another chance." Realizing his inability to scale in at the lightweight limit and be strong, Gans, according to a report that was freely circulated in pugilistic circles to day, will relinquish his title to Britt. It is a well known fact among Gans' friends here that he wishes to enter the welter-weight ranks, but is being re strained by Manager Herford. His last battle, however, will probably convince Herford that the colored boy has out grown the lightweight class. Herford refused to say whether Gans would give Britt another fight. It cost Jimmy Britt just $5,552 to strike Joe Gans those foul blows when he had the fight won. The total gate receipts were $31,728. Of this amount the fighters received 70 per cent or $22. 209.60. As Gans received 50 per cent of this amount he drew, down $11,104.80. Britt's eye to business enabled him to force an agreement of SO per cent in the event that he- lost.. He drew down as much- as Gans, $11,104.80. As Britt. was to have received io per cent of the fighters' share of the gate receipts in the. event of victory for him, it can be seen that he tossed off $d.- 552.40 by handing those' foul punches to the dusky man from Baltimore. Young Corbett. who was an interest ed spectator at trie fight, says Gans several times went down without being struck. He said: "I would have beaten Britt if he had only come up to me as he did Gans. I could not get him near me. I am con fident that I can defeat him at 130 at 6 o'clock and will not fight him on any other terms. I would like a chance at Gans at 133." It became known today that Gans had only bet $100 on himself. Herford cleaned up $2,000. James Ray of De troit was probably the heaviest winner. ROASTED THE BADGERS. Coach Curtis Endeavors to Arouse Old Wisconsin Spirit. Madison. Wis., "Nov. 3. The Wis consin football squad has resumed practice for the three games still on the schedule. The Badgers will meet Beloit here Saturday, Minnesota at Minneapolis Nov. 12, and Chicago in Chicago Thanksgiving day. The old Wisconsin spirit is once more assert ing itself, and 'instead of being dis couraged by the crushing defeat re ceived from Michigan Saturday, the Badgers are determined to win all the remaining games. All but three of the regulars re ported for practice, which was light, consisting of going through formations and catching punts. The trio that did not take part in the work-out was Findlay, Stromquist, and Clark, who are on the hospital list, though none of them is hurt, seriously. After -dinner Head Coach Curtis gave the men-an hour's talk in which he stated that none of the men except Vanderboom played the game they were capable of Saturday. He told the players that .they loafed, tackled too high, and on defense put up a very poor game. HII.DEBRAND HEADS LIST. Besti of Jockeys Who Rode in the East This Season. New York; Nov. 3.

Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 3. Michi gan has begun preparation for Chi cago. The practice was so snappy that Trainer Fitzpatrick, who was re sponsible for the men's superb condi tion at Wisconsin, said: "I was amazed at the speed Michigan showed in sig nal practice. The boys worked so heartily that we let them go after half an hour of hard work." There were several reasons for the unexpected turn-out. Michigan has but two more weeks in the football season, and it Is possible to put the eleven into final season form without incurring the risk of staleness which might be if Michigan had a Thanks giving "game ahead. Here this early close of Michigan's season is expected to prove a decided advantage over Chi cago.

Quad. On the day that he was forty-five years old Moses Jackson went to the nearest village to buy him a hoe. His wife had asked him to drop into the office of the Gazette and bring home a bundle of old papers for the pantry sehles. He found the editor alone and the paper about to suspend for the want of patronage. The editor noted the farmer's wrinkled face, bent back and discouraged look, and after some general talk, said: "Look here, Moses, you are an old fool and I am ditto. You are grub bing your life out for a mere living, and I am dead broke because the peo ple here don't appreciate brains. Let's go into partnership." They sat and talked for an hour, and the result was an article in the next week's Gazette that created talk all over the county, and within a week had been copied all over the state. There was a spring on the Jackson farm which hardly any one but the owner knew of. and it was announced that the waters of this spring were a sure cure for all kinds of skin dis eases. The editor gave half a dozen false names and told a dozen lies in the article, but people with skin diseases did not stop to question his veracity. The paper had been off the press only a day when they began to drive up to the Jackson farm. They wanted that water in bottles, jugs, kegs and barrels, and the old farmer was on hand to sell it at so much per gallon. Inside of a month he was shipping spring water to points 400 miles away. While he was busy at the spring his wife was busy at the ho.use. Scores and scores of people were willing to pay fifty cents for a dinner, and. be fore the rush was over scores and scores of others paid fifty cents apiece for the privilege of sleeping on clean straw in the barn. The analysis of the spring water pricked the bubble at last, and people ceased to come or send in orders. Moses went down to see the editor and figure with him. As they figured they chuckled. When theyhad reached the end of it, the editor said: "Moses, our firm has taken in $2,000 in cash. Figure out the expense and we divide $1,6 00. You still have your farm left, and I may tell you that the Gazette has put on 250 new subscrib ers and has entered upon a boom with a big u. Go home and hoe corn and say nothing. In about two weeks our trap will be ready again." "Look Here, Moses, You are an Old Fool and I am Ditto." In the course of a fortnight the neighbors of Moses Jackson noticed a strange woman about his house, but before they had time to ask question the Gazette came out with a two col umn article and explained all. The strange' woman was Mother Clark, the great locater of mines by means of the hazel rod. She happened to be passing through the district, and to her surprise her hazel rod kept pointing to the Jackson farm. She had felt it heY duty to stop and tell Mosses tHat "great wealth lay beneath the surface. It might be coal or it might be gold, but it was there for sure. Again there was a rush to the Jack son farm. There were scores of diners again at 50 cents a piece, and this time there were sleepers for the barn al most by the hundred. People wanted to prospect for that wealth; they wanted privileges; they wanted options; they wanted to go shares and work things most any old way for mutual pr'fit. and the farm was torn up for the space of two months before the last digger got discouraged and quit. Then Moses went down to make a business call on the editor, and the editor said to him: "We haven't done quite as well as I hoped for, but there is no kick coming to us. We sold three options at $3,000 each, and with the profits on meals and lodgers the figures run to about $10, 000." "And I guess I'll sell out and move Into town," said Moses. "Not just yet. The power of the press, combined with the innocence and humility of a hayseed, it mighty. We have had two good things, but others are to follow. Return to your farm and continue to saw wood and say noth ing." No coal was found on the Jackson farm no coal, no iron, no gold or sil ver nothing but a little better quality of rock than appeared on the Eurface. The Gazette editorially observed that nothing was infallible, and that even a witchhazel rod had been known to have the jim-jams after a long spell of wet weather. The next week it stated that there was every reason to believe that the rod point ed to oil instead of minerals, and that it hoped soon to chronicle a great discovery. The discovery was made in time for the next issue, and it was a corker. Oil had been found in such quantities that no one could doubt the existence of a big lake of it under the Jackson farm. A rush was sure to come, and the country was going to boom as never before. There would be at least two more railroads, scores of fac tories, and a village might be laid out on the farm and called Jacksonville. The pa per hinted that Moses was getting more than his share of the good things of earth but at the same in.e was helping his fel lowmen to do better. There were some who doubted that oil had been found, out their ooubts vanished as they reached the farm. There was the well, the bucket and the smell. Those who descended into the well came up covered with grease and convinced that petroleum was a big thing. That the coal men had failed was no reason why the oil men should not succeed. A dozen specu lators wented options before the first week was over, and every neighboring farmer who would sell or lease found a. customer at his door. Leases and options were taken on the Jackson farm to the last acre, and when the papers had been made out and the money passed over th editor ofthe Gazette exppressed his read iness to figure again with Moses. "The firm of Moses, Jackson Co. will now divide up the sum of 122,000," he said, as he laid down his pencil. "We might have got more by hanging out, but we are no hogs. The man who knows when he has got a. good thiag is the man who suc ceeds. Incidentally, I will add that I have had to hire a girl to book subscriptions, and I must now issue a double edition to provide for advertisers. Moses, you ought to have about $11,000 ready for the bank." "A little more than that," replied Moses, In the good old days the sexton announc ed a death in the community by a stroke on the church bell for every year of the lite that w gone. People expected, then, to live to old age, and speculation at the first tap ot the bell took a narrow range including only those who bad lived the al lotted time.

BUT FEW VIOLATIONS. Vulj a Few Instances of Giring Passen to Large Shippers. Gossip aud Hatters of Interest In Kail road Circles. The executive committee of the gen eral anti-pass agreement of the west ern roads held a conference in Chicago Wednesday and instructed Cfiairman Mahoney to call a meeting of the exec utive officers of all the roads in the west for November 15, either at Chi cago or St. Louis, for the purpose of adopting a new agreement for 1905. The agreement for the present year has been fairly well maintained, main ly owing to its liberal provisions, which allow the railroads considerable leeway in the issuing of annual passes. It is believed that the old agreement with a few minor changes will be reaffirmed. The main restrictions in the present agreement are that no passes of any kind shall be issued to shippers or merchants on account of traffic, and that exchange passes should not be is sued to officers of industrial or small private lines. No violations of the lat ter provision have been reported, but In a number of instances passes were issued surreptitiously to shippers and merchants, but there was not bo much of this as in previous years. The issuance of free or reduced transportation to influence shipments i3 prohibited by the interstate com merce law, but the railroads careless for this than they do for a general agreement. REBATE QUESTION AGAIN. Western Railroads Talk of Putting Stop to Dividing Rates. Chicago. Nov. 3. To stop the prac tice of giving "industrial" roads a per centage of through rates was the ob ject of a meeting yesterday of the executive officers of western railroads. The interstate commerce commis sion some tome ago held an investiga tion here, establishing the fact that the International Harvester company end several other corporations own some switching tracks from their own plants to one or more recognized rail roads, and instead of having to pay for the switching of their cars the cor porations get practically a rebate on their freight shipments in the form of a percentage of the through rates. Rig Roads Responsible. While some of the big roads wanted to stop the practice, it was shown be fore the interstate commerce commis sion that certain big railroads were really responsible forthe formation of the so-called industrial roads, having sold and leased to the industrial cor porations their switches and trackage rights over portions of their road. At yesterday's meeting the principal attack was made on the Illinois North ern road, really the switching tracks of the various plants of the Interna tional Harvester company, and on the Klgin, Joliet Eastern and the Chi cago, Lake Shore Eastern roads, both of which are owned by the United States Steel corporation. Near ly all the railroads were willing to quit giving the "harvester trust's" line a percentage of through rates and al low them the regular rates for switch ing cars with its own engines, and to charge It the regular rates for switch ing when it is done by the railroads. Opinion Is Divided. The plan to put the Elgin. Joliet Eastern and the Chicago. Lake Shore Eastern roads of the "steel trust" in the same class as the so-called rail roads of the "harvester trust" caused radical differences between the execu tive officers. "The tonnage annually of the Chi cago. Lake Shore Eastern railroad is greater than the combined tonnage of the Great Western and Alton rail roads." aeclared an opponent of the proposition to cancel the rate divisions with the roads of the "steel trust." '""'he Elgin, Joliet Eastern is also a legitimate railroad," he continued. "It has over 100 miles of track and han dles all kinds of traffic to and from other roads." The whole question of canceling rate divisions with so-called industrial lines was referred to a committee. It is not likely that any change will be made, even with the co-called roads of the "harvester trust." THE GREED OF RAILROADS. Sensational Rook Written by an Argentine Switchman. William J. Pinkerton, a switchman em ployed by the Santa Fe in Argentine, has written a book which is singularly in keeping with the discussion now going on all over the country regarding the fre quency and awful fataiilv of railroad Tisasters. says the Kansas Citv Star. The hook is entitled "His Personal Record," end purports to show the injustices and extent of the blacklist, age limit and physical exami?iation. and the abuses of the hospital an.l pension systems. Sensational is the only word that prop erly defines the charees Mr. Pinkerton arrays against the railway corporations of the fnited States. The book is written lrorn the point of view of a jnan on the inside, on.- actively employed in the busi ness under discussion, and one. as his work shows, who has an extraordinary faculty of penetration. The book shows how the rijrid physical examination, the frenzied craving for physical perfection, enforced by the great railroad corpora tions, results in seasoned and experienced men being discharged or refused employ ment for such trivial short-comings as a car on the skin, a crooked nose or a joint missing from the finger. It shows how the places of these competent men are taken by students." or unseasoned per sons who are physically perfect f rom the standpoint of the underdone doctor who idands arbiter between the public safety and experience.

The age limit has been discussed to some extent in the columns of the Star by rail road men since the recent Warrensburg wreck. This is a subject of which the pub lic has little cognizance. No better explanation of the scope and purposes o'f this book, or the sensational things in the inner life of the railway cor porations that it uncovers, could be given than that of the author in the first chap ter. He says: "Thirty-eight is the average standard age limit of most of the great railway corporations of the T'nited States. One who has lost his position through resigna tion or discharge, in many of the depart ments of service on all the big systems is barred from further employment at the vocation at which he has spent the morn ing of his life, if his age is above the limit. The limit for the various occupa tions, in 'station order,' to use a railroad terms, is: Fireman. 2S: brakeman, 28: switchman, 35; engineer, 37; shopman. 45." WHO IS TO BLAME? Wall Street Journal Discusses Rail road Accidents. The remedy for the increasing num ber of railway accidents is not neces sarily found in governmental regula tion, says the Wall Street Journal. The question involved is not necessarily one of government versus private enter prises. It goes deep to the heart of the problem of administrative organiza tion. It Is one with the problems that confront the railroad manager every day in the difficult task of organizing his working forces into effective and responsible departments. It is a ques tion of how much can be left to the discretion of the individual or the de partment of the organization and how much must be specifically prescribed in advance by precedent or rule or general order or statute enactment. In the same way in which the people have it within their power to prescribe the conditions of safety and enforce them absolutely upon the railroad," the rail road manager has it in his power to prescribe the conditions of safe opera tion to the remotest detail and to en force his subordinates when his judg ment dictates to execute them to the letter. In blundering exercise of this prero gative, many an otherwise able man agement has gone down because it has not conceded sufficient discretion to the subordinate units and individuals of the organization. The evil is described as over-organization of which an inci dent, is red-tape. Statute provisions of government may become open to the same criticism. Like all extremes, there is a median and this is the line that the practical man must discover and follow. The object sought must be kept clearly in mind regardless of what may be the methods by whicn tne promem is approached. That object is two fold. (1) To absolutely connect the lines of responsibility so that the con sequence of an unfortunate act may be lodged against tne otienaer. (Z) uo limit the range of risk, which, even after the responsibilities have been fully defined, the individual may see fit to incur. Society in its larger interests in the same way as the railroad mana ger, in the larger interests of his work ing forces, frequently sees nt to limn the risk which it will permit an indi vidual to incur on his own account. On the necessity of connecting tne lines of responsibility so that the act and its consequences may be met in the same individual, opinions cannot differ. The more elaborately this con nection is perfected beyond all perad venture, the better for society at large. But when we undertake to say what risk shall be incurred and generalize in advance upon the character of the con ditions which are to be met, and n deavor to embrace all within the scope of fixed rules, we enter upon dangerous territory. The man who makes the rule assumes far too much of the re sponsibility. Too many factors in the local situation where the rule applies are beyond his view. The same will be true if by legal enactment or the li censing of employes the state under takes to prescribe in too great detail the conditions of safety. If the public becomes convinced that railway accidents are seriously on the increase, the tendency will be to im pose certain arbitrary requirements which they conceive to be the condi tions of safety. There will be inter ested parties to define for them what these conditions of safety are and the skill and discretion of the railway manager will not be conceded its pro per weight. In the age of mechanical appliances we come easily to think that the ma chine can operate without the man. The automatic block signal systems seem at first completely to meet the require ments of mechanically absolute safety. In their absence the manual block is thought of as the next best expedient. But, fortunately or unfortunately, the personal equation cannot be eliminated from the situation. The best automatic block signal in the world an engineer will sometimes run by. and automatic control which has been theoretically proposed has its limitations. But the personal equation is constantly chang ing, according to the standards of dis cipline in force. At this time there is a pronounced tendency to demoraliza tion among working tor'cea. Managers cannot express themselves, but the plain implication is that there is an influence which is weakening their au thority to enforce orders with the se verity of army discipline, as was for merly their wont. The extraordinary authority of the general of the army or the captain of the ship was not without its reason. The superintend ent who assumes the responsibility of ure ana limb witnin tne bounds of this division should have conceded to him not only by the regulations that are in force, but by the spirit of the service and the cordial consent of every Indi vidual in the service that'absolute con trol for the time. In this way in the discharge of his duties he cannot es cape nor divide the responsibility, ex cept as in nis discretion be specifically delegates It. If the labor unions are creating a bond of sympathy that is stronger than loyalty to the spirit and letter of discipline, that tends to shield incompetency and cover up blunders, they are in serious business. Where life and limb are involved there can be no diyided authority. RAILWAY MEN AFTER OIL. Notes and Personals of Interest From Dodge City. Dodge City, Kan., Nov. 3. Special correspondence of the State Journal The Western Oil and Gas Co., which is a Dodge City concern, has let the con tract for drilling a well in the Chanute field, where it owns a lease on 160 acres of land in proven territory. Trainmas ter Coffey is president and Trainmaster Morris is vice president of the com pany and a large amount of the stock is owned bv local railway men. Super intendent F. C. Fox. of the Middle di vision at Newton, is one of the direc tors. Trainmaster J. D. Coffey went east Monday on business. Night Chief Dispatcher F. M. Drake has returned from a three weeks' visit to his former home in Michigan, and is at work again. The train and enginemen are notcom plaining about light business now-a-days. The east bound movement of live stock, dried and canned fruit and coal is heavy and the men are getting all the work they can stand. The recent washout trouble along the Santa Fe line was the cause of vast numbers of loaded and empty cars be ing stored at division points west of Newton and now that the line is open all the local officials are making every effort to move the delayed cars rapidly and get them to destination. As a re sult of this heavy traffic in delayed cars the rails are literally kept hot with freight trains and train and engine crews are working about every hour of the time they are not tied up for rest. It is expected that the Western divis ion will get pretty well cleared up this week when traffic will resume its nor mal condition. The scarcity of houses in Dodge City has been discussed and "cussed" by local railway men for over a year and it is the unanimous opinion that some of Dodge City's capitalists ought to build more houses, as the rents are high and such investments profitable. Yardmaster Walker has had "troubles of his own" since the blockade. "Pete" Murray, the night yardmaster, also has had a few. Grant Hale, who is connected with the secret service department, is said to be preparing to move back to Dodge City. His headquarters now are at Hutchinson. The boys are "cussing the 800 class engines which were sent to this division for service in place of the prairie type engines that went to the New Mexico division after the washout trouble. It is understood that the 800 will all go back "home" within a week or ten days and the prairies will then return. Roadmaster Bogue is at Elmdale at the bedside of a young son who was ac cidentally shot by a companion a few days ago. The street department is putting in several much needed brick crossings. SANTA FE RALLASTING. Southern Kansas Division Gets Many Improvements. Chanute, Kan., Nov. 3. E. Raymond, assistant superintendent for the Cha nute division of the Southern Kansas, stated that the road between here and Independence is being ballasted at the rate of 50 cars of ballast a day. The work is being done as fast as two crushers can' produce the ballast and when it has been completed will make the Southern Kansas one of the best roads in the west. New ties are also being installed and as fast as the track layers can do so, new steel is being put down. The Howard branch is being practically rebuilt. In company with Mr. Raymond were J. C. Shaeffer. trainmaster at Newton and J. C. Ramsey, trainmaster at Cha nute. RATES ADVANCE DECEMBER 5. Central Freight Association Postpones Advancement of Grain Rates. The Central Freight association lines have decided to postpone the advance in east bound grain rates until December 5. Grain shipments during the last week or two have not come up to expectations and it was feared that if the rates were ad vanced before the close of navigation the decrease in shipments by the rail lines would become still greater. Tne present dullness is attributed to the coming election, and after the election big impprovement both on tha eastern and western roads is looked for. Although east bound grain and provis ion shipments last week suffered another decrease the roads report a considerable improvement in high class freight. In dustries all n'ong the eastern lines are now running at nearly their fu-1 capaci A They Can't Scare ties, and a vast amount o raw material is being used up by tnm. nd the trans portation of .these materials is a. promi nent feature in the imprbveTr.ent. Following is a detaHwl statement of east bound flour, grain and provision shipments for last week: Last week Flour, S5.4S3 barrels; grain, l,48S,TO bushels; provisions, 26,227 tons. Previous week Flour, 75,997 barrels: grain, 1.503,000 bushels; provisions, 27,478 tons. Last year Flour, io.430 barrels: grain, 1,766,000 busliels provisions, 33,623 tons. ELECTRIC ENGINE SPEEDY. Makes Seventy Miles an Hour Without Coaches Attached on Test Run. Schenectady, N. Y-, Nov.- 3. The big electrical locomotive built for the New York Central Railway company was taken out to the Hoffman's four mile race course, equipped with the third rail, and, without- eoaches, attained a speed of 70 miles an hour. WMth eight coaches the locomotive reached a speed of 55 miles an hour. In 63 seconds after the lever had reached the first notch on the control ler in starting the Indicator showed that the machine had attained a sjjeed of 35 miles, and increased at a rate of five miles every 30 seconds. In a race with a New York Central limited on a second track at this point the electric locomotive easily beat the steam pro pelled train. on the four mile run. WORLD'S FAIR ENGINE IN USE. Part of Santa Fe Exhibit at St. Louis Back in Service In the Mountains. Dodge City, Kan., Nov. 3. Santa Fe engine 929, which was an exhibit in the transportation building at the World's fair, passed through here last week on her way back to the moun tains, where she was in service before being taken to the fair. She Is one of the largest engines in the world. The Santa Fe has 40 or 50 in service west just like her. Voted Orient Bonds. El Dorado, Kan., Nov. 3. The Orient railroad bonds carried overwhelmingly in Chelsea, Sycamore and El Dorado townships and lost in Bruno township by 2& votes. In this city out of 450 votes 21 were east against the bonds. The Orient is located from here To the north line of the county on the old Santa Fe short line grade, considerable of which is in good shape. Part of the right of way has been acquired, and it is supposed work on the grading will commence soon. Coal Strike Hurts Railroads. The strike in the soft coal regions is causing a big loss to the Eastern Illi nois, Alton, Illinois Central, and Bur lington railroads. The. Eastern Illinois is the heaviest carrier of soft coal, handling on an average 2,500 car loads a week. Railroad rnen "say if the strike in the soft coal region is of prolonged duration it will have greater effect in this section of the west than did the strike in the anthracite district two years ago. Maxwell Has Stroke or Paralysis. Cedar Rapids, Ial, Nov. 3. W. J. Maxwell, grand secretary of the Order of Railway Conductors is suffering with paralysis. His condition is serious. BISHOPS ASSIGNED.

HALLOWEEEN SNAP SHOT. This Citizen He is Going AIRSHIP ESCAPES. When Last Seen It was""" Drifting to the Northwestward. St Louis, Nov. 3. While Captain Baldwin of San Francisco, inventor of the California Arrow Airship and sev eral' assistants were returning the airship from the place it landed in St. Louis county after its unsuccessful flight, to the World's fair aeronautic concourse, the lead rope was dragged from the hads of Baldwin's assistants and the airship broke loose and soared into the air. When last seen the air ship was drifting raipdly in a north westerly direction. The airship escaped at 8:15 o'clock last night just as the persons towing it into the concourse had reached the vicinity of the place. There was a trolley line to be crossed and it was necessary to pass the prow of the craft over the trolley wire and catch the down hanging rope, and then release the rope that hung from the rear, in the darkness those manipulating the ropes miscalculated and both the front and- rear ropes were released at the same time. In the twinkling the buoy ant airship from which had been taken 200 pounds of' ballast, and which was not even encumbered with Aeronaut Knabenshue, shot up and was gone. In the dim light projected by the nearest arc light, the yellow ball loomed indistinctly, but for enough space of time to show that the light wind was'tiarrying it toward the northwest. There was absolutely nothing for Baldwin, Knabenshue and the other members of the party to do but accept the situation and make the best of it. After some little discussion as to the probable length of time that the sup ply of gas would sustain the airship, Baldwin stated that he believed the Arrow would descend to the ground within an hour. The party then pro ceeded on to the concourse where the announcement the airship had escaped caused general consternation among the crowd that had remained expect ing to see the Arrow brought back. PARKER SPEAKS TWICE Addresses Audience at Cooper Union and Carnegie Hall. New "York, Nov. 3. One of the most rousing receptions of the campaign was given Judge Parker last night at Cooper union, where he addressed a large meeting held under the auspices of the German American Parker union. The candidate was substituted for Grover Cleveland, who was scheduled originally to address the gathering, but was compelled to cancel the engagement. Carl Schurz was presid ing officer. All of the addresses were in German except that of Judge Parker. Under an escort of mounted policemen Judge Parker arrived at Cooper union at 8:23 o'clock. Before his arrival there was a display of bombs and other fireworks in the square north of the building. The candidate was warmly cheered by the crowd about the building. He entered by the platform door on Fourth avenue. He was shown to the stage by officers of the union in charge of the meeting and met Mr. Schurz in full -iew of the audience. They clasped hands in a greetinng that lasted fully a minute while the crowd looked on and applauded approvingly. The reception given the candidate was but a repetition of others that have been given him in New York and in fact on every occasion where he has made public addresses. The demonstration continued eight minutes before he was permitted to begin his speech. Cooper union was filed long before the meeting opened. The band played patriot ic airs and the audience cheered for the candidate again and again before the meeting opened. The first great demon stration was at i:43 o ciock when Mr. Schurz arrived. A few minuutes later tTie. meeting was. called to order by Herman Bidder, who introduced Mr. Schurz as chairman. The presiding officer has not been well and he spoke with considerable effort, making his only address of the campaign. Judge Parker's speech was almost en tirely devoted to the subiects of imoer ialism and miltarism, and the subjects seemed peculiarly popular with the au dience of German-Americans. He was in terrupted frequently with prolonged ap plause and once when he paid homage to Mr. ecnurz personally as one who had "felt the blighting power" of militarism. Mr. Schurz came forward and shook Judge Parker byb the hand and thanked him for his words. The audience stood up ana snuuieu lis approval. Judge Parker was driven from Cooper union to Carnegie ball, where he address ed a met ting under tne auspices of the W est Bide Parser independent club. Kicked to Death toy a Colt. Winfield, Nov. 3.

The New York Herald, in a dispatch from Washing ton, says: Republican managers here make the charge that the Standard Oil interests have given largely to the Democratic campaign fund for New York city and that Standard Oil in terests in Indiana, especially in. Whit ing, Muncie and Marlon, have been working for the Democratic ticket. The Republcan managers say that it is not denied by Democratic commit teemen in that state that Standard Oil gifts have been made. Senator Knox is among the president's friends who believe that the full weight of the Standard Oil management is per sonally and financially in Judge Par ker's campaign. According to the Republican managers, one of the offi cers of the Standard Oil company in Chicago, a personal friend of a cabinet officer, came to Washington not long ago to inform the president that the company, represented by a large ma jority of its managers, was against his election. The Standard Oil officer, at the same time, said he himself would be personally working for Mr. Roose velt's election. Through the cabinet officer, Pres ident Roosevelt informed the man that he hoped no officer of the Standard Oil company would give funds to his campaign. He said he understood that a proposition had been made to give to the Republicans in some states and to the Democrats in others. The president hoped that it would not con tribute to either party, and expressed himself very strongly that he did not care for it for the Republicans. It Is asserted that the reply was that, so far as Democratic gifts were con cerned, it was too late, because mon ey had already gone to Judge Par ker's managers in New York city. It was also said that it had been the custom of the Standard Oil officers to give money to Democratic managers in New York city in every campaign. The Republican campaign managers declare that they have for a long time believed that the Standard Oil inter ests were opposed to the president's election. In this connection the ab sence of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island from participation in the na tional campaign is pointed to. He has not only been a freequent visitor at headquartersj in New York, according to his past custom, but he has not communicated with the president on any topic except one since his nomi nation in June.

Plenty of Topeka Readers Have the Same Experience. Don't neglect an aching back. It will get worse every year. Backache is really kidney ache. To cure the back you must cure the kidneys. If you don't, other kidney ills fol low Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's disease. A Topeka citizen tells you how the cure is easy. Joseph Voytek, cabinet maker, of 213 Wast Sixth street, says: "I had kidney trouble for four or five years, coming on me gradually and causing me a great deal of suffering. Later on a severe attacK or tne griD tett my kidneys in a much weaker state and in the mornings my back hurt me so acutely that I could hardly get out of bed and felt tired and unrefreshed. If I unthinkingly stooped or attempt ed to lift anything, sharp twinges of pain caught me in my back, almost making me exclaim. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Rowley Snow's drug store, and the prompt ness with which they acted was very pleasant to me. They took away all the pain and restored me to normal health."

Why not have an ar6itration com mission sit on the case of General Kuropatkin and Field Marshal Oyaraa. The Newark News has discovered one use for the trusts. They afford the campaign orators something' to talk about. Perhaps, if Mr. Swallow's commit tee had the money spent for liquor in one year it could obtain some electoral votes for him. It looks as though Standard Oil company's investment in the Parker campaign will turn out to be another case of "frenzied finance." The position of Grand Rapids boodle aldermen appears to have been that they Just couldn't bear to see the money carried out of town. The campaign has now reached that period when each side discovers that the other is preparing to steal the election in certain localities. The conviction reached in St. Pe tersburg that Port Arthur must fall soon probably will be glad news to the crews of the Baltic fleet. Cleveland Plain Dealer: It has been supposed that a presidential year yras bad for business. This time It Is just the other way. Business is bad for the presidential year. Judge Parker has succeeded in arousing some interest in the cam paign since he went on the stump. He is drawing the fire of the Republican spellbinders by his declaration that Mr. Cortelyou has been bargaining with the trusts for campaign funds. Testimony at the coroner's inquest held over the remains of the Hull fishermen killed by the Russians, shows that the firing continued for a half hour. If the czar's guns had been manned by Americans or Jap anese the whole fleet of fishing vessels would have been sunk. In the Century for October the sub ject of "The Real Dangers of the Trusts' is discussed in a dispassion ate way by John Bates Clark, profes sor of political economy in Columbia university. His article has no relation to the present political contest, and nothing to do with the position of any party, but deals with the topic as a great problem that demands the con sideration of every thoughtful and public spirited citizen of the United States. After going on to say that political machines and bosses were not created by the trusts but previously existed, and that the bosses had al ready acquired the power to cajole members of regular political parties and lead them whither they would, the professor declares that the trust, with the power of the old political machine put bodily into its hand, is a thing to be dreaded, and that the government which is described by the term democracy "is in danger of be coming more and more a rule by the sinister combination of wealth and conscienceless political leadership."

Over Any Time. Since the Wreck. Mrs. W. J. Black, who Is at the Santa F.e hospital, is better today than at any time since she received her injuries In the Missouri Pacific wreck at Tipton, Mo., last Sunday morning. The cast was taken off her ankle Wednesday afternoon and a consulta tion held by the doctors. Dr. C. A. Mc Guire at that time stated that her chances of recovery were 95 out of 100. Today she has improved wonderfully and there now seems to be no longer any doubt In regard to saving her foot When the cast was taken from her foot yesterday the doctors were alarmed for fear that blood poisoning might set in. but today it is said all indications of such a contingency seem to have passed. Quite a little pus had formed In the ankle while it was in the cast, but it was drained away. Today tubes were placed in the injured portion so that what little pusrmay form will be quick ly drained away. All seem unanimous In holding a more cheerful view of the situation today. Orders have been given, however, that no one may see her for at least 30 days, and she will be given absolute quiet and rest in order to overcome the nevvous shock. It is stated that the thoughts of the terrible accident and the shock have proven a great drain on her vitality and that she still feels very weak, al though she has been steadily improving and gaining. Mr. Black is feeling very well today and is rapidly improving. His back is gaining strength and he spent a portion of the afternoon sitting in a chair. He will be able to walk a few steps soon if the improvement keeps up as rapid as it has been. BANDITS AT BAY. Slayers of Cashier Sliddaugh Are Sur rounded. Meeteese, Wyo., Nov. 3.

Hoch's speech in Leavenworth Tuesday night contains the following: "Mr. Hoch spoke for nearly tw hours. He took occasion to denounce the Democrats for sending out un truthful statements about him in cir culars. He held up one of the eircu lars in which he was portrayed as an enemy of old soldiers. He denounced it as false." The circular In question was one which gave a number of instances in which Mr. Hoch bolted Republican nominees, several of them being old soldiers. Marion county people say that it is true that Mr. Hoch bolted as is claimed. E. Baxter, who lives at Marlon and who is himself.an old sol dier, says he does not believe that Mr. Hoch denied bolting, but meant to deny that he was an enemy ot oia soldiers, because it cannot be disputed that he did bolt. "I cannot believe that Mr. Hoch stated tha the did not bolt the Repub lican nominees mentioned in this cir cular." said Mr. Baxter today, "be cause Sam T. Howe, Judge Foote, Judge Doster right here in Topeka re member all about it. It was a matter of public notoriety at the times Mr. Hoch bolted. I know myself mat tne facts as stated in this circular are true, so far as relates to Hoch s bolt ing old soldiers, and I do not believed he denied them. I do not believe Mr. Hoch personally is an enemy of the old soldier, but it is a fact that he has bolted." The instances cited In -the circular when Hoch bolted are as follows: In 1S79 Hoch bolted Colonel W. T. Hoblitzell. Republican candidate for county treasurer, who had been cap tain of a company of Kentucky Union soldiers, and was promoted to colonel of volunteers for meritorious conduct. In 1SS0. Hoch bolted Prof. D. H. Ran dall, Republican nominee for county superintendent, who was an oia soiaier. The same year he bolted J. tJauey, Renublican nominee for sheriff, a Un ion veteran. Hoch supported against Bailey one T. T. Smith, a Morgan raid er who had to have his disabilities re moved by the legislature before ne could aualifv. In 18S3, Hoch bolted E. N. Eby, a Union veteran who was the itepuDU can nominee for register of deeds. At the same time he bolted the entire Be- nnhliran pountv ticket. in 1SS7. Hoch bolted the late Judge M. P. Simpson, Republican nominee for district judge, supporting Judge Frank Doster, since then .fopuiist cmei jus tice of the supreme court. In 1S90. Hoch bolted J. HI. uilberi, nuhlican nominee for representative, who was a Union soldier"and an Ingalls man Hoch sunDorted the Populist candidate who voted for perrer ior senator. That was the year of the Populist uprising. WHAT THEY FOUND. The Electric Light Situation at Lincoln. Indications are that when the Edison franchise comes before the city council rhprp will be n stroner effort made to get the terms fixed so that they will afford mnra nr. i,ti for the pit v Some of the members of the council -are getting tired of hearing themselves reierreu as as "franchise grabbers," and they may get together and prevent the donation of an other immensely valuable franchise with out getting something in return. Mavnr Reririindthai and Councilman William Green, who returned Wednesday from Lincoln, find that the electric light rate situation s decidedly competitive. Mavor Bergrundthal said today: "Th fact is that thev charge a man anything they can get. They haven't any schedule at all and no published rates. The system of charges which was ex plained to us by the Edison company as being in force there no longer applies. The council granted the street railway company the right to sell electric light, and the result is that the merchants pay whatever the companies think they can get. The rates are very low, so low that a large numoer oi tne stores use tnou sands of incandescent lights for illumi nating the outside of their buildings, out lining the walls as we nave done at tne Auditorium for the Midwinter exposition. All we were able to learn about the rates was that they are very much lower than they have ever been in Topeka and that it is a case of every customer for himself to get as good a rate as possible. WHAT THEY FOUND OUT. An Investigation of T. M. Dolan That Wasn't Published. Albert T. Reid and J. E. House were sent to Washington county, the home of T. M. Dolan, the Democratic candi date for state treasurer, to see If they could not find something "on" Mr. Dolan to offset the attacks which are being made on Kelly. They went to Clifton, Mr. Dolan's home, where he has lived for many years, and also vis- ted other places in Cloud and Wash ington counties. In making their inquiries the party was told that Dolan would receive a big support at home and would carry Washington county by 1,50" majority. It is normally Republican by 800. They were also told that Dolan would carry Cloud county by a big majority. It was asserted that two out of every three Republicans would bolt Kelly. NEW PREACHER IS HERE. Rev. W. C. Evans Arrives to Take Charge of SI. E. Church. The Rev. W. C. Evans, D. D., the new pastor of the First Methodist church, and Mrs. Evans arrived in Topeka today.

IN SHORT GRASS REGION A Republicans Won't Support Kelly for Treasurer. Every report that comes in from over the state indicates that thousands of Republicans will not vote for T. T, Kelly next Tuesday. And along with Kelly a good many will also scratch the school fund commissioners. The Garden City Imprint (Rep.) has been interviewing some of the Republicans in Finney county, and here is what it savs: "William Ford, one of the delegates to the state convention, says: 'I was against Kelly in the convention and will do all I can to defeat nim. "Likewise Ira Carter and C. W. Chalfant. who were also delegates, and cast Finney county's votes against Kelly's nomination. "F. .H. Laberstean, Republican nominee for register of deeds, says: 'I did not vote for him before and will not now. I will never knowingly support a thief and embezzler.' "C. H. Rhodes, Republican nominee for county clerk: 'It is the duty of all voters to scratch Kelly, and it can only be made effective by voting for his opponent.' "Abner Hadley: 'I cannot vote for him.' "In extended drives over Finney and Scott counties recently we found four out of five Republicans are against Mr. Kelly; most of them will laKe time to scratch and many declare they will vote for Dolan. "This is the wav a prominent Re publican puts it: 'The Republican who remains in the booth long enough to just mark in the circle must come out feeling that he has endorsed a thief.' Similar reports come from many oth er sections of the state except the ex treme southeastern part. Down in that section they do not seem to know as much about Kelly's record as in the rest of the state, and tne doii win not be nearly as great as elsewhere. In Crawford and Cherokee counties two years ago Kelly ran ahead of Bailey. It is by no means uncommon to hear of Republican candidates on county tickets who declare they will not vote for Kelly, although most of them do not like to say so openly. There is at least one candidate on the Republican ticket in Shawnee county who is a pronounced anti-Kelly man. In some counties it' is predicted that Kelly will not receive fifty per cent of the Republican vote. A loss of 12 per cent from his vote of two years ago will defeat him if it is cast for his opponent. It is estimated that Kelly was elect ed two years ago by Democratic votes, few of which he will receive this year. HERE'S ANOTHERSTRAW Adjutant of Fort Pillow Post Says Negro Veterans Are Not for Kelly. Here is another straw: George R. Waters, past commander and adjutant of Fort Pillow post, G. A. R., says that only one of the forty five members of that post will support T. T. Kelly for Mate treasurer. The one exception Colonel Waters does not know about is Tolliver Bird, who is one of the state house' janitors. Fort Pillow post is the G. A. R. or ganization of Topeka colored old sol diers. As a matter of course all the members are Republicans. "There are 45 members in the post," said Colonel Waters today, "and I am positive that everyone of them will vote against Kelly except Tolliver Bird. He works in the state house and I am not sure about him." People who know Tolliver tnra are Inclined to think that he will not vote for Kelly either, but for diplomatic reasons ft would not be wise for him to say so. Some of the state house Janitors are openly against Kelly, and it is said that .the majority win vote ae-alnst him. although tney ao not dare to say so openiy.

TIMES GROW WORSE. Candidate Davis Talks Calamity in His Own State. St. Louis, Nov. 3. The Baldwin air ship has been found 16 miles west of St. Louis in a cornfield near the ham let of Fern Ridge. It is uninjured, and still floating when discovered although it had anchored itself. The trailing rope had entangled in a decayed limb of a tree which had broken off, but was of sufficient weight to drag the aerial craft to the ground. It sagged down into a cornfield and was discov ered by farmers. Baldwin and Kna- benshue, accompanied by several oth ers started for the place in automo biles and will bring the craft back to the concourse. TO MEET BAKER DEBATERS.

Under McKinley, said he, there was an' overflowing treasury, containing a surplus of 5 mil lion dollars. Now there is a deficit of 41 million. In speaking here to an audience that filled the Music hall Mr. Davis said that the trusts were all kept up by the tariff, "although," said he, "as you know I am not a free trader, I think the tariff on special things that foster the trusts should be reduced, but with out fear of contradiction, I will say that every one of the two or three hun dred trusts in this country is Republi can. The beef trust, the Standard Oil trist, the steel trust, are all contribut ing and working for Republican suc cess. Mr. J. P.

Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 3. Judge Parker arrived here at 11:40 a. m. The judge was received with an out burst of applause by the people who thronged the platform. Mr. Parker was immediately welcomed in a formal way by General Henry A. Bishop, can didate for lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket whose guests he was during his stay in this city. After the luncheon Judge Parker was driven with General Bishop to the Third Regiment armory where he de livered an address to an audience which taxed the capacity of the build ing. As Judge Parker entered the ar mory the audience cheered for fully 5 minutes. With a brief introduction General Bishop introduced the presi dential candidate, who spoke as fol lows "In our later days the claim is' often made, not only by practical men, but by students of economic history, that our rapid industrial progress is the resultof the development of machin ery. This theory assumes that what ever our ancestors did in the way of buihding up institutions and industry everything is now so changed that we have now become dependent upon the machine and must be content to re main so hereafter. "The fact, however, is overlooked that whatever machinery may have done, it has been devoted, created and adapted by man's ingenuity, has been perfected by human patience and in dustry and that it must be operated by men of mind and bone and muscle. Nobody will presume to deny that it has become an important factor in in dustry but it is merely an incident, an auxiliary. "In truth, in nothing of what we call modern progress, has there been so much of exaggeration as that which relates to the machine. "This Is due entirely to the assump tion that it is something in and of itself, something separate from the human mind and the human body. We have thrown over it the aegis of the law and for the reason that we have, recognized it as a form of prop erty and thus an expression of hu man thrift, every kind of protection which society could devise has been given to it. Still the fact remains that it is the man behind the machine who has enabled the great mass of the peo ple of our country to procure better shelter, more food, more comfortable clothing and to en.ioy the blessings of the world which God has given not for the few, but for all. "During the past few years an en tirely new doctrine has been preached. Its logic is that whatever else we have done in the world, whatever human im perfections may still exist, so far as the levy of taxes is concerned, we have reached absolute perfection. The phrase 'standing pat' used to denote this ideal may not be elegant, but it Is at least expressive. "It would be interesting, if time per mitted, to inquire what this country and the world would have been, if, at different periods during the past -few hundred years our ancestors had thought of this doctrine and had ac cepted it. "It might, for instance, have been used two hundred and fifty years ago to perpetuate all the abuses of feudal ism. There was much in that idea, and in the resulting system of government which was interesting. The castle from which armed retainers went forth to battle, either for an idea or for defense, had great fascination for many minds, and it has, perhaps, added a tinge of interest or even glory to modern his torical study. "A great many people in the world were sure that the work of James Watt was, to say the least, superfluous; some even thought it dangerous, but he re fused to 'stand pat' and the world ha3 been able to progress by reason of his thought and action. "So, too, many people and great in terests, might have been satisfied if the world had kept to the sail boat and if Robert Fulton had never lived to dis turb it. And still, we in this country, do pride ourselves somewhat upon this original contribution to modern prog ress. "It will be in the memory of those who listen to me that there were many people in this country who were willing to 'stand pat' on the question of slavery. "It is no less certain than 'in the early days of New England history Roger Williams was forced out into the wilderness because the people about him insisted on 'standing pat." Still we do not recall the act with conspicuous pride and as if in mock ery of the doctrine, that great apostle to the Indians is one of the command ing figures of our early history- In fact, the whole of modern progress has come largely from the refusal of the world to 'stand pat.' Each suc cessive generation has recognized the virtues and naccepted the labors of its predecessors, but in doing so none has even declined or refused to recognize new demands or to correct old abuses. There is no more' reason why we should resolve not to revise our na tional revenue laws, than there would have been at other periods of history, to stop all progress. This is especially at 59c. true of abuses which become rooted in our human life. "It is easy enough for the favorite, who in this case, is the predominant partner with the government to resist any suggestion of change. But the farmer, the laborer, the man or wo man of fixed income, the student struggling for an education, the poor girl supporting her mother's family- these are entitled to inauire whether this policy of using the law to give favors to the few, while the many are left to nurse a sense of injustice, cor ruption or a short-sighted economic policy has brought it to us as a herit age." MONEY COUNTING CONTEST. Twelve Chicago Bank Clerks Engage in Speed Trial. Chicago, Nov. 3. A money count ing and adding contest has been held at the First National bank under the auspices of the American Institute of Bank Clerks. Twelve packages of mixed bank bills of $5, $10 and $20 denominations and aggregating $6, 000 each, were carried into a cage under the guard of twelve special po licemen. Twelve representatives from as many Chicat hanko sorted the mon ey, "proved" it, counted it into ?500 packages, strapped it up and initialed it under the critical gaze of 500 of their fellow clerks. The first prize of $25 was won by Lemoyne K. Hatch of the First National in 21 minutes 6 4-5 seconds. Neatness, accuracy and speed were the essential points. Two contestants were placed in each cage under the guard of two judges and two timekeepers. The contestants were principally tellers. Hatch finished one minute ahead of Frank E. Loomis of the Merchants Loan Trust bank, whose time was 22 minutes 1 1-5 sec onds. Monroe R. Venables of the Corn Exchange National bank was third with 25 minutes 10 seconds flat. The second and third prizes were $10 and $5. Before the counting contest men from the different banks added up 500 checks on the machines. The first prize was won by Fred Robyn of the First National "in the time of 11 minutes 39 4-5 seconds. The second prize of $10 was taken by Charles Novak of the Corn Exchange in 12:15 4-5. and the third of $5 by Edwin P. McCullough of the National Bank of North America, now merged in the Continental in 12:1 3-5. The -checks ran from 90 cents to $350,000 and aggregated $1,500,000. FIRMLY ESTABLISHED. Higher Prices for Iron Have Come to Stay. Cleveland.O., Nov. 3. The Iron Trade Review this week says: The pig iron market has passed through another week of activity and excitement, with added evidences of the remarkable change that has come in the past fortnight. Southern pig iron is now established on a level of $2.50 above the $9.50 low point of the year for No. 2, while in northern irons the advance has been about $2, or to $13.50. The stand for $12 taken by the southern furnaces was quickly re sponded to in the north, with indica tions that the gap between delivered prices of the two sections will soon be wiped out entirely, The week has added another heavy installment to the tonnage of pig Iron sales that in the past month-have ex ceeded any month's record since the summer of 1902. There has been con siderable inquiry for iron for the first quarter of 1905 and furnaces have sold conservatively for that delivery. Busi ness for the second quarter is also un der negotiation. At Chicago 50,000 tons of iron have been taken in the past -week on a scale up in prices and southern iron has been established at $12 Birming ham for No. 2. In the east, furnace men who met at Philadelphia ten days ago to hear the report of a committee that had been unsuccessful in secur ing freight reductions from the rail roads went home to find inquiries com ing in from all directions. Basic iron advanced 50 cents in the week, sales being made at $13.50 at furnace. In the Mahoning and Shenango val leys the position of the merchant fur nace is very strong. They are practi cally sold up to January 1. and are asking higher- prices than those of a week ago for both foundry and Besse mer irons. A large inquiry for Besse mer iron for shipmjt to Buffalo is re ported following purchases of Besse mer by the same interest from associa tion furnaces two weeks ago. At the moment $13.50 is asked for Bessemer for the first quarter of 1905. Steel billets are very firm at associa tion prices and producers are already discussing an advance to take effect January 1. The restoration of the $2 a ton extra for forging billets, which was taken off at the last meeting, ie flects the strengthening influence at work which will naturally extend to finished materials. Merchant pipe ad vanced another point on November 1 and in bar iron prices are up about $1 a ton in the week. A man can't fish without getting bait, but he can bait without getting fish.

New York. Nov. 3. Real estate valued at fully $100,000,000 and in the possession of about 280 persons, is involved in a series of legal actions, one of which has just been brought in the supreme court. The properties lie in the districts bounded by Eleventh and Thirteenth streets and Fourth and Sixth avenues and Thirty-flrst and Thirty-second streets and Sixth and Eighth avenues. In the present suit William H. LeBol teaux is the plaintiff and a publishing company is defendant. LeBoiteaux con tends that he has an undivided interest in the property occupied by the company, as one of the heirs of Jacob I. Arden, the original possessor of the two tracts, which, at the time of his death, in 1S01, were known as the Arden farm. One of the properties involved in an other of LeBoiteaux's suits is that occu pied by Robert B.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1904. U Topeka Agents for McCall Patterns, 10c and 1 5c, none higher. OF THE THEE EPA MILLS D RTMENT J MANAGERS Topeka Agents for the Munsing Underwear. GOODS COMPANY Announce their November Sale of Fall and Winter Merchandise. The opening day of this event will be Friday, Nov. 4th. You are invited to come and see the crowds and enjoy the bargains. THERE was held Monday morning, Oct. 31, a conference of the Department Managers of The Mills Dry Goods Co., and after a full discussion of the question as to whether a 9 Department Managers' Sale should be held this Fall or not, it was unanimously concluded that this Sale should be held, and that it should com mence Friday morning, November 4th, and con tinue during the entire month. Mr. Mills, in talking to us, made it very plain that if we undertook the Sale at all he wanted it made the greatest success in point of sales of any previous one in the store's history, and in order that this result might be attained he would allow us (the Department Managers) the privil ege of making such prices on the merchandise in our various stocks as we wished. Mr. Mills set us a very high mark for the total business of the store for November, and this mark we are to press towards daily till Decem ber. There is such a thing as "success by indi rection," so that in order to reach this high mark, the surest way will be to make the prices very low. This page tells you something of them, and we feel very certain that the Jow prices we will make during this Sale will be the least prices that we have ever made on such dependable merchandise in November. The result of this Sale means much to us, and we wish to thank each one of our friends and customers in advance for all the favors they may show us during this Sale. C. B. Tyler. Minnie Wingert. W.

8 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1904. APPROACHING PORTARTHUR. Detailed Account of Operations on the I'eninuia After Being Censored by the Japanese Officials. CONTINUED FIGHTING. Or Hhich the World Has Hith erto Heard Little. A HeaTj Price Was Paid for Ererj Forward Step. Headquarters of the Third Japanese Army In Front of Port Arthur," Nov. 2, ia Chefoo, Nov. 3. Censored When the Japanese drove the Russians from their strong: position on the last range of hills in front of the fortress by a surprise attack July 30, the Russians retired to the forts, but they also strongly held previously prepared ad vance lines to prevent the Japanese from closing in upon the fortified ridges. This line of forts was li miles long forming a. semi-circle from the east coast to four miles from the west coast and circling five miles northwest of Port Arthur. The fortress belt pro per was a. 12 mile semi-circle from coast to coast. The Japanese position was a mile from the advance Russian line in the center of a range of hills called irengnoano mountain, un tneir left flank was broken, hilly country east of Taku mountain. Their right flank was over the crest of a range of kills extending in a northwesterly di rection from Port Arthur to Louisa bay. Between the Ferghoano mountain nd the Russian fortress" was the tri angular Shuishi valley, two miles wide, crossed by dry water courses almost to the foot of the fortrlled hills. The llussiau advance linesc passed through the center of the Shuishi valley. The fortified ridges on the east and west of the city were in the approxi mate shape of an obtuse angle, with its apex in the valley. The outskirts of the city were between" the east and West fortified ridges. Though the advance of the Japan ese center over the valley was com paratively easy, owing to the good cover afforded by the water courses and waving crops of Chinese corn, they were subjected to a concentrated converging fire from the forts on the east and west ridges. Before the line of investment was drawn close about the fortress much closing was neces sary on the part of the Japanese Hanks. Two mountains, Taku and &hakhu, close to the eastern extremity of the fortified ridges and essential to a close investment, were held by the Russians. From the top of Taku. a precipitous mountain, six hundred feet high, the Russians were able to see the rear of the Japanese lines. On the right flank were two power ful advance forts, on hills respectively 174 yards and 203 yards high. The more stroVig advance works were sit uated on the lower peaks of the same range, extending in a northwesterly direction from the city towards Louisa bay. These works protected the Rus sian left flank and prevented the Jap anese from pushing a force on Port Arthur through the valley from the shores of Pigeon bay, as the works commanded the gap in the Chair hill forts on the west coast. The advance works were well con structed and more difficult to take than some of the permanent forts. It was decided to close in the Japanese left flank, first taking Taku and Shahku mountains. The former was rugged, isolated and had precipitous slopes on its east and northwest sides. The ad vance south was made under the fire of the east forts of Shakhu mountain. A division was ordered to take the hills alid on August 7. the bombardment be gan in the afternoon, the divisional ar tillery being assisted by three batteries of 4.7 inch naval guns and four bat teries of 3 inch howitzers. The Russians replied with field guns from Taku mountain and with larger guns from the east forts. The artillery on two hills was silenced at 6 in the evening and the Japanese infantry ad vanced at 7 o'clock in three columns, the right flank keeping in touch with the left flank of the main line in the Phuilshi valley. The advance was made in the form of a segment of a circle from the east. Heavy rain stopped all the movements and early darkness stopped the artil lery fire. When the infantry closed in on Taku mountain, where they had previously silenced the Russian guns the Russians suddenly opened a heavy rifle fire from the crests of the hills and compelled the Japanese attacking force to build trenches for their protection from north to east, close to the foot of the hill slopes. One Japanese regiment took an es sential angle on the first ascent of the south slope. During the night a bat talion of reserves was added to ttv attacking force on the south slope. TRe following day rain continued. The Japanese on the south slope were shelled in their trenches from the east forts and were unable to advance up the slippery slopes. Russian torpedo gunboats appeared off the coast near Salt park village and bombarder a Japanese regiment on the south slope so that it had to retire. The right was finally compelled to re tire under the tire of the howitzer bat teries. Then a general bombardment commenced and all fire from Taku and Shahku mountains was stopped. Eight Japanese regiments from the south east part of Port Arthur and one from the northwest section, gained a foot hold on the crest of Taku mountain and after a desperate hand to hand en counter, compelled the Russians to re tire westward into their permanent forts. Our field guns were captured. The Japanese regiments then com bined for an attack on Shahku moun tain, but were repulsed and compelled to spend the night in their trenches at the foot of the hills. At 4 in the morning the attack was renewed and the hills were captured. The Russians left hundreds of dead in their abandon ed position. The Japanese casualties were 1,400. Though the Japanese were unable to permanently occupy the cap tured hills they robbed thtlussians of invaluable observation points. This en abled the investing line to be drawn from the coast between the two hiils and the eastern fortified ridges. Attention was then turned to the Russian flank. The Japanese brigades were ordered to advance. They started In the night a line two miles in length. At 2 in the morning a heavy rain greatly im peded their progress, but they reached the Rusisan entanglements under heavy fire. A quarter inch steel wire compelled the pioneers to cut the poles to open the way. The position was captured at 4 o'clock in the moraine of August 14, the Russian counter attack being repulsed. A heavy Japanese bombardment of tre Russian advance works, on a lo v .tli north of 174 yard hill finally -om-pelled the fire to slacken. A night attack was made on the Russian works. The Japanese reached the outer entanglements but were then repulsed. The starlight shells located the Japanese lines on which search lights were thrown, after which the Russian guns played havoc all night with the Japanese troops in the trenches on the hillside. Finally a concentrated force from Etze moun tain and the advance force compelled the Japanese to cease operations. It was announced at the Japanese head quarters on the fifteenth that the siege guns would be in position and ready to begin a bombardment on the 20th ine Headquarters on the 18th were at the village of Swanetaikow. close to the railroad and 13 miles north of Port Arthur. The Associated Press correspondent upon his arrival there was welco.ied by General Nogi, who said he was just in time to see the conclusion of a suc cessful campaign and the capture of Port Arthur. The correspondent went to the front the morning of the 19th and saw the positions from the highest peak of Fenghoang mountain, at a range of five miles from Port Arthur and two miles west of the railroad. It was evident that a general attack had been planned. The railroad to Port Dalny was taxed to Its capacity in bringing troops, siege guns, ainmuni- I tion and supplies to the front and the i no tt r: viuwueu vvilu manning troops and transports. Great activity prevailed everywhere in the Japanese lines. A good view of the operations could be obtained on the right front of Port Arthur cradled among the hills. Only the outskirts were visible, backed by the beetling brow of the Tiger's Tail peninsula. Fur ther south to the right towered the jag ged ridge of the Liaotin mountains. THEY GOJREE. Janitor Had Liquor But He Said That It IVp.s His Own. When the liquor selling case against Al Haysllp, H. Elliott and Nick Noble was called in police court this morn ing. Assistant City Attorney Urmy moved to dismiss the case. The motion carried. When the police raided Al Hayslip's billiard hall they found no liquor, but when they searched the apartments of the colored Janitor, Nick Noble, they round both beer and whisky. Noble claimed the liquor for his own use, but ne was arrested together with Hay slip and Elliott, who run a billiard hall in the basement of the building. Wednesday momine W. F. Lake was tried for making illegal sales of liquor at his drug store. 532 Kansas avenue. The case was taken under advisement until the afternoon session, when Lake was declared guilty and fined $200 and 30 days in Jail on the nuisance count. Chief Stahl has said that a nuisanc: conviction in police court is worthless, and will not be sustained in district court when in connection with a drug store. This practically lets Lake out. J. C. Sayler, an attorney, was a witness in the case, swore that he had purchased liquor in Lake's place a number of times without signing for it, but no convictions were secured on his testi mony. E. L. Evans, who was found guilty on a nuisance charge, of running the Eagle pharmacy at 404 Kansas avenue, was tried at the afternoon session for selling liquor at the "Copeland County" drug store, 834 Kansas avenue. Evans holds the permits at both places. The swarm of outside witnesses subpoenaed in this case testified that they had nev er taken a drink in the place. One of the witnesses, a Mrs. R. O. Hughes, testified that she had never been insij'? the place. Chief Stahl had evidently been misinformed by the "spotter" who watched that particular place. W. Brown was arrested last night on a charge of assault and battery. John P. Abel, an employe at the Santa Fe shops, appeared this morning with his face tied up in bandages so that he could not testify. The case has been continued, as Abel, the complaining witness, had his jaw bone broken in the fight. A. A. Rodgers was arrested today on a charge of violating the license or dinance. Rodgers refused to have a vault cleaned, and was arrested at the instigation of Sanitary Officer Jones. The case has been continued until No vember 11, to give the defendant time to comply with the order of the sani tary department. Oreen Scales, the negro who is charg ed with assaulting a 15-year-old color ed girl, Essie Davis, yesterday after noon, was arrested by the police last night and turned over to the state. DRIVEN' mOJf HOME. 'Buffalo Bill" Declares This Happened to Hini. Has Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 3. With the filing of the amended petition of Col. W. F. Cody in his divorce case no doubt remains of "Buffalo Bill's" in tention to pursue it to the end. After alleging in the first cause of action that Mrs. Cody had, at various times, made threats to poison' him and made an attempt December 26, 1901, the sec ond cause of action goes on to state that Mrs. Cody, by insulting words and actions, drove Cody and his friends from his home on various occasions. Scions of the British nobility, some of whom are now speeding with the colo nel on his man hunt, together with Americans of national fame, are in cluded in the number said to have been insulted by Mrs. Cody. Colonel Cody refuses to divulge their names in his petition. He says they will not be made public until the trial. The amended complaint gives numerous dates of Mrs. Cody's alleged offenses. The next move in the case will be the filing of Mrs. Cody's cross-complaint, which must be within two weeks. HASN'T TOrCUED ROOSEVELT. Donbts of Republican Success Find Xo Place at White House.

HAD A BIGMOWD More Than 2,000 People Attend Auditorium Meeting. Charles Curtia and Homer Hoch the Orators. THEY HAD FIREWORKS. It Was an Old-Fash loned Cam paign Gathering. The Speakers Said Nothing About State Issues. The Republicans had an enthusiasm meeting last night at the Auditorium. Everything was In evidence, even to the smoking flambeaux, and the yells and vociferous applause. The speakers were M. M. Hale, J. K. Hudson, Congressman Curtis and Homer Hoch. The Fremont and Lin coln club occupied seats on the plat form and the white haired voters sat as models for the first voters to look upon and copy after. Jackson's band played and then played again. Miss Wyatt sang campaign songs and the Washburn rah, rah boys rah rahed. The first floor of the Auditorium was filled and the speakers, band, Fremont and Lincoln club had seats on the stage. A few people were in the balcony. The audience numbered probably about 2,200 people which was more than Chairman Philips, of the Republican county com mittee, expected would attend the meeting. The Fremont and Lincoln club, the Republican Flambeau club, the Oak land drum corps and Jackson's band marched from the old court house to the Auditorium. Oscar Swayze fired bombs. M. M. Hale, president of the Fremont and Lincoln club, presided at the meet ing. General J. K. Hudson introctueea the speakers. The one particular fea ture of the meeting was the absolute absence of any reference to the state campaign by any of the speakers. They avoided getting nearer to Kansas tnan to mention the McKinley home in Can ton and Bryan's home in Lincoln. In fact there was little said about the present national campaign further than a slight mention' of tariff reforms when needed. The meeting was typical of the cam paign and the speakers could find noth ing of the time and place to speakabout which would bring off the hats, bring out the yells and whoops. The au dience was there because voters are ex pected to attend campaign meetings. A man said as he entered the Auditor ium: "I don't know why I am coming for I shall not change my mind, but I wouldn't feel right unless I went to a political meeting." General Hudson was the first speaker He said: "At the close of this cam paign it is right that the first voters should meet with the first Republican voters who cast ballots for the first Re publican candidates for the presidency, John C. Fremont and Abraham Lin coln. These old citizens who voted the Republican ticket first in 1856 remem ber the intense excitement then. The warmth of this campaign. compared to that of 1856 is like an icicle and a red hot stove." General Hudson introduced Congress man Curtis. Mr. Curtis said: "The only party which has worked for the interest of the people, is the Re publican party. It represents every thing that is best in American man hood. I want to call your attention, first voters, to the fact that the ques tion before the American people is as great as that discussed in any cam paign in the history of the country. John Sharp Williams has said that the issue in the campaign is tariff re form and he was right. This has been the issue for 12 years. The Democrats carried the country on this issue at one time and the result was that the country was fooled. The voters have been fooled on this issue and they should not be fooled again. It means ruin to the country." Congressman Curtis spoke of the Democratic Wilson bill and the Repub lican Dingley bill. Of the Wilson bill he said: "This bill caused the children and wo men to cry for bread: it organized the Coxey army, the most pitiable sight ever presented to the people of the country. The men could not get work and they wanted work. This was only possible under a Democratic adminis tration. Coxey's army did not restore to the American people the American market, but the Republican party did do so by putting in effect the Dingley bill." Congressman Curtis spoke of tariff changes and that the Republicans would make such changes as are nec essary. He said: "I will never vote for a bill that will rob the working man of employment. The Wilon bill did that. I will never vote for a bill that will take from the farmer his markets. The Wilson bill did that. I will never vote for a bill that will shake confidence from one end of the country to the oth er. The "Wilson bill did that. "In Justice to myself I will say one word about myself accused of stealing a nomination. A man writes a letter to the first voters- that Curtis secured his nomination by fraud. The idea of a man in Kansas being charged with stealing anything from Cy Leland and old Dan Anthony. If anyone was able to steal anything from them he ought to have a monument. In the Holton convention I had 67 uncontested votes out of 129. two more than enough to nominate. Here is a blanket ticket used to defeat me in Leavenworth and a pink ticket used in Doniphan county. I never used a pink ticket nor a blanket ticket to secure a nomination and I never will." In closing his speech Mr. Curtis said: "The people who vote for me will nev er, from any action of mine, regret that they voted for Charles Curtis." The meeting was late in beginning and by the time Congressman Curtis finished people began leaving the hall. Homer Hoch was the next speaker but throughout his speech there was such a noise and so much confusion that he could hardly be heard. By the time he finished his rather lengthy speech only a -corporal's guard was left in the Aud itorium. Mr. Hoch said, "The Demo cratic party in looking for ancestors went back to Thomas Jefferson. The Democratic party was not born till 40 years after his time. Things have changed since. The Democrats have always been, for- free, trade but Jeffer son was for a tariff. The Democratic party is against expansion but Jeffer son was an expansionist." Young Hoch, who Is a son of the can didate for governor, is a good speaker. Those who heard him were well pleas-1 ed and had he been given a place early in the evening his speech would have received marked attention.

WESTERN BASEBALL GOSSIP- St. Joe Is to Lose Its Place In Western League. This morning's Kansas City Journal prints the following baseball story which is interesting as a testimonial to a similar prognostication made in the Topeka State Journal two months ago: "According to William A. Rourke, of the Omaha Western League club, at .Joseph may be dropped from the West ern League circuit next year and Lin coln, Neb., substituted. Rourke stopped in Chicago Tuesday on his way to Omaha from New York, where he at tended the meeting of the NatioJial Association, and while in the Windy City he gave out an interview on Western League affairs in which he said that the circuit would be mater ially changed before the opening of next season. 'The club in St. Joseph failed to prove an attraction this season, Rourke is Quoted as saying, 'and the attendance was discouraginely small, Lincoln is anxious for a franchise and the citv is favored bv the Western League for membership. There will be other changes in all probability, but what they are will not be decided up on until the meeting of the league Is held.' "Baseball fans may behold some startling changes in league circuits be fore the opening of the season next spring. Many have already been hint ed at. In the big leagues there is talk of an amalgamation and the adoption of a 12-club circuit. Rumors of changes In the American Association are rife, and with the Western League a shifting about of the franchises is a positive necessity. And the Missouri Vallev league must not be overlooked. A change in either the association or the Western League circuit will almost certainly mean a change in the circuit of the valley league, as me ciud own ers of the Shivelv organization are only too anxious to expand and would pounce upon vacated territory upon a moment's notice. "Should the proposed dropping of St. Joseph from the Sexton league come to pass It is not altogether wthout the realm of possibility that the up-river city would be supplied with baseball of the Missouri Valley brand next sea son. "The trend of the Western League is toward the west. Talk of seizing up on Victor and Cripple Creek shows a desire on the part of the magnates to make the Western league more com pact so as to cut down transportation. This was one of the severest drains upon the league's "resources last year, especially since the attendance was &o light. In Omaha the teams played to the biggest crowds on the entire cir cuit, while the attendance in Denver and Colorado Springs was only fair. An immense economy in transportation could be effected by forming a com pact circuit with Denver as the center. Such a circuit might include Lincoln, Neb. Denver, Omaha, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek. Victor andSalt Lake City. Or Cheyenne, Wyo., might be substituted for Victor." THEY HAVE GIVEN VP. Fight on Vaccination by East Siders Is Abandoned. Acting under the advice of Dr. S. G. Stewart, Dr. C F, Menninger and Dr. AV. S. Lindsay, the people living down In East Topeka who have been refus ing to vaccinate their children under the order of the board of health, de cided at their meeting last night to comply with the "Order of the board, and have the children vaccinated. A committee was appointed, how ever, to present to the council a peti tion asking that the present city ordi nance giving the board of health the right to require the vaccination of school children be amended so that it will curtail to some extent the power of the board. The committee was composed of C. H. Roof. George Par ker, Mr. Sims and Mr. Jones, all resi dents of that part of twon. The meeting was held at Chris id dnra fin Fast Eiehth. avenue. just across the Shunganunga bridge, and was attended by about fifty resi dents of that part of twon who are opposed to vaccination. These fifty people have refused to have their chil dren vaccinated, and the authorities have refused to allow the children to come to school without vaccination. The situation was in a deadlock, and there were some indications that legal proceedings might be taken to compel the city to amend its orders. The three prominent doctors who attend ed the meeting last night explained the situation in such a way that the people seemed to come to the conclu sion that their best course would be to abide by the decision of the board for the present. They will, however, make a strong effort to have the law changed. WAR DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES. They Show a Considerable Reduction From Those of Last Year. Washington, Nov. 3.

STOCKS A sprinkling of small losses amongst the promirnt stocks today made the open.ng market irregular, but ther.; was great strength and activity amongst a number of special stod;s. The dividend of 1 per cent came out of UnKed States Steel preferred, but on running sales of i.00 shares it recovered point of that amount. Six thousand shares of Hock Is land sold at J4 and S4"4, compared with 34 last night, and 4,600 snares of Amalga mated Copper sold at 73i and 73'o. com pared with 73 last night. The price sub sequently ran off to 73. There were deal ings in blocks of 3,000 to 5,000 shares in United States Steel at an advance of 5 points and the demand for Smelting was very active at an advance of ?i point. Activity and strength centered in the in dustrials and metal stocks during the first hour. Railroads pursued a contrary course, but the recession in the Paciiics and grangers was slight. Rock Island lost its advance. The Pennsylvania group ex hibited firmness, Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western rose a point, but the Eries and New York Central were heavy. Amalgamated Copper suffered from a spasm of realizing and lost a point. On the other hand United States Steel pre ferred. Tennessee Coal, Colorado Fuel, Pressed Steel and Sugar rose 1 to 2 points. The gains in specialties were reduced from a large fraction to a point, the lat ter in Sugar and Colorado Fuel. Penn sylvania reacted 1 point and over night losses of 1 point were established in Un ion Pacific, Atchison, Reading, Dehtware and Hudson, Erie second preferred and Paper preferred. United States Reduc tion preferred dropped 1 points on one sale, compared with the preceding sale in June of last year. International Power lost 3Vi points. There were gains of 1 point in Linseed, United States Leather preferred and Texas Pacific. 3 points in Corn products preferred and 5 points in Snuff. Prices improved before noon. Bonds were firm at noon. Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Republic Steel preferred were the latest additions to the upward movement in the special ties and the advance of a point was sup plemented by renewed advances in Ten nessee Coal to 61 points. Railway stocks meanwhile pursued their dragging course of the morning and Union Paciiic, Missou ri Pacific, Rock Island, Erie and Louis villlc and Nashville worked lower, the two last named yielding a point. Earlier losses in special stocks were quite generally made up, particularly J St. Paul, Pennsylvania, Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper. St. Paul rose point over last night. The buying of the western stocks and Amalgamated Copper was insistent for a time, but their im provements caused only a slightly higher level for the general market. Sloss-Shef-field stock gave point. Steel Foundries preferred 1 points and some of the other metal stocks Increased their gain. Pitts burg. C.

A shooting af fray with many features resembling the High Binder outrages of the San Fran cisco Chinese quarter which occurred in Chinatown today, may result in the death of Mock Duck, one of the most prominent members of the reform ele ment in the local Chinese colony. Mock was waylaid as he was passing through Pell street and one of two bullets fired at him lodged in his abdomen, making an extremely dangerous wound. When his assailant, who was captured as he was running away was being taken to the patrol box by a policeman the cou ple were surrounded by three other Chinamen with drawn revolvers de manding the release of the prisoner. The situation was becoming serious In the East OF all the colleges now devel oping football teams Harvard has probably the most dim cult task. Only three men of last year's eleven have returned to the university. They are Captain Harley and Don Nichols, the varsity halfbacks of a year ago, and Harry Le Moyne, the big Boston lad who shone as guard. There Is doubt as to whether or not Nichols will be able to "make" the var sity team, and consequently Captain Hurley and the coaches find themselves confronted by the possibility of having to "break in" nine new men. Harry Le Moyne. Le Moyne, however, is one of -the (nost valuable men that Harvard could obtain from the team of 1903. He is a splendid all around player, equally good on the line and behind it. He is also a star baseball player, a record holding swimmer and a fair sprinter. Le Moyne first made his reputation In athletics when a student at the Bos Ion Latin school. Several colleges of fered him inducements, but naturally his choice fell upon the institution in HAGGERTT, THE SOTED IRISH SWIMMKR. John Haggerty is world renowned as a long distance swimmer. A London newspaper recently made him a big offer to swim across the English chan nel. With two other men, Holbein and Oreasley. Haggerty attempted the per ilous feat. The coldness of the water and the swift current, however, obliged him to abandon his efforts after ten Bill had been covered. f I f t r A 1'- i when a. dozen reserves who had been summoned arrived, on the scene. The reserves found the policeman and his prisoner backed up in a doorway, the officer holding back three armed China men. The would be rescuers fled when the reinforcements arrived.' The man under arrest is Lee Sing, a laundryman. Mock Dock was tried for the murder of a fellow Chinaman about two years ago. but was acquitted. Immediately after his release from prison he became active in reform circles in the Chinese quarter, in co-operation with the Park hurst society. By his work Mock had gained the enmity of many of his fel low countrymen, against whom the work of the society was directed and he had frequently been, threatened with death. YOrXG THAW RETURNS.... Brings Miw.s Xesbitt With Hint But Not as Bride New York. Nov. 3. Harry K. Thaw, the young Pittsburg millionaire, who is said to have been summoned home by his family because of the rumor of his marriage to Miss EL S. Nesbitt, the actress and "artist's model, arrived here on the North German Lld-d express steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II. Miss Nesbitt was with him, and both denied the story of the marriage. They engaged passage after the pas senger list was made up, booking as Harry K. Thaw and Miss E. S. Nesbitt. They kept very much to themselves during the entire voyage, and when they came down the gangplank after the big vessel docked at Hoboken Miss Nesbitt was supported on the young man's arm. Both seemed in high spirits, and when Mr. Thaw was asked if it was true that he had married Miss Nesbitt abroad and was bringing his bride home to introduce her to his family, he smiled and said: It is not true that we have been married. Further than that I will not discuss the matter." Mr. Thaw left the care of his lug gage to a valet and drove away in a hansom with Miss Nesbitt still cling ing to him affectionately. When she was asked about the reported mar riage, as she was stepping into the hansom, she said: "You heard what Mr. Thaw said," and, with a laugh, stepped quickly into the vehicle. RUNAWAY LAD IN PRISON. Iowa Boy in Trouble Breaks Silence in the Philippines. Des Moines, la., Nov. 3. To rescue a 17-year-old Iowa boy from five years' im prisonment on a desert island in the Phil ippines is a task which Congressman J. A. T. Hull of this district has undertaken. H. R. Proudfoot of this city received a letter from his nephew, Clarence Hender son, disclosing his whereabouts. Several years ago the lad ran away from his home in Mount Ayr and had never been heard of until his letter ar rived. Through some scheme he managed to get a forged consent of his parents to enter the government service. He went to the Philippines, where he was sen tenced to 90 days for some breach of mil itary rules. He says he became stubborn and re fused to perform the work assigned to him. For insubordination he was then brought before the military tribunal and sentenced to five years. He is imprisoned at Malar island in Lagunada bay. $7.60 to St. Louis and Return, Via Rock Island System. Tickets on sale daily, except fc'riday and Saturday, good 7 days in St Louis. Htk.rvo.rd Yale Princeton Columbia Cornell West Point 1 his own state. It is needless to add that he is the greatest athletic "find" in the history of Harvard. Possible Quarterbacks. The breaking in of a large number ol new men is always a grave responsibil ity, but the Harvard coaches have be gun the work with characteristic rim. Starr of the Groton (Maas.) school is the likeliest recruit. No less an au thority than Walter Camp, chairman of the intercollegiate rules committee, states that Starr is very close ro the top rank among the quarterbacks of America. It is almost certain that Starr will be Harvard's field general during the coming campaign. Dillon, from Andover, is another quarterback possibility. Harrison, Phil Mills and Jim Mont gomery are substitute players of last year who are likely to win places on the varsity. Harrison won his "H" in the Harvard-Pennsylvania game in 1903. Mills was the regular end on Captain Kernan's team two years ago, but he was not considered good enough for last season. Brill, the old Exeter tackle, is now at Harvard. He weighs 20S pounds, but is very fast and should "make" the team. Captain Harley will, of course, hold down his old position at right half. Prospects at Yale. The Yale football squad has been in creased to forty men by recent arriv als. Bowman is back at New Haven, much to the gratification of all the team's followers. Bowman, baseball captain and crack all around athlete, is a reliable back who has proved his ability in a scere of gridiron battles. Other men of last year's team who will again wear Ell uniforms are Tom Shevlin and Ralph Bloomer, to say nothing of Captain Hogan, the famous tackle. Rockwell, last year's quarter, is also in training. He will hold down the same position as heretofore. The former captain of the Amherst eleven. J. J. Quill, who is now study ing at Yale, should prove a strong can didate for fullback. At Princeton. Princeton's able warriors are rallying under the standard of Captain Foulke. Foulke is optimistic and believes that he will repeat the victory of Captain De Witt's team of 1903 over the Yale braves. The Yale-Princeton game will be played Nov. 12 at Princeton. Enough members of last year's team have returned to make confidence a feature of conditions at the Jersey uni versity. The Cornell Situation. More than thirty men are now dally ing with the oval pigskin at Cornell. Head Coach Glen S. Warner and As- AMD Miscellaneous fbt.L AN A. X. T.

New York, recently Right Fielder Willie Keeler and Catcher Bevllle were snapped by a -watchful photog rapher. Keeler was in the act of making one of his aggravating bunts that have done much to make him famous from ocean to ocean. sistant Coaches Lueder and Kent are not idle a moment. The old players who are trying for places are Halliday, Newman, Rice, Costello, Hackstaff and Forgy. The quarterback position will prob ably be taken care of by Captain Ly nah. Newman, last year's center,-will en deavor to get the place again. Hack staff and Forgy are after their old po sitions on the ends of the line. Two new men. Hart and Sheldon", each weighing 190 pounds, are likely looking candidates for the line. Columbia's Heavy Men. Columbia is depending chiefly on weight to win her battles this fall. She has a group of heavy men that few other colleges will be able to dupli cate. The blue and white line should be almost impregnable. Like the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, Columbia has suffered much through lack of weight in recent years, and now this handicap seems to have been removed. Coach Morley of Columbia is an ex pert in every branch of the game and should develop a winning aggregation, something Columbia has net had of late. Captain Stangland's one ambition is to defeat Yale. A battle royal will oc cur when these two old time rivals clash in November. Columbia Versus Michigan. The much talked of game between Columbia and the University of Michi gan will prove to be one of the most interesting gridiron events of recent years if It is definitely arranged. As the negotiations now stand the two teams will probably play in New York on Thanksgiving day. We will then have a splendid oppor tunity to compare the work of eastern and western teams. Judging by the past. Michigan should defeat Columbia easily. The Ann Ar WANTED -MALE HELP.

ATE THE SCARECROW'S STUFFING Two of the "props" called for in "The Wizard of Oz" are a live horse and a bundle of hay. These two arti cles when separate are all right, but when they come together there is, in the language of the street, "something doing," as Fred A. Stone found, to his cost recently in Brooklyn, where "The Wiaard" was playing. The horse is used in the first act of the extravaganza. In the scene which depicts a farm in Kansas prior to its being swept by a cyclone, a diversion which the inhabitants of that state are ai:custemed to regard as a common place occurrence. Mr. Stone plays the part of a scare crow, and the bundle of hay Is put in his dressing room each night to be used in making up the character and is one of the most important adjuncts to the welfare of the performance. In Brooklyn the task of securing a horse for the scene had been left to the property man of the theater, and that individual, being of an economical turn of mind, had made arrangements with a nearby Italian fruit vender for the loan of a Dobbin who, like Cassius, presented "a lean aua r.ungry" appear ance. On the night in question Mr. Stone, who had been to dinner with some friends, arrived late at the theater, and, his dressing room door being locked, the hay for his makeup 'had been de posited just outside. The weary nag, who cared naught for histrionic hon ors, spied the hay. To him it undoubt edly appealed in the same way that a "hot bird and a cold bottle" or a "broiled lobster" would to a chorus girl. He bided his time until his attendant was not looking, then ambled in a care less manner toward the dressing room, being careful not to attract the atten- K4 FOR SALE Cheap, piano, organ and bug gy. 413 Kan. ave., upstairs, room 4.

Then he went back to his plac in a self satisfied way that denoted th possession of a full stomach for once ii his life and was all ready to play hi. part. At this time Stone arrived in a grea hurry to get ready for his evening' work. There was nothing with whlc to upholster the scarecrow. He calle for the property man. "Where is my hay?" inquired Stone. The property man had placed it ir. front of his doo.. "It is not here now," said the come dian. "Find it for me quick." It could not be found, however, anr both Stone and the property man de elded that some enemy had done th. foul deed. Finally a demure little chorus gir who was afraid of horses and did ni dare "tell" on the equine confessed tha she saw the purloining of the hay, an all was explained. But the curtain ha to be held for fifteen minutes whll the stage hands scoured the adjoin in streets for a livery stable to secure stuffing fo- the scarecrow. LAWSON, WORLD'S CHAMPION. Iver Lawson of Salt Lake City Is th first American cyclist to hold the ac tual world's championship, which hone he won in the international champion ship meets held at the Crystal Falac (London) track recently. The recor made by American riders in this meet ing by which our country won four ou of five championship events has neve been equaled during the twelve year, of the international events. Marcus Hurley, the American ama teur champion, won the two kilomete (1.5 miles) race for amateurs, defeatln; Al Reed, former champion, and Ben von, also an Englishman. The timt was 7:07 2-5. The winner was cheeret by the 15,000 spectators, and the banc played "Yankee Doodle" as he clrclec the track. Lawson won the two kilometer racr for professionals, in which he defeatec Meyer of Germany and Ellegaard, for mer champion of Denmark. Lawson and Hurley furnished a sen sation in the final for the world's cham pionship at two-thirds of a mile; won by Lawson by fifteen yards. "FANTANA." In no other field perhaps Is up tc dateness so much required as in theat ricals. The play enjoying public is er rapport with the events of the day, anc it enjoys the mirror held up to it or the stage. "Fantana," the comic opera in which Jefferson De Angells is to stai under direction of Sam S. Shubert, tells a story of Japan, and there are fre quent references to the Russian Japa nese war. Mr. De Angells is said to have an exceptionally good part in the piece. FIFE SCHOONER SUSANNE.

The medical profession will soon be lost to sight: Throw away your pills galore. You won't need them any more, fust eat a big round apple and you'll be all right. New York Sun. Thanksgiving Is three weeks from to day. to you know where you are to vote? The Washburn quartette sang at RossviHe last week. -Gen. J. W. F. Hughes was initiated into the Elks last night. The K. O. T. M of Topeka will meet tonight at K. of L. hall. Sam Lakin, end of the Washburn football team, is studying law this year. Kills Custer, formerly of Topeka. is now- living at his old home at Easton, Fa. Apples are now in the market in fcoxes labeled "Reno county, Kansas, apples." The forges for the manual training school look like warming pans or pan cake cookers. -The work of rebuilding the Jackson gect line of the street railway is pro (rrsing rapidly. This' Is officially Indian summer. Weather Director Jennings has made the announcement. Still another story is being built on the spire of the new Baptist church at Ninth and Jackson streets. It Is about time for the turkey ten ders to say the crop is short and that the price for turkey must go up. After an absence of almost a week, tomatoes have again made their ap pearance on the Topeka market. Eugene Ware, jr., bought in the ICnox homestead for his father when It was sold yesterday by the sheriff. -Congressman Curtis, Judge R. F. Hayden and J. B. Betts will address a campaign meeting at Rossville Friday night. F. Montgomery, assistant weather observer at the Topeka office, has re turned from a trip to the St. Louis ex position. The ballots for the election next Tuesday will be sent to the polling places from the court house in heavy jute sacks. A. K. Rodgers, assistant postmaster, say he doesn't know a, thing about politics as government employes are not -supposed to know. j J. A. Donahue will have charge of the Elks" minstrels and will coach the cen ter rush, the end men, the half backs and the ticket takers. E. L. Taylor, traveling auditor of the Santa Fe at Trinidad, is at the Topeka hospital of the Santa Fe where he will undergo an operation. "TC S. Paxton Is in a quandary today, lie" received a postal card inviting him to call at some one's store and no name ;was signed to the card. A marriage license was issued in Kansas City Wednesday to William J. Morrison of Topeka and Margaret Mc Mahon of Pittsburg. Kansas. Henri Strawn has returned from a photographing trip to Colorado. He made a large number of views of Colo rado and western Kansas -scenery. As October was the driest October for 38 years some people say it is an indi cation that next year will be semi-dry end at least there will be no floods. ..You can vote Tuesday asiearly as six o'clock in the morning or as late rta six o'clock in the afternoon. After that there will be nothing left to do but to shout. A dense fog hangs over the city ev ery morning. It is doubtless caused by the atmospreric conditions which keep fmoke from many piles of burning leaves from ascending. -.-Chairman Phillips, of the Republi-; can county central committee, thinks the shortage in the number of reg istrations is due to the failure of the Democrats to register. Bets on the election are not beins made very fast in Topeka. At one public place where bets are posted less than a dozen political bets have been made. Does everybody know? The Primary Sunday School unio will meet Friday at 3 p. m. at the home of Mrs. H. W. Baumgartner. 1;J3 Mulvane street. The meeting is to re organize for the winter's work. County Clerk Newman says the ink used in the court house offices is good ink. Some of the clerks say that it ours and gets thick. They may be thinking of milk instead of ink. .Probate Judge Hayden. who has been making a good many speeches the county campaign, says he thinks his voice will last until the shouting is over on election night but he-Is not certain. The following appeared in this morn ing's Kansas City Times: "A. B. Jam ison, superintendent of the state free employment bureau, has received a let ter' from a Topeka carpenter who wafits a wife. The carpenter recites that he is 39 years old, a widower and the .father of "three wild, woolly kids." He says he has been trying to run a household at $3 per, and that he wants a good Christian, red or light-haired widow for a wife. I am a Methodist as far as Christianity goes,' the letter says; 'but I am too full of nonosense to pay much attention to religious af fairs. The remainder of the Washburn foot ball schedule is: November 5, Man hattan; November 12, St. Marys at To peka; November 16, Missouri Varsity at Columbia; November 19, Haskell at To peka; November 24, Ottawa at Topeka. A week ao Weather Director Jen nings had storm windows put in place at the weather bureau office. Since then the office has been like a bake oven and the director of the weather would like to direct a cold wave this way. Sunday a Topeka councilman wished to talk with another. councilman by telephone. He called up the wrong man and when he asked where the secret meeting was to be held the man who wasn't a councilman told him a few things over the telephone about secret meetings. Marriage licenses were issued in the probate court Wednesday to Charles R. Helwig and Lucinda Hendricks, both of Topeka: Claud Day of Topeka and Gertrude Peterton of Randolph, Mo.; Hiram Kingsbury of South McAllester, I. T., and Jennie M. Taylor of Topeka. Those who have seen the door keepers at the auditorium, the gate keepers at the fair grounds and base ball park, take tickets and drop them into a box with a slot in it will rec ognize those as the ballot boxes on election day. A sample votfng machine is on exhi bition in the Commercial club office at the Copeland hotel and all visitors are entitled to a vote. Major Anderson hopes to use the machine as an educa tional factor to show that Kansas should adopt that method of voting. The cider-doughnut episode was a po litical move after all and the Washburn Review explains it by saying: No cider and doughnuts. The young Democrats of the college are given the credit of inciting the faculty to withhold its consent to the use of cider at the Re publican jollification meeting last Fri day night. We are not certain what share the demo's had in it or how much glee it afforded them. The dis pensing of cider in the chapel was held to be unbearable and then to let a po litical party do the treating seemed al most too realistic TOPEKA WOMAN BURNED Fatal Accident to Mrs. M. M. Pennies in Atchison. Atchison, Kas., Nov. 3. Mrs. M. M. Peebles of Topeka, who came here two weeks ago to take charge of cottage No. 3 at the Soldiers' Orphans' home, was fatally burned at 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon by an explosion of paraffine and turpentine. Mrs. Peebles had charge of several score of chil dren in the cottage. She was heating the paraffine and wax to polish the floors when the mixture exploded, burning her about the body. Fearing the building would catch Are, Mrs. Peebles carried the burning mixture out of the building. She died at 8 o'clock last night. SI-RE OF WEST VIRGINIA. Republicans Declare the Democrats Can't Buy It. Parkersburg, W. Va, Nov. 3. It is the opinion of the Republican chair man, Mr. Northcutt, that the Demo crats cannot throw enough money into West Virginia between, now and elec tion day to defeat the Roosevelt elec tors. He is confident of the election of Dawson, but the possibility of the de feat of the Republican candidate for governor through the extravagant use of money is admitted. Standard Oil nas now shown its hand in West Vir. ginia politics this year. In two pre vious campaigns it has been friendly to the Republican candidates. The most Republicans hope for is inactivi ty on the part of the oil magnates. The local producers are against the Re publican state ticket almost to a man. They insist, however, that this oppo sition does not extend to the national and congressional tickets. The Republicans have attempted to introduce national issues into their campaign because of the indifference of the Democratic voters to Parker. Democratic orators and newspapers have ignored the arguments and cen tered their fight on local candidates. The Democrats have not even at tempted to ascertain how the state stands on the national ticket. They do not know whether Cornwell, the Democratic nominee, will run 10,000 ahead of Parker or 25,000. Apparent ly they do not care. The race question has been forced to the front sufficient ly to thoroughly arouse the negroes. Under the circumstances it is fortu nate for the Republicans that this is true. TOPEKA THE CENTER. CANKER. SOKES .-Obstinate cases of Cancrum Oris have tsen relieved after three or four applica tions of OZODONT V. LIQUID A complete cure has been effected within a week from three applications a day. It is a wonderful dentifrice. Nothing to equal it. ITCLEANSES. HEALS. PRESERVES. FORMS s LIQUID. POWDER. PASTB. Nearly AH Ballots in Kansas Arc Furnished Here. The election has made considerable work and worry for various people in Topeka and some people outside of Topeka who came here to do part of their worrying. Sumner county was without any ballots or any indications of ballots until Sunday. A. A. Richards came to Topeka Saturday on a hurry up trip and while here bought the paper to be used for the Sumner county bal lots. He stood guard all Saturday afternoon while the paper was being cut and trimmed and he took it with him when he returned to Wellington. The Topeka Paper company has sent out several car loads of ballot paper to Kansas towns and a good deal to Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma and some to Nebraska. Topeka print ing houses have printed thousands of ballots with the state and county tick ets and left blanks for township tick ets and sent them to various counties. Topeka establishments have also fur nished hundreds of poll books to all parts of the state. During the past few days printers have found them selves short of ballot paper and have telegraphed in orders for an extra supply. IT WON'T REACH TOPEKA. "Tlie Russian Spy" Is Stranded at Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs, la.. Nov. 3. The New York company, playing "The Russian Spy," under the management of Robert Bruce Clark and in which Miss Camille Dagmar is starring, is stranded in this city. The members of the company have attached all the visible property of the show to pro tect salary claims. H. S. Sire, a mil lionaire horse owner and backer of theatrical, companies, is said to be the flnpnruai backer of this company. 9 This is our house cleaning day. It's the day we reduce the prices on remnants and odds and ends to make quick selling. The persons who buy the Remnant Day specials are assured of the very best kind of bargains.

Yet we reduce the prices on remnants. This is the reason: There may be a 5-yard length left from a bolt of calico; it isn't often that a cus tomer will want just that number of yards in that pattern, therefore the remnant remains unsold; by gathering all these short pieces together on a special day each week attention is called to them, and by reducing the prices more customers who need rem nants of such materials will come to buy.

The county commissioners have de cided that the county poor farm must be more productive and more nearly self-supporting, and next spring more of the land than has ever before been cultivated will be planted to crops. This winter the commissioners will have men at work clearing off some of the land on the poor farm which has grown up to underbrush. The newly cleared land will be plowed and plant ed. The poor farm has never been made to bring in any great returns and the commissioners have thought of many ways to make It help pay for the care of the poor at the home. The commissioners once thought of having a herd of sheep or goats but gave up that idea. Now the land will all be used for gardens and pastures. New Consul From Mexico. San Francisco, Nov. 3.
