LAST EDITION. FRIDAY EVIINTNG. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 29, 1903. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. FIRST GUN FIRED. Campaign Against Sin inTopeka Is Opened. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman Delivers Introductory Sermon. EXPLAINS HIS PURPOSE Asks No Sacrifices He Wouldn't Make Himself. Mere to Start Things in Right Direction. Services Are Also Opened in the Different Districts. Simpleness and directness character ized the plea which Dr. J. "Wilbur Chapman addressed to the large audi ence which gathered in the Auditor ium last evening to listen to the words of greeting which the speaker had to convey. In a way the services were simply of an introductory nature to the series of revivals to continue for three weeks. They were exceedingly Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. brief and by a Quarter after 9 o'clock the benediction had been"pronounced and the people were streaming through the dodra homeward bound. Dr. Chapman pleaded for co-operation. He asked for the sympathy which sreaks in actions as well as words. He believes that his visit in Topeka and the mission upon which he is bent will result in wonderful results. He says that he feels this. It may be intuition though probably Dr. Chap man would prefer to call it by some other name. As the head and front of the re vivalist movement which has been in augurated in Topeka, Dr. Chapman scarcely fits into the frame which one conceives as beins suitable to a re vivalist or even for that matter a min ister. It is true that he affects a semi clerical attire, a Prince Albert costume, but aside from that there is nothing in his outward appearance which would distinguish him from a lawyer politician who had met fortune on favorable terms and was apparently rather well pleased with his lot in the world. There is even a suggestion of an affluent commercial traveler, if it is proper to use affluence in connection with a commercial traveler. There is a sort of appealing simpleness and frankness in the man which is attrac tive. He uses simple phrases and his sentences abound in words of Anglo Saxon origin. There are no fringes, no elaborate embroidery bedecking his talk. It is simply, straight from the shoulder speech. It is old religion, too, that abounds as his subject matter. He believes that one must be saved through the blood of Christ; though there is a tendency to revolt against Rufn a teaching. Furthermore, he has fnith in the efficacy of revivals. Real revivals, the kind that characterized the religious life of the middle states in tUe forties or thereabouts. Practices What He Preaches. "I maintain," said he. "that I can tell the people of Topeka exactly what to do to shape their city towards ighteousness. I tell you this, that I practice everything that I preach. I practice everything that I tell you to do. I ask no sacrifice from you which I do not make myself. There is no place in the pulpit for a coward and least of all is there a place for a cow ard as an evangelist. "I am not here because I chose to be here but because I couldn't stay away. I am sure that God had me in prepara tion for this meeting. God is no re Fpecter of persons. Oh, the power of the gospel, it can reach to the lowest depths and touch the highest heights. "I know that we have come to the time when it is said and claimed that the blood of Christ has very little to do with the saving of sinners. But I know that there is nothing which quickens the heart of a sinner more than the knowledge that Christ died to save the sinners. There is no remission of sins except through the shedding of blood. The Bible is a Red Book. "1 shall not preach along denomina tional lines. I am a member of a de nomination myself but I do not care to tell you what church I belong to. I am not come here to win souls and to lead them into any particular denomination. I have simply tome in to start things in the right direction, to lead souls to tha light and to let the ministers steo in and take them along as they move aright. Denominational lines are wiped out. "I believe in revivals. The one thing that we need in this country more than any other, is a genuine old-fashioned revival. I had a man come to me who said, 'They say that Moody simply used hypnotism in those revivals when nciu up aim uown tne country" "If it is hypnotism, I thank God for the prayers of that old pastor, back when I was a child at mother's knee which led me to Christ. No, revivalism Is not hypnotism, it is simply God that s all. "I know that there are some things nat I can do at these meetings. First can show where you are wron" I an bring back the old memories I i I can lead you to Heaven, to Christ and somehow I believe that is the reason you have called me." A number of solos were given during the evening by Fred Butler, soloist with Dr. Chapman. Mr. Butler has a pleasing basso voice. A large choir assisted by a string orchestra, the whole ur"er the direction of Charles F. Allen, U the singing. This t filing the services will com mence at 7:30. Sunday afternoon a mass meeting for men only will be held at the Auditorium.Dr.Champman will de liver the principal address. At the same time at a place which is yet to be ar ranged a meeting of similar character for women will .,e held. How a Boy Got a Kite. In the annals of high finance some thirty vears hence it will be mighty surprising if the name of Maurice Milam doesn't play up well to the front. Maurice lives with his widowed mother at 1214 West Fifth street. Young Milam's latest excursion into the realms of high finance occurred in connection with the young people's meetings which are beinsr held in the First Methodist church each afternoon. To the boy who brousht the greatest number of boys with him to the meeting Wednesday afternoon Rev. C. T. Schaef fer promised a bright red box kite. Maurice set his heart on getting that kite and laid his ulsns accordingly. How to get together the greatest num ber of boys, that wasthe vexing prob lem. A bright idea, he would go to the Orphans' home and take all the boys in the institution. The idea was put into execution and he soon had an option upon the entire lot of boys that the home possessed. But plans do not al ways work out no matter how carefully you Plan them and in this instance Maurice failed to meet the boys at the place designated. This did not 'dis hearten him. however. He scurried about and soon had rounded up 15 boys and with these at his heels he tri umphantly walked into church and landed the coveted red box kite. For the cast two days Maurice has been running around up in his neighborhood flying his kite with a string of play mates wishing that they had conceived of his plan to subsidize stray boys. Dr. Ostrom's Meeting. Revival in the love of the Bible. Revival in prayer. Revival in enthusiasm. These are the three needs in the church of today according to the opinion expressed by Dr. Henry Ostrom at the meeting held last even ing at the Central Congregational church. The speaker divorced the definitioa of revival from the usual one which we associate it with and called the at tention of his audience of 500 to the revival which the successful business man is always on an alert for; revival in business methods, in cutting out the dead timber in his business dealings and methods and substituting new and refreshened ideas. Even nature itself finds the need of a revival. Growth is based on that fundamental fact. In the spring after the melting away of the snow, there is a reviving impulse given to all vegetable growth. Those who are adverse to revivals in religion on the ground that it clashes with culture, Dr. Ostrom maintained, cannot with propriety stick to that contention when there is continual Upward, tendency in growth of culture and a well defined effort to bring a bot reviving influences to bear upon education .in order that it may not stand still' but keep abreast of the times. The attention of the audience was riveted upon the primary definition and meaning of the word revival and whisked away from the moaincation which we have given to it through as sociation with certain forms of re ligious endeavor. There were also opening services on the east and north sides. NEGRO THE ISSUE. 'Down With Him" Is the Battle Cry of Maryland Democrats. Baltimore, Md., Sept.- 29. At thej Democratic state convention of Mary- i land, which was held in Ford's opera J house in this city, Comptroller of the State Gordon T. Atkinson was renomi nated and a platform adopted which, excepting a paragraph indorsing the i excellent business administration ot the present Democratic governor, Ed win Warfleld, is wholly devoted to the advocacy of the proposed constitu tional amendment to restrict negro suffrage which will be voted upon at i the November election. The platform declares as follows: "By common consent the only issue in this campaign is whether negro suf frage, put- upon us against our will by fore" shall be restricted and its pow er for evil destroyed. "This Democratic convention, repre senting two-thirds of the white people of the state, reaffirms the declaration of our party in our platforms of 1S99 and 1903 upon tliis subject, and now proclaims anew our resolute purpose to maintain the supremacy of our race and its control by all lawful and constitutional means of the adminis tration of the political affairs of the state. "Believing that the proposed consti tutional amendment will operate as an effective remedy for the evils of our situation, without prejudice or injury to any race or class; regarding it, moreover, as a complete response to the clearly expressed mandate of the people, we unreservedly commend and approve It. "We make it the single issue of this campaign. "We declare it to be our battle cry. "The negro vote as it stands today is a perpetual menace to the prosperity and peace of Maryland a menace to our very civilization for it is ignorant, corrupt, the blind instrument of un scrupulous and selfish leaders." United States Senator A. P. Gorman was present at the convention but dH not participate in the proceedings. VACATION IS OVER. This Is the President's Last, Day at Sagamore Hill. Oyster Bay, Sept. 29.

Schiff Tells of His Con. nection With Equitable. A Director While Not a Policy Holder in Company. HE "OWNED JiO STOCK. Held a Few Shares Which Be longed to Hyde. Was Troubled With Doubts on Question of Propriety. New York, Sept. 29. Jacob H. Schiff, head of the firm of Kuhn. Loeb Co., bankers of this city, and for merly a director of the Equitable Life Assurance society, was the first wit ness called before the legislative in vestigation committee today. Mr. Schiff said he had become a di rector of the Equitable society in the latter part of 1893 or the first part of 1894. His firm had had dealings with the society for a quarter of a 'century prior to that time. The question of the propriety of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb Co. dealing with the Equitable society occurred to him and he took counsel on the matter and was advised that there was nothing to prevent his firm, from properly main taining such relations. He was a di rector of the society four or five years before he became a member of any committee of it. Then he was made a member of the financial committee. Mr. Schiff stated that the position of director in large corporations in New York, and he presumed elsewhere, was a negligible quantity. If any executive officer wished to conceal anything from the directors he could easily do so and the director, under prevailing conditions, is powerless to prevent any irregularity. Mr. Schiff testified that the Equit able was in the hands of executive of ficers, and he had no way of knowing more than these executive officers chose to tell him. He refused an election to the" execu tive committee because of the relations of his firm to the society. This, wit ness said, was because Tie thought it would be improper for him as a mem ber of the executive committee to pass upon any dealings his firm might have with the society. Hyde Drew the Dividends. Up to a recent time Mr. Schiff was qualified as a director by shares trans ferred by Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde drew the dividends on these shares. Mr. Schiff received no beneficial results from them. They were retraifsferred to the trustees under the Ryan pur chase. Mr. Scbiff 'said thai prior to last February, he was net a policy holder in the Equitable and was not in any different position from many other directors, and held his position at the request of Mr. Hyde. He was asked to become a member of the fin ancial committee so he could give his judgment on some bond purchases. The question of premiums did not occur -to him because the finance committee does not decide the actual purchase, but merely advises the sale or -purchase of securities. The value of his advice in this regard, witness said,-was the same as a judge of a higher court be cause of his experience. His position was not one of such importance, he stated, because he could not insist that his judgment be followed. He could not say it was a surprise to him to fird that his position as a member of the financial committee was perfunc tory. A copy of the bylaws governing the company was identified by Mr. Schiff. These bylaws provided for an auditing committee of five directors, to pass on all matters, thus depriving the finance committee of much of its power. A list of five names was handed Mr. Schiff but he was unable to say wheth er the men named on it composed the committee. They were C. R. Alexander, Valentine P. Snyder, Thomas D. Jor dan, W. H. Mclntyre and William Al exander. Mr. Hughes said this list was handed him by an officer of the Equi table subject to correction. Witness testified that the chairman of the fin ance committee annually appointed the members to audit the society's accounts and report to the finance committee and in that way attempted a supervis ion of the society s funds. Custom Outweighs Bylaws. Mr. Schiff said there was practically no place for the finance committee as the executive took the initiative in all investments and there was an auditing committee with powers equalling the finance committee. "Do I understand," asked Mr. Hughes, "'that in corporations custom outweighs bylaws?" "In the Equitable this was the case," replied Mr. Schiff. Mr. Hughes stated that he found that W. H. Mclntyre and T. D. Jordan, members of the finance committee, had reported to that company in 1904 that they had examined the securities and found them correct. Mr. Schiff said they were appointed by Mr. Hyde, the chairman of the committee. Mr. Hughes said: "Now, in consid eration of the facts that have been found at this inquiry that the Equit able accounts were kept in the names of parties to whom they did not be long, that funds of the society were not entered on its books. I want to find out what supervision was exercised. Now, I understand that the officers had complete charge of the society, that the finance committee dealt with the investments and sales of securities only after they had been made and that with the important power to examine the accounts, the finance committee did nothing but appoint two of the executive officers to conduct the ex amination for them? "The chairman in all companies ap points the sub-committees," replied Mr. Schiff. "Checks are not necessary if all men are honest," said Mr. Hughes. "I have always believed every man honest until I found him different," said Mr. Schiff. "This has always been my theory." To a question by Mr. 'Hughes as to whether he did not think there ought to be more supervision of insurance coinnanies, Mr. Schiff said: "There is no doubt of it, but no law can secure it. Do you expect every director to have accountants at his dis posal to. examine the accounts of every bank, insurance or trust -company?" Mr. Schiff, said he understood that the Equitable society was audited only by two of its executive officers, Mr. Mc lntyre and Mr. Jordan, andUhaf Mr. Hyde appointed them. Said Mr. Schiff: 1 think he made a mistake because he actually kept a board of directors "absolutely at the mercy of one man." i Mr. Schiff said lie would like to see an insurance company looked after as strictly as his own banking firm, and its executive officers held to-a strict accountability as his own cashiers. During his connection with the so ciety Mr. Schiff said he never heard anything of the numerous trustee ac counts, and it was never broughtto his attention that moneys of the society were carried under an account in which they did not belong Campaign Contribution. Mr. Hughes asked liim about con tributions by the Equitable society. Mr. Schiff said in reply that Cornelius Nr Bliss had told him that Mr. Hyde had contributed to the last campaign, but he did not know whether it was the society's money. He knew noth ing as to how the money of the so ciety was used by the? executive offi cers until they chose to inform the finance committee. Mr. Schiff said it had been suggested that the society's accounts be audited by outsiders, but it was opposed because it was like carrying coals to -Newcastle to have "mere pigmies" of accountants as out siders were looked upon, audit the accounts kept by such experts as the Equitable employed. Taking up the transactions of Kuhn, Loeb Co. with the Equitable, wit ness testified that .the name of the firms from whom paper was bought were never mentioned in the commit tee room. When Kuhn, Loeb Co. had any proposition to make to the Equitable Mr. Schiff usually present ed it to Geo. H. Squire, who in turn presented it to the executive commit tee and then it was passed upon by General Louis Fitzgerald. Witness said it was sometimes three weeks be fore he could obtain a reply. These transactions continued until General Fitzgerald retired, and then Geo. H. Squires passed upon the offers of bonds. Of the New York transactions of the Equitable of which Kuhn, iioeb Co. were the managers, arrange ments were made as to terms in writing, the terms and amount and conditions being fully discussed. Mr. Hughes went into a long question re garding the syndicates and closed by saying: r "You don't have to beg life Insurance companies to go into these syndicates?" "No, indeed," witness replied. "It's a pretty good thing to be let in, isn't it?" "Witness smiled and nodded and Mr. Hughes continued: "I iflean they are good things to be let in." whereas Mr. Schiff smilingly nodded. The list of the syndicate transactions of the Equitable was taken up and the manner of all bonds was probed. The allotments to General Louis Fitzgerald were made to him rather than to the Equitable. Mr. Schiff said because he was a financial factor In a circle of men whom he desired to take into the syndi cates. As a director of the Equitable it did not occur to Mr. Schiff that the profits from this would not go to the Equitable. Hat trusted tp General Fitz gerald's fairness. THREW-HIMvT0 SHARKS How Natives of the New Hebrides Treated a Ship Captain. Victoria.B. S., Sept.29 From the- New Hebrides news has been received by the Miowai of an attack by the natives on a French punitive expedition sent to punish the blacks for outrageous ac tions against white settlers and several murders at Bullieson Mallicolo island. The French warship Muerthe landed a party of marines, who arrested their chief. As the party took their captive from the village a shot fired from am bush killed one marine gunner. The party then attacked the village, dis persing the natives and killed four men. The landing party burned the village and returned to the bay, where it was again fired upon and a marine wound ed. The dead marine was buried at Port Sandwich with military honors. The natives alleged that the murderers of Captain Richard Pentecost, and six members of the trader Petrel crew were taken to Noumea. They were trying leaders of the party when they tied the captain to a tree and cast spears into his body and while he was still con scious they threw him Into shark in fested waters and danced while the monsters tore the body, to pieces. CHANGE IN THE WEATHER. Clouds Succeed the Clear Skies of Past -Week. Heavy clouds overhang the city and every indication is that we will receive a rain within the next few hours. Though a prediction of this kind may not be m order, as every sign nas seemed to fail lately. The mornings have been cool and everything has predicated a cool day for the last week and at that, we find the thermometer registering up close to the 90 mark every day and the cool days that have been expected and longed for have not arrived and from indications are many days removed. The reports from the various stations over the state show that at just about half of the stations the sun is shining. The weather was cloudy this morn ing in southeastern Kansas and in western Missouri, but clear in central and northern Kansas. The tempera ture has risen slightly in eastern Kan sas and western Missouri. No precipi tation has occurred. The maximum and minimum tem peratures for the 24 hours ending at 7 o'clock this morning were: Baker, 86-60; Dodee City, 88-60; Fort Scott, 8 4-60; Macksville, 86-60; McPherson, 88-60; Manhattan, 90-58; Osage City, 86-58: Russell, 90-60; Sedan, 86-56; Topeka, 86-62; Toronto, 86-56; Wich ita, 86-62.

President Winehell. of Hock Island Is Delighted. Returned Today From Tour of His Lines. TALES OF PROSPERITY He Heard Them All Along the Houte. Will Make Large Increases in Equipment; "Conditions in the west and the southwest were never as favorable as they are now," said B. Lw- Winehell, president of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway today. Mr. Winehell was in town for about 20 minutes this morning on his return from an exten sive tour of inspection of the Rock Is- lana lines. He arrived at the Rock Island station here shortly after 10 o'clock and left at 10:30. He traveled on a special train of five private cars and a engine and it is his intention to return to Chicago by way of St. Louis. On the special with Mr. Winehell was a party of his co-workers on the Rock Island including H. U. Mudge, the sec ond vice president, W. B. Biddle, the third vice president, D. E. Cain, gen- B. F. Winehell, President of the Rock Island. eral manager, F. T. Dolan, general sup erintendent of the southwest district; T. S. Loyd, superintendent of motive .power and -3. G.- Bloom, engineer in charge of the Kansas division of the road. Mr. Cain( Mr. Dolan and Mr. Bloom will leave the party at Kansas City. Also with-Mr. Winehell were his wife and son and a number of young friends of the latter. Mr, .Winehell has just returned from an extended trip to Europe and this was his first inspection of the road since early last spring. He left Chicago on .Thursday of last week and went west as far as Denver. Then he toured the "southwest going as far as Santa Rosa. -"All along the entire route of the trip," said Mr. Winehell today, "we have found nothing but stories of great prosperity and we have seen all th& evidence necessary to confirm these stories. Crops all over the west and southwest are enormous and the rail roads will have all they can to handle them. "Conditions on our road are excellent. In fact I was surprised to see things in such good shape considering the un favorable weather we have had lately. Our work of improving the roadbed along the entire stretch of the system is progressing most favorably. It could be pushed with more rapidity In order to satisfy us, but we are unable to find all the laboring men we want. There is quite a shortage of railroad laborers because all the roads are doing so much in the line of improvements and then the recent rains and floods have made a lot of emergency work that has taken large numbers of men who would oth erwise be available for the regular work. However, we are pushing our reballast ing along the lines. We have more than a dozen ballast gangs at work and will add to them as fast as we can get the men. We have unlimited money at our disposal for the work of improv ing the track and roadbed and when the improvements already planned are completed we will have as fine a road bed as'there is anywhere in the west, if not the finest. Adding to Equipment. "Owing to the great demands made by the freight traffic incident to the prosperous condition of the country we operate in, we are adding to our equip ment all the time. Our budget for the coming year has not been made out as yet so that I cannot say Just what the amount of equipment we will contract for next year,- but it will be large. This year'we placed orders for five thousand new freight cars and most of them have been delivered and this order was none too large for we need all the cars we can get. We 'also increased our pas senger equipment during the year by seventy-five cars." Concerning the repeated reports that have been going around to the effeet that the Rock Island was negotiating for the purchase of the Sierra Madre railroad in Texas and that it intended to extend this line to the-Pacific ocean at some point in Mexico, Mr. Winehell said that there was not a word of truth in it. "I understand that Col. Green, who owns the road, never made the state ments attributed to him that we were negotiating for the purchase of his road," said Mr. Winehell. "What Col. Green did say, so I am informed, is that he was negotiating for the sale of the road. Some one took this state ment and jumped at the conclusion that the Rock Island was the other party to the negotiations but the conclusion was a wrong one for we have no intention of taking over the road." At every point Mr. Winehell has stopped on this trip he has been asked concerning the rumors, that the Santa Fe was about to. purchase the Rock Island St. Louis and Kansas City line and his answers have been that there was nothing in these rumors, and that the line was not for sale. He laugh ingly answered the same question in the same way today. Mr. Winehell said that at the pres ent time the company was hot con sidering the transfer of anyof Its of fices to Topeka. "Our office room here is overcrowded now," added Mr. Winehell. "Still we are always open to conviction amis if It can be pointed out to us that this is the best point for some of our general offices why there might be a change but we are not con sidering any now." Mr. Winehell said that he had en joyed a splendid trip in Europe. "They've got some fine automobiles over there," he said, "but their rail roads do not compare with ours. At least that Is my opinion." While Mr. Winchell's party was in town this morning Vice President Mudge found time to run up to the Santa Fe offices and shake hands with his friends there. W. B. Storey, chief engineer of the Santa Fe, accompanied Mr. Mudge to the station and he was prevailed upon to take a trip on Mr. Winchell's special as far as Kansas City at least. M. A. Low, of this city, who is general counsel for the Rock Island, called on Mr. Winehell while the special was in the station. He was also prevailed upon to go with the party to Kansas City as Mr. Winehell, wished to confer with him on matters pertaining to the business of the road. GAVE HER HIS PICTURE Emperor of Korea Bids Farewell to Miss Roosevelt Seoul, Korea, Sept. .29. Miss Alice Roosevelt and party left Seoul today by special train for Fusan. Owing to the damage done by the recent rains the trip to Fusan will take two days. The party will stop tonight at the Presbyterian mission at Taiku and to morrow will reach Fusan, whence they will go to Shimonoseki and Yoko hama. The visit to Japan will be en tirely private. Miss Roosevelt will de cline any public recognition or hos pitality. The emperor of Korea re ceived Miss Roosevelt in farewell audi ence and presented her with his photo graph to which was affixed his auto graph. The Koreans made every effort to make her visit pleasant. On Wednes day she and her party visited the tomb of the late queen. The road leading there was especially widened and re laid and the highways for miles out side the city were repaired in anticipa tion of Miss Roosevelt s ride over them. Korean high .officials, including Gen eral Min, formerly minister at Wash ington, gave a dinner yesterday in hon or of Senator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, and the men of the party and toasted President Roosevelt. The emperor of Korea gave valuable presents to the whole party, including tiger skins, silver and brassware and embroideries, and extended to them every possible courtesy in order to show his friendliness for Americans. TWO SHIPS LOST. One by Fire and One -on Rocks In New Caledonia. Victoria,- B. C, Sept. 29. Details of shipping disasters in South seas were received by the Miowera yesterday. The largest ship built in American wa ters, the Roanoke, Captain Amesbury, was destroyed by fire at Nehiu, New Caledonia, When the Roanoke had loaded 4,000 tons of a cargo of ore, hoist ing it in baskets, from the lightens, fire was seen. The men assisted by crews of the American ship Susquehanna and Nor wegian bark Arabia fought the fire. The smoke was so dense that men could not be sent below, holes were cut in the deck and bucket brigades work ed until steam was ua and the pumps were started, but the fire drove out the engineer and fire fighters. The Susque hanna's mate and some men were over come by fumes and had a narrow escape. The vessel is a total loss. The schooner Jones Brothers was dashed to pieces near Newcastle after breaking her tow line on the night of September 1, and seven men were drowned. The Helen Nickoll was tow ing the schooner to Sydney with coal when the tow line parted and the ves sel was driven ashore. Not a vestige of her, other than some debris, smashed to match wood was found. SWEAR BY KALI. Bengalese Take an Oath to Boycott British Goods. Calcutta, Sept. 29. Fifty thousand Bengalese assembled at the temple of Kalighat have sworn by the Goddess Kali to boycott British goods as a protest against the partition of the province of Bengal. The administra tive work of the province according to the views of the home and Indian gov ernments had grown to such unwieldy proportions as to necessitate a di vision of the labor, hence the parti tion of the province into two lieuten ant governorships. The Bengalese are intensely resentful at what they char acterize as an attempt to plit the population and impair the Bengalese nationality. At scores of meetings throughout Bengal the people have pledged themselves to support the boycott which has now received the sanction of the priests. The scene at the temple of Kalighat, the greatest in Bengal, was striking when the immense asemblage took the oath "In the holy presence of the God dess Kali not to use foreign goods, buy articles in foreign shops when avail able in native shops or employ foreign ers on any work that can be done by our countrymen." The high priest then placed a mystic vermillion symbol on the forehead of each of those who took the oath. Foreign firms are all feeling seriously the effect of the boycott. SHERRICK ARRESTED. Indictment Charges Larceny, Embez zlement and Conspiracy. Indianapolis, Sept. 29. David E. SherricK, former auditor or state, and recently removed by the governor, was arrested today at his home on an indictment returned by the Marion county grand jury charging him with grand larceny, embezzlement and con spiracy to defraud. He gave bond in the sum of J20.QOO. Much Loot Discovered. TCew Tork, Sept. 29. Central office detec tives have found large quantities of silver plate and jewelry from dining rooms in a Roosevelt street tenement occupied by An tonio Desisto and his wife, an aged cou ple who make their living by picking rags. Bank books also found by the detectives show total deposits of. nearly $6,000 in local savings banks. The loot is believed by the police to be worth about $3,000 and cover periods of 15 years. NEWMANJ31D IT. Blamed for Poor Showing Made by Topeka. Census Report Shows Falling Off of Thirteen Hundred. IT IS PREPOSTEROUS. Unpardonable Slorenliness of Officials Says Coburn. Newman Resents Charges of Mr. Coburn. Says aTwo "-Books Containing 2,800 Names Are Missing. In announcing the results of th fifth decennial census, showing th total population of Kansas to be 1, 543,818, Secretary F. D. Coburn makes a stinging attack on certain, county clerks of the state who, ac cording to Mr. Coburn's belief, hava failed to require careful work on the part of the census enumerators. A. Newman, of Shawnee, is one ofi those included in Mr. Coburn's at- tack, which la directed against the clerks ot a number of the best andi most prosperous counties in the state, which show, a falling oft in-population. This Is what Mr. Coburn says: "Forty-seven of the 105 counties report having lost 26,048. The in credible and certainly preposterous decrease of population within 1 a" twelvemonth certified by half dozen, or more unquestionably prosperous and growing counties, ranging from 1,048 in one to 4,393 in another,' indicates to everyone but them-' selves an unpardonable .sloven liness by some of the officials respon sible for showings so unwarranted. The charitable suggestion has beens made that their zeal may have be-' come so exhausted in seeking the offi--ces they occupy but cannot fill that lit tle was left for the duties they sol--: emnly swore to perform, or for main-" taining the credit of the communities they so wantonly discredit and humili ate." Mr. Coburn and Mr. Newman had, several rather warm encou aters dur. ing the preparation of the census re turns. Mr: 'Newman's books were re turned to him for correction by Mr. Coburn, accompanied by a sharp let ter. Later on, when the books were sent back to Mr. Coburn, they were still unsatisfactory, and another blis tering epistle passed from the office of the secretary of the board of agri culture to the court house. -According to the census Teturns, Shawnee county shows a falling off of 1,24 in the past year, while the city of Topeka shows a decrease of 1,332. It seems hardly probable that with the vast number of new houses built in Topeka and the' strong demand for rental property, there could have been a falling off in population. Mr. Coburn's report is in part as follows: "The compilation by the state borrd of agriculture of the fifth decennial census of Kansas, taken this year, has progressed to a point where tlra popu lation of the state is known, the total number of inhabitants, as enrolled by assessors In March, 1905, being 1.543, 818., This is the largest number In the state's history, a net gain in the past year of 8,658 and an increase over the preceding decennial census in 1895 of 209,084, or 15.6 per cent. With a single exception the official figures for the past decade have year ly proclaimed a healthy growth in population. "The five state decennial censuses for Kansas show the growth in popu lation as follows: First In 1865 140,179 Second In 1S75 628,349 Third In 1885 1,268,630 Fourth In 1895 1,334,734 Fifth In 1905 1,543,818 The enumeration in 1903 showed for that year an increase of 23,219. and in 1904 the gain was 47,313, mak- ing a total net gain of 79,190 in the past three years. This year 58 counties show an in crease of 34,706, Wyandotte leading with a gain of 9,702, or 11.75 per cent, followed, although remotely, by Crawford with a gain of 2,987, Chero kee 2,499 and- Montgomery 2,465. While the smallest in area Wyandotte continues in point of population the premier county by a wide margin, having 92,234 inhabitants, or 65 per cent more than the county ranking next highest. Eighty-five per cent tf its population is in the cities. Shawnee county is second, Sedgwick third, Montgomery fourth, Crawford fifth, each retaining the same relative rank as in 1904. Cherokee this year is sixth, displacing Leavenworth which, now ranks seventh. Thirty-five per cent of Kansas' pop ulation is in the cities and towns with 1,000 inhabitants or more, of which she has 119 the same number eligi-. ble in such a list last year. Lyndon -and La Cygne have dropped out, but Oberlin and Scranton, with gains of 146 and 144 respectively, have entered the list. Sixty-one municipalities have gained 25,167 people, Kansas City re porting an increase of 9,903. This is by far the largest gain made by any city; in fact, is more than the aggre gate gains in the 13 cities returning the next consecutive largest increases. Fifty-eight others lost 16,846 inhabi tants. There are 12 cities each hav ing 11,000 or more population, aggre gating 262,219, or 17 per cent of the state's total. The relative rank of the six leading in population remains the same as one year ago, while Fort Scott and Coffey ville, last year 7th and 8th respective ly, have their positions reversed. Par sons, 13th last year,' is now 9th; Law rence has dropped one place, to 10th, and Hutchinson, Chanute, Emporia, Winfield, Arkansas City, Cherryvale, Wellington, Rosedale, Horton, Osa watomie and Holton, retain the same rank as one year ago, although all but three record increases. Independence is now 12th Instead of 10th and Iola 13th Instead of 12th, the latter,- with Chanute, dropping out of the 10,000 class.

College Brand I On Kansas Ave., No. 631 Dunlap Hat Agency j I """l Get Paid first game of the series upon which probably hangs the American league championship. The score was 3 to 3 and it nas a bitterly contested same. Plank who occupied the center for the Athletics, was in magnificent form, al lowing only three hits and during the nine innings he struck out an even dozen Chicago batters. The White Sox made two runs in the fourth inning, tieing the score, but after that act Plank was invincible. Patterson pitch ed a very creditable game, but the ina bility of his teammates to connect with Plank's twisters was the cause of the defeat. This victory gives the Athletics every series played with the other seven clubs in the league. If Philadelphia can win one more game from the Chicagoans it is almost a certainty that they will win the pennant. Before the game the bet ting on the race for the championship was about even, but last night there was plenty of money in sight to back the Athletics, although Manager Mack gave it out that "Rube" Waddell had pitched his last game of the series. Waddell pitched one inning against De troit the previous day, but was taken out after Mclntyre made a hit off him. His arm is in bad condition, and, after physicians had made another examina tion, Manager Mack reluctantly decid ed that "Rube's" pitching would be of no aid to the Athletics in the Chicago series. It was decided that Plank would pitch two games and either Ben der or Coakley the other. It has been generally understood here that Maddell had injured his arm in a game, but a member of Connie Mack's band told the real story why the fam ous left wing was on the bum. Pitcher Andrew Coakley is the cause of the trouble. Waddell perpetrated a silly "joke" on Coakley by cutting up his new hat. Coakley became angry and threw his suit case at Waddell. The heavy missile hit the big pitcher on the shoulder and put him out of commis sion. It is said that Waddell was not only injured, but knocked down by the force of the blow. Connie Mack, in order to avoid the notoriety of the affair, ordered the en tire team to keep the matter under cover. How loyally they have abided by Mack's wishes is evident from the dearth of reasons for Rube's retirement and Mack losing ground each day. Kitty Bransheld and Manager Duffy of Philadelphia said that the injury was much worse than is generally believed, and it is doubtful if Rube will work again this season. The score: CHICAGO.

Herman Long, who formerly captained the Boston National league team, has been offered, and will likely accept that position again for next year. Long has had charge of Joe Cantillon's Des Moines team, -pennant winners of the Western league this season, and he alone is given credit for putting the team at the head of the league this summer. He also coached and sold Leifield, Wakefield, Manske, Rossman and Ganley to the major leagues. Long has. batted at .300 during the greater part of the summer, and is considered the best shortstop in the league. Ac cording to his own statement his arm is as good as it was six years ago. College Football Season. New York, Sept. 29. The opening games in the schedules of the "Big Six" college elevens begin this week, and with them the season in the east may be said to be fully under way, al though the decisive matches of the year are still two months away. On Saturday West Point, Pennsylvania, Harvard and Columbia all swing into line, and four days later Yale will complete the advance. The New Havenites were scheduled to begin play next Saturday, with the other elevens of the eastern colleges, but the cancellation of their opening game by Trinity left them idle until Oc tober 4. Reds Offer Nealon $4,000. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 29. Joe Nealon, San Francisco's strapping young first baseman, has been offered $4,000 a year by Garry Herrmann to sign with the Cincinnati Reds. Ted Sullivan has a contract drawn up and hopes the natlve'son will attach his signature to it, but at last reports Joe was still reluctant to go. Other clubs, including the Boston Americans, want him, but the bid so far is probably the highest offered for a youngster who has only had one season of profes sional ball. Nealon said today that he has given his word to the president of the Cincinnati club that if he goes east at all it will be to play first base for Cincinnati. No More Games for Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 29. "It is a mistake to say that Nebraska university-is even considering the suggestion of a post-season game with the Kan sas City Athletic, club," declared Ir. Clapp, secretary of the Nebraska board. "Nebraska's schedule is far too heavy to think of taking on as stiff a team as the Athletics probably will present. The Cornhuskers must face Michigan, Minnesota and Illi nois. If there is a heavier schedule at any other western school I have not yet heard of it. It may be putl uuwii practically ua nuai inai me sea son at Nebraska will end Thanksgiv ing day." Good Shooting at Hutchinson. Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 29. H.

The largest crowd in the history of Grand Circuit racing at Oakley Park was in attend ance Thursday afternoon. The free-for-all trot was the feature of the day. Wentworth, Snyder, McGregor and Dr. Strong were the only starters. Snyder McGregor won the first two heats. The 2:16 trot was practically a two-horse race. Eighteen horses went to the post.

Cojeman and J. M. Simpson Know This. Kansas City, Kan.. Sept, 29. The feature of Thursday's developments in the "joint" war in this city and Wyan dotte county was the charge made by three "joint" keepers that Martin H. McHale, an Armourdale real estate dealer, is the man who collects the $5 a month from the "joint" keepers. They said they supposed McHale was a go-between in the case for what they vaguely termed "county authori ties." It furnished the desired "pro tection" and they did not question further. What McHale Says. McHale, however, denies this em phatically, but declares that he knows money is paid by the saloon men and brewers and that it goes to Topeka to the Republican or the Democratic cen tral committee, whichever one seems likely to win, and thus be able to do the brewers the most good. McHale further declared that C. C. Coleman, attorney general, knew all that he did and that James M. Simpson, former chairman of the Republican state cen tral committee, also knew all about where the money came from. McHale refused to give the names of any of the politicians who received money from the "joints." "Joint" Keepers' Statement. The three "joint" keepers of Rose dale who declared that McHale col lected the $5 monthly stipend from them are Joseph Thaler, James Chris topher and John McNichol. They gave out a statement which each signed as follows: Rosedale, Kan., Sept, 27.

JAS. CHRISTOPHER. Joseph Thaler of 700 Southwest boulevard, Rosedale, Kan., keeps a "joint" at that address. He is one of the men who signed the statement. He said that he opened the place last July and that the first month he was not approached. "During the next month, however," he said, "'MCHale came in. I was for merly around a saloon in Armourdale a good deal and so when McHale came I just said: "I guess I'll give you a little money." "He smiled and said 'all right,' and I paid him. I also paid him the next month. He never told me who it was for and I didn't ask him just thought it best to pay up. I understood that it went to the county." Mcllale's Little Black Book. James Christopher of 1017 Kansas avenue, Rosedale, said the collector was McHale. "I opened this place seven months ago," said Christopher. "The second month 1 was here MCMaie came in ana said: 'Gibson let you off the first month, but you've got a little fine to pay this month.' "I paid him $5 that month and have paid that amount each month since. We never had any ords about it. I just paid him the money and he made a record of it in a little black book he carries.

In Rawlins County, Making Good This Year. Atwood. Kan., Sept. 29. No town in northwest Kansas has had more set backs than Atwood, yet there is scarce ly a town in all this section enjoying greater prosperity than is the county seat of Rawlins county. For years the Lincoln, Neb., land and town company had it in" for Atwood, and with the policy of rule or ruin made its fight against the town, and that company lost out as it justly deserved. After the tight had been made by the town com pany, and lost, the B. M. railroad, which is little better than none at all as far as Atwood is concerned, located their depot more than a mile from town. And such train service as the town has had for years has been worse than any railroad has ever given a town on any system. And after all these fights the people of Atwood have stood together, until today they are en joying greater prosperity than ever. D. C. Mather, manager of the Foster Lumber company, has sold this year, since January, more than $36,000 worth of lumber and other building material, the sales reaching the enormous sum of $8,000 in August, Mr. Mather estimates that the aggregate sales for the year 1905 will easily reach the $50,000 mark. The Improvements in Atwood alone, in the erection of new buildings, he con servatively estimates at $35,000, which will be largely increased be'fore .the close of the present year. As one of her townsmen says, Atwood is booming this year. Over a dozen fine residences have been erected, one of which is that of Fred Robertson, at a cost of about $5,000, with all the modern improve ments and conveniences to make it comfortable for all time. Many others have been planned, but owing to the scarcity of laborers, more especially carpenters, a large amount of building will be carried over until next spring. Atwood's enterprising mayor, Frank K. Munger, and who some of the east ern papers refer to as the "Mayor of Kansas,-" has caused wonderful Im provements to be made in the walks and streets, which are getting to be well shaded, from the fact that every home and business house have planted trees. The grove around the court house is one of the finest in northwest ern Kansas. The school house is being repaired and a large addition, at a cost of about $10,000, Is being built for the Rawlins county high school, giving four addi tional rooms. A splendid corps of teach ers have been employed, with C. W. McCormick, son of ex-Congressman McCormick. as superintendent of the high school, and Frank H. Hayward, assistant. F. W. Barr Is principal of the city schools, assisted by Miss Alice Bieber, Miss Ruth Nichols and Miss Beryl Lovejoy. W. R. Shirley Sons are preparins to burn their second kiln of 100,000 brick. The new residence of Fred Luther is nearing completion, at a cost of about $2,500. Of the two banks of Atwood.the Raw lins County State bank, has deposits of $76,047.65, while the Bank of Atwood Whs $51,672.44, according to the last Statements. Atwood is after a railroad. She hard ly considers she has one at this time.

M. have surveyed a line from Oherlin tn this place, and from Saint Francis to Haigler, Neb., on the main line, there by uniting the Republican valley and the Beaver valley branches. The Mis souri Pacific proposed extension from Lenora west is also looked upon with mucn lavor. Atwood and Rawlins counties would do the fair thing to the Missouri Pacific. On the 6th of October Atwood will vote on the proposition to bond for a $10,000 system of, waterworks. A peti tion calling for an election is being cir culated. The new addition to the Tremont hotel will cost about $2,600. And by the way, this hotel is not ample enough to take care or the guests. Tna town has a large number of landseek- ers daily. Atwood has a good flouring mill and a telephone exchange, reaching out near and far, as good as any sys tern. Rawlins county was organized in 1881, but one of her big potato grow ers Baid that he has raised enough this year to feed the entire county. All admit that the best all round crops the county has ever raised is this year. And there are over 6,000 people in the county, an increase of about 1,000 over 1904. Atwood, the county seat, has close to 600 inhabitants, which also shows a wonderful and healthy increase over the preceding year. Her farmers are in first class shape, and most of them carry healthy bank ac counts. Good crops have been raised in Rawlins county since 1896. Most of the farmers are well off, and many of them have been raising1 from 5,000 to 10,000 bushels of wheat annually sines then. Speaking about good crops, the following will bear the truth out: D. W. Morris has eight acres of potatoes, and will harvest no less than 1,000 bushels; Ezra Gibson threshed out over 2,000 bushels of wheat from ninety acres; Fred Roesch threshed out over 3,100 bushels of wheat from 120 acres; Herman Dunk er has sold over $1,600 worth of wheat from his 100 acres, and has some left; N. N. Hastings' wheat averaged 26 bushels an acre; C. M. Moore's wheat threshed more than 26 busels an acre; John Focke, ex-member of the legislature, has a farm of 480 acres, which he bought a year ago for $2,500. So far this year he has already sold over $4,600 worth of grain, and plenty left. Dozens of other instances of this kind are heard on every hand. An old resident of Rawlins county says: "I believe farm lands in the county have more than doubled in price in the last two years. In that time I have known quarter sections of unimproved lands to sell from $400 to $800 and $1,000 advance." It is won derful to note the changes for the bet ter in Rawlins county, and the rapid strides Atwood. the county seat, is making in any direction you cast your eye. RELAYING SOME TRACK. Improvements to Santa Ve Roadbed Near Needles. Needles, Cal., Sept. 29. The Santa Fe is relaying and rebuilding the river track which connects with the ferry of the Mohave and Milltown railway. This has been necessary because of the great amount of freight traffic which is going into the San Francisco dis trict through Needles and over the Mohave Milltown railway. Material for the building of the mill at the "Vivian property Is expected to arrive soon, as well as large shipments of supplies for general distribution throughout the district, and conse quently the railroad is surfacing the present track and placing it in good condition, it having been in bad or der since the flood season of this year, a few weeks ago.

DECREASE IN TONNAGE. But All Things Considered the System Did Remarkably Well. Gossip and Matters ot Interest in Railroad Circles. In the current issue of the Railway World Is a comprehensive resume of the conditions on the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe system during the recent fiscal year, and in commenting on the financial condition of tha road consid- Lerable attention is given to the difficul ties which have beset the management during the last 12 months. Among oth er things the article says: 'In addition to the .increase in oaer atlng expenses there was a decline of .018 cents in the earnings per ton mile, and although the ton mileage of the company increased $7,820,436, this de crease In the rate was sufficient to ac count for a decline of $353,671 in freight revenues, which was, however, more than offset by a gain of $611,606 in re ceipts from passenger operation. From the foregoing it is evident that the increase in the operating cost of the Atchison indicates no decline in the efficiency with which the road is man aged. On the contrary, the average tons of revenue freight carried per freight train per mile was 281 tons and the train mile revenue in spite of the decline in tates, above mentioned, in creased from $2.75 to $2.85. The decrease in operating cost has also, in a large measure, been extended by a decline of 22 cents in the cost of coal and 39 gents in the cost of fuel oil. The past year was remarkable for ex cessive and widely distributed rainfall over a large portion of the Atchison territory. It is in fact stated that there was hardly a week, during the 14 months ending June 30, but that some portion of the main line in Arizona and New Mexico was Interrupted on three occasions from four to eight days; for weeks it was necessary to advise ship pers to employ other routes; 9,551 feet of bridges, 35 miles of track, and 1,000, 000 cubic yards of embankment were carried away, and the cost of repairing the damages is estimated at $2,000,000. In addition to this, large expense was incurred in caring for delayed passen gers, detouring trains over other lines, overtime paid employes of delayed trains, and wrecks due to washouts, so that nearly all the decrease In net earn ings can be ascribed to the damages sustained by floods. It will be remem bered that in 1904 the Atchison sus tained severe damages from floods in Kansas, and this was only a repetition of a similar disaster in 1903. All the rivers in the central and eastern por tion of the state by 1904 were out of their banks on vtwo or three occasions, and a large amount of track was de stroyed. This damage occurred so late In the fiscal year that most of the ex pense of renewal appeared in the maintenance charges of 1905. Deducting these extraordinary ex penses due to the flood damages, and the maintenance charges of the Atch ison remain practically the same as in 1904. The average charges to this ac count, it should be remarked, have increased considerably in recent years. The expense of maintaining equip ment was also materially increased, the addition of $908,729 to this ac count representing an increase of $393 per locomotive. The increase in maintenance of equipment, how.ever. Is $586,863 less than was reported for 1904. The Increased competition of fuel oil throughout the southwest appears in a decline of 18,000 tons in the ton nage of coal. The effect of the de ficient harvest is also seen in the some what smaller tonnage in most of the items under the heading of classifica tion manufactures which represent consumable goods. It cannot be de nied, that, when compared with the preceding year, this statement of traffic Is disappointing. The decrease, however, is not bo serious as to call for extended comment, and the excel lent harvests for the current year should furnish an entirely different showing for the next fiscal year. Extension of the Atchison system, which has been proceeding with great rapidity in recent years, was arrested during 1905. The total increase of mileage during the year was only seventeen miles although the increase in the average number of miles ope rated was 125 miles. The company is now occupied in completing a large amount of branch line mileage, main ly located in Oklahoma and Texas, which has been recently undertaken, and in reconstructing the line wher ever such improvements are demand ed. During the year the very large sum of $8,664,897 was applied to these various purposes, the funds being pro vided from an issue of convertible 4 per cent bonds, of which $10,108,250 was provided during the year. The most important extension under contemplation is the Arizona and Cali fornia railway, which is projected from Wickenburg, Arizona, across the Colorado river to Bengal, a station on the main line in California. The com pletion of this line will materially shorten the distance between, the Salt River valley and all points in Cali fornia; it will afford an alternative road for through business in case of interruption of traffic on the main line, and it is also expected to develop a considerable tonnage in minerals. About fortv miles of this line has been constructed un to the end of the year. It is also proposed to construct 161 miles of second track. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe CIGAR TALKS How StansBeld Can Sell .as Good a Cigar as the Chico for 5c. "You want me to talk about cigars?" said Mr, Stansfield. "I think the better way is to let our cigars talk for themselves." he con tinued. "There is one cisar in our case, the 'Wadsworth Bros.' Chico,' which is doing a lot of talking, even shouting. I consider Topeka fortunate in getting the agency lor Jt, as it is in reality equal to any 10c cigar, and it costs only 5c. "You see I buy it direct from the maker, and the middleman does not get any profit. At any rate, it is be coming the best seller in my case, and people who heretofore would nave nothing but a 10c or even 15c cigar, ask for a Chico, and say they like it. Better try one yoursell and see now good it is." has sustained an uriusually trying' ex perience in three successive years by the heavy floods throughout a large portion of its territory. It is unreason able to expect that this disaster will continue, and with the favorable out look for business in the southwest, and the high and increased efficiency with which the system is operated, a re sumption of the increase in the sur plus earnings, applicable to dividends on the common stock, is to be antici pated. WABASH CAN GO IT ALONE. Ramsey Says It Does Not Need Gould Influence to Make Money. Local railroad men are much interest ed in a letter written by President Jos eph Ramsey, Jr., declaring that the Wabash was perfectly able to go it alone and make 'moneys This letter was written to the editor of a New York paper and Mr. Ramsey declared in it that the road would not lose any traffic by becoming independent of the Gould lines. The letter in part fol lows: "The Rock Island, the Union Pacific the Kansas City Southern, and other roads, all were formerly close allies of the Wabash at Kansas City for St. Louis and other traffic, which traffic and friendly relations the Wabash has lost, since it is supposed by these lines to be dominated by the Missouri Pacific interests. "The Frisco, Missouri, Kansas Texas, and Rock Island all reach St. Louis, and whereas the Wabash for merly received a goodly portion of the traffic of these lines for eastern points at St. Louis, they now favor the lines competitive with the Wabash, because the other 'Gould lines' west of St. Louis are competitive with them. "The Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun tain can deliver traffic to the Wabash only at St. Louis, and If they dtelivered all their traffic at that point to the Wa bash for eastern points it would help somewhat to make good the loss from o?her Sues. But the Missouri Pacific works quite closely with the other strong eastern lines the Big Four, Vandf lia, Baltimore Ohio, and othera in order that the Missouri Pacific may get some of these lines' traffic west. 8 "The Wabash Is also a heavier loser in traffic at Chicago and Omaha on ac count of being a 'Gould -pEV?Z large western system and Pacific coast fnf reaches Chicago and they desire to bring their traffic to that point for the 'long haul. "The Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun- btl a SSff St efstwa with the Wabash or other Gould line, west they "throw down' the waDasn Tnd turn to its competitors east, who a?e not Tn competition with them m the west." INSANE MAN LEAPS TO DEATH. Clias. Malpers Jumps From Moving Train and Is Ground to Pieces. Local officials of the Santa Fe have just received the details of a distress ing accident which occurred on Sun day between Barstow and San Ber nardino, when Charles Malpers, an Englishman, in a fit of insanity threw himself from the car window of swift moving train No. 2 and was ground to pieces, either by that train or one wjitch followed it. Charles Malpers' brother, Philip, who is a seafaring man living in British Columbia, senator Charles in the hope that a change of climate would do him good. Recently Philip s health failed, and he conceived the idea that a tour of southern California would prove beneficial, both to himself and to-his sick brother. Philip, however, was sadly disap pointed in noting that his brother's in sanity was becoming marked and he finally decided that he would take Charles back to his home in old Eng land. Tickets were accordingly pur chased to New York, whence the brothers intended to take ship for home. In Cajon Pass Philip left his broth er's side for a few moments to get something from his grip. While open ing his grip he heard a slam, but thought little of it. But when he re turned to his seat he missed the in sane man. The conductor was appealed to, and a search of the train was made, but Charles was still missing. ine wui-.-i tho Bt lnt ri nccunied was opened, and the brother was at last forced to the horrible conclusion that Charles, in a fit of violent insanity, had leaped from the train.

GOING AFTER THE SANTA FE. Assistant Attorney General Purdy to Push Contempt, Case. Washington, D. C, Sept. 29. Milton D. Purdy. assistant to the attorney general of the United States, has re turned from a long trip to Europe, and is again at his desk in the department. Mr. Purdy is at present acting attorney general, Solicitor General Hoyt having gone to Maine for a short vacation. As soon as he can arranae to do so Mr. Purdy expects to go before Judge Phillips in Missouri for a further hear ing of the cases inaugurated by him about three months ago arraigning the Santa Fe and other railroads for con tempt in violating the restraining or der issued aeainst them prohibiting the granting of rebates. Exactly what the next step will be Mr. Purdy does not state; but it is known that he de sires to push action as rapidly as pos sible against the railroads which vio lated the restraining order.

It is alleged in the complaint that officials of the Iron Mountain issued a ENGINEER BATES SUFFERED FROM DEPRAVED BLOOD AND WEAKENED NERVES, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Put Good, Red Wood in Hi Veins and Made. Him i WeU Man. "I used to havegreat deal of trou ble with my skin," says Oscar N. Bates, of Np. iS Doubleday street, Binghamp ton, N. Y. "For four years, every summer, it would break out In itching sores one especially, on my leg, caused me a great deal-of annoyance. The physician whom I employed failed to help me and so I decided to see what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People would do for me: T took them faithfully and in a reasonable time they removed the cause of the trouble. That was eight years ago and I have had no return of It since. "I also was cured of. another more serious trouble by these pills," con tinued Mr. Bates. I am a locomotive engineer and the strain of my work brought on -a nervousness together with an impairment of my eyesight. I would grow dizzy at times, my strength would leave me and I could only sleep for a few moments at a time. But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills soon cured me of this and I think I have good reason to recommend them to all. My daugh ter has also taken thfem and they help ed her greatly." Mr. Bates is a veteran of the Civil war, having served efficiently in Co. E, Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania infantry, and in the Signal Corps, Army of the James, Department of Virginia and North Carolina. He is a member of Post 119, G. A. R., at Oneonta, also a member of U. S. A. Signal Corps Asso ciation and of Division 58, Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. The remedy that cured Mr. Bates went right to the root of his trouble in the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People actually make new blood. Poor blood is the cause of a great many diseases, such as anaemia, headaches, indigestion, nervousness, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, lum bago, and the the special secret ail ments of growing girls and women whose health plainly depends upon the richness and regularity of their blood supply. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a marvelous power to cure all these ailments.

FRISCO FOR HUTCHINSON. Rock Island Improvements Seem to Point That Way. Hutchinson, Kan., Sept 29. Talk of the Frisco railroad running its trains into Hutchinson over the tracks of the Rock Island is revived by the proceed ings now- being taken by the Rock Island to acquire more land about the junction of the two roads at Medora. The Rock Island has begun suit in the district court -to condemn a tract ot land about the crossing. The situation of the tract .described in their petition is such that it would be particularly useful to the two lines should they de sire additional facilities for transfer ring trains from one track to the other. Nothing definite can be learned as yet from the local officials regarding the plans of the two roads. Mr. Hoitz warth, agent for the Rock Island, says his company will build a stock yards and greatly enlarge its switching facil ities on the ground It is acquiring. Another "Y" will be put in. It will thus be seen that the Rock Island will be prepared to handle the Frisco trains whenever It is determined to bring them to this city. Local officials are plainly hoping that this Is the purpose of the improvements though they have no other information on which to base any expectations. RIVER ENCROACHES ON ROAD. Engineers Ijookinjr Over Situation on Colorado Near Needles. Santa Fe engineers are studying the question of protecting the track at a point three miles east of Needles, Cal., where the road has suffered much during the past three years from the inroads made by the flood waters of the Colorado river. The waters have so far encroached as to place the present roadbed at the immediate foot of the gravel bluffs and the further encroachment of the waters of the river mean an extraordinary expense for grading and repair in case of a flood. It has been proposed that wing dams be built so that the current of the river may be thrown towards the Arizona side. The exact results of the engineers' investigotionsare notknown, but the encroachment of the water on the roadbed at a number of places east of Needles is such as to make its consideration a serious one with the engineers of the company. CONDUCTOR'S BAD BREAK. Would Not Move Wreck Passengers Until They Signed Releases. According to the Wellington News, the recent wreck of the Santa Fe Cali fornia Limited at Walton developed a "fool" conductor. "Two of the sleepers in the wrecked train did not leave the track and were practically uninjured, and all of the wounded had been placed in them. It being close to Newton, a claim agent was soon on the ground, making settlements with those who were hurt. The passengers were expecting an engine to come any minute and take them Into New ton, but it did not come.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 29. A trol ley system from the Mississippi river to New- York city is probably under way, judging from the deals in trac tion lines that are now being made. It is said that long distance trolley traveling is made possible by the Standard, oil crowd through their ally, the TTnited Gas Improvement company of Philadelphia. This latter company is working through the Randall-Morgan and Widener-EIkins syndicates of Philadelphia. That Indianapolis will play an Im portant part in the new system is evi denced by the recent acquisition of electric lines by these syndicates. The Randall-Morgan company owns and controls the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal company and also the In diana Union Traction company, which Is the leasing company of the Union Traction company. They are also in terested in a number of other Indiana lines. The Widener-EIkins syndicate at present is controlling the Indian apolis Eastern, Indianapolis Western and Indianapolis North western lines. It is rumored that if present plans mature the Indianapolis Martinsville line will be added to the holdings of the syndicate. ACCUSES PASSENGERS. Kugle Has Six Arrested Becanse He Lost $3,200. Buffalo. N. Y.. Sept. 29. Claiming that he had been robbed of thirty-two hundred dollars while asleep in his birth, Louis J. Kusrle of Manchester, N. H., caused the arrest of six of his rellow passengers on a Delaware, Lackawanna Western train upon its arrival here from New York on Wed nesday. One of the number is a wo man. Kugle said that when he enter ed his berth he placed his roll of bills under a blanket. When he awoke this morning, according to his story, his money was gone. His companions claimed to know absolutely nothing of the alleged rob bery. The police allowed one of the men to go. Those detained are William W. Part ridge, who claims to be proprietor of a dry goods store in New York, and his wife, Frank Spaulding, William J. Keenen and George Blake, book makers. D. E. G. Flirting With Sliawnee. Guthrie, Ok., Sept. 29. Oklahoma City and the Denver, Enid Gulf rail road, which wants to build into that city seem to be having trouble about getting together. In consequence the road has made some overtures to Shawnee, and Oklahoma City people are beginning to get worried for fear the road will go to the latter place. Shawnee has offered the company $50, 000 and terminal grounds, and the proposition is said to be receiving seri ous consideration at the hands of the officials of the road. RAILROAD NOTES. H. G. Kalll, assistant general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, with head quarters at Kansas City, had a conference yesterday with General Passenger Agent Black of the Santa Fe. A. A. Hayes, connected with the freight auditor's department of the Santa Fe, has left on a week's business trip to Pitts burg, Pa. At a banquet given to James J.

I I'he State Journal Is a member of the I Cknooliited Press and receives the full day lJrrapQ -report of that great news or I ffsrJsation for exclusive aiternoon publl- cation in Topeka. j The news a received In the State Jour- 1 building over wires lor fjaia sole pur i o. it 1 i S No, Jasper, a good man and a "good Bellow." are quite apt to be very diff er- -snt. I a, i fffow the charge Is mada that sau sages are adulterated! Can you imag ine what could be put Into sausage to .adulterate it? H' Ewing Herbert announces that he sriil be a candidate for congress if Xhia should really have been printed in the Joke column. I' K Kansas exchange speaks of-ante-grohlbition days. They happened a sgood while ago. Since then we have ad anti-prohibition days. I' EThe shock of those fines was pretty Jiard on the packers, but they will doubtless recover with the help of an advance in the price of beef.

j" Why not exclude the Irish as well as the Chinese asks an eastern lec turer. But what would New Tork and Chicago do for policemen then? Sou will notice that the Chinese did Hot boycott Miss Roosevelt. The world cannot boycott the American girl, al though she sometimes gets boy-caught. I 'A Tammany leader has coined the phrase, "honest graft." That is the kind you get. Dishonest graft Is what it Is when the other fellow gets It. j In Salina a joint case was recently tried before a jury of ten men. It is supposed that number exhausted all the unprejudiced men who could be found. A strike of the anthracite coal min ers is cheduled for next year, which will probably serve as an excuse for the trust to put up the price this fall.

j Governor Hoch went through with the "farce'" again yesterday. He found that the defunct First National bank still has $547,000 of the state's money on deposit. I It Is very kind of the Washington correspondents to determine just what President Roosevelt will have in his message. It will save the president so much trouble. j Bears are coming out of the woods and Interfering with people in Duluth, :but they are not the same variety that sometimes makes trouble on LaSalle street In Chicago. I (Andrew Hamilton refuses to tell all about the $100,000 check he got from the New Tork Life for "prudential rea sons." What's the use of dragging in iaother insurance company? I ffhe Los Angeles Express suggests hat the packers may claim that they aad their fingers crossed when they ild It. Well, lat them serve a few jail .sentences the same way. J Just as like as not in the next cam paign the insurance companies will be Compelled to slip around behind the pampaign committees and sneak their contributions in when the committees fire not looking. rf he Chicago News suggests that as a lucleus for our world's fair, "Kansas already has Senator Burton and the aw river." But in 1911 we will not lave Burton as senator, and we will :ry to keep the Kaw from attempting my of its special stunts at that time. I Hall Caine has concluded not to sprite a novel about the American mil lionaire. He had doubtless discovered j hat so much fiction has already been written about that Individual that an other novel dealing with him will at tract no attention. I A Michigan woman of seventeen has Jbecome the mother of triplets. This jpught to entitle her to a good office in I he congress of mothers, but she won't tet it. She will be so busy taking; care 'f her offsprings as they grow up that ihe will have no time to attend the congress, and the office will probably ro to some old maid. Says the Chicago Journal: '.'Kansas indulging in a vain hope If it thinks t can have a world's fair without a Serman village; also, if it thinks it an have., a German village without eer." That shows that tho :hicago Journal doesn't know as much s It would if it lived in Kansas. What's he matter with a Turner garden and op tea? Ever notice how a name will some mes have a run in the newspapers? ""or instance, a few days ago on a ingle page of the State Journal was long story about Kimmel, the miss ig Arkansas City banker, being found in a New Tork asylum; another story about another Kimmel in connection with baseball matters; and a dispatch announcing a big railroad wreck at Kimmel, Ind. Kimrnel is a rather un usual name, but it has appeared in other connections also during the past few days. FOR. PRESIDENT. If Mr. Roosevelt adheres to his de termination to refuse a renomination for the presidency it devolves upon the nation.to find a man who will continue the good work Roosevelt has inaugu rated a man who believes, in the Roosevelt idea of a square deal and who has the courage and the force to carry it out, and one who is also en dowed with a wisdom that inspires the confidence of the people. What other man now prominent in the Republican party fills these re quirements as fully as does Governor Hanly of Indiana? Without any ad vance notices or limelight display Gov ernor Hanly has demonstrated that he out-Roosevelts Roosevelt in his dis play of backbone in .enforcing the law against corruption, even among his own friends. He has taken a firm stand against corporate greed and the grant ing of Improper favors to corporations, but also against going to the other ex treme of treating corporate interests unjustly. What other man has shown the abil ity and the inclination to carry out the policies that the nation approved in. the election of Roosevelt as has .Governor Hanly? Run over the list of those who have presidential booms Root, Taft, Foraker, Fairbanks, Shaw none of them measure up to the standard -as does Hanly. Some are possessed of undoubted ability but they have been so hedged about with corporate influ ences in the past as to make it difficult for them to break away from those in fluences. Each is qualified In some particular for the presidency, but none of them stand opposed to corporate greed, for the enforcement of law, .for honesty in public affairs, and for the square deal all around, as fully as Gov ernor Hanly. Two acts of Governor Hanly alone have demonstrated his ability and his inclinations. One was his forcing the public officials of Indiana to give up their railroad passes, and the other was the summary ousting of Auditor Sherrick for misuse of the public funds. Here is an estimate of Gove-nor Han ly by the Washington Post, one of the ablest newspapers' of the country, and one which, because of its location, is almost daily given the opportunity to size up" public men. In an editorial headed, "A Govern or of the Rgiht Sort," It says: "Hanly, of Indiana, did not essay the role of a reformer in his campaign for governor. He was not heralded as a Folk or a La Follette. His candidacy offered no promise whatever of unusual achievements. Indeed, he so clearly typified the rough-and-ready Hoosier politician that many good people look ed askance when he was chosen and lugubriously recalled the glorious past, when men truly great presided over the destinies of the state. -"But Hanly has been a surprise and a disappointment all around an agree able surprise to those who expected nothing of moment at his hands and a bitter disappointment to the unscrupu lous party men who counted upon an unswerving allegiance to them and their interests on his part at every stage of his official career. "He is no longer Hanly the man, or Hanly the Republican, but Hanly the governor of Indiana. Unostentatiously, but courageously, he is proceeding to do his duty as it is given him to-sae that duty. His is a simple course, bo cause It is the straight course. No limelight is required to make his pur poses clear. Primarily he stands for enforcement of the law. His subordin ates must be abiding and law-enforcing. Whatever his per sonal judgment may be as to the wisdom of legislative enactment, he conceives it to be his sole duty to see that such laws are honestly admin istered. There is nothing radical or revolutionary in this, even if it is bring ing about a wholesome reformation in the state. "Hanly gave a magnificent exhibition of courage the other day when he sum marily removed from office his friend and colleague, Sherrick, the defaulting auditor. This was a disagreeable duty bravely performed. A governor less honest a politician simply would have shielded his friend and abetted the cov ering up of the scandal, but Hanly re fused to permit personal friendship or partisan welfare to control him in the least when public duty confronted him. He thus displayed the qualities that de veloped Weaver, of Philadelphia, from a machine-made politician into a model executive. "The country doubtless will hear more of Hanly. He is worth keeping an eye upon." If Mr. Roosevelt is bound to retire at the close of his present term, why is not Governor Hanly the best man to succeed him? NOMINATING A SENATOR. There is some agitation just now in favor of havins the next Republican state convention nominate a candidate for United States senator to succeed Burton, with the idea that the legisla ture would be bound to carry out the decision of the convention. It would not, of course, be legally binding on the legislature, and circumstances can be -Imagined where the legislature would refuse to stand for it, but under ordinary circumstances the man nomi nated would be elected by the legisla ture, providing, of course, that that body had a Republican majority. There are arguments both for and against this plan. So far as the out come of the senatorial contest itself is concerned it might make little differ ence. The candidate that could pos sibly pack the legislature or influence it against the will of the people would be just as likely to influence or pack a state convention in the same way. Rail road influence would be just as great in a convention as in the legislature, possibly more so. But if the question were decided by a convention the sen atorial contest would be removed from the legislature, and the weeks that are usually wasted in a senatorial squabble would be saved, and the baneful in fluences and combinations that result would be avoided. On the other hand the senatorial contest, if thrown into the state! con vention, would be likely to overshadow the selection of a governor, to the detriment of the state In securine a good state government. The delega tions from, some counties would be chosen with the senatorship in view. while in others the contest for gover nor or some other state office would overshadow it. s The legislative branch of the govern ment is just as important as the ex ecutive, however, and by removing the senatorial contest from the legislature, members of that body would be nomi nated strictly with certain legislation in view and not .with regard to elect ing a certain candidate United States senator, as Is now the case in many counties. Tet it might work the"other way in extreme cases. Suppose, for. instance, through the. manipulation of politics a bad or unpopular candidate' for sena tor should be named by the conven tion. The' candidates for the legisla ture of that party would feel bound to vote for the nominee of the conven tion, and this might lead to the defeat of those legislative candidates in close counties. j JOURNAL ENTRIES It's a good thing Norway didn't ask for alimony along with the divorce or there would sure have been trouble. The lid is just bound to -come off soon the straw lid. The telegraph dispatches must have been mistaken in reporting the home coming of M. Witte: Nothing was said about his kissing all the other men.

This is the time of year when the sun gets like the rest of us a little slow, about getting up in the morning.

A-learned.-professor has defined a college education- as "a transformation from an indefinite, incoherent homo geneity to a definite, coherent homo geneity by a series of differentiations." Now everybody will be more anxious than ever to get two or three of them. Let us be thankful that Russia sent M. Witte over here as her peace tleni potentiary instead of M. Wyschnegrad sky, who met him at the depot on his return.

It is really astonishing what a fine examination for entrance into college a comparatively ignorant young man can pass if he happens to be good ma terial for the football team. Savoyard, in the Washington Post, says: "The world forgets that one Michael Angelo. one Beethoven, one Cervantes, one Shakespeare, one Mo liere, is worth more to civilization than a hundred victories like Waterloo, or Sedan, or Torktown. or Gettysburg. Garrick was worth more to England than Coutts' Bank, and Balzac was more to France than Rothschild." If this is true, think how much more a poet like Dr. Roby is worth to Topeka than a warrior like General Hughes. JAYHA WKER JOTS The most interesting occurrence in Leavenworth recently, according to the Post, was a fight between Joe Cranton's two bull dogs. The fight was a draw. "If there is no hell," soliloquizes Deacon Satterthwaite o the Douglass Tribune, as he glances around him, "there is a vast amount of raw mater ial goinz to waste." F. W. Biewster, who was formerly employed on the Iola Register,' but who has been out of the state for some time, has returned to Kansas and purchased an interest in the Iola Record. Blanche Boies and Myra McHenry will undoubtedly contest the claim of that Girard saloon smasher to the title of "a second Carrie Nation." They both have claims ahead of the Girard wo man. In packing her goods to move recent ly a Belleville woman found a quart of grapes and a can of mulberries that were "put up" twenty years ago. They were wen preserved. It is evident that there were no small boys in that house hold to make raids on the canned fruit. Standing-up-far-Kansas story by Bent Murdock: There were twenty-two Pullmans and two diners in the belated double-header train that was seven hours late, on its way into Portland. It was eleven o'clock and many of the passengers had not been to breakfast. They were "lined un" in the vestibule, waiting waiting for breakfast. A charming woman crowded her way well up to the diner and tapDing an El Dorado girl on the arm, said: "Will you be so kind as to step aside and permit me to get into the dining car? We belong to the 'governor's party.' "What governor?" inquired the El Dorado fair damsel. "I see the gover nor of Texas and several other gover nors are or. the train." "The governor of Colorado." she rerjlied with much asperity. "Which governor," retorted the El Dorado girl. "There are Gover nor Adams, Governor Peabody and Governor McDonald." "We are the Governor McDonald party and would like to get to the dining car." "I am Angelina Clementina Sunflower of Kan sas and am just as hungry as the gov ernor of Colorado," charmingly replied our El Dorado girl and the crowd clapped their hands and shouted, "hur rah for Kansas." Col. Rowan "Who carried the news to Garcia" was in the vestibule with the hungry crowd; and while quietly congratulating our E Dorado girl for "standing up for Kan sas" asked her if she wouldn't give up her place in the line to the governor of Kansas. "Not on your life," she replied.- "My county made Hpch gover nor and he has treated the people who made it possible for him to be elected most shamefully; and I certainly would not give way for him. He is an 'in grate.' I have stood here for an hcur, Kansas 4 money is as eood as Colorado money, besides all Colorado at one time belonged to Kansas" and the hand clapping and the cheering was renewed with more viiror than ever--ani right here Col. Rowan offered his arm to Miss Angelina Clementina Sunflower and they went into the twelve o'clock breakfast together, while the "gover nor's party," remained in the vestibule waiting the "last call for the dining car." QUAKER REFLECTIONS, From the Philadelphia Record.1 Useless thievery is exemplified in the fellow who would steal a kiss when the girl is perfectly willing to give him one. Before a woman asks her husband to beat the carpet, and wants him to make a good job of it, she should get him sood and mad.

KANSAS COMMENT f SOME COMMENTS.; The discovery of a boom in the possession- of Mr. J. R.v Burrow, secretary of Estate," for' the i Republican guberna torial nomination next year merely con firms -the Herald' sh statement frequently- asserted since the noise over state (politics has", been making itself heard. The men who are, "after" Hpch with the determined purpose tso "do" him are the men who established the revolution against Bailey in Horn's behalf. Mr. Stubbs' senatorial boom has driven him into an alliance with Hoch, and the same influence has persuaded the "Moses of the reform movement" to take back most of the impetuous things he said about the governor in news paper interviews a short time ago. But with this conspicuous exception and this is an alliance of personal interest and not sentiment the men who brought Hoch out are seeking another change, while the men who stood by Bailey are insisting on a fair show for the governo.-, with a chance to make good. Ottawa Herald. o IP: A Topeka paper says that Tom Kelly will make a great effort to defeat Gov ernor Hoch for renomination. This is probably true, but if Governor Hoch will just give some evidence of having a spinal column Tom Kelly's efforts will be futile. Concordia Blade. JAPANESE AND DEMOCRAT!. The Japanese war party is still adopt ing "ringing protests" against the jeaee treaty, but since the peace treaty is al ready signed and the war has ended, the protests have little weight.

POT AND KETTLE. 1 Judge Parker and the Democrats cannot make partisan capital out of the New York Life's gifts to the Re publican campaign funds. Beyond question some insurance companies also gave money to the Democrats. There were other contributions of equal impropriety. Mr, Perkins, can not defend his paymeht-of New Tork Life to Mr. Bliss on the ground that it was necessary- to protect insurance as sets from the Democratic party. To use the 'money of policy holders to promote the success of any party was dishonorable and corrupt. There is no partisanship in corruption. It men aces every party in menacing' the na tion. Decent men of all parties should unite in demanding state and federal corrupt practices acts to stop the evil. New York World. o -THE PERIL OF. A REFORMER. To a public man who Is doing what he was elected to office to do that is to say, his duty without fear or favor it must be exasperating to know that when he travels or walks the streets he needs protection other than is afforded by the organized police. This realization has come to Governor Hanly," of Indiana, who forced Audi tor Sherrick to resign for misusing the public funds, and who is making war on all forms of graft and Incom petence. Governor Hanly, while making a tour of northern Indiana, noticed that he was being "shadowed" by a stranger, or rather that the man was always near his person in an at titude of expectancy and alertness. It got on the governor's nerves after a while, and he asked the man to ex plain. The stranger said he was a Pinkerton detective, and had been sent down from Chicago to protect the governor's person. By whom, he would not say, and he refused to leave his post of duty. It is supposed that he was engaged by the Good Citizens' league. At any rate, some person, or some civic body, is apprehensive that an attempt may be made on Governor Hanly's lif and called upon the de tective agency for a guard. The prov ocation for an attack upon -ihe gov ernor could only be the fearless work he has done as a reformer. Like Gov ernor Folk, he insists upon the en forcement of the laws, whatever .in terests may suffer or individuals be offended. He has made war upon the gamblers and the excise violators, and has antagonized other lawless ele ments. A man of blameless life him self and Spartan in the. sternness of his ethical code, he is not disposed to compromise with vice or tolerate "vested interests" that batten upon it. The reform governor of Indiana is, therefore, heartily hated in some quarters and may be in danger of in jury at the hands of a hired thug. New Tork Sun. ADVICE FROM CHICAGO. Topeka, Kan., proposes to hold a world's fair in 1911, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the admission of the state to the Union. It is proposed to expend $2,00p,000 on the exposition, and if the world's fair feature of it could be dropped it would doubtless prove beneficial to Kansas and the west.

Paris Banks and Thumb Prints. One of the most recent developments of the system of police identification methods of M. Bertillon, who has done so much in that direction, is the "spoken portrait." The idea is by a minute analysis of the face from a photograph to so describe a man that even if you never saw him' you would recognise him at once from the analytical details sup plied. The ,nose, for example, is divid ed into three general categories, largs, medium and small, which in turn are subdivided into concave, rectangular and convex. The ears, the lips and other features are treated in the same way and the eyes ar the subject of very elaborate description. The details thus obtained are added to a dossier containing the thnmb-prints and other human documents concerning criminals, and the result is a personal record which leaves a prisoner who has once Thppn in t Vi c a -j nf u rturt UUUUO V ytLlT ,CJJ little chance of passing unrecognized.! x nai ine system nas been proved to be a serviceable one is evident from the fact that in the Paris police force M.

I have never heard anything that compares with the misfortune that overtook Ma lone Joyce in New Tork last Christ mas," declared Charlie Miles, of the Milwaukee road. "Joyce, you know. represents the Colorado Midland in Southern California. He was in New York last Christmas, and wandered into the new Astor hotel for dinner, The cafe was in holiday attire, and there was a long table laden with ap petizing luxuries and delicacies that would have made a feast of Lucullus look like coffee and doughnuts. When Joyce entered the cafe the head waiter invited him to inspect the wonderful display; but it made his mouth water and filled his soul with regret. So he cut it short,1 sat down at a table and ordered mutton chops. When he was through with his meal he summoned the waiter and asked for a check. "There Is no charge," said the jvaiter.

It was the old story of a murder, circumstantial evidence, a legal duel between the state atorney and coun sel for the defense, with a defeat for the latter and an innocent man sen tenced to death. How a few days before the sentence was to. have been carried out he got out of jail was never, certainly known, though it was admitted at the prison that his wife was admitted to see him, and when she went away a keeper re marked that she looked taller than when she went in, and another, seeing her get on to a trolley car, noticed that she wore heavy boots. The rest of the story goes that the wife was found locked in the prisoner's cell alone. He had been hiding during the day and had heard them beating the bush all about him. Several times he be lieved that in a few minutes he would be dragged from his hiding place. But while men are much more intelligent than dogs there are cases where dogs may throw men into a contrast of stu pidity. His pursuers could not smell him. Night came, and under its friendly cover he left a region where he was known to be and must certainly be discovered on the morrow, if not dur ing the night. Crawling under bushes between two men set to watch for him, he stole through their line and ran with all thet strength he had left after two days fast till he came to a farm house. There, knowing that he must have food for strength to struggle fur ther, he went boldly in, asked for a supper and at his fill. Then he start ed on with oner and only one, advan tage strength. But his chances were growing less. Suddenly he stumbled into depres sion and fell. His hands struck smooth iron and he knew he was on a railroad. He got up and walked on the track, soon coming to a point where he could see a station a few hundred yards from him. It was lighted, and a single man walked back and forth on the platform. The fugi tive watched him, suspecting that he was there to prevent his escape by train. If he could only get aboard without the man seeing him he would have a further and a better chance than before to escape. A way train came along and stopped at the station, but it was closely watched, and he did not dare try to get on. The watcher went through it, and when it had gone left the station. Doubtless there could be no other train for some time. Two hours passed. A man drove up to the -station in a buggy and dragged a big bag to a post beside the track a short distance from the station and attached it to a beam projecting from the post. It was the -mail bag placed in position to be caught by an express train. There is no suclv, nourisher of ideas as self preservation. All that man is today may Le traced to his one in stinct. The hunted man knew that by and by an express train would pass. an iron hoolc on the mail car would be adjusted and catch the bag around the center and it would be caught and swung into the car. The idea flashed into the fugitive's brain. "Can I be swung on to the tram with this-bag?" He calculated the chances, and concluded that they were about as follows: Death, ninety; thrown beside the track maimed, nine; taken in alive and recovering from wounds, one. -s While he was deliberating there came from a distance the bark of a dog, fol lowed by another and another till their number was lost in a confusion of bay ing. His pursuers had secured blood hounds and his eapture was now cer tain. Hark the. distant rattle of a train! It must be the express. The man's mind is made up.. He will take the one chance, in a hundred. When his wife had taken his place in prison she had brought him a rope and a knife. These were all the ar ticles he had asked for and he had had as yet no use for them. Taking the rone from his pocket, he went to the post, stood on a platform beneath it and began -to lash himself to the bag. He first tied a part of the rope around the bottom of the bag, then lashed his body under his arms to the upper part of the bag and, lastly, wormed his feet into the rope about the bottom. This left his middle free. The barking of the- dogs and the rattle of the train came nearer, though from different directions. It was the train alone in which he was interested. Having finished his lashing, he turned with the bag, which, finally settling, brought his face to the track: With out this his one chance would have been lost. As the train thundered near he bent his body like a bow. When the hook struck the bag it struck out his consciousness. When he regained his senses he was lying on the floor of the mail car with sev eral trainmen standing over him. His pursuers would not have known him, for his face was drenched in blood. All he knew was that he was alive, aboard the car and there was hope. When he reached the city the train men offered to call an ambulance for him, but he said he felt strong enough to get home alone. He got upon his feet and, resisting with all his will a disposition to faint, staggered out of the car. When he had passed the gate without being stopped he seemed to gather new vigor, walked briskly out of the station and boarded a trolley. He has never been heard from by the police., but his friends aver that he and his wife are living under an assumed name in a foreign land. CHARLOTTE SHERWOOD. fiLOBF. SIGHTS.

This dying would be a great deal less horrible if people, like the fish In the water, were hooked and lifted up out of sight. The fashion in-boys never changes: they all want something to eat. The fashion in mothers does: they don't always get it. An Atchison man says a woman went to his wife the other day and told her a lot of lies about him.

An en thusiastic meeting was held Thursday morning at the Washburn chapel, and 700 tickets were Issued to the students. These tickets are good for the entire season, and this insures the presence of the entire student body at all games. The Washburn students have seats In a body in the west bleachers. One section of the west bleachers has been reserved for Topeka people for the jrame tomorrow. These seats are all reserved by number, and can be purchased at Stansfleld's. Each ticket is issued for a special seat this year, which is different from the sys tem in past years, when a person had to take his or her chances on getting a good location in the grand stand. All of the i movable bleachers have been transferred to the west side of the field, and will be available for use at this game. The teams will line up as follows: Emporia. Position. Washburn. F.idson R. K Munford Marple K. T...snarp, ixcKwooa "Veomans O King C Bartholomew L. G Kverett L. F Altman L. K A. Culbertson Q Payne R. H Huffman L. H Long F. B Williams, Page Emporia substitutes: W. Culberton, Snod dy. I.alovptte, Rankin, Lyons, Wilson. Washburn substitutes: Robb, Brockett, Templeton. I. Haughey, Hope. Johnson, IX Munford, Snattinger, Hartzell, Bock; The officials for the game have not yet been chosen, but it is not anticipa ted that there will be any difficulty in arriving at an agreement. In the lineup of the Kmporia player?, as sent in by their manager, there are six men who were in last year's game. They are Payne, Everett, Marple, A. Culbertson. Eidson and W. Culbertsou, though W. Culbertson is now on the substitute list. Last year he played fullback. Payne, who played right end last year. Is at right half this year. Eidson has been shifted from left half to right end. Everett has moved from center to tackle, and Marple and Culbertson are still playing the positions tney neia last season. Missing from the Emporia line are three men who played the star game for Emporia last season. They are Clint Simcson. the 217 pound tackle, Kirk, the negro halfback, and -Lehman, who was at end last year, and made a lot of trouble for the Washburn inter ference. In the game last year, Simp son and Kirk were about the only men on the Emporia team who could gain on offense. Indications are. therefore, that Em nnria has not gained much strength nnd that Washburn ought to have a comparatively easy victory, though the score last year was 10 to 0. On the other hand, Washburn's team is very different from the one which met Emporia on September 30 of 1904. The following men who played in that game will not play tomorrow: stewari, Louthan. Dadisman, Lakin, Thrailkill Millice. Caldwell. Cunningham. Several new men will be given a chance in the Washburn line. One is Ware, a husky youth who was in school last year but did not play. An other is Loc kwood, who may be given a trv at tackle. Williams will be shifted to fullback for this game. It is likely that this will be a temporary arrangement, as Williams is needed at tackle. But as Caldwell is ineligible for this game, which is under Topeka conference rules, and as Millice has not yet re turned to school, the backfield will be about the same as It was in the Tope ka high school game. Williams has been shifted back there to give it more weight. Williams is playing a very fast game this year, and would go well at fullback as a permanent thing. It is said that Millice will probably be back from Chicago within the next .day or two. His parents state that he has no intention of at nding Chicago university, but that he will be enrolled at Washburn within a few days. Even without Caldwell and Millice to add speed to the backfield, Washburn should win the game tomorrow by a Etore of upwards of 20 to 0. CANNIBAL. FEAST. Two Native Traders Waylaid and Slaughtered for rood. Victoria, B. C, Sept. 29. News of a cannibal feast by blacks at Mallicol was received yesterday by the Miowera. Two natives of Moskelyn island were trading when they were waylaid near Miowera by cannibals; they were slaughtered and their bodies carried to a coast village where they were opened as game and prepared for a feast. The bodies were placed in a native canoe and as the murderers were leav ing they incurred the suspicion of M. Vioforez, a French trader. The natives told him they had killed some pigs and the Frenchman let them go. It subse quently transpired that the tribes were assembled and a feast of human flesh was held. White settlers learned of this and under pressure it was admitted that they had roasted the bodies and de voured the arms and legs of the un fortunate men.

The application for a new twenty year franchise of the Leavenworth Light Heating company, which owns the gas and electric light' plants here, was con sidered by the council. An ordinance submitted at a previous meeting was amended by cutting down the price of street arc lights from $84 a year to $70, cutting the price of electricity to consumer to twelve cents a kilowat; requiring that natural gas be sold at from thirty to forty cents 1,000- feet; that the company be required to fur nish meters free and to pay for an inspector appointed by the city and that in addition the company give the city $100,000 bonus, to be paid in twenty annual instalments. The rep resentative of the company refused to accept these provisions or consider them and walked out of the council chamber as the votes were taken on the final amendment. The franchise of the company expires a year from next April. The Leavenworth Light Heating company has arranged to furnish nat ural gas here and the connection with a pipe line from Bonner Springs and the city mains will be made in October. The representatives of the company say that they can furnish natural gas under the present franchise without waiting to secure a new one. It is be lieved that natural gas will be in use here by November 1. 1 SNAPSHOTS AT HOME NEWS.

There is ne danger that K, U. will break off with Washburn. It is a erood same for both schools; finan cially, it is one of the best games of the year. K. U, gets a $500 guaranty. rain or shine. The following is the dispatch sent out from Lawrence about the attair: "These rumors were published in several newspapers and they have not onlv aroused the wrath of Kennedy but also of the faculty and the student body of the university. Yesterday at Lawrence there was talk of canceling the Washburn game afld one of the members of the faculty interested in athletics was heard-to. say that he would use hia power to sever athletic relations with the Topeka college after the game to be played, with it this season. "'If this was the first time the Washburn people had tried to hurt our reputation it wouldn't be. so bad,' he said. I.ast year and the year before they started cock-and-bull stories quite as impossible and iuntruthf ul as this one. People of Topeka, and particularly- those who have anything to do with Washburn, know perfectly well that Kennedy is upright and sports manlike in everything. He coached the Washburn team two years and therefore they know what his charac ter is ..They know that -he couldn't possibly be guilty of this thing they charere him with. There is no cdllege in the country trying harder to uphold the spirit or amateur athletics tnan Kansas and such stories as these do us great injustice.' "The university management were at first inclined to treat the matter lightly this morning, but in talking it over the board decided that Washburn, as well as other teams of the slate who have been trying to tie up--the univer sity athletics by forcing rules on them and then trying to back out of the rules, did not have much margin for criticism of the Jayhawkers. 'We don't need these- teams for our schedule, and if they persist in makine and breaking rules in order to get the better of K. U. and then bring up ragged accusations trying to put the public at outs with K., U. athletics they may play with teams who will stand for their kind of work.' "These were the approximate words of Manager Lansdon and the rest 61 the board of control relt the same con cerning the matter.

I don't want the people who don't know me to be lieve them either. As" a matter of fact, none of these players mentioned would be eligible to play at Washburn this year under a strict interpretation of the amateur rules. Whoever start ed the story did a dastardly and a cowardly thing.

A bomb filled with both dynamite and a quantity of f Inflammable oil was thrown at the rear of a crowded tenement house at Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Forty-third street early today. More 'than a score of persons who were t. sleeping at the time were hurled from their beds by the explosion and two or three of them were carried from th-2 house unconscious. Within a minute J after the explosion flames nearly en F veloped the rear walls of the tenement I house. The police believe that "Black r Hand" Italian assassins threw the 1 bomb.

Ripley Throws a JBonib at Lire Stock Kate Hearing. He Claims It Costs More to Haul Dressed Beef Than Cattle. Chicago, Sept. 29. Testimony in di rect onDosition to the evidence given by western railroad officers, in the suit brought by the interstate commerce commission against eighteen railroads for alleged discrimination in the rates on live stock and live stock products, was given today before Judge Bethea by E. P. Ripley, president of the Atcti ison. ToDeka Santa. Fe. President Ripley declared that the rate on dressed beef between Kansas City and Chicago should be 150 per cent higher than the rate on live stock. He said that it costs less 10 carry live stock than packing' house products, and submitted statistics in support of his contention. "The packing house business today is so highly organized In so few hands that this fact together with the keen competition between the railroad prac tically makes it possible for them to dictate rate for beef and packing house products," said Mr. Ripley. "Freight rates have always been based on the value of service furnished the shipper rather than on the actual cost of trans portations." The witness then read a table of sta tistics showing the cost of hauling car load lots of live stock, dressed beef and packing house products from Kansas City to Chicago. According to the fig ures submitted by Mr. iRpley the ex pense to the Santa Fe road for hauling a car oS dressed meat irom liansas City to Chicago is $82.19, packing house products $85.03. and live stock $64.77. President Ripley claimed that his com pany lost on every car of dressei beef hauled between Kansas City and Chi cago. "My opinion based on a study of the subject and years of experience in the railroad business," continued President Ripley, "is that the rate on live stock should not be higher ttian the rate on dressed beef and packing house prod ucts. The only exception to this is when conditions arise which make it necessary for the roads to change rates. Strictly speaking and under normal conditions the rate on dressed beef should be 150 per cent higher than on live stock. It costs the roads 40 per cent less to handle cattle than it does to handle dressed beef in refrigerators." TO IGNORE TARIFF. President Will Not Take Time From More Important Measures. Washington, Sept. 29. There will be no revision of the tariff recommended by President Roosevelt in his forth coming annual message, according to members of the cabinet in Washington. The treasury needs all the revenue it can get to meet current expenses, and besides there are too many other im portant questions engaging the atten tion of Roosevelt which cannot be sac rificed at this time. Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture said today the farmers of the west are behind the president in his efforts to secure railroad rate legis lation and will show their approval of his policy by retiring to private life any of their representatives who fail to act in accordance with the president's wishes. The secretary just has returned from a trip through the Dakotas, Iowa, and other middle western states. The farm ers, according to the secretary, are more interested in the railroad rate legisla tion than they have been in anything for years. CITY ADDITION IS APPROVED. It Extends From Sardou Avenue to Soldier Creek. The streets and walks committee of the city council met last evening. The addition to North Topeka, which Coler Co. have platted, was recommended to the city council as meeting all re quirements of the city ordinances governing the platting of additions to the city. The plat runs from Sardou avenue in North Topeka to Soldier creek and is bounded on the north and south by the Union Pacific rail road right of way and the Kansas river. In addition the city the committee recommended the creation of a benefit district of the west half of tle block on Smith street between Seventh and Eighth streets for the purpose of a 90 foot strip of land from the east front ing lots to widen the street. Think Expense Provided for Is Unwarranted. MR. B.F. PANKEY TALKS Manager of Independent Com pany Points 'Out Weakness. Injustice of the 50 Cent In spection Fee. The Independent and Bell telephone companies of the city object strongly to portions of the proposed electrical inspection ordinance w hich comes up for recommendation before the electric lights and gas committee of the city council. They are objecting especially to three different sections. The one section provides for a charge of inspection of 50 cents per hour, for all jobs of inspection of telephone wir ing. Another section calls for the issuance of a permit by the city's electrician ev ery time a change is made in telephone wiring or in installation. The third sec tion which invokes criticism gives the cHy electrician the power to remove or cause to be removed all dead wiring in the city. A charge is also made against C. E. Eldridge, manager of the fire insurance rating bureau. It is claimed that by having a city inspector of electrical wiring, Eldridge will be able to do away with considerable c his own work of inspection here in Topeka and in conse quence be able to cut down his off 4 e expense of engaging the services of electrical inspectors. B. F. Pankey, manager of the? Inde pendent Telephone company, said: "I don't think very much of the whole or dinance. I don't believe that the city will secure enough in the way of fees to pay the salary of an inspector, I don't believe the office will be self sustaining. We don't, object to the in spection part or having our wiring in spected, but we do object to being forced to pay E0 cents an hour to a city inspector for going over our work. We are very careful in .putting in all of our wiring. We have to be, it is to our interest to do so. The best men that we have eot are sent out to do the wiring. Then again the telephone wire does not carry enough voltage to burn a building. You could put your tongue on one of our wires and you would sue fer no injury. "Even if one of the wires should come in contact with another wire, such as a trolley wire, no injury would result and no fire would be occasioned. The wire would simply be burnt in two so quick that all you would see would be a flash. I don't believe that telephone wires ever caused a house or building to be set on fire. All of our wiring is done in accordance with the code used by the insurance companies and our wiring is done on the most improved plan. "We know our wiring is right and we would simply be paying out 50 cents an hour to a city inspector for work which already meets the ap proval of the insurance companies. There is no wav bv which we can charge up this inspection fee to our patrons and we have to bear it our selves. This works an injustice be cause the electric light companies simply bring their wires to the build ing and all of the interior work done by electrical construction firms which can charge in the cost of in spection in their hill against the user of electric light or power. It is not fair or even. The people bear this burden of inspection fees, it is not the construction firms in the city. You can rest assured of that. "It's impossible, too, to enforce this matjer of permits-. Often we are called upon to make a small change in the placing of the telephones. A house is getting papered and we have to move the phone for the time. Probably a man wants his telephone changed from one position on his desk to another. They are just little changes yet every time we do that we have to take out a permit. We make on an average of about 10 changes during the day, it would consume most of our time running after a permit. And we would have to pay 50 cents an nour tor the time of the city elec trician for inspecting these small changes. We do them as a matter of accommodation and we could not af ford to pay the inspection fee and the user of the telephone would not stand ror the extra expense if we charged him up with it. We couldn t do business if an at tempt should be made to enforce that part about dead wiring. We have to have some dead wiring, we couldn't do business unless we did. There are times when something goes wrong with one of the cables. All we do is to hitch on to some of our dead wires and everything is all right, it is done so quick you can't notice it. But if we did not have those dead wires some of this service would be cut out for a half a day. You can well believe that we are not going to leave any dead wires if we haven't got some use for them, copper wire is too expensive to leave hanging. I don't believe that the ordinance will have any effect in lowering the insurance rates and I simply believe that It is a scheme on the part of Mr. Eldridge to have the 50c Music Folios 33c Any 4 Folios $1.00 Week ending October 6th.

It's a sure thins that that ordinance won't go in this way unless it is modified some. We weren't consulted at all when it was drawn up." Councilman S. T. Howe, who is dis trict manager of the Bell Telephone company, points' c out the objections to the ordinance which Pankey cites. "I don't think that the ordinance is practi cable in a number of instances as it now stands," said he. There is no right or justice in forcing us to pay an in spection fee of 50 cents per hour when all our wiring is very carefully done in accordance with the code. We are put to considerable expense in making our wiring as perfect as possible. Lv ery change that we make must meet with the approval of the engineers at Kansas City and I am sure the work is gone over more carefully then it would even if inspected by a city in spector. I haven't examined the ordin ance very .carefully but it seems to me that too much power is given to an In spector. He shouldn't be granted the power to order relocations at entirely his own discretion. It seems to me that it might be a scheme on the part of Mr. Eldridge to have the city look after some of this inspection which the insurance companies have been paying for. We haven't got any objec tion to an Inspection, or to the passage of such an ordinance in general, but we do think that it. is not right to force us to pay an inspection fee. I am opposed to having tne city appoint a special man for that position. The city has sufficient burdens already without assuming additional ones. I believe Mr. Chaney, the plumbing in spector, is fully capable of handling the position, though it might be necessary to appoint an assistant to mm. An effort is being made to place mis department with Fire Marshal Wil marth's department. This does not meet with the approval of a number of the councilmen who think that the head of the fire" department has enough to take, care of now without assuming additional burdens. ALLEN ISNT FUSSING. Says He Won't Quarrel With Cyrus Iceland. FIRST NATIONAL SUIT. Hackney Co. Ask for $18,700 Ie posited After Bank Was Failing. The first suit of what may be an al most endless litigation In the First National bank case was filed today by Hackney Co., of the Topeka Mills, who ask for a judgment of $18,741.43 against Receiver Bradley of the First National bank. The claim is made that this money should have been considered a- trust fund because it was deposited within two days prior to the failure of the bank and when the officers knew the bank was in a failing condition. The comptroller of the currency has held that this money must all go into the regular deposits and that it could not be considered in any sense a pre ferred claim. The comptroller held, however, that where checks on out of town banks had been deposited and had not been collected they should be returned. One Topeka firm in this way saved $22,000. The attorneys in the suit are Wheeler Switzer and Austin Run gate. The probabilities are that 5t will be followed by suits of other creditors of the bank, who deposited money after the bank was in a failing condition. Henry Allen was In town today, hav ing just come up from Miami county where he attended the county fair at Paola. Asked whether he cared to make any statement about the Cy Leland charge concerning the division of the profits of the state printing office, Mr. Alien said: "I don't propose to get into a fuss with Mr. Leland at this time; things are all very peaceable down in our dis trict, and it will not do me any good to go out and manufacture trouble. In the past whenever I have come out with statements to the public, there have always been people who would say: 'There's where you made a great mistake; you ought to keep still and not answer back.' So this time I will keep still. Later on I may have some thing to say about this matter." Mr. Allen says that things are look ing very favorable for him, and that he is running like a terrified cottontail. FOR OIL AT VINEWOOD. Coronailo Company Puts Up Drilling Rig Near the Park.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY, EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1003 9 MR. HARRIS EXPLAINS. Mr. the had Shows Why Shortage Is Shown In Cm. A. JR. Emporia, Kan., Sept. 29. In an in terview here today Past Department Commander Chas. Harris stated that there is no shortage in the accounts on funds of last year's administration of the department of Kansas G. A. R. After the accounts had been audited, a small sum of money still remained in the hands of Adjutant General Be dell; some $12 which had not been turned over but which was accounted for as being In his hands. Later it was found that a check sent to Cherry vale? as settlement in the tent account had not reached the parties it was sent to. This amount, 128.20, hud been checked as paid. When Bedell's attention was called to fact that the Cherrvvale people not received the check sent them he assumed the debt and told the audit ing committee that he would make the matter good. In all there was some $60 which Bedell has assumed to pay. As to unpaid bills left over from the last administration there can be no discussion. Whether they were paid by one administration or the other is immaterial, as all the bills are paid from the same funds and if one bill happened to lay over, it made no difference, as the cash to pay it was turned over to the next administra tion. The only bill not-paid so far as Mr. Harris knew was one of $100 for a badge for Past Department Comman der Smith, which it was supposed had been paid by Smith's administration. Past Adjutant General Bedell is re sponsible for the amount named above and has assumed the debt and he has been accepted by the council of ad ministration for it. Past Department Commander Harris, while he has never handled a cent "of the funds, considers himself, as the head of the order at the time, responsible and on learning of the matter, assured Com mander Coney that he would see that the amount w4s paid. llam said to him: 'I accord you the same honor as I would to a crowned head. Tou have accomplished extra ordinary things and I congratulate you. If monarchs had many such true men as you, there would be much more good done to civilization.' CLEVER SWINDLE. W. Y. MORGAN IS HERE. Reiterates That He Isn't a Candidate for Congress. W. T. Morgan arrived in Topeka to day to spend 24 hours paying his re spects to his -Topeka mends. "I have several reason for coming at this time," he says. "In the first place. 1 .had not been here since my return from Europe; second, because my as sistant, Walter Johnson, is planning to go away on his vacation soon; and third, because my wife is house clean ing this week. "I am not a candidate for congress; I told people before I went away that 1 wouldn t be a candidate, and I still insist that I'm not, in spite of what the newspapers say. I may come back to the legislature, but that is just our own little neighborhood affair. "I think that after writing all those letters home from Europe I ought to i? relieved of the charge of being a politician, and be received back into the newspaper fraternity in good stand ing. I used to sit up late at night writ ing those things by tallow candle light, while my wife kept insisting that I go to bed. They seem to heCi been well received down home. Moore, the manager of our paper, who does not ever read any of the stutt on tne eai torial page if he can help it, has even suggested that we get out a eneap ea tion of the letters in book form, and use It for a piemium for new subscrib ers instead of a buggy whip. He says it would have a buggy whip beat to death. That's "a pretty high testimon ial for a business manager, I think." What the Kaiser Said to AVitte. Berlin. Sept. 2.

WORKING WOSVIEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier Interesting State ments by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some .in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling' and dis placements of the womb, leucorrhoea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of "monthly periods," causing back ache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorat ing, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to Bee a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Orser of 14 Warreuton Street, Boston, tells women how to aroid raci suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I suffered misery for several years with irregular menstruation. My back ached; I had hearing down pains, and frequent head aches; I could not sleep and could hardly drag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to my surprise, every ache and pain left me. I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health." Miss Pearl Ackers of 327 North Sum mer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the abdomen was very nervous and irrita ble, and my trouble grew worse every month. Sly physician failed to help me and I decided to try Lydia E. Pinltham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and I no longer fear my monthly periods." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bear ing down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society all symptoms of the one cause will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and welL You can tell the story of your suf ferings to a woman, and receive help ful advice free of cost.

Humphreys today sustained the demurrer filed by U. S. District Attor ney Morrison to the pleas In abate ment made by packers seeking to have indictments for alleged restraint of trade declared void. Judge Hum phrey said he made his decision on broad grounds without taking Into consideration technicalities which the government advanced against the plea in abatement. It is likely that the Jury of the trial will be drawn about the middle of Oc tober. After the decision had been given the defending attorneys tried to amend the fourth plea by the insertion of the word "For." This met with resistance from the district attorney but the court promised that if the law was clear on the point be would allow it. The gov ernment is said to fear a trick in the insertion of one word. The district at torney moved that the defendants plead to the indictment. It was announced that a demurrer is to be filed by the packers, attacking the face of the en tire indictment as far as defects and insufficient allegations are concerned. The defendants were ordered by the court to plead next Thursday morning, the pleadings to be taken up on argu ment before Judge Humphrey by the following Monday. In the meantime a bill of exceptions is to be prepared by the defendants to the ruling made by Judge Humphrey today. Exceptions were taken by all of the defendants to the court's ruling' on every count in the plea. This was for the purpose appeal of the trial. One of the points in tne pleading which attracted considerable attention and which the court declared had given him some difficulty was in regard to the. rights of Judge S. "H. Betheu to re ceive the return of the indictment. It was argued by the defense that he was sitting in the eastern division of the northern district of Illinois and received an indictment voted in the northern division of the northern district of Illi nois. The district attorney, declared If the law of March 3, 1905, which cre ated the position now held by the judge and also rearranged the district was construed against his contentions there was no court and there was no Judge and there was no return of the indict ment. The court surprised almost ev ery one in court when he read from President Kooseveu s messass in me congressional record of last November, In which it is declared that Judge Betheu was appointed as a successor to Judge C. C. Kohlsaat, promoted from the district court to the circuit court. This promotion gave Judge Betheu a right to accept the return of an indict ment votea m tne Old aisinci. IjONDON'S new lord mayor. NEW YEAR OF THE JEWS. He Is 80 Years Old, a Banker, Bache lor and Mason. London( Sept. 29. Alderman "Walter Vaughan Morgan today was elected lord mayor of London for the ensuing "VI r- xrnrcran 4a SpntllEpnil.Hnn. a banker and a bachelor. He was edu cated at the Bluecoat school and is a prominent Free Mason. Prior to the election the retiring lord -i .-I,- TrVin "PmiTiH the sheriffs and the corporation paid their annual visit to the church e- St. Lawrence Jewry.

Lee Saunders, a very bad negro, was arrested last nizht by Officers, Hen dricks and Palmer on a charge of burelarv. and a state warrant was se cured for him this morning by Joe Jenkins, of 1303 Kansas avenue. Saun ders is charged with breaking into Jenkins' house and stealing a pair of shoes. The crime, committed in the nisrht time, is as much of a felony as though he had stolen a waeon load of It Will Begin at Sundown This Evening. According to he Jewish calendar the year 5666 will begin at sunset this evening. It is their claim that their calendar commenced with the crea tion of the world. The Jewish day, unlike the calendar day, which begins at midnight, begins at sunset, so their new year begins the minute today's sun is lost to view. The orthodox members of the faith strictly observe the .religious ceremonies, and all exchange New1 Year's cards, visits and have their family entertainments and reunions. Rabbi Mayer, being asked to explain the meaning of Rosh Hashonah, said: "Rosh Hashonah, the Jewish New Year festival, is not only a joyous day, but also a solemn day. In fact, the first ten days of the month of 'Tishre,' from' the New Year to the day of atonement, are called the solemn days of the Jewish calendar. Solemn, be cause the New Year is a day of judg ment. We pass in review our achieve ments no less than our aspirations. All other festivals speak to the Jew of his people's great past. This memorial day speaks to him of his own past. It bids him take a retrospect of the days that are no more, so that the future be not the past repeated, but the past bettered. "The New Year festival sounds the keynote of a new and higher lifeL On that day every one fashions a new re solve to live nobler. No matter what the shortcomings of the past year were, the new year shall not be one of pledge broken nor of religion dishon ored.. It emphasizes the thought that God js the sovereign of the universe. God's universe is turned to righteous ness and keyed to justice. Made in the image of God, man must make his life divine. Therefore on this day men and women, who for a year long have shut their eyes that they may not par celve the truth and made "their ears heavy that they hear not rebuke, open tneir neart to the appeals that prophets have sounded and accept the kingdom of God. "With the services of Rosh Has honah are introduced three pieces of distinctively Jewish music, rendered by male voices. The officiating cantor wears the kittel, or robe of death a white linen shroud as is required of him. The worshippers wear the talith, a square garment of silk or wool, in which, beyond the prescribed ma terial, there is much latitude of choice in color and decoration. Generally the talith is white, with a blue border. but it is also very tiften striped with black, yellow or blue, and is even richly ornamented with gold occasionally. "The next solemn duty before the people of Israel is the observance of the grievous fast of Tom Kippur. iAt 6 o'clock on the evening of October 9 they will assemble in the various temples, and many of them will re main there, continuously praying and abstaining absolutely from food, and even from water, unti,l 6 o'clock in the evening of the succeeding day, or at least as long as nature will support the strain. They will all wear the kittel then, the solemn reminder of their mortality. Southern Railway.

Kropeck, an inmate of the state insane asylum at Topeka, is sus pected of the Niekum murder in Topeka and the Job murder in Ottawa,, two of the most fiendish and revolting crimes ever committed in Kansas. Ex-Sheriff John M. Wilkerson is re sponsible for the suspicion against Kro peck. He has been working on the Nickum case for several months, and has finally centered hi3 attentions on Kropeck, who was sent to the Topeka asylum from Helton, Kansas, on April 24. Wilkerson had a number of photo graphs taken of Kropeck, and sent them to people who had some knowl edge of the Nickum and Job murders. Two men have identified Kropeck by these pictures as a man who was seen hanging around Ottawa on March 27, just before Mrs. Carolina Job was mur dered while asleea in her room at a private sanitarium'. Clarence Ellis, a carpenter who boarded at the Nickum hotel in Topeka, identified the man as one who occunied a. room next to his own about a year before the brutal mur der of Mrs. Nickum, the proprietor, which occurred in the early morning of November 20, 1904. The officers have been of the belief that the murderer of Mrs. Nickum and the murderer of Mrs. Job were the same man, owing to the manner in which the women were killed, which was identical. In each case the fiend struck the vic tim with an axe and then mutilated the body in a horrible and revolting man ner. Mr. Wilkerson's evidence against Kro peck dates from April 20. of this year, when the suspect wandered into Holton, Kansas. His actions were peculiar, and while in ordinary conversation with a man on the street he flew into a violent rage for no reason w-hatever. His ac tions were reported to Sheriff Bateman, who began a hunt for the man, and found him spending the night with a farmer a short distance from town. Kropeck showed no signs of insanity, and the farmer was very indignant when his guest was hauled away to the county jail. Shortly after he was locked up Kro peck began to talk insanely. He talked to the jailor of murder, and carried on a one-sided argument in regard to the ease with which a man could enter a house, commit a murder and escape without leaving a clue. He always spoke of using an axe. A restaurant keeper in Ottawa read ily identified a picture of Kropeck as the man who took supper at his place on the night of the murder. The res taurant keeper and a barber who lives next door to the house where Mrs. Job was murdered, will "come to Topeka 'to see if they can identify Kropeck. The barber saw a man trying to get into his house about the time of the murder next door,' and says he got a good look at the man during a flash of lightning. Kropeck is a Bohemian, 45 years of age. He weighs about 175 pounds, and is of a florid complexion. He was sent to the asylum from Marshall county in 1901, and discharged as cured in a few months.

10 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY, EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1905. LIIICOLMDMITSIT Tells Mow Missouri River Job bers Are Favored. No Competition in Territory West of Salina. TIIIES TO EXPLAIN IT. Railroad Expert Says It's Due to Different "Hauls." An Interesting Document in Freight Rate Controversy. James C. Lincoln, general freight agent for the Missouri Pacific railway, today filed with the state board of railroad commissioners a supple mental statement of rates for use as evidence in the Hockaday hardware case. In this statement, Mr. Lincoln spe cifically admits that in upwards of 20 towns west of Salina, and a similar number west of Wichita and Hutchin son, the Kansas City, Atchison and other Missouri river Jobbers are able to ship goods from the Mississippi river into these towns at a less cost than they can be shipped from Salina, Hutchinson and Wichita, thus prac tically admitting that not only do the railroads give the Missouri river Job bers absolute control of all the terri tory west of Salina, Hutchinson and Wichita, but give them more than an equal show in many towns which ought to be protected from Missouri river competition. Mr. Lincoln writes a long letter to the board, explaining these differen tials in favor of the Missouri river by the claim that they are due to back hauls and sidehauls, and that where the traffic is direct, the interior Job bers have an equal show in the ter ritory west of them. It is not con tended that the interior jobbers art given any such advantage west oi them that the Missouri river Jobbers enjoy in the territory as far west as Salina, Hutchinson and Wichita. The following is a portion of Mr. Lincoln's letter of explanation: "In examination of statements of ex isting rates via the Missouri river, based on fifth class of 22 cents per 100 pounds to the Missouri river and fourth class local beyond, as compared with fifth class rate of 49 cents to Sa lina, and the local fourth class rate 'beVOnd. VOU WllJ fin thaf with van few exceptions, the combination via both the Missouri river and via Salina are the same. "The exception at Astor and inter mediate points In the western part of the state is due to the application of the Colorado common point rate as maximum at points in the western por tion of the state. "You will also note that the rates do 'not equalize to Hallville and a few sta tions west thereof, for the reason that a back haul is involved in handling of the business out of Salina to points west of Gypsum City and east of Mar quette, and a side haul is involved in handling at points west of Marquette. "In the case of Hutchinson rates to points on the Missouri Pacific thev are not and can not be equalized, while on the Santa Fe and Rock Island they are equalized. By reference to the map you will note the Missouri Pacific rail way, in order to handle business from Hutchinson would have to detour over its line through Tates Center and Wichita, or a back haul from Geneseo to Hutchinson. "In the case of Wichita the rates are equalized to points on our lines from Wichita to Kiowa inclusive, but to points west of Conway Springs and to Larned and Iuka, we do not equalize via Wichita, as the short line of the Santa Fe and the Rock Island from Wichita and Hutchinson to Kingman, Turon, Stafford and Larned prevents." Some of the towns which under the present arrangements of rates enjoy a differential over Salina are as follows: Via Salina. Via K. C.

The board of consulting engineers and several mem bers oi the Panama canal commission sailed for Colon on the steamship Ha vana. Their purpose is to inspect the work already done on the canal and also its proposed route, in order to re port to the commission the best kind of a canal to build. In the party were Theodore P. Shonts. chairman of the commission; Rear Admiral Driscoli, O. H. Ernst and-B. M. Harrod, all of the canal commission. Speaking of the work to be, accomplished by the present trip, Mr. Shonts said: "Just how long the board of engineers will remain on the isthmus is a question I can not answer. I personally invited them to visit Panama. "In theory the board has considered the three plans for the building of the canal, the sea level canal, the lock canal and the lock and lake canal. They will give these plans careful consideration on the ground and then report. It does not follow, however, that the canal commission will be bound to follow their advice. If they give a unanimous re port in favor of a certain kind of canal it is probable that the commission will favor that form of canal as being the very best. If they give a majority and a minority report it will rest entirely with the commission which one to ac cept or whether to reject both. The commission advises the president of its decision and he in turn notifies con gress." Mr. Shonts said that while in Panama the members of his party will live on the steamer, sleeping in their state rooms. In explanation of this plan for lodging the party Mr. Shonts said: "When I-was down there some weeks ago I was forced to take up my quar ters in a house that was but little bet ter than a shed." Sailing with the commissioners and the advisory board of engineers on the Havana were: Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles H. Darling, Senator Joseph H. Millard, of Nebraska; Con gressman Irving P. Wagner, of Penn sylvania, and J. E. Markel, who was recently awarded the contract to fur nish food to the canal employes. AMERICANS INSULTED. Houses of the Foreign Residents in Parral Were Stoned. El Paso, Tex., Sept. 29. During the celebration of a Mexican holiday in Parral, state of Chihuahua, some Mex icans grossly insulted the Americans and other foreigners on streets and even stoned the houses of the foreign residents. The better element of Mex icans, however, did not participate in the demonstration. The foreigners held mass meetings and put the matter in the hands of United States Consul Long, who is the only foreign consul in that city. He will demand an apology. Parral is in a rich mining section with several hundred foreign residents. The Mexican police failed to make any arrests and afterward explained that their forces was insufficient and that it would have precipitated a riot had they attempted to make any arrests. PRESENT FOR THE MIKADO. Roosevelt Is Sending One Under Cover of Secrecy. Ottawa. Ont.. Sent. 29. A present from President Roosevelt to the Emperor of Japan was on a special train passing here yesterday bearing Baron Komura home ward. It was a large parcel labeled, seal ed and handled carefully. Nobody knows what it contains and nobody will know until it reaches the imperial palace at Tckio. The president requested of the plenipo tentiary, it is understood, that no notifica tion that a present was being forwarded be given and that nothing be said about it until it is personally delivered to the em peror. Kansas Millers Protest. Wichita. Kan., Sept. 29. The grain deal ers and millers of southwest Kansas held a meeting here on the calf of Secretary Smiley. The principal topic of discussion was the deduction by Kaisas City buy ers of 100 pounds from each car of grain on account of dirt and other losses. A resolution was adopted against this rule of the Kansas City board of trade, as it is a violation of an act of the last legisla ture. Active sters will be taken to have the Kansas City board of trade repeal it. Chief Grain Inspector J. W. Bradford and J. G. Goodwin, chief of the board of tar iffs and weights of Kansas City, were in attendance. The meeting adjourned to night. Made a Hole 110 Feet Deep. Port Said, Egypt, Sept. 29.

Sterne Says Books Are Lost. County Commissioner W. E. Sterne takes exception to the statement given out by the secretary of the state board of agriculture relative to the standing of Topeka as a city. Mr. Sterne said: "Mr. Coburn says that the two largest "books, that ought to contain 2,860 names, are missing. Mr. New man and his deputies make -affidavit that these two books were returned to the secretary of agriculture; that they contained the total number when wrapped and sent, and they equalled the number received from Mr. Coburn. Mr. Coburn says he never received those two books. The two missing books were the largest sent by Mr. Coburn and were used in the center of the city. These two books added to the figures given out by Mr. Coburn would make our population over 40, 000, equalling the figures given out by Mr. Newman, who counted the names before the books were returned to Mr. Coburn. Taking this census cost Shawnee county more than two thou sand dollars which amount may just as well have been thrown into the sewer. Topeka has a bona fide popu lation of over 40,000. Mr. Coburn's showing that we have lost more than one thousand during the past year is absurd." Coburn Knew of Missinjj Books. County Clerk Newman said: "This attack which Secretary Coburn has made upon the county clerks of some of the counties of the state is directed at me in particular. Mr. Coburn knew when he made this report that two of the assessors' books were "miss ing and he knows that they were re turned to him by this office. He also know3 that these two missing books were used in taking the census in the most densely populated district in the city and he also knows that these books were made particularly for these two districts and that they had space for 2,860 names and that is fair to presume that they were completely filled. This attack is on a par of one that he made last year and is unjusti fiable and without facts to back the assertions which he has made." SILVER GIFT TO HOWE.

The case of Edmund Gastineau vs. Joseph Marcy, in volving title to an estate valued at from $20,000 to $30,000, which has been on trial in the district court for a week past, has come to a sudden termination by a com promise between the litigants satisfactory to both.

WHEAT Under free selling today by pit traders the wheat market here was weak. Weather condi tions was highly unfavorable for the mar ket.

Would that this same ex quisite feeling for things decorative were also an American characteristic! Still we are making rapid strides, and aesthetic development along the very best lines is to be seen on every side, but it would hardly be a truthful state ment to dub the love of harmony a j universally national trait. Too many Interior decorative effects that clash and swear at canons of art rise up and confront one as evidence that the millennium is not here. For the most part we are all desirous of being ar tistic, and in their house furnishings at least clever women are making unpre tentious homes most attractive with the expenditure of very little money when common sense and a spirit of in dustry are added to the love of har mony. Another encouraging sign that progress is being made is the fact that In the case of "doing up" a room the professional decorator no longer holds undisputed sway. We have learned well the lesson that it Is the artistic touch of Individuality that gives a room its charm. At this time of the year, when the fall fever of fixing up has seized most housewives, a little talk on home dec orations for slender purses may be ap preciated. In the first place, as regards the pa pering of rooms. It is wisest, where economy is necessary, to do away with ornate friezes and paper. The old fa miliar furniture will not look shabby against a plain, self colored back ground, nor will the picture frames, and, above all, the eyes will be rested on these flat surfaces and tones. Plain white friezes are being used in most of the really artistic houses and flats and also white moldings. The ceiling I may appear slightly lower when these conditions prevail, but the effect is al together pleasing. An idea much In favor is the "white bedroom," in which the paper is white, with a tiny bordering at the top of running knots of ribbon or field flow ers. This effect is charming bevond words, although its description sounds bizarre. It was the original idea of a famous decorator who insists that rooms should always be papered with a view to the temperament of their oc cupants. Red, he informed me, was WANTED IT3IALB HELP.

Above all never let the scheme of the hall and stairway be otherwise than artistic, as one's first impression of the house is a lasting one, and if the hall be in artistic no room decoration will ever remove the first jar to one's artistic sense. The living room should be the coziest apartment in the house. There is no necessity to sacrifice comfort to ap pearance, as is done in many drawing rooms. The furniture varies with individual taste. The wall space in some living rooms will be devoted to bookshelves, and in others the more up to date ar rangement of low shelves with a pic ture railing at the top and plenty of space for picture hanging is desired. All tastes agree, however, in liking sev eral large restful armchairs and a round table 'of sensible size, which holds news papers and magazines, and serves as a card table for convivial little parties. A- good knee hole writing table with plenty of drawers for correspondence, account books and some good pictures -preferably prints adds greatly to the attractions of the room. On the quea. tion of pictures hangs to a large ex tent the choice of wall' paper. If these are plentiful nothing forms" a better background than self colored ingrain caper, -red or a warm green, with or without an, effective frieze. But should there be a scarcity of pictures, plain paper must be avoided and one with I good "furlhinr design be chosen.

Conducted by regular practicing physicians for the benefit c persona without means whs need medical attention and treatment. Pa tients nre Assured of careful and consid erate treatment. Medicine furnished in most cases. If carpet" Is" used a pile" weave in blues, greens and reds or what is call ed a turkey coloring is perhaps the most serviceable, and this should be made into a rug covering most of the floor. Heavy curtains at 'the windows are a mistake, but there are innumer able dark or semidark effects in trans parent materials that carry out the character of the room without barring the blessed sunlight- The greatest stumbling block of the amateur decorator is the hanging of pictures. Excellent taste is required in this art, a true eye and a knowledge of suitable combination. For example, photographs should never be mixed with paintings. Have a corner devoted to them and try to form a design in your mind when hanging the frames. Do not have the square, oval and panel frames all hung In incoherent con fusion and never mix old prints with new ones. The fine effect of a really good old print is often lost by disre garding this rule. 'And, speaking of rules, the first one to observe in pic ture hanging is not to overcrowd the skyline. By., that 13 meant an Imagt nary line, which should mark the top of the picture frame. This skyline must take a height commensurate with the size of the room; what that is must be left for the Individual to de cide. Another rule is that the tops of all frames grouped together must be on a level without regard to. the size of the pictures. Furniture of varying epochs should not be in the same room. If possessed of a Sheraton table do not sacrifice It by placing an oak cabinet, no matter how handsome, near it. Chippendale may be used with Sheraton in fact, the latest achievement In the manu facture of art furniture has resulted in the combination of these two styles, making a most graceful article. One point should always be kept In view when furnishing a room, and that is light. Sometimes only a small win dow is responsible for the lighting of i good sized apartment.. A dark corner can therefore be lightened by hanging in it a picture' framed and mounted in white. A mirror 'also reflects light and Is useful when used in the same way. If a mirror can be placed opposite a window the rays of light from the win dow. re caught, and the result will be that the room seems larger and lighter. Another device for beautifying a room is by the use of a mirror and a bunch of flowers. These blossoms may be artificial, but of course would be all the more beautiful if real. The re flections in the glass are lovely. There are a thousand and one charming schemes, for making effective interior decorations, and it Is Wonderful how soon- one can accustom himself to the right thing and realize that far more pleasing is a bunch of wild flowers in a quaint bowl than the glare of more ex pensive and inartistic trifles. Let your rooms be, as. should be your minds, calm, equally balanced and pure in de sign. GRACE QRISCOM. mcYOLEs ivn ukpairlvc. TOPEKA" AUTOMOBILE AND CTCLS Co. Tel. 70S.
