LAST' EIiraON. MONDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 25, 1905. MONDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. KILLEDJIS WIFE. Kyle Moore Also Puts Bullet Through His Head. He Hies Instantly, Woman Lives Several Hours. INSPIRED BY JEALOUSY Wiie Had Asked the Court for a Divorce. Sheriff Appeared With Restrain ing Order 10 Minutes Late. CHRIS GETTY KILLED. Shot by Henry Musick at 11 P. M. Saturday. t'lai.ns He Mistook Him for a Hurglar. Second Murder Occurred Four Hours After First. Kyle Moore, a laborer employed by the Vinewood Stone company, shot his wife and then himself at 7:35 Saturday even ing. Moore died almost instantly from the effect of a bullet in the head, and liis wife, who was shot through the lung and abdomen, died at Keith Rhoades hospital at 9:45 last night. No hopes for her recovery were entertained after the first examination made by Dr. Keith, and it whs with great care that her life was prolonged until a day later. The murdered woman lived at 510 East Fourth street, where the double crime was committed. Moore, who was insanely jealous of his wife, left her about two weeks ago, and the started divorce proceedings. Moore returned and quarreled with her several times, threatening to kill her and the three children. Fearing these threats, Mrs. Moore sent the children to her mother last week. The murder and suicide was commit ted in the little kitchen of the Moore dwelling, which is over the Santa Fe jewelry store. Moore came into the loom, cursing his wife and telling her that he wanted to see the children. Mrs. Hattie Betts, of North Topeka, was in the room with Mrs. Moore when Moore came in, but hurried away when he be gan to abuse his wife and was not pres ent when the shooting occurred. Moore went away after the first visit, and re lumed in a few minutes with a revol ver. Grabbing his wile by the arm he held her while he fired two shots into lier body. When the woman was re leased she staggered to the landing at the head of the stairway, which is in the rear and on the outside of the build ing, and called for help. Moore then pressed the pistol to his head, just above the right ear, and fired one shot. He was dead and the floor was covered with blood when the room was entered by of ticers and others a few minutes later The weapon used by the murderer and suicide was a cheap bull-dog revolver of 38 callibre, loaded all around. The cylin der contained three empty shells and two loaded ones when founds between Moore's feet by Officer Parcel. Mrs. Ida Imbler. who lives next door at 508 Kast Fourth, was the first wit ness of the crime. She was in the rear of her house, and heard the shots. Rush ing into the yard she saw Mrs. Moore on the landing at the top of the stair way. The woman was swaying and groaning. Mrs. Imbler called to her and she replied that she had been shot by lie'r husband. Officer Frank Parcel, who was two blocks away arrived in a short time af ter the shooting, and upon entering the room nearest tne stairway, found Moore huddled on the floor. He breathed twice after the officer entered the room, and then rolled over dead. Dr. H. H. Keith was near at hand when the shoot ing occurred, and appeared in a few minutes. He sent Mrs. Moore to his hosnitnl in an umhiil'jna n n Iha tn the capacity of coroner, made a hasty examination of the dead man and the rooms before going to the hospital in his automobile. The little room where Moore killed himself resembled a slaughter pen. The wound in nis head had bled nrofuselv. and it was almost impossible to move about the room without wading in blood. His clothing was soaked, as was a tierht- ly wadded up coat which lay across his lpgs. He was on hW knees, with his lace buried ui the coat, when found by the officer. Moore had evidently just come from work. He wore dirty overalls and his Fleeves were rolled up. Trouble of Long Standing. The trouble between Moore and his wife has been going on for several months. Mr. R. H. Montgomery, Santa Fe watch inspector, whose jewelrv store occupies the first floor of the building where the tragedy occurred, has been bothered by the second floor tenants and nifir quarrels ior a long time. '"He was insanelv iealous of her snlil Mr. Montgomery when asked about the irouuie, although I know of no reason for it. He would come home unexpect edly from his work in the middle of the day when they were living together, to try to catch her at something. "About two weeks ago the biggest row occurred. They had purchased some furniture on time, and Moore, while quarreling with his wife, telephoned the furniture dealer to come and get his furniture. The dealer did so. and the furniture was hauled away. Then Moore and his wife separated, but he has been back to quarrel with her several times sinca then." Mr. Montgomery was in his store un der the residence of the Moores when the shooting occurred. I did not hear the shots." said Mr Montgomery, but I heard the screams of the woman and heard a fall which I suppose was when Moore dropped on the floor afr shooting himself. I knew that a row was going on, and telephoned the police that a man was up stairs beating his wife with a club. It sound ed that way to me. Then I ran out in the yard back of my store and found Mrs. Imbler supporting Mrs. Moore who was moaning and seemed about to fall. Mrs. Imblcr's Story. Mrs. Ida Imbler, who first reached Mrs. Moore after she was shot, said: "l beard tie shots and beard Mrs. Mrs. Kyle Moore, the Murdered Woman, and the Husband Whd KUIed Her and Himself. Moore scream. I ran out and asked her what was the matter. She was standing on the landing, just outside the door, and was swaying over the railing. 'I am shot come up and catch me, somebody, I am falling.' I ran up the stairway and asked her who shot her. She said, 'My husband he's in there. Oh, my God, I am dying. Teil Nellie her mamma is dying.' I was afraid to go into the house lor a min ute, but hearing nothing I looked in at the door. Moore was sitting on the floor with his head hanging down. Then the policeman came, and he and some other men carried Mrs. Moore an and put her on a bed." Mrs. Imbler was well acquainted with Mrs. Moore, and was able to give some of the history of the trouble between her and her husband. She said that Moore came to the house several days ago, and asked his wife where she had hidden the children, as he wanted to kill the whole family. Mrs. Moore was preparing seme milk for the children, and when Moore went away after cursing her, noticed that the milk had suddenly curdled. Fearing that he had poisoned it, she threw the milk away. Then she told Mrs. Imbler and other neighbors of the occurrence, and said that her husband had threatened to poison them. Last Friday Mrs. Moore commenced suit in thedistrict court for a divorce. She also secured a restraining order against Moore, forbidding him to molest her. Sheriff Lucas had been unable to locate Moore to serve the papers in the restraining order, and when Mrs. Moore, called him up Saturday evening, he took the restraining order with him. Ten minutes before he reached the house with the papers Mrs. Moore had been shot and Moore was lying dead. Moore was 30 years of age, and his wife 26. They had beon married about 6 years, and had three children, Nellie aged 5. Jennetene aged 2 and a year-old baby girl. When Moore came to her house and threatened to kill the children last Mon day, she sent them to her mother's house for safety. Before her marriage Mrs. Moore was Carrie Templin. and her fahter, Wil liam Templin. a blacksmith, lives in the flats on the northeast corner of Eighth and Madison streets. Moore and his wife werfl Catholics, and their father confessor had attempt ed to re-establish family felicity in their household, but failed. Mrs. Moore's application for a divorce was against the creed of her church, and in speaking of it to friends she had de plored the move but declared that she was afraid of Moore and dared not live with him any longer. Moore had been employed for a week as hoist man at the Vinewood stone quarry. Mr. W. W. Maxwell, the man ager, says that the foreman reported to him on Saturday that Moore had been acting queerly all day and appeared de mented. He would ask peculiar ques tions and talked in a rambling manner. Killing of Chris Getty. Chris Getty, of 1014 North Madison street, was shot in the head at 11 o'clock Saturday night, and died in about an hour. Henry Musick, an old man em ployed by Frank Raynor, fired the shot, and made no denial when arrest ed a few minutes later by Officer Palmer, of the police force. The shooting occurred in Frank Raynor's house at 413 West Curtis street, where Musick was sleeping. Getty and George Shonkweiler came into the room, and Musick raised up in bed, seized a heavy revolver from a chair within reach, and shot Getty in the top of the head. He then closed with Shonkweiler, who being stronger than the old man, disarmed him. Hearing the shot. Officer Palmer ran to the house and placed Musick under arrest. When Musick was brought over in the patrol wagon he refused to sit up, but lay face downward on the floor of the wagi.n. moaning and saying that he was sick. In answer to questions he said that he was asleep when Getty came in, and mistook the old man for a burglar. He further stated that Frank Raynor had left him to guard the house. "I don't remember much about it," he said between groans. "I was asleep, and I seem to remember somebody coming in and saying. 'I got more right in here than you have.' I thought he was breaking into the house, and I must have got up and shot him. I didn't know anything for sure till the gun went off, and that woke me up. I ain't going-to tell no lie about it, and I done the shooting, but I didn't know who he w.as." Dr. Keith was called by the officers, and hurried to the scene of the shoot ing, but when he examined Getty and found the brains oozing from the wound in his head, he told the officers that the man would die, and that to try to move him to the hospital would kill him at once. Dr. Keith remained with Getty until he died an hour later. When Music was brought to the po lice station and locked up, he seemed to be suffering, and groaned continual ly. He repeated his statement about the shooting, and said he didn't care what was done with him, and he couldn't help it. While he was being searched he was asked the cause of an injury to his nana. liis knuckles were skinned, and his hand was covered with blood. "I don't know anything about it," an swered Musick wearily. It is thought that his hand-was injured in the scuf fle with Shonkweiler, who disarmed him after the shooting of Getty. How Getty Was Shot. When the officers arrived at the scene of the shooting, they found Get ty lying on the floor, gasping for breath, but unable to speak. Musick seemed to be dazed, -and kept his hands to his head. Shonkweiler was present, and told his version of the shooting. "Getty and I came in together," he said, "and old man Music got up and was going to run us out. Getty said he had as much right in there as Mu sick, and then Musick shot him. When he shot Getty he jumped onto me, and I took the gun away from him. He acted crazy drunk." Frank Raynor was interviewed last night. "I can't tell you much about It," said Raynor. "Music had been drunk for several days, and -was ugly and 'sassy.' I intended to fire him Satur day night, but he didn't show up so that I could. It .seems that he crawled Into the house and went to bed early in the evening, and when Getty and Shonkweiler went down there, he got mean. Getty and Musick have not been friendly, but there had never been any open row between them. "The gun was mine, and I didn't know it was in that house. It has laid around for years, first at one place and then other, and was never intended for anything but a bluff in case of trouble. Old man Music must have found it when he went tin there, and laid it handy for trouble. "There was no excuse for his bur glar story, because the electric light was burning, and he knew Getty as well as he knew me. and he has work ed -for me far -a long time. I under stand there was some words passed be tween them before the shooting. "T couldn't keen the old cuss sober and I don't believe anyone else could. I sent Getty down there on an errand and Shonkweiler went with him. Getty had a right to go there all right, and walk in, as he did." The revolver used by Musick is a 4a calibre Remington of the largest type. When it was examined by the officers it contained five loaded cartridges and one emptv shell. Getty was shot through the top of the head, the bullet making a long wound, from which the brain matter es caped while Getty was dying. Chris Getty was the father-in-law of Frank Raynor and was employed by him. Raynor is a brewery agent and both Getty and Musick were employed in delivering beer to joints. Musick, the slayer, lives at 715 Bast Sixth avenue and has a wife and two grown children, a son and a daughter. He is 57 years of age. Detective Betts of the police force, who knows Musick, said at the time of the ar rest that he bad no idea that the old man would harm any one. "He was so meek," said Betts, "that you could slap his face and he would not resent it in the least. I think he must have been frightened into firing at Getty." The officers found an electric light burn ing in the room where the shooting occur erd. The light was one of the two power kind and was turned to the low notch, but everything in the room was distinctly vis ible, and Musick admits that the light was burning when he shot Getty. At the time of the shooting Frank Ray nor and his family were in the house im mediately in front of the little house.They heard the shot and with the exception of George Shonkweiler and J. A. McManns, who were present at the time of the shoot ing, were the first on the scene. McManns and Shonkweiler were visiting Ravnor in the front house when he sent his father-in-law back to the small house in the rear on an errand. Shonkweiler and McManns accompanied him. Shonkweiler had his shirt torn off In the scuffle for possession of the revolver. Geo. Shonkweiler is the survivor of the Shonk weiler disaster of the flood of 1903, when the Shonkweiler residence, in the north part of North Topeka. was swept away by the water and the other members of the family were drowned. Frank Raynor is the agent of the Heim Brewing company and lives in the house at 413 West Curtis street. The little house where the shooting occurred is in the yard directly back of the residence and was for merly used as a joint. Liquors were stored in the place since the general closing order and it is presumed, although not admitted, that Raynor sent Getty back to get some refreshments for his own use. Since the place was closed it has con tained a bed and it is thought that Musick went in there early in the evening while very drunk and went to sleep, first plac ing the large revolver on a chair near his bed. The door was not locked and Getty had no trouble in walking in. Getty was about 60 years of ase and leaves three grown children, one of them being the wife of Raynor. Coroner's Inquest Is Held. A coroner's .inquest in the North To peka murder case was commenced at Hogan's undertaking establishment at 11 o'clock today. Before the noon ad journment two witnesses were heard. The first witness was Frank Raynor, proprietor of the place on, Curtis street where Chris Getty was shot and killed by Henry. Music, and-son-in-law of the man who was killed. Raynor testified, that he sent his (Continued os Page Six.) COX'S BANK SHUT. Kansas City State Does Not Open Its Doors. Notice That It Has Gone Into Voluntary Liquidation. $567,000 CITY MOJiEY. On Deposit in the Institution When It Closed. Trouble Brought on by Loan to Salmon Salmon. Kansas City, Sept. 25. The Kansas City State bank, Wiley O. Cox, presi dent, failed to open its doors today, having gone Into voluntary liquidation. The bank has loaned J168,000 to the Bank of Salmon and Salmon Co., which failed last July, catching deposi tors for several hundred thousand dol lars. The Kansas City State bank was organized in 1888, and bad a capital of $200,000. The last statement showed loans of $4,000,000, deposits $4,750,000; surplus $14,000. The following was posted on the door at the opening hour today: "This bank has gone into voluntary liquidation "through the Fidelity Trust company. Checks drawn against the bank will be paid on presentation by the Fidelity Trust company, at Ninth and Walnut streets. (Signed), "WILEY O. COX.'President." The Fidelity Trxist company, which is capitalized at $1,000,000 is considered one of the strongest banking institutions in the southwest. The Kansas City State bank holds $567,000 of the city's money. Wiley O. Cox, president of the Kansas City State bank, is one of the oldest ana best known men in Missouri. He has lived in Missouri since 1868. In 1872 he was a clerk in the First National bank at Springfield, Mo., coming to Kansas City in 1881. From 1884 to 1888, he was engaged in a general financial and loan brokerage business. He organized the Kansas City State bank in 18S8 and has always been its president. In 1896 he bought the Kansas City Times, a ven ture that did not pay and In 1899, he sold the paper. At the Fidelity Trust company's bank checks on the Kansas City Stat-; b:r.k were honored as fast as presented. There was no show of commotion and Charles Campbell, vice president of the Fidelity Trust company, stated that all checks drawn on the closed bank would be paid on demand. Cox's Statement. Wiley O. Cox, president of the Kan sas City State bank, made the following statement to the Associated Press: "The retirement the Kansas City State bank from active business is vol untary.' OUr business has been growing less until it is hard to hold our own with the larger Institutions, In fact, it looks as if the banking business, as well as all other lines, is consolidating into the large ones. "The condition of the business was thoroughly gone over by the board of directors and the conclusion was reach ed that it was not prospering as it ought to do in order to be profitable, and it was determined to go into voluntary liquidation. One plan, which might have been adopted was to do our own liqui dating, paying depositors on demand, and taking on no new business. This would have proved very expensive, as it would have involved borrowing a large sum of money from the bank's paper, in order to pay depositors at once, while the force required to handle it would cost us a large sum. "Accordmgiy.negotiationsior tne liqui dation by the trust company banking institution, was made.resulting in the making recently, of an entirely satisfac tory arrangement, whereby the Fidelity Trust company, one of our strongest banking houses, has taken over the bus iness of the bank and Is paying our de positors, in the ordinary way, on de mand, the same as we would be doing, if still running. "On retiring from the banking busi ness, for the present, after an active ca reer of many years, I cannot help feel ing extremely proud that no depositor has ever failed to have his checks hon ored and paid on presentation at any bank with which I have connections." The Fidelity Trust company volunteered to pay the city treasurer the amoilt of the city's funds on deposit in the Kansas City State bank, but the money was not withdrawn. WU TING FANG HURT.

"BLACK HAND" METHOD Used to Extort Money From a New York Family. New York, Sept. 25. Irene Grossman, a girl 16 years of age, was round uncon scious in the hall way of her home early today. The attack was the culmination of a series of nigntly entries in tne tirossman private residence which were intended to enforce oy DiacK nana memoa pay ments of money for immunity from attack. Beginning Friday night a negro visited the house nightly, appearing only to Miss Grossman and escaping when frightened by her screams. Despite the lookout set for him by the family, he succeeded in getting at Miss Grossman before she had a warning. Her brother told the police his sister had started for a morning walk when she was surprised. He heard her screams and ran into the hallway, where he found her unconscious, but saw nothing of tne man. The. police found two pictures in the Grossman home with their faces turned to the wall and notes demanding money written on the backs.. On the back of a photograph of Mrs. Grossman was writ ten: "We expect $900 from you. B. F. C." On the back of one of her daugh ter's nictures was written in the same hand: "We expect $200 from you. B. F. C." In the two previous visits to the house the burglar had stolen several valuable pictures ana more man twv worm or sil verware. Miss Grossman's injuries are not be lieved to be dangerous. MORE ROOM FOR INSANE Chairman Sehernierhorn Says It Is Badly Needed. E. B. Schermerhorn, chairman of the board of control, returned today from a trip of inspection to all the charitable institutions of the state un der the board's charge. He was ac companied on the inspection tour by Sherman Elliott, and the trip has con sumed two weeks of time. "It is certain," said Mr. Schermer horn, "that the next legislature should increase the capacity of the hospitals for the insane. The institutions are now crowded, and many are unable to be provided with accommodations. In my opinion it is the duty of the state to provide for the care of all these un fortunates, and we should not, leave them in the poor houses, jails and lockups around the various counties. There is an absolute need of more room, and the legislature should make provision to meet the demand. "In our visit to the institutions throughout the state, we found every thing in good condition. The institu tions seem to be doing good work. The only trouble is the overcrowding in the insane asylums, and that is some thing which ought to be attended to soon. "Out here at the Topeka asylum they are at work remodeling an old bam to provide accommodations for about 25 patients. Most of the work is being done by the employes of the school, but when it is ready for use, it will increase the faculties somewhat," IT IS STILL HOT. Mercury Again Nears the 90 Mark This Afternoon. The night temperatures continue con siderable lower than those of the day but that is not saying much for the temperature at 11 o'clock today is right at the 80 mark and there i nothing to indicate -that it will stop climbing until it reaches 90 or 100. Sunday was also a fine warm summer day with con siderable more heat than most people could absorb with comfort. Clear weather prevailed over the en tire state this morning with a slight in crease of temperature in the eastern portion of the state, and in western Missouri while the temperatures in western Kansas are slightly cooler than those of last week.

LEFT TOJTS FATE Abandoned Babe Found on a Doorstep. No Trace of Its Parents Now at Orphan's Home. The heartbreaking wail of a woman forced to abandon her Infant, the gruff voice of a man evidently driving her to give up her dearest treasure, were the prelude to the discovery of a lit tle girl on the doorstep at 210 Western avenue last night. A baby girl but three weeks old was heartlessly forsaken by its parents Sunday evening and left on the front porch of the dwelling at 210 Western avenue. The babe was discovered by Mrs. Joseph Chatham at about 7:15 in the evening as she was returning to her home from a brief visit with her neighbors next door. When found the infant 'was lying wrapped up light ly in a woolen shawl on a porch settee and at first glance it was mistaken for a large doll belonging to the small daughter of Mrs. Chatham. Still un der the impression that it was a doll, for the porch was in a gloom and the light was not strong enough to reveal anything to the contrary, Mrs. Chat ham picked the babe up into her arms and started across the porch to bring it into the house. A slight movement on the part of the babe soon revealed the fact that it was no inanimate imi tation.. The surprise and consterna tion of the burden bearer can be easily imagined. Had it not been for the presence of a neighbor lady Mrs. Chatham in her surprise would have dropped the infant. The news of the foundling soon spread about the neigh borhood. It was decided that the best thing that could be done under the circumstances was to place it in the hands of the matron of the-orphans' home, which is but a block away. The foundling is there now under th careful attention of the matron. A change of clothing ;.i.J the Miatvl was the only thing whi .h accompanied the infant when plarei forsaken on thu settee. The babe did .rot ive foitn a. whimper and simply opened up its eyes when it saw the little audience it had gathered around itself. Not once did it cry. Where the child came from und who the parents are is a mystery. That the desertion of the child must have beeu done very quickly is certain, for Mrs. Chatham had been absent from her home about 15 minutes. At seven o'clock she went over next door a"nd within a quarter of an hour she return?!. Tht heavy foliage of the trees and the ab sence of any street lamp at the corner of Second street rendertd the act of desertion an easy matter, fo rno one could detect the narties or the act un less they had been, forewarned. Neighbors say that they heard the shriek of a woman, the gruff voices of men and the clatter of the wheels of a rapidly moving hack ai about 7 o'clock or little while thereafter. It is believed that this incident may have a relation to the desertion of the child. CALLS IT ROBBERY. Thomas Taggart Discusses New York Life's Campaign Contribution. New York, Sept. 25. Thomas Tag gart, chairman of the Democratic na tional committee, is staying at the Waldorf-Astoria. When asked what he thought of the testimony of President John A. McCall of the New Tork Life, that he had contributed $48,000 of the company's money to the Republican campaign fund, Mr. Taggart squared himself in his chair and said with deliberation and impressiveness: "I know of no more bare-faced rob bery than the admission of Mr. McCall that he put his hand down into the treasury of the New York Life Insur ance company and took out $48,000, which he contributed, without the consent of the policy holders, to the Republican campaign fund." "Are you a policy holder in the New York Life?" Mr. Taggart was asked. "I am and have been paying pre miums for some years," he said with some feeling. "You never were asked whether or not you approved of the contribution of the policy holders' money to help elect President Roosevelt?" "I was not. If any letter was sent to me asking my opinion as to the propriety of -such action, it miscar ried." It is learned that Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democratic presidential candidate against Mr. Roosevelt, is a policy holder in both the Equitable and Mutual Life Insurance companies, officers of which are to be put on the stand by the Armstrong committee to testify vhether these companies -contributed to the Republican campaign fund in 1901.

The president is devoting consider able time each day to work on his an nual message to congress. For some time he has been assembling data for the message, and since the adjourn ment of the peace conference he has been writing the data into deflnita form. The message will not be com pleted until some time early in No vember, because each member of the cabinet will have to supply material for discussion of the work of his de partment. This information will be contained in the annual reports of the cabinet officers, which have not been completed. Three topics, highly important at this time to the American people, will be discussed by the president in his message. They are the federal regu lation and supervision of life insur ance, the relations between this coun try and Venezuela, and America's in terest in the fiscal affairs of the gov ernment of Santa Domingo. Other important subjects naturally will b considered, among them the scandals disclosed in the departments of agriculture and the interior; the work of the department of justice in the beef trust cases; the regulation of railroad freight rates; the progress made in the construction of the Pan ama canal and the conclusion of peace between Russia and Japan. Much of the material for the dis cussion of these subjects President Roosevelt now has in mind, and the last days of his stay at Sagamore Hill are being devoted to the preparation of that part of his message which will deal with them. Few visitors have been received since the adjournment of the peace conference, the president desiring to be as free as possible from interrup tion while working on his message. His .last week here is practically de void of engagements. The considera tion of all matters except those of im mediate importance Is being post poned until the president shall have reached Washington. FALW1A WINS. Cuba's First President Has Been Given a Second Term. Havana, Sept. 25. The presidential election in Havana passed off quietly, and telegrams from the interior say there were no disorders except at Place tas, in the province of Santa Clara, where maSy shots were fired, but no one was killed, The Liberals admit the complete vic tory in Havana of the Moderates, the party of which President Palma Is the candidate. They say they did not vote because Moderate policemen stationed at the polls prevented them from doing so. General Gomez was the Liberal candidate. A reporter of the Associated Press visited a majority of the polls here hut stt nnnp of tfrpm Twit or 1 nn-v in-1 dication of restraint upon the voters. Good order was maintained throughout the city, and with the exception of a man being shot and probably fatally in jured, and. another being seriously hurt on the head by a rock, there has been no trouble. Crowds which gathered in the Liberal club rooms were dismissed by orators, who informed them that the Moreates were victorious, and requested Liberals to retire to their homes. The Liberals club was closed and barricaded. A num ber of Liberals say that this was done because they hed revived word that the government intended to search the place for arms. An expert of Cienfuegos who examin ed one of the bombs in Congressman Villeundas' room, declared It contained enough explosives to blow up an entire diock. iDe governor, it is saia, nas ev idence showing that Villeundas took 12 bombs to Cienfuegos.

FSOM ONE TO AX OTHER Declared the Water Was Muddy to Swallow. Too la Some of the Joints lie Only Took "Ponies." Kansas City, Kan., Sept.". 25. Myron A.. Waterman, reformer -who is obtaining evidence to be .used ip a crusade to close the "joints." went slumming among the "joints" in Armourdaie and Incidentally drank several glasses of beer, "The city water is so muddy I can't drink it, so I was forced to drink beer" while in the Sixth ward," said Mr. Wa terman. -On Joint keeper recognised Water man while he was standing at the bar in Kansas avenue "Joint" drinking a glass of beer. The Jolntkeeper sent for u. photographer to take the reformer's picture drinking beer, but Waterman had gone when the photographer ar rived. "J was going to send the picture to Carrie Nation," said the jointkeeper. Visitlag the "joints" and drinking beer at the bar ts Waterman's method of collecting evidence. However, Wa torman can order ''ponies" In soma of the "joints" and not absorb a larse quantity of beer in getting evidence against them all. Many years ago near Fidelity in Nemaha county there was a celebration of the Fourth of July at which two or three barrels of beer disappeared. The county attorney collected a, considerable number of citizens and took them to Seneca to appear against some defend ants who had owned the barrels and were charged with selling liquor. One Jd German testified that he could not tell whether it was beer or not, but it did not affect him in the least. Th prosecuting attorney asked how many glasses of beer hs would have to drink to feel the effect. ,"I tink about sixty, maybe seventy," was the answer, and the witness refused t guess what the barrel contained as He had not taken that many driuks. On that basis Waterman's one glass in a place is likely not to prove very valua ble aa evidence. THOUGHT HE WAS A 'PHONE. Queer Action of an Escaped Osawato. mie Asylum Patient.

In the first game of the season for the Uni versity of Kansas football team the Jayhawkers defeated William Jewell college of Liberty, Mo., on McCook field Saturday afternoon--by the score of 37 to 0. The Baptists' quarter, had only, two chances' to call signals. In the first half Kansas fumbled and the visitors got the ball on their sec ond play, but lost immediately on a fumble. This was repeated in the second half. The Jayhawkers were never forced to punt and only twice took more than two downs to make the required five yards. The heat was oppressive and the Baptists were in poor condi tion, so only 15 minute halves were played. William Jewell kicked oft. Kansas fumbled in mid-field. The Baptists made no gains and McAttee fumbled. Kansas took the ball 55 yards in three minutes. Myers went around the end for 20 yards, Donald and Brunner made successive gains, and Donald carried the ball over. Pooler missed goal. William Jewell kicked off to Pooler, who returned It 25 -yards. Myers took the ball 50 yards. Pooler and Rouse each made through 10 yards for a touchdown. Pooler kicked goal. William Jewell kicked off to Pooler, who returned the ball 40 yards. Brunner, Rouse, Myers, Miller, Don ald and Pooler helped take the ball- to a touchdown. Pooler kicked goal. The half ended, Kansas 17, William Jewell 0. The second half was another" pro cession. A safety, three touchdowns and three goals kicked finished the scoring. The game .was called while there was still three minutes to play, so that the visitors could catch a train. The game showed conclusively that Coach Kennedy and Captain Pooler Intend to put a winning team on the field this year. Material is plentiful. Hart worked well at quarter and Pooler guarded right end in an im pressive way. Reed, the Kansas City, Kas., boy, was as good as a ton of rock at center. Donald and Brunner at tackles lasted the whole game, al though they were worked hard. Rouse is a good running mate for Pooler. Burt. Heintzman and Pin gree. all new men, did excellent work at the guards. In Myers, Miller, Mc Naughton, Waring and Brawley, Ken nedy has a bunch of backs who can be depended upon. The visitors had little chance to show the stuff that was in them. Their line men oftentimes became brilliant in their playing, especially Baker, Martin and Johnson.

Five touchdowns and as many goals were reeled off by the Cornhuskers, while Nebraska's goal was never once endangered.

Auto Meet at Fair Grounds Sadly Disappointing. Local Enthusiasts Decline to Take Any Part. A GOOD SIZED CROWD. About 1,000 People Paid to See the Races. Messrs. Fisher and Gilmore Didn't Break Any Records. Nearly a thousand persons paid twenty-five cents each for the mere priv elege of getting into the fair grounds yesterday afternoon. It was their ex pectation to see a series of good auto mobile races, as it had been advertised extensively that thi-re was to be an au tomobile meet of: -proportions similar to those which would have developed on the last day of the.stato fair had not unfavorable weather conditions inter vened. What they saw for their money was a farce as far as automobile races go and there is such a question as to who was responsible for this fares that the lees siid about the matter the better for all concerned. A couple of professionr.l chauffeurs, J. T. Fisher, driver of a Pope Toledo car, and W. H. Gilmore, handler of a Ford racer, were in town a week ago to participate in the automobile races on the last day of the fair. The weather was such that these races could not be held and the two men decided to stay over, so they say, with the understand ing that an automobile meet would, be held yesterday so that an opportunity would be given them to make their ex penses. Tentative plans for this meet were talked ovt.r early in the week d- the local automobilists, who are proud of the speed of their cars, but in some way these plans petered out, and the pro fessionals decided to go it alone, as far as the management oS the mset was concerned, with the understanding that local enthusiasts would lend their aid and enter some of the race. J. H. Wittman, an automobile agent of Kansas City, had charge of the ar rangements of the meet. He had plan ned to start the ball a rolling yesterday with a five mile race for light power runabouts. Several local men had prom ised to start in this but not one of the.n showed up; so this race had to be de clared off. Next on the programme was a three mile novelty race for touring cars with full equipment and carrying passengers. The feature of this race wa to be that the cars should be stopped at the end of each lap and the passengers alight and enter the cars again before resum ing the journey. There were no entries on hand for this but Ned Osborn loan ed his touring Pope Toledo to Gilmore, one of the professionals, and a novelty pfarty was secured to fill it. This pro vided One entry, but a race is not much of an affair when there is only one starter and as the crowd in the grand stand was clamoring for a race of any kind John Matthews, who was on the grounds with his Smith touring car, decided to enter. Mr. Matthews had things his own way throughout the race. Its distance was reduced to two miles and Mr. Matthews won by a whole half mile. This was due to tho fact that seme part of the mechanism in Mr. Ostorn's car refused to work properly and for the greater part of the journey the best that Gilmore could do with it was to keep it a goiiv at a snail's pace. Mr. Osborn knew that his car was in no shape to race but he was willing to put it on the track to provide the crowd present with some sort of excitement, rnd that was considerably more than many Topeka automobHists, who were Ftesent, were willins to do with thfir cars which were in eood condition Next on the official programme was a five mile match race between the Pope-Toledo and Ford cars, driven by Fisher and Gilmore. It had been ad vertised that S. M. Lyman was to en ter his Smith car, which had been strip ped to racing form for the fair races, in this race, but Mr. Lyman said that the advertised entry of his car was without his permission and that he had had no intentions of starting In the race. Before this race started it was an nounced to the grand stand that its distance had been reduced to three miles. Fisher and Gilmore started their machines at a slow clir and kept together for the entire distance. First one would be ahead and then the other but their desire to make the race an ven oa was so Bailable that the a. .a. .a IV '1 n 'tuy-gyfr" -fegy tsi it Health .sv

-1 1 f -4 V cv v Is r i:r"'3r" -i--P!n,"7r"Tr""r"r),i V V V V V crowd in the grand stand began to yell. The first yells of the crowd seemed to wake up the chauffeurs, for.they put on steam and finished the three miles in 5:56 1-5. They had evidently got warmed up to the game for they did not. stop at the end of the three miles, but went on for two and a half miles more. Their time for five miles was 9:20, which is not very fast going for racing automobiles. Chester Engle, William Bryant and Clark Stroop then essayed to do mile bicycle race. They wallowed around the track twice and succeeded in get ting under the wire in the remarkably slow time of three mjnutes and fifteen seconds. Bryant and Engle finished wheels apart but they were going so slow that each of them came near falling over for want of momentum. Fisher then started out with his Pope-Toledo for the world's record of 1:17 for a mile on a half mile track. He was able to do the trick in 1:50. This was enough for the crowd.. Some one got up and in. a facetious way said: "All who are dissatisfied will please go to the gate and get their money back." Every one started for the gate, not with "the expectations of getting any money but with the idea of getting away from the frost. While they were going Gilmore went after the mile record and he did as good,- or as bad whichever way one locks at it. as 1:53. Fisher made an other trial and went the distance in 1:47 "A and then the race meet was ove?: Fisher and Gilmore; said that they had done the best they could without local support to give the crowd its money's worth. At any rate they had the money and the crowd had another experience with automo bile races. LIST OF KANSAS FA1KS.

Born .Invention Will Revolu tionize Operation of Trains. AUTOMATIC ENGINEER Will Flash Danger Signals and Set Drakes If Necessary. Gossip and Matters ol Interest in Railroad Circles. Operation of railroad trains is to be revolutionized by the use of a device owned by Kansas City men to prevent head-on or rear end collisions. It is the most important and far reaching inven tion brought to light in years, and ev ery engine equipped with it' will carry in its cab what amounts to an automatic engineer that will have. the power of de tecting danger miles, ahead and which, should the regular engineer fail to do, will put on the brakes and shutoff the steam just as If animated with human life. The device is known as the Born in vention to prevent railroad accidents, and American Signal company owns the patents. This company is controlled by Kansas City men, a syndicate having Deen formed some weeks ago for that purpose, of which M. H. Hudson is pres ident and W. B. Doddridge, formerly general manager of the Missouri Pacific railroad is manager. And more, too, the patent also covers a device to enable passengers on a moving train to telegraph or telephone to any given point or to any. other mov ing train. This has been done under actual service conditions and the con versation carried on with the same de gree of ease and comfort as if the tele phone were in an office or home. The Born device consists of a one quarter horse power dynamo placed on the tender,, and run by steam from the engine, a rheostat placed in the cab, a series of warning lights and a bell be fore the engineer's eyes and a metal grip, actuated by a magnet, which will let the air into the pipes and stop the train, if all the previous signals have been ignored. The Born device is said to be the only one in existence which does not depend upon the human ele ment. It is as automatic as a mouse trap. You set the device and the me chanism does the rest. The engineer and fireman may be asleep or dead, dis patchers may send out wrong orders, conductors may interpret directions er roneously. Any one of these causes might cause head-on or rear-end col lisions under ordinary conditions, but with the Born device properly set disas ters will be impossible. The current generated by the dynamo runs on one hand into the rails and on the other to the rheostat, which is a device used to regulate the volume of an electric current a sort of a safety valve. The rheostat is so adjusted that the current is not of sufficient power to pass it under or dinary conditions. Two locomotives elec trifying the rails before and behind them approach each other on the same track. When they get within a certain distance whjcji is regulated by the trainmen the rails will be carrying twice the current for which the device "is set. As a result the electricity will force its Way through the rheostat on both locomotives and -set Into action the safety signals. The incandes cent light before the engineer's eyes will glow dimly and as the trains draw nearer to one another begin to blaze brilliantlyT the electric bell begins to tinkle and then to sound furiously. If none of these warn ings is heeded the separate storage battery is drawn into action, energizes a magnet and the metal grip plunges out, engages with the air lever and automatically turns on the brakes. This happesn on both trains and both will be brought to a dead stop. Actual tests were made on the Chesa peake Beach railway out of Washington and engines heading for each other at full speed on the same track were stopped one mile apart and at other distances down to 350 feet. Full crews and expert railway men and electrical engineers were on the locomotives and the engines could have been stopped by the engineers as soon as the warning signals began to make them selves felt to the eye or ear, but the de vice was allowed to show all it could do and met all expectations entirely by stop ping both trains at the distance designat ed. These tests were made many times, covering several weeks of time, and under all kinds of weather conditions. Since these tests were made an apna ratus by which the return wire for the device which runs between two sets of tracks or alongside one set, can be used tor telegraphing or telephoning. Special In struments are used, which obviate com pletely all the difficulties which might reasonably be expected in telephoning from a noisy, moving train. QUEST FOR LONG LIVED TIES. Southern Pacific Making Test of In terest on Two Mile Stretch. One of the details of railroading which is ever attracting the attention of railroad officials throughout the country is that of cross ties and a method of preserving them. The rap idity with which ties are rotted after being laid causes a continual demand for a formula for the preservation of them. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe has had considerable success in treating them with creosote and it has an immense tie treating plant of this character at Galveston, but all the roads, are not satisfied that this is the best method. The Southern Pacific, being one of the many roada in quest of a means of preserving ties, is now making a test, a stretch of track, two miles in length along the Galveston, Houston Northern near Seabrook having been selected for this purpose. Five dif ferent kind of ties have been laid on this stretch of track. Some of these ties are treated by all the different known methods, while some are untreated-, the idea being to ascertain the lasting, qualities of the different ties. In addition to the test of ties and tie treating methods, a trial is being made along this same stretch of track of a new kind of spike which is now in vogue in Europe and is known as a treeual or screw spike. These spikes, instead of being- driven, are screwed in by a powerful wrench. These experiments are being watch ed with interest not only by the of ficials of the Southern Pacific but also by officials of many other large sys tems. AVOID ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW. Dealers Us In 3 MaUs to Circumvent Oklahoma Statute. -Railway clerks on trains between Kansas City and Oklahoma report a sudden increase in a peculiar kind- of mail. It started a few days ago in the form of circulars and has now de veloped into packages. Upon investigation it has been found that the manufacturers of cigarette paper have learned a -way to get around the Oklahoma law that forbids the giving away or ..selling of cigarettes in the territory. They se cure through the cigar dealers in Oklahoma the Dames of the cigarette Heads' in the vartwtt I'ocanties, mail to j them circulars elying prices, mail the tigia v llc -paper to mem, express tne necessary tobacco .nA- the transaction is complete. i V This brings up the question of using the mails to violate a state or territory law.- An effort is to be made by the anti-cigarette league of Oklahoma to get a postal fraud prder issued against these dealers in cigarette material and this will bring the issue up to the courts. TIES PUT ON TRACK FOR FUN. Young Mexican Wanted to See How Hard Engine W ouItT Bump Them. Trinidad, Colo., Seat." 25. For the pur pose of seeing jUst how. hard the en gine would bump-them is the only ex cuse offered by Jose Romero, a Mexi can youth, who was arrested last week by Deputy Sheriff Frank Trujillo, on a charge of placing a number of rail road ties on the tracks of the Colorado and Southern. It is believed that a disastrous wreck was averted by the vigilance of the deputy sheriff. Romero is but 15 years old, yet the officers think he had a full realization of what he was doing, although it is not believed he thought the tieq might wreck a train or cause any danger. For some time the Colorado and Southern has been annoyed by ties be ing placed on its track in the vicinity of Barela station. It was thought at first that a malicious intent was be hind the work, but its repetition brought the conclusion that some irre sponsible person was doing it "for fun." Sheriff Davis was notified and he de tailed Deputy Trujillo to do guard along the track where the mischief was be ing done. On Friday last Deputy Tru jillo practically caught Romero in the act. The young Mexican', who is a sheep herder, stacked a bundle of ties the size of a small house on the track. He admitted the work after being brought to the county Jail, but had 710 excuse other than that he wanted to see the engine bump- the ties. Inasmuch as the train reels off about sixty miles an hour in that locality the bumping would very likely have -been of a ser ious nature. The pilot, nine cases out of ten, would go over the ties and per mit them to get under the wheels. A derailment could not be avoided, and with the train churning the distance at the rate it does in that section the de railment would have been attended with serious consequences. SANTA FE IMPROVEMENTS. Work Soon to Begin on New Store house at Wellington. Plans and specifications have been completed for the ,improvements that the Atchison, Topeka 8e Santa Fe in tends to make to its facilities at Wel lington. Surveys are under way for the purpose of determining the exact location of the buildings it is proposed to be erected, and the expectations are that the actual work on these buildings and other improvements will be well under way by October 1. The principal structure proposed will be an immense-storehouse, with dimensions of 5 0x1 00-feet. The front of this building will be devoted to the master mechanic's force, consisting of a private office for that official and working rooms for the clerks. Back of the offices will be the main store room, where everything from a bolt to. a broom will be kept. Extending along the side of the storehouse will be. a .wide platform 200 feet in length. It was intended at first to build a separate storehouse for oil, .but this plan, has been dropped. Under the new storehouse a commo dious basement will be constructed of cement, and in tfifs the storage oil tanks will be placed. -After this storehouse has been built work will be commenced in en larging the round-house. Eight addi tional engine stalls will be put in. Brick and steel wyi be the materials used in the construction of the store house and the addition to the round house. LARGE .STRUCTURE MOVED. Old Rock Island Elevator Is Taken Intact a Quarter of a Mile. Quite an engineering feat has been accomplished in the Rock Island yards at Armourdale, near Kansas City, in moving intact a distance of about a quarter of a mile the old Rock Island grain elevator. This structure, which is of mammoth size, was purchased recently by Carrington Patton, of Illinois, and It was neces sary to movb it out of the Rock Is land yards. The work was entrusted to Contractor H. A. Kepler, -and the feature in moving the big elevator was in the fact that It was moved a distance of 1,200 feet as any house or other smaller building would be moved, with block and tackle, a pair of mules and' a windlass." It was nec essary,, of course, to usfe a stronger cable and pulleys on account of the weight of the structure, but the building was moved intact, no part of it being torn away before the "rolling" commenced. Two weeks were required to move it, and while the elevator was in mo tion a number of men worked in it putting in equipment for electrical ap pliances. When Mr. Kepler got the building to its new location it was ned essary to leave it raised a distance of 26 inches above the new foundation, which has not yet been completed. This foundation is of stone reinforced with cement, and when it is finished Mr. Kepler will superintend the lower ing of the structure on its new base. Sugar Rates Still in Air. Chicago, Sept. 25. The peace pro tocol which was signed in New York ten days ago by the eastern and gulf railroads and which was intended to end the sugar rate war is threatened with a compound' fracture. v It got through the Central Freight Associa tion all right, but it now develops that the St. Paul roads have declared that they will not be a party to any such agreement. Maybe they will change their minds when they have had a talk with the Illinois .Central -at a meeting which is to be held here to day, but at the present moment they are in no mood to acquiesce.

Train Crews Have Fine Assortment of Slang for Food. According: to Town Talk. a. San Francisco publication, water front and Barbara coast waiters could enrich their unique vocabularies to some ex tent if they visited several of the go- as-you-please hash shops where train crews between trips make onslaughts upon the chow-chow output. The names they bestow upon the various edibles that are "shoveled" into the "round house" carry the true color of their craft. The dinine tables are the "freight. dumps" and the waiter girls are "yard engines.". Ham and eggs are never heard by any other name than "ballast," and butter is a "mani fest sun," i. e., 1 perishable article. Shoving along the sugar is "sanding the right of way;" dealing -with tough steak is ."losing your overtime." "Com muters" are the roustabouts who get a twenty meal ticket per. The man witn the Katzen jammer look who is satisfied with coffee alone for break fast was in "last night's wreck." Milk is always on the.''pipe line from Mil brae," and pie is an "easy run." The latest gem was sprung last week when a switchman called to a girl, bringing in a plate of hot cakes: "Hey, kick that string of flats down this siding." L. A. Shows a Good Gain. Satisfactory results attended the operation of the Louisiana Arkansas railway during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905. The gross earnings in creased from $704,000 to $844,000, the gain amounting to 20 per cent. Ope rating expenses ana taxes were only 7 per cent greater, while net income was almost 49 per cent greater than in the previous year. The average length of road operated was 167.48. miles as compared with 147.77 miles in 1904. An extension of about 40 miles from Winfield to Jena, La.,- was added to the operated mileage during the year. C. N. W. Makes Big Money. Chicago, Sept. 25. The annual re port of the Chicago Northwestern company for the fiscal year ending June 30 shows gross earnings of $55, 745,276, net earnings $17,095,903. The increase in gross earnings, compared with the preceding year, was $2,410, 641. The increase in net earnings was $988,438. The operating expenses and taxes increased $1,422,202. Wealthy Engineer Killed. Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 25. Jack Pannell, the uncle of Joseph and Thomas Beury, prominent coal ope rators, was killed Saturday in an ac cident on the Cabin creek branch of the Chesapeake Ohio railroad. A fireman. Frank Sawyer, also lost his life. Pannell's home was at Thur mond, W. Va. He Was wealthy but served as an engineer on the railroad through love of the work. RAILROAD NOTES. J. E Hurley, general manager of the Santa Fe, is out on a trip of in spection over the western division of the road. W. J. Black, general' passenger agent of the Santa Fe. has returned from Chicago, where he spent a couple of days last week in confer ence with other officers of the road. Fay Thompson, traveling passenger agent of the Rock Island, is back 'a't his offices after an extensive trip over the lines under his jurisdiction. The directors of the Reading rail road company have declared the reg ular semiannual dividend of 2 per cent on the second preferred stock. Sharp competition with the foreign product has caused the American tin plate company to make application to the western roads for a material re duction in the rates from Chicago to the coast. They ask a reduction from 55 to 45 cents per one hundred pounds. The longest railroad route In India. from Bombay to Calcutta, is 1,401 miles in length, made up of parts of different railroads. Over this route there is one through train daily, which takes forty-five hours to make the journey. The fastest Indian train runs at a speed not greater than thirty-five miles an hour. BUTTE LOSES MILLION. Fire Destroys a Large Amount of Business Property. Butte, Mont., Sept. 25. Fire caus ing a loss estimated at about $1,000, 000 Sunday consumed the entire busi ness portion of Butte lying between the Shodair block and Renshaw alley, on the south side of West Park street. and half destroyed the public library. The fire call was turned in at 8:40. At noon, the four-story Symons' store was" a mass of flames and the public library and other places were burning simultaneously. At 1 o'clock. Mayor MacGmniss announced the fire under control. Had the blaze once crossed Main street into the old buildings on the north side of Park street, or had it not been checked at the Renshaw block, Butte would have had a $5,000,000 fire. When the alarm went in at 8:40 o'clock First Assistant Chief J. T. Shinnick and his men went to work. At the first opening smoke, thick, yel low and suffocating, belched forth, making entrance impossible. The cigar company occupied part of the ground floor and basement of the big Symons Dry Goods company's building. At once the men realized that to keep the fire confined to the basement and away from the elevator shaft was the only hope of saving the block. Three lines of hose, manned by crews who stood the smoke with su perhuman endurance, advanced into the poisonous smoke and poured their flood into the hole. Unfortunately the basement of the Symons company block was drained, and the basement being a double one, with a sub-basement beneath it, it was impossible to flood it. The men could not reach the seat of the flames, but several went through the rear sidewalk windows and held the hose as close as they could to the origin -of the smoke. Finally, with a favorable change in the -wind, which kept the smoke back temporarily, the firemen broke in three doors on the eround floor and poured the water in the direction of the elevator shaft, which roared like a mill" race. A perfect geyser of sparks and burning- shingles sped in torrents across the roofs of oth er buildings, starting flames in the Ren shaw hall and away to the Park build ing. Frpm 11 o'clock until noon the Symons company building burned free as a bonfire and the department confined its labors to saving adjacent property. The Renshaw building seemed doon ed. as did the Lewis Kins and C'ark buildings, The Miner building, the Broadway Harvard, Argyle and other buildings Tized, Netd&sT -Mothers ri i MaKe Unhappy Homes Their Condition Irritates Both Husband -and Children How Thousands of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and Made Alrs.

Anaconda was one of the first to iTol unteer and her offer was accepted. At 12:08 three hose wagons and a steamer, with full crews, accompanied by the mayor and other city officials, were placed aboard a special tram for this city. Exactly 33 minutes were consumed in making the 28 mile run to this city, and within three minutes after the train pulled Into the depot several more streams were playing on the big blaze.

Tne State Jenmal ts a member of the Associated Press and receives ths full day telegraph report of that treat news or al nidation tor exclusive aiternoon publi cation in Topeka. The news 'a received In the State Jour nal building over wires for 'its sole pur rwee. Get .your fatted whale ready. Taft Is coming home. The packers and the insurance com panies have been, or are being:, shown lip. Whose turn comes next? Topeka doesn't care .if the airship didn't fly during: the fair. Airships will be as common as automobiles in a "few years. Speaking- of carrying coals to New castle, some confidence men have been swindling the bond sellers in Wall Street. It is intimated that Tom Kelly him self may have designs on the governor's office. Now don't laush it's a serious matter. The trouble with most of these in surance officials seems to be that they forget they are handling other peo ple's money. It's an old saying that you have to die to beat an insurance company, but it is evident that you don't if you are One of its officials. The insurance investigation reveals the fact that there are a few crooked things in New York that Tammany is not directly responsible for. The next president's message will be read by somebody besides the- proof reader. There will probably be some mighty interesting stuff in it. It is alleged that a wire-tapping gang in New York has stolen $75,000 worth of electricity, but none of it was recovered when the gang was arrested. It is a remarkable incident almost a paradox that floods in the arid desert regions have cost the Santa Fe over $2,000,000 during the past year. The chief question in running a big Insurance company seems to be, hot how to protect the policy holders, but how to get away with the swag. Ought not Mr. Bryan to say a few words relative to campaign contribu tions ere he goea off and leaves the country to shift for itself for 12 long months? Judge Parker acts very much like the man who says there are no sore spots on him and then proceeds to disclose all manner of bumps and bruises on his person. The president of the National Moth ers congress says the Mormons are trying to get control of the govern ment. We -won't lie awake to worry about it though. What are some of the Republican brethren going to do about this? President Roosevelt has given Provi dence instead of the Republican party credit for our bountiful crops. Governor Deneert of Illinois says he assumes that the officials of a cer tain Illinois county will do their duty. That would be a good deal to assume bout some Kansas officials. The beef trust may raise the price of steaks on us and make us pay its fines, but it is difficult to see how it is going to make the public serve out those jail sentences that are staring it in the face. Germany and France have agreed to protect the Integrity of Morocco. It Is too bad somebody cannot be found to protect the integrity of the Sultnn of Turkey. He needs it badly enough. Senator Aldrlch, "the boss of the Uni ted States," is home from Europe. Now e will see how many Republican statesmen dare disobey the mandate of the boss and refuse to line up on the side of the railroads. The Washington Post, having heard that Kansas will raise mora corn this year than the world can eat, suggests that we send the surplus to Peoria and Louisville, where It onn be put into a form so that the world can arlnk It. The suggestion will 1 received and placed on file. Here's a problem for you to work out. Send solutions to the Puzzle Editor, State Journal. If a minor packer who violated only the inter state commerce law and Who pleaded guilty, thereby saving the government the necessity of a long and costly trial, was fined $10,000 and allowed to escape a jail sentence only because, of extenuating circumstances, what will happen to the greater offenders who persistently violated" the 'anti trust law also, robbing a suffering public of vaet- sums, and in whose cases there are no extenuating cir cumstances? AS TO RAILROAD LEGISLATION, The announcement of Senator Elk- ins, chairman of the senate interstate commerce committee, that he will himself prepare a bill for' railway reg ulation which he will'Introduce in the coming congress, shows that the rail way magnates realize that the people imperatively demand some sort of legislation for the control of the rail ways. Senator Klkins is recognized as' a representative of railroad interests. The bill that he will frame will be in tended to satisfy the public demand that "something be done," but at the same time it will not seriously inter fere with the railroads. The railroads are making a stren uous campaign against the Esch Townsend bill, but it is noticed that they are not frightened about any bill Senator Klkins may introduce. They are not making any fight on him.' The statement is made by the rail road interests that President Roose velt has not endorsed the Esch Townsend bill. This is technically true, for the president never approves a specific bill till it comes to "him for his signature. But President Roose velt has approved a certain line of action, and the Esch-Townsend bill is along that line. It is doubtful if the Esch-Townsend bill is all that it might be, but it is a step in the right direction. Here is what President Roosevelt recommended in his last message to congress: "The interstate commerce commis sion should be vested with the power, where a given rate has been chal lenged and after a full hearing found to be unreasonable, to decide, subject to judicial review, what shall be a reasonable rate to take its place; the ruling of the commission to take effect immediately and to obtain un less it is reversed by the court of re view." The last clause is important, and that is where the Esch-Townsend bill j is said to be weak. It makes special provision for the railroads to delay the operation of a new rate while the matter is pending in the courts, and it is a well known fact that such things can be dragged through the courts for years. President Roose velt's idea is to have the rate estab lished by the commission go into effect j and remain in force while the courts are deciding the matter, which will I do away with the temptation to de lay it. I At present the railroad magnates have entire control of freight rates. They can charge what they please, and discriminate against one com munity or section of the country and in favor of another. If they happen to be Interested in one city they can give it rates at less than cost, making some other community, perhaps a rival, pay enough more to make up the loss, which is a gross discrimina tion. If a public commission, made up of men experienced in rate making such men as Theodore Roosevelt would undoubtedly pick for the Job if such a commission were to be em- powered to adjust rates that were complained of, there is no reason to believe they would be unjust to the railroads and compel them to do busi ness on a losing basis.. They, would be fair to the railroads, but they would also be fair to the public, and would prevent unjust discriminations. TO MAKE MEN BETTER. This week the churches of Topeka will begin a series of evangelistic meetings, probably the greatest in the history of the city. Services will be held simultaneously in the Auditorium and in three other districts of the city. It is expected that they will arouse widespread interest, for the churches have been preparing for them for mofiths, and nearly, if not quite all, of the evangelistic denominations of To peka are united in them. Some people do not believe in such services, but how there can be any legitimate objection to any movement to make men better is difficult to see. And that is the object of all evan gelistic meetings. If they do not ac complish that they are failures. That there is need for such a movement in Topeka is shown by the two murders and the suicide which have occurred within the past forty-eight hours, to say nothing of the minor crime and sin that exists. These services will be conducted by a corps of men who have achieved fame for work along evangelistic lines. Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and other cities have been the scenes of remarkable religious awakening under their influence. It Nis not the evangelists who really count, however. It is the spirit of the people of a city tnat makes or mars a movement of this character. The object of services of this kind is to make men stop and think of the really great things of life what is worth while; to make them think of atl that comes hereafter eternity; to present to them the teachings of the savior of men and his claims upon them. These things are more power ful than anything else in making men better, for men cannot seriously con sider these, the great things of life, without doing better, whether they ac knowledge it or not. THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. What promises to be an exceedingly warm political campaign was1 opened by both parties in Ohio on Saturday. It will be one of the few Ereat po litical contests of the year, and it will undoubtedly attract more attention than any other, although dividing in terest with the municipal campaign in New York and the election of a suc cessor to Governor Douglas in Massa chusetts. The Republicans have renominated Governor Herrick in Ohio, while his Democratic opponent is John M. Paul son. Both are well known. Herrick, of course, has the advantaee of the great Republica landslide of last year, but his private character is being as sailed, while his Democratic opponent is a man 08 high personal standing. It cannot be denied that the Repub lican -party -ot Ohio is no- better than it should be. It will be on the defensive and it is suffering more or less from internal strife. The. QhlO Pemocrats. however, have not been able to show a great many angelic qualities in the past, but it has been so long sines they have been in power that the people may have forgotten about, that. The Republicans have the influence of President Roosevelt's administration behind them, and they will have the aid of some of the greatest campaign ers of the country, but the Democrats will be able to make a showing suf ficient to give the outcome at least an element of doubt. JOURNAL ENTRIES It takes only $500 of Colombian money to buy1 a quart of champagne. Colombian money seems to be worth almost as much as the confederate bills that are sold by the ream. The New York anti-Tammany re formers are still looking for a victim to run for mayor. They probably want a man by the name of Dennis. The New York Commercial prints an editorial about the Steinway grab. Wonder if it's hard to learn to play on. Looks like the czar is getting the peace conference habit. The world will have to keen its best dress on now for quite awhile. W. J. Bryan is inspecting it. "Senator Piatt is improving," savs a San Francisco paper. Most' people had an idea there was room for im provement. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. When a man is chaperoned, he is really being shadowed. Love affairs are even more danger ous to mix than drinks. In every town it is said of the pret tiest Eirl: "She has no sense." There are a good many disagreeable people; you can't afford "to let them make you disagreeable. The average person Is as careless of his health as if he were built of sole leather, vitrified brick and iron. A woman always remembers how her husband caught his cold, for she remembers that she told him so. It must be a blow to a girl by the name of Marguerite to find after marriage- she is Mrs. Mike Somebody. It is not any sign because a girl makes a good deal- over her sweet heart that she will be a devoted wife. When the warm weather lays down its work of furnishing an incentive to drink beer,, the olive arrives and takes it up. When a really good band plays a simple piece well, some people say: "That is classical music, and I don't like it." We don't see how an army officer can do half he is accused of, consider ing that he is always chaperoned by his orderly. It is said that a man never gets baclt to work properly until after his honey moon, and he has had his second quar rel with his wife. A man and his eirl can endure a great many hardships when they are courting that they aon t know are hardships until after they are mar ried. We regret that later in life, when a boy has become a man, there is no one to- excuse his meanness by saying; that he learned it all ot the grown-up. boy next door. An Irishman was running away from a battle. "Coward!" an officer said. "Id rather be a coward, five min utes, than dead all the rest of my life," the Irishman replied. An Atchison family has succeeded in getting a good cook, the first time in its history. "If there is ever a fire in the night," said the wife to her hus-. band recently, I want you to save tne cook, no matter what else perishes." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. tFrom the Chicago News. Renovating a man doesn't regenerate him. How often has the lowly banana peel given pride a hard fall. It Isn't always easy to flatter a girl who has a big brother. Incompatibility of finances is the root of many divorce cases. When a lamp stands In its own light it is time to turn it down. Two can live iust as cheaply as one after they have been made one. A philosopher is a man who thinks that possibly he was once a fooL When a woman marries a man she takes everything he has including his name.

As was to be expected, some very Interesting and amusing anecdotes of Eliee Reclus, the great geographer, are now being related by friends who were well acquainted with him and nis curious adventures. When he left France after the Coup d'Etat of 1851, he first gave lessons in London, and then, going to the united states, ne became tutor in the family of a wealthy southern planter. The daugh ter of the house took a fancy to him, and as the father had no objection to the match, her little project was dis creetlv confided to the yoiuic French man, who, nothing loth, as she added personal- charms to substantial attrac tions, entered" readily into the plan, But he made one condition, which showed his adherence to his principles and his independence of character. He would not wed the lady unless his prospective father-in-law consented to set all his slaves free, as never would he accept a dollar which had been ob tained by their labor. Argument was in vain, and as the planter had no idea of making such a sacrifice, the project fell to the eround, and the tutor had to leave the house. Soon afterward he took a negress to wife, by way of a practical protest against slavery, and his two daughters were born of this union, which was follow ed successively as the years rolled on by two more marriages.

Senator Davis of Minnesota told this one concerning Bishop Whipple, the venerable "St. John of the Frontier," who served the people long and well. In a passenger coach going into Dakota territory the bishop sat reading the morning newspapers, and in the second seat beiore him sat an infidel who was loudly proclaiming his antipathy to the Bible and everything believed by re ligious people. He said that he would dare to meet any prophet, priest or pope, in discussion, and loudly proclaimed: "If "f could meet old Bishop Whipple, I'd ask him at least one question he couldn't answer." "I am old Bishop Whipple," said the venerable apostle to the Indians, "as he dropped his newspaper, "ask me your question now." The fellow was startled, but soon re covered, and said: "Well, blshoo. as saving souls is in your line. I'd like to know if you can tell me the straight road to heaven." "That Is very easy, indeed," respond ed the bishop with his saintly smile: "Turn to the right, and go straight forward." And there was no further discussion, nor further questions propounded. Los Angeles Times. TNE EVENING STORY A Neat Job of Secret Service. One morniner in Virginia, whan Me- Clellan was threatening Richmond and it was daily expected that he would march a victorious army into the city, a young countryman driving a cow got mixed with the Union pickets. He said that he didn't know that the army was so near and asked permission to take nis cow to his home some distance back of the Union front. He was taken to the general commanding that portion of the army, where he made his entry and gave his name as John tiaraing. nemg questioned as to the dispositions of the enemy among whom he had been he proved so stupid that the general dismissed" him witn orders that he be permitted to drive his cow home. Six hours after he had departed a Jew was found on the extreme right of the Union line selling the soldiers pinchbeck jewelry and tin watches, re lieving them of their greenbacks for the worthless articles. The orders were to arrest such traders and the Jew was taken to the headquarters of the general commanding the wing, where he gave his name as Benjamin Moses. He was conducted to the rear and in formed that if he came back he would be sent through the lines to the enemy. A day or two later the commander of the Union left received an order to look out for a spy who had turned up under tne names John Harding, Benjamin Moses, and lastly Gustave Laviolette. a citizen of France traveling in America and seeking a pass to go through the lines on his way to visit relatives in Louisiana. His application had been held for information concerning him and, he had disappeared. After the re ceipt of the order, the man had been chased to a clump of houses near where, a day or two later, was fought the bat tle of Seven Pines. A guard surround ed the hamlet, the frightened people huddling in the road that passed be tween the houses. The officer charged with the arrest, not knowing the man he wanted, asked tqr him under Jus van ous aliases. If he was there no one would betray bim. The officer was puzzled to know what to do, so he sent to headquarters for orders. While he was waiting he kept the rrien of the hamlet in tha road but permitted the women to go and come as tney cnose. tne man entered the place, apparently not knowing what was trans piring. He was a mere boy and not suspected, but the officer put him with the other men. After waiting more than an hour an order came which the officer proceeded to obey. He compelled the men to stand as near together as possi ble and drew his soldiers up in a firing line. Then ha told them that if they would not give up the spy he would shoot them all down together. Of course this was a bluff, but it drew forth a re sponse. The youngster who had enter ed the place passionately, begged that his comrades be spared, avowing him self to be the spy. The youngster was taken to the headquarters of the division in whose lines he was captured. "So you're the person who has been masquerading as Jew, Frenchman and other individuals, gathering informa tion? "Yes. general." "You're old enough to know that the punishment for spying is death, aren't you?' "Yes. general."' "Well, I wish you hadn't been caught In my lines. It's no fun for me to hang a boy like you." To this the youngster made no reply and the general ordered that he be taken away and kept under guard tin called for. Then the general reported the capture to his superior and await ed instructions. An order came to try the spy by drumhead court martial and execute him. The officer of the day was intrusted with the duty, and, the forms having been gone through with, the general looked for notification that the dis agreeable work had been done. While he waited the officer of the day rode up to his tent and dismounted. "Ts it all over?" "No, general. The boy says he's a girl.". "A irirl'." "Yes, and I thought you'd prefer to test the truth of the claim before exe cuting him. "Do so. There are some women in camo. You'll find several in the hos pitals." The officer withdrew and in half an hour returned with the information that the claim had been proved. "Send her to me," the general or dered. The girl, still in boy's clothes, was marched to the general. She had gone through a terrible ordeal and, not yet knowing what was going to be done with her, was white as a sheet. "How has a girl like you had the ability to play so many different char acters?" asked the officer. "I haven't," said the girl. "The man who did so came among us at our place near Seven "lnes ana was surrounded by your men. While the officer was waiting for orders the spy asked if any woman would put on men's clothes and be ready to per sonate him. I consented, stole away and came back as a boy. The real spy was left behind when 1 was brought away." While the girl .was telling her story the sound of artillery was heard. It proved to be the guns of Stonewall Jackson, whom Lee had sent to turn McClellan's right wing.

5 TilEY HAVE A YELL Herbalists IV ill Try One on Topeka. 1 THE TOPEJLA STATE JO URN, IK MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1P05. ail Dr. Schaeffer Teaches It to the Children. IS DIFFERENT -KOW. The Old Puritan Methods Are Forgotten. Preparations Made for Starting the Big KeviTal. 'Say, my chum, have you seen -"Second Timothy two fifteen? ''First Thessalonians five twenty two "Will tell you exactly what to do." If you hear your small brother or eister come home with this yell, or perhaps It will be your eon or daughter, don't be astonished and with a gasp ask them where they got it. For it's all right. They heard it at the young people's meeting at the First Methodist church Sunday afternoon. It's the yell which Rev. C. T. Schaeffer, young peo ple's evangelist, gave them and which he expects to teach them at the special meeting which is being held this after noon, at 4:15 in the First Methodist church. Mr. Schaeffer is the advance representative o Dr. J. Wilbur Chap man who will be in charge of a series of revival meetings which he will in augurate in Topeka Thursday. Times have changed since the Puritans came over to America in the Mayflower. Re ligion then was a cold austere aftair. It was to be handled at a distance. You could scarcely conceive of an early Puri tan strolling down the street and chant ing out this yell. It would havo been as much as his life was worth to try it. Times have changed and so has relig ion. People accept these innovations passively nowadays or at the most with a questioning look and the uplift of an eyebrow. About BOO young folks from 16 down to the little tot of four and five were told a few things about singing. Mr. Schaef fer believes in vim, especially in sing ing. He has an abundance cj it him eelf and he tried to inBtill some into the singing of the 500 who listened to his words of encouragement Sunday after noon as they essayed to sing. "Open your mouth," said he, lining out a hymn. 'I can't get at your hearts unless you open up your hearts." "Let a little sunshine in, let a little sunshine in, clear the darkened win dows, open wide the door, let a little sunshine in," sang the sweet voices of the children. "Open up that door, wide. Don t close it quickly. Let the door swing open and let the sunshine search every corner. Now hold on to that door and keep it open and don't sing the next word un til you see mv hand drop," said the evangelist. The instruction was care fully observed. "Some of you are not singing, he continued. "If you can't sing you must be tongue-tied. Kveryone except a tongue-tied person can sing. But if you're tongue-tied you can clap your hands, that's singing in a way. So real ly unless you're .tongue-tied and para lyzed you can sing. We'll excuse you if vou are both tongue-tied and paralyz ed."" With a word of encouragement here "'and a little urging there the audience was made to respond until they surpris ed even themselves. It would have ta ken a stone donkey to refuse after all the efforts which Mr. Schaeffer put forth The girlish sopranos mingled with the deeper tones of the boys and song after song was sting. Then with this preface the evangelist made an illustra ted talk on "Habits." He secured one of the bovs in the audience to assist him and winding the youngster up in threads and then finally with larger cords and finally rope and later a chain he endeavored to show the powerful binding power which habits have after they are once In the ascendancy.' The boy could with ease break the threads but the rope and chain mastered him. "That's just the way with habits," said Mr. Schaeffer. "The first cigarette that you smoke, the first lie that you tell, are these threads but if you continue they will become Just like this rope and this chain and you will be powerless to shake them off. Christ, however, can strike them off, quicker than I can tell you about it. "I want all of you to attend these meetings in the afternoon here this coming week. And I want to have you bring somebody with you. On Monday afternoon I am going to talk on the 'Cup of Life,' Tuesday after noon on the 'Wordless Book,' and on Wednesday on 'Kites.'

A look of disgust settled down upon the boys as they answeerd with a very superior air that they didn't. "We have got somewhat acquaint ed and we know each other in a way," said Mr. Schaeffer, "but we don't know each other real well. How many of you know my name? Raise your hands. Well, that's good. Now what is it?" "Schaeffer," cried the boys and girls. "Well, is that all? That's a pretty short name. Mr. Schaeffer? Well that's better, but that isn't, enough. Reverend? Yes, that's good, but what more?" Then one small boy, emboldened by the failure of the balance, cried out triumphantly, "Doctor." He retired crestfallen when the an swer was returned. "No, that isn't it, though I wish it were. It's a nice thing to have. No, it isn't that. Rev. C. T. Shaeffer? Well, yes. that is quite good.

"I want everyone of you to call ouf your name to me when I, drop this handkerchief." There was a'.ba.'rllhjr unison that descried de scription.

The people of Norton are geing to pull for the orphans' asylum which the Odd Fellows of Kansas are con templating erecting. It is claimed that town ranks third in membership. No town In the north half of Kansas has grown more rapidly in the last year than has Norton. More than 100 business houses and residences will be completed this year in the town before the close of 1905. To the credit of her people, the town don't have any drones, her people pull together. Be sides Norton can offer one of the most beautiful tracts of land on an emi nence overlooking- the famous Prairie Dog valley for miles.- Just watch Nor ton going for this improvement as soon as the Odd Fellows ef Kansas have made up their minds of what they want. The town antf location is a de sirable one. Rev. A. T. Hall, one of the pioneer settlers of Rawlins county, has per formed 157 marriage services since he settled In that county. It is hoped that the interested parties all had fat pocketbooks, and that Elder Hall re ceived a fee of 125 and $50 for each event, for he is kind and deserving. In the Atwood Pioneer of May 20, 18S0, published by A. S. Thome, this item appears: The first child born in Atwood is announoed. The same item goes on to say that the Presbyterians settling in Rawljns, Th.omas and ad joining counties are respectfully xe- i quested to send lheeditoi-th.eir: names I and locations.-, and. "h, will take pleas ure In visiting them. In those days there 'were more buffaloes in Rawlins county than settlers, and'a goodly number of Indians, The PJaindealer says the people of Almena can. get more free advice in one day from their neighbors than they can use in six months' time. This will be a hard blow on the people of Almena, who have generally known enough to attend to their own affairs. ft. W. Trimble, ex-county attorney, B. R. Reed, ex-county clerk, S. T. Wiggins, ex-restater. of deeds. and George W. Sloan, ex-county commis sioner, have all held offices In Sheridan county, but are now thriving business men of Selden. The Oberlin Times asks this leading question: "To whom does the credit belong for closing the joints in Ober lin, the county attorney, the Christian women, the sheriff or the mayor?" Answers are coming in fast, "I'll gie it ui." L- C. Ahlborn, president of the Ken sington National bank, says his total footings the last week in August was $100,000 greater than in March, 1905. Jennings, a Decatur county town of about 400 population, supports two newspapers, the last one to start up being The Success, published and ed ited gy Julian E. DuvalU W. R, Fisher, who everybody In Holton and the First congressional district will remember for having cut considerable of a swath in political matters, is making money in his in vestments in both Norton and Raw lins counties. He recently had one of the largest and most successful sales on his ranch near Almena ever held in Norton county. The ranch contains 600 acres, situated on Prairie Dog creek. He' was offered $21,000 for it, but his price is $24,000. He will raise over 600 tons of alfalfa this year. He has recently sold two sections of Rawlins county land at advanced prices for wrhich he paid for it. He may conclude to make Norton county his permanent home, and such being the case he will be a political factor as well as farmer. A petition soliciting funds for the Rawlins county old settlers picnic, October 4, to be Held in Atwood, was out about an hour and raised over $200. Six of the business men sub scribed $150 of it. This will In a manner tell the story of the prosperity of Atwood. The old settlers' picnics in Rawlins county never lag, but grow stronger each year, and this one promises to be the best of them all. A good time, an excellent dinner, plenty of reminiscences, and fun for all. is anticipated and every prepara tion is being made to fulfill an ex pectations. This year a harvest jubi lee will be attached to the old settlers' meeting, and prizes will be given for best displays of farm cereals. Raw lins county was organized in 1881. W. M. Shirley was the first county clerk; he is the present probate judge. The Hill City Reveille of last week had three full page advertisements, besides enough smaller ones to take up several more pages. Good crops in Graham county,, and abundant prosperity to all .classes of her people, make the newspaper work first class as well. The Norton Ice and Cold Storage company have been shipping their product by the car load. Oberlin, Norcatur and Smith Center each re ceived a car load last week. At a meeting of old settlers of Phil lips county, in Kirwin, last week, three persons reported "who were born In that county, as follows: Frank But ler. Februarv 6,- 1873: Mrs. Jennie Keesie, February 28, 1873, and Mrs. Fannie Cushman, March 8, 1874. The enterprising business men of Natoma' occupy- a full page of the Plainville Gazette every week.

Last week's Hoxie Sentinel was printed on better paper than is usually the case with the short grass pub lications., Mclvor must be making it all right financially. The News, which usually gets all that is worth printing, says that the aggregate amount expended on new buildings In Norton this year will nearly reach the $150,000 mark. Nor does that paper figure in the expense for the improvements on the old buildings. The News says: "The buildings have been erected because necessity- demanded them, and that necessity was created by bursting wheat bins and tremendous corn fields where the ears start from the corn stalks three feet from mother earth and now touch the ground." Among other good things the town of Norton is after, is a sash and door factory and an alfalfa meal plant, both of which appear to be assured. There has never been a time when everything was bo prosperous in Norton as they are now. The Mankato Advocate kicks on the rural telephone. That paper lost a good item, and the kick follows of course: "Whenever we try to use the rural tele phone lines it is usually impossible on account of the gabble of parties visiting by the hour. We were trying to get a news item, and tried several times, but all we could hear sounded like geese on St. Valentine's day." .n Atwood young lady who is in posi tion to know what she is talking about, writes: h Politicians are very scarce, seldom see one on the streets of At wood; in fact Rawlins county farmers are altogether too prosperously employr ed 1o-take time for any notice whatever of politics, -Office-seekers are therefore necessarily scarce." If other parts of the Sixth district could say as much, how much better off it would be. C. F. Shimeall Son, for many years residents of Norton, are going into the wholesale telephone- and electrical sup ply bouse in Kansas City, of which they are the principal stockholders. The head of the firm was a candidate for the leg islative 'nomination" ttom Norton county last year. A meeting of puslness men of Colby has been held, and the preliminary work commenced for the building of a court house for Thomas county. The unsight ly building which has been called court house for many years has served its purpose, and Colby and Thomas county are after a building which will be a credit; to town and county.

TOO HOT FOR FOOTBALL But Washburn and High School Play ed Just the Same. Sweltering in the hot afternoon sun,' with their heavy jerseys and padded clothes oozing perspiration, the grid iron representatives of Washburn and the Topeka high school opened the season of football with a game on Washburn field Saturday, in the pres ence of a crowd of about 300 specta tors, the final score being 29 to 0 in favor of the big boys of the college. Beef and experience were entirely too muoh for the plucky youngsters representing the orange and black, and in the first half, which consumed about 15 minutes of actual play, the varsity piled up a score of 23, The second half was more like a football game. Washburn put prac tically its entire second team in the field, and the high school gave this bunch a very lively argument, holding them down to a single touchdown in about ten minutes of play. It was exhausting business, and the. players were glad to call for time -to rest after every two or three scrim mages. This strung out the game to considerable length. Considering the extreme heat, and the fact that this was the first game of the season, the play was quite fast. Jn the first half, as might have been expected, the high' schogl was .power less against the 'varsity squad," and it also had some very bad luck in hand ling a couple of-the Washburn kick offs,, which resulted in Washburn get ting the ball, close, to the high school goal. Washburn's interference was a minus quantity, but whenever Captain Hill os Williams, the big tackles, were given the ball for a line plunge, they went through for huge gains. Harold Tiee handled. the ball well at quarter, and White at left half, Smiley at right and Page' at full did some effective In dividual work. Smiley and Piatt were the only Washburn men who played' in both halves. Smiley was at quarter in the second half, and drd excellent work. Smiley and Tice will doubtless do the quarterback work this year, a? both are eligible. For the high school the work of Reed 'at halfback, Jennings at half. and Smith at end were the conspicu ous features; A little colored boy named Cary went into the game in the second half, and did some excel lent tackling while playing fullback on defense. On the whole, the high school boysi gave a good account of themselves. Pitted against the Wash burn second team, they would make a mighty interesting game. The two teams would be about equal in weight, and they ought to be given a chance to fight it out. The officials, R. B. Stewart and John Fleishman, did their part well, and there was no sign of dissatisfac-i tion. The high school kicked off. Wash burn fumbled on the two opening scrimmages and punted, recovering the ball on the high school 25 yard line. Washburn pushed the ball to the goal line, and lost It on another fumble. The high school punted to the center. Long runs by Tice and White carried the ball quickly back, and Williams made the first touch down for the college, and kicked goal. Washburn kicked off. The high school had an atack of stage fright, and let the ball roil clear to the goal line, everybody apparently being afraid to pick it up. The teams lined up. a few yards from the high school goal, and the high school s attempt to punt was blocked.- Williams made another touchdown on the second scrimmage, and kicked another goal. The high school kicked off, and four or five long end runs enabled White to make the third touchdown very quickly. Goal was missed. Washburn kicked off. Again the high school boys shied at the ball, but managed to get it back 10 yards from their goat line. Reed round a hole in the Washburn line, and gained 10 yards the only high school gain of that half. The high school then lost the bail on downs. Page made the next touchdown for Washburn, and time was called. In the second half the ball was kept in high school territory the whole time, but the high school was able to make good gains through the Wash burn line. The ball changed hands on downs frequently, both sides seeming to be afraid to' punt. Washburn man aged to score a touchdown near the end of the half.

0 THE TOPEKA STATE, JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, J 005. KILLED HIS WIFE. (Continued from Page One.) father-in-law, Getty, to examine the building and see that it -was closed for the night. A few minutes later a man came running to his house and an nounced that Getty had been killed by Music. 1 aynor said that Musick was not a quarrelsome man. but that he often resented the ofliciousness of Mr. Getty who frequently presumed upon his re lation to Raynor to give orders to Raynor's employes, and especially Mu sick. He said that the normal condi tion of Musick was harmlessly drunk; and that he had discharged Musick several times for neglecting his duty while drunk. Raynor was much af fected by the circumstance, as his wife, the daughter of Getty, is very sick. George Shonkweiler, the only eye witness to the killing, was the prin cipal witness. His testimony, in sub stance, was as follows: "When Raynor told Getty to go down to the house, he asked me to go with him. We went down and Getty opened the door. It seemed to be propped with a chair inside, but was easily opened and we walked in. We went through the first room into the second, where a light was burning. Musick was lying on a bed and he raised up and said, 'Getty, what are you doing in here?' and Getty said, 'I don't know but I have got a right to come in here.'- Then Mlisicksat up and raised the revolver from some where and said. 'By I don't know that you have.' I tried to jump and grab the gun but I was too late. "At the crack of the gun Mr. Getty fell and I grabbed the barrel of the gun just back of the sight with my right hand and the stock with my left hand. I said, 'What is the matter with you. Music? Don't you know me?' He answered, 'Yes. George, I know you.' Then I told him to let go of the un and he said he wouldn't do it, and we struggled around and he hung onto the gun till we got to the front door. The door was not locked, and I opened it with my foot and hol lered at a man who was going by. I told him to go tell Frank Raynor. Then Musick let go of the gun and said, 'George. I know I done wrong. Turn the gun on me.' And I said, Musick. vou are a fool: I won't do anything of the sort, but don't you leave this house.' He promised that he wouldn't and went back to the bed in the other room." The inquest will be resumed thts afternoon. Usual Coroner's Verdict! The coroner's inquest held at Ho gan's undertaking establishment was closed this afternoon with a statement by Dr. H. H. Keith, who assisted in an aiitopsv. Dr. Keith found that the 4 5 calibre" bullet which had killed Chris Getty had split as it entered the skull, the larger part being imbedded in the rear of the skull, and a smaller piece tearing the scalp and lodging in the ceiling of the room. The jury found that Getty came to his death as the result of a revolver shot fired by Henry Musick. Musick was formally arrested for murder after the inquest upon a compiaint sworn out by a son if Chris Getty. PLACE FOR McRIRAHAX. May Be State Agent to Find Homes for. Homeless. M. F. McKirahan, of Topeka, will in all probability get the appointment of state agent to find homes and provide for the welfare of boys and girls on their release from the state reform schools, and for the orphans when dis missed from the Sdldiers' Orphans' home at Atchison. Mr. McKirahan is at present acting as agent for the Soldiers' Orphans" home, but the plan under consideration by the state board of control is to consolidate the $400 allowed to the Orphans' home and the $400 allowed to-the Boys' Re form school, and use the entire $800 for the employment of one agent to repre sent all three schools. The last legislature made no appropri ation to care for the girls who are re leased from the Beloit reformatory, and many of these unfortunate girls are turned adrift with no means of protec tion, and soon return to evil ways. It will be easy, however, for the agent representing one institution to also rep resent the others, for he can fill more places on each trip with no more diffi culty than at present, and without in creased expense. The laws relating to the care of boys and girls released from the industrial schools has been frequently changed. At one time the legislature appropriated $2,000 to the Kansas Children's Hoine society for the purpose of paying the expense of looking after the children as they come out of the institutions, but this appropriation has been overlooked for several years. There was also a law providing that the county superintendents of the vari ous counties should be in charge of dis charged inmates of state institutions, but this law has been repealed. In many of the western states, an agent is employed whose business it is to look after the children who come out of the institutions, and the object of the Kansas board of control is to create a similar iob.

Second Largest Electrionl Plant In the Country Going Up. Durango. Colo., Sept. 23. By far the largest electrical power plant in Colorado and probably the second largest in the country is now being; erected near this city. It will be ca pable of producing 75,000 horse power when running at capacity and will also have the distinction of producing power more cheaply than any other similar plant in the world, with the single exception of that at Niagara rails. Like the immense Niagara plant, water under heavy pressure will be utilized, a large part of the Animas river and Cascade creek being diverted for miles through iron pipes until the proper fall is obtained. Thus far 2,760 feet of pipe line has been built extending from a reservoir in Cascade creek to the power plant, with a water pressure at the latter point of 435 pounds to the square inch and a fall of 1,000 feet. This pipe is 44 inches in diameter at the head gate and 34 inches at the plant, and has been tested to 650 pounds to the square inch. The entire pipe line weighs 637.000 pounds, and sqme of the Individual sections as much as 12,000 each. The water for the main reservoir will for the present be entirely taken rrom Cascade creek, twelve miles from the power plant. From this pofnt the creek is diverted through a box flume 6x6 feet in size three and a half miles to the main storage reservoir, which will have a capac ity, when completed, of 3,561,000,000 cubic feet of water. The lake will cover 200 acres and will be 400 feet deep. It is the company's intention to also tap the Animas river and run a tun nel eight by ten feet in size five miles through the mountains, thereby largely increasing the water supply whenever made necessary by the demand for power. The great plant. each of whose dynamos are capable of developing 4.00 horse power, will require three years for its completion, though a cer tain amount of power will be available within a few months for the use of the mines and mills in this vicinity. It is estimated that the enterprise will be able to furnish power for every industry within a hundred and fifty miles of Durango at a price consider ably be'ow that of any method now in use. Its completion will be hailed with delight by the entire district. WAS KICKED DOWN STAIRS. Woman Attacked Hnd a Protector to Mr. McGuire's Sorrow.

There will be no big college football game in Topeka next Thanksgiving day. Washburn has signed a contract to play Colorado college at Colorado Springs on that day. This will leave the field open for the Topeka high school to book its big game for Topeka on Thanksgiving, and arrangements will probably be made for a contest with one of the Kansas City high schools, or with the Washburn second team. Aside from the Colorado trip, which includes games with Cokwado universi ty on November 18.

All of the 'men so far assigned to the table are eligible for Chicago conference games, l ne- men who are eligible for all games will be given preference on the training table, and Freshmen will probably be assigned only in preparation for games in which they are eligible.

MACHINE FOR THE EMPRESS. President Roosevelt's Gift 'to Wife of the Mikado.. Washington. Sept. 25. President Koose velt will present the Empress of Japan with a sewing machine in recognition of the courtesies extended Miss Alice Roose velt during her recent visit to Japan. The selection of a sewing machine as a gift came about rom a conversation Miss Roosevelt had with the empress. The lat ter expressed a desire to have an American sewing machine and Miss Roosevelt com municated the wish to her father, who im mediately gave the order.. The machine probably is the most costly that has ever been turned out of any fac tory. Every part of it where there is no friction is gold plated. On one end of the machine, attached to the gold plated iron work is the American and Japanese coat of arms. Underneath the coat of arms of the two countries in Japanese .characters is the date and 'then follows the reason for the presentation. From the time that the 'machine was started until it reached its final test in the operating room the utmost care and secrecy was maintained,' and none but the most trusted employes were allowed- to do any part of the work upon Jt.

It Is Charged Against. Heads of Manu r factnriitg oiH5criifi. New York, Sept: '25.After eight months of car,eful. preparation, the Unit ed States district attorney of this dis trict will, according to reliable authori ty, cause the arrest 'bf feleveu heads of the manufacturing r' and contracting concerns. of this city on warrants charg ing them with: having conspired, through the medium of an employers' association, to violate the contract labor law by the importation of foreign work men. The penalty of conviction ia a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000. or imprisonment for not more than two years. It is understood that the department of commerce and labor is directing the prosecution and has, through its own agents, prepared the case against the accused. This has involved many months of investigation and also the keeping since January last of four men English tile setters, at Ellis island. It is upon the evidence of these four men, backed byy an array of corroborative depositions, that ther government chief ly relies. The evidence in the case goes back'to the lockout by the Tile," Grate and Man tel association, an employers' organiza tion, of the members of the Mosaic and Encaustic Tile Layers and Helpers of New York and vicinity, on August 6, of last year. To make thet lockout a suc cess, it., is charged, the --mployers' -.a si sociation. sent one of its number to England',and caused adyertiserr ents. to appear, in papers in England and Ger many offering the masons $5 per day for eight hours' labor in the TJnited States.

Two weeks after :the men' were Im ported, the lockout being a success, it is alleged that the accused caused thf English workmen to; be discharged, on the ground that, they were not familiar with American, tools or the method of working in this, county, and were, there fore, useless. Some of these men got home as best they could, but four of them -carried their grievances to agents of ,the department of commerce and labor and rendered Information, on which an investigation was based.

Another Discovery Made in Connec tion With, the Equitable. New York, Sept. 25. Chairman Morton of the Equitable Life Assur ance society, who quietly has been in vestigating all the different phases of the company's business, was much an noyed when he reached the Cafe Savarin in the course of his inquiry. He discovered that, without his know ing it, the Equitable has been run ning the saloon. There was a time when such news would have shocked the temperance members of the'So'cIetyPbecause when it was started by the late Henry B. Hyde his greatest assistance came from the Rev. Mr. Alexander, who was a Presbyterian minister. For many years the Equitable would not insure the life of a person known to be "a drinking man." But today, under the wing of a "holding company," composed of Equitable men, the society actually is running a saloon. Mr.. Morton recently dismissed Thomas D. Jordan, comptroller of the Equitable, "for insubordination" be cause he would not tell him for what purpose the mysterious loan of $685, 000 was used. Today the chairman, who thought he had eliminated Jor dan from, all financial connections with the Equitable, found that he still was president of the Cafe Savarin company, and as such was responsi ble for all the profits of that concern. According to the contract madi with the Savarin, the Equitable gets all the profits as rent for the spacious ground floor on the south side of its big home building at 120 Broadway. Mr. Morton was asked today: "What were the profits of the Equit able's saloon for the year ending June 1, 1905?" "I know what you are driving at," said the Equitable's new head, "but I'm not going to make any statement about the Cafe Savarin until I ascer tain all the facts. I am hard at work now. I don't understand it all myself yet." Besides the ex-comptroller, other directors of the Cafe Savarin are James F. Wilson, George V. Turner, secretary to General Fitzgerald, whose name was used in the $700,000 loan through the Mercantile Trust com pany, and Louis M.' Bailey, all con nected with the Equitable. K. C. RAILWAY SUED.

Pressure was continued in stocks although the volume of selling was very small. New Haven lost 2 points. Delaware and Hudson 1 points and Northern Pa cific, Northwestern, Mexican Central Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Rubber 1 point. The market gave evidence of less tension during the afternoon, prices recovering gradually. Southern Pacific made a full recovery, but in no instance was the rally more than fractional.

In the parlor stood a handsome mahogany cased piano. In the upper room a young man was practicing .on a cornet. Every strong tone trom the cornet struck a sympathetic note in the piano, that was as clear and distinct as the finger touch the duration of the tone was fully twenty seconds. It was A KIMBALL PIANO In no other make of piano can this wonderful sympathetic and Vibratory tone be found. Let us impress on you another fact well Worth remembering there is many a dead-in-the-case piano sold tn Topeka for as much and even more money than we ask you for a Kimball. We most cordially invite everybody to call and examine the Kimball piano, whether you desire to purchase now or not.

Work is to be commenced at once on the repairs on the bridge across Soldier creek on Kansas avenue and it Is expected that the bridge will be in shape for traffic by Saturday. Under Sheriff John Lucas arrested John Wahl late Saturday evening near Vinewood park where he was at- tempting to stop the work of a gang of men engaged in work on the road. WTahl is a man about 50 who lives be tween Fifth-- and Sixth on Chandler street, fie will be tried on an in sanity charge tomorrow. There were about a half dozen cases tried in the city court and the ma jority of them were civil suits where the sums involved amounted to but small amounts. The county treasurer's office is closed today and will remain closed until the first of the month while the treasurer and county commissioners audit the books. The city board of health meets this evening in its regular monthly session. I. T. Fletcher will erect a $600 dwelling at 1014 Monroe street. The patrol barn at police headquar ters will have a new tar roof. The council committee on public buildings will order the improvement. The streets and walks committee of the city council will meet Friday evening. M. M. Hale, city treasurer, is a sick man. Mr. Hale went to Excelsior Springs to take the waters several weeks ago, but instead of doing him any good the effect of the water upon his system rendered him worse than ever". The Ministerial union met this morning. Nothing of interest aside from the finances of the union came up for action. While heating tar in a kettle work men who are constructing the bttulithic walks and drives about the state house got the kettle overheated. alarm of fire was turned in and the wagons from No. 2 station answered the call. The fire was put out without any damage. The alarm was sounded at 1:44 p. m. The gas and electric lights commit tee of the city council will meet Fri day evening at 8 o'clock. The pur chase of an enclosed system of arc lights for the city, the sale of the electric light plant and the appoint ment of an electrical inspector will be considered. Councilman Hughes said with regard to the sale of the plant: "I don't believe that we have any statutory right to sell the plant and I don't believe 1hat we can do it." It's one thing certain the citizens of To peka won't stand for the sale and will repudiate any attempt of that kind on the part of the city council. On Saturday. September the 30th, from 12 o'clock in the morning until 3 in the afternoon everything at Vine wood park will be thrown open free of charge to the public. All of the at tractions, boating-, theater, merry-go-around and tisrure eight will be abso lutely free. Fireworks at night and boat races and other sports for that evening will be given.

C, Klingaman's drug store Saturday evening and reminded himself that he had been sent for something. The boy clerk who waited on him tried to re mind him of the commodity which he wanted and Halford finally convinced nimseir tnat lie wanted tartar emetic which he called for and received. The truth of the matter was that he want ed cream of tartar and he did not dis cover his mistake until he had treated himself to a liberal dose of his pur cnase. heasicitness would have a pleasm-able sensation by comparison. The result of the mistake was not serious excepting to the temper of Mr. Halford who straightway wended himself to the office of the county at torney and swore out a warrant charging Mr. Klingaman with sellin; arugs in packages wtftout proper labels. Tartar emetic not "being a poison there lsr not a law providing that a label must be placed on the package. The case will probably be dismissed as soon as the taste of the drug wears away and Mr. Halford able to eat a square meal or two. STILL SENDING IX BONDS. Treasury Kxmniners Will More on Tuesday. Approve Tuesday the state board of treasury examiners will hold another meeting for the purpose of approving another batch of securities offered by the bankers of the state as surety for the state deposits under the new depository law. State Treasurer Kelly, secretary of the board, said today: "Nearly all the banks have sent in their bonds, but it will take some time to finish their approval. The proceedings leading up"lo their issuance have to be inspected by the attorney general." The final limit for. the filing of securi ties does not run until next Friday, and the board will probably not hold its final session for the approval of bonds until that date. Those Auto Races. To the Editor of the State Journal. Judging from your article in the Sat urday Evening State Journal, there seems to have been a misunderstanding concerning the participants in the auto races which occurred yesterday. The assertion that these races were "those which were scheduled to take place dur ing the Kansas State fair," naturally led many people to go out expecting to see those Topeka automobilists run who were to do so in- the state fair races. As a matter of fact, the Topeka Auto mobile club had nothing whatever to do with yesterday's races, which were, on the contrary, under the sole direction of the two Kansas City gentlemen with their 24 horse power Pope Toledo and 10 hoise power Ford cars. It was never the intention of the Topeka Automobile club as an organization, or any of its drivers as individuals to enter the Sun day race, and we regret very much that the public was misled in their under standing of this fact. Respectfully, H. E. LYMAN. KELLY DENIES IT ALL. Didn't Say He Would Support Gover nor Hoch, He Says. Speaking of the alleged interview from Wichita in the Sunday morning paper, to the effect that he would sup port Governor Hoch for a second term. State Treasurer Kelly said today: "I gave out no interview; that was made up by somebody. I don't know who I will support for governor; I have not promised to support Hoch or anybody else. I may support Hoch when the time comes; that is some thing about which I have not made up my mind." Kansas Veteran Missing. Denver, Sept. 25. B. C.

Joy and Sorrow Attend Him on His Pilgrimage, The-fact that they tried to resurrect a man hung in Texas the other week with my Pilgrim Pain Alleviator and failed of" success should not prejudice the public against it. It will do, all that can ie expected of mortal medicine and a little more, but it cannot restore the dead. r'Take it for all kinds of pains and siches. Takei-it when your inother-m-lawhas come to iun the house and, worked you out of it. i Take it when ambishun is gone and hope shattered. j,Take It when you Slave loved and lost and no longer believe in womankind. Take it in cold weather to warm you up, and iii warm weather to cool you off. Take it when the world is smllln' and gay, and take it when your cow has jest died of the holler-horn and you have got to eat your puddin without milk. Take it first and last and -all the time under all circumstances, but take it here on earth before you die. I was makin' my gentle way to'rds the enterprisin' town of -Taller Jack vhen I came across a human critter seated by the roadside with tears in his eyes and sorrer gnawm" at his heart, and follerin' the goodness of my heart I stopped my outfit and said: "Feller mortal, why this sadness? Hast the huckleberry season passed without profit to thee?" "Alas, the blow has' fell!" he answer ed as he wept some more. "And what was the' blow?" "My wife has scooted and gone. She was sleepin', the sleep of innercence by my side at midnight last night, but when I awoke this mornln' she was no longer to be founcU She has can- i tered off and left me to die of a broken i heart." "t j 'Tis the Oklahoma; way, feller mortal and you must hot complain. Away yander down the cross-roads me-! thinks 1 see a woman sittitt on atone. I'll drive down and have a talk, with her. Meanwhile, sip of this Alleviator and cheer up your droopin' speerltsy' When I drawed nigh the female 1 saw that she was also sorrerin' and dejected, and when I inquired as to the cause she replied:.: "My old man has scooted and I'm left alone in this sad world." "What started him off?" "Nothin' tall. We had a leetle dis pute and I bent the small of his back across the edge of the table that's all." "And will he come -not back?" "Neveft. agin. He will no longer be my oak and lemme twine about him. Hast any kind of cold plzen in thy out fit, that I may take a dose and get shet of this sadness?'' "Try this Pain Alleviator first, ma'am. It cheers but does not ine briate. It soothes without makin' the hair curl. It brings hopes and new resolves and lifts the heels off the ground." She Imbibed almost half the con tents of a bottle, and in five minutes her tears had ceased to fall and she was smilln'. "What's the next step?" she asks as she gets un and gives a little skirt dance. "Get up here and drive back with me. You have lost a man but l found a better one for you." "Do you mean lt stranger?" "I do." "Is he sighin' to marry agin'?" "He will be by -tire time we get back thar." r j--.,. We found the man. on his feet and darcin about, ana ne welcomed the fe male with a smilo if- anticipashun. When it became known., to them that one's wife had scopted and the other's husband had sloped off they looked at each other and, grinned. "Shall it be?" says I. "I'm wlllinV' save the man. "So'm 1." says the woman. "Then Jine hands. Whosoever I have hitched together let no human critter try to put asunder. Now go and be harps'." They went off with hearts full of glee and their confidence in humanity com pletely restored, and I watched them with a full heart as they departed. I had no legal right to marry -'em, but under the circumstances I acted as I thought for the best. In buildin' up a new and great commonwealth in the great west you can't, alius pause and look around for a- preacher to hitch two fond hearts together. Two miles further on I come across a crowd of people in a grove and stop ped to see what was goin' on and in hopes to make a .sale of a few bottles of the Alleviator.

I finally man aged to regain my wagon and drive off, but not until some one had kicked mv dog and some one else stolen six bottles of the Alleviator.. -Thus-it is that he who would make peace be tween men is brought low as his re ward. My reception when I reached the town of Yaller Jack at last was all that could be hoped fur. They didn't send twelve leele maidens dressed in white out to strew flowers in my path, but the mayor stood on ,the court house steps and whistled' "See the Conkerin' Hero Comes," and others throwed up thar hats and gave me cheers. They had heard of Pilgrim Joe and his celebrated Alleviator, and they also knowed that I took tin-types at ten cents a take. I had skassly got settled at the hotel when a benevolent and benign lookin' old man, who said he was at Yaller Jack in the interests of the Christian religion, called to see me. We had talked fur awhile on the goodness and badness df the world when he drawed a number, of coins from his pocket and said: "In travelin' around as you do you have got the best kind of a chance to vnrk these off on the public, and I kin furnish-, you ail you wantat forty cents on the dollar." "But they are counterfeits?" I re plied. "Of course they are, but what of that? Hain't you takin' keer of num ber one?" "Not to the extent of passin" the queer, old man. I'll enter my hoss in a race, my dog in a fight or sit in a game of poker and bluff my hardest, but I ain't passin' bogus money on my truetin' feller mortals." "Then you are a fool!" says he with considerable indignation. "Then you. ain't half as benign and benevolent as I thought you to be. In fact, you are an old sheep; in wolf's clothing!" He called me a liar and I bowed him out of the room with gentleness, but with a certain firmness, and an hour later he had his revenge. .He induced a woman who was built on liberal and corpulent lines, and who was the widder of three or four different men, to claim that I was her long lost hus band, and to try to precipitate herself into my arms, and when I objected he bey- 603 of Pattern and Dress Heits Special Showing of Street Hats September 28th and 29th, 1905.

They weaken my confidence in my feller critters and make me feel that the world is getting worser instead of bet ter. (Copyright, 1905, by R. B. Mc Clure.) .Automobile Farming. -A -new and special type of automo bile has recently been put on the marr ket in Scotland which is designed especially for farm work, and which is not only suitable for plowing, but may be equipped as a cultivator or reaper. It will prepare the ground and sow the seed at one operation, and can be operated at a better speed than a horse. Thus when plowing .it can cov er from six to seven acres a day, and goes over the field so as to leave it in final shape -for 'cultivation. -When, not In use in the field, the motor can be used to drive all farming machinery, and when plowing; the cost of fuel, labor and depreciation has been com puted at one dollar per acre. or less than one-half the expense of plowing by horse. It is interesting to note that the cost of the machine is about $1, 500, an amount that does not seem prohibitive for a large farm, where a thorough test of the new machine could readily be made. The automo bile, unlike the farm animal, does not have to be fed when it is not working, and it is here that a substantial ele ment of economy can probably be se cured. Harper's Weekly. i Set Right.

The article in question stated that prairie dogs, burrowing owls and rattlesnakes all uvea m me same home. Having been a devotee of nature study the past few months, I have good reason for not believing that.

True, the rattler often takes refuge from, the hot sun in the inhabited dog burrow, but he has ho sooner done so than the greatest excitement prevails up bobs the little dog and by his incessant bark--ing soon calls to his assistance other dogs, and as if by a signal they begin dig ging and in a few moments have the hole filleld with dirt and the snake is a pris oner with little chance of ever getting out.

NOW HEARING TOPEKA. Pipe Line Laborers Are Now Digging at Tecumseh. It will be two to three weeks before the pipe line from the Kansas gas fields reaches Topeka. The pipe line has been found. t The camps of the laborers and the trench of the pipa line is still at Stull. a small village some twelve miles southeast of Topeka. Pipe for the line is beinz hauled across country to the trench from Le compton. Bills of lading calL fpr the delivery of thirty-seven" 'car loads of pipe at Lecompton. About one-half of this has already been received at that station and is being rapidly re moved to Stull. Nine carloads out of a shipment of thirty destined for Te cumseh have been received within the past five days. A gang of men whose headquarters have been at Lawrence has been kept chasing between Le compton and Tecumseh unloading the gas mains and stacking them beside the right of way of the Santa b e. A small shipment sufficient for one mile will be sent to Topeka, but aside from this no pipe for the main trunk line will be sent here, enough will be received at Tecumseh to take care of the territory between that point and Topeka. Piiie for the local extensions is already being distributed, however. Friday evening the Kansas Natural Gas company, who are constructing the line, shipped a gang of 33 Italian and Greek laborers into Tecumseh. A camp was pitched a half mile south and w est of Tecumseh and on Satur day they were set to work digging trenches for the pipe. This gang will work eastward to meet the main gang which is working westward from Stull. The trenches are beinsr excavated to a depth of from 26 inches to 6 and 6 feet. The latter depth is given on elevations in order to maintain the pipe on a grade as far -as .possible. If the pipe line is allowed to dip too strongly the -as will collect in the pipe in the region of the dip, and be coming more dense ther will obstruct the flow through the mains. Sixteen inches is sufficient depth.- to lieep the frost from interfering seriously with the flow of gas in the mains and this Is all that is desired. Heavy rains of ten days ago hampered the progress- of the work and for a whole 4 week not a stroke of work could be done. The line is being laid at a rate of about seven-eighths of .a mile per day. The main from Ottawa-to Topeka is a twelve inch main and the pipes come in varying lengths of from 9 to 16 feet. "Well, it certainly s looks like we were going to get natural gas and that in pretty short order, too," remarked Major Tom Anderson who made the trip out beyond Tecumseh to the pipe line. CHECK TO WIFE DESERTION. An Organization Formed for the Pur pose in New York. New York, Sept. 25. Wife deser tion on the East side has become so common that a movement was started yesterday among leading Hebrews of that quarter to check the evil. Organ izations "with this end In view are to be formed and a system of following up and causing the arrest of men who desert their Wives and families will be established. It is intended that the real work of the organization shall begin at once, but that its best results will be ef fected early next year. An act has beervjpassed by the legislaturemaking wife desertion a felony, but it does not go into effect until the endKof the cur rent year. Under this act It will be possible to extradite deserting hus bands from other states. All the charity organizations on the East side. which have been called on to care fop the thousands of women and "children each year, will help in the campaign. Iinneaiolis Times Gives Vp.

Vanderheyden, an employe of the gas company, living at No. 120 Monroe street, was overcome by gas this morning while working on a main in a hole on the south side of West Sixth street, near Kansas avenue. He was unconscious' when pulled out of the hole and was 'in such a condition that it required hard work on the part of physicians to resusticate him. He was taken to his home in an am bulance. Vanderheyden and a colored man named Garrett were sent by the gas company to repair a main that feeds the building occupied by the State savings bank It was necessary to cut this main and while Garrett was away for a few minutes, Vanderhey den, who is a new man at the busi ness, went down in the hole -and tried to shut off the flow of gas. He was working hard with a wrench and stuck at the job although the flow of gas was stifling. He had not been working many minutes before he fell over and some men who were nearby pulled him out of the hole. He was unconscious and was laid on the side walk near the bank building. Dr. L. Y. Grubbs, who has an office nearby, was called and after some hard work he was able to revive the man. Van derheyden's condition was such, how ever, that it was necessary to take him home in an ambulance. A REFINERY TIED UP. Attachments for Money Due Levied on a Clianute Plant. Chanute.Kan Sept. 25. The Chanute Austin refinery is closed down. Under Sheriff O. M. Johnson, with two apprais ers, is taking an inventory of the pro perty. It is estimated that there is about $28,000 invested in the buildings of the refinery. Four more weeks' work would have been all that was necessary to complete it and have it in shape to run oil. Over two weeks ago an action was brought in the district court by the Oil Well Supply company to recover a mon ey judgment, and an attachment order was issued and served on the manager of the refinery. Pending a settlement of the account, which is $5,508.70, the plaintiff allowed the refinery to go on with the building work, the manager ar ranging with the sheriff to take care of the property. The deal to liquidate the debts failing to materialize, the sheriff has taken charge of the refinery, and all work is stopped. Mr. Johnson came up with another summons and attachment order, and the appraisement is being made. The-eec-ond suit against the Chanute-Austin company is brought by the Coffeyviile Brick company for $1,211.63.. It is also an action to recover for material fur nished. The defendant does not deny the bills. FIVE BULLETS REMOVED. From a Man's Body and He Is Getting Well. New York, Sept.; 25. After the re moval of five .38 caliber bullets from his body, Joseph Guidivinski, a rail road detective, shot August 18 in a battle with -a freight thief, was pro nounced to be on the road to recovery. The detective," according to the Ford ham hospital surgeons, presents one of the most remarkable cases of physical endurance that "has." ever come under their care. -After his battle with the thief, Guidivinski was believed to be dead, but he was- driven three miles to Fordham where it was found he had been shot over the right eye while another bullet had entered the forehead near the" left temple, two lodged Jn the abdomen, and a fifth struck the left thigh, piercing the bone. He revived and was immediately put on the operating table. After three hours' work two bullets were removed from his head. Two weeks later an attempt was made to reach the bul lets in his abdomen. One had lodged in the wall-of the" stomach, but the other w-as in the spleen.

Story of a Young Girl, i the Copyright, 1906. by Frank H. Sweet J. 1.' 1 1 fttll mil BtL out under the grape vine arbor knitting. It was only 9 o'clock In the morning an unchristian hour to knit, as most busy housewives would i.ve laid and which Keturah her "self acknowledged in the depths of her lonely, disquieted heart. But what could she do? Since the conqueror came she had no recourse against time except knitting and missionary work, and even her charity loving heart could not find the shadow of an excuse for making- poor calls this morning. Meadowville was a small place, and since the Ladies' Missionary society and the Children's Missionary band had been organized the two or three poor families had found it a sinecure to keep their poverty before the public. Even the most liberal of the work lovers were forced to admit that their pro teges were becoming more and more shiftless and laxy. Keturah loved charity work and hated knitting, and It was this same hate that made her cling to It bo as siduously. W she had lived in the right aga her sensitive conscience would have provided her with sackcloth and ashes. It was jn the lush of middle June, and the odors of honeysuckles and roses were mingled with those of rip ening strawberries and pungent garden herbs. Pollen dusted bees and Iri descent butterflies flitted about in the sunshine, and among the tendrils of the grapevine above her head was the half concealed nest of a yellow warbler. Nothing was afraid of Keturah. Even now one of the warblers Was twitter ing a contemplative interlude not three feet away from her clicking needles. But Keturah was In a disturbed frame of mind this morning and was not even conscious of her tiny friend's Sresi.ce.

liked her In a rebuffed sort of way, but somehow, even from her vantage ground of inside spectator, she could never quite understand how one wo man could accomplish so much. Every morning her conscience made her offer to help with the work, and every morn ing the conqueror looked at her with a calmly superior air and said that slow help was a bother. And that is why Keturah's mornings were spent .in the grapevine arbor or out making poor calls. She wanted to like the conqueror and tried to with all the strength of her tender, shrinking heart- Was she not her brother's wife and her own sister-in-law and was she not the best housekeeper and the most capable manager in Meadowville? But even with all these attractions Ke turah could not force her sensitive, re fined nerves to ignore this new order of bustle and energy and self assertion. And there was another thing: For three and twenty years Keturah had been the undisputed mistress of the establishment, doing the work in her quiet, prim, ladylike way, and never dreamfng that the years would bring other change than what rightfully be longed to them. She had been house keeper for her father until he died and then for her brother, and, although she had once thought and hoped that her brother might marry, such a pos sibility had gradually been lost sight of. He had Just passed his fortieth birthday and she her forty-third when the conqueror came. Keturah was not combative, and she honestly tried to take the new order of things according to the light her conscience Indicated, but her resolu tions were not as strong as the nature handed down by half a dosen genera tion of ancestors. At the end of a month she had gone to her brother and asked for her share of the property, so that she might go off and live by her self. At first he had. been incredulous, then sarcastic.

And, further more, he had advanced the unnecessary argument that she was too old to live by herself.

"He went to school with brother and me," said Keturah quietly. "He" used "KETURAH IS GOING BACK WITH ME." to live-in that house across the street I believe he was considered a very nice young man then"- "I should think-so scornfully. "At any rate, he's the finest man I ever saw. But there they come now!" and she hurried away as two men turned in the gate and came leisurely up the gravel walk toward the house. Keturah did, not rise. But half an hour later she was conscious, without looking up, that -some one h.id left the house and was eoming directly toward the grapevine arbor. "Miss Keturah?" and she rose calmly and gave him her hand. "I'm glad to see you. .Charles. she said eordially. "It's been a long time since you were here.

The- next few days Keturah saw very little of him. Florence had him in charge most of the time making poor cans, wanoaring asom ma neias or on -the- piazza chatting of tire delights of travel and missionary work. Mn ott the fifth day Florence was obliged to go to ner aressmaxer to try on an elab orate costume she was having made for the' missionary meeting. While she" was gone the Rev. "Charles Barden found his way across the lawn to the grapevine arbor, where Keturah sat knitting.' She greeted him quietly and made room for him on the seat beside Jier. "I haven't seen so much of yon as I hoped," he began as he Mi! down.-' "There's been considerable' going on," she said. "Tea. I have been trying to get a chance to speak with you alone,, hut this is my first opportunity. Eoyou remember our last conversation be fore I left?" She did not answer, but her needles began to click more rapidly. "It was in this very arVer, you member, twenty-five years ago. Z asked you to go away with me, and yew said that your-father was growing old and needed you and that it would not be right to leave him. Keturah, will yew go back with me now? Tour father is dead, and your brother is provided for. No one needs you here." The knitting work fell to the ground unheeded and a warm, rich color stole into her face. "But I am getting to be an old wo man now, and you are to the prime of life." "Ah, Indeed!" quizsingly. -I mm forty-five, and you are forty-throe. .Tnsi that aa.Tn ff M-,nr hdlwMn mm there was twenty-five years ago. Will you go back with me?"

"I wanted you twenty-fire years ago. I want you now. I shall want you always. .Will you go back witli me?" "Yes." V' At the supper table that evening the Rev. Charles Barden looked across at his host. ;.'I believe that I haven't yet told ou, John, that Keturah Is going hack with me," he said composedly. i "No? Tou don't mean it?" and John Allen looked from one to ther other in Incredulous amazement.. But, really, Charles, I congratulate you. She is a fine woman, if I do say it,"

10 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1905. GOSSIP FROM HILL CITY. SB People Want Gwvernoi" Hanna to Aim Higher Than Iieglslature. A Tecent article in the' Topeka State Journal, of some state political slgnin eance, but more especially to the big Elxth district, and Incidentally to Gra- ham county, has caused considerable tir and no small amount of surmising. As to whether D. J. Hanna cares to be representative from this district in the next session of. the Kansas legisla ture (and speaker of the house), I am not qualified to say, but I do know our people will be slow to accept this theory. We think Mr. Hanna's public -services to his people merits something better for him. He would be at decided im provement over '-'Wind Bill- Reader" in congress, and should he rrefer a re election to his present position of lieu tenant governor our people are with him to a unit. However, should Mr. Hanna gie his consent to make the race for representative In our district he can be elected, as against the Dresent incur bent, with hands down, as the saying goes. As to the opposition "in his home town" alluded to in speaking of Bis possible eandidacy for representa tive. It will "cut no ice." Should Mr. Hanna get in the race this fancied op position will vanish Hke a snowball in "Hades." Our people are especially well pleased with Mr. H.'a views on the rail road free pass proposition, and believe with him that the issuing of the same Should be barred by statute. In regard to John Dawson, assistant attorney general: It would indeed, af ford the citizens of Graham county Crreat pleasure to have Mr. Dawson en ter the race for county attorney of our county at the coming election. It would be an opportunity to pay a just com pliment to a boy who has grown to manhood in our midst, and one who is In every way worthy and well qualified to fill the position in a most creditable manner. But right here let me say: John Dawson can secure the united sup port of Graham county for attorney general should he so desire. The announcement of Mr. R. M. Mc Gonlgal, of Colby, as a candidate for secretary of state at the next general election appeals to me as being an ec pecially strong one. "Bob" will make a vote getter for the Republican "ticket, when and wherever he shows that smil ing face. He can, I believe, safely count Graha County in the McGonigal column from start to finish; It's being mentioned, on the quiet, that the next Republican county con vention will bring Captain Justus out for county clerk, while the Democrats will urge Judge Poston's candidacy for this place. The Sixth district W. C. T. U. ad journed last evening, after a two days' convention here. The session is report ed as having been a pleasant, profitable and successful one. It concluded with an excellent musical programme at the Hill City opera house. Lieutenant Governor Hanna's new house will be ready for occupancy about October 1. The many friends of Mr. H. and his estimable wife will be pleased to find them "at home" in their new quarters. The new 100 barrel capacity flouring mill,, with grain elevator combined, is fast nearing completion. When, ready for business this mill will fill a long felt want in our county. The following new buildings are now In course of construction in our city: On South Third street, residence by Alex iBolIor; on Midway, art gallery by Frank Lee; on North Second, residence by I. R. Mort; on North Fourth, residence by S. S. Nevins. It is reasonable to pre-' diet with the present bright prospects for our county and town, that the build ing boom will continue. C GIVEN A KEHEAKING. Attorneys on Both Sides In Alien Land Case Are Dead. The supreme court has decided to grant a rehearing in the alien land case involving the right of aliens to inherit property from a citizen of the stats. The title of the case is the state against Catherine Ellis and Annie Gainer. John Gainer had tract of land in Butler county. He died without a wi!l, and the defendants claimed the proper ty. The attorney general contends that the property must be turned over to the state school fund, on the ground that inheritance can only pass through the father of John Gainer, and the father was a citizen of Ireland. The peculiar feature of the case is that Assistant Attoney General Close, who was prosecuting the case for the state, and A. L. Redden, who represent ed the defendants, are both dead. KIMBLE SAYS PUSH IT ALONG. Manhattan Judge Favors a Big Fair in 1911. Letters endorsing the proposed semi centennial fair to be held in Topeka in 1911 are beginning to pour into the office of the Commercial club. One of the lat est and most enthusiastic comes from Judge Sam Kimble of Manhattan. Judge Kimble says in part: "I am in favor of it and win do anything in my power-to help the movement along, iwhile expositions have been growing pretty common and to pull off New .York In 1909 and Kansas in 1911 will be s. task, yet I believe Kansas energy is such that we could do it with credit if all tpke hold with the old time "Kansas energy," "iiTOiBiiMiwin)iiWt JOHN A, M'CALL, PRESIDENT OF THE NEW Y0EK LIFE, WHOSE TESTIMONY BEFORE THE INSURANCE INVESTI GATING COMMITTEE HAS' CREATED A SENSATION, of discussions and fe ttlinss.and ningled enough social life wirh it to keep up the interest. The influence of that group changed the outlook of the town; it brought an era o- troo-1 literature, the best literature: it resulted in a public library and the saie o real books at the corner book store. The lawyer was a good man for the town and all mourn ed when he went away." Mr. Dewey organizod his "Lanier club" at Abilene about 12 yers ago, and he also delivered hs lecture on Sidney Lanier in Topeka a number of years aso. WINCHELL INSPECTS. President of Rook Island on an Ex tensive Tour of System. B. L. Winchell. president of the Chi cago, Rock Island Pacific railway, who has returned recently from a trip abroad. Is on an extensive tour of in spection of the lines of his road. Mr. Winchell left Chicago on a special train on Friday last in company with H. U. Mudge, second vice president or the road. They traveled over the Council Bluffs line and were met Sat urday night at Belleville Kansas, by Dan E. Cain, general manager of the system. The party then continued the Journey west and were in Denver to dav. Thev will go to Dalhart, Texas, and will be met there by Frank T. Do- lan. general superintendent of the southwestern division of the road, who starts from Topeka for. thatpoint. this afternoon. It is the intention of Mr. Winchell to extend his trip to Santa Rosa, and he may possibly make a tour of inspection of the Choctaw di vision on his return north. Mr. Dolan said today that there was no special significance to this trip of President Winchell. He said that Mr. Winchell had been away for some time and was merely making a tour of in spection for the purpose of familiariz- ng himself with the conditions over the entire system. THEY WANTED THIS ONE. Scramble for a Vacancy as Justice of the Peace. It is seldom that there is any excite ment about the appointment of a jus tice of the peace, but the announce ment from Governor- Hoch's office to day that George W. Keller has been ppomted judge in the city of Cha- nute will be of a lot of interest to peo ple in that part of the world. Keller takes the place vacated by the death of J. O. Farmer. After Farmer died, the lawyers suddenly discovered that there was quite a good deal of profit in the job of justice of the peace. They found that he was handling quite a heavj- docket, and consequently, there were a number of people jumped into the race to be ap pointed Farmer s successor. Keller got into the. race first, but other applicants were ex-Police Judge H. C. Dryden and C A. Clark, a real estate man: HOW ABILENE WAS CHANGED. X. E. Dewey and His Lanier Club Are Discussed.
