H If Lawson DiTides American People Into Two Classes. Devotes His Speech to the "System" at Chautauqua. MONEY BEAT BRYAN. Says Rogers Expended 555,000, 000 on Election. Declares Roosevelt Is Powerless to Remedy Conditions. .Remedy to to Fight "System. With Its Own Weapons. Ottawa, Kan., July 8. Thomas W. Luwson oC Boston, addressed a great crowd at the Chautauqua assembly here this afternoon. He spoke of the "System." Mr. Lawson arrived at noon from Kansas City, where he and Wil liam T. Jerome, district attorney of New York City, were the guests of THOMAS W. honor last night at the monthly dinner of the Knife and Fork cub. Mr.' Lawson said in part: Two factors are inevitable in every robbery the robber and the robbed. Most people fool themselves with the belief that a robber makes a robbery. This is an error. There must be a vic tim some one who submits to being lobbed. Without a victim the boldest highwayman on earth is as impotent hs a pump in a dry well. All robbers become honest men or convicts when the other party in the affair refuses to participate. When you hear a great people com Tlain of being robbed, don't be indig nant. Get disgusted. To an individual who has been held up and made to dis gorge, some sympathy may be due, for he, perhaps, has been caught unawares, or overpowered, but when a great, free people is robbed, somewhere their man hood must be at fault. Between robber and the robbed the wide difference is all in favor of the robber. He has a motive for his act frain. The robbed loses. In robbery there is excitement: being robbed is a humil iation. To rob, one must have pluck aiid nerve; the robbed who do not re sent are cowards. The robber transgresses the laws of Cod and man, but they who allow themselves to be robbed infringe the laws of manhood and the first law of nature self-preservation. Robbery is no new invention. It has existed since the world began. Slavery is its twin, brother. The fabric of civili zation represents the organization of society against robbery. Robbery is where one takes from an other without his "by your leave" that which the other does not desire to part with. Slavery is the condition of sub jecticn of the will of another by habit. When a great free people submit to being robbed they are on the way to being made slaves. Slavery as surety follows robbery endured as the bit and saddle the capture of the mustang. His Mission to the West. I have come to Kansas on a sim ple mission to point out to you that the American people are being rob bed, by whom, how and what the con sequences will be If the robbery is not Stayed, and an example made of the robbers. I know whereof I speak, and I know my audience. Despite its pres ent supineness I know that when the American people digest the brutal facts that I have to lay before them, and realize that they are absolutely in the power of a few men and these few the foulest robbers this side of hell they will stop for one brief min ute to pull themselves together and Men and Women of Kansas No race since Father Time took down his scythe and went forth will bow lower to God's and man's laws than the American people, but let the American people once get it firmly into their lieiids that in their midst is a power working for the annihilation of their comforts, their happiness and t.'ir freedom once let them really mi.ke sure, and they will rise and go forth, end before they return there will have been placed between the covers of history pages that will need no book mark for coming generations to open to: there will have been added to the world's history pages so black and so 1m& w lit vop mm I. m red that those telling of the doings of St. Petersburg and Paris will appear as though printed with chalk and water. You don't like this thought neither do I, but shall I remain silent because the truths I must tell are un palatable and unflattering? It Is my duty to describe to you the terrible conditions I see closing in upon you, so you may be warned before it is too late. What right have I to speak more than another, you ask? I speak of a subject that I have spent my life studying. I know the robbers and their methods. I have hunted with their pack and been har ried by their hounds. I have felt the yoke of the "System" round my own neck and have thrown it off. Mine Is a voice from the prison house, and my statements are not the assumptions of a closet financier or a book-worm student. I speak out of a full knowl edge of the facts, and I demand your attention because you need the assist ance I can render to you. He Wants No Money Nor Votes. Moreover, I am aScing nothing of you but attention to my warning and a fair weighing of my facts. I want nothing of you neither your money nor your votes. Your good will would be precious to me, but that I can do without if you have better uses for it. If you will heed my warning it will be to the everlasting gain of your pockets, your happiness and your self respect. If you continue blind, LAWSON. it will be to awake later with the shackles of servitude irretrievably riv eted on your limbs. It is essential first for you to know the "System's" machine and how it has been operated in the past. I am out here to explain its workings to you. In my story "Frenzied Finance," I have been illustrating to the Ameri can people by means of live examples exactly how the wheels within wheels turn and how the teeth and cogs by wmcn tne grinders revolve, are fitted into one another. The "System" is not desirous that you should have the knowledge that I am about to impart to you. They know that once you are aware of how the grinding and twist ing is done, that being in the greater number, and with the laws of God and man around you, you will send them through the rollers and around the flywheels where you yourselves have been spun. To discredit my revela tion, they have taken grat pains and spent much money to prove that I am crazy and a horse thief, a pickpocket, a gambler and an all around rascal. I am none of these things, but just an ordinary American like the rest of you, who has been fortunate enough to learn the workings of the machine without first taking any oath of se crecy as to its hidden gears or levers, and who is free to do his duty to his countrymen by disclosing to them, its plans- Any One Can Understand Finance. I am about to enter upon an ex planation of certain economic and financial conditions in our country, and this is as good a place as any to notify you that the high mystery woven round finance by the "System's" opin ion moulders that great army of newspapers, banking, insurance and railroad men, politicians and statesmen who are directly or indirectly in the pay of Standard Oil, the beef trust, corporations or individuals is all moonshine. These henchmen have preached day in and day out that the handling of the big financial affairs of the country constituted a problem far beyond the understanding of the people. By dint of frequent repetition the masses have come to regard finance and its different branches, money, insurance, banking, trusts and the stock exchange, very much in the same light as the higher mathematics, astronomy or Sanscrit deep and in tricate studies which take a lifetime to understand. You will not, you plain people of Kansas, mind if I use the blunt terms of ordinary life, but this talk of mysteriousness is just the con juror's -patter to draw your attention away from his apparatus where the magic is being performed it's abso lutely rot and put forth to assist the "System" in buncoing you out of your savings. You all have met millionaires many of you have known in their youth men who have become eminent bankers and financiers. I ask you if these men seemed more gifted, more brainy than you? Smarter and shrewder perhaps, but did it strike you that they could grasp, great prob lems you were debarred from under standing? I'm sure it did not. The truth is that there is nothing about (Continued on Page Six. SURRENDERED. Mutinous Crew of the Kniaz Potemkine Gives Up. Also That of Her Consort, the Torpedo Boat. NOT TO THE RUSSIANS. The Vessels Are Turned Over to Roumanian Authorities. Mutineers Are Sent Into the Interior in Small Parties. Kustenji, Roumania, July 8. The mu tinous crews of the Kniaz Potemkine and her consort, the rebel torpedo boat, have surrendered to the Roumanian authorities, have been landed and are now being dispatched in small parties to different places in Roumania, Kustenji, Roumania, July 8. The flag of St. Andrew once again floats over the battleship Kniaz Potemkine and the torpedo boat which have proved such terrors to the Black sea communities for a couple of weeks past. The formal surrender of the mutinuous crews actually occurred at 1 o clock this afternoon after a series of discussions and negotiations be tween the Roumanian authorities and the leaders of the mutiny. The Roumanian officers who board ed the battleship on her arrival here called upon the crew to surrender in which case they would be treated as foreign deserters or else le.ave the port tortnwitn. it speedily Decame appar ent that the Russian vessels returned to this port with the intention of giving themselves up to a foreign government and the crews soon announced their acceptance of the Roumanian- terms. The mutineers wanted to take off the treasury which was on board the Kniaz Potemkine but the authorities declined to acquiesce. The Russians will gradually be con veyed to any frontier they may select and will then be liberated, the local officials having given an understand ing to this effect. The Roumanian flag has been hoisted over the Russian war vessel as well as the Russian so as to prevent any attack on them in Roumanian waters by the vessels of the Russian squadron which are re ported to be in pursuit of the mutineers. MIKADO'S MEN START. Japan's Peace Plenipotentiaries Sail for America. Yokohama, July 8. The steamer Min nesota of the Great Northern line hav ing on board the Japanese peace pleni potentiaries sailed from this port for Seattle at 4:30 this afternoon. The gov ernor of Yokohama and civic bodies escorted the plenipotentiaries to the pier where they were received by a .mili tary guard. At the pier plenipotentiar ies and their suites entered launches and were conveyed to the Minnesota which was dressed with flags as were all the other ships in the harbor. The Marquis Ito, Premier Katsura, the other members of the cabinet, Mr. Griscom, the American minister, and the staff of legation were among those who accompanied Baron Komura and his oarty to the Minnesota. An enor mous crowd of Japanese and foreigners with bands of music assembled at the water front and general enthusiasm was manifested, bands playing patri otic airs and the crowds discharging fireworks. On arriving on board the Minnesota Baron Komura and those who accompanied him partook of a collation after which the ship sailed amidst a storm of banzais. The Jap anese guards fired a salute of 19 guns as the Minnesota put to sea escorted by a torpedo boat and a naval steamer specially detailed to convoy her out of Tokio bay. OUT OF ITS BANKS. Overflowed Much Territory East and West of Fort Riley. Junction City, Kan., July 8. The Republican and Smoky Hill rivers continued to rise here all of Friday. Dykes that were built along the Smoky Hill this spring are keeping hundreds of acres of the best farming lands in the county from being covered and cut up by the overflow. The Smoky Hill is up about 15 feet. Friday the Republican went out of its banks at many places in the county. It was out Thursday at several places, but Friday it has been doing a great amount of damage to roads and iow lying wheat fields. The county roads in the north part of the county along the river are now under several feet of water at many places. An approach to the Republican river bridge here is in danger of being, washed out. The Kaw .was out of its banks both east and west of Fort Riley, and has overflowed a large area of timber land on the reservation. The Union Pacific has not operated any trains on the Belleville branch from here for two days, and the officials say they don't know when they will be able to resume service, as the road is washed out at a number of places. Manhattan, Kan., July 8. The Kaw river rose nearly a foot Friday, and a steady rise continues, ,with the gauge at 14 feet. There is no danger antici pated here from high water. The new channel cut during the flood of 1903, which straightened a large bend in the river, and made a short cut of nearly two miles, has relieved the danger from floods in this vicinity consider ably. Mrs. Cunningham Is Released. Mrs. Vashti Cunningham was yester day released from the county jail where she served six months' sentence imposed upon her for being an accessory to the crime committed by her husband "in stealing Chester Woodward's automo bile. W. B. Cunningham, her husband, is still in the penitentiary at Lansing serving his sentence. Mrs. Cunningham announced that she would go to Lansing to visit her husband. The Cunninghams stole Mr. Woodward's automobile and drove it through Kansas and Missouri to Illinois. Mrs. Cunningham was ar rested by John Wilkerson at her home in Geneva, Ohio, and her husband was captured iu Lima THERE ISA CLASH Receivers of Devlin Properties and Bank Differ. Former Want to TakeAll Devlin Properties. QUESTION ABOUT IT. Mr. Bradley Thinks That Bank Can Hold Securities. A. A. Hurd and Cliff Histed, At torneys for Receivers. A. A. Hurd and Clifford Histed were at noon appointed by James E. Hurley and Cyrus Leiand, receivers in bank ruptcy of C. J. Devlin, as.." their at torneys, to advise them. A legal fight will probably ensue between the re ceiver of the First National bank and the receivers appointed by Judge Pol lock for the Devlin properties in the voluntary bankruptcy proceedings over the possession of the $1,180,334 securities and collateral which Mr. C. J. Devlin turned over to the receiv er of the First National. It will be the effort of the receiver of the First National to hold intact the securities for the depositors and keep Cyrus Leiand and James E. Hur ley, receiver in bankruptcy, from call ing those securities into the common pool. That there will be a decided ef fort on the part of the latter gentle men to increase the assets of the com mon pool there is no question and one of the receivers acknowledged that in tention. It was thought yesterday that there was no Question but the property held in favor of the deposi tors at the First National would have to be turned over to the receivers in bankruptcy but temporary Receiver Bradley of the First National rather scouts that idea. There is considerable question," said he, "whether the receivers in bankruptcy can touch these assets of the bank. The bankruptcy law per mits a man to fullfii his pledges made and this would be considered in the nature of a pledge. There is a legal question involved which will have to be determined. An effort will doubt less be made to pool these securities held there with the remainder. The action of voluntary bankruptcy will not aid matters here, if anything it will tend to hinder, the probabilities being mat certain assets will be tied up. From the present rate of progress I doubt very much whether we can make any statement:-1f the condition of the bank before week after next I rather think that we will have to work the whole of next week before we can determine how things stand. We can not make mistakes and the system is very elaborate." Slips will be sent to each depositor and creditor of the bank giving a full statement or the conditions when the report of the temporary receiver is finally ready for publication. F. S. Oldham, an attorney conected with the department of justice at Washing ton, D. C, will arrive to advise Mr. Bradley on the legal aspects of the situation. Robert Lyons, special agent or tne government, is the only other employe of the United States at' work now on the books of the First Nation al, E. F. Ames, bank examiner, having left at noon upon orders from Wash ington. A meeting of the creditors and deposi tors of the First National will be held at the Commercial club rooms Monday evening at 8 o'clock for the purpose of effecting an organization for their mutual protection and benefit. A re quest is made that all of the interested creditors be present. Certain questions which have been agitating the deposi tors with reference to the bank vill be submitted to Receiver Bradley by Sam Radges at an appointed conference ar ranged to be held on Sunday. The re sult of this conference will be made known at the meeting Monday evening. At the present time there are a number of legal questions which are of consid erable interest and which will be con sidered in connection with the other business which comes up Monday even ing. City May Not Be Protected. The $50,000 bond which was signed by M. Snattinger and Major Wm. Sims to secure the $26,000 deposits of the city is perfect according to City Attorney Drenning. The claim that it has lapsed is denied by him. Drenning said: "There is no time limit stated in that bond and ft is as good now as when first signed. I think, however, that the city has been careless in its bonds. It should make the bondsmen sign up each year." M. Snattinger said: "I signed that bond eight years ago when J. was con nected with the First National. I have no interest in the bank now. I had for gotten all about it until it was men tioned in the papers. I haven't signed any bond since that time. I don't know whether it would hold good now or not." "We won't commence action to re cover the amount of the deposits from the bondsmen yet awhile," said Dren ning. "We will wait and see how things come out with the First Na tional' and what sort of statement the receiver will make before we do any thing. It may be possible that we won't have to commence action." That the First National bank hy pothecated most of its best paper is the general rumor upon the streets. Some of this was sold down in Kansas City and- is now appearing in Topeka banksTfor collection. In a great many instances these notes were given by depositors who had accounts at the bank which under ordinary circum stances would have offset to a certain extent, the notes given. But with the notes in the hands of innocent parties the deposits at the First National will not be considered to offset in any man ner the notes which will have to be paid In full by the signers. The loans represented $290,000 and most of this it is understood, was hypothecated. Weather Indications. Chicago, July 8.

SEES RAYOF HOPE Mr. Devlin Insists His Properties Will Pay Out. George R. Peck Arrives in Topeka Today. HE TALKS HOPEFULLY. Has "Positive Knowledge" Cred itors Will Be Paid. Receiver Hurley Arrives and Holds a Conference. "If I have lost evervthins: else. I have one coal mine in Illinois which will pay off all my indebtedness." unaries J. Devlin to Clifford Histed. his attorney. "Mr. Devlin is sick from a blood-clot on his brain. I saw him Friday afternoon and his improvement is marked. He is almost uncontrollably anxious to get out. I think a month will see him back in the harness. Then watch him make things hum." Clifford Histed. To his attorney, Clifford Histed, C. J. Devlin Friday afternoon talked with quickened mind, with better analogy of things than he has shown. It is evident that the public was misled about the nature of his illness. It was first announced he would be out in a week. "Work the mines," was his state ment. "They will pay out. If I have lost everything else, I have one coal mine in Illinois which will pay off all my indebtedness. Just- give me a chance to get back down town. I will make things pay out every dollar I owe. I know what is in the mines and what they are worth. I want to get oacK ana work. He spoke with the greatest en thusiasm," said Mr. Histed this morn ing, "as I went into the sick room on Friday afternoon at his home at Thirteenth and Topeka avenue to see him. He was sitting up in bed, garbed in his sleeping robe. He threw up his hands on either side of his head, and in his genial Irish way laughingly said: 'Howdy Cliff.' 'You don't look like a wreck to me by any means I said. 'There is lots of work in me yet,' was his answer." "Then we talked over business mat ters and his mind was quick and ready to respond, not slow and slug gish as it- was the other day when I saw him." Had a Blood Clot. For the first time, the public is au thentically apprised of the exact nat ure of Mr. Devlin's illness. A ques tion embodying that point was asked of Mr. Histed. to which he replied: "He suffered with a blood clot on his brain, j, That you know interferes with the process of thought, making his thinking slow and impeded. That is a physiological fact. It is now sim ply a question of letting nature alone, that element will work out salvation in this case. Mental worry w'ill re tard process to speedy recovery. So far as final recovery is concerned, there is no doubt. When I saw him yesterday he looked and felt good. He wants to get out. When he does, watch him make things go." It had been stated right along by Dr. W. S. Lindsay that Mr. Devlin was suffering from acute indigestion, and that his illness was due solely to that ailment. This statement has con tinually been made. No explanation was given why a mental break down should be correlative to an attack of that kind further than a statement that the prominent coal dealer had overworked himself. Has tlie Property. "What mine is that Illinois one which Mr. Devlin says would practically liqui date all of his indebtedness were every thing else wiped out?" was the question then directed at Mr. Histed. "I do not wish, to say anything in particular concerning it," was the an swer, "but that it is 1,200 acres large and to a very large extent un worked. It has the stuff in it though and will solve the problem. "He has the property and will make things pay out. I don't want this put too strong now. Some people may think that it is hot air. I know where of I speak. I know that the material is to be had from which the money can be converted and the obligations liqui dated. Mr. Devlin may probably not be out for a month, only because the doc tors will not let him. But when he does, things will be done. He knows how. He knows every inch of the coal business and he can make big produc tions so far as results are concerned. The receivers are anxious to have him on duty, anxious to have him in the harness and at work. "Best to Be Had." "What do I think of the receivers?" said Mr. Histed in answer to that question. "I consider them among the best and in fact consider them tne. very best that could have been obtained for that work. I do not believe that i: a general election had been held in the state of Kansas two more satisfactory men could have been found, They will apply to it wisdom gained from long experience in weighty and big affairs. They have taken hold of the work with entnusiasm. uney win do the very best that is to be done. Their control centers the management. protects assaults, makes things con crete and compact, conserves all inter ests, and gives us an opportunity to realize the most from the immense pro perties. The difficulty was that when the bank went, it engendered a restless nervous feeling among all classes of creditors. It brought attachments and involuntary petitions in bankruptcy asrainst us. Now that is all stopped. "Now let me warn you again: Don't put me in too enthusiastic a light. I mean everything and more than I have said. But people are apt to think that I am giving hot air. l mean tms. i know just exactly whereof I speak with regard to the Devlin matters. When Mr. Devlin gets back into the streets he will make things realize to tneir utmost. He knows what there is in his proper ties. He says that he can pay out to the last mark." Peck Says They'll Pay Out. "If the Devlin properties are managed right, there is not a particle of question in my mind but they will pay out twice as much aa the debts now aggregate." This statement was made by George R. Peck this morning, as he was caught on the fly between the lobby and the dining room of the Throop hotel. He continued: "Take all his immense coal lands, his fine farming properties, his real estate and other things. Look at their value. Mr. Devlin was a very rich man. He was a remarkable busi ness man, one of the greatest in the west. Pay out? why of course he will pay out. All that is needed now is management good, sane, business management." Just then Clerk Ed Good stepped up with a telegram for Mr. Peck. "Where is the boy that brought it," he asked. "Here," answered Good, producing the messenger. "Here, my son," said Mr. Peck pleas antly to the youngster, handing him a, quarter. "Who's that fer?" questioned the youngster. "For you," answered Mr. Peck. Big as harvest moons were the eyes of the youth, as he vanished through the door with a glorious "whoopee." Turning back to the subject of Mr. Devlin, Mr. Peck said: "I notice that a voluntary petition of Insolvency was filed in the federal court. I don't know who advised it. Did Cliff Histed?" he said quickly. "I suppose so, at least that is the general opinion, for Histed is Devlin's personal attorney," was the response. Mr. Peck's tone of voice was rather questioning concerning the filing of the bankrupt petition, but he softened quickly and said: "Well, if Cliff did advise it, I guess he knew what he was about. He is a mighty shrewd lawyer. "Now if you say anything at all of mv interview." said Mr. Peck, "I wish that you would mention particularly that I know it to be a positive fact that Mr. Devlin's assets will almost twice cover his debts. I know just how rich he is. He is a very, very dear friend of mine. I have known him a long while. I am going out to see him this afternoon tor a wnne u I am permitted. I am not here espe cially for this matter, and in fact not here for anything in particular save to see my friends. I am coming through from Colorado and am going on to Kansas City this arternoon at a o'clock." It is not commonly known, but Mr. Peck has stock in the Toluca mines. He knows exactly whereof he speaks, and his statement that his knowledge is positive concerning Mr. Devlin's as sets, ought to have a decidedly quiet ing effect on the strained conditions which now exist. Mr. Peck stopped here on his way back from Colorado Springs where he delivered an address day before yes terday to the Colorado State Bar as sociation. I made a speech," he said laughing in telling about it, ."not an address." Mr. Hurley Is Here. General Manager J. E. Hurley of the Santa Fe railroad, and Cyrus Leiand, the receivers appointed by Judge .Pol lock to take charge of the Devlin prop erties, held a short preliminary con ference this morning to discuss ways and .means and to discuss the first steps to be taken. Mr. Hurley reached Topeka early this morning on a special train, mak ing a quick trip from New Mexico, where he had been on Santa Fe busi ness. Mr. Hurley declined to make, any statement for publication at this time m regard to the steps to be taken with the Devlin properties. "It is a big proposition," he said, "and is one that must require tne greatest care ana caution upon the part of the receiv ers. We will not want to take hurried action that will in any manner harm the interests at stake and we shall have to proceed carefuly." It is important that the mines be kept running for the double reason that they are revenue producing and every day will be piling up assets for the creditors, and for the other reason that the Santa Fe railroad depends upon the Devlin mines for the fuel for the locomotives to haul the trains. If the mines were shut down it would shortly cripple the railroad in the run ning of trains. The salaries of the miners will be paid as usual and consequently there will be no shut down at tne mines. Queen Lost His Money. J. H. Queen, a justice of the peace who lives south of town, sold his farm to C. J. Devlin for $3,500. Devlin paid him by drawing on the First .Na tional. Queen, who is a cripple, pre sented the check for payment, before the failure, and left the money on de posit in the First National, where it is still tied up. Saturday of last week, a short time before the bank was closed, as usual, at noon Queen deposited $25, which was about all the ready cash he had. The bank closed a few minutes afterward and was not reopened. It is reported that Queen said that one of the directors told him since the failure of the bank that had he known that he. Queen, had his money still on de posit he would have told him to draw his money out. BOMBARDS CHIPIVAN. Japanese Squadron Attacks Town on Sakhalien Island. St. Petersburg, July 8. A dispatch dated July 7 from LiapunofE, command ing the Russian troops on the island of Sakhalien, says: "At nine o'clock in the morning of July 7 a Japanese squadron appeared off the village of Chipivan about seven miles southwest from Karsakorsk and opened fire on the shore. Another dispatch on the date says: "At 3 p. m. three Japanese torpedo boats appeared off Karsakorsk and the Russian batteries opened fire on them and compelled the boats to retire. Dur ing the bombardment four of the in habitants of Karsakorsk were killed. The bombardment had been anticipated and the commandment had ordered the withdrawal of the defenders north ward." Sights Along the Wakarusa. Lawrence, July 8. One of the sights of the Wakarusa flood destruction can be seenNin the road for a quarter of a mile south of the Dutton bridge. The road for that distance is piled several feet deep with bundles of wheat and the teams which have traveled that road since the water receded have made their footing entirely on wheat bundles that have been ruined by the water. This wheat came probably from a dis tance of a few miles up the river and has lodged against the fences to quite a depth. Albert FeU Goes to Las Vegas. Albert Fell, who has been private sec retary to General Superintendent F. C. Fox of the eastern grand division of the Santa Fe, has been appointed chief clerk to Chas. Russel, superintendent of the New Mexico division at Las .Vegas. POLITICAL GOSSI Flop of P. W. Goebel, Leader of Democrats in House. Will Hereafter Affiliate With the Republicans. CLARK A CANDIDATE. Speaker Fro Tem Would Go to Congress. Judge Hutchinson May Also Be in the Race.. It is unofficially announced that P. W. Goebel, the leader of the Democratic minority in the last legislature, and of ten mentioned as a possible candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket, has come out openly in an endorsement d the Republican party, and expects to lineup with the Republicans of Miami county In the future. Mr. Goebel Is a banker at Loulsburg. and Is reputed to be, next to F, R Schermerhorn, the richest man In the house of representatives. He owns banks and lands in great abundance. It seems highly probable that If Mr. Goebel's flop is confirmed, the next thing will be his nomination for the leg islature, or something else, on the Re publican ticket. The Republicans have always taken very kindly to Mr. Ooebel. and during the last session of the leg islature, he was one of the members whose opinions always had -weight, be cause he had a good pull with both, the majority and minority. In spite of the fact that some of th politicians are trying to arrange things for Judge E. H. Madison to take the Seventh district congressional nomina tion without opposition, it seems proba ble that some other candidates will be in the game before long. One of the most prominently mention ed Is Judge Ansel R. Clark, of Starling. Judge Clark was speaker pro tem of the last house, and did all the work of presiding. He was well liked by the members, said stands way up with tha present administration. He is a mem ber of the governor's confidential ad visory board in the state treasury ex amination. Judge. W. E. Hutchinson of Garden, City is likely to be a candidate. Judge Charles Lobdell and ex-Judge Frank Price of Ashland have withdrawn and thrown their support to Madison. The Dodge City Globe-Republican, in announcing the candidacy of Judge Madison says: "His candidacy has largely been de termined by-generous voluntary offers o 'assistance from Hon. Charles E. Lobdell, of Larned, and Hon. Francis CV Price, of Ashland. Both of these gentlemen-have been frequently men tioned for the' nomination. Either of them would make a strong and capa- k ble representative and they have many friends who desire to see them in con gress. Their expressed desire to see Judge Madison a. candidate is a gen erous and magnanimous act and one to be heartily, appreciated. It is also one of the strongest endorsements that could be' given a candidate in this district." S. H. Kelsey, late adjutant general of Kansas, has given up his intention of engaging in the carpet business in Atchison, and has located at Crystal river, Florida, where he has gone Into the sawmill business. With his son, Claud, he is now engaged in building a hardwood mill, which will have a capacity of ten thousand feet dally. They have timber leases on two thou sand acres. Crystal River Is on the west coast of the peninsula, 66 miles north of Tampa. The Kelseys went there some time ago to visit relatives, and decided to locate. Senator Vint Stilllngs, of Leavsn worth who was In town yesterday talk ing with some politicians, says that t some Leavenworth people are rather pleased because the First National bank: failed and the state treasury has be come involved in the wreck. "This thing will keep Governor Hoch so busy," said Senator Stilllngs, "that he will not have much time to bother with the enforcement of tha prohibitory law in Leavenworth." The executive council has decided to appoint Logan Spaulding, of Topeka, as an extra Janitor for the state honse. Spaulding will be paid out of the con tingent funds. It was thought that another janitor would ba needed, an Spaulding had a good strong political pull to help him land tha Job. Governor Hoch had a conference yes terday with City Attorney Ralph Nel son, City Clerk Geo. Foerschler and Chief of Police Vernon J. Rose, of Kan sas City, Kan. They came to Topeka to present to the governor the resolu tion adopted at the recent council meet ing asking the governor to appoint an assistant attorney general to enforce the gambling laws in that city. Gover nor Hoch refused to appoint such an official unless the Kansas City people would include the enforcement of the prohibitory law in the list. The Kansas City officials went home for further in structions. Vernon Rose Is the man against whom the resolution was aimed. He came along with the attorney and clerk to assure the governor that he was ready to co-operate with any as sistant attorney general or with a grand jury. Governor Hoch asked Chief Rose why he did not close the gambling houses. The governor said he realized that it would be a big undertaking to stop the sale of liquor in Kansas City, Kansas, but that the gambling houses could be closed in a few hours. The chief replied that he had been doing all he-could and did not know of any open gambling houses. Mr. Nelson said that he had offered to take the chief of police into two gambling houses within 100 feet of Sixth street and Minnesota, avenue. Mr. Neison was disappointed at the failure of the .governor to act upon the resolution of the council. Dead Body Found. Beloit, Kan., July 8.

THE TOPEKAi STATE JOUKN'Alv SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. STILL CONFIDENT. Business Interests See a Bright Future Ahead. Hallway Equipment a Prominent Market Feature. EARNINGS IMPROVE. Foreign Commerce Shows De cline in Exports and Imports. Too iSuch Bain Reported in the West and South. New York, July 8. R. G. Dun Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "Customary quiet commercial condi tions at midsummer were augmented by the Interruption of a holiday, except that warm weather gave impetus to the distribution of seasonable wearing ap parel, sporting goods and outing sup piles. In wholesale jobbing circles an unusually brisk duplicate order business testifies to the freedom from accumula ted stocks on the shelves of interior dealers, while there is no abatement of confidence in the future. Structural steel and all forms of railway equip ment jara the prominent features of the, iron Industry, but quiet conditions pre vail at coke ovens and pig iron fur naces. Sensational soaring of quota tions for raw materials threatens the stability ef the leading textile markets, although consumption Is not yet per ceptibly diminished by rapidly rising price lists. r "Widely varying reports are received regarding the crop situation, prices ris ing higher than would be the case if manipulation were less vigorous, and exports are adversely affected. Several threatened labor controversies have been averted by agreement upon wage scales for another year and building operations are unusually brisk for the season. Inventories show a good vol. nme of business for the first six months of the year and still greater activity is expected in the last half. Railway earnings In June were 6.6 per cent larg er than last year's, but foreign com merce at this port for the last week shows a loss of $4,167 -in exports and a deoerase ef $41 8, 758 In Imports as com pared with 1904. "Uncertainty In the markets for no tion goods has resulted from the rise in the raw material and it is almost im possible to negotiate for future deliv ery. Similar conditions prevail in the other leading textile industry, except that raw material has fluctuated less of Jat. "Increased activity is noted in the hide market, the demand emanating chiefly from one prominent interest and confined mainly to native steers of later salting. Foreign hides are dulL Sales men have returned from western trips bringing liberal orders for spring shoes and buyers In the Boston market are operating freely on initial contracts. "Failures this week in the United States are 160. against 240 last week, 195 the preceding week and 200 the cor responding week last year. Failures in Canada number 21, against 16 last -week, 29 the preceding week and 12 last year." Brad street's. Bradstreet's says: "Holiday influences. Irregular weath er and crop reports and seasonable shutdown for repairs and inventories have tended to limit the turnover of the week. Too much rain in the west has retarded trade in that section, and from the south similar reports come, in the central west, the east and southwest, however, trade is of full summer volume, with a good retail distribution and fair returns for sum mer goods from jobbers. The sharp advance in raw cotton has had a rather stimulating effect on southern trade sentiment, .though indicating smaller than expected yields, the feel ing being that higher prices will off set reduced production. "The advance in, raw cotton has THAT OUGHT TO CONVINCE YOU Mr. Von Eckem, Jersey City, N. J., says: "I was troubled many years with a weak stomach, but your Bitters has entirely cured me. I give yon a thousand thanks." V. Scherrer, New York City, New York, says: "I have used your Bitters for Indigestion and Stomach Troubles and found it Tery beneficial.. I cheerfully recommend it." at it i S THE AGED AND INFISM ARE ALSO GREATLY BENEFITED BY THE BITTERS. S3 stimulated the inquiry for cotton goods, which have been generally ad vanced 5 to 10 per cent, and buyers complain of deliveries. Wool has strengthened, and the market for foot wear, though quiet, has shown the ef fect of present high prices of leather and the highest prices for hides In years. Building material of all kinds reflect the demands for a record year in this respect. Pig iron has been dull and moved lower, but heavy finished products have been in good call. "Labor is well employed, and the signing of the new tin plate scale re moves the only important threaten ing feature in industrial lines, which report no important strikes occurring. Railway earnings continue large, the gain in June being 6 per cent, with May net earnings exceeding last year by 8.05 per cent and the fiscal year will show a gain of 7 per cent. "Business failures in the United States for the past week, ended July 6, are far below the normal for this time of year, being only 127, against 186 last week, 172 in the like week of 1904, and 154 in 1903, 195 in 1902, and 199 in 1901. "In Canada failures this week num ber 29, as against 33 last week and 14 in this week a year ago." Bank Clearings. New York, July 8.

Pitcher "Kid" Nichols Is Let Out by St. Louis Crowd. Robisons Wished to Cut Down Expenses of the Team. WHERE WILL HE LAND? Future Plans of the Kansas City Player Unknown. Was on the Cardinal's Payroll for $5,000 Yearly. New York, July 8'. President Harry C. Puiliarn of the National league has announced the approval of the contract of Pittsburg with George Gibson and approval of the following releases: By Pittsburg George F. McBride to St. Louis. By St. Louis David Brain to Pitts burg. By St. Louis Charles A, Nichols, un conditionally. St. JUouis, July 8. News of the un- conditional release of Pitcher Charles Nishols by Messrs. Robison created no surprise in baseball circles here, as it has been discounted by reports of af fairs in Camp Cardinal. Just as the "Kid" was rounding into form about a month ago, he was quite seriously in jured by a batted ball in a game at Pittsburg and since than, has been un able to play. His release, however, was not due to that injury, but to the fact that the Robisons .wished to cut down expenses and as the "Kid" was drawing 15,000 a year his request for release was gladly complied with. Nichols' contract with the Robisons had two years to run and, it is under stood that there was a clause therein that when the Robisons should part com pany he was to be given an unconai tional release. The fact that he was deposed as manager in May had noth ing to do with his asking for his release. His plans for the future are not known, .Britons Cheer Miss Sutton. London, July 8. Miss Mary Sutton of Pasadena, Cal., has emerged vic torious from the big entry for the premier ladies' tennis honor of all England, defeating by consistent work throughout all the aspirants for the championship now held by Miss u. s. Douglas, who, on Saturday next, will meet Miss Sutton. A battle royal is ex pected, as the English woman is a re markably fast player and a good gen eral, while Miss Sutton, throughout the tournament, exhibited form never equaled at Wimbledon. -That Miss Sutton s triumph is most popular was shown when she defeated .in two straight sets Miss C. Wilson, who played beautiful tennis ana only suc cumbed after a hard fight, "ine spec tators rose in a body and cheered the young American again and again. Africander Is Retired. Lexington, Ky., July 8. The noted 5 year old bay horse, Africander, by imp. Star Ruby, dam-Af ric Queen, by imp. Darebin, owned' by. James B.

He de Bitters feated Schaefer at 18 inch balk line I by the score of 400 to 366, at Morley's parlors. Schaefer was not playing up to form by any means, and this ac counts for his defeat.

One game win be transferred from the Shoplifter town here, the one that the two teams ought to play there tomorrow. The other will be one of the rain dates of the recent series between the two teams here which were entirely prevented because of inclement weather, se- dalia's existence in the Western asso ciation seems to be about ended. The attendance there is. execrably poor and scarcely enough to pay for the baseballs used, m fact, the crowds have been so small that the newspa per reDorters have been ashamed to print them. It is hard to say just what the difficulty Is, turther than to simply label the town one of the kind that "don't draw." There are other places which would like to have the ShoDlifter franchise. Somebody else will have it next year. lola is asking for it now. if the expectea break-up in the western league occurs et. Jo- netih may take on the franchise. Some thing will doubtlessly have to be done. for the simple fact that if it is already necessary to transfer games away from the town this eariy in tne season, what will it be later on. The follow- ins: dispatch from lola is interesting lola, Kan., July 8. It was stated here today that Sedalia would likely eive ud her franchise in the Western association because of poor support of the team.

I attribute the bad showing of the New York Na tionals on their western trip, to the fact that McGraw had to keep within bounds to a certain extent. He had not that unlimited bulldozing freedom which is allowed him at the polo grounds, and had to put a curb on his rowdy tactics. I know it for a fact that when he was in Chicago, and young Reulbach was pitching for the Seleeites. McGraw got up on the coaching lines and began to bawl out obscenities at the young pitcher. Reul bach stood this for a few minutes and made out like he did not mind, but at the completion of the inning, he de liberately walked over to the New York players' bench, and thus he spake to the incorrigible "Muggsy:" See here, McGraw, i am a young man just come into this National league end have never met you before, but I know aU about you from reputation, and I want to tell you something right now, so there will be no misunder standing later on. I will not allow you or any other man to appiy viie epixnets to me and I warn you now if you re peat what you said a while ago on the coaching line when I was pitching, I will come directly to you and punch your jaw, even if I never play another professional game or Daseoau. j. mean what I say and you know what to expect if you attempt any of those tactics on me." It Is further stated by my informer that McGraw never open ed his mouth during tne rest oi tnai game, which was tne nrsi oi roe jni-cago-New York series and there was a stillness around roway neaaquarters that was appalling. Reulbach won his game and he might not have been so fortunate if he had not had the cour age to prevent the brawlings of the obstreperous little wretch, who has all the umpires bluffed to a nnisn, except possibly Hank O'Day and Bausewine.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasitic germs. The importance of this discovery by Prof. Unna of the Charity hospital Hamburg, Germany, can not be overestimated. It ex plains why ordinary hair preparations, even of the most expensive character fail to cure dandruff; because they do not and they can not kill the dandruff germ. The only hair preparation in the world that positively destroys the dandruff parasites that burrow up the scalp into sealas called scurff or dandruff, is Newbro's Herpictde. In addition to Its destroying the dandruff germ Herpicide is also a delightful hair dressing. Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for samole to The Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich. J. P.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAUqATCRDA Y EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. BARBEfTSBREAK. New York Artist Trims Musical Prodigy's Curls. Iola Boy Yiolinist Has Lost His Stage Value. DATES ARE CANCELLED Manager Says $24,000 Worth of Contracts Are Void. His Mother Is Frantic and Will Sue the Barber. New York, July 8. The American Bays: An inoffensive pair of shears, a will ing barber and a boy's desire not to look like a "sissy" are responsible for the transformation of little Maurice Warner, the boy violinist from Iola, Kansas, for whose musical education the women of the Electric club raised a fund of $50,000 from a dreamy look ing prodigy with long flaxen locks to a plain, ordinary boy. The consequent loss in the lad's marketable value has driven Tiis man ager to despair, caused the cancella tion of contracts worth $24,000, and nearly broken' Maurice's mother's heart. Incidentally the barber faces a lawsuit. The saddest part of the hirsute tragedy is that nearly a whole year, aside from $1,000, has been spent in Inducing Maurice's hair to sprout to the length of eight inches. Occasionally it was necessary to have the hair cut, but ah! the care fulness that was always exercised! It was cut almost a hair at a time, and just one-sixteenth of an inch was snipped off to induce it to grow more, and the mother was never happy after these events until the handicap had been overcome. Two days ago the manager took the prodigy out to have his hair trimmed, and went to the "tonsorial parlor" of Charles Kratz, at Third avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-seventh street, to have the delicate operation performed. All would have been happily ended If the manager had remained in the barber shop, but he thoughtlessly went out to buy something. The barber didn't realize that the lad in his chair was a prodigy, nor that his hair was worth about $2,000 an inch to him. Then, he is alleged to have appealed to Maurice's boy spirit, by telling him how much better he would look with a short pompadour instead of the long locks that some times had to be tied with ribbons. It took Kratz but a few seconds to clip off 124 times as much hair as other barbers had taken three hours to cut. Finally the manager chanced to drop in and see how the operation was progressing, and when he caught one glimpse of his star he burst into a rage and demanded reparation. The barber explained that this was one of the cases wherein the past is buried, and said that there was noth ing to do but -wait a year and let the hair grow. With mingled sorrow and anger the impresario gathered up the locks and took the violinist home to his mother, -who actually succumbed on seeing her boy and has since been under a doctor's care for nervous pros tration. Meanwhile Manager Erlich hurried to his offices and cancelled all but one of the engagements at which young Warner was scheduled to ap pear. Mrs. Warner, when seen at her home. No. 6 3 East One Hundred and Twenty-second street, said "I am just frantic over this affair, and I have been suffering from nerv ous prostration. The beauty of my boy's hair was something very, very dear to me, and, besides, it was abso lutely essential to complete the artistic effect on his concert tour. Why, all the ladies of the leading clubs in New York have raved over Maurice's locks, and now, just to think, they are all cut off. He immediately cancelled the en gagements which he had made for this summer, and we had been looking forward so proudly to his debut at Carnegie hall. "But I shall get justice from that barber. My case is in the hands of Mr. M. P. O'Connor, in the Home Life Insurance building, and I am sure that I can recover damages. Personally, I would not take $20,000, the locks were so dear to me."

REFORMERS MEET Lawson and Jerome Sit at Same Board at K. C. Guests at Knife and Fork Club Banquet. BOTH WERE CHEERED. Lawson Devoted His Speech to the "System." Jerome Pays Handsome Tribute to the Boston Man. Kansas City, July 8. Thomas W. Lawson of Boston and William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New York the one the foremost exponent of the principle of honesty in commercial life, the other the enemy of political "graft" were the guests of honor at -the ban quet of the Knife and Fork club at the Midland hotel last night." At the long tables sat 460 of Kansas City's business and professional men. Each of the dis tinguished visitors was given a rousing reception when he arose to speak, and every telling point was the signal for hearty applause. In his speech Mr. Jerome said he had no press agent and Mr. Lawson showed' considerable feeling about it when he got up to speak after Mr. Jerome had finished. The attendance was the largest at the banquets given by the club, and, while the organization has listened to many well known men during the several years of its existence, there was prob ably more interest manifested last night in what the speakers had to say, than at any previous banquet. Cheers for Both. Mr. Lawson was the first to arrive at the hotel where the banquet was given, and when it became known that his carriage was at the Seventh street en trance the crowd in the hotel lobby rushed in that direction. Mr. Lawson had taken refuge in one of the parlors just off the entrance, and the crowd surrounded the door of this room and peered in at the windows while the au thor of "Frenzied Finance" held a brief reception. In a few minutes, under the guidance of Thomas H. Reynolds, the president of the club, he started for the elevator to ascend to the banquet room on the fifth floor of the hotel. His appearance in the lobby was the signal for loud cheers and hand clapping which caused Mr. Lawson to bow his acknowledg ments. Mr. Jerome was late and Mr. Law- son and Mr. Reynolds, accompanied by the other guests who occupied seats at the honor table, entered the banquet room without waiting for the noted New Yorker. The guests were all seated when the Boston man entered and he was greeted with another demonstration. The guests arose to their feet and cheered and waved their napkins. The applause lasted for sev eral -minutes and Mr. Lawson bowed in appreciation, while a smile of sat isfaction was visible undei- the corners of his dark mustache. The Two Reformers Meet. Mr. Jerome came in a few minutes later and the reception that was given Mr. Lawson was just as heartily re peated. The district attorney smiled and bowed. The enemy of John D. Rockefeller and the enemy of municipal corruption had never met before and the presen tation was made by Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Lawson bowed. Mr. Jerome said, How are you?" A few minutes later they were chatting like old friends. The banqueters were called to order by President Reynolds, who called upon the Rev. C. S. Nusbaum, secre tary of the Ottawa Chautauqua, for the Invocation. The speaking did not begin until nearly 11 o'clock. E. J. Ridgeway, publisher of Everybody's Magazine, in which Mr. Lawson's "Frenzied Finance" stories have appeared, was the first speaker. He was followed by S. S. McClure, publisher of McClure's Magazine. There was another big demonstra tion when Mr. Jerome arose to speak. His talk was impromptu and was re plete with incidents of an interesting and humorous nature. Mr. Lawson also spoke extemporaneously. He talked on the theme which has made his name a household word through out the nation, and he was frequently stopped by bursts of applause. J. J. Ridgeway's Speech. Mr. Reynolds introduced E. J. Ridge way, editor of Everybody's Magazine, as a literary man who, perhaps, would reach fields where the orator failed to be heard. Mr. Ridgeway said: "You are all interested in Mr. Law son. You would probably like to know what we think of him. A man who would work in this country today must take humanity as he finds it. When America needed a father, God raised up Washington. When America needed an emancipator, God raised up Lincoln. It is my belief that for the troubles that beset the country at this time God raised up Lawson. When God made Tom Lawson he said: 'Where can I mar him so as to keep him down to earth. I can't afford to mar that physique. I can't mar that intellect. I'll just give him the heart of a wo man.' "When several months ago we knew him only as the world knows him, we knew him well enough to risk our prop erty with him. We know him well enough now to trust our lives with him. And we know him well enough to risk our lives for him if he needs them." S. S. McClure, publisher of McClure's magazine, followed Mr. Ridgeway. "I came here to visit my friend, Wil liam Allen White, and a country like I knew fifteen years ago," he said. "I believe there is no part of the world so prosperous and happy as that between Indiana and western Kansas." The rest of his talk was devoted to McClure's magazine. The Speech of Jeromei William Travers Jerome -was intro- Hair "Vigor. You know Eray hair adds twenty years to your looks I Then restore the color; keep young Stop your hair from falling out and make it grow long and heavy. Now is the time. 3. O. AywCo.i IjOWBil, ABSt. Avers duced by Mr. Reynold's as "a good fellow." Mr. Jerome was greeted with tremen dous applause. He said. "I have one great regret tonight. I know that the third rail is loaded. My one supreme regret .is that' I did not bring my press agent with me. Of course I knew that Lawson had been raised up by God to raise I was touched by the remarks by a previous speaker about the charter member of this club he met in New York. I could not help wondering whether he was J under bond. If he was not under bond it would have been safer for him to have come by the Grand Trunk than by the St. Louis Limited. "I don't want to get into a very seri ous strain. I told them at Ottawa to day that I had expected to talk on Shakespeare until I found the Wiscon sin reformer had exhausted Shakespeare as well as the audience. So I left it for Lawson tomorrow. "There is a serious side though you may have your fingers crossed and not be it. I have been fortunate enough when I could get away, during the last few years, to come to the west. I am free to say that I always go back a better man than before. I am of New England stock and believe that sturdy fiber makes men. But the days are drifting from it. But there flowed out from it a stream of moral inspiration and the west is taking it up. and that is the thing that encourages a man. I don't care how many boulevards Kan sas City has or whether the Missouri river overflows your $30,000 acre tracts. "I do care that the moral inspiration of the men who landed on that rock bound coast be carried out into broader things. We think the west crude, per haps, and you think the .east conven tional, but we mix with you as well as you do with the east. "When a man from the east comes west alive to good influences, he goes back a better man. I am no idle wor shipper, but you do try, out here, to make yourselves realize your ideals." Lawson Tells of His Mission. In introducing Mr. Lawson, Mr. Reyn olds said Mr. Lawson had exposed a dangerous disease and told its cure. The applause that greeted Mr.-Lawson last ed several minutes. "My story is a simple one. The wrongs of the American people and the men -V nnmmittoi1 im A n rl hpfnro tell ing them I thank God I have a press f agent. I am sorry i nave not more oi them. I came west to lay your story at your feet. If I were Mr. Jerome with his power to do things I would get up here and say I came west without a press agent. The people have not cloth ed me with the power they have you. I would rather be in your place for two years than be president of the United States or Mr. Rockefeller with his COO millions. "I am not going to apologize for the kernel of truth I bring to the west. No one has more respect for your ability, Mr. Jerome, than I have, but I am not going to apologize for what I am do ing. "Gentlemen, I thank you for this opportunity to tell you my story, the wrongs of the American people, and who have committed them. You know, I know, Mr. Jerome knows. A year has passed and my kernel truth has grown, grown a little so that the entire American people know that what I said is but a part. I read- in this morning's papers that Mr. Je rome's office was going to take up the Equitable fight, and it looks as if he would send its officers to the peniten tiary. It's a ten to one shot, but I'll take the long end that he does. Talks at Jerome. "I don't blame Mr. Jerome for what he said. I don't seek favor from any man, for I have won my spurs. That's the penalty that any man who is trying to do what I am trying to do has to pay. "I would have thought that Mr. Jerome might have given me some thing of a 'send-oft' on this the most embarrassing, the most awful moment of my life, the first time I ever faced a large crowd of people and tried to tell my story. "The American nation, during the past-thirty years, has been prosperous. Our own and foreign statistics show it. The large fortunes which have been made show it; Rockefeller's millions and Carnegie's millions. What is pros perity? It is when we strike a balance and find a surplus over what we have paid for necessities and luxuries. "They wondered where this great surplus has gone. The statesmen said it was this and that. But the people knew. The American people knew there was but three ways this surplus must be absorbed. It must be in the banks. No: it is not there. It must show in shorter hours of labor. No; it is not there. It must be in more luxurious living. No; it is not tnere Then they looked around and saw Mr. Rockefeller with nis ouo minions. They wondered how he got them. They said it must be a trick. Knew Where the Trick Was. I happened to be in a position to know where the trick was. Did not require any great business acumen to know it. All wan street Knew it. Ana said what would be the result u went before the American people and told them all I know. A vear ago I went before the peo- nlp. and told them. And now they know almost as much about it as i do. And I said it is now almost time to show them by practical methods what the trick is. Last December I issued an advertisement. The result was that 400 millions -was knocked off the price of stocks and bonds in three days. What did it mean? It meant that wnat x saia in tne advertisement was the little kernel of truth that I am bringing to the west, hoping and praying to God that it will bear fruit. It meant tne trutn and that the American people said to themselves that Lawson is no account, but he told the truth." At the "Honor" Table. The "honor" table was placed at the north side of the big banquet room, Thomas H. Reynolds, tne re tiring president, occupying the cen tral seat. At his right, in the order named, sat Thomas W. Lawson, James Creelman, the New York correspond ent; Henry M. Beardsley, acting may or of the city: Herbert S. Hadley, at torney general of the state; Frank P. MasLennan. of TopeKa, and Henry J. Allen, of Ottawa. At Mr. Reynolds' left were William Travers Jerome, H, B. Topping, president-elect- of the club; the Rev. C. S. Nesbaum, secre tary of the Ottawa Chautauqua; Fred N. Tufts, secretary and treasurer of the club; E. J. Ridgeway, publisher of Everybody's Magazine; John O'Hara Cosgrove, editor of the maga zine, and Lindsay Denison, of New York. While the different courses were be ing served, many menu cards were passed to Mr. Lawson and Mr. Jerome with the request that the guests of honor write their autographs thereon. "Better put 'yours truly, or some thing else, over your name," said Mr. Jerome to Mr. Lawson, when one such request was made. "They might write a sight draft over it. "They need yours in blank more than they do .mine, Mr. Jerome," Mr. Lawson replied. "Oh, I don't know," New York's district attorney replied. "My sig nature is only good on a bail bond.

Delano, vice president of the Wabash railroad, has abolished the entire secret service de partment of the company, including about 50 train collectors, and by so do ing has ended the most remarkable system of espionage ever maintained on a railroad. The facts regarding' the abolition of the spy system of the Wabash discloses the methods pursued by Joseph Bamsey, Jr., in the effort to ascertain whether his officials and employes were true to their trust. Through the Instrumentali ty of C. O. Eames, superintendent of the secret service, and of J. B. Nichols, special agent of the Wabash, Presi dent Ramsey built up a system of shadowing that is said to have no paral lel in railroad history, but which found an imitator when L. F. Loree was pres ident of the Baltimore Ohio. By the employment of 121 men, all of whom have been summarily discharged, President Ramsey was enabled to place a spy upon every important official and employe of the Wabash railroad. For years these men have been subjected to an espionage which began when they arose in the morning and ended only when the lights went out in their bed rooms at night. The system became so irksome that the resignations on the Wabash due to it in years past have keen many. In vain did officials of the system protest. As soon as Mr. Delano became vice president of the road he learned of the secret aervice system which expended more than $100,000 annually to be able to convince a railroad president that his conductors were not stealing and his officials were not embezzling. He found that every official of the railroad, includ ing himself, was subjected to the daily espionage of Eames' men. It did not take Mr. Delano long to secure the authority to discharge the entire outfit, which he summarily did. It is understood that the secret ser vice organization became so strong that many of its members began trafficking in railroad transportation. This prac tice grew to such an extent that it be came almost an open, scandal. If any official dared to protest against it, and thereby incur the anger of the secret service men, it was done at the risk of having unfavorable reports made against him to the president of the road. So elaborate was the system that train collectors were not only employ ed to prevent the conductors stealing, but secret service men were employed to see that the collectors did not steal. We abolished the department for two reasons," said Mr. Delano. "One was to save a useless expense of $75,000 to $100, 000 annually, and the other was the fact that General Manager Henry Miller and myself do not believe in maintaining an espionage upon employes. Hereafter our superintendents will be held responsible for the proper conduct of business on their divisions. The foolishness of such a system of espionage is shown by the fact that in the matter of train collec tors $75 a month men were hired to do honestly what tne roaa aia not trust a man getting from $125 to $140 a month to do." NEW RATES ON LAKE GRAIN". Commission Amends Differential to North Atlantic Ports. Washington, July 8. The inter state commerce commission has modi fied its recent decision in the matter of the differential freight rate on ex- lake grain to and from North Atlantic ports so that account might be taken of the lighter weight of oats and bar ley over wheat, corn and rye. The differential was fixed in the original decision at three-tenths of a cent per bushel under the rate to New York. This stands as to all but oats and barley, on which the differential is fixed at one-sixth of a cent per bushel. THE OLDEST ENGINEER. Peter TeUin of Santa Fe Plans to Visit Home in Sweden. Kinsley, Kan., July 8. Peter Tellin, the oldest engineer in point of service on the Santa Fe, has asked for a 60 day lay off in which to visit his birth place and mother in Sweden. Mr.. Tellin fired on the pioneer en gine of the road and was given an en- ine in 1870, the "Cyrus K. Holhday." He has been in the continuous service of the Santa Fe since 1869, and now runs from Newton to Dodge City on passenger tram. A Defective Rail. Iola. Kan., July 8.

Bonds amounting to $45,000 for the Midland Valley railroad, were voted here, the bonds carrying by over 500. The vote was light, it being a sure thing that the bonds would carry. The railroad people announce that the road will be operated into this place by the first of the year. Grading is In progress between Suverdale, Kan., and Paw huska, O. T. From Silverdale, the road will come directly into Arkan sas City, and from here will probably be built on to Wichita, though plans for the extension of the road from this point have, not been completed. Vote Bonds for a Road. Arkansas City, Kan., July 8. At the special bond election held here to vote $45,000 bonds for the Midland Valley railroad only a light vote was cast. The bonds carried by over 500 votes. The road is to be built into Pawhuska in the Osage nation and the grading is being done between that point and Silverdale. Kan. xne road will run from Silverdale to Arkansas City. The objective point is Wichita, Mills Cannot Cupply Rails Needed. The railroads of the country general ly have now outstanding orders for 80,000 tons or steel rails, it is report ed that they are now trying to place orders for 40,'000 tons additional for delivery before the end of September, but are finding great difficulty in doing so, as the mills are so clogged with orders for all kinds of material that thye find it impossible to keep up with them.

4. THE TOPEKA STATE JODBNAL.SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. Ill SUSPENSE. Eelly's Official Fate Under Con- Got. Hoch and His Advisers Discuss Situation. IS GREAT SECRECY. Kone of Participants Discuss Action. Would Hay Hare Adopted Plan to Dis place Kelly. Iloch May Also Be Liable For Neglect of Duty. State Treasurer T. T. Kelly has failed to make good the Devlin deficiency in his bond "immediately" as required by Governor Hoch, and nearly all this morning and until 1:45 this afternoon, the following gentlemen have been con ferring about the situation in the gover nor's private office: Governor E. W. Hoch. W. R. Stubbs, speaker of the house. J. N. Dolly, state senator. C. C. Coieman, attorney general. A. R. Clark, A. W. Benson and S. T. Howe, members of the advisory board. F. L. Williams, of Clay Center, the at torney general's law partner. Fart of the time C. D. Morris, the Special accountant employed by the State in the investigation of State Treas urer Kelly's accounts, has been in the conference. At 1:45 the members of the conference came out of their room, and announced that the session would be resumed at 2:30. Governor Hoch and all the other par ties in the conference absolutely refuse to talk. Governor Hoch says that it is possi ble that he may have something ready to announce late this afternoon. "Up to the present time," he asserted "nothing has been done which can be given out." Judge A. R. Clark said: "We simply talked over the general situation to de cide what we can do." Senator Dolly said: "I think some thing will be decided on some time to day. But nothing has been done yet." That Resignation ia Escrow. One of the things which the meeting had under consideration, it is said, was the authority of the governor to im mediately accept the Ktlly resignation which he holds "in escrow." This is said to be the reason that Accountant Morris was called into the conference. It is considered likely that he has un earthed some transactions in the state treasurer's office which may make it possible for the governor to accept the resignation, and thus get rid of Kelly's Bervlces. It is not at all likely that Kelly would stand by this resignation. The document Is so hedged about with provisions and conditions that it would be very difficult for the governor to get a good ground for action under its terms. One of the members of the board intimated that it Is very difficult to determine just how far the governor has authority to go in his effort to get rid of Mr. Kelly. Governor Hoch was asked, after the conference adjourned for dinner, wheth er the "resignation in escrow" had been under consideration. "I haven't anything to say about that," he replied. "Can you state how the resignation is drawn up, or whether it is hedged about with conditions?" "I think it would not be proper for me to discuss that matter." "Why was Mr. Williams, of Clay Cen ter, called into the conference?" "He is Attorney. General Coleman's law partner." "What was the general line of discus sion in the conference?" "That I can't talk about." "When will you be ready to make some statement concerning the situa tion?" "I don't know. Perhaps sometime to day." Interviews with other persons present at the conference had very similar re sults. No one would tell what had ta ken place. Governor Hoch has cancelled his en gagements to speak at the Ottawa Chautauqua and at the Epworth league convention in Denver. "I very much regret," he said, "that It was necesary for me to cancel these dates. I had counted especially on 'the pleasure of speaking at Denver, but I find that Jt is absolutely impossi ble for me to leave the capitol at this time." Kelly's Office Quiet. There was nothing unusual In State Treasurer Kelly's office this morning. Mr. Kelly had made his move in re fusing to comply with the governor's demand for an immediate substitution of some one In place of C. J. Devlin on the old bond. He had nothing further to say. It was up to Governor Hoch to make a move. Ex-State Treasurer Frank Grimes called upon Kelly this morning, and was with him some time. Mr. Grimes aid: "I believe that the First National bank will pay out. I do not believe that the state or anybody else will lose a dollar. This receivership Is the best thing that could happen, for the receivers are both good business men, and will keep the property running along in good shape. That is the whole secret of the present situation; the property must be kept in opera tion." Mr. Grimes is one of those who got information which enabled him to take his money out of the First National before the crash. "Do you think that Kelly will be able to give the new bond of $750, 000?" was asked. "I don't care to express an opinion concerning that matter," said Mr. Grimes. Mr. Grimes is in rather a peculiar position In the present crisis. He is obliged to stand by Kelly, and at the same time he has been posing as a staunch friend of Governor Hoch, and Hoch has allowed him to name one or two important appointees. Thinks Hocli Is Liable. One of the most eminent lawyers in the state, in discussing the situation today, said: "It is well settled that if any public official shall neglect to discharge a duty a public duty enjoined upon him by law, he is personally civilly liable for any loss or damage which the public may sustain by reason of such neglect or omission of duty. "I notice in one of the papers that Governor Hoch says: 'While I do not want to belittle any law on the statute books, this one concerning the examin ation of the treasury is about as use less as any.' This will show that the governor intentionally violated the law, because he considered it a useless one. Nevertheless, he and the secre tary of state and auditor are person ally liable for all damages which the state sustained by reason of this omis sion of duty on their part. The law seems to be well settled that when a loss of public money could have been avoided by the exercise of due care and diligence, there is no doubt that public officials are liable. Here is another point which l re gard of great importance to the state. Whenever any bank has had the use of these public moneys, in violation of the express provisions or the statute, the state can compel the bank to pay interest at 6 per cent for the use ot moneys during the time the same are so held by the bank, notwithstanding any arrangement which was made be tween the bank and Tom Kelly, state treasurer. "So that, if Governor Hoch is mind ful of his duty to the state, he will not only have the money on deposit with these other banks immediately withdrawn, but he will require the attorney general to institute suit to re cover damages in the way or interest for the use of the money during the time the same was so unlawfully in possession of the bank, in violation or the law of the state. "I also wish to call attention to section 2199, Oeneral Statutes of 1901, which reads as follows: 'Every officer or person holding any trust or appointment who shall be con victed of any willful misconduct or mis demeanor in office, or neglect to perform any duty enjoined upon him by law, where no special provision is made for the punishment of such misdemeanor, mis conduct or negligence, shall be punished bv fine not exceeding $500 or by imprison ment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprison ment.' "The statute made it the duty of the governor, secretary of state and auditor to each month count the money. Neglect of this duty made them criminally liable, under the statute." THEY ARE OTHERS. Kansas Natural Gas Company Will Work Under Another Name. Pittsburg, July 8. The decision of the Kansas state supreme court pro hibiting the Kansaas Natural Gas company from engaging in business in Kansas is not received with alarm by the owners of the company, who are Pittsburgers. It is entirely probable that the let ter of the Kansas supreme court man date will be obeyed but that the busi ness of the corporation in that state will hereafter be transacted in the name of one of the subsidiary con cerns which is controlled by the Kan sas Natural Gas company. Both President Barnsdall and Di rector John S. Scullin intimated this and referred to the fact that, a half dozen corporations controlled by the same interests had been regularly chartered in Kansas, and the Kansas Natural Gas company's holdings either had been or would shortly be trans ferred to one of these. Commenting upon the decision, President Barnsdall said: "The supreme court decision will not injure- us to any extent. We have other companies doing business in Kansas." The Kansas Natural Gas company has $12,000,000 stock and $4,000,000 bonds of which nearly all is held in Pittsburg. The companjf was incor porated in Delaware ana had oil ana gas holdings of 250,000 acres at one time, with a production of many mil lions of feet of gas per day. MR. KENDRICK IS HERE Third Vice President of Santa Comes to Topeka. Fe Third Vice President J. W. Kendrick of the Santa Fe reached Topeka this morn ing on a special train in comoany with General Manager J. E. Hurley, who made a hurried trip from New Mexico to Topeka to be present to take hold o the affairs of the Pevlin properties, of which he is one of the receivers. DevUn Receivers File Bond. Cyrus Leland and J. E. Hurley, re ceivers of C. J.

A Bohemian breach' of promise suit, with all the tortuous names common in Bo hemia, was filed in the suoreme court TAr.r.ie Sklenar sued Peter Sramek in the district court ot Marion county for $10,000 damages. She says that KrameK com menced to keep company with her back in 1M3. but that he did not set down to business and bring about a proposal of marriage until 1902. She charges that he broke off the engagement. The jury de cided that Miss Sklenar has been wronged about $5,000 worth. Sramek's attorneys ap peal the case. Good Bill at Vinewood. Manager F. E.

St. Petersburg, July 8.-7:50 P. M. A landing of Japanese troops on the island of Sakhalin was officially reported to night and startled military circles in St. Petersburg though it had been realized since the defeat of Admiral Rojestven sky that the Japanese were able to take possession of the island as soon as they thought fit. The strength of the landing force cannot be ascertained but the garrison of the island is too weak to offer an effective defense. RIVER IS RISING SLOWLY. Highest Point Expected In Topeka Tomorrow. The government gauge in the Kan sas river at noon today registered 15.9 feet of water. The reading at 7 o'clock this morning was 15.7 feet. The reading Friday about noon was 15.3 feet. The Kaw river registered 14 feet at Man hattan at noon and was rising rapidly. Director Jennings, of the government weather bureau, said today: "I don't know just when the high water will reach Topeka as the high waters seem to be traveling slowly and not at the speed at which flood waters have trav eled before. If the crest of the high water reached Manhattan by this noon then we ought to get the crest of the Smoky Hill high water in Topeka by tomorrow and the high water of the Republican river will be behind it." The slight rise in the river this morning, in dicated by the reading of the gauge, may be the front edge of the rise. The rain in Topeka last night amount ed to 10 hundredths of an inch. The other rains reported were: Baker .02, Dodge City .78, Fort Scott .02, McPher son trace, Manahttan 08, Osage City 02, Wichita trace. Today's corn and wheat region report says: "Cloudy weather prevailed in western, central and northern Kansas and western Missouri, with but slight changes in temperature. Showers have occurred in southwestern, central and eastern Kansas and in western Missouri. Showers have occurred in all districts with heavy rains in the Chicago dis trict." The maximum and minimum tempera tures reported for the 24 hours ending this morning at 7 o'clock were: Baker 82, 56; Concordia 82, 60; Dodge City 84, 58; Fort Scott 88. 60; Macksville 90, "58; McPherson 82, 62; Manhattan 84, 85; Osage City 82, 58; Russell S2, 54; Sedan 84, 64; Topeka 85, 60; Toronto 80, 56; Wichita 84, 64. Today's cloudy sky and the forecast for Kansas: "Showers and cooler to night; Sunday partly cloudy," are rath- er strong indications of rain. The wind at noon was northeast blowing 7 miles an hour. BAND CONCERT A FIZZLE Mexican Musicians Didn't Leave the Train at Topeka. The band concert at the Rock Island station late yesterday afternoon by the Juarez State band, was a disappoint ment to the 2,000 Topeka people who turned out to hear it. The Juarez State band is not the national band of Mexico, as adver tised. It is being taken to Buffalo, N. Y., by the Quien Sabe herd of Elks of El Paso. Announcements were made that the band would give a half hour concert here, and for that reason a large crowd turned out to hear it. The train reached Topeka at about 4:30 o'clock, but there semes to have been a mis understanding in regard to the concert at Topeka. The bandmen were not in uniform, and the leader of the band refused to allow his men to so out side the car to play without being in uniform. The band members appar ently did not known that they were ex pected to eive a concert in the "square" at Topeka. It was promised that the band would be prepared to give a concert lasting one hour in To pken when the train returns from Buffalo. BROKE BOTH HIS LEGS. F. A. Davis Sleets With Severe Injury While Oiling Machinery. F. A. Davis, who is in the employ of the Continental Creamery company, was seriously and probably fatally in jured this morning while oiling an overhead shafting. He was standing on a stepladder at the time and the sleeve of his shirt caught in a passing belt, carrying him up and hurling him violently against the ceiling. Both legs, an arm and several ribs were broken. His head was cut in one or two nlaces. He was taken to stormont hospital where his wounds were dress ed by Dr. McGuire and Dr. Mulvane.

THE GUILTY MAN. Edwin S. Holmes "Juggled" the Offi- cial Cotton Crop Report. Washington, July 8. As a result of the investigation bV the secret ser vice agents into the charges made by Richard Cheatham, secretary of the cotton planters' association, that in- rormation had been given to cotton brokers in New York by some person or persons in the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture. Sec retary Wilson today made public an official report that Edwin S. Holmes, the associate statistician had been guilty of "juggling" the official report. The report says: "It has been found that Mr. Holmes communicated advance information to L. C. Van Riper, a New York broker, and M. Haas, who is said to have act ed as go-between in conveying in formation from Holmes to other New York brokers, including Theodore Price. Steps have been taken by Sec retary Wilson to prevent any further leakage of the department figures and an entire reorganization of the bu reau of statistics and manner of pre paring monthly crop reports has been outlined by him. The papers in con nection with the investigation were referred to the United States district attorney for the District of Columbia and he has reported that in his opin ion a criminal prosecution will not lie against Holmes. Holmes has been dismissed from the service of the de partment." Olmslead Succeeds Holmes. Washington, July 8. Victor H. Olmstead has been appointed asso ciate statistician of the department of agriculture to succeed Edward Holmes who was ordered removed today by Secretary Wilson. Mr. Olmstead has for some time past held the position of chief of the division of domestic re ports in the bureau of statistics and was also formerly assistant statistician of the department. He was assistant di rector of the censuses of Cuba and the Philippines. WARNING. Look Out for Fakes and Merchandise Given Away. Don't stop your favorite paper in or der to secure some cheap premium in the shape of a cook book, razor, musical instrument, or something given away to get you to subscribe to another paper. The State Journal is issuing the largest daily newspaper published in Kansas and our readers should be on their guard for these smooth tongue solicitors with some article to give away, or sell "below cost" just to get you to change papers. The best place to buy books, instru ments and merchandise generally is to go to the regular dealers who sell them. The best newspaper is generally the paper which sells news, devotes its time, talents and money toward that end, and permits merchants to deal in merchan dise. It is folly to think that a news paper can beat a merchant selling goods and articles. What kind of news would the public expect from a merchant who would print a paper as a side issue? Be ware of a newspaper that claims it can sell you cheaper and better things than the Topeka "stores. Beware, too, of guessing contests and voting contests planned to deceive and to get you to take a paper you don't want. What is worth having is worth paying for; be careful you don't pay for something, or contract to pay for some thing, you don't want or will tire of. WHAT OF. SMITH STREET. The Old Question About Opening It, Is Reviewed. A delegation headed by C. H. Roof and O. Swanson appeared beiure the council committee on streets and walks last night and protested against the creation of a benefit district for the opening of Smith street. This has been hanging fire for the past twenty years. At about that time the citizens through a mistake built their houses in the street in the addition which was platted to the town. An attempt has been made to open up a new street, and a benefit district was created for that purpose. The delega tion which appeared last night claimed they would fight the attempt in the courts. The whole question was finally referred to the judiciary committee. A petition for a sidewalk on Douthltt street from Western avenue to Fillmore street hung fire last night. S. S. Ott asked for the petition and Dr. G. P. Lux opposed it. Lux will have to be liable for most of the cost. It is claimed that the petition was circulated for the ex press purpose of getting even with Lux because he built a fence out across the sidewalk to keep people from looking at his flower garden. The committee de cided that they would look at the pro posed walk before granting the petition. Bethany college is objecting to the pav ing of Western avenue.

He Starts Out On His Annual Tour. Copyright, 1905, by Eugene Parcells "I am the original and only C. O. D. man in the world," said the tramp sitting beside his bundle on a bench in the city hall park. "I am so called because I demand cash on de- j livery. When the cold cash Is hand- j ed over to me, the giver knows how much he has given and that his char ity has come to a finish. At the same time I know how much I have re ceived and can make my arrange ments accordingly. You may not think it of account to a man like me to know whether he can occupy a bed in the Waldorf-Astoria tonight or must sleep under a straw stack in the suburbs, but I assure you that it makes quite a difference. "To those who know me best, I am often spoken of as the Dilapidated Gentleman. This refers to my outfit and to my manners. I dress like other tramps, but when it comes to man ners, I seek to let everybody see that I was born a gentleman and know what belongs to the blood. I am also alone and original in that. "Thanks 'for the quarter. I am a little short this morning and this will come in handy. Yes, I am oft today on my annual tour. The lilacs and the bluebirds are here again, the songs of the whippoorwill are floating about on the night breezes and one can pass the night very comfortably In an old barn without an eiderdown quilt over him. There are people waiting for me, and there are scenes I wish to revisit. It will be the state of Penn sylvania this time. "Two years ago as I wandered along the blue Juniata, I came to a roman tic dell. Seated in that dell was a romantic maiden. Upon discovering her I doffed my cap and made one of my courtly bows and begged pardon for the intrusion. She saw at once that I was a Knight of the Golden Cross in disguise, and her surprise and pleasure overcame her natural shyness. I sat beside her on a moss grown log and we talked. She was not a damsel in distress, and I couldn't rescue her, but I made things as pleasant as possible by singing a bat tle hymn and a love ditty. I also told ner about four hundred lies in re gard to Palestine, chivalry and the Crusade. They were soft and gentle lies lies that wouldn't hurt a baby. She had always wanted to meet a real Knight, and it was not for me to de stroy her romance and her illusions. "We did not pledge our love. It was simply understood that she should shake the young dairyman she was keeping company with and wait for me. She offered to wait for fifty years, if needs be, but I gave her my word that two would be enough. I shall see that river of song again. I shall see that romantic dell. I shall find Sarah sit ting right where I found her before. I shall have to tell her that I have gone out of the Knight business, and that the last overflow of the Mississippi swept my fortune away and made it impossible for me to marry, but I shall tell her gently and in a brotherly way, and have a clean bandana ready to wipe her tears of disappointment away. I shall further advise her that as the price of milk and butter are constantly going up, she can't do bet ter than to encourage the young man of the dairy to return to his love. "On the crest of a sun-kissed hill, in the dear old Keystone state lies the broad .acres of a farm. I sat on the top rail of a fence one day and watched the cattle chew their cuds in contentment, and listened to the robin calling for his mate. It was a dreamy picture of peace on earth and good will to men, and I got off the fence and approached the house to ask for a drink of buttermilk. I was met by a husky and heartless hired man. and because I had a boll under my arm he took occasion to lift me three feet high with his cowhide and run me off the farm. "In about a week I shall be there again. I shall climb that lone and shady hill, and as I reach the crest I shall see peace and contentment spread out before me in the sunshine. I shall sit on that same fence and have the same thoughts, and by and by I shall approach the house as I did be fore. The husky hired man will meet me and be cheerfully ready to do more kicking, but inside of five minutes he will be a licked man and wondering when the thunder storm came up. "Ten miles further on there Is a white farm house nestling In a grove. A widow lives there. She has seen her 50 years, but she still has romance in her soul. I was there two years ago, I arrived just as a one-horned cow was thinking of eating the widow and her grass hammock together. I was dog tired and hungry, but the call of a dam sel in distress was an elixir. I rushed in, grabbed that old cow by her one horn and flopped her on her back and dragged her out. It was what any qi lapidated gentleman would have done unrer the circumstances, but the widow made much of it. She declared that I had saved her life from being munched alive and that she must show her grati tude, and for a week her home was mine. She rigged me out in a suit of clothes once worn by the departed, and after I had a shave and a hair cut I had nothing to do but read poetry to her and eat hot biscuit and clover hon ey. She did not take me for a knight, but for an actor and "when I partly confessed that I was a leading man she stood ready to put up $3,000 to put an Uncle Tom's Cabin on the road at once. She had admired actors since she was 3 years old, when she had seen a busted one footing it along the highway for New York, and she had wanted to be an actress since she reached the age of 10, when she was taken to a theater and saw a sewing machine girl drink cold tea for her supper and then marry a millionaire two hours later. "The widow hinted that she was not vet too old to act, and that I was ex pected to hustle around, and I should probably have found myself in a fix but for an old widower who wanted her and her farm, and was jealous of me. He hired a constable for $5 to look upon me as a suspicious person, and one evening when I was smoking a cigar at the gate I was seized, dumped into a wagon and driven ten miles, dumped out and told to get a hump on me. "I shall be back there within a few davs. When a widow of 50 gets stage struck in addition to her natural ro mance she's a gone coon. That is, she's a gone widow. That is again, she'll wait 200 years before she'll give up her plans. Yes, she'll be waiting. She may even be swinging in her grass ham mock under the tree again, but I hard ly expect the one-horned cow to be on the spot. My conduct to her wad so unlovely, and her neck got such a twist, that she may have gone to her grave ere this. "There will be a warm welcome, and a week's time to cure my chafed heels and blistered feet. I shall still be a leading man, and I shall still as sume poses and quote Shakespeare, but I shall convince the widow that the theatrical trust has knocked our business on the head, and suggest that she get a machine and go to evaporat ing apples for market. I shall furnish some reasonable excuse for moving on, but rot until after I have interviewed the old widower who got me bounced. I shan't hurt him, for he is an old man. but when I set through j laying WASHBURN COLLEGE AN INSTITUTION DOING WELL ALL THAT IT UNDERTAKES TO DO WORK" OPPPRPn A our-year college course with a liberal vrIIV Ul rLilL,U range of electives; a four-year medical course with a strong corps of instructors and excellent clinics; a three year law course, with access to the best law libraries and courts In the state; courses in music and art leading to the bachelor's degree; and a most efficient preparatory course.

And further along the same road is the red-headed girl whose life I saved one summer day just as a gar ter snake was within a hundred feet of her. At least, she said I saved her life and insisted that I was a chevalier of the Order of St. Stephen. When I had drunk a gallon of fresh butter milk I moved on, but she has my promise to be true until I see her again. And there are other romantic and sacred spots, and other people who take me for either a knight or a tramp, and my annual tour will not be without its adventures at every mile. To some folks I shall be the son of a millionaire traveling about in dis guise to find a wife to love me for my self alone; to others only the son of a gun wanting only com victuals ana cast-off clothes. "It's all in the day's work, however, and I'm not looking for average hu manity to be better or worse when the snow begins to fly next November, and I fold my tent and bring my tour to a finis." M. Quad. Publicity for Express Companies. There is an increasing, agitation in this country for the introduction, of a parcels post. It is probable -that the United States government could Jnot constitutionally make this extensionof its mail service a monopoly, but that it could create an effective and salutary competition with the express com panies is undoubted. It is a very great question whether the express business has not become in these last years an unnecessary agency, and a public burden; whether a reasonable exten sion of the fast freight service of the railways, on the one nana, already to some extent developed, in the milk, fruit, and meat traffic, and the inclu sion In the mail service of a parcels post, would not make it possible, with a slight increase of their present facilities, to do away with the express service altogether. The only function of real social utility performed by this agency, not already covered by the other, two, is its delivery service by wagons, and English experience has shown that this may be made an ef ficient part of the railway service. But such a large problem as this is not to be settled out of hand. More must bo known of the detailed working of the express business before judgment on this question would be warranted. From whatever standpoint the ques tion be approached, the first step seems to be clear. To require of ex press companies reports similar to those required of railways would seem to be the Immediate duty of congress. The express business is, from every point of view, an industry which should be subjected to the principle of publicity. Frank Haigh Dixon, in the July Atlantic. Weekly Market Letter. Furnished by J.

WHEAT With harvest progressing rapidly and wheat moving to market centers, the cash markets have declined materially and the regular market followed with a net de cline from the top of about 4c per bushel, nearly half of this loss being regained. The visible supply is now about the same as it was a. year ago, but stocks of wheat in Chicago are smaller than for many years. Reserves in farmers' hands are un doubtedly small, having been marketed freely during the prevailing hifch prices of the past year. The winter wheat crop has matured but does not show at harvest a record breaking yield. The spring wheat crop is not yet beyond the stase where much damage might b edone by unfavor able weather. We have on the one hand a large movement of the new wheat, and on the other hand unfavorable reaorts and fear of further damage to the s;ring wheat, and the market promises much ac tivity in the near future, with much un certainty and subject to quick changes either wai'. With favorable weather and increasing receipts, and r.o adverse news from the northwest, prices may sell somewhat lower, out any report wnicn predicts a curtailed yield of spring wheat, with any reasonable amount of fcreitm demand, would result in much higher values. The government report due on Monday next will be awaited with interest, but we do not look for it to be very bearish in tone, if the reports from experts for the past few weks should be given any considera tion. Buy on the breaks and sell on the unturns. but do not get too bearish until the spring wheat is a certainty and not a prospect. CORN Much of the uncertainty in the wheat market is shown in the corn also. The weather Is all that could be desired and the "growing crop progressing satisfac-toi-ilv. conditions Kenerally being close to the average of the last five years, but at no t'me has corn shown any weakness, and every moderate decline finds buying orders to support tne inarKei. xne chiet bull argument seems to be the scarcity of merchantable com. and if there is no corn in the country now, even a large crop this vear will not be Burdensome to care for.

Asbury Park, N. J., July 8. President Roosevelt paid an appropriate and elo quent tribute to the life and services of the late Secretary John Hay in his address before the National Education al association of the personal sacrifice Elihu Root had made in becoming Sec retary Hay's successor in office. The example of these two men enabled him to point a most effective moral; At the conclusion of his prepared ad dress the president put aside his notes and with manifest earnestness and feel ing spoke as follows to the great au dience: "In closing I want to speak to you of how certain things, some of which have happened and some of which have been suggested to me by what has happened In the past week emphasize what I have said to you as to the experience of this country of having within its limits men who put the realization of high ideals above any form of money making. "Within a week this country has lost a great statesman, who was also a great man of letters, a man who occu pied a peculiar and unique position in our country, a man of whose existence we should be proud for the United States as a whole was better because John Hay lived. John Hay entered the public service as a young man Just come of age as the secretary of Presi dent Lincoln. He served in the war and was a member of the Loyal Legion. He was trusted by and was intimate with Lincoln as hardly any other man was. He then went on rendering service after service and was always able this was one of his great advantages and great merits at any moment to go to private life unless he could continue in public life on his own terms. He went on ren dering service after service to the coun try until as the climax of his career he served as secretary of state under two administrations and by what he did he contributed in no small degree to achieving for the republic the respect of the nations of mankind. Such service could not have been rendered save by a man who had before him ideals as far apart as the poles from those ideals which have in them any taint of what Is base or sordid. "Now I wished to secure as John Hay's successor, the man whom I re garded as of all the men In the coun try the one best fitted to be Hay's successor. In asking him to take the position I was asking him to submit a very great pecuniary sacrifice and I never even thought of that aspect of the question for I knew he would not either. I knew that whatever other consideration he had to weigh for and against taking the position. the consideration of how it would af fect his personal fortune would not be taken into account by Mr. Root, and he has accepted. "I am not speaking of Hay and Root as solitary exceptions. On the con trary, I am Bpeaking of them as typi cal of a large number of men in pub lic life. Even when we hear so much criticism of certain aspects of our public life and of certain public- ser vants, criticism which I regret to state FOR 1 Sioeciai -3P WE HAVE A COMPLETE LINE OF Office Desks, Office Stationery, Filing Devices, BlanK BooKs, Typewriters.

"I hope more and more throughout this nation to see the spirit grow which makes such service possible, I hope more and more to see the sen timent of the country as a whole be come such that each man shall feel borne in on him whether he is in pub lie life or in private life, and mind you, some of the greatest public ser vice can best be rendered by those who are not in public life, that the chance to do good work is the greatest chance that can come to any man or any woman in our generation or in any other generation and to feel that if such work can be well done, it ia in its reward, the amplest prize.

He succeeded in catching hold of the bridle and bringing them to a stand still but not before one of the horses gave him a vicious kick in the thigh. The injured man was taken to his home at 1308 Quincy street and a physician call ed who found him suffering from se verely bruised muscles which will prob ably confine him to his home for two weeks.

Amended Franchise Ordinance to Be Presented. Believed That Council Will Ap prove the Changes. Electric light rates recommended by the business men's committee and ratified by the business men last night at the National hotel: Residence lighting, maximum, 12 cents per k. w. hour. Commercial lighting, maximum, for first hour, 10 cents per k. w. hour. Commercial lighting, maximum, for second hour, 6 cents per k. w. hour. Minimum charge, April to Septem ber inclusive, 75 cents per month. Minimum charge, October to March inclusive, $1.60 per month. Proposed by the Edison company under their pending franchise: Residence lighting, maximum, 15 cents per k. w. Commercial lighting, maximum, 12 cents per k. w. Minimum charge, April to Septem ber inclusive, $1. Minimum charge, October to March inclusive, $1.50. Rates charged under the present franchise which expire in 1907: Residence lighting, maximum, 20 cents per k. w. Commercial lighting, maximum, 12 cents per k. w. Minimum charge the year around In addition the rate on steam heat has been lowered from the 65 cent meter rate to 60 cents. The flat rate of 30 cents is abolished. The city secures a rate of 5 cents per k. w. hour upon an agreement reached late yesterday afternoon at a conference between City Attorney Drenning and Superintendent Maun- sell at the city building. The former rate has been 14 cents. The city ex pends for light about $2,000 a year. The city saves about $1,400 annually under the new agreement. The length of years for the proposed franchise will be 23, years instead of the 30 asked for. As announced in the State Journal Friday the above important conces sions have been granted by the Edison Illuminating company to the business men of the city. The concessions are the result of a long conference on the part of the committee consisting of V. S. Ber- gundthal, G. H. Matthews and J. W. Robinson together with C. R. Maunsell of the Edison company. The commit tee has been at work for the past six weeks and submitted the report which follows at a meeting: of the' business men at the National hotel last night, The report was adopted with but one change, that relating to the reduction in steam heat. The reduction of 5 cents was made in the meter rate by vote of those in attendance upon the meeting. The committee had not touched the matter of the time of the franchise and fhis was brought up. A motion was made to Brant it for twen ty years instead of thirty. Mr. Maun sell objected and claimed that it would place them at a disadvantage in meet ing the competition of the gas com pany which had a franchise for thirty years. "If the gas company had only a twenty year franchise, said he, would not object any further, but would sit down without another re mark." "We have conceded everything," said Tom Doran, attorney for the Edi son company, "we would like to have you make this one concession to us." The feeling, however, was an in fa vor of a reduction in the length of years. Finally City Attorney Drenning proposed 21 years as a compromise and this was accepted. Mr. Maunsell said: "Of course I haven t got the authority to say that the company will accept the franchise with those num ber of years, but we have to take what the council and the people want to give us." Mr. Doran said: "i Deiieve mat it will be accepted." The business men then Instructed City Attorney Drenning and Mr. David Over myer to proceed with their work of drawing up the new franchise which they were- instructed to draw up at a previous meeting. They were also in structed to embody the report of the committee Into the franchise. Mr. Over myer stated that the franchise would soon be ready for presentation to the council. In the meantime the two attorneys will call the business men and the Edi son company in consulation as the oc casion demands. There is no question but every one who has any connection with the contest to establish lower rates is immensely pleased at the re sult. The Edison company was assured last night by the business men that they would see that the fran chise would go through the city council as proposed. There Is small doubt but the council will act favorably upon the matter as they have been waiting on the two sides to get together. A vote of thanks was extended to the members of the committee by the business men last night. In vivid contrast to other meetings both sides spent a great deal of the night in throwing complimentary bouquets at each other, so gratified were they with the general result of the con ference.

6 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. TRUSTSJOT BAD. William Travers Jerome Sees Good in Some Combines. EriJ, Howeyer, When They Cor rupt Officials, lie Declares. Forest Park, Ottawa, Kan., July 8. There probably were 1,000 persons In the tabernacle when William Trav ers Jerome spoke. He leaned against a piano and talked in a rather low voice that at times caused those in the rear seats to demand that he speak louder, or walked back and forth across the platform smiling at the audience. In manner he reminded many of Governor Folk, and to the lame extent kept the interest of those who heard him from beginning to end. He spoke, without announcing his subject, for exactly one hour. Proud of the West. Mr. Jerome began by saying that he liked the west because of its large in dependence. "It seems to me," said he, "that If the late John Hay had contested with a bootblack in preparing a treatise on the ethics of diplomacy, the produc tion of each would be weighed on its merits alone, and if you thought the bootblack was right, you'd say so. Tou of the west have kept, and do keep, that vital interest in everything and for that I admire you. You are fitted with good minds out here, and you look at the world with healthy eyes. You lack the cynicism of the east, but you should not forget how differently we live. In the west you make mistakes sometimes, of course a bad bond for a state treasurer is taken, or you have a bad failure which no one understands and which may cost you something, but you pick up courage and go again into the field of commerce and make another start to repair the past. Those things are experiments vith you. "In the east, with its dense popula tion, we cannot try those experiments. We must be conservative. In New York, for instance, in the section of the east side where I live, there are more people packed into tenements than are in Topeka. New York city has more people than-are in the whole estate of Kansas; it has more Jews than ever were in Jerusalem, more Irish than would make another Dub lin, more Italians than the pope rules. In such circumstances as those, we often are confronted with problems which in this great west would ,be sim ple. We are distinctly a different people, one may say. You think of us as effete easterners, crushed beneath the iron heel of Pierpont Morgans, Russell Sages and such ilk, and we think of you as down trodden. Popu list ridden Kansans. You think of Wall street and you groan. My dear people, Wall street has legitimate functions. Who is building your rail roads, digging your wells, financing your great undertakings, if not Wall street? When you strike a 'blow at the financial interests of the country, you hurt yourselves. Sees Good In Trusts. "This may not please you, but I did not come all the "way out here to say something to please you. All this talk about trusts is mostly nonsense. I tell you, and I hold no brief from the trusts, that no man has been in a position to know more of the In iquities of trusts than I have been, and yet I declare that nothing In this country has been touched by a trust that has not been caused to grow and Improve. Despicable a man as is John D. Rockefeller, you have only to look at your own country crossroads to find men in a smaller way, doing exactly as he has done. This is busi ness and business is war. This is commerce; this is competition; it is war and strife. I do not say that this is moral. It is immoral. But don't tell me that if the men at the cross roads had more power they would not use it to their own advantage, or that I they would use it any more gently 1 than Rockefeller uses it. "Don't take the things you hear too seriously, these wild cat stories about trusts and the harm they are doing. Everything touched by a trust in this country, I repeat it, has been improved In quality and raised in price. The trusts have given stability to labor. The Bide upon which the trusts are wrong, the side upon which they should be checked, and ruthlessly, too, is that they debauch our public life. Not con tent with the enormous profits they ob tain, they seek gifts at the hands of the people's representatives to which they are not entitled. It is there that I find fault with the trusts. It is there they should be held back. They buy legisla tures, they buy our judges, our admin istrative officers, they produce a moral evil that strikes at me and at you. It brings an atmosphere Into our higher life that makes it go lower and ever lower. Honest Officeholders Rare. "Everywhere I go I am struck with the Idea that the bulk of the people of America are honest and pure and that they want good things. Do you know that despite this disposition the honest man in office is a rarity? When a really honest man gets into office the people rally around him and pat him on the back and say, 'good boy,' simply for the fact that he has kept his hands out of the bag; so low has fallen the esti mate of public life." Mr. Jerome said along these lines that our great constitution was framed with the idea that the will of the people should rule, but gradually there had grown up between them and their will a powerful machine composed of politi cal parties. He wished that the wrath the west would turn on the trust would be directed to the politicians. They had, he said.forgotten the old aph orism revived by Cleveland, that "pub lic office is a public trust" and, at the end had substituted, "private snap." The prevailing sentiment today, he said, is not what is the will of the people, but "What is there in it?" "If you doubt this." said Mr. Jerome, "look at that 'august' body, the United States senate. Take the case of Massa chusetts, for instance Murray Crane, successor to Hoar. There is nothing In the gift of the people of his state that he may not have for the asking, but look at Cabot Lodge. Does anyone that knows Massachusetts believe that he could be elected to anything in which the people had a voice? I don't mean that there's anything wrong with Cabot Lodge; he's about as broad as the edge of a penknife blade, but God made him for a man. so let him pass. He is controlled by a little crowd, one of those little machines, little groups of polltcians. And look at my own state, represented in the United States senate by the 'Honorable' Thomas C. Piatt and one Chauncey M. Depew. You people of the west, think hard of us if you must, out lor neaven s saice, don't think we're so hardened as to be caDable of selecting as our representa tives in the senate such men as those two.- We know, all of us, that if the ceoDle had had a voice in the matter, Cockrell of Missouri would be in the senate now. If thev had a voice what would 'Gas' Addicks get? Did the ueonle of Montana elect Clark? Hut let me connne myseir again to Eiy own state. Except for 'Tim' Sulli- van, who seldom is there, I do not be lieve there is one of our representa-! tives In congress who is there by the will of the people. They are there by the grace of God, 'Pat' McCarren and 'Charley Murphy, who dispense poli tics in- New York. Our institutions are so warped that the average American has two choices: To vote for either this man or that. Isn't it encouraging for a young man to enter politics un der such circumstances? If he refuses to yield to temptation and do the bid ding of the bosses he may be patted on the back by the people, but he'll go forth to political death. "I went in, in New York, by a fluke. I tried to serve the people faithfully, honestly. An election is coming on this fall. Do you think I'm going, hat in hand, to 'Charley' Murphy and ask for a nomination? Who am I and what is he that I should do this? Why should I say: 'By your grace, Mr. Murphy?' Or must I go to the Republican leader and tell him I know Odell is a great and good man and that I know that no dishonest dollar ever touched his fingers and got away? When the times comes that I must do that I'd rather go with Grover Cleveland into innocuous deseu tude," Shot at Prohibition. Mr. Jerome said he had always con tended that there should be two sets of statutes for the country, one to be en forced, the other to contain "moral yearnings," representing the cherished ideals of long-haired men arid short haired women. "I don't think," said he, "that any people ever were actuated by a higher motive than were the people of Maine when they enacted the pro hibitory statutes. And yet supreme jus tices have said that it has made practi cally valueless the oath of that state. The liquor laws all over this country are killing respect for the statutes and the courts because they are unenforci ble. Why, in New York city, where I have labored for 13 years to close the Sunday saloons, no fewer than 6.000 or 7,000 are open every first day. No law can be enforced and kept on the books if it is against the sentiment of the people." Henry Allen Entertains. Mr. Jerome was entertained at din ner yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. K. J. Allen. In the party were William Allen WThite, S. S. McClure, editor of McClure's Magazine; Frank P. Mac Lennan, Mr. Justice of the New York World. Secretary Nusbaum of the Chautauqua association and Mr. Dunn of the Knife and Fork club of Kansas City and Judge Smart of Ottawa. HOCH DOESN'T AGREE. Thinks That Supreme Court Is Wrong About Oil Refinery. Governor E. W. Hoch yesterday after noon dictated and signed a statement concerning the state oil refinery decis ion, supplemental to the short state ment which he made to the State Jour nal Friday afternoon. In this new statement, Governor Hoch takes occasion to criticise the attitude of the supreme court in assuming that the state oil refinery is an internal im provement. He says that in his opinion internal improvements include the con struction of public roads, canals and railroads, and not business enterprises such as characterize the present com mercial era. The following is Governor Hoch's statement: "I cannot say that the decision 18 a surprise to me, because I had to some extent anticipated it. That it Is a con scientious decision from the eminent and excellent gentlemen who constitute our highest judicial tribunal no one will question. "There have always been two ways of construing constitutions. One is repre sented by those who are known as strict eonstitutionists, that is those who confine themselves very closely, if not absolutely, to the letter of the law. The other way by those who breath into the letter a soul, a living spirit. The latter class, and if I were a lawyer or a Judge, I would belong to this class, believe that the law, to use a homely figure, ts like a man in this that it has form and clothing, but that it also has a soul. That the soul of all law is the good or humanity and society. That is the pur pose of all law, organic and statutory. And let me say that in nearly every really great emergency in human his tory when the vital interests of terri tory and humanity were at stake, the courts have looked deep into the soul of the law and have liberally construed its letter to further vitalize its life, be lieving, to use a scriptural phrase, that there are times when the letter killeth but the spirit keepeth alive. There have been emergencies In this country, many of them, when a liberal construction of the constitution has been the salvation of the country, and when the cold, clammy, technical con struction would have wrought an irre parable injury to the country. No framers of the constitution, however wise, can anticipate these energencies. I believe this contest In which we are engaged in this state is such an emer gency. Think of it! The Kansas oil fields are easily capable of a daily out put of 60,000 barrels. A year ago this oil commanded a price from its chief purchaser, the Standard Oil company more than three times its present prices. Does anyone believe the Standard Oil company was losing money in that deal? Does anyone believe that our oil is really and legitimately less valuable now than then as a commercial pro duct? Figure a little. Suppose we are robbed only 60 cents per barrel of leglti mate price on 50,000 barrels per day, and this is a low estimate, simple matne matics will show that nearly 10 mil lions per year Is the tribute this com mercial cormorant exacts trom our peo pis. "Truly has John D. Rockefeller put into practice in Kansas the infamous injunctions to his subordinate managers which Miss Tarbell attributes him in her contribution to this great question. 'Pay no man a profit.' "It would be presumptuous, of course, now that the case has been settled, for me to presume to offer an opinion as to the chief point in controversy, but I will venture to do it anyhow. The de cision seem to be based on the assump tion that the oil refinery will be an in ternal improvement, and therefore con trary to the constitutional Inhibition. The meaning of the language in any document, I think, should be ascertain ed not by the present meaning of these terms, but by their meaning at the time the document was written. "When our constitution was framed and that language was used oil has Just been discovered. Hence, there was no contemplation of an oil refinery at least by the framers of our constitution. Neither were any of the great industrial enterprises that now characterize the business world in such existence as thej are today. Internal improvements then meant, I think, the construction of pub lic thoroughfares, canals, railroads and the like, and did not then mean busi ness enterprises such as we have in this commercial era. "But this is only my opinion on the technical side of the question. I wish the lawyers had sefen otherwise and that w-e might have gone on with this refinery project, because I believe it would have furnished a substantial contribution to the final solution of the whole trust problem. Not that the comparatively insignificant sum which Kansas would have expended in this enterprise would have been a serious menace to the gigantic Standard Oil monopoly, but what I meant was what frightened the Standard Oil company, because it was frightened, as all its squirmings in in this state since the enactment of that law abundantly prove. "Within one year we would have been able to control the price of coal oil in this state as we have controlled the price of binding twine. Indeed I had an .offer from the largest Inde pendent refinery In this country offer ing to operate the Kansas refinery sus tained as it would have been by the supplemental laws, and place the finished product in every town in Kan sas at a price which in saving would have paid for our expenditure over and over within a twelve month. "But the battle is not lost. It will continue in every legitimate way. Let the oil producers be not discouraged. Let them not sacrifice their properties. Far better that this great subterran ean wealth should remain locked up for ten years in the great reservoirs the Almighty has prepared than that it should be pumped into the tanks of a soulless corporation without profit to our people. "E. W. HOCH. Governor." ROBBERS AND THE ROBBED. (Continued from Page One.) legitimate finance any ordinary busi ness mind cannot master in a short time, and nothing about "frenzied finance" requiring either great mental power or intuition to grasp. And the mievery, thuggery and murder of it can all be taken in in half the time it takes the burglar and the pickpocket to acquire a mastery of their profes sions, and in a much briefer period than the successful counterfeiter must put in to imitate successfully the na tion's money. I pledge you my word that I can hire from the newspapers, law and banking offices of the country 5,000 men at from $5,000 to $15,000 per year each, whom in nine months t can educate to become financiers equal in knowledge and capacity to the so-called great financiers about whom you read in your papers. True, I cannot show them how to become thieves and thugs, but I can equip them with an understanding of all the devices used in the game of making millions over night. An Overnight Made Financier. Take, for instance, John A. McCall, president of the New York Life, and recognized in Wall street as a very great financier. A few years ago this wonderful person was an ordinary, hard working insurance agent who knew no more about tne business of the nation of stocks or bonds and "frenzied fin ance" than one of my $l,000-a-year clerks as much, but no more. By those pulls and hauls, slips and slides of city politics with which you are all as famil iar as I, John A. McCall got into the in surance department of New York state, and presently there was an explosion in the great New York Life Insurance company, an explosion which was heard round the world. This corporation had been built up by one of the early gen eration of "frenzied financiers, a man who originated some of the methods of working insurance graft which have since become classic. But his opera tions, were conducted on a limited scale. for he shared his swag with few he didn't make any "divvy" with the lead ers of the Wall street grafters, or, per haps, he might have avoided the explo sion. There were examinations and in vestigations, and something the same kind of scandal we are now having In the Equitable, and the windup was that Pres Beers was fired and John A. McCall, w-ho had learned so many se crets while in the insurance department of the state of New York as to make his services desirable to the Equitable, was put into the reorganized New York Life Insurance company as president with a salary of $100,000 per year and the absolute control for all practical purposes of its hundreds of millions of assets and its scores of millions of sur plus. The next morning after John A. Mc Call's election as president of the New York Life Insurance company he was one of the great American financiers. for he had learned over night the un fathomable mysteries you are told the masses cannot comprehend. And this same John A. McCall only a few years ago an insurance agent at a ;mall sal ary. is one of America's multimillion aires, for he has been able to save from the salary the policyholders pay him for the use of his great intelligence during the brief term of his presidency of the New York Life, a fortune of from $10,- 000,000 to $15,000,000. Ryan, King of Frenzied Finance, You all know I hollered "Thief so loudly in my story "Frenzied Finance" that the officers and directors of the Equitable Life Insurance, company got alarmed, and two factions began grab bing for the control of the institution so as to put the evidence of past rob beries out of sight before the people closed in on them. They made such a rumpus in their fighting that the aur thorities were -compelled to take cog nizance of the scandal, and then in their panic such a condition of rottenness was uncovered that something had to be done to straighten out the muddle. It was one of those sharp crises which even the system is sometimes unexpected ly confronted with, and something had to be done quickly to appease you American people whose $400,000,000 of savings were involved. How did they deal with this terrine situation their bars all down, Wall street at a stand still, the people of the country rising in their wrath? Did they go out and select some man of unquestioned probity and character to rehabilitate the devastated institution? No, hurriedly they met at night and next morning it was an nounced to the world that the whole affair had been properly, fairly and squarely settled, and that the people need have no further fear for the safe ty of their surplus, for one Thomas F. Ryan had purchased from the discredit ed ,Hyde five hundred and two shares of the Equitable stock for two and a half million dollars and that "he would see that no one else got away with the hundreds of millions of your savings which the great Equitable company holds. You must know that these five hundred and two shares for which Ryan was willing to pay two and a half mil lion are only entitled, lgeally, to re ceive $3,500 per annum, in dlvidends.and are actually worth, at the outside, not more than $100,000. As his representa tive, Mr. Ryan appointed Mr. Paul Mor ton, the rebate-giving vice president of the Atchison railroad, to manage the corporation and to see to it that you policy holders are given a square deal. Who are these two men to whom you are asked to trust the support of your wives and children and mothers in case of your death? Personally I know neither of them, and in their individual capacity I am told they are good fel lows. Mr. Ryan, they say, is a generous and whole-souled gentleman, who gives back to the people-in charity, just as other srood fellows do a mill on each of the dollars he takes from the people In business. Mr. Morton, I read the other day, is a first-class man, and the man who said it said he knew and his say-, so was good enough for me for he is one of dame fortune's pets.-one of na ture's pickings, the best man in the country today President Roosevelt. But about Rvan. You may have read what a certain Baltimore banker of high reputation ?nd standing, John Skelton Williams, president of the Sea- Doara air line, has been telling aDout the manner in which he obtained con trol of this important railway system for a comparatively small sum of money, and how, since, in defiance of promises and agreements and other pledges, he has held on to it, bleed ing it to the extent of $3,000,000 by his clever manipulation. This distin guished Baltimorean points to the new owner or tne Eauitable as a con scienceless man whose strongest im pulse is to gain money, and his one ro bust passion to keep it. Patient, emo tionless, able, he is an acquiring ma chine and operates himself for the purpose of getting what others have," says Banker Williams. It was this Ryan who emerged with a railway franchise on Broadway, the basis of the present Metropolitan railway sys tem, from the Jake Sharp boodle scandal in New York. He helped W. C. Whitney acquire the 3d-av railroad after forcing down its stock m tne market and cornering its owiiers. He formed the notorious tobacco trust. and also the national bank of Com merce in New York and he is now working to secure the building of the New York subwav. Indeed, he is one of the very choicest representatives of the genus, "frenzied financier," in tnis country today, and in executing the immense projects he has 'the daring to conceive he Is deterred by no scru ples. It is not so many years ago that this Thomas F. Ryan, soon after put ting together the various subcom panies which form the tobacco trust, had been balked in floating some hun dred odd millions of bonds and stocks on the public at three and four times their real value, and was pinched for ready money. At about r this time a New York bank examiner pounced down suddenly on one of his trust companies. Among the securities of this corporation, the State Trust com pany, was a note signed by one Dan Shea, for $2,000,000. As it was a criminal offense for the trust company to loan on any one name, never mind how good the collateral, over a small fraction of this note, the examiner called in the officers and directors and gave them a choice of telling wnat they knew about Mr. Shea, or sum moning them before the grand jury. Thereupon, Mr. Ryan boldly an nounced that Shea was his 14-year-old office y.-yy on $6.50 a week. This is the same Thomas F. Ryan who has been called in as the savior of the 600,000 policyholders of. the Equita ble with its $400,000,000 odd of ac cumulated funds. He is a sturdy and powerful person, this same Ryan, and if you think the discovery of this transaction phazed him, you don't realize the caliber of the Wall street winner. He weathered the storm all right, transferred all his tobacco stocks and bonds to the Morton trust company, and calmly pursued his ac customed ways. Today he is cred ited with possessing $60,000,000 and he is young yet, and "still a-coming," as they say on Wall street. Paul Morton. As for Paul Morton, you of the west know more about his morals and methods than I do, for he ran your Atchison road, and when he was testi fying before the .interstate commerce commission as to the rebate evu, calmly admitted it was a bad prac tice, but that he allowed It because he had to do as the Romans did. I don t know myself just what Romans do, but as I said before, President Roose velt said Morton was an rignt, ana that's good enough for me. but wheth er the president meant that he was all right enough to run the 600,000 Equitable policyholders' 412 millions as lieutenant for the frenzledest of all frenzied financiers in the home of 'frenzied finance," Is something I must teave to our good president to answer. You must have noticed that I have not said anything about the appoint ment of the three eminently respect able gentlemen Who compose Mr. Ryan's voting trust in charge of the Equitable. To quote John Skelton Williams again, "Mr. Ryan has de veloped the voting trust game to a science. It enables him to work in secret and reach out and take so that those who are deprived, while feeling their loss, cannot quite see who ha3 obtained or how." And Mr! Williams is just now up against one of Mr. Ryan s voting trusts, it is unneces sary to discuss further the parts or Messrs. Cleveland, O'Brien and West inghouse. except perhaps to say that I believe their intentions are excellent. These illustrations of "frenzied finance" I have set before you to show in a round way what this inscrutable and deeply scientific business wnicn Wall street tells you Is incomprehen sible to the untrained mind really amounts to. When our nation was organized it was on the basis that all Americans were free and equal and that the country belonged to the people. No man or class of men had any inherent right to the labors of other men, and all men owned themselves and the re sults of their individual work. From the earnings of each it was agreed that a fair sum should De deducted for the cost of government, but the people decided what this amount should be and who should take charge of it and its expenditure. There was no misunderstanding or room for in direction about these arrangements, nd they seemed to insure to all a square division of such benefits as ac crued to the nation. This meant that if the nation throve all the people shared in the prevailing prosperity in due proportion to their part in Dring lng it about. Locate the Stolen Billions. First we must locate these billions, for they cannot have vanished off the face of the earth; then we must decide if those in whose possession they now are came by them honestly, that Is, let us look if there is anything in our laws whereby possession of these billions could be obtained without stealing them. Refore the eves of the American peo pie today stand forth a little handful of men. risen irom tneir own nuina. who within the last 30 years have grownj f -1 i ,i richer ana more poweriui man m-r kings, princes, earls and dukes of those lands where the people are not free and 1. In the ownership of these men is more money than all the rest of the neople have gathered, and so potent havs thev become through the applica tion of their riches that they can buy and sell the law-makers and law-aamm istrators and the courts of justice which the people had created for the admin istration of their laws and the defense of their equal rights. What is more, these same men have so entrenched tnmiv iinnn the banks of the chan nels of commerce that they control the production of all the necessaries and luxuries of the nation so absolutely that when the people buy they must pay the price they fix, just as though these men were the overlords of all the people, as the czar and grand dukes or nussia are lords of the perrons of the subjects. What is more, they dominate also the banks and trust companies in which the savings of the people are earning but 3 and 4 per cent, and with these savings they earn for themselves 100 to LOCO per cent. In the pride of their powers and possessions these same men grow more insolent in flaunting their riches and their superiority to the law of the nation in the face of the people, for they know that by the operation of (Continued oa Page Seven.) MARKETSJODAY. Profit Taking Causes a Weakness in Wheat. Bearish Sentiment in Corn Due to Large Receipts. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Cattle Prices Unchanged Sa tires Bring $4.25 to 5.75. Hogs Quoted Steady to Five Cents Lower. Chicago, July 8. WHEAT Under gen eral profit taking the wheat market here today had a decidedly weak undertone. Generally clear weather in the northwest was the principal reason for the selling pressure. In addition lower prices at Liv erpool had a depressing effect. As a result of rains throughout Kansas, the market opened quite tirm, with September up c to c at 88c to 88c, but offerings were so liberal that prices soon declined, Seo tember, dropping to 87c Minneapolis, Duiuth and Chicago reported receipts of 149 cars, against 148 cars a year ago. The market continued weak the entire session, prospects of clear weather for to morrow having considerable influence. For September the lowest point of the day was reached at 87c. The market closed weak with September down presicely lc at 87c CORN Larger receipts than estimated created bearish sentiment in the corn market. Weakness of wheat gave addi tional encouragement to bears. Septem ber opened c lower to c higher at 6614c to SUVc, and declined to 66c. Later September declined to 55c. The market closed weak with September down &c at 56(?T.c. OATS Notwithstanding the weakness of other grains, a steady tone prevailed in the oats market. A fair demand from commission houses was responsible for the comparative firmness. September opened a shade to c higher at 31!&c to 31c and later sold at 3114c. PROVISIONS Provisions were firm nn a fair demand from shorts. A 5c advance in the price of live hoes started the buy ing. September pork was up 10c at $12.87.

THE TOPEKA STATE J OURN A TTTTID A Y EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. 7 V 1 1 .1 I JOBBERS AND THE ROBBED. (Continued from Page Six.) the financial mechanism thev have cre ated the time must come when the own ership of all the wealth of this great land must fall into their hands and the people be reduced to actual servitude. This is no fancy picture, men and women of Kansas: no wail of pessinism; o wolf cry to needlessly alarm you, but blunt and forthright statement of the conditions actually underlying your boasted civilization. Today at every gate, turn and current of your exlstance the enemy stands guard and compels tribute. They fix arbitrarily the prices you must pay for every pound of food you eat, every stitch of clothing you wear, every stick of timber in the nouses that shelter you, every hod of coal you burn, every pint of oil you consume, ev ery foot of gas, every book you read, very mile of transportation on land or on sea, for yourselves or for the goods you sell or buy. Yes, preposterous as it may seem, what the American people shall receive for the products of their labor or their capital, what they shall receive for their labor itself, labor of body or mind, is as despotically estao lished for them as if actually they were inlnd and body slaves of these few men as though the law said. '"You are not tree; you are not equal, oniy as mrac fw mfm nllnw vou to be.' Confronted by the facts I have set before you, and realizing tne condition you have allowed yourselves to fall Into, you ask each other, "Who are these Rockefellers and Carnegies and Havemeyers that have gained hundreds of millions during the years we have s. but kept soul and body together? Ot what are they made, and how came -Ahe great powers they have achieved? We have had our Washingtons, our Lincolns, our Websters, our Longfel lows, our Emersons, our Edisons, Bella, Howes, Morses our inventors of incan descent light, telephones, sewing ma chines and telegraphs but none of these men, or all together, made $500,000,000, or controlled our luxuries and neces saries as these men do." Are Billions Samsons? "Surely," you say, "these Rockefellers and Carnegies and Armours and Rog erses are men of greater than common moid; surely they have 100 arms and 1,000 legs and eyes, the thews of Samson and the wisdom of Solomon." You see them, and lo! they are but as other men only meaner, more cruel, more cowardly. These men are no dif ferent to the rest of us, save that they are Machiavellis in their trickery, Ju dases in their treachery. Apaches in their cruelty. In comparison to our Lincolns and our Jeffersons these men are as eagles to snipes. Then it bursts upon you that there surely is something terribly wrong in our body politic, that a cancerous growth has seized upon the vitals of our American institutions and is draining and rotting their blood and fiber. You say, "How has this come about? It is to this question I am here to reply, and for this I have come from the money-tainted centers of the east to these grand stalking grounds of nature, where the strength of our nation has now its abiding place. Men and women of Kansas, mine is the task of the schoolmaster, for I am here to tell you how Standard Oil and the "System," the great organizations of these few men who have usurped the wealth and power of the people, have hypnotized you into believing that 2 and 2 make 22- instead of only 4, and how you can punish them for their decep tion, compel restitution of the billions they have filched and tricked away N from you, and then render it impossible -s ever to repeat the plundering. Three Ways to Rob the People. To begin with,, in a country in which the majority rule there are but three ways whereby the few can concentrate In themselves the power over all the people: By force The few by boldness might conquer and enslave a timid populace. But this is not a condition that could occur to the American people. By the consent of the people When that happens there will be no American people. Without their knowledge Through guile and trickery. The only way a free people can be come the debtor slaves of a few of their number is through this minority secretly creating artificial economic conditions which secure to them the results of the labor of the majority without returning it fair value. There have been Shylocks in all ages of the world, for it is no new thing for na tions as well as individuals to find the barriers they have erected to protect their equal rights converted into the battlements of their enemies. When a people discover that the honorable rules it has made for the regulation of commercial relations between Its in dividuals have been tampered with for the benefit of the dishonest few. it la their legal and moral duty and right to correct the perversion and undo the wrongs wrought through it. This may he done by one of two methods re shaping the laws and proceeding by cue legal process to deprive the few of the profits their evasion has gained for them; or by the many compelling the -."few to submit to the same artificial condition which they had created for the plundering of the many. This latter can be accomplished without new or special legislation, and con stitutes the best plan of amendment, for it is a dangerous practice for a great people arbitrarily to make laws to deprive one class of something for another's benefit. Such law may work well enough when it takes from the bad who have stolen and restores to the good what they have lost, but there is ever the dangerous responsi bility of a decision as to who is good and who bad, what Is honest prop erty and what dishonest. If the peo ple take it on themselves to vindicate their rights by legislating property out of one hand into another, who shall prevent the powers of evil using the precedent for their own bad pur poses should they gain later absolute ascendancy In the nation? I am flat footedly opposed to one class of our people depriving another class of its property by special laws, for that way lies anarchy; but I am glad to say that the wrongs I am here to disclose to you can be righted without pro ceeding to such extremities. There are three ways through which the American people's share of the prosperity of their nation has been siphoned into the pockets of the "system." Mliing More Dangerous Than Cutting Corns.

When our country was organized specific laws were made governing the issuance of the money which should measure the worth of the people's la bels, and thes presented its kind, its value and the conditions of its crea tion. During all these years the source and value of our currency hat been protected from the meddling machina tions of the "system," so that during the last 30 years the money of the peo ple hns only increased from $1,500," 000,000 to $2,500,000,00. Banks and Trust Companies. With the creation of money came banks, safety places for safeguarding and husbanding it. Subsequently trust companies were added: Insurance companies came into existence, and corporations were organized to, facili tate the handling or tne great ousi ness affairs of the people. These In stitutions constitute the collection agencies of the "System." Into the banks and trust companies the peo ple put their savings, and Into the insurance companies they paid ex orbitant premiums. Immense sums of money the people's share of the prosperity of the nation were piled into these several institutions, and then the "system" set about capturing these funds for themselves. Railways, gas, water, oil, mines, manufactories and other corporations were organized and stocks and bonds issued many times beyond the value of the proper ties they were founded upon, and then the "system" said to the people: "For your service, we have creat ed these institutions, and you must give us a legal right to charge you prices for transportation, light and all your other necessities and luxuries that win enable us to pay interest rates on the paper tokens of value It has been necessary for us to put forth." Privileges to Corporations. So the people or their legislatures granted them the privileges they de manded and then the "system" came again to the people and said: "You have large sums of money In the banks earning low interest rates. Well, here are valuable stocks and bonds which at the prices we have put on tnem, win make you a much larg er return than 3 and 4 per cent. We advise you to exchange your savings tor tnese securities, and if you have not money enough to pay for all you want, the banks will loan you what you need." Thus tempted the people exchanged their real money for these paper tokens of inflated value, and held them in their strong boxes. As the country grew, business naturally increased so that the stocks and bonds earned easily the revenues necessary to pay interest on them, but instead of charg ing lower rates, the "System" capital ized this prosperity issued more stocks and bonds, which they sold In exenange for the money the people had meantime been gathering in the banks and trust companies, until dur ing the last thirty years corporation toKens or value nave increased from $3,000,000,000 to $60,000,000,000. Whenever during this period objection was made to the high charges that were being exacted for transportation and the luxuries and necessities cover ed by these corporation tokens, the "system" met them with an argument after this style: "The stock and bonds in the properties you are threatening are owned by the people. If you re duce the charges you will prevent us from paying the people fair rates of interest, and therefore you are an an archist. So often have the people heard such arguments that they have got it into their heads that It is wrong or dangerous to reduce corporation charges. Thus we have the "system utilizing its banks, trust and insurance com panies to gather in the savings of the people, and then exchanging thl3 real money for the fictitious securities that it had created. The profit here has been the difference between the cost of the properties and the total of the stocks and bonds they have sold the public. But the people whose monev has been used to make these gains have no share in them. This is the very kernel of the nation's financial trouble. The process I have described is but one of their devices for trans ferring to themselves the real money of the people. Here is a second. From time to time it is the habit of the "system" to artificially create a money stringency and call in all the loans they have made to enable the people to buy all the stocks and bonds they wanted, whereupon the prices of these securities have shrunk tremendously, and the people, growing alarmed, have thrown them overboard or back to the system at half what thev had oaid for them. Thus the "system" has had returned to its possession all the stocks and bonds representing the ownership or me great corporations of the coun try, and at the same time it has the money the people paid for these prop erties. You begin to see now something of the process by which your share of the prosperity of the country has been diverted to the pockets of a few men. The processes I have described have been repeated at frequent intervals In the last 30 years hence Rockefeller's sou millions and Carnegie's 400 mil lions, and the Goulds' 150 millions., Labor and Inflation. The Irresistibleness of this InflatJon- of-securities process is not confined to its virtue as a trap for the money of the people. When labor demands an increase of wage because the growth and prosperity of the country- nave sweiiea tne revenues of the rail roads and the gas and oil and steel factories and the same high prices are oeing cnarged ror tne luxuries and necessities of the people, the "sys tem's" answer is: You can have no nart In this prosperity because even with the In creased earnings of our properties, we have barely sufficient to meet the In terest charges on our fictitious stock and bonds, and you must respect the inalienable rights of even fictitious bonds and stocks to interest." I have spoken of the methods of capitalizing the prosperity of the na tion as one of the most fertile sources of the fortunes of the few men who have made themselves the money kings of this country. In the case of the great railway corporations es pecially, it nas been the practice of the directors to issue new stocks and bonds as quick as their lines begin to show a surplus of earnings over In terest charges. Millions of these they have allotted to themselves; millions more they sold to the public on the plea of requiring the money for ex tensions. You know the origin of the great western railway systems of America, Fifty years ago, we of the east came to the pioneers of the west, your fathers and grandfathers, and said: "This is a great country, but you must have railroads to build it up. We will supply you the money to con struct them if you make it worth our while;" and your fathers asked, '"What is a fair trade for us to make?" There was a real risk then, for the country vna young ana xnmiy settled, and we, the capitalists, thoueht w have at least 100 per cent profit for the use of the money we thus put In peril. In addition, we were given land grants and special privileges, and It was understood between us. that you, the people would willingly pay large freight and passenger rates so w should eventually have at least 10 per cent on our investment. At the same ume, it was tacitly agreed by us and understood by you, that when this 10 per cent was being earned, we had then received the equiva lent of our 100 per cent profit, for securities worth par, returning 10 per cent, have a market value of at least 200. When this had naturally accrued, we had received ail we were legitimately entitled to for the use of our money, and It was understood, tacitly, for at the time there was no thought of treachery or double deal ing, that such additional earnings as accrued through the increase of. popu lation and the development of the country should be used to reduce the rates of fares and freights to the peo ple. This was a perfectly fair arrange ment between honest men, and by it each side had an interest in the suc cess of the venture. None of you doubt for a moment that If, when the building of the Atchison railroad was begun, the people of Kanasas and of the other states which it traversed, had said to the capitalists who were building it, "We -will have a hard and. fast law enacted which will in effect mean that for the next 1000 years to come, you shall be entitled to but 100 per cent profit on you investment and that all other profit shall come back to us in the form of reduced rates, which means reduced prices for the transportation of our necessities and our luxuries" you have no doubt that if such a law had been passed, it would have been perfectly satisfactoy to the capitalists and they would have done for you In the matter of extensions and improvements all that they have done for themselves? But, fortunately, no such law was passed, though you know and I know that there is a great moral law, which, if lived up to, would work exactly the same result. Railroad Iiobbering. But what happened the eastern cap italist, finding himself In favored pos session of a railroad property travers ing a fertile section of our country, con ceived that no one had any right or In terest therein but himself, and when, because of the generous rates he was allowed to exact from the people who patronized his line, its revenues rep resented 10 per cent interest on his In vestment, he proclaimed that this great success was the reward of his inherent ability and unusual daring, and pro ceeded to educate the world to the be lief that no one save the holders of its stocks and bonds had any rights In the railroad; that these were especially sacred, being vested rights, and who ever attempted to interfere with them was a law-breaker and an anarchist. Forgetting the people to whose gen erous tolerance of his high rates his success was due, and who, according to all the laws of fair play, were tacit partners in his venture, our capitalist proceeded to add a second 100 per cent profit to the capitalization of his rail road, and from time to time, as the revenues of the property grew up to and exceeded, or showed that they would exceed, the interest charges on his stocks and bonds, he added still further to the capitalization until today this rail road and all of its breed, together with other forms of corporate wealth, have out billions upon billions of stocks and bonds, representing a total preposterous ly out of proportion to the original in vestment, but upon which the public must still pay fares and freight high enough to yield Interest. So here is An other place where your share ,of the prosperity of the country has been filch ed and diverted. Milking the People Through Banks. I have told you generally how the few. the "system," have got posses sion of the wealth' of the people. 'Let me now show you, specifically, an in stance of the '"system's" machine at work. A citizen of Kansas puts his money in the local bank, This bank keeps its deposits In the big banks in Chicago, and the big banks in Chicago keep their deposits in the "Standard Oil" banks In New York. The man in Kansas does not know his money is being used by the "system."' He knows nothing about where it' Is or what is being done to It. lie gets i or 4 per cent for it. Well, some votary of the system conceives the idea that there would be great profit in combining all the great steel companies into a trust, and he puts the project before Morgan and his associates, who take hold of the project and borrow the money of their own banks and the "Standard till banks, and buy up the huge plants in Pittsburg, Buffalo and Chicago all but Carnegie's. For these they pay some 300 millions of dollars. Carnegie looks over the situation and decides that the new trust must have his plants or fall to the ground, and he says to Morgan and his associates: 'You need what I have got to round out your scheme, and you must pay me for my mills, on which an option has recently expired for 200 millions, the sum of 300 millions. If you don't, I will block your game of robbing the people, whereas, if you do, your mon opoly will' be perfect. You can flood the American people with stocks and bonds to any amount, and, what is more, you can charge the consumers of our products any price you care to ask, and so make not only what I bleed you for but hundreds of mil lions besides." Steel Trust. Morgan and his men paid Carnegie's price. They could do nothing else, for they were on the highway, bent on a gigantic robbery, and, as he said, they required what he had. A new com pany is organized, and what do you think It was capitalized for? The 300 millions the other plants had cost and Carnegie's 300 millions 600 millions? No, but for $1,500,000,000, bonds, pre ferred stock and common stock more than half of all the money of the peo ple of the United states. Thus the United States Steel company, the greatest trust in the world, began busi ness. My friends, just run over with me what this huge trust must earn each year, regardless of all conditions and all economic fluctuations, to meet its obligations. It must earn 5 per cent on 674,923,000 bonds and 7 per cent on 360.281,000 preferred stock before a cent can be applied to the $508,303,- 000 common stock issued. All over the country the newspapers and the brokers and the great chorus of financial touts began intoning to the people what a tremendous affair the steel trust was, how valuable its se curities must become, what a fine rate of interest It paid on Its bonds, pre ferred and common stocks (you will re member, it began by paying 4 per cent on its 500,000,000 of common stock) and that this return was nothing in com parison with the golden harvest that the future promised. Thereupon the people poured In their savings to the extent of hundreds of millions of dol lars, and borrowed from banks eager to loan on these valuable securities, hun dreds of millions more. When the "sys tem" had fairly unloaded Its 1,500,000,000 of securities, It cut the dividend on the common stock, and later ceased paying it altogether. There followed a long period of depression during which the selling price of the 1,000,000,000 odd steel stocks dropped two-thirds of their or iginal value, and the 600,000,000 of bonds dropped one-third below their orglnal selling price. The banks called their loans; a situation of artificial strin gency was created; interest rates were advanced, and the people poured out their treasured stocks and bonds upon the market. The result was that "Standard Oil," with your funds depos ited in its banks, entered the market and bought up those hundred of mil lions of securities at bargain prices and the people lost over $500,000,000. This la no romance, but the facts of what oc curred during the last three years in the affairs of the greatest trust in the world. One year ago the 888,583,000 pre ferred and common steel stocks had roughly a market value of $227,000,000, and at these figures "Standard Oil" went In and bought enough to make it the dominant -factor in the corporation, ousting J. Pierpont Morgan and his as sociates Who-"had organised It. Today the "system's"- machinery Is filling the papers, the' "News Bureaus"- and the air with stories of the value of "Steel preferred" and "Steel common" and the two stocks have mounted from their low valuation at which they were pur chased and now have a market value of over $533,000,000. There "Standard Oil" and the "system" is keeping them poised and eminent financial touts are busy explaining to the' public, to the widows and orphans and trustees what an excellent Investment these securi ties are. If the public bite and ex change their savings for these stocks, the "system" will have made a profit of several hundred millions and later will repeat the process, for, take my word for it, VS. S. Steel will again drop to 50 cents on the dollar or lower. This particular instance la one of the most glaring examples of the "sys tem's" methods of gathering in your savings, and when you look over the several Immense profits represented in this steel transaction alone, you will begin to grasp where some more of your share of the country's prosperity has gone to. Ufe Insurance Plundering. The great life insurance corporations specially designed by the people for the protection of their widows and orphans have become a potent arm-of the "sys tem's" robbing machine. Under its guidance premium charges far beyond the sums necessary to meet the annual death losses and expenses have been charged policy holders on the pretext that it is proper for such institutions to keep on hand sums large enough to liquidate all their outstanding obliga tions at any moment The people sub mitted to this exaction, though they well knew that no such contingency could possibly occur, but they believed their laws and their insurance depart ments absolutely safe-guarded their savings, and they were willing to make any sacrifice to insure their dear ones from want in case of untimely death. Enormous sums were thus accumulated by these great corporations, and the "frenzied financiers," not daring to steal these millions outright, set out to devise safe ways of annexing them and milk ing and bleeding them for their own profit. This is about the procedure. The directors of these great Institutions or ganize banks or trust companies. In which they deposit millions of the In surance companies' funds. When a new railroad is laid out or a steel trust pro moted by other frenzied financiers the insurance directors are let in in consid eration of allowing the use of the in surance companies' funds to start "off the deal with. Next, the same directors buy of the frenzied financiers, on behalf of their companies,- large amounts of the enormously inflated stocks and bonds of the new trust or railroad, thereby deriving millions themselves from their own share in the enterprise millions that rightfully belong to the insurance company through whose funds they have been made-..- The next step is using the insurance money to manipu late the prices of the stocks and bonds of the new corporations on- the market, raising them still higher and then un loading on the public. This Is about the process upon which-these- directors plume themselves when they direct the people's attention each year-to the fact that, in addition to attending to the in surance business, they1, had made money for the policy holders but of their stock gambling operations. The misguided policy holders, taken In by the appar ent splendor of these performances, have patted their directors approvingly on the back instead of taking them by the nape of their necks, and sayiny; "You scoundrels, what do we want ot this kind of money? Do you suppose we think you have worked magic? This money was made out. of our fellows. What have you given' them In return for the millions you have stolen for us, and the other millions you have stolen for yourselves? Do you suppose we don't know If the stocks and bonds you have bought doubled in price that It Is because the people are to be charged excessive prices for some services ren dered?" Terible Consequences. And the consequences all seems well enough today, for the land stiu yields plenteously, the rains have been generous, and the skies are fair but sooner or later must recur a period when nature frowns and sends her floods, her drouths, her epidemics of disease. Are you prepared Dy tne years of your prosperity to sustain such an ordeal? Is it not true that few of you have enough laid by to last you over 30 days of such an unlucky Interval? Bryan Robbed of Presidency. What ot-p von eroinar to do about It? You know that the economic condition which allows the few to possess all and the many are lett witn notmng, must be ended. If It Is not, slavery is the alternative. How 6hall it be end ed? Bv vour ballots? wnat are Dai- lots against dollars, and the "system has unlimited dollars. With $5,000,000 I saw Rogers rob the able, fearless. honest, but-all-wrong-on-th e-money- question, William Jennings jsryan out of the presidency of the Uinted States in 1896. Do you imagine he would shrink from repeating the operation in 1908 if he feared that the man you nominate would upset his control? Roosevelt Bound Hand and Foot. Today at the helm of your affairs Is an able and fearless American, bold to conceive and strong to execute. To all of you he Is a- hero, and you are be hind him, ready to back up 'his course wherever he sees fit to go. President Roosevelt knows it, and today no man in the country is more keenly aware of the necessity of curbing the corpor ate desootism under which we- live but what can President Roosevelt do? I hate to say it Jut he is as helpless in the "system's" net as a bull in a balloon. Like Gulliver In Lilliputia, he is bound by 1,000 threads con gress, the senate, the party's interests, and gratitude, and all the intangible influences which the great money pow er can weave round any individual. How brave and quick the president is to do! A wrong is called to his atten-, tion, a law must needs be passed the rebate evil must be curbed, and he sends messages to congress demanding instant action. What happens? Con gress temporizes: the senate snubs him, and the "system" snickers. Courts Bought. The courts there again the "sys tem's" dollars are all powerful. I do not say all our judges are slaves of "Standard Oil." or that justice is in variably and inevitably in this coun try today a matter of barter and sale, but the "system" is In politics and our judges are nominated by political bosses under conditions all of you are familiar with. I do say though that our great corporations, to gain their ends and to keep possession of the plunder they have taken, do not hesi tate to suborn perjury, bribe juries, and pay- judges for favorable decis ions. Municipal and Federal Ownership. You think; some of you, that the solution of our trouble is in municl pal and federal ownership of our pub- 1 c utilities. I hate to oppose your op timistic Impression that In the people's administration of the railroads and gas companies lies the panacea for our deep rooted troubles. Before I left home, I was asked not to disturb "nation's new glowing hope that in this way safety lies. I was asked to take the presidency of a national league for political ownership which Is being organized, but I must be true to my convictions and I must not tem porize with the facts as I know them. Municipal ownersihp is a will-o'-the-wisp. The "system", circulates the idea of it among the people to keep them out of mischief. It is a rattle and a rubber ring for the country to play witn. If Rogers and Rockefeller and the other frenzied financiers were starting over again, they would ask nothing better than to begin in a world in which all the banks, railroads and manufactures were in the hands of the government because they could steal them easier, quicker, cheaper and more safely from elected authorities than from Individual owners.- Make no mistake about my attitude on this question. The. house of the Ameri can people is on fire; I believe the flames can be put out in time to save the structure and without sacrificing the lives of the inmates, but if some of those on the top stories get impa tient at the heat and conclude to drop from the windows on to the munici pal and federal ownership grass, let them try their luck. I believe they stand a chance of breaking their necks or their limbs, thereby missing the fight to extinguish the fire and save the house. I advise them strong ly against the experiment for very good reasons. Let us look at municipal and federal ownership, and tell investors frankly what it means. It means that the bal lot box becomes the general manager of the street car lines, the gas and waterworks and- the big railway sys tems. What does the ballot box know except of votes? What influence only is it susceptible to votes! You are not new to politics the profession of voters and you know Its fruits and its flowers. They are about to try an experi ment in municipal ownership in Chi cago, the city infamous for its poor street car service. If the "system" is able to corrupt ,the lawmakers and law administrators who have all these years connived at the wretched man agement of the Chicago railways, what possible hope can there be of relief when the roads are actually under the management of city officials elected in the same way as the lawmakers and administrators whose weakness and wickedness have been so manifest? Let us suppose the "System" organizes a campaign to regain, at a reduced price, the railway properties It has sold the public Could it not first, through corrupt means, elect its own agents to manage the railway lines? They would find it no difficult task to disgust the public with their bargain. Or, failing here, could they not as easily use their dollars to corrupt the servants of the people In charge of the road to render so poor a service that the citizens would be glad to turn back the property to the old owners, just as Philadelphia did years ago with its gas company? The many resist less strongly than the few. Stealing a railway from individuals tests the power ot the "System," for the indi viduals fight for high prices; but it is a simple1 task to wrest one from the government, for what is every one's interest Is ho one's concern. Success ful administration of public utilities is incompatible with political considera tions, and if tried In this country is bound to prdve a disappointment and a failure. If it were possible to bring it about, I believe it would set back the relief .which the people must have at least 100 years. Don't Jump for Your lives. Remember, I am only opposed to municipal and federal ownership of public utilities requiring the services of thousands of employes. I believe strongly that there are some utilities that the government is better fitted to administer than the ablest Individuals. My experience has taught me that there are institutions catering to the public whose affairs can be conducted with the minimum of machinery. For instance, the three great Insurance companies of the country the New York Life, Mutual and Equitable are ripe for government direction and could be handled to tremendous ad vantage by Uncle Sam. Today these three concerns have a billion and a quarter of assets, and under the meth od of management in vogue, they must hold vast sums of money, or Its equivalent, on hand to keep solvent their contracts or policies. This great accumulation Is a constant temptation to the men who have charge of It, to use it for their own profit, a ripe men ace to the people's interests. Think what it would mean to the policy hold ers in these huge institutions if to morrow President Roosevelt could with a wave or his hand take posses sion of their billion and a quarter of assets, turn them into the federal treasury m the form of cash, first selling all the riffraff which they have piled up during the past so years! With the. federal government's guar antee stamped across the face of every policy, it would become as good as a government bond. All the government would have to do would be to have each policy holder once a year pay In at its custom houses, its postoffices or its subtreasuries the actual amount of money necessary to pay what his policy called for. This would at once reduce the ex pense of running these institutions, eliminate graft and Immensely cheap en the charge for insurance. The re duction of insurance premiums to a fair amount annually would relieve one of the greatest drains on the income of the people, and, above all, the "sys tem's" mechanism would be deprived of one of its main flywheels. But President Roosevelt cannot under the constitution of the United States per form this act, so we must look else where for relief. His Plan. Long before I had to do with "Stand ard Oil" or the "system" I was con vinced that the form of finance which wrought such Inquitities as I have desig nated must certainly end in great dis aster unless checked, and I applied my self to studying its operation to dis cover Its underlying errors. Years ago I worked out for myself the formula through which the great fortunes of the few have been created, and then de vised what I call my remedy for the correction of the abuse. To convince the American people that the way in which they have been accustomed to doing their business all these years was wrong was a task so formidable and so revolutionary that I shrank from attempting it without first equip ping myself to meet the bitter resist ance I knew I should encounter. So I started In and made a few millions to pay expenses while the fight was on. Where do you suppose I would be now, after one year of campaigning against frenzied finance, if I had not previously earned dollars enough to pay for ammuni tion and defence? In the pauper's field by way of the morgue, or rotting in some unmarked grave. Intimate in tercourse furnished me a thorough knowledge of the cost and danger of defying the things of high finance. I know that the men I am attacking would not hesitate at any crime they could commit without periling their own safety, and it is this last con tingency that has protected me ao far. Farm Loans Wanted MERRIAM MORTGAGE CO. Successor to T. E. Bowman Co., Topeka, Kansas Lowest Rates. Option to Make Partial Pay ments at Any Interest Period. NO DELAY IN FURNISHING MONEY You have all noticed that during this long, haid year, though they have abused and vilified me and mine, there are two things they halted ex haling me into court or setting their bravos on to me. Crazy I may be, but they have shown no disposition to exhibit the fact in open court where all the world might judge, and they shrink from attempting the assassination of one who has the American people for an audience. The surest, safest and most natural process of restitution is the application of the "system's" own methods to the "system." If we find a Rockefeller possessed of 500 millions, we shall first investigate how he obtained so much money, and if he gained it legally ile must never be molested in its owner ship, for it would be dastardly if the American people took from any one of themselves that which they had them selves given him, for that is what ob taining property legally really amount to In America. But the ownership of so large a sum by one man is proof positive that it was not obtained legal ly, therefore we should discover exactly by what methods of squeezing, filching and plundering it was got together and then take him and his 500 millions back over the route of his raid, compelling htm to-drop the booty at each twist of the road. There would be righteous retribution in despoiling the robber by means of the very machine he devised for your undoing. Today the great corporations supply ing the luxuries and necessities of the American people are owned by a few men. They must be restored to the di rect ownership of the American people. It is in your power to bring about this financial revolution when you realize existing conditions. But you must be educated to the necessities of the case and you must act in concert. I promise no miracle and pretend to no magic. Nothing can be accomplished for the betterment of conditions or for the re versal of financial practices until you yourselves are convinced of the wisdom of what I shall advise and take the steps that must precede its successful accomplishment. Sell All Stocks and Bonds. The first step Is for the America people to divorce themselves from the "system" and sell every share of stock and every bond they hold back to the frenzied financiers at present Inflated prices. Take the money thus realized and place It in banks and trust companies, or, better still, in government, state and municipal bonds. In selecting banks and trust companies steer clear, to the best of your ability, of those institutions that are linked up with the "system." When you all have done this you have cut the foundation irom under tne uinaieu pmc structure the "system" is maintaining and a collapse is inevitable. When the value of securities decline to a given point the "system" must throw over the stocks and bonds it is carrying, for, bear in mind, frenzied financiers never own outright the stocks and bonds that stand in their names. A financier worth $20,000,000 will be found owning $60, 000,000 of stock, borrowing the $40,000, 000 from the funds of the people in the banks. When the "system" sells the public alone will be able to buy. Then the "system" will be no more. There Is my simple pian to load up the "sys tem" with the stocks and bonds dis tributed among the people In addition to the stocks and bonds it owns itself. Then deprive it of the money of he people. Result the artificial price structure collapses. the stocks and bonds of railways and manufactures and gas companies all drop to the real cost or values of the properties they represent. Then the people, the money owners, curchase the stocks and bonds. and having only to pay Interest on their real values, can reduce rates of fares and freight and prices generally and the revolution will then be complete. His Remedy. About the course of procedure I am advising, there is nothing complex, confusing or dangerous. When I put forth this plan of ending the regime of the "System," a great cry of murder and anarchy went up from Wall street One miyht think from the outcry that I had suggested burning New York. Let me assure you that all the injury will be to the thousand millionaires all the profit to you seventy-nine odd millions of people. At present the American people can get high prices for their stocks and bonds, two to two and a half times as much as they are worth, 50 or 100 per cent more than they could have got 15 months ago they can get real money for them, and for this they can get as much interest on government, state, city or town bonds, or upon real estate mortgages as can be honestly promised in any legitimate business. If eventually it should turn out that there is nothing in my movement, all that it Is neces sary "for the people to do Is to repur chase from the "System" the stocks and bonds they have sold. Make no mistake. My crusade against Frenzied Finance and its vo taries and their plundering, robbing game will be carried to a finish. I shall keep dinning into the ears of the American people the brutal facts of their injuries until I rouse them to action. I shall keep urging them to sell them. I am on the trail and If necessary, I shall tramp bare-footed summer and winter through every town in the United States until I ac complish my purpose and complete this reform. If I live, the American people will sell their stocks and bonds. When the proper time comes to an nounce my remedy, I shall set it forth, shall operate it and prove its efficiency though its practicality will be ap parent at a glance. In operation it will benefit all alike, the farmer, the laborer, the producer and consumer first, and the honest possessor or cap ital second. The conditions of Jts ap plication are such that no man can misuse it or turn it into an instrument for his personal benefit. This cannot be done at the beginning or at the end or at any time. I, its inventor, shall be as powerless to interfere, change or transmute as any one else. His Fortune Goes With the Rest. You ask me here what will become of your own fortune? I answer it will have to go witn tne rest, tor my fortune like all those others made from the people through the medium cf the stocks of corporations and trusts, should go back where it came from. I have worked like a dog and never knowingly wronged a man, wo man or child out of a dollar. Yet I have done nothing which would hon estly entitle me. measured by the standard which, my remedy will put in. force, to absolutely own over a million dollars for my lifetime's work. I have made five million dollars in a single month's work, and as high as two mil lions in a single day, and as the busi ness of the country is now done, I can repeat the operation and honestly say to my fellowman and to my God, I have not infringed any of the laws of the game in the making of it. In saying this, and I assert It with, the utmost conviction, you have tha source of the whole evil before you. It is an evil not of men, but of meth ods. As I said in the foreword of my story: "I take no issue with men; it is with a principle I am concerned. The men are merely individuals; It is the method that is at fault." Kansas and the System. Men and women of Kansas, the other day you, in keeping with your traditions and your past, seeing thi situation of the American people and recognizing that some one must step from the ranks of the firing line and cry to the "system," "Halt! You can go no further!" threw themselves into the breach. Knowing that some ona must risk fortune and perhaps Ufa in pointing the way to the whole American people, you, led by your grand and fearless governor, hurled yourselves against the poison pointed bayonets and the stinkpots of the Standard oil and the "system," and today the eyes of the entire world are. upon you. r It is not only yoru own interests which are at stake, your great oil In dustry, your beef, your corn, wheat, all of which are absolutely at the mercy of this gigantic power through Its con trol of the railroads and banking sys tem of the country not only your in terests which are at stake in this bat tle, but the Interests of the whole Amer ican people. They are falling into line, state after state and city after city, and as fearlessly and as bravely as you, they are following you to the battle, but you cannot alter or change the hard, cold fact an iota ,that upon you depends the battle. Every eye in America Is focused on the banner of Kansas, for every man, woman and child knows it has gone forth to battle with this monster which up to now has never met defeat, and if. your banner goes down and is trailed in the dust never mind whether It be by treachery, corruption or tbe brutal force of dollars the American people will surely cry as one man, "What use for us to try where' bleeding, fearless Kansas failed?" Gov. Hoch, let an" old warrior of the blood and crime-stained fields of fren zied finance lay his tribute at his feet. It was that grand son of Massachusetts, that able son of Kansas, ne wnom Kansas honored with all the prijea In her gift to the very highest, whom Kan sas three times sent to a seat in the sen ate of our country it was that glorious orator and that able statesman, John J. Ingalls, who sent bowling down the corridors of time that grand inspiration. "Opportunity": Master of human destinies am I. Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote; and, passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late, I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping wake; if feasting rise Before I turn sway. It is the hour of fate And those who follow me, gain every stata Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save Death, but those who doubt or hesi tate Condemned to failure, penury and woe. Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore, I answer not and I return no more. Senator Ingalls prophetic eye must have pierced the misty vistas of the. future must have penetrated spaca and rested on today; must hava focused you. Governor Hoch, for IS ever Opportunity knocked, It knocks to- day. The times are ripe; the peopla are aroused, the country Is aflame tor this great problem. There-is today no Republican, no Democratic party, no east, no west, to north, no south, through. all our broad country from thai frozen peaks of Labrador to the sun scorched shores of the gulf of Mexico, from the vineyards of California t Boston harbor; there Is but on thought, one cry, "The People," "Downs with the dollar sign, and up with Old Glory!" There are but one people, and they are Americans. The election of Theo dore Roosevelt has just proved it, and he the honest, he the brave and grand, has a great, strong right hand upon the rudder of state, while In his left he holds the sword of justice, as he !n a voice which pierces the ears of all the world, rings out, "A square deal for all!" Just then Opportunity knocks, and I implore you, by ali the traditions of the past, in behalf of tha suffering of the present, and for the sake of unborn generations answer the knock, open the door and show the whole world that Kansas, if nec essary, will again earn, and doubly earn, her name of "Bleeding Kansas."

TEN INSTRUMENTAL SOLOISTS OF NATIONAL FAME SUNDAY, JULY 16th THURSDAY Ragtime Night. FRIDAY Wagnerfest. SATURDAY Farewell Night. DRENNING ON WAR PATH Calls Councilman Hollklay a Grafter and Otlier Tilings. Charges of grafting were preferred against Councilman C. K. Holliday last night by City Attorney Drenning at the business men's committee who were considering the electric light situation at a meeting of that body at the National hotel. Holliday's name was mentioned in connection with the term of years which the gas company secured for their franchise and the proposed fran chise for electric light company which Holliday is presenting to the council for consideration. "If I know anything about that law," said Drenning, "that franchise which Holliday got through the council is not worth the paper that it is written on. The ninth vote that was cast for that franchise was cast by C. K. Holliday, a member of the council and president of the Excelsior Coke Gas company. It Just makes me tired to Gee this graft ing on the city, all the time. Every one that has a graft comes to C. K. Holliday to have it put throughthe council. I told C. K, Holliday to his face at a committee meeting here a short time ago all about this, and I mean it. I am going to hang on to C. K. Holliday's neck and camp on his trail as long as he is in office, if I have to drop out of public life entirely as a result. Why a man of that kind ought to be set up at one- end of the alley and kicked down to the other end. It just makes me tired. They talk about a 75,000 club, pshaw." Drenning was mad. There was a gentle patter of hands in approval to the city attorney's outburst and one man cried out as Drenning talked of kicking "such a man" down the alley, "consent." Mr. Holliday is not in Topeka. HOLLID AX WANTS IT BACK. Will Ask City to Deed Back Little Tract People Say No, And now C. K. Holliday wants his park back. Five years ago Mrs. C. K. Holliday deeded to the city the triangu lar strip of land lying between Western avenue and Tayler street and Twelfth and Huntoon streets for a public park; at the same time she deeded two frac tional lots at the corner of Huntoon and Taylor streets for the same purpose and the two tracts of ground have been cul tivated and looked after in conjunction by the board of park commissioners for the past five years. Through some over sight, it is stated, the two lots were placed on the tax rolls by the county authorities and were purchased at a tax sale by Addison Eby and Eli Foster last fall. The matter of this sale has been pend ing before the city council and was re ferred to the city attorney who claimed that the men had no right in the case and that the fault lay with the county authorities. Eby has been wanting the money he paid out for back taxes re turned to him by the city. This is as. far the the matter progressed, the claim of Eby having been ignoied by the city. C. K. Holliday wants the two lots back now because he says Mrs. Holliday would like to build a house on the place. Mayor W. H. Davis was taken out to the lots by Holliday Thursday and the mayor said today: "I think it would be better for the city to relinquish its hold on the lots and return them to Mr. Holliday. It would cost about $200 for bank taxes, we have been looking that matter up and we find that the claim is good. The taxes are for the past 5 years and about one-half. It's not much good for Dark curnoses." The people in that neighborhood are against deeding it back. But one pro mertv owner in the district adjacent to the park favors the idea of returning the property. A meeting of the board of park commissioners has been called this evening to consider the question. A. B. Quinton and M. A. Low on the board refuse to make the exchange. Mr. Low said: "We won't deed It back." Whether the board of park commis sioners or C. K. Holliday is the greater power will be decided at the council meeting Monday when it will come up for action. "I'll get out an injunction against the city council if they expect to do any thing like that," said Togo Drenning, city attorney, who is camping upon Hol liday's trail. Stole Horse Because He loved It. Winfield, Kan., July 8. When Robert Brooking was arrested at At lanta this week on a charge of steal ing a horse, preferred by D. B. Kline of Haskell, Colo., he broke down and cried, saying to the sheriff at whom he had shot from a patch of weeds that he loved the horse. He was working for Kline at the time of the theft. When he was taken back for prosecu tion, and while Kline was identifying his horse at a stable, young Brooking broke down again and running up to the horse threw his arms about its neck and cried. Paola to Have a Library. Paola, Kan., July 8. At a meeting of the directors of the Paola city li brary the plans of George P. Wash burn of Ottawa for the new library building to be erected here were ac cepted. Mrs. Martha Smith left the city of Paola $10,000 for the purpose and this amount has been turned over to the library board by Dr. J. D. Wal thall, the executor of her will. BANDsy IMNES iNJTOPEKA. Famous Band to Open Here in a Week. No Charge for the Public at Tinewood Park. WHAT THEY WILL PLAT Programmes for the Entire En gagement Announced. Will Be a Bag Time and Wagner ian Night. Only a week now intervenes before the coming of Innes and his band to Topeka. A week of concerts, 14 in all, will be given at Vinewood park. The band will play every afternoon at 3 and every night at 8 o'clock for seven days beginning Sunday, July 16. Viewed from any standpoint, the length of the pi Mrs. Emma Partridge) Soprano engagement and the size and character of the attraction makes it the most pre tentious amusement event the city has had. An important announcement Is made by the Vinewood park management in connection with the engagement. It is that there will be no charge at the park entrance during the Innes festival. A small charge will be made for reserved seats in the sound shell enclosure only. This should make far the greatest out pouring of people who like bane -music ever seen here. Innes is a prodigious worker. Though he has just finished a solid month at the Portland exposition, playing twice daily and presenting new programmes at each concert, and is now touring the Pacific northwest, he has taken time to construct new programmes for Topeka. The originals were received today by the park management and they were in the bandmaster's own handwriting, showing how careful and thorough he is. The truth is Innes knows he has a large and enthusiastic following in this city and he would not disappoint his admirers. He expects great things in the way of popular success in his series of concerts here. From the character of the new and fresh musical menus he has submitted there can be no doubt, with his splendid band behind him, that the town will capitulate. A "Wagnerfest," a ragtime night, a German night, a French-Russian mati nee, a children's festival matinee, a symphony matinee, a "Parsifal" night and other feature programmes will add interest to every concert in the series. The conductor has definite ideas in his programme making, first in making each concert distinctive and second in making all so that they stand as a com plete whole., Every list, therefore, has its distinct character and the auditor who hears them all will receive a musi cal education of no mean dimensions. While there are many numbers quite familiar to the general public, and many others will be played as encores, it is surprising the mine of new and seldom heard compositions that the great lead er has opened up in these lists. In addition to the numbers given on the programmes below, it is known that Innes has a couple of features up his sleeve with which he is preparing to surprise the public. But he has not yet announced them. In writing of the lists for the series of concerts the bandmas ter says to the management: "They are fine programmes and will doubtless interest every music lover within 50 miles of Tooeka. You will see, if you carefully examine these programmes, how it is almost impossible to change them in any way." The lists for the entire week are as follows: SUNDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 16, At 3 o'clock. 1. Overture, "Jubel" ......Weber 7. (at "Aubade Printainere" Lacombe (h) "Prince Charming" (march)..

St. Petersburg, July 7. Emperor Nicholas is going to Moscow. In this connection the Listok prints a rumor that his majesty has decided to trans fer the capital back to Moscow. Such a transfer has been seriously agitated time after time on the ground that the true heart of Russia beats under the shadow of holy Kremlin and not at the showy capital on the banks of the Neva. The last general agitation for the transfer was after the assassin ation of Alexander II.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURKAE,SATUR,1 )AY EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. 0 I LEAPS JUFAME, Sudden Bounds From Obscurity Into the Stage Limelight. Chorus Girls Who Answered Knock of Opportunity. WELLESLEY TO STAGE. Helen Hale Went From College to Comic Opera. Lotta Faust and Anna Langhlin Wrere Discovered. The prevalence of the "starring" system and the constant demand for new lights to supply the stellar short age as It arises is responsible for many Quick leaps to fame on the part of ob scure stage people. The sharp lookout kept by managers, together -with some happy accident, has lately been the means of the youngest people in the profession achieving fame in a night. One of the least expected triumphs was made in this way by Julia Sander son, who was singing in the chorus in the Chicago revival of "Wang" a year Or two ago. Marie Jansen, who was Playing Mataya, was suddenly taken 111, and. in the absence of an under .study, there was a great running over of material -to find somebody to take her part. Nobody had thought of Miss Sanderson as a possibility, when She suddenly stepped forward and an nounced that she knew the part. She was rehearsed and put on at an hour's notice, and made such a hit that she was immediately engaged for the name part in "Fantana." Delight Barsch, who is Sally Lunn In "Love's Lottery," would have been singing in the chorus yet if it had not been for her own pluck and determi nation to get along. She is only 17 years old, and until the last year had lived all her life in a little town. She finally persuaded her father to take her to Chicago, where he got her into the chorus of "Babes in Toyland." When Schumann-Heink was in Chi cago last year the young woman formed a bold and secret determina tion. She marched over to the Audi torium, secured an audience with the opera singer, and persuaded her to test her voice, without so much as taking anybody into her confidence. The prima donna was delighted with her, promised her a part in "Love's Lottery," and kept her in mind all the time that she was arranging the opera, with special reference to the ingenue part. Within six months from her first trial- for the chorus she had se cured an engagement for a prominent part. Another young actress who found fame and an equally astonishing change in her manner of life is May l'audain, who, as Marquise Franziska, the mistress of the robes to Queen Elsa, sings the prima donna part in "Nordland." She first took a place as stenographer with George Hamlin. Discovery was easy in this instance, and he secured her a place in the chorus this time, too, it was in "Babes of Toyland." She went from here into the chorus of "Nordland," In the New York production, and the first night she sang she attracted the attention of Victor Herbert. All win ter he has given her solo parts at his concerts at the Majestic theater, and a. few weeks ago she was given the leading musical role. Lotta Faust had no thought of going on the stage when she was discovered 1iS. Denman Thompson. She was young and busy playing in the streets of Brooklyn, and singing to a hurdy gurdy. 'At the time Thompson saw her she was plajing, leapfrog with the boys, and a few hitching posts, and one or two fire hydrants. He wanted a tomboy for a new piece that he was staging at the time, called "Paradise Alley." and which he was putting on at the Fourteentli Street theater. Of the way he happened to find" her Miss Faust tells this story: "Mamma and I lived a little way from George Ryer, who, you know, wrote the 'Old Homestead" for Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson had come up to visit the Eyers on the particular night, when I was tearing around the streets. He ask ed Mr. Ryer who I was, and he told him that I lived across the street with my mother." 'Well.I think, she is just what I want for 'Sunshine,' said Mr. Thompson. 'She's just the right sort of tomboy.' 'But she isn't a tomboy, only when She's out on the street with the chil dren.' said Mrs. Ryer. 'In theh ouse she is the most quiet and modest little thing." "Mrs. Ryer called me over, and I went to the Ryer porch, twisting my apron and hanging my head. 'How de like to go on the stage, lit tle one?" he asked me. 'I'm just crazy to," I said. 'Kin you dance?' 'I nodded my head, and then he got me to show him my steps, and the next thing I was given the part of Sun chine." Anna Laughlin was chorus girl and dancer in "The New Yorkers," and was Pinging in Chicago, at the Illinois, when Townsend Walsh saw her, and immedi ately telegraphed that he had found somebody to play Dorothy in the "Wiz ard of Oz." Mr. Mitchell came out to eee the little chorus girl, and she was cast for the part. Mabel Barrison was taken as sudden ly out of A nna Held's chorus and given the part of Jane in "Babes in Toyland." Margaret Crawford, who has the part INTERESTING LOCAL NEWS EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK AS DEPICTED BY THE 8XTNDAT. This part of the country is visited by four inch rain. 1 1 of Jane Jones in "Love's Lottery," sud denly finds herself on the stage as un derstudy to Schumann-Heink because she had attracted attention while sing ing at the musical school In Chicago, where she had come to get her musical education. She is a college graduate, and had not anticipated a-stage career. Helen Hale, who made her fame as Lilly Ann Lynch in "Peggy from Paris," had no idea of going on the stage when she also was In Wellesley college. Two years ago she was an undergraduate, and had fond parents at home in Elyria, O., who were looking for her to graduate with high honors and return and take her place In society. One eventful day Joseph Jefferson was invited to address the faculty and students. As was cus tomary with him, he took the stage as his topic, and exalted the profession and actors. Miss Hale listened, and saw the stage career in a different light from what she had before. All the professors and undergraduates applauded Mr. Jef ferson, and apparently believed what he said. Later they made much of him socially. This settled it with Helen Hale. If the stage was like this, she decided that it was the place for her, and she went to see about it without toss of time. She went to Boston to Mr. Savage. "What can yon do?" was the ques tion. Miss Hale was nervous and fresh from the protection of Wellesley, and in her great anxiety to succeed she for got that she had a voice. She could only think of her dancing experiences in the gymnasium. "I can dance," she blurted out. As it happened, what Mr. Savage particularly wanted was some one who coulu dance. He assigned her to the chorus In the "Prince of Pilsen," and there it was discovered that she could sing. She showed such brightness, intelligence, and interest in her work that she was given a part to understudy, and one afternoon at the matinee was told to go on and show what she could do. She came out with such distinction that she was at once sent on to Chicago to join the "Peggy from Paris" company.where she scored a hit. THE STORY TELLERS. Jokes and Anecdotes of the Players Told Oft the Stage. There is an actor in the west who has been playing for some years in an Irish drama called "The Inshavogue." And he relates this experience to prove the demand for an active mind which the actor must satisfy: The patriot is confined in jail and about to be executed. The guard sta tioned outside is an old friend, and the Inshavogue, determined that he will not b'i executed, arranges it to be shot. He tells his old friend that when he puts a light in the window he is to shoot at it, and, of course, he Intends to be there and receive the bullet. However, he eoes to the window first in the dark. ltnd to his great joy discovers that a friend has placed a rile there ana tnai he may possibly make his escape. Just as he is about to gain his liberty the villain comes In and discovers what is going on. The discouraged prisoner is thrown to the floor, and the villain, in his joy, grabs the light and goes to the window, where, of course, he meets his just deserts, because the faithful friend outside shoots at the light, as bidden. rt is intensely melodramatic, dui something happened, as it always does. The company had picked up a big, awk ward amateur actor a short time before. One night the big scene was worked up finely and the villain aasnea 10 me window, but there was no gunshot. The old shotgun that was doing service to make the explosion had refused to go off. "Shoot me. you hissed the villain to the man in the wings. "I can;t," came the reply, and, click, click, went the old gun. "Do something,"groaned the hero from the jail floor. "For sake, kill your self some way." A brilliant thought came Into the al leged brain of the villainous actor, and he staggered down front, shrieking: "Heavens, I have swallowed the file. I am dying." "There Is an old fellow in my town who is always talking of his prowess with the gun," said Raymond Hitch cock the other day'. "He has never accomplished any great feat, but con tinues to make the most eiaDorate preparations for his Nimrod trips, and always returns with an empty bag. Ha has become quite a joke to everybody and the farmers have repeatedly threatened to get out an injunction against him for possible damage to their stock. His wife was joking him about his ill luck, and upon his last trip to the woods he determined to bring back some kind of game. As before, success refused to be with him. and he came to town after an all day tramp, thoroughly disgusted and tired out. Passing a game store, a happy idea seized him, and going in he bought a brace of partridges. Proudly he walked into the kitchen where nis wife was preparing dinner, and toss ing the birds on the table, said: "Well, I'm not so bad with a gun after all. Just see what a fine pair I've brought in." 'Did you shoot those birds today?' 'I certainly did,' the embryo hunter-replied, with a bluster. "Well," replied his wife, turning from the table with a grimace, 'you were quite right in shooting those birds today; tomorrow would have- been too late.' Harry Bulger, the comical bluejay of the Woodland company, is now in New York. He met an actor friend just in from the "one nighters" re cently and the following dialogue took place: "Great season, Harry," said the barnstormer. "Made quite a hit in the part of the Mexican greaser. 'Twas a regular screamout In 'Painted Dog.' "Can you play a Mexican?" ques tioned Bulger doubtingly. "Sure," said the other. "Well, then, suppose you roll me a cigarette," retorted Bulger. K03TDAT. Topeka has first bank failure in many years First National goes up. 'a mm MUSICAL NOTES. An unknown opera by the composer of "Carmen" has been discovered In Paris. It is an Italian opera, entitled "Don Procopio," which Bizet com posed at Rome in 1859, when he was 21 years old, and recipient of the Grand Prix. He sent the score to the director of the conservatory, Auber, who little suspected that this was the first work of one destined to eclipse even his fame. It was placed on the shelves, among thousands of other manuscripts. After the death of Au ber, his heirs sold all these, and It was only recently that they were submitted to examination by an expert, who re stored the Bizet score to the conserva tory. The publisher Choudens has had a copy made of it, and it will have Its first performance at Monte Carlo. Caruso seems to have a serious rival in London. Speaking of a recent per formance of "La Sonnambula," the Telegraph says that Signor Bond's "Tutto e sclolto" "reached the point of absolute perfection. There Is no need In this place to make com parisons between the two great Italian tenors who are at the moment divid ing the enthusiasm of operagoers; per sonal preferences must always go for something In such matters, and. If Signor Caruso's voice Is rather the more powerful. Signor Bond's is the sweeter in quality, while both alike are admirable actors, who never forget the value of gesture for a moment." England and America are not the only countries where big music festi vals are In favor. Zurich will have, about the middle of this month, a four-day festival in which 10,000 sing ers from all Swiss cantons will par ticipate. Zurich alone will provide a chorus of 1,200, with an orchestra of 160. London hopes soon to have a sort of opera comique In the west end a theater at which light operas are to be sung. It Is to be a "repertoire thea ter," the chief object of which will be the revival, for a certain number of performances each year, of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The valuable music library of the late Francis L. Jenks, for many years the musical critic of the Boston Tran script, has been bequeathed to the Fitchburg public library by Herbert L. Wallace, one of its trustees. It is said to be one of the finest musical libraries in America, especially complete In its Chopin department. THEATRICAL NOTES. It is said that George Edwardes and Charles Frohman are the only two man agers who are having successes in Lon don. Kathryn Osterman made a hit in Toledo in her new comedy, "The Girl That Looks Like Me." The play, It is predicted, will be a big success. George V. Hobart will have seven pro ductions on tour the coming season. He is also writing the lyrics for the new piece of the Rogers Brothers. This is not the day of the starveling playwright. Edmond Rostand, the author of "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "L'Aiglon," has been building himself a castle. New York next year still further In creases its list of foreign-speaking the aters by one regularly devoted to plays in the Russian tongue. Pauline Chase has been selected by Charles Frohman for the leading woman of Ellen Terry, reports the London corre spondent of the New York Morning .tele graph. T The return of Pauline Hall to the comic opera stage will be one of the note worthy events of next season. It will be made none the less interesting because Miss Hall Js to appear in an opera from her own neru "The Prince of Pilsen" was presented for the two hundredth time in the Tre- raont theater, Boston, recently, and nearly a tnousana steins were given away as souvenirs. "The Prince" has played Bos ton four times. David Belasco wants London to see Leslie Carter in "Zaza." He admits it will be hard to secure an entrance. He says that while the trust is no such lower in England as In America, "they miKht 'boy cott' any London theater from all the American stars and companies if Its man. ager let a house to me." Mr. William T. Francis, general musical director for Mr. Charles Frohman, ac companied by his wife, arrived home Wed nesday from London on the Mesaba. Mr. Francis, who has been rehearsing Miss Edna May and her company in "The Catch of the Season in London, brought back with him the score of the musical comedy, which will have its American premiere at iaiy s early in septemoer. Elfle Fay, now In Boston with "Kafoo- zelum, is to star next season unuer tne direction of A. H. Woods in a new mu sical rlay called "The Belle of Avenue A." The piece is a dramatization of the song of the same name, with which Miss Fay made a. big hit. Mr. Woods, who has been best known as a manager of high class melodramas, seems to be going in for musical comedy. Besides Miss Fay he will have under his managerial wing Bickel, Watson and Wrothe, who made such a hit in "Me, Him and I." Bent Her Double. "I knew no one for four weeks when I was sick with typhoid and kidney trou ble," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter of Pitts burg, Pa., "and when I got better.although I had one of the best doctors I could get, I was bent double, and had to rest my hands on my knees when I walked.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. Some Parisian Jewelry Ateliers and Timely Faslxion Hints k ARTS, June 24. The Rue de la Palx. which has been called "the millionaires' bazaar," Is par excellence the street of fashion and elegance here in Paris. Even in winter the windows of the world famous dressmaking establish ments disappear behind artistically ar ranged banks of living flowers. But most fascinating of all the display of commerce on this avenue of fashionable barter and change are the jewelry shops. In this respect the Rue de la Palx is a miniature gallery where fantastic combinations in metal and gem work delight the heart of the connoisseur. The prices demanded for modern and original jewelry by the. Rue de la Palx artists are enormous and quite equal In extravagance the three cipher figures named for a "rope of pearls worn by llarie Antoinette." These prices do not frighten American multimillionaires or rich Parisians, who escort their wives and daughters to these tempting em poriums with the greatest nonchalance. The most famous goldsmiths, however, hold themselves aloof from the haunts of fashion and have to be sought for in out of the way places. There are three of these exclusive workers in gems of whom Parisians are especially proud. The most remarkable probably is La lique, the father of art nouveau, as he is styled. His atelier, built after his own design both inside and out, is a gem of a house situated under the trees of the Seine quay. A first glance into Lalique's shop causes surprise at the dearth of' jewelry displayed, for his creations are not to be seen in the bulk, but each masterpiece has a separate setting where it shows to the best ad vantage. The designs are mostly Etrus can and Byzantine in shape and color, and every stone, regardless of its in significance in market value, is grist to his mill. It is difficult to obtain a specimen of Lalique's art, :as he1 works largely for pleasure. When a' customer enters his shop with the intention of purchasing something for a lady the artist is not pleased unless the lady herself is pres ent or has sent her picture. Every Jewel, ha Insists, should have the right personal setting, and he discourages the purchase if he has nothing on hand he considers suitable. He .is an ideal artist, who cares more for his work than he does for customers. In the Pare Monceau, Inhabited only by the aristocracy of birth and wealth, Rene Foy, another jewel worker, has a museum built in the style of a church where, he sells the exquisite creations of his hand and brain. The most splendor loving of the trio of gem artists is Fouquet, who works especially in diamonds and pearls, but is no less original in design than La lique and Foy. These men could only have reached th'feeight they occupy in a city boasting.-a Rue de la Paix in short, at a capital where money for every luxury is close at hand. In this talk of jewels the shops on the Avenue de l'Opera should not be for gotten, containing treasures, as they do, more democratic in character, but no V if egetarian Dishes For VEGETARIANISM has been forj some time past an almost universal fad. How long the fancy will last who can say, especially as doctors disagree as to the respective merits of a meat or a vege table diet. However, these learned gentlemen of the medical schools are of one mind that in summer most peo ple eat too much meat. The healthful hot weather menu, they insist, should contain more salads, light soups, green vegetables and nuts. While there are many housekeepers who are continually on the lookout for a novelty to introduce in the daily dietary there are others who think they have not the time to waste, as they ex press it, in trying culinary" experi ments, but continue serving the com monplace round of meats and vege tables, with nothing to vary it except that one day the roast is served hot and the next cold. This kind of bill of fare is not tempting to a jaded appe tite. With a little forethought and. perhaps a very little extra work the provider who studies the fancies of her family can easily manage to give variety to the board. Salads are certainly a pleasing addition to the menu, but don't let the salad always consist of lettuce. Some people seem to have an idea that salads must be made of that vegetable. To be sure this esculent leaf adapts itself particularly well to salad use, but there are other vegetables Just as good from which they may be con cocted. For the hot days to come why not make fruit salads? They are most palatable and are simply made from any fruit in season covered with a lit tle sirup. The sirup is made by boil ing half a pound of powdered sugar with half a pint of water and some lemon juice, which after simmering six or seven minutes and being allowed to cool is ready to pour over the fruit. With a little discretion used as to the mixing of the fruits delicious salads Will result. When the sirup is not used, the best dressing for a fruit salad has for its foundation a cup of sour cream. The cream must be of the very rich variety and only slightly acid. The other in gredients will be the juice of a lemon and half a cup of melted butter. Stir the sour cream with a silver fork and irop in gradually the melted butter un til the mixture is a creamy mass. Add the lemon juice drop by drop and beat less attractive and happily within the reach of the majority of us. Strolling through one of these shops the other morning, an obliging attendant showed me the very latest "things in gems." The new marquise ring, quite two inches in length and a discomfort and burden for even a fashionable finger to wear, was a discouraging novelty. The smartest rings, by the way, are appar ently without setting and consist of one large stone almost spherical in shape. A pearl, sapphire, ruby, emerald or opal is selected, but hot a diamond unless it has some distinction of color ing. The clerk told me that pearls in a single string had usurped the. place of the collar vand. rivieres," :one .row. of pearls perfectly matched' being." more coveted by the smart Parisian than sev eral ill sorted rows. A charming neck let of red gold somewhat on the order of a dog collar had drops of small gold balls put close together. Pendants of every discription are still in favor, The Summer Menu s5 immLi :4' f E6Gs r 7?& m -g- r xtffMK Stuffed with 7 Nut Cutlets J fhli C W ffiNirrs M? rapidly to prevent curdling. Keep on dropping until all the lemon juice is added. Both crab and lobster salads are very good, and the former is made by tak ing the meat of boiled crabs, chopped fine, and mixing it with mayonnaise sauce. Put the meat in a bed of lettuce and garnish with sliced lemon. In the vegetable salad class nothing is more delicious than asparagus transformed into an entree. Make a thick mayon naise and mix with it half the quantity of cream. Color it a delicate green and place it on ice a short time before serving. Cook some large stalks of as paragus until they are quite tender, but unbroken. Cut off the hard white portion and drain the heads on soft cloth; then dress them with mayon naise and place the asparagus in the middle of a border of golden aspic jelly. Epicures are "daffy" about a new cold asparagus salad which is an ex pensive luxury as the stalks have to favorites among the cut stones for these pretty dangles being amethysts, Bra zilian rubies, topazes, chrysolites, tour malines and beryls. The fashion writer is nowhere if not previous, and in the Rue de la Palx couturier establishments I picked up some coming sartorial hints that are being carefully saved for fall styles. The prediction of a faraway vogue is a gamble, to be sure,- and another ob jection might be made-that no one cares to read about them. Some reader will say petulantly,. "Who cares- what will be worn next- October?' Oh, yes, you do, madame or mademoiselle but you are afraid to say so aloud. It would suggest that you wanted your gowns to "wear." And, whatever happens, you must never admit that they will "last" 1 I MACARONI PATTIES be cut at the "psychological" moment, which is when the heads first appear above ground. The small white stalks, which at this stage are tender and have an indescribable flavor, are used. To be quite up to epicurian taste the as paragus is dug after sunset. This pro viso sounds "spookey," like the rabbit's foot found at midnight in a church yard, etc., but when the salad, fresh and cool from under the earth and covered with French dressing, is served nothing is left to be desired. This queen of summer vegetables has half a year. Just pretend you don't care, but keep one ear open for the in formation that tunic effects in skirts are to appear with the first melancholy days. In fact, some ultra smart women are wearing them now. The bell shaped tunics, short at the sides and arranged over a plain or flounced skirt, are the most attractive. Other tunic models A QUARTETTE OF PABISIAN JULY COSTUMES. have a square apron effect slashed up at the sides, and: for stout figures this style is best,- giving long lines. If you think of having a woolen street gown often to bewail degradation when in consequence of careless cooking she is thrust into the common vegetable class. To prepare boiled asparagus for the cooking frame, first lay the stalks in cold water, then with a vegetable knife cut oft an inch of the stalk and scrape the remaining part clear of the outside stringy substance. Failing a "frame," cut the stalks even at the bottom and tie them in a bundle large enough to keep steady, then stand them in a saucepan and cover with boiling water to within two inches of the top. In this way the heads are steamed, and if kept over the fire for from thirty to forty minutes the chief part of the white stalks will be as tender and eatable as the green. The- most attractive way to serve hot asparagus is on a trebly fold ed napkin, as the linen absorbs the moisture. Serve the sauce in a sepa rate dish, and it may either be one of melted butter, Beurre fondu hollandaise or sauce mousseline. For this last' JEMoT whisk equal quantities of cream and hollandaise' sauce together until frothy and then add a little lemon juice and a dash of red pepper. Some gourmets de clare that if sent to table hot asparagus should be accompanied by an ice cold sauce and vice versa. For cold as paragus plain cream, iced and seasoned with red pepper, white mayonnaise or tomato cream may be recommended, but remember that the sauce must be very delicate or it win overpower and ruin the flavor of the vegetable. Cold made- now, be sure that the skirt is cut in a modified bell or umbrella shape. These two will be the accepted fall and winter modes in jupes. Insist, though, upon the couturier being very careful with the bias seam in the back, so that there will be no suggestion of a sag at this point. The present trotteur skirts are absurdly short, and at long range an up to date- grandmother looks like her granddaughter skipping jauntily through the streets. The day, though, of Jong trailing skirts for street wear has been heralded, and by the time the winter season is upon us they will have arrived.) There is a novel way of get ting the short skirt to hang at the proper distance from the ground, and that is to fit it on the wearer minus her shoes. Madame lets down here and takes tip there while her client twirls round in dainty hosiery. When the last touches are given, the high heeled shoes are put on, and the skirt is found to be a modish length. We will not like these trailing skirts after the independence of the walking lengths, but there is a mysterious force which moves a fash ion. Once started, no matter where or by whom, nobody can arrest its wild career till it has run itself to a stand still. I would as soon stand in the road and wave nay hands at a runaway au tomobile. Enough for the modes which may be and back to the styles that are! Did you ever see so much blue in all shades as; we are wearing this season? The Shops seem full of no other color. Every fabric is prodnced in it, while every hat asparagus may be reheated in several ways for instance, cut the tender parts into inch lengths, dip two or three together in frying batter and cook in boiling fat till delicately colored. Drain and dust with pepper and serve as asparagus fritters. Again the green part of the cooked asparagus may be cut into pieces the size of peas and tossed in a pan over a slow fire with a good pat of butter, a pinch of pepper and salt and a squeeze of lemon juice and served as asparagus en petit pois, or, better still, this ragout may be in serted in the folds of a cheese omelet. Several food products that vege tarians include in their menu are scarcely considered in ordinary house holds. One of these is nuts, which, aside from their nourishing properties, add much to the savoriness of a dish. For a cool summer entree try nut cutlets. Grate three ounces of bread crumbs and chop fine two ounces of walnuts, almonds or Brazil nuts. Put half a pint of milk over the fire with two' ounces 'of butter and let it boll. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until they do not stick to the pan. When cool add the nuts, season to taste with salt and pepper, shape into cutlets, roll in egg and fine breadcrumbs and fry in. Bean croquettes until a golden brown. Serve with to mato sauce. For tomatoes stuffed with nuts cut a round piece from the tops of medium sized tomatoes, allowing one for each individual, and scoop out a part of the lnsides. Mix four ounces of stale breadcrumbs, two ounces of chopped nuts, a tables poonful of melted but ter, seasoning of salt and pepper and a little chopped onion. Fill the to matoes with this mixture. Sprinkle with crumbs, dot with bits of butter either shows waving plumes of blue or ribbon and velvet bows of this alluring shade. A rival in color is yellow, be loved of the Parisian in all its grada tions. Indeed, at the moment the acme of chicness is reached if one possesses a coat of straw colored lace to be worn with a lingerie skirt. These lace coats in all lengths are smart, and the new est models are 'evolved from "baby" Irish lace, a variety thinner and more open than the parent Irish point. By the way, in short jackets of the fussy kind those cut ,with straight lines are better than the plaited affairs. But an exception to this rule is found in a charming separate taffeta silk coatee, made on bolero lines, with a tiny em broidered vest and collar of harmon izing velvet. The back of the bolero Is fitted into a high silk waistband, which is loose from the sides. The double basqued effect at the waist will be very becoming to the slight figure des tined to wear it. An evening wrap of some kind is absolutely nenessary, and, strange enough, over many of the Louis creations of the day are worn empire short walsted coats. These coats are made of taffeta or cloth, and if lined reveal some pretty flowery Louis effects. I saw a lovely evening empire coat the other day, developed entirely in white chine silk with posies of dainty flowers on a striped back ground. The flowers were mostly pink and blue, and the stripes green and white. Decidedly belonging to the order of wraps is an evening garment of heavy white silk, cut with shawl points. The full flowing sleeves, deep collar and skirt are all trimmed with many rows of malines lace. The wise woman who has served her apprenticeship, to her regret, with airy muslin gowns worn at the seashore, that seemed so dainty and attractive before coming in contact with rude Neptune, has learned her lesson and this summer will take to the "shore mostly frocks made of silk, several rajali pongees for morning wear, lovely radium and chiffon taffetas for afternoon and evening donning, and the inevitable serge for all round service. Such a pretty white serge was worn in the Bois last week by a handsome girl. The skirt was one of the new two piece circular affairs with a bias seam down the back and front. The little jacket was beautifully tailored, and a smart wrinkle was observed in two round tabs placed down the center of the jacket in the back. In each was a long but ton hole, which fastened over two large carved pearl buttons attached to the top of the high belt of pliable white suede. Another good idea for ringing the changes on a white costume is to mount it over a Dresden silk slip. If one has an old flowered silk gown it can easily be made into a princess slip, the bot tom of which is turned up with a deep hem and the top finished with, beading and a ruffle of lace, through which is run a ribbon matching the prominent color in the flowered design. When a slip of flowered pattern is worn the girdle on an all white frock should also be of white. It keeps the outside lines more in harmony than a colored one. When in doubt what to write about ask, "Is the blouse doomed?" Then deny it. I can only do so in part, for Dame Fashion has decreed its doom as a garment when worn with a dark skirt unaccompanied by a coat. The coat and skirt were the blouse's father and mother, and While they live the blouse will live too. The only women who will walk abroad this summer with uncovered shirt waists or blouses are those who are careless of the dic tates of good style or are bold enough to defy its mandates. CATHERINE TALBOT. and bake for twenty minutes. This quantity of stuffing will fill about half a dozen tomatoes. Japanese eggs, although not of a nutty nature, are beloved of the vege tarian cult and are worthy of adoption as a summer dainty. Wash a cupful of rice and boil it rapidly till tender. Drain and press Into a pie dish. Steam it in the oven until the eggs are ready. Boll six eggs so they will be hard when the rice is sufficiently cooked. Shell them and cut in two crosswise. Take out the yolks and rub them fine with a little butter, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Roll into little balls and re turn them to the whites. Cut a tiny slice off the end of each half egg to make it stand upright. Mold the rice in a plateau shape, stand the eggs on it and serve with a white sauce. For macaroni and cheese patties boil one ounce of macaroni in quickly boiling- water till tender, drain and cut in to small pieces. Return to the pan and mix with one tablespoonful of cream and season with salt and pepper. Have ready some short paste with which to line as many patty pans as are re quired. Fill them with the macaroni, sprinkle with browned crumbs and cheese and bake until a light brown. For bean croquettes soak one pint of haricot beans overnight. Next day boil them at least one hour or till ten der. Press through a colandar and add as seasoning one tablespoonful of melt ed butter, a little pepper, salt and a teaspoonful of onion juice. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and shape into croquettes in pyramid form. Roll in breadcrumbs and egg and fry in deep fat. The same recipe may be used for peas or lentils. Kor stuffed potatoes choose fairly large sized ones equal in size. Wash and bake in their skins. Cut a round hole in the top of each and with a small spoon scoop out the inside. For each potato allow a tablespoonful of chopped nuts and a teaspoonful of but ter. Season with salt, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, put back in the oven to get very hot and serve immediately. GRACE GRISCOM. A Grr Stale A greasy sink is not to be tolerated, and the cleaning of it if it be of glazed ware may be easily accomplished with the aid of kerosene. Dip a piece of flannel in a little of the oil and then rub it over the sink. All the grease and dirt will quickly come off, and the smell of the kerosene can be easily removed by washing with soap and hot water. This treatment will also have a cleans ing effect on the sink pipes. To Clean Patent Leather Shoes. The best thing is the French harness polish sold by saddlers.. Rub it thinly on the leather and then polish the shoes with a soft, wooly cloth. This treat ment not only produces a good polish, but it prevents the leather from cracking.

The waist fichu and epaulets are of ruffled lace and embroidery, and the harness girdle Is of ribbon. White silk linen is the material which goes into .the making of another attractive frock. The blouse bodice has a small collar and sleeve facings embroidered with green dots and loops of green ribbon. The skirt has incrusted bands of white linen lacs outlined with dots. Wedding Hints. It seems singular that the French, who are so artistic and take such heed of the fitness of things, should not gown their bridesmaids in the same style of dress. It is a fact that at thi smartest weddings in Paris the at tending maid wears any frock she may think pretty and appropriate. The latest present for the bridegroom to give the bridesmaids is a gold chain purse in pig "shape. Bridesmaids have" become a little tired of brooches made of interlaced monograms, and the bracelet seems to have outlived its vogue. It will be a happy day, indeed, for the bridegroom when the fashion of giving presents other than bouquets is abandoned. It is often somewhat pf a tax and, like other taxes, is not always paid cheerfully. SAUCES FOR. SUMMER USE SAUCE FOR FRUITS. Equal parts of fresh butter and brown sugar beaten together until quite light and white. Flavor with a Uttle lemon juice and a tiny grating of nutmeg. Sauce Aliemande. To half a pint of white sauce add the yolks of two eggs. Put in a saucepan, heat and stir in the beaten and strained yolks of the eggs. Let it simmer, but not boil, or the eggs will curdle.

Remove from the fire and stir until free from lumps. Add the limit, put Liit. pan over iuu lire agaiu and stir gently until the mixture boils. Season to taste with salt and. pepper and at the last minute add the parsley, which should be chopped very fine. Sauce Tartare. Yolks of four eggs, a teaspoonful of mustard, a saltspoon ful of salt, two chopped shallots, some olive oil, tarragon vinegar and pepper. Break the yolks in a pan with the mus tard and pepper and stir in a table spoonful of oil, then a teaspoonful of vinegar until the sauce is of the right consistency. Add the chopped shallots.

K&de Think Women of Ability Make the Beit Wive The Importance of Havin Nice Street Clothe The Guimpe Dres Is Here to Stay The Fad For Sleeping Outdoor and It Effect on Nervou Person. Dreiiing Doll Tor a Living M 0 0 M J STILL persist in saying that the women who do things are the hap piest. Not only are they the hap piest, but they are the best wom en. That is why a husband is short sighted when he is jealous of some talent his wife has. It is a great deal better to be jealous of a talent than of another man. This reminds me of a nice little scandal which occurred a couple of years ago. A rich man mar ried, over in Paris, a girl who had a pronounced talent for sculpture. After the wedding he frowned severely upon her modeling apparatus and ordered It removed from the house. He wanted a wife, he said, and not a dauber in clay. To have talent was all very well when she was the poor Miss Blank, but now that she had married a fortune she must take her place in society and not work any more. It did not matter how much talent she had or thought she had, really smart people did nothing but go around and enjoy themselves. Why couldn't she do the same and be like other women? Well, she did as he told her. She washed her hands of clay for once and for all. She choked back all the beau tiful aspirations she had, for they did not belong in her present exalted posi tion, she had been told. She spent a whole weary year trying to stand pink teas and the inane conversation of women who never could do anything and never had an original thought in their lives. Then, just as she was beginning to consider suicide as an alterna tive to such a life, she met a very fascinat ing man she never would have known had she spent less time gadding around trying to kill time, ac 1 cording to the instrnetifms nf Bhe met very faseinat- hp h.lshand If tng man. gjje jja(j keen m terested in her art she would riot have been influenced by his sophistries, be cause her life would have been too full of beautiful thoughts and aspirations for her to adopt anything that savored of discord or falseness, but as it was, I am sorry to say, she ran away with him. And everybody said it was her fault, of course, but I think the crime was to be laid at her husband's door. True, he surrounded her with luxury, but there Womejv Who fT is enough to make the eastern woman jealous to read what the feminine sex is accomplishing in California. Eastern folk have long known of the ranch of Mrs. E. P. Buckingham of Vacaville. It was not a particularly profitable ranch when one day, now more than twenty years ago, there came to the keen intelli gence of Mrs. Buckingham the brilliant idea of making the waste swamp grass on her land pay her a good sum. How she had the cleverness to persuade the leaders in a presidential campaign to adopt pampas grass plumes as their emblems in parades throughout the whole land, Mrs. Buckingham furnish ing tne plumes from her California swamp lands, many know. It was as clever a business stroke as agriculturist ever accomplished. The sale of the i-u.i.j.cio iiuico xc me uiave rancn woman her start. She planted vine yards and orchards, she raised prize live stock, and the Buck ingham place be- came one of the fa mous farms of the Golden State. Mrs. Buckingham's life became pleas ant and fortunate. x as every plucky, in- Mrs. Shepherd. telligent woman's deserves to be. She made trips to Europe and to eastern cities and elsewhere, she entertained friends and distinguished guests at her home and was able to shape her life at will. Then there is that other California -woman, Theodosia Burr Shepherd, now known to every floriculturist in civili sation as a hybridizer of blossoms and originator of new flowers. Scarcely outside of dreams in which flowers of unearthly beauty float before the vision can one behold blooms as beautiful and wonderful as those reared by the name sake of Aaron Burr's lovely, ill fated daughter. At Ventura-by-the-Sea is the home of Mrs. Shepherd. The blos doms about her home at Ventura are so wonderful, so abundant and so fragrant that they are fairly overwhelming to the sense, and the sight of them makes the heart ache because no human words can describe their beauty. The begonia is Mrs. Shepherd's favorite flower, and he has one begonia plant fifteen feet 4igh. It has sometimes 150 clusters of slossoms upon it. This is the splendid "Marjorie Daw" begonia, originated by VIrs. Shepherd herself, there in her airy queen garden at Ventura-by-the- Lb I Tfieociosidw Burr Vt Clyde rt is a luxury which stifles, and all wom en cannot be classified as painted dolls, and they can't all live a painted doll's life. The wise man discriminates, and the wisest man of all thanks heaven that he has a wife with brains and some in terest in life beyond gossip, flirtation and clothes. Have Nice Street Clothes. And speaking of the latter, I have been looking at several very pretty summer outfits recently, and it strikes me that the av erage woman pays too much attention to her evening clothes and too little to what she wears on the street. To. my mind daytime clothes are a great deal more important than evening ones. If your evening gown is a little mussed people will not discover it half so soon as in the case of a The man trfco drinks hot gown worn un coffee in summer. der the brilliant rays of the sun. Crisp white costumes, and several of them, are necessary above everything else. No number of silk or veiling dresses will take their place. At Newport, for Instance and New port certainly sets the style white is simply all pervading. At the tennis meets and other functions where the smart set congregates the woman guilty of wearing a dark gown is the exception. By "dark gown" I mean anything fussed up, .anything of silk or wool. A wire meshed linen trimmed with effective lace and worn with a lace hat trimmed with red roses and a parasol to match was one of the most stunning costumes seen there last year. Now and then a dotted batiste is modi fied with a lilac or a pale yellow slip and has both hat and parasol to corre spond, but everywhere one sees the jaunty little coat and skirt of white linen, worn with white canvas shoes, a white linen hat trimmed with white wings and a white coaching parasol. This year the linen suits are not trimmed so heavily with lace as for merly. They aim at a simple effect of straps or embroidery. One of the smartest costumes I have ever seen was of white linen. The jacket with buttonhole embroidery all over it had little three-quarter sleeves edged with 7)o Thijvgs 1 The wonderful poppy known to the trade as the "Golden West" is another of Mrs. Shepherd's contributions to the flower world. It is a descendant, ob tained by careful cross pollenization, of the dazzling yellow California wild Poppy. Mrs. Shepherd's new "Golden West" poppy has a maltese cross of deep orange at the base of the petals, in the heart of the flower. Several giant double petunias have also been added to the kingdom of blossoms by the woman originator of new flowers. She has really made the plain old pe tunia a thing of beauty. One of Mrs. Shepherd's most illus trious successes has been achieved with the common cosmos. She took it a rather small, fringed' flower about two inches across. She selected fine specimens, crossed the pollen of one upon the pistil of another, tended the plants and watched results patiently, till now she has developed thirty-five permanent varieties from three original ones. She has increased the size of the blossoms till thev measure in scmo cases seven inches across. Mrs. Shep herd has a whole field full of cosmos of different kinds. She has changed not only the colors of this familiar flower, but also the configuration of tne petals, causing those of one to be plain, another ruffled, while others still are laid in strange folds. At first this remarkable floriculturist had no thought of fame or gain from her gardening, but went at it through pure love of flowers and for recreation. She is a native .of Iowa, and her father, Augustus Hall, was a member of con gress. She was married to a young Iowa lawyer. Mr. William Edgar Shep herd. In 1ST3. on account of ill health, she went to California. Her husband went with her, and they established themselves in a cottage at Ventura. The marvelous floral richess of Cali fornia impressed Mrs. Shepherd as it impresses all newcomers. She de termined to have a garden of her own. There was health, there was joy in cul tivating flowers. Mrs. Shepherd spent her mornings at work in the garden. She declares that floriculture, seed rais ing and the developing of new plants constitute an admirable occupation for women who have their living to earn. She thinks it ought to be a "morning occupation" for every woman. She herself appeared to take naturally to the hybridizing of flowers and to origi nating new varieties. Her method in developing a new flow er is to "cut out," in ranchman's par lance, the particular plant that shows a sport blossom, different from others of the same species. This she fosters with the utmost care. Wfcen the flower goes Valenciennes, while the skirt was sim ply plaited and hemmed ankle length. With this were worn a French sailor hat, also of eyelet embroidery, trimmed with a twist of pale blue, and one of pale pink taffeta ribbon. The Guimpe Dress. The guimpe dress is with us to stay. Tou see it in all colored silks, but Is prettiest in lavender. The guimpe Is best made of fine transparent organdie, with elbow sleeves ending in cuffs of lace, the transparent collar being also of the lace. The neweat collar foundations are made without the upper and lower stiff bones. This makes them far more com fortable for summer wear, beside caus ing the neck to appear much smaller around. The collars can be procured for 10 cents each, and really there is not an excuse left for the woman with sagging neckwear. Put a collar on every wash waist you have. They are easily basted In and taken out for laundering. We certainly have the hot weather with us. Some people suffer very much from it, but it is my private opinion that a great many more suffer because they do not know how to take things easy. For the woman who overdresses In warm weather I have no sympathy. It is foolish and unnecessary, and if she wants to go to a fashionable hotel where five changes a day are necessary let her not grumble that's all. The man who drinks hot coffee and eats oatmeal every morning is simply shoveling coal into the furnace, and so is the nervous little woman who per sists in a meat diet. Many a nervous wreck has saved his life by sleeping out of doors, and that is what I want to talk about. It is not so difficult as it sounds. The Outdoor Sleeping Fad. If you live in the country try -putting a tent on the lawn. Once you have slept in it you will never want to go back to a stuffy bedroom. The owner of a house with a balcony can easily fit it with screens and rolling shades of material thin enough to admit the air and thick enough to protect from the public gaze. In- a city house a tent or screen arrangement can be rigged up on the roof, and one night thus spent in the open will be found worth three nights in a sweltering bedroom. A friend of mine who was a nervous Wreck cured herself in this way. She hunted until she found a summer Don't forget the sick icfto are poor. boarding house which had a room with a balcony facing the sea. This she screened with Venetian blinds and "fur nished with a strip of carpet and a cot bedi At first she occupied this balcony night and day. In the morning at 7:30 a cup of cocoa would be brought to her, after which she would go into the bedroom adjoining, fix her hair, and to seed, she gathers the seeds, sows them, watches and tends the resulting plants till they fructify and in like man ner gathers the seeds of this second generation and garners them for plant ing. She regards all change in the floral kingdom as manifestation of a force that is seeking new expression, and she treasures it accordingly, being wiser with her plants than most par ents are with their children. In time the change she has fostered becomes fixed, then a new flower appears on the scene. Hybridizing is an Intensely interest ing part of Mrs. Shepherd's work. She carefully selects the flowers she wishes to cross, then takes upon the tip of a little camel's hair brush some of the pollen of one flower and deposits it up on the pistil of the other flower. Thus transported to a new home, the strange life, whatever it is, in the pollen, seizes upon the pistil of the fertilized plant and nourishes itself and produces a f V. 1 I SMMUtMnHiU 'tm- i 4 9 mm MRS. LLOYD CARPENTER GRISC0M. The wife of the brilliant young American minister to Japan was Miss Elisabeth Duer Bronson of New York. She was married to Mr. Griscom while he was minister to Persia and spent her honeymoon in that far land. In Tokyo the Jap ladies like young Mrs. Griscom very much, as also do the ladies of the foreign diplomatic set. Her tact and accomplishments in the social circle have ably seconded Minister Grjscom's diplomatic wisdom and courtesy in strengthening cordial relations between Japan and the United States. BLACK TAFFETA FROCK. This black taffeta frock is a charming model for a matron, a box plaited panel in front and is gathered at the sides and bottom are handsome ornaments of ecru lace. The bodice is trimmed with these lace motifs, and a small empiecement of all over embroidery is finished with a crossed .waistcoat of white mull. dress for the day in some loose negligee. After this she would return to the bal cony bed, which had been remade, and lie there watching the sea until a sub stantial breakfast was brought at 8:30. The day she spent in reading and em broidering and in writing notes. She recovered her strength and appetite, and. from fitful sleep she managed to rest soundly without aHsingle awaken ing sometimes for ten hours at a stretch. When she returned to town, sleeping in a bedroom was positive tor ture to her until the cold weather recon ciled her to it. People who are afflicted with nerves flower different from either of the originals. Mrs: Shepherd, fascinated with her beautiful task, thought little of the out side world till at length the outside world came to her. People desired seeds and cuttings from her garden, and presently a flourishing trade with professional floriculturists and seeds men developed. She sent out new va rieties of begonias, nasturtiums, pop pies, cosmos and other flowers. Women who cultivate from the seed in their pretty gardens in the east the wonder ful yellow California poppy and other exquisite flowers from the PacifiO'coast will be interested to know that this quiet, indefatigable woman floricuKur ist was the first person to grow flower seed for the eastern states trade. Her seeds have found their way throughout Europe. She is the pioneer flower seed grower of California. Mrs. Shepherd also writes and lectures on her favorite topics. LILLIAN GRAY. 4 -1 -V "4 The skirt has back. At the have the remedy in their own hands. It is plenty of fresh air, thin clothing and a light diet. I sometimes think, though, there is something in Marie Antoinette's re mark that nerves are the malady of the happy. Certainly the woman who works hard has no time to waste on nervousness, and if she is really break ing down, let her try the outdoor sleep ing plan, and in no time she will be her cheerful brisk self again. Dressing Dolls For a Living. At this time of the year many women find employment dressing dolls for HOW THE SUMMER GIRL MAY GO CAMPING. MEN generally discover every good thing first and women follow on after as fast as their lack of knowledge and dread of Mrs. Grundy permit. Men discovered the delights of summer camping in forest and by stream, away from all the uncomfor table restraints in which civilization has prisoned the natural wild man. Men deserted the fashionable summer resort, and the girls were left lamenting. Not long, though. The girl considered the situation and said: "If it's so much fun going camping, I'm going camping too." Summer camps exclusively for the woman sex have become almost com mon in some states. In Vermont and New Hampshire abandoned farmhouses have been converted into camp homes. The farmhouse is merely the head quarters of the campers. It constitutes their dining room and kitchen and their refuge on rainy days. The true camp ers sleep in tents, not under roofs. In pine forest districts, if the camp can be so near the woods that fresh twigs can be gathered for beds, so much the better. First a rubber blanket upon the ground, then a thick layer of the pine twigs, in place of the conventional mattress, with blankets for cool nights, and the town -dweller sleeps in such slumber as nobody but a child can en joy in the city. There are wealthy society women who take what they call the tent rest cure. Slipping off altogether the ar tificial life of the fashionable woman, they take not even a looking glass with them to the wilds in which they dis appear. They do their own cooking, so 'tis said though that sounds too good to be true. They braid their hair down the back like a little girl, wear very short skirts and no corsets. Their food is of the simplest. Part of the cure is that they shall write no letters, scarce ly even talk for two weeks, if one can imagine anything in feminine form be ing silent so long. "The majority of women wear them selves out talking" a doctor once said to a lady under his fare for nerve trouble. For the woman whose tongue has re duced her to a state of nervous pros tration .the solitary tent rest cure in the summer woods is salvation, but all the sex do not need so strict a regimen. The majority of them are just those nice, wholesome, sensible, middle class women and girls who are the flower of their sex and the salt of the earth. To these the gregarious camp affords most pleasure and benefit sleeping in tents, eating in a common dining room and spending the rest of the time outdoors walking, cycling, golfing, boating and bathing. The best way is to have a permanent camp leased from year to year. If there is no house suitable for the headquar ters a big board shanty may be built cheaply. The women who most need the summer outing are the ones who work all the rest of the year, many of them earning money for themselves and others. For the woman teacher, the stenographer, cleric or bookkeeper, the Christmas. I know of one girl who makes quite a tidy little sum clothing dolls in an unusual or quaint manner. She is at present engaged in robing a set of them to represent Dickens' characters. They are' to be raffled at a church bazaar about Thanksgiving time. Another woman, a friend of hers, is a perfect wonder at making rag babies, and you know, in spite of all the French waxen beauties, the rag doll will always be the favorite of the very young child. One of those rag dolls which she made recently for a little millionaire on Fifth avenue was as large as a real baby. It was made of stockinet, the entire body being flesh color, while the face and hands were most artistically painted. The dresses for this rag child were perfect copies of those of the up to date infant, and the paints used were waterproof, so that if Miss Dolly fell into the bath tub it would not hurt her at all. The same woman makes fascinating ani mals, her specialty being a -large brown monkey most lifelike in appearance. She derives a very good income from her work and receives orders for Christ mas trees and fairs months in advance. Before I close I want to give one more hot weather hint: Don t forget the sick who are poor. There is no greater purgatory than to be shut up in an ill smelling room without ice and without wholesome invalids' food, when one's very, life depends on the right kind of nourishment. Tes, I know there are societies to look after these cases, but they don't reach every one, especially in the small towns where charity work is not well organized and depends prin cipally on the kindness of individuals. It is bad enough to be poor if one Is strong, but it is insufferable in hot weather to be poor and ill at the same time. New York. f A WOMAN'S "NO!" Here is an account of the primitive method of courtship in the region of Greenland's icy mountains: When the Danish missionaries had secured the confidence of the Green -landers, marriage was made a religious ceremony. One of the missionaries thus described the style of procedure in choosing and getting a wife. The suitor, coming to the missionary, says, "I should like to have a wife." "Whom?" asks the missionary. The man names the woman. "Hast thou spoken to her?" Sometimes the man will answer, "Yes; she is not unwilling, but thou knowest womankind." More frequently the answer is "No." "Why not?" "It is difficult; girls are prudish. Thou must speak to her." The missionary summons the girl and, after a little conversation, says; "I think it is time to have thee married." "I won't marry." "What a pity! I had a suitor for thee." "Whom?" The missionary names the man who has sought his aid. "He is good for nothing; I won't have him." "But," replies the missionary, "he is a good provider; he throws his harpoon with skill and loves thee." Though listening to his praise with evident pleasure, the girl answers, "No, I won't A MODISH SILK GOWN. Very smart is the gown of mode silk with its full skirt trimmed with a waved design of mode and white braid. The little jacket is shirred several rows above the waist line and has a notched collar of batiste embroidery. The elbew sleeves have a turned back cuff of this embroidery over frills of lace. summer camp will be recreation and a delightful novelty. It would be easy ffer women to put their spare money to gether and get the camp. A cook and a man to do the heavy work of the camp could be hired, so as to leave the campers' time free. A fixed sum per week, and it need not be very great can be fixed on to be paid by each one while she is at the camp. The girls can go in relays from June till October, arranging the time of each according to convenience.. Even two weeks of such camp life would work wonders for the average city woman. It must be understood that there shall be only the simplest Or ess marry; I won't have him." "Well I won't force thee. I shall soon find a wife for such a clever fellow." Ths missionary remains silent, as though he understood her "No" to have ended the matter.' At last, with a sigh, she whispers, "Just as thou wilt have it. missionary." "No," replies the clergy man; "as thou wilt. I'll not persuade thee." Then, with a deep groan, comes Yes," and the matter is settled. MEN IN WOMEN'S PLACES. 1 cannot understand why women are so desperately anxious to enter pro fessions and trades which obviously are suited only to men," says a writer. "while they allow men to supersede them in others that seem by right to belong to women alone. One of these is the art of hairdressing; another is cooking; a third is dress designing. Men are acknowledged to excel in all these occupations, but it is my firm conviction that, if women only chose, they could cut out the men and be en titled to the higher wages. It is absurd to think that a woman should not be able to dress hair better than a man." A LOVELY FROCK OF MOUS SELINE DE SOIE. The frock in the cut is of spotted white mousseline de soie. The skirt is encircled with broad bands of Irish guipure and frothed between these and about the bottom with Valenciennes lace.

According to an agent for the Title Guaranty and Trust company, which Is on State Treasurer Kelly's bond for half a million dollars, the bond guar antees the state against loss only by the violation of some law. It proposes to hold that the $547,000 that was in the First National bank was there in the process of collection and not in violation of law. If this claim is correct concerning the bond, the state must prove that Kelly violated the law before the sur- ety company can be held for a cent of the loss to the state through the bank failure. If Kelly can find a oo Dhole through which he can ea cape conviction for" depositing state money in the banks, the surety com pany bond would not only not be good for the loss occasioned in the First Na tional bank failure, but it does not protect the state on the half million dollars or more that Kelly still has on deposit In other banks. A SATURDAY SERMON. "Riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven." Proverbs 3:5. A more striking example of the fleet ing character of wealth would be hard to Imagine than that afforded the people of the west this week. On last Satur day Charles J. Devlin was supposed to be the richest man in Kansas; today he is a bankrupt. A week ago his wealth was estimated at six million dollars; today he may be worse off than noth ing. Six millions of dollars may have shrunk until it will pay only three mil lions of debts, or even less. Riches are not a good thing to tie to. There are people who have an idea that money can do anything. There is much that it can accomplish, but one is never sure of it. A disastrous fire or flood, a drouth, a panic, sometimes a very small occurrence will wipe out a fortune. Yet none of these things affected Mr. Dev lin's supposed fortune. His riches sim ply melted away. "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches," says Solomon, the Wise Man, and never was a truer ut terance spoken. How many men would willingly trade the respect and conn-: dence of friends and fellowmen for money? How many would give up the consciousness of being honest for the sake of wealth? After all riches will not accomplish much. The rich man is not nearly so happy as a rule as the man of moderate means, nor is he usually as good a citi zen. A man can use just about so much wealth for his personal needs and no more. It's a good thing to acquire a competence, for poverty is exceedingly irksome and unpleasant, but the lives of most millionaires teach that a great amount of wealth does not give happi ness nor contentment. "Give me neither poverty nor riches," says the .Wise Man. AN OPEN LETTER. To C. C. Coleman: Your position at the head of the legal department of the state govern ment makes you attitude in the pres ent crisis in the affairs of the state of Kansas a matter of great public concern. So far as the public can judge, you are and have been for many months, in close league with a man who is known to be a law breaker. Up to the present time you have never done a single act to indicate other wise, and as this law breaker has now brought upon the state, apparently a tremendous loss of funds entrusted to his care, the people of Kansas are de sirous of knswing just what your at titude is towards him. Are you, or are you not, so closely tied up with T. T. Kelly, politically or otherwise, that he exercises absolute dominion over you and your acts? Why is it, when anyone suggests the prosecution of Kelly for his crimes, that you apparently play for time in Kelly's behalf? In the present crisis for instance, why have you hastened to ask County Attorney Hungate not to issue a warrant for Kelly's arrest unless you were first consulted? Have you not in your possession. and have you not had for more than six months, a report and data show ing that there is a shortage in the state treasury of Kansas amounting to many thousands of dollars data which prove absolutely that more than fourteen thousand dollars has been stolen from the school fund of the state of Kansas? Did not Governor Bailey, nearly a year ago, place in your hands con-! elusive evidence that a shortage ex isted in the state treasury, and give you instructions to bring suit to re cover the shortage from those civilly responsible for it, and to take steps to bring to Justice the thief? Have you ever taken a step in that direction, Mr. Coleman? Did you not, on the contrary, trump up every excuse possible to delay mat ters? Did you not take advantage of every subterfuge you could find to avoid doing anything about the state treasury shortages? And, Mr. Coleman, did or did you not, after every conference you had with Governor Bailey, communicate with Kelly as soon as possible, keeping him posted as to what Governor Bailey had discovered, and what he proposed to do? What knowledge, Mr. Coleman, did you have of Kelly's embezzlement of 123,000 with which he purchased the note of your friend, A. A. Godard, something less than a year ago? This embezzlement, you will remember, Mr. Coleman, was to enable Godard to un load upon the state school fund those notorious Comanche county bonds, bonds that the people of Comanche county are no more morally bound to pay than you are a deal in which you had a part, not only by voting to pur chase the bonds at 4 per cent when they had been offered to the state at 6 per cent, but also by giving an unheard of opinion to enable the purchase to be made at all. Did you, Mr. Coleman, know any thing about that embezzlement? Did you not know of it' as long ago as nine months, at any rate, when the sworn testimony was made public proving it to an absolute ceEtainty? Why did you not prosecute Kelly at that time, Mr. Coleman? And why, Mr. Coleman, in this cli max in the state's affairs do you ob ject to the prosecution of Kelly Why do you request the county attorney of Shawnee county not to issue a warrant for Kelly's arrest without your con sent? Mr. Coleman, why are you so anx ious to protect this criminal, Kelly? Has he some sort of a hold on you that you dare not move against him yourself, nor allow any other officer to do so? The people of Kansas are interested ini these things, Mr. Coleman. This man Kelly has been breaking the laws of the state under your very nose for months, and you not only have not lifted your finger against it, but you have apparently protected him in it-Even- aside from your connection with Kelly, Mr. Coleman, you have been the most lamentable failure as an attorney general that the present gen eration of Kansans have seen. Don't you think, Mr. Coleman, you could serve your state best by stepping aside and allowing some one else to be a real attorney general? JOURNAL ENTRIES Some of Burton's proteges may beat him to jail yet. Wichita, Leavenworth and some of the other envious Kansas towns scoff at the idea that Topeka has 40.000 in habitants. If they don't believe it they can just come here and count the people for themselves. There is an Odessa townshin uo in Jewell county, but it raises corn instead of the article they raise in the Russian town of that name.

Anyway, it will be eleven months be fore the small boy will begin to cel ebrate again. Let's look on the bright side. If this notion of convicting United States senators of being common crim inals becomes a fixed habit with the federal courts, how long will it be until there won't be a quorum left to do business?

He thinks C. J. Devlin's first initial may stand for "Chadwick." Delphos claims that the mill rate there was so choked ud with fish the other day that the mill had to be shut down till they could be cleaned out. A Pratt girl spanked a man with a spade and then had him arrested be cause he took the spade away from her. He publishes a card to prove that he acted in self-defense. They are getting gold out of Kansas shale down at Coffeyville, all right, all right. It makes brick that can be sold for the finest kind of gold, worth one hundred cents to the dollar. "The web worm that is destroying the corn," says the Jewell Republican. "is no relation to Webb McNall. Webb is a Republican now and we feel called upon to come to his defense." Leslie Randolph Is back in the news paper business over in Jefferson county, having purchased the Valley Falls New Era. Of course an old newspaper man like Randolph couldn't keep out of the business long. Salina's assessor reports only 7,835 In habitants this year. That assessor might as well look for another job, in asmuch as he failed to find the ten thousand people that everybody in Sa lina is dead sure live there. The Emporia Gazette has found a plunger. Here is its record of the find: "An Emporia man whose check is good with six figures on it, got worked up to a high pitch at the races yesterday and wagered twenty-five cents on a horse race." A Hay City girl discovered a lamp "cutting up" the other evening, and a hasty investigation showed that it had been filled with gasoline. The Hays City News uses this incident to call at tention to the law passed by the last legislature requiring all gasoline cans to be painted red. CLOFsE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. When the preacher goes away on a vacation, some of the loyal church members take theirs by not going to cnurcn. An Atchison woman turned down a trip to New York.- "I have to stav at home, and save my husband," is her excuse. The house is too noisy for comfort with a child in it, and too lonesome for comfort when the child leaves, and there you are. When a woman Is an amateur horse back rider, she appears to as bad an advantage riding on the main street, as an amateur singer in public. Bud Russell lately paid a thousand dollars for ten acres in Missouri. Ask ed where it was, he replied: "It is a squirrel jump from Iatan." There are some unreliable travelers. and some unreliable parents, but every person wno goes to sea is seasick, and every little baby has colic. They didn't have cannon firecrack ers many years ago, or your father might have lost that hand he used to spank you when you cried for some. When a man gets discouraged and commits suicide, he thinks he has dis charged his duty to his family by ask ing other relatives to "be good" to mem. A man died lately (so the story goes), and the doctor said the death was due to heart failure, but his wife said it was due to hating people un necessarily. We were talking to an old man to day who said there had been eighteen children in his family, eleven girls and seven boys. The boys were all named after Cumberland Presbyterian min isters. We are getting there: Fourth of July night we enjoyed watching a child shoot off a dollar display of fire works .instead of going to see the big display at the park. We'll like our grandchildren, all ,right, although we don't think so now. An Atchison man was standing at a window recently, when all of a sudden he began screaming. The family rush ed to his side, and when attempts to pacify him had succeeded, he explain ed that he had screamed at the sight of a funeral going by in a driving rain. Church White says he didn't think he would be fond of grandchildren, but he is. He was lately seen taking a baby buggy home, and in the evening he goes about the neighborhood carry ing his grandchild, to show it to people who doubt that it is the finest baby in the world. O, we old men! Two of John Wolfe's boys lately climbed to the roof of a new house in the neighborhood, and got into trou ble. Their father rescued them. Then he took them home and gave them a whipping. Another son hadn't been on the roof, but the father whipped him, too, as a warning to keep off of roofs. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. A husband is ashamed to be affec tionate in public; a .woman not to be. A girl will always resist flirting if there are no men or boys anywhere around. In a peek-a-boo shirt waist some wo men remind one of a man falling out of a balloon. When a man Is young he wants to marry and love, and money doesn't count; when he is married he wants money and nothing else counts. KANSAS COMMENT LIVING AND DYING FAST. Collapsed mentally or physically, or both. And it is every day. So called big men. statesmen, warriors, profes sional and business men go all to pieces in an hour. And the why and the where fore? They know. We know. Every body knows and yet nobody cares. The world says, let them die; there are plenty left. The man who stuffs like a pig, drinks like a fish and loafs like a hobo will collapse. The man who lives fast dies fast No getting over that proposition. While the one who lives rationally, sanely, lives long and dies slowly and peacefully. Too many people are burning the candle at both ends. But then, why preach, why prate, why refer to it? They are not missed and there would be no place for them should they come back.

In referring to the status of the offlce of election commissioner in Kansas City, Kan., Saturday's Kansas City Times says: "The attorney general has with drawn his opinion that the offlce is va cant."

Superintendent Hendricks' report, coming as it does after years of indif ference in the matter of close inquiry, is almost positive proof that the cor porate affairs of the great life insur ance companies have not been made the subject of close official supervision, and the time has now arrived when a searching inquiry should be applied to all of them. If the superintendent of insurance of the state of New York does not care to undertake this work, then it must be entered upon by the superintendent or commissioner of some other state. So far as those who have defrauded the Equitable com pany are concerned, clearly criminal prosecution to bring about restitution and proper punishment is in their cases urgently called for. Boston Herald. SOME LEGAL ETHICS. Senator Depew has drawn $120,000 from the Equitable during the past six years, in addition to his fees as director and member of the executive committee. About all the service he rendered for the salary was in getting the salaries of Hyde and Alexander raised to ine iiw.uw mark.

He dwelt especially on disappointment the disappointment after months of hard labor and patient waiting, that one suffers on seeing a worthless and com monplace weed spring up where one has expected a new and wonderful sort of flower. "Such disappointment," he said, "is akin to that of the Harvard boys from Lancaster. "Lancaster, in Massachusetts, is my native town, and there were three Har vard boys who came home one Thanks giving heavy with disappointment, their trouble, it seems, being due to a mis take. m "They had boarded, with a few class mates, the stage that ran in those days from Cambridge in to Boston. There were Just enough passengers to fill the stage comfortably. The driver was about to start when a beautiful young lady hastened down the path, followed by a very old and very fat man. 'Wait, driver,' the young lady cried. 'There ain't no use o'waitin' ma'am,' said the driver. "We're full inside and out 'But surely,' said the young lady, plteously, 'surely there is room for one more "The boys inside were regarding her with respectful admiration. What pret ty eyes she had, what a red mouth, what a buoyant carriage! 'No, ma'am," said the driver; 'I'm feared there ain't no room." The boys inside looked at one anoth er. It was true that they filled the coach. Still, for the sake of such a beautiful young lady, and for the sake of her pleasant companionship, and, if they must sit close together, why, the two most lucky ones would sit close to her. And so, almost in a chorus, the Harvard boys called from the interior of the coach, politely: There is room, madanu We can ac commodate you. We have room for one more.' 'O, thank you,' said the young lady. "Then she turned to the fat old man. 'Come, grandfather, get in,' she said. "And she put the fat graybeard in among the disappointed students, nodd ed a good-by, and disappeared." Los Angeles Times. Secrecy In the Express Business. Sixty-six years ago, and but a few years after railways had demonstrat ed their practicability, William Harn den met what seemed to him to be a real economic need by offering to carry valuable packages from New York to Boston, and for a considera tion assume responsibility for loss. Harnden s valise, carried by steam boat from New York to Providence, and thence by rail to Boston, was the beginning of a service which has ad vanced hand in hand with the rail way industry, with which it is neces sarily -closely associated. Recognition of the economic value of the service was immediate. Companies were or ganized which selected particular sec tions of the country as their special fields of activity, until now an express service is found wherever transporta tion facilities exist, whether it be rail way, steamboat, or stagecoach; a ser vice which handles almost every form of traffic that can bear the charges imposed. Of this large transporting agency, I whose receipts reach the enormous sum of seventy-five million dollars yearly, which, for certain kinds of service, has become an apparently an indispensable part of our industrial mechanism, the general public knows almost nothing. The companies neith er make reports themselves, nor are j reports required of them by any gov-! ernmental department. Frank Haigh Dixon, in the July Atlantic. Caught "Napping." Several of them were sitting in the office of General Manager Calvin, of the Southern Pacific, discussing railroad men and railroad affairs, and the name of Sidney Dillon, one time president of the Union Pacific, was brought into the conversation. "Did you ever hear about the time that Sidney Dillon was rebuffed by a telegraph agent?" asked Mr. Calvin. "The story has been told on several railroad officials, but it really happened to Sidney Dillon. There was a washout on the Union. Pacific over in Nebraska. The Loup river climbed out of its chan nel, and did quite a little damage to a piece o. track at the far end of a long trestle. Several trains were stalled at a little station near the scene of the trouble, and the passengers were sub jecting the telegraph operator to all sorts of annoyance by asking questions. During the night President Dillon came along in his special train. Leaving his car he went up to the station and said to the operator: 'Have you a telegram here for me?' "'I'm blessed if I know,' said the. op erator, eyeing Dillon very critically. Would your photograph be on it?' San Francisco Chronicle. A" Soldier's Wit. The following anecdote of General R. E. Lee was told by an old soldier of the Confederate army to a visitor from the west as they drove together along the beautiful wooded country roads of Kentucky one day in early falL Everyone remembers the pitiful scarcity of food the southern fighters experienced, and as the two passed a persimmon tree the old soldier said: "One day as General Lee was riding along on his horse not a great way from camp, he came upon a company of his men standing under a persim mon tree, gathering up the fruit as it was shaken from the branches by one of their number up in the tree. Rein ing in his horse as the men saluted, the general called out: 'My men, don't you see those per simmons are green?' 'Yes. general,' one replied, respect fully.

THE EVENING STOR Y A Leap Year Privilege. Cynthia Ann Jones sat trotting her foot and sewing rag carpets at the age of 37 without having been spoken for. "Cynthia Ann Jones, it's got to come about!" she finally said to herself aloud. "This is leap year, and there's-a privil ege goes with it" Having got that far, her thoughts naturally turned to possible candidates. There was Deacon Hungerford, but he was past 50 and had three children, and he had once asked her to look the other way while he drove a hog past her gate. There was Joel Marsh, owner of the sawmill, but he had a stiff neck and a stiff knee and had been an old bache lor so long that he would probably ob ject to gray patches on a black ground work. There was Squire Cummlngs, whose wife had died three years before, but he had a bossy way about him and had always held his wife down to one third of a bar of soap to a washing. The three men mentioned exhausted the list as far as Cynthia could place them, but hope did not die out of her heart. There was such a thing as Providence, and if Providence had saved the two churches in the village from being struck by lightning for the last 15 years why couldn't and shouldn't it provide her with a husband? Not a week had gone by after she had made up her mind, and she- had not yet decided whether she wanted a man with milk white eyes or red hair when there came a timid knock on the front door. The hour was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Cynthia was Just finishing the last of the carpet rags. She opened the door to find a short timid looking, roily poly man on the steps and to be told that he was can vassing for subscribers for a new mag azine. Cynthia's first idea of him was that he was too short to reach up to the ceiling with a whitewash brush and too timid to accompany her to prayer meet ing without a lantern, but she remem bered that she was depending upon Providence and that Providence had probably sent along the best it had in the shop that day. She therefore sim pered a little and giggled a little and invited Mr. Totten in. Mr. Totten evinced a desire to retreat instead, but probably reflected that it was as dangerous to run as to enter. At any rate, he took a seat in the par lor and began to talk up his magazine. Cynthia replied "yes" and "no" half a dozen times, and then lost all interest in literary matters and gave Mr. Tot ten a sizing up. He wasn't bad to look at, and she wouldn't be ashamed of him at donation parties and camp meet ings. He didn't look to be a man of opinions, and he therefore would sub mit to being bossed. He had a weak, piping voice, but that was also all right In case of any family dispute the neighbors couldn't hear his side of the case. At the end of a quarter of an hour the spinster had made up her mind about things, and she said: "Mr. Totten, are you aware of the fact that this is leap year?" "Bless me, but I'd forgotten it," he replied, with a start that betrayed guilt "It is leap year, Mr. Totten, and may I ask if you recall that leap year car ries with it a privilege for my sex?" "Gracious, but so it does so it does!" "I do not know that this privilege Is generally taken advantage of, but yet I cannot see why not. If I have fallen in love with you, Mr. Totten" "Don't! Oh, don't!" "if I have fallen in love with you and desire to ask for your heart and hand, why should it not be perfectly, proper for me to do so?" "Yes, but but" he stammered as he wiggled around on his chair and blushed like a schoolgirl. "Mr. Totten," continued Cynthia as she laid her hand on her heart, "I fell in love with you the minute I opened the door. Providence sent you here. Providence has planned to unite us." "Oh, gracious me!" "And I therefore ask you, Mr. Tot ten I therefore take advantage of the special privilege accorded my sex once in four years four long and dreary years to ask you if you will be mine." "Dear me! Dear me!" gasped Mr. Totten as he rubbed the palms of his hands together and bobbed about. "It may seem to you a little sudden, Mr. Totten indeed, it Is a little sudden but who can withstand the voice of love? Say that you will be mine and make me happy. I am not rich, and I am not worthy of you, but I will do my best to make you happy." I I couldn't do it!" announced Mr. Totten, as he arose and looked for his hat "Is it possible that you are a mar ried man and have come here to toy with my maidenly heart? If so, sir" "No, no, no! It's Just that I don't don't" "Totten, are you engaged to anoth er?" "No, no!" "Then you sit right down and stay to dinner. Providence sent you here, and i you think I am going to let you get away you are mistaken." But he dodged her and reached the door and flew out and down the path and up the street, and an hour later, as she stood at her gate and wondered how Providence had come to skip a cog, the old man Taylor came along to say: "Curious kind o" thing, wasn't It?" "What?" "Why, a short, fat little man, whom nobody knows, come runnln' up the street awhile ago and dropped dead in front of the tavern. The doctors say he was skeered to death." M. QUAD. POINTED PARAGRAPHS From the Chicago News. Some rich thieves are called finan ciers. Dishonest grocers seldom resort to legal measures. Jokes on marriage are funny only to those who are not married. When the landlord raises the rent he expects the tenant to raise it also. A girl seldom refuses to eat corn from the cob unless she has store teeth. How wonderfully developed must be the furniture m6ver's bump of de structiveness! A woman never Judges a man's ability as a liar by the compliments he hands her. When some men have no better oc cupation they hunt up something for their wives to do. If a lawyer's success depended whol ly upon the gift of gab there would be more woman lawyers. If a girl refuses a young man's pro posal he thinks she doesn't know her mind, so he doesn't mind her no. A woman is as old as she looks, but every woman Imagines she is the ex ception that proves the rule. A girl may be called an angel in spite of the fact that she wears her wings on her hat instead of her shoul ders. Many a man who has succeeded In carving out a vast fortune for himself would not be able to carve a boarding house turkey.

During the South African war the cen sorship of soldiers' letters home was very strict.

j I 1 If t i i if, A Topeka man -who has been reading Robert Chambers" stories of sudden love and marriage In the Saturday Evening; Post had a motif as yet not used by the author which he intends to uggest to him. Briefly it concerns two trapeze performers, man and a woman who meet for the first time at a circus with which they have Just signed. It is in the midst of a performance, a great audience in front, and as the man standing on his head on a cross bar be holds the woman, standing on her head on another cross bar, nearby, he falls immediately in love with her, speaks and learns that his passion is returned (of course Chambers would express it tn no such tame and conventional phrase as this) and the thing is all fixed up, without the audience suspecting it, be fore they have finished their turn. As they drop to the stage floor and standing bowing and kissing their hands to the plaudits of the audience the man seizes the woman's hand and calls out, in the same tone In which they ask for a phy sician under circumstances slightly dif ferent, "Is there a minister in the au dience?" All the ministers in the house sit tight and say nothing, but a probate judge speaks up, a license is secured and the wedding takes place at the end of the performance. One of the popular books of this sea Fon is "The Verdict of the Gods," by Sarath Kumar Ghosh, an East Indian of high caste, who has written an en tertaining story in most excellent Eng lish diction. This Interesting person is contemplating a lecture tour in this country during the coming season. Laird Lee of Chicago have publish ed an elaborate souvenir of the Lewis and Clark exposition. It contains 180 fine half tones. Rex E. Beach, author of the book of Alaskan and western stories, "Pard ners," Is one of the few men who have crossed Katmat Pass. Katmai is con sidered one of the most dangerous passes in Alaska, and the number of men who have perished In attempting to cross It reaches near to one hundred. Mr. Beach went into Alaska overland from Seattle, in 1900, and his route made It necessary for him to cross Kat mai. The worst danger lay in the cold and the high winds, which under certain conditions rushed through the pass at hurricane speed. Beach and his two companions camped below the pass for several days, waiting for an oppor tunity to dash through. The wind sub sided, the Journey was begun, and all went well until the party were Just at the ridge of the divide. Then the hur ricane of wind and snow began again, and Beach and his companions had the fight of their lives. It took the last ounce of muscle and the last atom of energy to reach safety. A few days pre viously, they heard, five men bad lost their lives in an attempt to get through. Mr. Beach looks upon that adventure as the most thrilling event of all his three years' experience In Alaska. An eastern reviewer says of Albert Blgelow Palne's "Little Garden Calen dar," recently published by the Henry Altemus company: Based upon Prof. Langley's motto which inspired his establishment of a children's room at the National museum, "Knowledge Be Ill OF INTEREST The picnic chaperon is Joke. perennial In every house full of girls there is more or less quarreling over hairpins. "When I marry," says a Topeka girl, "it will be, as much as anything, in or der to room with some one who won't steal hairpins or accuse me of stealing them." The fried chicken and olives, the ride out and back, the boat rides and all the other diversions of an evening picnic are merely excuses and methods of kill ing time until darkness falls and the real object of the occasion can be taken up. You can flatter any woman by telling her she is a coquette The Amateur Philosopher. "Ho.v shall I keep them on?" asked the customer, glancing down at the walking slippers that sTie was trying on. "You must cultivate the 'pump walk,' said the clerk. The pump walk is now the recognized gait, and inquiring customers at shoe shops are told that it la essential if they would wear the pretty walking slippers which are decidedly the vogue this sea eon. The slippers were a fashion of last summer, too, but not to the extent to which they are this year. Last season women in general did not know how to walk In them; this season women In general do. To keep on any slipper not fastened over the ankle a sliding step is neces sary. Indoors this step is taken uncon sciously, for carpeted and polished floors offer no obstacle to It, nor do they give the slipper hard wear as it rubs over them. Outdoors an uncompromising slipper walk is an Impossibility. One cannot glide over cobblestones- or across car tracks, nor is a shuffling walk desirable on country paths and roads. A lift of the foot is necessary when walking out of doors. But the usual free lift of foot Is out of the question for slippered feet. Slip pers would be sent flying. The pump walk is a compromise be tween glide and lift. The foot must not shuffle, but it must not at any time be lifted further than will permit of a little tilting up into place of the heel. There is a difference of opinion as to the comfort of the walking slipper. Many women Insist that nothing could be more comfortable. Others, while de claring that the walking slipper is the prettiest thing Imaginable, still say that for a walk of any length it fatigues the foot. "It gets tired thinking," is the way one woman puts it. "A slippered foot Indoors doesn't have to think, nor does a booted foot out of doors but a slip pered foot out of doors is continually on guard of itself. "It must be ready for emergencies. There comes a strain at the toes, and there is a constant slight grind at the gins in Wonder," this attractive little volume Is intended to awaken the in terest of the young folks in garden lore by presenting before them some of the wonders of plant life. The work is arranged chronologically, that is to say, it treats Iq order of the twelve months, and explains the stages of growth according to the procession of the seasons. A personal interest Is given to the narrative by the introduc tion of David and Prudence, who are taught by their grandfather to grow plants in windowgardens in the winter and in the outdoor beds in the spring and summer. The facts about plant life are clearly explained and many in teresting matters, of which a large number of adults are unaware, are set forth in a way to inspire the young sters with an ardent zeal for the gar den work. The book is beautifully bound in a manner to attract the little readers at first glance. A remarkable order was recently placed by the Mexican government with Charles Scribner's Sons for the printing of 1,000 copies of Carl Lum holtz's book called "Unkonwn Mexico." The book had first to be translated Into Spanish under the personal direc tion of a representative of the Mexican government, but in other respects it was printed and gotten up in exactly the same form and with exactly the same illustrations as the edition in English. An American collector recently did a generous thing in giving up one of those prizes which the poor British public is so given to lamenting over, as they are shipped to the states after having failed to call out enough Brit ish guineas at public auction to keep them at home. Robert Burns' family Btble came up in a London auction room in December, and the Burns monument fund trustees authorized what they supposed to be a sufficiently large bid $7,000, it is said. But Quaritch went over $500 beyond this, bidding for Mr. "W. K. Bixby, the St. Louis collector. The grief of the Scotchmen did not content itself with idle repining. They besieged Mr. Quaritch and Mr. Bixbv to such good effect that by paying two commissions, In addition to the sale price of $7,800, they saved the Burns Bible for Scot land. Three hundred years ago that quaint and eloquent physician, Sir Thomas Browne, was born in London. When he was thirty-two he settled in Nor wich, and spent the rest of his life there, and it is there that his birth is to be commemorated this year. "There is no antidote against the opium of time," wrote Browne in "Hydrio taphia" happy would he have been could he have realized that for him and for his work that antidote was to be found. Mr. William Waldorf Astor has writ ten a new story, which he calls "A Glimpse Behind the Veil." It is to ap pear in the August number of the Pall Mall magazine, which will contain also a short story by Jack London, called "Demetrios Contos." A new popular monthly on the dec oration of the home will be published next month by Clifford Lawton, 19 Union Square, New Tork, at $1 a year. It will be called Interior Decoration and sold at ten cents. heel where the slipper works up and down with each step. "Tm all for the walking slipper to wear for easy sauntering or for posing on lawn or piazza or for wear out driv ing. It is the prettiest possible acces sory to a pretty costume. But for real walking, be It in city or country, give me the closefitting tie with the shoe neei. All Paris has gone wild upon the subject of red. Red is worn in the most unexpected ways. It is important at all times to get one's colors right. Therefore it is only Just to say that all shades of red are not fashionable. The woman who comes out in brick red makes a mis take though you see her very often and the woman who wears a red hat that does not go well with her hair makes a double mistake. The reds most in vogue just now are the tomato and geranium colors. The red of the gardenia is also worn and the matchless red of the camellia.

A hat trimmed with red lace goes with this and a red parasol for the sunny spots of the piazza. This gown, which is called, a piazza gown, is also a lawn party dress for lawn teas. ,For evening there come the very thin silk grenadines, the chiffons, the flowered organdies of a quality so thin that they seem like fairy gowns, and there come the heavy silks which are also worn in the geranium, to mato, cerise, gardenia, cherry, beet pomegranates, and cinnamon red. Then there comes the consideration of the small things of dress and here one can come out strong on the red note. There are the neatest of red leather belts, wide and soft, with dull gold buckles which are designed to go with red, linen stocks embroidered in white. Tha prettiest of red stock are those ,i a ma,? if nrViftA linen, hand uiak ui embroidered, through which wide red satin ribbons are run.

In spite of the rumor that fans were to be larger this summer they are still small. A new idea is to have them ornamented with a favorite motto or verse or the name or monogram of the owner embroidered or painted on the surface. Most girls change their manners along with their clothes, and now that lingerie gowns and baby hats have come into vogue an ingeniousness of demeanor is affected by many of the wearers there of. The tall, athletic maiden, who has taken to muslins this summer, no long er defies conventions or glories In be ing called a jolly good sort," but is nestling closely under her chaperon s sheltering wing. Tan, too, which was acquired by hours spent under a broil ing sun, seems to have lost its charm, for only the most delicate of skins ap pears to advantage against, light, fluf fy attire. Some girls, following the ex ample of a leader, wear their veils even while playing tennis. There may be a lack of genuineness in this departure, but it has the charm of novelty and the summer girl feels herself entitled to a different role from the one she has played during the winter season. It is so much the fashion these days to have a kitchen as scientific as the operating room of a hospital and for a woman to know something of every thing, Including the high art of cooking, that one does not often hear a woman disclaim this last accomplishment, says Odette in the Chicago Record Herald. But a little person came here from the south once and fed her friends on such wonderful tidbits that it became a mat ter for converse, particularly as the southerner herself held that she never saw the inside of her kitchen nor knew even what was coming on the table. Cook after cook was lured from this person by promise of higher wages and cook after cook was proved to be a greenhorn at cooking. Finally the aw ful secret came out that it was tne madam herself who tore below stairs many times daily and prepared the dainty morsels for her guests, tseing celebrated, the Joke went still farther, to the sunny south, for this one accom plishment of which she was so piously ashamed here. Ouite different was it with a woman in Chicago of much vogue and position who had opened her house in town for a lew aays ana wh without domestics. She was discovered one morning In her kitchen getting up a breakfast after having furiously scrub bed everything in sight. A lovely, deli cate little creature to begin with, she was all in gauzy, French embroidered white, a string of valuable pearls clasp ed her slender throat, her tiny specks of hands on which gorgeous rings sparkled, struggled valiantly with heavy pots and pans, and there was a fire in her eye and an enthusiasm in her manner that betokened pleasure in her occupation.

When Mr. Bowser reached home the other evening he found a letter which had been delivered an hour before, and after reading it he smiled proudly, and said: 'Well, that comes In handv. I was thinking of taking a day off pretty soon." 'What is !t?" asked Mrs. Bowser. 'Well, I have been elected a member of the G. O. B. club, and have been invited to go on a steamboat excursion tomorrow. All members are privileged to bring their families. We will have a merry day of it." "And what is the G. O. B. club?" "The Gay Old Boys. No one under 40 can join, and all the members must be good fellows. I sent in my name over a month ago, and that I have been elected may be considered a great hon or. The club was founded years and years ago. William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, and other prominent men of their time were members. They give steamboat excursions In the summer and parties in the winter, and are noted for the way they do things. The steamer starts at 9 in the morning. We will be all ready." 'I don't think I care to go." replied Mrs. Bowser as she reached for the letter. 'What! What's that?" T don't care to go. I don't like the name of the club." 'But what on earth has the name of a club to do with going on an excursion and having a good time?" ''If the members are Gay Old Boys then their wives must be Gay Old Girls, and I don't like the idea of it. It doesn't sound a bit dignified. I pre- Mr. Bowser Would Have Gone Down Arnong.the Fishes but for the Captain of a Sand Bar. sume that half the crowd will be tipsy before the boat leaves." 'You have no business to presume any such thing. Do you think a man like Charles Sumner would have anything to do with a tipsy crowd? He and his wife used to go on all the excursions." "What's this?" queried Mrs. Bowser, as she read the letter The name of the steamboat is given here as the Pegleg. That's a nice name for a boat:" "But what has that got to do with itr- "And it says that she is to leave from Bowlegged Wharf and proceed to Jackass Island and' return. It looks to me as if some one-was making game of you." "That's you. of course. You are al ways finding mares'i nests. It's just their hilarious way. The Masons and Odd Fellows and Sons ot Temperance often eet out such circulars. They give a spicy touch to the thing, you know. I want you to De ready Dy nan past eight in the morning." i "But I shan't be. I am not going off with any crowd that calls you an ancient baldhead. Some of them might be making fun of my feet be fore I get back." Nobody has called me an ancieni baldhead!" shouted Mr. Bowser. "Well, what do you call this para graph 'The honorable, ancient and very hilarious secretary Is pleased to an nounce to the ancient, frolicksome and baldheaded Bowser that he has been been elected a member of the gam boliering club.' "That is simply a bit of fun. I guarantee that you will find them the nicest people in the world, and that we will have the time of our lives." "You can go If you wish," replied Mrs. Bowser as she set her jaw, "but I will remain home. There's no use dragging me off when I don't want to go. You can be as ancient and frolicksome and baldheaded as you wish." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick head ache, or any of the distress ing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the S3rstem in an ex hausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and 3rou should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first in dication of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no dis agreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. "For long time I have suffered greatly wltn spells of backache, that seem almont more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I be beg&n the use of Dr. Miles" Anti-Pain Pils, and they always relieve me in a short time.

I'll pack yoa up a lunch, and you can be at Bowlegged Wharf in plenty of time to take the Pegleg." "Have I got an idiot for a wife!" ex claimed Mr, Bowser as ho sprang up and began to pace up and down. "You have." "Then that settles it and we will say no more about it." Mrs. Bowser tried to start conversa tion a dozen times over during the next three hours, but he refused to be pla cated. He went to bed still sulking, and when he awoke In the morning he had nothing to say until breakfast was finished. It was seen that he had on his outing suit, and when he rose from the table he observed: "I am going to the excursion. There will be plenty of lunch on board. Yeu need not expect me till I rturn." "I hope you will have a nice time," replied Mrs. Bowser. "Don't worry your gizzard about that." "I should like to have gone with you, but but "But you are an Idiot!" With that as a parting shot Mr. Bowser was off. Only the cat saw him oft from the front steps. She had heard the affair from the beginning, and as the ancient and f rolicksome baldhead went up the street she said to herself: "There goes a man who is going to get his nose skinned before he sees home again." The programme said that Bowlegged Wharf was between First and Second streets, and Mr. Bowser had no trouble in finding It. There were about twenty members of the G. O. B. club standing around, none of whom had brought their wives or daughters, and there were about fifty men and women who didn't belong to the club. Tickets had been sold to any one who would buy. When the new member had bought one he. introduced himself to a mem ber of the organization and sought to get up a fraternal feeling1. It was no go. "Where's your badge of member ship?" asked the man as he showed his suspicions. ."I I dunno. They didn't send me any." "Then who's to know that you are a member of the club?" "But would I lie about it?" "I can't say as to that. If I were you I wouldn't go to crowding myself In until I had a badge." "I tell you I'm a member of the G. O. B. and have an invitation to go on this excursion." "Then get aboard the steamer and be hanged to you! You seem to think you are the whole show." Only the Cat Saw Him Off from the Front Steps. Mr. Bowser replied that the G. O. B.'s could go to Texas, and he was on the point of going home when he got mad and determined to stay. He therefore cocked his hat over his ear and walked up the gang plank and looked for a seat. He had found one when a man wearing the badge of the club came along and yelled at him: "Didn't I tell ye that these chairs was reserved for members of the club!" "No, you didn't; but if they are I have a right here. J am a member myself." "Where's yer badge?" "I haven't any." "Then your card of membership." "It hasn't come yet." "Say, old snoozer, don't attempt any funny business here. Get along with you." "I say I have a right Mr. Bowser was seized and whirled around and run forward, and when given a last push he fell over a chair. When he got up a man with a sporty look said to him: "Why didn't you watt till we got started before getting drunk?" "I'm no more drunk than you are!" "Well, don't get peppery over it. Do you want to make a good thing of it today?" "I want to see the man who pushed me in the back!" "Cut it out. Cully. They are onto you bigger'n a house on this boat. Why didn't you change your mug? However, I can offer you a good thing. Great place this to work the shell game if you will cap for me." "You you scoundrel!" gasped Mr. Bowser as he realized that he was be ing taken for a fly man. "Take that back. Cully!" "I won't do it!" The sporty man walked away and conferred with three or four wearers of the G. O. B. badge.

Four men grabbed him to run him ashore but as he fought back they steered him in another direction, and reaching the rail of the steamer they lifted him up and hove him overboard.

14 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNALS ATUKD AY EVENING, JULY 8, 1905. x 1 J 1 v 1 1 v llllillilie' ..v...a,.,.A....,s FRENCH IMPORTED SERGE SUIT. Nothing ca be mora simple and at the same time more tasteful than, this white serge costume. No woman or designer will deny for a moment the effectiveness ot the simple outlines, the postilion back, the "roll over" collar ad the blouse front. The splendid use of the border tends to heighten th general effect. The hat is one of the newest tailor styles. The Railroad and the West. The year of the meeting of the rails at Promontory Point was very near the culmination in America of that ancient industry which always foreruns agri culture. The long trail of the cowboys, beginning in southern Texas, has stretched gradually northward, until, when the civil war began, the ranchers of the southwest were marketing their herds in northern cities. With the close of the war, the northward movement set In again. In 1866, a quarter of a million cattle crossed the Red River; in 1871, six hundred thousand.' Tear by year the cowboys passed on to pastures and to markets farther north until they had crossed every one St the five transcon tinental routes, and even entered the British provinces. Then, as one by one khe railroads were thrust out westward, they gradually robbed the cowboy of his occupation. The most picturesque of distinctively American types grew rarer and rarer. The mustang gave place to the locomotive; the herdsman of the fenceless plains to the stockbreed er and the farmer. Still more prosaia figures followed, until all the principal industries, save only such as depends on a seacoast, had their representatives where, within the decade, only the In dian and the buffalo had shared the plains with the cowboy and his cattle. The population of the entire region be tween the Mississippi and the Rockies rose from 4,161,000 in 1S60 to 6,322,000 in 1870; the territory of Nebraska had be come a state in 1867. Meanwhile, in the Pacific states, the total rose to 717,000. The center of population for the whole country had moved forty-two miles westward. In both regions, the years Immediately following brought a still more rapid increase. And again, as be fore the war, the movement had its parallel to the southward. Texas gain ed 214,000 inhabitants during the de eGord.s IT intervals which show a tendency to become lamentably frequent the financial world and its obsequious re flex, the public, are stirred to the founda tion by the announce ment of some flagrant Violation of public trust- The recent unenviable distinction won by Frank G. Sigelow. the Milwaukee bank president whose misappropriation of funds amounting to millions puts him at the very forefront of all workers of this species of iniquity, is a fresh reminder that the safeguards employed in the banking system of today are still in sufficient. This form of moral turpitude seems to recur in cycles. Looking backward, the record of 1894 for misconduct of this description was phenomenal. In that year alone $25,000,000 was lost through embezzlement, defalcation and kindred swindling operations. That was an average of more than $2,000,000 a month stolen outright. Never before in the history of the nation had the record mounted so high. The only in stance that in any way approached it as the record year for swindling bank operations occurred precisely ten years earlier. This was the time of the fa mous Grant Ward exposure, which brought about a sudden decrease In values that told eloquently of the finan cial unsoundness of many a vaunted institution and left in its wake suicide. lllght beyond extradition, arrest and imprisonment- It was in this memorable year of 1884 that the collapse of the Marine bank. New Tork city, was followed by the speedy downfall of the Metropolitan, the flight of John C. Eno, its president, and the investigation of the colossal frauds of that "Napoleon of finance," Ferdinand Ward. Similarly, and even to the extent of additional millions, the banking annals of 1894 disclose an ap palling list of criminal misappropria tion and Its consequent misery. The 1 .v. n.rt1., -ifffiiBiiiiiii riiiimii;s'----tfffn cade; but the emigration into Texas from the older southern states was due quite as much to political as to purely economic and industrial causes. Wil liam Garrott Brown, in the July Atlan tic. A Street of Paris. There is a street in Paris which is named the "Street of Virtues." It appears that the name was originally given be cause the thorouehfare was anvthine- but worthy of it, but times having changed ana tne cnaracter or xne innacutants Hav ing changed with the times, the represen tative of the Third Arondissement (in which the "Street of Virtues" is situated) has been commissioned by his electors to ask the municipal council to sanction a change of name. Some of the reasons cited by the worthy councillor in support of his demand have made the Parisians laugh. He states that when persons living in the street give their address certain persons make suggestive remarks which put them to the blush. He adds that on the principle that srood wine needs no bush, the inhabitants do not need to ad vertise any moral superiority to which they may be entitled by means of a street sign, which and this is the great point may too easily be misconstrued. London Globe. His Worry. "I say, Sambo," said a gentleman to an Improvident negro who had just lost a job for the third or fourth time, "arn't you worried over the question of wherewithal to support you?" "Xiordy, Marse Henry," was the re ply, "I ain't worrin' about wherewith al; I's worrin' about de wherefore fur de herein." Harper's Weekly. "Naw," said Frayed Freddie, "I've quit readin' de papers. I got a shock from one of dem de odder day." "What wuz dat?" asked Weary Willie. "Dey wuz an article in it sayn' dat beer an" whisky couldn't be made wid out water." Philadelphia Press. of speculative fever seemed to have in fected all classes. Bank cashiers and confidential clerks in those speculative days were exposed to peculiar tempta tion. On account of their constant proximity to the scene of speculative effort they were witnesses of the ap parent ease with which great fortunes were sometimes acquired. This oppor tunity afforded by their positions to overlook the daring and frequently successful operations of others has made for the downfall of many a bank employee. Even the oldest and most experienced bank clerks and officials are victims of this specious object lesson in wrong doing. They make themselves believe that they are backing their own judg ment and entering upon operations which they understand fully. Undoubt edly they sometimes meet with success. There are probably many men today who have become wealthy out of specu lations carried on with the money of the corporations by which they were employed in some minor position of trust. They have helped themselves to the funds of their employer, and fortune has permitted them to conceal their peculation until such time as they could replace what they had taken. The most tragic event of this kind that happened in 1894 was the discov ery by the Shoe and Leather bank of New York of the long continued crim inality of its trusted bookkeeper, Sam uel G. Seeley, which was followed by the flight of the culprit and the suicide of his accomplice. Seeley had been in the employ of the bank for fourteen years. For several years he had exclu sive charge of the ledgers lettered from A to K, it not being the practice of the institution to require its bookkeepers to exchange ledgers at stated times. Seeley was paid a salary of $1,800 per annum, and both the bank and the United States Guarantee company, which was on his bond, had convinced themselves that he was a man of most exemplary probity. Tet for nine years he had been abstracting the funds of the bank and had taken, altogether a Sank WA SCEL ri)e State Jour nal prints more want advertise ments than any othr T o p k a newspaper.

No tify Edw. Hanley, Copeland hotel. Increase ined and the others seriously crippled. Several financial institutions were car ried off their feet, and much capital held in trust was lost In the confusion. None of the criminals was punished according to law. One of them com mitted suicide, and two fled with their loot- This outburst of financial deprav ity was a great shock to New Hamp shire, whose record for square dealing had been unbroken for twenty years. Because it is the financial center of the country and the most densely pop ulated state in the Union New York has always headed the list of defalca tions and embezzlements. Its contri bution to the record year of 1894 was over $9,000,000. Next in moral delin quency of this nature, strange as it may appear, came Tennessee, with a record of over $4,000,000 lost by bank dishonesty. Illinois and Iowa were about equally culpable, and Pennsylva nia, Missouri and California were not far behind. South Carolina, Nevada and Arizona were entirely free from this species of criminality. The record of defalcation in the Unit ed States began to be kept regularly in 1878. For the first decade after that it averaged $2,000,000 a year. The never to be forgotten year of 1884, however, with its Ferdinand Ward episode and other notorious operations, raised the figure more than $20,000,000, a total not reached again until the close of the succeeding decade, with its unsavory record of $127,000,000 lost through offi cial dishonesty. During the last decade extraordinary precautions have been taken to make bank peculation by employees practi cally impossible. It is possible that some of the methods devised have been efficient, although the guarantee com panies profess to be skeptical. Thaae surety agents affirm that a dishonest accountant will find a way to nullify any system. Furthermore, it is certain that defalcation everywhere will nt show anV remarkable decline until tfce consciences of bank officials are reor ganized on a temptation proof buia s. .CHARLES CIUlTHM,
