THEY CAfTT GO ON Railroads Ask Continuance of Freight Rate Cases. Mr. Koontz, Principal Witness Is Quarantined. TAYLOR DETERMINED. Proposes to Push Fight for Bet ter Coal Rates. Calls Attention to Wide Differ ences Now Existing. Owing: to the fact that J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Santa Fe, is Quarantined at his home on account of the siqkness of his little daughter with diphtheria, the state board of rail road commissioners will be obliged to postpone the hearing; of the coal rate case, set for October 10; and the grocery commodity case, set for October 12. For mal application for a continuance of these cases will be made by General Attorney W. R. Smith when the board meets tomorrow, but Carr Taylor, attor ney for the board, is notifying all the interested parties today that it will be unnecessary for fhem to come to To peka. Judge Smith says that Mr. Koontz is the man who has been looking up all the evidence on behalf of the Santa Fe, and will be their principal witness. He cays it would be impossible for the Santa Fe to go to trial without him. and as there seems to be no way out of It, the continuance will be granted. Attorney Carr Taylor says that it is his purpose to go ahead with the fight for better coal rates. "Under the reduction of rates offered by the railroads," said Mr. Taylor, "there is too much difference, or spread, between the slack coal rates and the lump coal rates. For Instance, the slack i nal rates nave been reduced to Topeka, Wichita and a number of other points but there has been no reduction to these points on lump coal. Lump coal is just what the private consumer is interest ed in, and he ought to have a reduc tion." The present rate on steam coal to Wichita is J1.00 and on lump $1.50. The difference on the lump and slack rate to Topeka is almost as great. Through out the whole eastern portion of the state there Is no reduction in the lump coal rate. In western Kansas, there is some reduction in lump rate, but com rlaints continue to come In. This morning a. long petition was re ceived from the people of Seneca, ac- ompanled by a formal action of the city council, protesting against the ex isting rates on coal from Weir City, The present rate to Seneca is $1,80 per ton, and the people of that town think they should have a $1.50 rate. They say that the present rate from Center ville, Iowa., coal fields is 15 cents lower than the rate from Kansas coal fields, thus practically shutting Kansas coal out of the Seneca market. Up to this time, the Santa Fe has not filed its new coal tariff with the board of railroad commissioners, though it is said to be completed and ready for filing. The delay in the hearing of the gro cery commodity case will cause anoth er postponement of the decision in the Hockaday hardware case. The Mis souri river tariff issue is at stake in both, and the board decided to hear the grocery case before rendering a de cision In the Hockaday case. Replies to Railroad Organ. In reply to the criticisms of his ac tion in the editorial columns of the Kansas City Journal. Mr. Taylor said toda-: "I am not frightened by what these papers say; I realize that I am up against such a fight, but I propose to stay by it. and I believe the people of the state will stand by me. "The statements in this editorial are entirely false and misleading. We con sidered the 18 cent rate from Kansas City which is mentioned, and we were not to be blinded and led astray by uch an illusion. The 16 cent rate is fjut into the tariff books for appear ances 1 suppose; at least it is a rate which is never used. Kansas City ships its grain on the proportional rate of 11 cents, and on erery ounce of erain, Kansas City gets a better rate than the farmers of Kansas who want to ship their grain direct, without billing to Kansas City." A large amount of evidence is beine collected by Mr. Taylor as a result of his letters of inquiry sent out to the county clerks concerning the grain rate case. Mr. Taylor says that this will be one of the strongest rate cases which he has commenced. It is said that the railroads may try to secure a compro mise of this case by offering some re ductions in their present grain tariffs. WELCOMED BY ROOT. International Sanitary Convention Meets in Washington. Washington, Oct. 9.

PICKETS ARRESTED IN IOWA. Judge Decides There That Strikers Cannot Stand Around Shops' According to a decision of Judge McPherson. of Iowa, striking Santa Fe machinists, who stand on picket duty In the vicinity of the company's shops at Fort Madison, can be arrested for their mere presence is a sign of Intimidation. A dozen or more of these pickets were recently arrested under this decision and their case is to come up before the court on Oc tober 16. J. D. Buckalew, third vice president of the International Associa tion of Machinists, who makes his headquarters here, left for Fort Madi son this afternoon to look after the interests of these men. RAMSEY LOSES FIRST ROUND. Court Will Not Restrain Other Roads From Voting Wabash Stock. St. Louis. Oct. 9. In the St. Louis circuit court today Judge Daniel C. Taylor denied the application of Joseph Ramsey, jr.. deposed president of the Wabash railroad, for an injunction to restrain the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain roads or their trustees from voting Wabash stock held by or for those railroads In the annual election to be held In Toledo tomorrow. News of the decision was tele graphed at once to Toledo, where Geo. J. Gould and his supporters and Joseph Ramsey and his personal ad visers arrived there today. The failure of the injunction suit, which if successful would have tied up a large block of Gould stock, is regarded as a most important victory for the Gould interests. In a lengthy opinion giving his rea sons for the decision, Judge Taylor says: "The record develops the fact that at the last annual election of the Wabash Railroad company the plaintiff, Ram sey, holding the proxies of the then and now owners of these very shares of stock, the voting of which lie now seeks to have enjoined, voted all of them for the election of the very per sons whom he now charges will, if elected, so conduct the property of the Wabash road as to not only violate the provisions of the laws of Missouri, but will also so conduct the same as to in jure him. I am of the view that this action of plaintiff is sufficient to com pel the court to deny him the relief which he seeks in the absence of proof showing that something has transpired since the time of such voting of this stock by him which would indicate that the purposes of those who would be elected by the voting of this stock at the meeting to be held on the 10th of October will be different from those of the persons elected by the plaintiff." FOUND DEAD IN ROAD. Deatli of School .Ma'am ami a Rather Is Unexplained. Haskell, I. T., Oct. 9.

The woman taught at the Stone Bluff country school near Haskell. Young lived at Bixby. The sheriff has found no defin ite clews upon which to work. KNEW WUEItE TO FIND MONEY. Burglar at C. Lytle's Barler Shop Uses Novel Method. Lytle's barber shop at 109 West Fifth street, was burglarized either Saturday or Sunday night, and $33 in cash stolen. The robber gained an entrance by breaking a pane from a rear window and unlocking the sash. The money drawer was locked, but an unlocked drawer next to it was removed, and a hole cut through the side of the locked drawer large enough to admit a hand. A. Hopkins, merchant policeman, discovered the open window at an early hour this morning. He went in through the window, and made a search, but finding nothing disturbed and the cash drawer locked, presumed that the thief had been frightened away. The police believe that the burglary was committed by some one who knew the exact location of the money, as the hole in the drawer was cut ex actly opposite the small tin box where the money was kept.

Defaulting School Superintend ent Shows Signs of Collapse. HE WILL SOT CONFESS. Will Not Plead Guilty But Will Make Defense. To Plead Insanity Caused by Fall From a Horse. Peoria, 111., Oct. 9. 'With the shadow of jail in sight, N. C. Dougherty, the defaulting school superintendent, today showed the first signs of collapse. His former friends have refused to go on his bond and it was stated today that as soon as the grand Jury should finish its work, he would be placed In a cell, that formerly occupied by Otis Botts, the wife murderer. For the first time since the expose, Dougherty remained at his home today. It is said on good authority that he will not confess, but will plead not guilty and put up as a defense insanity, caused by a fall from a horse several years ago. This afternoon the grand jury report ed 84 indictments against Dougherty in addition to the 13 already found. Forty five of these are for forgery, each con taining eight counts. Thirty-nine are for embezzlement, each contaifiing six counts. His total bond was placed at $64,500. Joseph Weil, Dougherty's attorney, announced that he would appear in court of his own accord. DIE TO REFORM WAVE. Dougherty Gives His Views as to Cause of His Trouble. Chicago, Oct. s. A special to the Daily News from Peoria says: "If I have done any wrong," Dougher ty said to the News correspondent, "I suppose I ought to be punished for it." "Do you ascribe your present prose cution to any present influence?" he was asked. "No, I do not," he answered. "It can be ascribed to the wave of reform which seems to be sweeping over the country. It is shown in the investiga tion of the life insurance companies, in the Milwaukee zraft inveslic-ntion. J Similar investigations have been made in other cities and in some instances these investigations have accomplished a great deal of good." Reverting to his dealings with the Peoria National bank Dougherty de clared he had no personal knowledge of the bank's affairs. Dougherty, It would appear, was prac tically "a dummy" president. A the head of the banking institution, he re ceived a nominal salary, less than $1,000 a year. He merely attended the direc tors' meetings and concurred in any thing his fellow officers placed before him for approval. "I am a teacher and not a banker," was the way he explained his position and I '?ft the management of the bank in the hands of experienced men. It may be said that the experience as a banker of one of the other officials was limited to the management of a jewelry store before his connection with the bar-k. "I took the position of president un der protest," declared Dougherty, "just because there was no one else to take it. I did not want it." "It is said that the $186,000 in securi ties which you have put up to cover the shortaKes in the school fund will not prove worth their face value, Mr. Dougherty." "Don't call it shortages. No. rather say any errors that may be found in the school fund accounts." LIVE STOCK SHOW OPEN All Previous Records for Individual Entries Broken. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 9.

With commerce humming at a Record rate, cars for traffic are so scarce that a costly short age in them is feared by the railroads. In an effort to forestall such trouble nearly every railway is placing heavy orders for equipment, with quick de livery clauses.

It was stated yesterday that the railroads centering here and extending east could use between 2,000 and 3,000 grain cars In excess of the present sup ply One road alone admitted to being short nearlv 1,000 cars.

Something more than a year ago Pro bate Judge Hayden revoked the permit of Druggist W. F. Lake on a showing which was made that he had old liquor con trary to law. The matter was taken up by the attorneys for Lake and the county clerk and probate judge were man damassed and compelled to return the per mit. The matter was immediately taken to the supreme court, which sustained the probate court in its ruling. Judge Hayden immediately revoked Lake's permit on the evidence that had been brought out in the previous trial when the permit was revoked on account of illegul liquor sales. Lake then ap pealed to the district court and contended that there must be a petition signed by twentyTflve men and twenty-five women eligible to sign such a petition before the permit could be revoked. The decision handed down this morning sustains the probate judge on every point and leaves Mr. Lake without a permit or a chance to get one for two years. By reason of the decisions handed down by tile district court this morning Judge Hayden finds that In reality he is a judge in three different courts, with full and separate power In each of them.

Many readers are doubtless tired of the carrier question of last week. The carriers now some of them at least have consented to deliver the papers under Mr. MacLennan's new plan made absolutely necessary by the added Sunday paper. The office has been overwhelmed with interviews and by people who wanted their names off the carriers' petition or who said their names were signed without authority. There is a big batch of lively and intensely interesting reading on this subject on the second page today but we will not devote our first page the newsiest as a rule to this sub ject today. See second page, or skip it If you like. For today's great Philadelphia ball game see second page. RAMSEY UNMOVED He Only Smiled When Told of the Court Decision Which Turns 140,000 Votes Against His Interests. THE DAY IS TAKEN UP With Arguments in Court of Common Fleas. On Application for Removal Election Inspectors. Toledo. O., Oct. 0. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., received from the Associated Press his first information of the denial of his application for an Injunction re straining the Gould interests from vot ing the stock held by the Missouri Pa cific and Iron Mountain railway com panies at the annual election of the Wabash road to be held tomorrow which means practically 140,000 against him in tomorrow's election. When shown the dispatch he smiled pleas antly and remarked: "Well, this is the first time that I have heard of It." When asked if he had any statement to make Mr. Ramsey replied with a Brash "There is nothing that I can say. The decision seems to speak for itself. Of course, this thing is not In any way decisive. It merely disposes of one trick in the game." If Mr. Ramsey was surprised or dis appointed at the decision his manner failed to show it. He seemed to take the action of the court as a matter which made very little difference to him in any way. None of the import ant members of the Gould interests have as yet arrived, with the exception of Colonel Blodgett of St. Louis, the general counsel of the road, and he, like' Mr. Ramsey, seemed to take the decision with no evidence of surprise. "I guess that speaks for Itself," he said. "There is nothing more I can say. I expected the decision and real ly do not see how it could have been anything else." The application for the removal of three inspectors of election, Messrs, Reynolds. Oolton and Newton, who have officiated at many annual meet ings of the Wabash road, was argued for' the greater part of the day in the court of common pleas before Judge Kinkade. Control All the Votes. These men. by their power to pass upon all proxies submitted, practical ly control all the votes to be cast at the election and they have in addi tion the right to count the vote and certify to the result of the election. Mr. Ramsey, through his attorneys, claims that they are all employes of the Wabash road and while they have been able to fulfill their duties In a satisfactory manner at previous elec tions, it was because there were then no contests and they were not called upon to decide close questions 6f le gal right to vote, as they must do in the present election. Because of their lack of education In this respect he claims that they are not competent and asks that the court appoint three disinterested inspectors to take their places. Judge Kinkade on Saturday declared that he saw no reason why three other inspectors should not be appointed provided Mr. Ramsey could show that he represented one-tenth of the stock to be voted at the election. This morn ing the attorneys submitted a list of names in addition to that of Mr. Ram sey with an affidavit that they were all holders of stock in the Wabash road and in the aggregate represented much more than one-tenth of the capital. They asked that the attor neys for the Wabash road be com pelled to bring into court the stock book of the railroad company to show that these men were actual stock holders, saying that there was no way of proving this fact unless the stock books were shown. The attorneys for the Wabash road decided that they had not been served with proper notice to bring Tn the stock book and denied the power of the court in the matter of appointment of in spectors, because It lacked jurisdiction in that there was nothing to show the names appended to the affidavit were those cf bona fide stockholders; It was admitted that Mr. Ramsey owned 100 shares of the common stock of the Wa bash road and debenture bonds to the value of $50,000. Beyond this the list showed nothing, they declared, and be cause it showed nothing the court was without jurisdiction in the premises. The argument lasted for the greater pait of the day. BLACK GOES TO CHICAGO But It Is for the Purpose of Attending a Passenger Meeting. W. J. Black, general passenger agent of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company, left this afternoon for Chicago. Mr. Black goes there to attend the regular quarterly meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger association. So far as he knows his trip has nothing to do with the ques tion of the possibility of his being given the position of general passenger traffic manager, which has been made vacant by the elevation of George T. Nicholson to the third vice presidency of the road. His engagement to attend this association meeting has been one of long standing and Mr. Black goes to Chicago for that purpose alone.

THE T OP EKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL. PAPER JELIVERY. A Few Astounding Developments Are Made. Tfcat Petition We Are not Per mitted to See. FULL FORGED JiAMES. State Journal Overwhelmed with Interviews and Statements. Attorneys for Both Sides Agree to Postpone Injunction Case. The State Journal is Btill coming out very day, as our readers will observe, and It Is delivering a paper every day In the year, including Sunday. Yesterday's paper was. pronounced one of the best Sunday papers ever issued in this city. Not a line was said about ffie carriers' business in any one of the twenty pages. We thought our readers Would like a rest and save it to them. The carriers' incident is row largely a thing c' the rast. They will pay a cent a copy for very copy we deliver them, seven cents for seven papers or we go out of business. Many of our carriers realizing that the Sunday edition WP.S the greatest sub scription getter they oculd possibly ever have, and realizing, too. that we could not sell it for less than a cent a copy by wholesale, and resizing, too. that subscribers would not pay eleven cents, and realizing further that the sentiment in this town was in Javor of the man who for twenty years had stood by To peka, and in flV.en years had paid out for delivery of the paper over $100,000.00 out of the ten cent subscription price, and realizing that no carriers in the United States had probably received kinder and more liberal treatment than those of the State Journal, and further realizing that 30 rer cent of the gross receipts of the subscrin.ion price jf the State Journal, paid for merely deliver ing the paper, was certainly liberal com pensation, are carrying the paper now under the plan inaugurated by Mr. Mac Lennan October 1st, viz: the same price for seven papers as previously paid for six, that is, seven papers for seven cents, instead of six papers for six cents but the same price to subscribers 10 cents for the week. Dean Conant, a lawyer, and dean of the law school of Washburn college, was the lawyer to whom the carriers went for conference and who governed their early actions. Dean Conant came to the editor of the State Journal Sunday and said: "l am greatly distressed. I like the boyii and tried to help them, but 1 hae told them now that they have safife things I cannot endorse and they HPJpt look in the future for other eottnsel; that 1 have gone as far as I can or will. I think the fact that the carriers got up a petition and would tmt let you read it. was a very, very bad thing for the carriers before the public. That petition was addressed to you and was yours absolutely." The reader will understand that we had never any more than been per mitted to glance at this petition. We saw a mass of names, but the only two names which we recollect of seeing, in the haste of glancing over the docu ment that was presented to us Just as the paper was going to press and be fore we had time to read it, are the names of W. W. Manspeaker and D. O. McCray. Those names were there. There were other names, but whether they were forgeries, the names of re spectable people, the names of live people or dead people, the names of people who live here now or lived here years ago, we do not know excepting as the people have telephoned and written and come into the State Jour nal office to tell us to take their names off. The carriers have said they were names they procured from their sub scribers, but the carriers have made so many misrepresentations we regret to say this of a generally nice lot of boys that we would have to see this petition and look at the names before we could be assured of the genuine ness of the document. But this we do know and we have the evidence in our possession to prove that that docu ment contains one forged name after another. This evidence has been offer ed to us and we have it in our posses sion to use, but we do not intend to use It. In this whole business the carriers have pursued a course whtch will most Injure themselves. We have never sold a carrier a route, and, so far as we now feel, never intend to. Our business is selling newspapers and ad vertising space. We sell newspapers by wholesale to carriers. We prefer to have the present carriers deliver out papers in Topeka. if they will do the business in a manner for the best Interests of the paper; but you can depend upon It this paper will be de livered. If the present carriers should refuse to deliver It we will employ oth er methods of distribution, but the people of this city will have the Jour nal delivered at their doors tonight and very other night. Our business de pends upon It. If we can not deliver a paper there is no'need of printing it. We have had a dozen or more com plaints today that our Sunday raper was not delivered yesterday, hut we presume this is due to some oversight, as every carrier was on hand Sunday morning early. Our entire edition, al though an extra number was crinted, was exhausted and we were tompelled to send a hack for the pressman to print some more copies to supply the demand. This morning, by mutual consent of Robert Stone, attorney for the carriers, and Ferry Doran, attorneys for Mr. MacLennan, the injunction case set for 9 o'clock this morning was continued by Judge Dana for another week. A state ment was circulated by the carriers and others in Topeka Saturday night and this morninc that the case would be continued "as Mr. MacLennan was not ready for trial." This is absolutely false. Mr. Stone, for one side, and Mr. Dcran, for the other, suggested that the case better be postponed, and the court at once granted the request. The carriers last week engaged" Ros sington Smith and Robert Stone and Troutman to heir them in their case. The same lawyers are the ones which have hounded the Journal on four libel suits. E. D. McKeever, now assistant United States district attorney, in his college days was one o- the best carriers the State Journal ever had, and is a young man to whom the Journal has pointed as an example of what a hustler can do for himself. Speaking of the carriers' petition. Mr. McKeever said: "I didn't sign the petition, because I know from experience that the boys can make good money at the profit offered under the new seven-paper plan, and if Mr. Mac Lennan is not to be permitted to charge for his own paper whatever rate he be lieves is right, he had better quit busi ness. Who is a better judge of what the naner shall sell for than he?" Mayor W. H. Davis said: -"The boys came out to the house to see me sev eral times, but I refused to attach my name to the t petition because in the first place, I always want to hear both sides to a question before making any decision, and secondly, I didn't consid er it any of my business. I considered the dispute a purely private business one. in which I had no right to in trude." E. A. Chaney said: "I didn't sign the petition. I didn't see the paper, but I would consider the whole ques tion one whioh involved Mr. MacLen nan and the carriers and not any one else." James McCabe said: "My wife signed a petition but she was sorry after wards that she had done so. I never signed a petition and I wouldn't if it had been presented to me because I think that is a private personal busi ness transaction which concerns Mr. MacLennan and the carriers. I don't believe that I had any right to break in on a private business matter or difference of that kind any more than I would have a right to break In the difference of some other employe and his clerks. I take the Journal because it is the only apper in which I can find the news that I am interested in, and which has all the news. I am sorry Mrs. McCabe signed the paper but a woman usually signs a thins of that kind on the spur of the moment without thinking further about it." S. A. Swendson: "I didn't sign the petition. I don't know whether it was presented at the house or not for I have not paid any attention to the mattar." J. H. Squires: "I don't remember whether I signed that petition or not. There ate so many things brought into the city clerk's office that I have often signed them without lookins at them. If I did sign it I had no business to do it." E. L. Hindman. groceryman: "No, I did not sign the list presented by the boys as I had heard but one side of the difficulty and now that I have heard both I will not sign it." J. K. Jones, merchant: "I did not sign the petition and if those routes sell at anything like the price that the boys claim that they have to pay for them, it looks to me like they have a mighty good thing with, the Sunday edition in." Sheriff A. T. Lucas: "I did not sign the petition and see no reason why I shou'.d be called on to do so." Capt. J. R. McNary, assistant prose cuting attorney: "No, I would not sign a petition of that kind. I have a son who received his first newspaper training in the Journal office and it has been the means of making him a successful newspaper man and I con sider that Mr. MacLennan has done more towards starting young men on the right road to a successful business career than any other individual in the city." Probate Judge Hayden: "I Just learn ed from my landlady this morning that she signed my name to the petition pre sented to her by the carriers and I im mediately telephoned Into the State Journal to have my name taken off as my signature was not authorized." County Clerk Newman: "I did not sign my name to the petition though my wife signed her name to it. The carrier always comes to this office when he wants his pay but took the petition to my residence. They seemed to have found that it is an easier matter to get the signatures of the ladies than of the men and presented their petitions to them." County Commissioner S. H. Ifaynes: "No, I did not sign the petition as I think that the Sunday Journal is Just the thing that its readers want." K. G. Miner: "If my name is on the petition I did not put it there but my wife may have signed it to please the carrier." J. E. Lord: "I was busy when the petition was presented to me and signed it without ever reading it. The name on the last line was the name of a friend of mine and I supposed that he had read the petition. I want my name taken off." M. F. Rigby. merchant: "I did not sign the petition. I have a business of my own to run without petitioning other people as to how their's should be handled." Frank Bonebrake: "I signed the petition but want my name taken off. I didn't read the petition, but the car rier told me that it was Just a petition to Mr. MacLennan to let their wages remain the same as they had bvien. After seeing the rough manner in which the carriers have handled the question, I want my name taken off." Anton Smith of the Smith Auto mobile com na n v "T Aid tint aIcti thi if5T-Horp' rtH irt, 1 1 1 Il i;uu"ii auu win mn, W. W. Samson "I didn't sign the petition for several reason. In the first place it looks to me like a Sunday edition wilt add so many more sub scribers to the Journal that the boys will be more than repaid for the loss and trouble. I want the Sunday Jour nal." M. L. Cox: "My "wife signed the pe tition without considering it and now wishes that she had not," Ben Diment. merchant: "I signed the petition without understanding the matter in controversy. Now that I have heard both sides I want my name taken off the list of signers." J. C. Elliott: "I signed the petition without understanding the situation and I want my name taken off." H. T. Crow: "I did not sign the petition as I do not consider that I should get into other people's busi ness." A. H. Hagen, Novelty theater: "I refused to sign the carriers' petition. I could see no good reason why I should be asked to sign it." Dr. J. H. Solecki: "I did not sign the petition and would not." Clarence Scott, Cremerie restaurant: "I should say not. I could see no rea son on earth why I should sign a peti tion of that character. Mr. MacLen nan probably understands how to run his own business without adviee from me or from the carriers." T. L. King, city passenger agent Santa Fe railroad: "I did not sign the carriers' petition and would not. I feel that people should be permitted to run their own business without suggestions from those who know nothing of it.l' A. T. Waggoner, druggist: "I can not understand what the boys hope to gain by their petition and I did not sign it." F. W. Harrison, county commission er: "The Sunday edition of the Jour nal strikes me as being Just about the risrht thing and while the petition was not presented to me I should not have .signed it If it had been." Luther Frazier, salesman: "No, I did not sign the petition. If my name is on the list it was signed by my wife I suppose." E. D. Giles, merchant: "No, I would not sign a petition of that nature and any way it is not my fight." O. A. Rosser, druggist: "I did not see the petition and I should not have signed it if I had." L. M. Chiles, 1521 Van Buren: "I want my name withdrawn from eti tioi." Will Rigdon, 1518 North Quincy: "Want my name taken from the peti tion. The Sunday edition is great." B. F. Sim, druggist, says: "I think they signed it at the house. I don't care what they do about it. I have troubles of my own. However, that's a fine Sunday papery the carrier ought to be able to sell enough more to make it pay." J. T. Sweezey: "I want myname off petition, have taken the paper 15 years and signed without thought, was busy. I'm with the paper as any sensible per son will be." t Mrs. C. B. Tuttle, 1907 Buchanan wants name taken off petition. W. E. Sterne, county commissioner: "It strikes me that one cent is about os cheap as a paper like the State Journal can be sold for at wholesale. If the whole burden is thrown on Mr. MacLennan it will prove pretty heavy. I think the Sunday Journal is a fine thing for all concerned." R. S. Brigham: "I did not get a chance to sign the petition, but I would not have done so if I had. I am a great believer In letting Mr. MacLen nan and any other man attend to his own business. On that subject I am a crank. The Sunday newspaper is a great thing for the town." W. F. Logan: "I signed the petition, but now I care nothing more about the matter. I was greatly pleased with Sunday's paper." Lee Carter: "I have troubles of my own without getting into this carrier rumpus. I guess the Journal can run its own business. The Sunday paper is a fine thing." J. B. Larimer: "The carriers made a great mistake, I think. They should never have gotten into a legal contro versy. I am very much pleased with the Sunday paper." Ned Osborn: "I signed the petition, as people usually do. because It came around. The fight itself is none of my affairs. I was much taken with the Sunday paper." Capt. J. G. Waters: "It is an outrage that those boys are trying to tell Mr. MacLellan how to run his paper. I wouldn't stand for It if I were he. I am greatly pleased with the Sunday edition. The State Journal is getting out a mighty attractive paper." J. J. Kinney: "I never signed a pe tition of that character. I suppose that the women folks at the house signed it for they are great on signing petitions. F. A. Lewis. Union Pacific ticket agent: "No, sir; I did not sign the petition as I do not consider it a mat ter subject to petition." A. Demuth, merchant: "I was not asked to sign the petition and I should not have considered it if I had been." Harry Fraser, an old and valued car rier, now a prosperous grocer: "The State Journal is right. The carriers of such a fine paper have a great proposi tion under the new plan and the Sun day paper." One level-headed man writes: "I congratulate the Journal in Us great advance movement. I am sorry for the carriers sorry that they made a mistake. I have been a newspaper publisher for over forty years, for. half that time a publisher of daily papers. As property, newspaper routes are al ways considered something intangible. A publisher has a right to suspend publication, no matter how profitable such publicatl. n may be. This would give a carrier no right to recover dam ages in absence of a specific contract. I do not understand that the State Journal has furnished its carriers with papers on terms other than those in ordinary practice. Under this practice, a route has more or less value of an indefinable character, depending upon the character and reputation of the owner of the paper and his reputation for fairness, and always subject to in cidental conditions.

Those who visited' our October Sale on Tinware last week, alone, can realize what we have done to original prices and as the crowds left our store their faces showed satisfaction. More than ever before were we complimented on the appearance of our store and the question was often asked: "How do you sell such new and first-class merchandise at such ridicu lously low prices?" We whisper to you why. We buy for cash; wc buy large lots, and our goods come to us at car load rates. What does it mean I It means that we own our goods at least 30 per cent cheaper than the ordinary merchant. On top of this we have a policy of Big Sales Small Profits. We like the excitement of a crowd, we love to hear the prattle of a thousand feet.

Nellis, 337 Woodlawn: "Want name off that petition." B. B. Mize, 337 Woodlawn: "Want my name off that petition." Wm. Elder, old soldier, 214 East Fourth street: "I have taken the Journal a long time and I intend to stand by it." W. I. Miller, lumber merchant: "The carriers did not present their petition to me. It would not have done them any good if they had. I would not presume to dictate to Mr. MacLennan how to run his business. He can do that without any help from me. as is evidenced by his success in the business world. I know if I allowed outsiders to come between me and my men, I would not have any business. I should think those men who signed the peti tion so hastily would feel foolish now." E. A. Emerson, manager Postal Telegraph company: "I don't know whether anybody in my office signed or not, but if my name is on it it certainly is not authorised." L. L.

We had an opportunity to but both felt distinctly that it was not an affair for oar meddling. Mr. Adams said 'he was confident that Mr. Mac Lennan understood the management of hig own business and that he didn't see any sense or justice in the carriers' appeal to the subscribers of the State Journal." Mr. Andrew Scholer, Wamego: "I have read the State Journal for some time and am glad to have an oppor tunity to read it on the seventh day as well as the other six. I have been interested in the difficulty the editor is having with the carriers but feel that they are outside their prerogatives in trying to dictate to him how he shaU conduct his business." M. M. Hale, city treasurer, said: "I never saw the petition, but I wouldn't have signed it even if I had seen it. I think that is a private business mat ter which ought to be left to the Jour nal and its carriers. However, I be lieve that the carriers are paid well. I know of a number of them who have paid their own way through college by carrying Journals. The routes seem to sell for a great deal of money, too; the carrier who delivers my paper to me said that he had sold his route for $900 and that he had paid $675 for it two years before. He must have made quite a nice little sum of money." James Chappelle. proprietor of the Copeland hotel: "The Sunday Journal is what the town has needed for years." M. Snattinger: "My son signed my name to the petition. Hp had no right to do so and want my name taken off. I severely reprimanded my son for doing so. Mr. MacLennan has a right to put any price on his paper he wants to without any interference from outsiders. When I was in business, if I waited to sell a yard of calico at a loss or at a profit, it was not anybody's business but my own." Herbert Armstrong, assistant clerk of the supreme court: "The Sunday edi tion of the State Journal is good. The trouble is that you newspaper people are not satisfied unless you are praised in superlatives." William E. Connelley. 621 Tyler street: "I wish to congratulate you on the Sun day Journal, and commend you for your enterprise and public spirit. I have moved back to Topeka, and live at the above number. I wish to say that in the car riers' controversy f think you are right and the carriers wrong. A small fellow came to me and wanted me to sign, his petition. I refused to do so. He then asked me who lived here before I did. I told him that C. W. Jones lived here until August 20 of this year. Mr. Jones was located here as superintendent of the Rock Island railroad, and is now in Des Moines. I hope you will come out all right in this matter, and think it a shame that your splendid action for the city should be re ceived in such a narrow spirit by even a small number of people living here."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL 4 AID THEJARMERS Irrigation Plan oi Uncle Sam a Blessing. Insures Good Crops From Soil Now Worthless. FORMS LIJSE OF WELLS. Series of Pumping Stations in Finney and Kearney. GoTernment to Expend $236,000 to Get Plant Started. Garden City, Kan., Oct. 9. The dis patch from Washington saying the gov ernment had approved the irrigation project here will be good news to this section. It means that about lo.OOOacres of rich land w'iil be made subject to Irrigation, insuring good crops every year. The law under which the irrigation project will be carried out is the act providing for the co-operation of the government with the water users of districts where irrigation is ncVssary. Under this law it is necessary for the farmers who are to use the water to form a corporation under the laws of the state to be known as "The Water Users' association." Such a corporation has been formed by the farmers near here. The corporation will have a board of seven directors, president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer. The board of directors will annually appoint three water commissioners for each canal division. The water which is to be used for irri gation purposes is the underflow of the Arkansas river. The surface flow in the river is frequently reduced to noth ing in dry seasons. To tap this under flow a line of wells will extend across the Arkansas valley a distance of 24,000 feet. There will be about 230 of these wells. It is proposed to locate the pumping plant in Kearney county, but the lands to be irrigated are principally to the northwest of here. The wells are to be constructed in pairs and will be built as close together as possible. There will be a series of pumping stations, each discharging into a concrete-lined flume, which will lead to the main canal. The entire plant will be operated by electricity from a central power station. The project contemplates the expen diture by the government of $236,000, with $24,000 a year for maintenance. Only owners of lands are entitled to re ceive the water. Those who join the as sociation agree to pay the government for the water at the rate of $3 an acre for ten years. At the end of ten years the government will turn the irrigating plant over to the association. Land Values Increase. It is said that the value of the up land in that part of Kansas, without irrigation, does not exceed $5 or $10 an acre. When reclaimed by irrigation they are worth from $100 to $150. The soil is fertile and Only needs water to make it immensely productive. Other lands in westeri Kansas reclaimed by private pumping plants are worth from $40 to $75 an acre. When settlers first tried to live in western Kansas it was thought that the country was useless except for graz ing purposes. Then it was found that bountiful crops could be raised if suf ficient moisture could be secured. Rain was not plentiful, and hot winds swept the country and scorched vegetation. Taking water from the Arkansas river, which has its source in the Rocky mountains was tried. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars were spent in building irrigating ditches, but it was found that the river was generally dry when water Then, in 18S9, windmill irrigation was proposed at Garden City. Wells were sunk and windmills were set to work pumping water into reservoirs. The un derground water supply was found to be inexhaustible. .The wind, which be fore had burned and shriveled, was the salvation of the farms, and Garden City found itself in the midst of a productive region. The government plan is to dup licate these private windmills and reser voir plants on a large scale. EMPORIA'S LIGHT PLANT. What It Earns for the City Monthly and the Expenses. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 9. The electric light plant earns about $1,700 each month and the expenses are about $900. The plant just about nays for itself, however, as all the money it earns is not paid in. Included in the earning power are the 101 electric lights which the city uses. Before the city took the plant, these lights cost the city about VJ a month, each, and since the city has owned the plant they cost $8.33. For merly they burned until 1 o'clock in the morning and now they burn until dav light. The city is getting better service at a less price. Between seven and eight hundred dollars is collected each month from electric light service. Osage. City Holdup. Osage, Kan., Oct. 9. Charles Patton was arrested here Sunday after having held up Ed Hildebrand in his own house at the point of a revolver. Patton ran- OLD SORES Old Sores that refuse to heal menace to health. They sap the vitality and undermine the constitution by draining the system of its very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of these ulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after another fails. They patiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but in spite of all these the sore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround ing flesh, destroying the tissues and growing to be a festering, inflamed and angry mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not do to depend on external applications for a cure, because they do not reach the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with such treatment; te most they caa do is keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is dangerous, for the reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind -ifUJea!e 5rouhx,7t oay through a remedy that can change the quality of tie blcod, and this is what S.

MAKING AX 1)1 lj ROAD. Experiment Being Tried Near Reno County" Reformatory. Hutchinson, Kan., Oct. 9. The super intendent of the state reformatory has a force of men at work south of the cemetery, preparing a stretch of road to be trea ted with oil as an experi ment in making oil roads in this section of the country. This stretch of road will be about 1.3C0 feet long and the grading is for a roadway 35 to 40 feet wide with sutters on each side. The city established tha grade and did a part of the work, which is being con- I tinued by tne rorce irom the reforma tory. The grading must be carefully dene since the oil gives the road' a per manency like aphaltum and justifies the expense of doing the work right. The work of puttine the oil on the roadway will be in charge of Prof. I Albert Dickens of tha Kansas State Agricultural college, who will arrive in I a few days.. He notifies Superintend ent K. E. Marshall that the oil has been shipped from southeastern Kan sas and is now en route. The oil car lias not yet arrived but is expected at I any time now. I EXHUMED A BODY. Mj st cry in a Chetopa Case Is Partially Unmveled. Chetopa, Kan., Oct. 9. The mystery in the Hunt murder care continues un solved, although Ed Harlan is in the Vinita jail and has confessed to the crime and Hunt's sister confesses as an. accomplice. Their stories do not agree. Each contradicts the other. It has transpired that Hunt was not shot at all, but Harlan says he struck him with a bottle partly filled with liquor. Judge Gill, of the United States court, accom panied by United States Attorney Stan field, Dr. Forkuer, several deputy mar shals and local medical authorities ex humed the body in the cemetery here and held a post mortem examination, which disclosed the fact that Hunt had received a powerful blow with some blunt instrument. Hunt's father is here from Missouri and is assisting in the investigation. THE BRIDGE WENT DOWN. A Dozen of Smith Kelly's Steers Went With It Frank Whitaker's Escape. As Smith Kelly was driving home his herd of steers Tuesday forenoon the bridge east of town across the Prairie Dog went down, letting about a dozen steers fall to the bed of the creek, 20 feet below, crippling six or seven head, one so badly that It had to be shot. Frank Whitaker who was helping Mr. Kelly drive the cattle had a very narrow escape. About 60 head of steers had crossed when Frank rode onto the middle of the bridge to keep the cattle rfrom crowdings on too fast. Looking ahead he saw that those that had crossed were starting for a cane field and hurriedly spurred his horse across to head them off. Hard ly had his horse's feet left the bridge when without warning, the entire bridge fell with a crash and the dozen or more steers that were on it were a struggling heap 2 0 feet below. Almena Plaindealer. IRRIGATION Git ANTED. Project at Garden City Aided by Con gressman Murdock. Wichita. Kas., Oct. 9. Congressman Vic tor Murdock has received word from Washington that the secretary of the in terior has approved the irrigation project at Garden City. The pumping plant will be one of the largest in the world. The farmers who will receive the benefit by the irrigation have formed the association necessary under the reclamation act. Work will begin at once. Profit in Kansas Oils. Cherryvale, Kas., Oct. 9. The profits to the refiner on the products of a barrel of Kansas crude oil. 28 degrees gravity, is $2.80. That includes the profits on gas oline, kerosene, machine oils, fuel oils, but not on coke, of which there is a small per centage. There is more profit in a barrel of 32 degree oil or 34 degree oil than there is in a barrel of 28 degree oil for the rea son there is a greater percentage of gaso line and kerosene in the high grade oil. As the four independent refineries in op eration in Kansas at this time are all uing low grade oil the figures given above represent their profit. Texas Fever Killing Cows. Pittsburg. Kas.. Oct. 9. Joseph H. Haurgardy, a dairyman living three miles northwest of town, has lost sixteen head of his herd of twenty-two milch cows within the last few days, and local vet erinarians are puzzled as to the nature of the disease. The cases were reported to the county attorny's office and on advice of the stockmen's association J. M. Mo Fall, a stockman of Coffeyville. was sent for. After examining the hides of the dead cattle Mr. McFall determined the cause of death to be Texas fever. Many Fort Riley Deserters. Junction City. Kas., Oct. 9. The post records at Fort Riley show that during August and September 97 soldiers deserted from Fort Riley. Seventy-seven deserted in August and 24 left in Eeptember. During the same months there were 311 trials by summary court. In commenting on these figures the Fort Riley Guidon says: "We feel sure that the return of the canteen privileges would alleviate conditions very materially.'' Charged With Mail Rohbery.

The pre liminary hearing of George Rlggins. his wife and her daughter, charged with starving and beating to death Riggins' 6-year-old son and adminis tering the same treatment to his 3-yer-old girl until she is at the point of death, was postponed until Tuesday. Sheriff Roodhouse went to Girard for the prisoners and reached Pawnee, ten miles south of here, with them, when he received a telegram from County Attorney Humphrey to come no further. It developed that it was the intention of the -officials to hold the train at the depot, have them waive the preliminary, "be bound over to the district court and taken back to Girard on the first train, but the people learned of the scheme and it was not carried out. Indignation still runs high and there is some question j whether the prisoners can be safely Drougnt here Tuesday. CLAY COUNTY FAIR. Races Well Filled for Four Days' Ses sion Oct. 11-14. Clay Center, Kas., Oct. 9. The Clay County Fair association opens October 11 for a four days' session. Races are well tilled and purses are very liberal. Farm ers are the principal stockholders and are making fine exhibits in all departments. This promises to be the best patronized fair ever held in the county. Well May Have Been Salted. Junction City. Kas., Oct. 9. The con tractor who have b en drilling the oil wen here announced that it would be aban doned on account of a strong flow of salt water coming up from a depth of 1,930 feet, filling the well and flowing into a creek. The pressure of the water is so great that it crushed the steel casing. Another well will be drilled nearby. It will be the third well put down here. The last well Is the deepest ever drilled in this part of the state and the only one in cen tral Kansas in which oil has been found. Couldn't Hear the Train. Garnett, Kan.. Oct. 9. Harvey Knauss, a cabinet maker, was run down and killed here Sunday about 10 o'clock by a K. N. D. extra freight train about two miles east of Garnett. Mr. Knauss was aproaching the train and did not notice it until it hit him. He was about 35 years old and deaf and dumb. He was well to do, owning sev eral houses in Garnett. Asleep on the Track.

A Doll Carriage Parade. Atchison, Kas., Oct. 9. There was a doll carriage flower parade in Atchison, con sisting of fifty-five features. The spirit has been rife in Atchison ever since the corn carnival and this parade was given by girls under 12 years of age. It came as a surprise to people and attracted cheers and exclamations of delight and the parade passed through the main streets. One little tot only two years old pushed a gayly decorated doll carriage. Big Gas Well Suike. Pleasanton, Kan., Oct. A- gaa well of 6,000,000 cubic feet has been "brought in" on the Carbon lease, west of town. The drillers worked hard all day getting it capped, and late in the evening the gas blew the cap off. This is the strongest well in the field, and its discovery Is causing general re joicing among the residents. Tried to Cut Her Throat. Osage City, Kan.. Oct. 9. Floyd Wal ker, a negro who claims to live in Law rence, was arrested here Sunday, charged with assault, with intent to kill. He struck a blunt, dull pocket knife blade into the throat of a woman who claims to be his wife. They were engaged in a fight. The wound is not dangerous.

A skeleton key was used to sain an en trance. A gold watch and $60 in money was secured by the burglar. NICHOLSON'S NEW PLANS. Will Spend $2,000,000 of Santa Fe Money to Exploit Southwest. A special dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat from Chicago says: "In selecting George T. Nicholson for third vice president of the system, to succeed Paul Morton, Santa Fe directors are preparing for a new campaign in favor of settlement of the southwest by middle west and eastern farmers. The Santa Fe, like many other of the trunk lines, Is looking for .the new set tler who wishes to make a permanent home. The 1902 reclamation act of the government, in regard to unirrigated districts, has induced the farmers of the middle and eastern country to develop that section. The new general traffic manager of the Santa Fe is to particu larly care for it. Mr. Nicholson grew up in Kansas, al though born in the south. He said re cently: "I knew for years what Kansas physically and financially passed through before she came to her present high standing. I knew Kansas in the days of the mortgages, and I knew her when her farm debts were paid, and I have always believed in Kansas." It is expected to cost the Santa Fe system something like $2,000,000 during the next five years to exploit the south west, but the Nicholson idea is to get the facts and give them the widest publicity possible in the belief that they pay for themselves in due time. STEAMERS RUNNING AGAIN. Japanese Line Connecting With Union Pacific Road hi Ooeration. As one result of the end of war be tween Russia and Japan, the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, or Oriental Steamship company, operating in connection with the Union Pacific Railway company, has resumed its service on the Pacific. Mail, passenger and freight service be tween San Francisco and the established ports of call in Japan and China, via Honolulu, have been re-established. The American Maru sailed from Kobe September and will arrive at San Francisco October 17. It will leave San Francisco October 27. and is booked to arrive at Hongkong November 27. The Hongkong Maru and the Nirtron Maru will in the near future resume their places in the schedule. A boon to travelers. Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.

MANY ALREADY BUILT. Routes Will Be Run in All Directions. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Railroad Circles. If the present plans of a number of railroad companies are carried out Oklahoma territory within a few years will be honeycombed with railroads. They will cover the territory in all directions, running north, southeast and west, rtdiatine from Guthrie and Oklahoma City and making connec tions with roads leading to all parts of the country. The Guthrie, Fairview Western Railroad company was chartered a little over one year ago, to build from the city of Guthrie to a connection with the Kansas City, Mexico Orient railway near Fairview, Okla., and also a line from Oklahoma City to a con nection with the. Guthrie and Fairview line at Kingfisher. Since its organiza tion this railroad company has secured valuable terminals in Guthrie and Oklahoma City, made permanent lo cation of its entire line, secured all right of way and hs ten miles be tween the )rient connection and Dar row, in Blaine county, ready for the rails. While financing this company, the promoters became convinced of the necessity of a northwest-southwest line through Oklahoma and Indian territories, from Trinidad to Shreve port. They accordingly took out the new charter for the Guthrie, Shawnee Shreveport railroad, which will build from Guthrie in a southeasterly direction, by way of Shawnee. South McAlester, Paris and Mount Pleasant, Tex., to Shreveport, which point is the head of navigation, as well as having two air lines, the Texas Pacific and the Louisiana Railway Navigation company, between that city and, New Orleans. They have also taken out a charter for the Colorado, Oklahoma Central fc New Orleans railroad, which will build from the point where the Guthrie, Fairview Western connects with the Kansas City, Mexico Orient, near Fairview, by way of Selling;' Cestos, Mutual. Woodward, Beaver, Guyamon, to Trinidad, Col., thus supplying the large territory in western Oklahoma with coal from the Trinidad coal fields. A person looking at the map will observe that nearly all the rail roads in Oklahoma,.' outside of the Choctaw, Fort Smith Western and a Frisco branch, run north and south, or from northeast tosouthwest. Peo ple in Woodward and Beaver counties desiring to get to Guthrie by rail are compelled to make a detour Into the state of Kansas and back in order to Accomplish this. Western Oklahoma, In the matter of coil, has been at the mercy of the Rock Island-Choctaw system. With the building of the Kan- tas City, Mexico Orient in a north-ast-southwest direction throuerh west ern Oklahoma and the completion of these three lines, which will be known hereafter as the West India Short Line, the people of western Oklahoma will get their coal from both east and west, and will be no longer compelled to pay tribute to one particular rail road. The promoters of the West India Short Line have taken time by the forelock, and have arranged with steamship companies, to run between New Orleans and Havana and other West India ports, and if, when their line is completed between Trinidad and Shreveport, they cannot make proper traffic arrangements with steamship companies between Shreve port and New Orleans, they will estab lish their own steamship line down Red river from Shreveport to New Orleans. This line, as compared with other lines now in existence from Denver and other common points in Colorado, is 104 miles the shortest route. This line would be a valuable proposition for the Gould inter ests when completed, as a glance at the map will show that from Shreveport to A LITTLE STEALTH "Let Not Thy Left Hand Know What Thy Right Hand Doeth," Especial ly When the Left Is a Bit Cranky. Some of the most lovable and best people in the world are cranky, and a "leetle" hard to manage, particularly when you want to do them good. Then it Is that justifiable and righteous artfulness may be resorted to. As, for instance, in the following case given by a devoted wife and mother, in Iowa "This Spring my daughter, who is a teacher, became convinced that coffee was doing her harm, as it caused dis tress and belching after eating. She felt that she needed a warm drink In the morning bmi disliked hot water or milk. Then our daily use of Grape Nuts suggested Postum. "For some time my husband, who has been a user of coffee from his youth, had been more than usually troubled with sleeplessness and nerv ousness and I felt that Postum might be helpful to him. The question was, how to persuade them to leave off drinking coffee and try Postum, against which they had repeatedly expressed prejudice. I resolved to try an experiment and make the test. "Without acquainting them with the fact I made Postum according to di rections, but added a teaspoonful of good coffee. I poured it out with some misgivings, but was delighted to see that no one could tell from its ap pearance that it was not rich, strong coffee. Its use was continued for a week with the coffee addition, then that was gradually withdrawn, until only the pure Postum remained, and still the change had not been detected. "Two" things were very noticeable, however, that my daughter had begun to rapidly improve In health, her dyspepsia left, and my husband was enjoying sweet, refreshing sleep. "When I ventured to tell them what I had done, he asked for a return to the coffee, and I gladly made it for him; but one day satisfied him, the old sleeplessness .came back and h told jne he liked tljLC Postum better So we have used ft 'ever since to the benefit of the whole family." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in each package for the fam ous little book "The Road to Well-vllle." New Orleans they"fiave an air line, be sides having the Denver and Rio Grande covering all points-'in Colorado through west to Ogden. This line from Shreveport to Trinidad will fill the gap. and would give them a through Hne from Ogden to New Orleans, thus saving 40 miles from the northwest Pacific states to New Or leans over the route now traversed by the Southern Pacific. The West India Short Line is being built by the United States Construction com pany, which company is being financed by Philadelphia capitalists, except a small portion of the stock, which is being placed among the citizens In towns into which this line will be built. No bonuses of any kind or nature are asked of the citizens along the Mne. All are given a chance to invest in the stock of the construction company.; the balance being subscribed for by eastern, capitalists. The promoters of this line hope to have' the same completed within the next two years. ENGINE TUMBLES OVER. Remarkable That Engineer and Fire man Were Not KiUed. Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 9. That En gineer John Haskins and Fireman Robinson, of the United Verde rail road are now alive is one of the re markable features attending the cap sizing of their engine Saturday after noon about 2 o'clock. The train was heading towards Jerome, and was at a point known as Bridge No. 17, near Horseshoe Bend, "When the engine left the rails and tumbled over on the side of the track next to the embankment. Haskins was severely bruised, but was not seri ously injured, and did not even have a broken bone to show for his thrill ing experience. Robinson was on the side of the cab that fell toward the upper side. He was pinned under the engine, but managed to crawl out of a space bare ly large enough, it is said, for a jack rabbit. He emerged from the hole a badly soared man, and was amazed to find that he had not been injured in any particular. Two flat cars and a coke car also were, derailed, but no damage occur red. Word was wired to Jerome from a signal box, and a special train left that point for the scene of the acci dent, the expectation being that there had been a great disaster. The train men on the special were greatly re lieved upon finding that matters had turned out so fortunately. After suna work, the track was cleared, and the afternoon train for the junction pulled out on schedule time, an t it returned in the evening without any delay occurring. The Haskins' family seems to have been liorn under a lucky star, for the brother of John, who is also an en gineer, rolled down the canyon a few years ago with his engine, and escaped with his life. TWO MORE EXTENSIONS. Great Northern Proposes to Run Tills Many to Boundary. Chicago, Oct. 9. Announcement has been made by the Great Northern rail way management of no fewer than ten extensions, which are to be made at once from main and branch lines into the international boundary. This ac tion is taken to mean that James J. Hill is preparing for an active invasion of the rich Canadian provinces that lie north of his lines in North Dakota, Montana and Washington. A glance at the map discloses the fact that Mr. Hill already has at least eight lines of rail way pushed close to the border line be sides those which have invaded Cana dian soil. Up till recently, however, it has been understood that there was an agreement between Mr. Hill and the Canadian Pacific interests regarding territory. Four of the extensions northward will be known as the Sarles extension ori the Lakota branch from Edmore to Sarles, wholly Within Ramsey and Cav alier counties. The Thome extension comes next and will start from York, on the main line, and extend northwest ward through a rich farming country a distance of 42 miles to Thorne, in the Turtle mountain district. The Maxbass extension comes third, and it will start from the main lkie at Towner and run northwest to Maxbass, a distance of 46 miles. The Sherwood extension starts from Granville on the main line and runs northwest to Sherwood through the country called the Mouse river loop. KICKING ON REFORM LAW. Wisconsin Citizens Find New Railroad Measure Works Hardship. A Milwaukee correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce has this to say on the operating of the new law governing railroads, which was passed by the last session of the Wis consin legislature: "The new Wisconsin railroad law was framed under the personal direction of Mr. E. P. Bacon, and had the full ap proval of Governor La Follette; and a majority of the people of the state gave it express or tacit approval by electing Mr. La Follette governor. But the citi zens have not found perfect satisfaction in their new law. One of its provisions was the prohibition of free passes, but now they find that this works against the interests of the state. Larjre areas of vacant lands in the north have been settled by immigrants who were brought there by real estate agents, and the real estate agents were able to carry on their business because the railroads gave them free or reduced rate transportation, but they don't get the passes and the immigrants don't come. The railroads are also forbidden to make reduced rates for harvest hands and a farmer must go without the temporary help which he has de pended upon In the harvest season. Per sons traveling for pleasure can no long er stop over in Wisconsin, the new law forbidding stopovers. Even the inmates of soldiers' homes have been chilled by the new law, as they now have to pay their fare when they ride. As for freight rates, the shippers of the state are trembling in their shoes lest some body shall precipitate a lot of reduc tions which will deaden manufacturing business." YARIMASTER REL3ASED. Goods Stolen From M. P. Yards at Fort Scott Not Traced to Smith. Fort Scott, Kas., Oct. 9. George W. Smith, formerly yardmaster of the Mis souri Pacific railroad in this city, who was arrested on a charge of having partici pated in the disposal of thousands of dol lars' worth of goods stolen from freight cars, was released Saturday and the case thrown out of court. The stolen goods were identified by a firm In this city, but it was impossible for the state to show by whom the box was taken from the business house to the depot. The transfer companv identified the bills of lading, but the signatures could not be identified and the employe handling the box could not be located. -When Judge Simons declared that this was a missing link and must be proven, County-Attorney Humphrey asked that the. case be dismissed. William Parks, another man arrested on the same charge, was dismissed this morning. ENGLISH MONEY FOR MEXICO. Syndicate to Spend Millions on Rail road and Timber Lands. Austin, Texas, Oct. 9.

The English capitalists recently secured an option upon these properties and they now have experts on the THE TURN OF LIFE A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many Dread Diseases Intelligent Women Prepare for It.

Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time in vites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the ten dency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of ner vous irritations, make life a burden.

Chicago Alton to Red uce Sunday Traffic to Minimum. Sunday traffic on the Chicago and Alton railroad is to be reduced to a minimum. Time cards are to be revised, and only necessary trains will be run on Sunday. The passenger schedules will not be af fected materially by the new order, but there will be fewer freight trains, and Sunday excursions are under the ban. This will be where the innovation will be felt the most, for the Alton has been noted for its Sunday excursions. The formal order, which will be issued next week, will say that the reason for the change is the desire of the Alton management to give the employes of the road, as far as possible, Sunday for a day of rest. C. A. Goodnow, general manager of the Alton, was for years at the head of the operating department of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. While with the St. Paul Mr. Goodnow dis couraged Sunday traffic as much as pos sible, and to this day it is the policy of the St. Paul to operate as few trains as possible on Sunday. Now Mr. Goodnow is to put his Sunday policy in effect on the Alton. W. M. Corbett, superintendent of the western division of the Alton, was in Springfield, 111., yesterday in conference with Mr. Goodnow. "Mr. Goodnow told me yesterday of his purpose to discourage unnecessary Sunday traffic," said Mr. Corbett. "It is a policy with which I am thoroughly in accord. The paramount consideration with the management of the Alton in connection with this new order is to give as many of the employes as possible a day of rest on Sunday. Only necessary traffic will be handled." Horace G. Burt, while president of the Union Pacific, discouraged unnecessary Sunday traffic, and the Union Pacific has practically no Sunday passenger excur sions. RAILWAY AFFAIRS IN KOKEA. Now That War Is Over Tliere Is Great Development in This Line. Now that the war in the far east is over, the general prospects are that Korea will come in for a great deal of consideration and discussion, commer cial, financial and industrial.

The rest are set over against move ments in foreign goods in and out of Korean ports, In transit, etc. Railroad material for more than $2,316,490 was entered. The best array of the year's figures leaves a large balance in favor of foreign lands and an adverse one against Korea. Natural hindrances to trade are being overcame by scientific methods worthy of the west or by ex pedients worthy of the east. For ex ample, the shallowness of the river at Chemulpo long hindered the arrival of large vessels. This is to be obviated by running rails over bridges to two is lands near deep water. The work is be ing done by the Japanese. Trains are to run from the mainland alongside of steamers dockedon the deep-water side of the islands. Rocks have been blasted, piers, docks, wharves, etc., built at great cost; but it is believed the increase of business expected will more than make up for any probable expenditures. The latest population figures give Korea 6,000,000 souls, including Ham Keung, a province in the north, under Russia be fore the war. Seoul, the capital, has 200,000 and is constantly increasing. There are 50,000 Japanese in the king dom. WESTERN PACIFIC TUNNELS. Two Long Ones to Be Bored at Spring Garden and Beckwitb. San Erancisco, Oct. S.

"00 FULL leased wire report of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EVERY WEEK DAY AND PUBLISHERS' PRESS REPORT ON SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE EDITION FOR SUNDAY MORNING. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or sanlzation for exclusive evening publi cation in Topeka. The State Journal receives for exclusive publication the leased wire report of the Publishers' Press for the edition for Sun day morning. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. "Life Insurance men," says Mr. Mc Call, "never resign." But they some times get kicked out. Now Is the time for Mr. Dougherty of Peoria to come forward and say that he did it on a bet. Missouri didn't send a telegram col lect to Mr. McCall to tell him about It. but It means business Just the same. Mr. Cortelyou seems to have joined the ranks of the stand-patters, when it comes to giving back campaign con tributions. It is rumored that Colorado has a case of yellow fever, but it need not think that it can' get a visit from the president this fall that way. All the world loves a lover, but It is pretty hard to work up much tender sentiment over the king of Spain in his efforts to find a wife. If General Gomez will consult the advertising columns of some of the New York newspapers he will doubt fJess find a remedy for his liver. For a dry fall there is certainly a generous supply of mud in the Ohio campaign. This would indicate that things in Ohio are not as dry as they seem. The claim that the English way of playing football Is less brutal than the American way is undoubtedly true. It 4s different and it must therefore neces sarily be less brutal. It is stated that St. Petersburg re fuses to give Count Witte the freedom of the city. It has been a long time since the czar has had the freedom of the city. Young Mr. McCurdy tried his best to keep his foreign commissions down, f course, but he just couldn't keep them much below a hundred thousand last year. If Harry Bone should be appointed United States district attorney he would also have the nerve and the smew to match his name In going after the trusts that violate the federal laws. It is not surprising that Mr. James J. Hill thinks rates in this country are all right. He makes a good many of them and if he didn't think they were right he would doubtless raise them a little. Supposing Webb McNall were superintendent of insurance in Kan sas now, what do you suppose Kan sas would be doing to the Big Three insurance companies? Since' Mr. Dougherty of Peoria has bene compelled to acknowledge that he Is short, his friends believe he Is a kleptomaniac. Cannot the Insurance Ifrafters find some polite term for their crimes also? When "Constant Reader" or old 'Veritas" writes letters to the Pekin Tslng Rao. they do not begin by say ing that they have subscribed for the paper ever since it started. It has been published for 1,400 years. With a free-for-all senatorial race on the boards for next year and en tries from every portion of the state, In addition to the nomination of a state ticket. Kansas will have politics to burn during the next fourteen months. Now that Mr. Dougherty's friends are convinced that kleptomania caused him to steal a few hundred thousand dollars from the funds en trusted to his care, cannot Tom Kelly think of some nice, lady-like sort of name as an excuse for his thefts? The preliminary exposures in the case of the New York Mutual make the Equitable look almost as pure as baking powder. Young Mr. McCurdy had young Mr, Hyde bested by several degrees when It came to making a good thing out of being the son of an Insurance magnate. Among other conditions of the New York Life continuing to do business In Nevada will probably be that it pay the $6.30 due, on that collect telegram which the Nevada insurance superin tendent sent to President McCall tell ing him he would have to resign or take his doll rags out of the state. There was a, spirited argument in Osage City the other night, according to the Free fress. one man was making a great fuss about people eat ing horse meat In the Pacific coast La tea. He opposed the practice. His friend said: "Do you eat pork?" The fussy man said he did, of course. "Then," replied the other, "I would be mighty careful what I said about good, clean horse." FRANK NELSON. It is becoming quite evident that the other candidates for Senator Burton's place in the United States senate will have to reckon with Frank Nelson of Lindsborg. While Mr. Nelson has not announced his candidacy there is little doubt that he will be in the race when the time comes. The former superintendent of public instruction is developing a strong fol lowing. He has a great many admirers all over the state, and expressions from various localities Indicate that he will be likely to have enough votes in the legislature to make him a factor in the race. Frank Nelson is a man of strong character. He is of the material of which statesmen are made. A man of undoubted integrity, he has ideas which he Is not afraid to stand for, and his work for tho upbuilding of the schools of Kansas made a lasting impression upon our public school system. Had he been continued at their head it would have been far better for the schools. In addition to his other qualifications Mr. Nelson is a finished public speaker, rec ognized as one of the great orators of the west. There will be other strong men in the race for the senatorship, but Frank Nelson will not be the least of them. He may not secure the place, but the other candidates will know that he has a loyal following. That he undoubtedly intends to make the race is shown by this extract from the paper which he formerly edited, the Lindsborg News: "Mr. Nelson left Sunday morning for a two months' lecture tour in the northwest. He made no announcement of his candidacy before leaving. It is believed, however, that he will rr.ake a formal announcement of his candi dacy upon his return to the state the latter part of November. The News is in a position to know that Mr. Nelson has already secured promise of support from every congressional district in the state with the exception of the Third district." A AVORD FOR CARR TAYLOR. One of the best recommendations In favor of Carr W. Taylor, attorney for the state board of railroad commission ers. Is the attack made on him by a Kansas City railroad organ. This same Kansas City paper is also strenuously fighting President Roosevelt and his proposal that the federal government shall take a hand In railroad rate reg ulation. It can always be defended on to take the side of the railroads against the people, and therefore its opposition to Mr. Taylor is a point in his favor. Mr. Taylor seems to be doing good work for the people of Kansas. Beins the first attorney under the new law he had a considerable amount of pre liminary work to do in gathering data before he could begin suits to correct discriminations, but now he is coing after excessive and discriminatory rates in a way that promises success, provid ed the railroad commission stands by him. This is what has aroused the Mis souri railroad organ against him. Incidentally It might be mentioned that Mr. Taylor did much of the work that overthrew the grain trust In Kan sas. While county attorney of Reno county he brought action against the gtain trust under tne ar.ti-trust law. The action came to a standstill by the refusal of Secretary Smiley, of the grain dealers' association to testify. fenortly after Mr. Taylor started his suit, a similar action was besun in Rush county, and the two were carried to the state supreme .court together. The Rush county suit was the one that Mr. Smiley carried to the United States su preme court, but Mr. Taylor was the first to betin action under the anti trust law. A QUESTION OF ETHICS. The announcement that George B. Cortelyou is not to resign from the chairmanship of the Republican na tional committee, as he had intended a few weeks ago. is of more than pass ing significance. It Is presumed that the announcement is brought about by the exposure that has been made con cerning the contribution of at least one big insurance company to the Repub lican national committee for the last campaign. While it has undoubtedly been the custom of national committees of all parties to take whatever contributions they could get in the past, the facts concerning this contribution are some what embarrassing to the national ad ministration at this time, particularly so as Chairman Cortelyou is also a member of President Roosevelt's cabi net. President Roosevelt Is making a stand for honesty in public affairs, and the inference to be drawn by a contri bution of nearly fifty thousand dollars by an insurance company to the party which It expected to win, Is that the officials of the company wished to thereby purchase the Influence of the party leaders against any legislation or action directed against them. If the contribution was accepted In good faith and from right motives the proper thing for Chairman Cortelyou to do Is to stay at the head of the com mittee and prove It, and this seems to be what he Is doing. There has been some agitation look ing to the return of the contribution by the committee, but it is announced that some of the party leaders believe this would be a virtual acknowledg ment that its acceptance was wrong, and that it will therefore not be re turned. There is argument on both sides of this proposition. It cannot be denied that the contribution on the part of the officers of the company was wrong, for they took money that should have gone to the policyholders and gave it to a cause in which they were personally Interested and which might have been directly opposed to the interests and wishes of the policy holders themselves. From a high moral standpoint It would be proper to return money given under a misappre hension, but this would be not only ex tremely unusual, but it would be far above the standard of the average in dividual, let alone that of a political committee. JOURNAL ENTRIES How Webb McNall must laugh when he reads the n wi.iitr com ments about his old Trl.mJ and i.cm rade, John A. McCall! The dispatches announce that a Chicago man has had his appendix cut out and a lead pncil was found in it. Be careful where you lose your pencils. i. i Nobody likes to be bossed by a woman except her husband, and he has to like it. Ewing Herbert says the politicians are against his candidacy for con gress. Mr. Herbert guessed right the first time. But they are not the only ones. When Mr. Rockefeller read that Pat Crowe had planned to kidnap him the thought of his narrow escape doubtless made the hair stand up stralg'it on his new wig. Del Valentine has investigated and he certifies that there Is no lid in sight at Portland. 4 Mr. Dougiierty's friends think he is a kleptomaniac, which is another name for stealomantac. a President McCall probably thinks he Is right in saying that Insurance men never resign, but if he is at all observing he cannot fall to see that toboggan slide that is being put up in his vicinity. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Some men's reminiscences are really confessions. It Is said that if two men trade Ben Davis apples for turnips, neither one is cheated. An Atchison woman is called "Ever lasting," behind her back, because she has outlived three husbands. An Atchison man Is so easily affect ed by liquor that to hit him with a rotten apple makes him drunk Some men are so tied down at home that they can cause a sensation by going Into a restaurant and ordering a meal. This Is such a precocious age that girl children are discovering they are good looking fifteen years younger than they used to make the discovery. We have noticed by a careful read ing of the papers that they no longer "trip the light fantastic" except where there is a dance in the barn. We ven ture New York never heard of it. The practicing by the colored band on lower Commercial street last night was not as harmonious as usual, and perhaps this will explain it: Some were trying No. 39, and others were rehearsing No. 67. We wonder that Edward Bok hasn't discovered this important truth, and pounded it into his readers: Learn to be happy when alone, for that will be your condition for many weeks, months and years before you are left alone at last where no one can disturb you. An Atchison woman has a horrible secret, which she has never dared tell a soul, not even her own husband, and it Is her constant terror that It will be discovered. She visited a friend in an adjoining town lately, and while she met some very agreeable people she has found since returning home that she did not meet one of the "society" peo ple of the town. Joseph Pipke of Milwaukee is suing for divorce, charging that his wife fed him on tar soap, and that he swelled up so he couldn't wear anything but a bathrobe. It is wonderful what origin ality a woman will conceive after she once becomes a wife. We venture that In her wildest dreams no unmarried woman ever thought of feeding a man on tar soap. It is the married woman who is unique and original. Art is something which the ordinary brain cannot comprehend. Sargent, the big portrait painter, had an order to paint a picture of a professor of Ox ford university. When it was done, the whiskers were blue. The professor complained. "They looked blue to me," said the great Sargent, and blue they had to remain. Blue the' un doubtedly were, but the eye thp.l lack ed the fire of artistic genius failed to see it. Anthropometry. Anthropometry does not seem to be always infallible. The Paris detective bureau, wanting a missing thief, had proofs drawn of six photographs of the man, taken in different positions some time before. These were sent, with careful specifications of body measure ments, marks, finger prints, and so on, to various parts of France. The Paris office recently received from the local ohief of police in a small town the fol lowing letter: "Photographs of the iccused persons whom you desired me to trace duly to hand. I am happy to be able to inform you that I have suc ceeded in arresting five of the men, whom I now have under lock and key. My best detective assures me that he Is on the track of the sixth man and will certainly capture him before long." One on Elihu. Elihu Root said to his office boy one day: "Who carried off my paper bas ket?" "It was Mr. Riley," said the boy. "Who is Mr. Riley?" asked Mr. Root. "The janitor, sir." An hour later Mr. Root asked: "Jimmle, who opened that window?" "Mr. Lantz, sir." "And who Is Mr. Lantz?" "The window cleaner, sir." Mr. Root wheel ed about and looked at the boy. "See here. James," he 'said, "we call men by their first names here. We don't 'mis ter' them in this office. Do you under stand?" "Yes, sir." In ten minutes the door opened and a small, shrill voice said: "There is a man here as wants to see you, Elihu." Chicago News. Just Like a Woman. "John, a peddler came around today selling stove polish. He was a very agreeable gentleman. Why, he talked so pleasantly about the weather." "You don't siy, Maria?" "Yes, and I bought a package. Then he complimented the baby and I bought another package." "H'm." "Presently he said our vestibule was kept In better order than any In the neighborhood, and then I bought anoth er package." "Great Scott!'" "Before he left he said he thought I was your daughter instead of being old enough to be your wife. Then I bought three additional packages. Oh, it don't do any harm to encourage a real gen tleman when you meet one." Chicago News. How Not to Do It. This notice was observed posted In the engine dispatcher's office at the round-house In a neighboring town on one of the railway lines running out of Albany. N. Y.: "Trainmen on pass enger trains must not go through the coaches with overalls on. without first taking them off. F. B. L." KANSAS COMMENT J WHAT OOBURN DOES. According to the Kansas papers Sec retary Coburn is the most unscrumi lous fellow in the state. He willfully and maliciously made an error of from 500 to 5,000 in the home town while in rival towns he counted many of the people two or three times. Cherryvale Republican. o HONESTY NEEDED. Grover Cleveland has not recovered from the habit of calling a digging tool a spade. Mutualizaticn of an Insur ance company doesn't look to him like a cure-all. He knows that unless a good man is behind the desk, the pal try investment in life Insurance wouldn't be any restraining influence if a "chance" to steal $1,000,000 "crawled up to the window" and wink ed at him. Independence Reporter. A GOOD WORD. The Gazette is going to help Topeka in getting up a big semi-centennial cel ebration for Kansas in 1911. It is go ing to urge the whole state to join hands and work as one community. It is going to favor an appropriation at the hands of the legislature to helo the enterprise. It is going to say a good word for it whenever an opportunity offers. It is going to do everything in its power to make of the event the greatest thing of the kind in Kansas history. We hope that the semi-centennial will be such a success, and such an honor to the state that when our children and grandchildren celebrate the centennial of Kansas in 1961 they will recall the fact that 50 years before, their ancestors properly celebrated the day when the state reached the half century mark. It is a matter of patri otism, a matter of a Kansan's duty to aid in this. The Gazette hopes that all little jealousies and selfish thoughts will be put away, and that every city and every citizen will get together for the good and' the advancement of Kansas, and help the seml-centennlal. Lawrence Gazette. A DIFFERENCE. The railroads are pretty smooth. In Nebraska they are arguing eagerly in favor of freight regulation, and declar ing that the railroad pass has nothing to do with the matter. The railways feel reasonably sure that they can de feat equal rate legislation so long as they can retain the pass giving power. An exchange remarks that it will be well to beware of the man or newspa per which talks antl-railroad and pro pass at the same time. We have some newspapers of that order In Kansas. Leavenworth Times. o FROM A SOCIALIST. It cost the government $40,000,000 last year to have the mails transported by the railroads. Now perhaps you can see why the railroads take such an inter est In politics, and are against govern ment ownership. Hill City Reveille. REMARKABLE. No one is surprised to see a new the ory of 'the creation of the solar sys tem advanced by a Chicago university professor. The only remarkable thing is that he didn't claim that he had a hand In it himself.-i Boston Globe. CAN GRAB A ROOT. Some newspapers are lamenting President Roosevelt's determination to retire from the presidency at the end of his term. There Is no reason to be Inconsolable. The country always has -r ii i. i I DESERVES CARNEGIE "MEDAL. Adolph Wilson of Nicholasville, who was in a railroad wreck in Indiana last Friday, attributes the saving of his life to the action of a mule. He says: "When I came to my senses a huge tim ber was lying across my back, which I could not move. In glancing around, looking for help. I discovered a mule standing within a few feet of where I was pinioned, looking at me" as if wishing to render assistance. Soon the mule turned its heels toward me and began to kick. The first kick struck the timber a glancing lick, the second hit it full and just grazed my ear, which now shows the mark, as you can see, and somewhat moved the timber. The third kick raised it sufficiently for me to slide from under, and as I arose from the ground the mule followed, evidently satisfied with the good work accomplished." Harrodsburg (Ky.) Herald. 0 IDENTIFIED. A Boston woman after selecting some embroidery in one of the big de partment stores, discovered that she had not money enough with her to pay for it. She had never opened an ac count in this particular shop, and it was therefore agreed that the clerk should put the goods aside until the next day, when the purchaser should come for it with cash in hand. When the woman returned the day follow ing to get her embroidery she could not, remember which of the saleswo men had waited upon her. After puz zling over the matter for a moment, however, she approached one who looked vaguely fa.-nlliar and asked, "Am I the woman who bought some embroidery here yesterday?" "Yes'm," replied the girl, stolidly, and turned to get it. Youth's Companion. WITNESSED BIBLICAL TRAGEDY. Senator Tillman of South Carolina tells of a, little girl whose statements were always exaggerated until she be came known in schoqi and Sunday school as "a little llar. Her parents were dreadfully worried about her and made strenuous efforts to correct the bad habit. One afternoon her mother overheard an argument with her play mate. Willie Bangs, who seemed to finish the discussion by saying em phatically: "I'm older than you, 'cause my birthday comes first. In May, artd yours don't come until September." "Oh, of course your birthday comes first." sneeringly answered little Nellie; "but that is 'cause you came down first; I remember looking at the an gels when they were making you." "Come here, Nellie: come here In stantly," cried her mother. "It is breaking mother's heart to hear you tell such awful Rtorles. Re member what happened to Ananias and Sapphtra, don't you?" "Oh, yes, mamma, I know. They were struck dead for lying. I saw them carried into the corner drug store." Pittsburg Dispatch. Modest Mr. ITynn. The Hon. E. B. Flynn of Springfield. Vt., the attorney who secured the stay of execution for Mary Rogers, and who probably will argue her case be fore the supreme court of the United States next October, is a witty man. While on his way to the supreme court chambers, at Montpeller, to ar gue her case for a new trial, ne carried several law books' under his arm. A friend remarked, pointing to the books: "Why, I thought you carried all that stuff In your head." "I do," quickly replied the lawyer, with a knowing wink; "these are for the judges." Boston Herald. i F&OM OTHER PENS N "WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP AT NiGirr." When you go to sleep at night In the dim and silent room Where the lilacs' faint perfume Steals upon the air as light As the star-dust through the gloom Be your dreams as soft and bright When you go to sleep at night. In the tired wonder-eyes Sleep has crept and kissed them down; Far beyond the sleeping town In the clouds the white moon dies Fading through the starry crown. Silently when quiet lies On the tired wonder-eyes. When you go to sleep at night Though the world be wholly gray May your journeys ever stray To the shores of dream-delight; World and weariness away. Sin and sorrow shut from sight When you go to sleep at night. Sydney Kennedy, in Brooklyn Times. His High Mission. "Ladies and gentlemen," said the lec turer at the dime museum, "I call your particular attention to the cadaverous specimen of the human family now on the platform before you. This, ladles and gentlemen, is no ordinary living skeleton. He is not a freak in any sense of the term. He Is a vlcltm If I may use the term to a high and noble purpose.

He is not doing this in order to demonstrate that It can be done. It has been done before. Neither is he doing it for notoriety or paltry gain. It was with extreme reluctance that he consented to place himself on exhibition. He is undergoing this vol untary fast, ladies and gentlemen, sole ly for the purpose of doing all that one man can do to break up the Infamous combinations, from the beef trust down to the breakfast food trust, that are enriching tnemselves at the expense of the people.

"A School for Boys," in the October Every body's: "It costs the state of Ohio about $160 a year for each boy. A useful, capable man is worth to society, on the average, $10,000. These 11,000 boys cost the state of Ohio then, say, $2,000,000. Say 7,000 of them were rescued. That is $70,000,000 recovered to society on the investment of $2, 000,000. It has been figured that every criminal does about $2,000 dam age a year, leaving entirely out of the estimate what it costs to maintain our plant for the detention, prevention, and punishment of crime. Each man will be a criminal ndt less than twenty years. That's $40,000 damages mul tiplied by 7,000 boys, or $280,000,000 damages saved, not counting the cost of the antlcrlmlnal plant. Has it paid to run this boy's industrial school at Lancaster? "And even if 'ladn't paid financial ly. Isn't it wort. hile?" Piece of Impiety. A clergyman was condemning a man who had refused to subscribe to a worthy charity. "I'll tell you something about that man," he said, "which I had promised myself never to reveal. It was as nasty a pieec of irreverence, I guess, as his tory records.

At the end of the second week he con cluded the usual mornins exhortation with this sentence: 'And. Lord, bless, we beseech Thee. Brother Jonathan, Sharp, who leaves us by the 3 o'clock train this afternoon." Revenge. In Paris the police have discovered a woman whose peculiar sort of pat riotism has been compared to that, of Boule de Sulf in Guy de Maupassant's story. She was arrested recently for having robbed a German merchant of 68. To the magistrate she made a strange declaration. She said that her main object in life was to decoy Ger mans and rob them. She went about with them to cafes and music halls, and while affecting to be very inter ested in them she picked their pockets. In this way she had annexed for sev eral years past over 700. She had picked the pockets of exactly 67 Ger mans, and she was proud of It. As her reason for thus acting the woman said that In 1870 her family in Normandy had been completely ruined by the German lavaders, who stole her fath er's cattle, pigs, fowls and even plate. She was then obliged to go out as a dairy maid, but not beins accustomed to servitude she came to Paris and began waylaying and robbing Ger mans. The magistrate listened to this tale calmly. It made no impression on him, for he sent the new Boule de Suif back to the depot, there to await trial. London Telegraph. It's Major Slnirtz Now. Here is proof of the old theory that jokes are long-lived. A publication af about a century ago contained the following: "Two old 'bucks' bowing politely at a dance. 'How d'ye do, sir? I've certainly been In your com pany before, but I a- really forget your name.' 'If you please, sir, I made your breeches." 'Major Bridges! I'm sure very happy to see you, ma jor. Very happy, indeed!' A century later the same incident again made the rounds, only slightly changed. "Two men In evening dress outside a ballroom. Retired Tailor 'Ah! how d'ye do, Mr. Jordan!' Jordan 'Er really I hope you'll pardon me, but I don't quite remember.' Retired Tailor (In a loud whisper) 'Made j'our breeches! Jordan (quickly, fearing some one may have over heard) 'Why, yes, of course! Major Bridges. How d'ye do?'" A Young Lawyer. Attorney John T. Cook is always full of reminiscent tales of the experiences of the profession. To a group of friends the other evening he told the following: "A young lawyer in the country dis tricts went before the justice of the peace in his town with his first case. He asked for a postponement so that he could prepare his ease. The defend ant was charsed with breach of the peace and public intoxication. Tt was a very plain case, but the young lawyer contended that he would require a cou ple of hours to make his argument for a postponement. "I can understand all you have to say in a few minutes." said the jude. "I am satisfied that I shall take fully two hours In my argument," persisted the young lawyer. "Very well; have your own way; but it will take the prisoner about 180 days to tell why he employed you." Albany Journal. THE EVENING STOR Y ONE WOMAN'S STORY. People liked to look at Selma. The fair, blonde beauty which had been hers as a girl In Sweden and which had brought her admirers In plenty when she came to America had not disap peared in the six years she had been married to John. If its placidity was tinged with a hint of patience and resignation, they but proved an added attraction. The tenants of7 the big flat building of which John was janitor had grown fond of his wife, after a fashion. There was something In the unconscious way her hand, showing signs of hard work, lingered on the tow head of young John when she sent him off to school of a morning that held the beautiful es sence of motherliness. And any one searching for Mrs. John, who was an adept at any sort of toil, usually found her busy In the laundry over some ex tra washing, her face pink and damp, little curls of her corn-colored hair waving at her temples, a baby hanging to her skirts, happily certain of no im patient words repulsing its clinging and burdensome little hands. And the women's eyes, turned on whoever in terrupted, were as deep wells of hope, not happiness. The onty salvation of a woman mar ried to John was to hope. For the careless young fellow whom she had preferred among the many she might have chosen had proved a laggard in energy and a shirker of responsibility. Gayety and carelessness in a lover are charming, but in a husband with a family on his hands they are torture. Particularly as owners of buildings have such a businesslike way of con sidering only visible things and not taking into account the fact that a man may sometimes neglect his work and yet at heart mean well. For John was falling a victim to drink. Nobody knew the number of times his wife, with a sob in her throat and suffering in her eyes, sat up through the long night so the out side lights of the building should be ex tinguished prompty at 1 o'clock and the coal shoveled Into the big furnace when the fires died down, while John lay in stupid slumber, unheeding. At first he had the grace to be asham ed of himself when he came to, and awkwardly to tell the tired woman so. After she came to realize that promises did not mean reformation she ceased to flush with renewed confidence and at last she turned wearily away. Once she had flashed out: "It's only for the chl dren's sake I do it!" But with it all she hoped. One could not help loving the memory of what John once had been. Yet her constant vigilance and will ingness to do any of John's work her self which he overlooked were not suf ficient to keep things always running smoothly. It was only the regard the tenants had for his wife that prevented complaints to the owner when porches went unscrubbed, bells got out of order and stayed that way, or steam heat was not forthcoming. Her eagerness to find and attend to his neglected work was pathetic in its self-sacrifice. Then new tenants moved into flat 6. They were the first new people to enter the building for over a year. The man was tall, with thin lips and an air of always being right. His wife was color less. At noon he informed the ianitor that his goods would be there at 3 o'clock. And they were. But instead of being easily taken into flat 6 by the freight elevator they re mained scattered on the ground while the van men said things and the new tenant looked as though he would like to. For the freight elevator was locked and John had the key and John was away somewhere, drinking. With her head on her arms John's wife sat and shuddered and the baby for once tugged at her skirts unsmiled at. This was the worst yet and she could do nothing to help matters. It meant trouble. Finally, when she could bear it no longer, she went, white-faced and trembling, to flat 6, to whose Alpine height the van men were struggling with impossibly huge furniture. She scarcely knew what she intended to sav, but other people had been so kind and possibly she could convince these new ones that John meant well and would do better. The thought of her children drove pride to the winds and she humbled herself; she begged gaspingly that they would not com plain to the owner of the building. The thin-lipped man, his nerv.es rasped by the labor and oaths of the van men and the needlessness of it all, turned on her. "Who are you?" he snapped. "Your husband the ja.iitor? I shall certainly report him and have him discharged. He he is a drunken loafer!" "He ought to be discharged!" de clared the thin-llpped man's wife, as her pet mahogany chair was banged against the stair. "Do go away you're in the men's way; can't you see So Selma went, blindly. The thin-lipped man was true to his word and John was discharged with no recommendation. They have two tiny rooms on an alley and Selma is taking in washing. Sh' hopes some time when John gets through haunting the saloon where he rehenses his troubles he may try to got another position. Meanwhile she bends over the washboard patiently. Chicagb News.

TOO MANY COUNCILMEN Mayor Thinks City Could Do Wtth Half Present Number. Without let or hindrance from a city council is the way Mayor W. H. Davis would like to run Topeka. "I would just like to run this city by myself for about two years with out having any council or anyone else to Interfere, was the wish which Mayor W. H. Davis expressed thia morning while -in a philosophical turn of mind. "I would like to have the whole say-so and just run this town as if it was my own business. I'll bet I could do something with it. It would be run on business principles and there would be a lot of this extra expense cut off. "What s the use in having so many councilmen anyway? Why couldn't we get along just as well with one councilman from each ward instead of two?' continued the mayor in an argu mentative manner. "Why, you know that's just the thought that struck me this morning as I was coming down town," put in Councilman Joseph Gri- ley from the Second ward, the big Second. "I believe that we could get along all right. I believe that we could get more and better work done in the council if we had just six members," continued the councilman. "Back in Zanesville. O., in my old home they are doing that. They used to have two councilmen and about ten wards. Now they have cut down the number of wards and have only one council man from each ward. Councilman Griley has still the two years to serve in the council but his compatriot, C. K. Holliday, the junior councilman from the Second, will serve out his second year next spring. This one councilman per ward proposition would leave Mr. Holliday high and dry. Just how the Junior member of the council from the Second will take this late disaffection of his co-worker In the council is hard to state. It ap pears to be a plot to leave Hollidav at the pole.

He asks that the railroad board use its influence to secure a site for the proposed elevator on the Burlington right-of-way as provided for in the new sidetrack law. Mr. Hudeburgh says that the Bur lington has not refused to grant a sidetrack or a site, but that the of ficers of the company simply delay making any reply whatever. KANSAS PAYS TOO MUCH.

Housel, a man who ships many carloads of wheat from Bucklin and other western Kansas points, has written a let ter to Carr Taylor, attorney for the state board of railroad commissioners, com mending the. action of the attornev in starting a suit for a reduction in grain rates. He cites examples of how Kansas is compelled to pay high prices for haul ing its grain, compared with other states. He says: "Grain rates from central and western Kansas are enormous, compared with Mis souri and Illinois and other states. The rate from Bucklin and Dodge Citv to Kan sas City on corn, oats and barley is 15 cents per 100 pounds: from Kansas Citv to St. Louis, about the same distance, 'the rate is 8 cents. From Kansas City to Louisville the rate is 12 cents per 100, this distance being nearly double. "Everybody out here hopes and trusts you will reduce the rate. If you should reduce the grain rate to compare with the rate east, you will surely receive the bless ings of the people of Kansas, and espe cially of western Kansas."

An Issue of $25,000,000 in Bonds to Be Made. Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 9. The Unit ed States Independent Telephone com pany on Saturday completed its per manent organization at a meeting held in this city. Thomas W.

Watson, vice presi dent of the Security Trust company of Rochester; John C. Woodbury, director of the Alliance bank of Rochester. "The formation of the United States Independent Telephone company is the first step in the movement to furnish telephone companies with standard apparatus and with a guarantee that their supply cannot be cut off through the absorption of the manufacturing companies by the Bell interests; to knit together in connectings systems the in dependent telephone lines of the coun try, which, unappreciated as the fact may be in the east, today considerably outnumber the lines owned or con trolled by the Bell Telephone com pany; and to aid independent telephone cpmpanies in the installation of their plans and improvement of their ser vice. "There are today over 5.000 telephone companies in this country Independent of the Bell systems. In response to the de mand of these companies for product and appliances and for a centralized unity of action the United States Independent Tele phone company has been incorporated. "The independent telephone lines repre sented directly or indirectly by or through one or another of our dirctors. comprise systems which extend substantially from Kansas City, Missouri, to New York.

A man of large affairs in one of our prominent eastern cities by too close attention to business, too little exercise and too many club dinners, nnaiij. be gan to pay nature's tax, levied in the form of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought about a nervous irritability making it impos sible to apply himself to his daily busi ness and finally deranging the kidneys and heart. In his own words he says: "I con sulted one physician after another and each one seemed to understand my ease, but all the same they each failed to bring about the return of my for mer digestion, appetite and vigor. For two years I went from pillar to post, from one sanitarium to another. I gave up smoking. I quit coffee and even renounced my daily glass or two of beer, without any marked improve ment. "Friends had often advised me to try a well known proprietary medicine. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I had often perused the newspaper advertise ments of the remedy but never took any stock in advertised medicines nor could believe a fifty-cent patent medi cine would touch my case. "To make a long story short I finally bought a couple of packages at the nearest drug store and took two or three tablets after each meal and oc casionally a tablet between meals, when I felt any feeling of nausea or discomfort. "I was surpised at the end of the first week to note a marked improve ment in my appetite and general health and before the two packages were gone I was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure completely and they did not disappoint me. I can eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar and no one would suppose I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia. "Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to the proprietors of the remedy asking for Information as to what the tablets contained and they replied that the principal ingredients were aseptic pen- sin (government test), malt diatase and other natural digestives, which di gest food regardless of the condition of the stomach." The root of the matter is this, the digestive elements contained in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food, give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole system to receive the nourishment which can only come from food. Stimulants and nerve tonics never give real strength. they give fictitious strength, invariably followed by reac tion. Every drop of blood, every nerve and tissue is manufactured from our dally food, and if you can insure its prompt action and complete digestion by the regular use of so good and wholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, you will have no need of nerve tonics and sanitariums. Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been in the market only a few years, probably every' druggist in the United States, Canada and Great Brit ain now sells them and considers them the most popular and successful of anv preparation for stomach trouble. consideration for some months.

Trull and Frederick P. Delafleld of New York city. Richard V. Lindabury of New Jersey, and Walter S. Hubbell of Rochester, and Judge Henry S. Pi'iest of St. Louis, Mo. "In result we acquired and now own franchise rights in New York city which in the opinion of our attorneys are similar in scope and character to those of the Bell Telephone company. "These we propose to make the subject of the installation of a plant with a pres ent capacity of 225,000 phones and an ulti mate capacity of 750.000 phones for New York city and the tributary districts which environ it.

Senator Armstrong Wants Other States to Keep Out of Insurance Case. Rochester, N. Y.. Oct. 9.- Senator Armstrong, chairman of the insurance investigating committee, left for New York last night on insurance matters. Before leaving Chairman Armstrong said: "I regret very much to see other states apply drastic remedies in ad vance of action in this state. Our com mittee was appointed to investigate conditions in tho insurance business and propose remedial legislation. I sincerely hope other states will wait until we have had an opportunity to complete our work. "These insurance companies are perfectly solvent and are able to carry out every contract they have made or may make. There is no reason for re fusing to permit them to continue to do business. If Nevada proposes to do one thing, Missouri another, then some other state still another thing, there will be a chaotic condition of affairs. I believe there is due at least the cour tesy to New York state to wait until the investigation is completed and our remedial legislation is applied. "Our committee will make the most thorough investigation possible and when we are through we shall make it our business to adopt such legislation as will safeguard the policyholders and make. the insurance business safer and sounder and more attractive than it has ever been before. "Our committee was not appointed to tear down the insurance business of the country but to build it up. We are simply tearing down some of the rotten timbers to get the right founda tion on which to build." TEN BOMBS THROWN. One Cossack and One Bombthrower Killed. St. Petersburg, Oct. 9. The throw ing of bombs at the troops in Tifiis yesterday evening, which resulted in the soldiers firing on the people, ap pears to have been the outcome of a deliberately organized plot. Ten bombs were thrown simultaneously in the vi cinity of three barracks in widely sep arated quarters of the city. Shots also were nred at the soldiers as they rushed out of the barracks but the loss of life was confined to one cossack and one bombthrower. In addition twenty persons were wounded.

General Trepoff. assistant minister of the in terior, has been informed by telephone from Moscow that no serious disorders occurred there last night and that' the situation was slightly more reassuring this morning.

A serious development at Moscow today was an attempt to inierrupt railway communication. The rails were tampered with a short distance from Moscow, causing the derailment of a train, but there were no casual ties.

Both the Athletics and New York Teams Ready. A FIERCE STRUGGLE. Vast Throng in Waiting at Ticket Sale's Opening. Philadelphia Cannot Count on Waddell's Aid. Wide Diversity of Opinion as to Who Will Win. Philadelphia, Oct. 9. More favor able weather conditions for the open ing day of the world's championship baseball series between the New York National league and the Philadelphia American league clubs could not have been desired. The final details for the series were completed today when the national committee met the two umpires who are to officiate during the games and later received the cer tified checks of the contesting clubs for $10,000 as a guarantee that the series would be played. Elaborate preparations were made to handle the crowds. Although the prices of admission have been raised to 50 cents, $1 and $2 an immense throng was in waiting when the sale of tickets began. During the series Manager Mack of the Philadelphia club, will depend upon Plank, Bender and Coakley to pitch for his team, and Manager Mc Graw of New York, places his de pendence upon Matthewson, McGin ntty and Taylor. Waddell appears to be entirely out of condition and is not expected to participate in any of the games. Four out of seven games will win the series this year. Two years ago, when the last world championship series was held, nine games were scheduled, the Boston Americans win ning five out of eight. The record of that series was as follows: At Boston Pittsburg, 7; Boston, 3. Attendance, 16,242. At Boston Boston, 3; Pittsburg, 0. Attendance, 9,415. At Boston Pittsburg, 4; Boston, 2. Attendances 18,801. At Pittsburg Pittsburg, 5; Boston. 4. Attendance, 7,600. At Pittsburg Boston, 11; Pittsburg, 2. Attendance, 12,322. At Pittsburg Boston 3. Attendance, 11,556. At Pittsburg Boston, 3. Attendance, 17,038. At Boston Boston, 3 Attendance, 7,455. 6 Pittsburg, 7; Pittsburg, Pittsburg, 0. There is widest diversity of opinion concerning the outcome of the games this week. The "clubs are scheduled for a game each afternoon, alternat ing between New York and Philadel phia. A curious feature of the Boston-Pittsburg series two- years ago was that the home team always was beaten when the attendance was ex traordinarily large. Most Rigid Rules. This will be the first series held un der the auspices of the national com mission, and the rules under "which it will be played guarantee that the series will squarely and fairly decide the championship. Every precaution has been taken to see that such will be the ease. First and most important, the two leading umpires in each league (Hank O'Day and Jack Sheri day) have been selected to handle the games, and they will assume their duty, backed up by full power to con trol both the game and players. The fans of the country have unlimited faith both in the ability and fairness of both men. Second in importance is the fact that rules have been made which will guarantee the game being played under conditions reasonably sure to bring out the best work of the two clubs, and the outfielders will have a fair chance to show their abil Ity, instead of being jammed up against the infielders. All of the minor details of the games have also been worked out perfectly. Each club has been obliged to pos,t a $10,000 forfeit that it will play out the series and abide by the rules. The admission fee has been placed at a reasonable figure and the receipts will be divided upon an equitable basis, fne commission will first take ten per cent of the latter for its expenses which Include the providing: of cham pionship buttons for the players. After that the players get 60 per cent of the remainder and the clubs 40. The winning players will get 75 per cent of thg sharp which goes to them and the losers 25. Possibly It might have been better to make the division 6 0 and 40, but this is a mere minor de tail, and the baseball world has cause to congratulate itself that the commis sion has made arrangements so fairly nnH In such a thnrnimh m r. far tVir, moot important series of the baseball season. Admitting the National and American leagues to be on an equal footing, the Giants would enter the contest over whelming favorites and the outcome of the series would be practically a foregone conclusion. American league adherents are positive that the National league is not as strong as the younger organiza tion, and for this reason consider a com parison on the score of averages unfair. That they are right in this would be in dicated by the fact that the American league has won a majority of the series in which the two leagues have clashed. That the averages made by the two teams this season do neot indicate the real strength of the two clubs is a certainty, but how much difference there really is is another thing, and it will take the re sult of the coming series to decide this. One thing the American league team followers have good grounds for finding made this season. Against the two teams running second and third in the race. Pittsburg and Chicago, New York has done nothing remarkable. In each case the Giants have won but twelve out of IT IS A PARASITE That Causes Itching Scalp. Dandruff, and Finally, Falling- Hair.

Boston and St. Louis, that New York has shown to advantage, and but for practically clean sweeps against these nines the Giants would never have won the pen nant. The Athletics have made a more even record and won a more even oer cent, all around. How Is Waddell? Throwing out the averages of the teams and judging the matter through a careful study of the two clubs during the season. New York should be the favorite in the series, and th present betting O0 to 8) is not far wrong. With Waddell in the game, it would be an even proposition. but with the big "south-paw" a doubtful quantity "at best. New York has the edge. The Giants are clean hard hitters against ordinary pitchers, and know how to use every advantage once they have gained first. Their pitching department, looks as strong 9s that of the Athletics with Waddell out. and in nearly every other department the Giants appear to have a slight edge. Under the circumstances, the series should be close, but New York looks to have the best cl.ance for the odd game. Although some New Yorkers are betting 10 to 9 on the success of McGraw's men, Chicago followers rather incline to the Athletics to win, the Giants not having shown great ball playing ability on their visits here, apparently depending more on their ability to hit the ball to advance base runners than the crafty hit and run game worked so well by Mack's men. POST SEASON BALL GAME It Was About lis Had Expected. as People Suppose you have a good race horse. About a month after the racing season is over, and during which time he has been gamboling about on the pasture, without par ticular care, training or attention, you suddenly dump him back on the track in a race. It Is two to one that he gets the tlag. or turns around at tht start and runs up the stretch. Weli, that is just about what 1 ,000 Topeka fans saw at Association park on Sunday afternoon between a com bination of stars, has-beens, good-things-to-bet-on-in-the future, jokes and might-have-beens, and the Kan sas City Athletic club "Blue Dia monds" of the Kansas City City league. Of course the Cooley contingent won. Nobody expected anything else In midsummer even Sheard's hope lessly shattered White Sox would just naturally have caused the "Blue Dia monds" to drown themselves with re morse for ever having attempted a game. But on Sunday afternoon Dick Cooley. arrayed in a combination suit of green cap, white shirt, blue trousers and red stockings, aided and abetted by Jack Henry, "Nig" Per rine, Harry Eells, Billy White, et al., had all he could do to trounce the guests by a score of 7 to 3. True George Blackburn, (we used to call him Felix last summer when he was captain of the White Sox), was responsible for two of Kansas City's runs. George was anchored in left field by his own avoirdupois. Two flies in the seventh inning, when men were on bases, were knocked right to him, but he failed to carry a balancing pole with him, and as a result, stabbed at the pills something like a woman trying to kill a hornet. Harry Eells was practically the whole show. He let down the visitors with three hits. The bix ex-Missouri Valley leaguer and Jack Henry- English handle straps $5 'soon aoTJiaTswec .Kail Orders Filled IT'S CLEAN ERBELL-SOULE COMPANY SYR AC USE. NEW YOP K worked together perfectly. Some su perior infield work by White, Perrlne and Cooley saved the day. Big Pete Allen, erstwhile of Kansas uni versity fame as a stellar football player, was on the firing line for the visitors. He did nicely until the third inning when his explosion was something awful, four hits being made. It was in this round that Dick Brown made a home run. Shades of the two past summers! Won't some of those awful days at Association park rise up now and haunt you? This remarkable occurrence came in the fourth inning. Dick knocTtefTamtne Texas leaguer over first base. The right fielder lost the ball after making a futile stab at getting it on the bounce. He hunted in vain as Dick was making tracks to second, then to third. The whole infield excepting the catcher joined in the search. But not un til Brown had safely crossed the pan wag the sphere found. The crowd threw fits. Cooley was given, an ovation. He made a clean hit over second, his first time at bat. An error and a long fly gave him the first run. Phil Myer umpired very satisfactorily.

Latest Keport on Loss of Life by Typhoon in China. Victoria, B. C, Oct. 9. The steamer Tartar, from the Orient, brought news from Shanghai that the loss of life among natives of the islands at the mouth of the Yangtse river as a result of the typhoon at the beginning of Sep tember was tremendous; The North China Daily News, of Shanghai, says: "To the east of Tamagming. two is lands, one called Tawoshwa. the other Shihiousha, distant about twenty miles from Woosung, have suffered much from the typhoon, nearly all the inhab itants having been swept away. The islands have only been inhabited for a short time, comparatively speaking, as they are of recent formation, and are not much above high water mark. It is reported that nearly 10,000 people have been drowned on these two islands and the smaller islands adjacent. Tamag ming Itself has not suffered much, be ing well above the high water mark." SCUM OX WATER GOOD, THING. That Is What City Physician Hoge boom Says. Stagnant water covered with green scum is not unhealthy. It's the green slimy scum on the sur face which keeas the water healthy. If you have been accustomed to shud der with dread when you passed a stag nant pool of water covered over with green scum, fearful of its disease breeding qualities you will scarcely be lieve auch a statement. But City Physician Dr. H. B. Hoge boom says that it is so, and he oueht to be pretty well informed. i "People complain a great deal about the green scrfm upon stagnant water when there is no occasion to comnlain at all," said he. "That green scum is all right. It's a good thing that !t is there. It covers the water and protects it. It keeps the disease germs from spreading about and circulating. It acts as a cover for the water and keeps the mosquitoes from reaching the water and carrying about disease. It's all right, it's a great deal better than if if were simply stagnant water with out the green scum. We have any number of complaints from people about that scum." The Coming Country. The opportunity for the man of Ht tle means ia probably better today in the prairie states of the southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. The chance of pre-empting claims or of taking up lands under government laws is gone and will not return again. It is a different kind of opening which lies before the settler and its promise is of exceeding bright ness. Its best opportunity is shown in the great southwest where the transformation Is going on and where the conditions of soil and climate is in harmony with the warm skies and temperate winds. To the man who is not satisfied with his condition, the southwest has an inviting future. Along the lines of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway there are vast areas of unimproved lands awaiting willing hands to make them yield the bountiful crops of which the land is capable. There is a need of stores, factories and new business of every description. It is the finest kind of an opportunity m the finest section of the United States. The southwest la unexcelled for the variety and fer tility of its soils for its climate. Its people are progressive and up-to-date, Its religious and educational facilities awe as good as can be found elsewhere The M. K. T. railway has no lands for sale, but is interested in building up this productive country. It is believed that the southwest has brighter prospects and offers better opportunities than any other section. Seeing is believing.

The steamer Tartar brought news from Japan that the story was current that the disaster to the battleship Mikasa at Sasebo was occasioned as a result of a mutiny on board because of the resentmetn by the crew of the peace terms. Robert W. Collins, who represented the Associated Press with Kuroki's army throughout the campaign, was a passenger on the Tartar, bound for Washington, and said the story was given some credence in diplomatic cir cles in Japan. Mr. Collins said the re port was that the men had mutinied and attempted to seize the ship, when some officers fired the magazine. Soon after the disaster Admiral Toso went to Tokio to lay a report of the occurrence before the emperor. THIS SOUNDS I.IKE A JOKE. Cincinnati Woman Wants to Put Boy in Winfield Institution. Mrs. L C. Britton, of 2233 Burnet ave nue, Cincinnati. O., has given the state board of control something to speculate about. This lady writes to state that she has a son who desires to study in a military school, and that she has heard about the Kansas school for fee ble minded youth at Winfield, and would like to receive catalogues, terms of tuition, etc. The letter is evidently written by some person of refinement, but the board of control can't decide whether it is some sort of a joke, or whether Mrs. L. C. Britton is really trying to unload a half-witted son on the Kan sas school. They have written to Mrs. Britton that pupils for the school for feeble-minded youths are not received from outside the state. BOWMAN COMPILING LAWS.

Mr. Bowman's compilation will start in with the constitutional provisions, and take up all laws relating directly or indirectly to the charitable institu tions.

The season closed Sunday with a double-header, the locals winning both games on better work by their pitchers and cleaner fielding.

A base on balls, a steal and two singles tied up the lead St. Louis made in the third inning of the second game on three hits and Slagle's muff.

St. Louis, Oct. 9 Though overshadow ed by the battle for the big bunting in the east, the clash between the Cardinals and Browns which starts today should prove of more than ordinary interest. Of late the Cardinals have been play ing a patched-up team, owing to a big hospital list, but the chances are that the team will be able to put in its best men for the series with the Browns. Smoot and Shannon have been under the weather, but are rounding into shape, and Shay, who has been absent, owing to illness in his family, should also be in line again. With this line up the Cardinals will look mighty good. The Browns have not been having any trouble with their infielders or outfield ers, and will be able to go into the post season contest in excellent shape so far as these departments are concerned. Pitching is likely to prove the most important feature of the series, and there is much uncertainty here. Each team has one star. Taylor has not been pitching any too brilliant ball for Cardinals, but he Is a grand twirler and can be counted on to go at his best against the Browns, as his heart is set on beating McAleer's team. Howell is the Browns' star, and he is not a whit behind Taylor in any respect. Harry has been pitching consistently good ball, and he will go into the fall series in good shape. American League Figures. New York. Oct. 9. Young Hahn, the re cruit of the New York Americans, has surprised the critics by not onlj staying over the .300 mark, but getting quite an Increase in his percentage. He has a long lead, but the season's honors, of course, go to some player who has performed in over 100 games. It will probably take the official count to show whether the glory goes to Elmer Flick or Willie Keeler. The same count-up will be needed to settle whether Philadelphia, Cleveland or New York gets the team batting laurels. Harry Davis, with Flick disabled, looks to have a certainty of the individual slUKgership. while the disability of Dave Fultz will leave Hoffman with the base running medals. -Donahue leads the. pitchers in the field and Kittrldge the catchers.

Manhattan. Kan., Oct. 9. Ther Ot tawa university football eleven was de feated by the K. S. A. C. team Sat urday by the score of 29 to 0. The visiting team showed lack of training and poor team work. K. S. A. C. was a trifle slow but strong and steady. The features of the game were the consistent playing of the college backfleld and their long gains on end and tackle plays. Edelblute, the fast track man of the college, made a fifty yard dash for a touchdown. Scholz kicked four goals out of five. About ten substitutes were tried out, nearly all showing up well. With another week of practice Man hattan will have the strongest team in the history of the college. The students are supporting the game as never before and prospects for a suc cessful season are brighter than ever before. Coach Ahearn is working hard with the men and is confident of turn ing out a winning team, He is re ceiving assistance from several in structors in the college. About fifty men report for practice each day. Jl'GHAW BETTING HEAVILY. Puts Up $3,500 on World's Series but Money Goes Begging. New York.' Oct. 9. Manager Mc Graw is so confident that the Giants will defeat the Philadelphia Athletics in the world's championship series that begins today that he has given De Wolf Hopper authority to wager $3, 500 on the Giants, and it is McGraw's own money. That shows how "Mug gsy" himself feels about the series. The players have raised a pool of $1,500 to bet on themselves. There is. in fact plenty of National league money in sight, but there seems to be a difficulty in placing it.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL. SEEN AT Sy Joanna Single. 0,A MORTON enveloped herself a soft, cool wrapper. Then, lying ion a couch, she dismissed her maid, after pressing a wet handkerchief to hr fore head. She gave orders that ttnder no circumstances was sne to De j disturbed that night. She said she wasj nffering from a severe headache, and j Would ring if she needed assistance. "Will the Judge be home this even ing. Miss Leona?" asked the maid. "No, father will stay in the city to- night. He has a trying case to work i on. You may have the evening out if you like." The maid went out, thanking her: but not till the door had closed, and the girl's step sounded on the back talrs. did Leona move. She lay still and apparently languid then she prang up, crossed the room swiftly, and locked the door. She listened a moment to be sure that no one was In the hall, then she slid out of the wrapper and b-gan to dress rapidly, her mind working feverishly as her lingers hooked and buttoned with ner vous haste. She hated elopements, and had al ways sneered at them, but what could she do? Her fat.ier stubbornly op posed her marriage to John Burton for no other reason in the world than that he was not yet firmly established In the law, and was not rich. Well, what did he expect? Did he want a Judge at 25? Was he himself rich at the start? John was making a decent living for two. and statistics showed that few newly-admitted lawyers were doing that, and no one, even her fath r. denied that John had a future be fore him. Her father was unreason able, but she felt sure he would for give the elopement, for she was his only child, and strangely like her mother, with whom he had himself run away. So, In spite of her regard for public opinion, and some slight misgivings, he has listened to John's plea to mar ry first and ask permission afterward. He had it all planned. She was to meet him at the big oak at S, and be married at Ralston. She donned a shirtwaist and a short walking skirt, took from her closet aome stout boots, and looked about tier. Then suddenly she removed her cloth belt and took from a drawer a quaintly carved one of Spanish leather with a massive silver buckle, that hud been her mother's. She put it on It was the only trinket she cared to wear. Then she turned out the gas and crouched down In the big arm chair to wait till she was sure all th- servants should be -at supper in the kitchen. It was September, and rapidly grow ing dark. A storm was brewing: the hush that preceded it, and the black Clouds made it seem later than it really was. Her watch had stopped, but, af ter waiting what seemed hours, she was sure it was time. She took her hoes in her hand, and, opening and oiosing her door silently, slid Into the asll and down to the library, whence ae dropped from ths low-edged win--, then pushed It up-aam. to make sure thf.t she could enter that way again If anything should happen. She Jar -d not go by the front door for fear her dog would follow her. Leona put on her si es and started quickly across the lawn and Into thi shadows. Once In the wood she breathed more freely, feeling herself safe from detection. But he walked swiftly, half afraid of the is uness, and fearing that the storm would break before they could get tsrtea to Ralston. The sky grew darker and darker, and when she entered the thick of the grove she found her way to the big oak more by Instinct than by sight. Tn Its friendly shelter she felt safe. She was a little dls-aayed that John was not already there, but a little thought told her that the storm had made it eem late, whereas she was really aarly. As she waited she grew nervous and lightened, fearing many things. Afraid that the storm would hinder fctm, starting at the zig-zags of light ning against the black sky, she still waited. The crash of the trees swayed by the strong wind wrought on her cver-tajted nerves til! she could hardly keep from screaming. Then she heard a voice a gust of wind brought it to her. Not stopping to thlafc that John would net be talk ing to himself she started eager! to n hUa.

"Let him go." she screamed, rush ing up to them in the rain, "let him go vou're killing him!" As he paid no hed to her she looked about for a weapon, and finding none unclasped her belt.' She held it by the end and swung the heavy buckle through the air. "Let htm go!" she repeated and brought It down with all her strength upon the face of the fair man. He snarled like an animal, panting and an- "There! he's done for! Now, who are you?" He sprang up and snatched I at her, realizing that he was a mur derer, and that he must finish his work by putting this witness out of his way. Leona darted from him through the trees. He ran after her, but again and again she managed to elude him. With a curious calmness of stratagem she kept behind trees, and ran nearly In a circle, so as not to get too far from the tree. It was raining heavily now, and the flashes of lightning were less frequent. She prayed for John to come with every breath. Finally, in the dark, exhausted, des perate, she sank to the ground and crawled under some bushes. She lay as if dead. The man, still seeking her, passed so close that he almost trod on her; she heard him crash away through the bushes, farther and far ther away. Then she must have fainted. When she came to herself the wind had stopped, but it was still drizzling. She was soaked to the skin; her head ached strangely. "John," she called, "John!" Then she remembered what had happened and lay listening in an agony of fear. No sound but the rain. He must have gone. Then she remeirfbered what lay not far from her. Perhaiis he was not dead; she crawled about till she found him. Deathly afraid and sick as she was. she listened at his heart it was quite still he was cold he was dead! Then a new fear clutched her, made her brain reel. Suppose she were found there'.' Would they believe her? Could she prove that she had not killed him, had only defended hirn? She searched in vain for her belt. Who would be lieve the story of her attempted elope ment? She was in an agony about John. Had he been murdered, too? She knew that nothing less would have kept him from her. Her brain was numb. But she knew she must, some how, give the alarm, tell her fathsr in the morning. She dragged her soaked, chilled body home she never knew just how climbed in through the library win dow, and reached her room undetect ed. She locked the door, lit the gas and removed mechanically her drip ping garments. Some vague instinct of self-nrotection led her to hide them in an unused carved chest in her closet. Somehow she washed, put on the soft wrapper, unlocked the door and turned out the gas. She was dizzy. On her way to the bed she fell heavily, her head striking a big chair. When she came to herself she learned by degrees that she had brain i fever. They nad found her in the morning, unconscious, with her head bruised from a fall against a chair. She asked the nurse for her father he had had to go to the city there had beer a mysterious murder. Then little by little the memory of that awful night, nearly six weeks before, came back to her. She questioned the nurse cautiously. "Was I delirious? What did I say?" "You kept calling Mr. Burton, Miss, until your father had to send for him In spite The nurse hesitated cur iously, then stopped. "He's here now in the library, waiting to see you, but only for a moment, and you must be "Is this very quiet." She did not say that John Burton was guarded by two strong men. They waited outside Leona's door as John bent over her. "Why didn't you come to the big oak she asked. "What It was you who didn't come! I was there I waited till nearly rrjidnight. I was caught in the storm I supposed that had frightened you out of coming, but I dared not go till I was sure you wouldn't come. I j had to wait till the next day before j they would let before I could 'phone. Then I knew it was because you were 1 sick, dear. But it was an awful night's I business." "But I was there, John!" she cried, weakly, but so excitedly that the nurse stepped in to warn them to quietness. "You have been sick and dreamed it. dear. I was there; I waited for you." He spoke very gently. "John," she whispered. "I was there! No one must hear! Those men came I saw it all. At first I thought it was you, but I didn't know them did they find him the dead one?" she asked, abruptly. John Burton, very white, was look ing at Leona in a stunned, wild-eyed way. Then a great wave of relief swept over him. "Dear." he said, "you got the wrong tree in the dark the Folly oak not ours! That explains my missing you." After a little, try!ng to keep his voice from being too eager, he got her to tell him the story of the muider. She told it accurately, describing the men. He knew them, even if she did not. A great light broke upon his mind at his iden tification of the tall, fair murderer, but he said nothing to her. Then he left her and was escorted back to prison by the two officers. When they considered Leona well enough and she convalesced rapidiy they told her the story of John's ar rest as the murderer. He had been seen coming from the wood the night of the storm shortly before some one found Donaldson's body and raised the alarm. John could net or would not explain his presence, though he admitted being there. Leona read the whole thing in the papers, the details of the indictment and the coming trial, which, of course, came under the jur isdiction of her father's court. All the evidence was gone over, overwhelming, though, of course, purely circumstan tial. The defendant had borne himself well; his story what there was of it hung together, but it was proven that lie and Donaldson were not on good terms, and he would not explain nis presence in the wood in such a storm and so late at night. To all questions bearing on that he was ob stinately silent. This was terribly against him. The details of the in quest were gone over in the papers. There were evidences of a fierce strug gle In the woods.- There was a dis colored wound on the dead man's tem ple (Leona knew It was a cju'o-blow) and fingermarks at his throat. Burton was defended by Walter Longstreet, a prominent lawyer, and the state was prosecuting through Bruce Hunter, a new man at the bar. but said to have much ability, and more brilliancy than scrupulousness. He had lately come from the east somewhere. Leona, after careful thought, had a long talk with her father, who was plainly moved by Burton's refusal to connect his daughter with such an af fair, and Longstreet, who had believed in his client's complete innocence from the start. The girl did not go to city at all. The trial was postponed for three weeks, to the impatience of the people and of the prosecution. Bruce Hunter was evidently anxious for sentence to be passed, and left no stone unturned to prove John Burton the murderer. His zeal was noted and a successful future predicted for him. At last the trial came. The court room was crowded to suffocation. All the first day was filled by the prelim inary evidence and the coroner's testi mony. The second day there was the first bit of sensation when Longstreet, for the defense, brought forth a belt a woman's belt of heavy carved Span ish leather and held it up to judge and jury. It had a quaint, massive sil ver buckle. The leather was stained and dlscolered, as from wetting. It had been found near the body. This Introduced an entirely new element into the case. It brought a woman into it. Not that the murder had been committed with the belt, for the skin the man?' "lie is the man!" she cried. had not been broken at the dead man's temple, where the dark wound was. and there were bloodstains on the buckle. Whose was the blood? More over, the finger marks on the man's throat were not those of a woman. The defense pointed out that it would prove the finding of this belt to be sig nificant. The first witness of the day for the defense was called. The box was en tered by a tall, slender girl, veiled, and clad in a dark tailored suit. The court room rustled with curiosity and sus pense. The spectators scented sensa tion, and bent forward r every look and word. The witness lifted her veil, and there was an audible murmur of amazement. It was the Judge's daugh ter it was Leona. She was duly sworn. Then she told her story, a straightforward, connected recital, the truth of which not even the prosecution could doubt. She omitted nothing. She told of her Intended elopement, the full reasons for It, of her missing the accused, of her wit nessing the quarrel and ensuing fight, and of her stroke with the belt at the murderer. "Full across the left cheek it must have left a scar," she finished. Her stained, muddy shoes and skirt were produced to corroborate her statement that she was in the woods, and her maid swore that the belt was her mis tress' property, but that she seldom wore It, because It had been her moth er's. Then the attorney for the defense asked a quiet but significant question, looking full at the attorney for the prosecution, who turned white as a sheet. Others looked curiously at Bruce Hunter. "Could you Identify the murderer should you see him. Miss Morton?" "Yes, among ten thousand!" an swered the girl. She had scarcely looked about her yet. Then Long street pointed his finger at Bruce Hun ter. She looked full at him. "Is this the man?" No one thought the question meant anything mote than to see if further description of the murderer could' be elicited from her. But Leona stag gered and almost fell. "He is the man!"rtie cried, faintly, but clearly. Then she fainted. Bruce Hunter, attorney for the,pro secution, with a queer scar, attributed to a fall, on his left cheek, gave a nervous glance about him. He was surrounded. But he made a dash for the door, thus confessing his guilt and proving the innocence of John Burton, whose friends were thick about him. Leona was clinging to his arm. Suddenly a shot rang out. and Bruce Hunter fell by his own hand in his own blood. They had not thought to watch him closely enough. In the evening papers appeared a full sensational account of the whole affair, and in the society column was this short and conventional announce ment: "Judge Morton announces the en gagement of his daughter Leona fo Mr. John Hastings Burton, the wed ding to take place In October."

A long time ago when the earth was young she used to have things pretty much her own way. Every month she had a new moon to play with. When she got tired of It she threw it away and a little new one grew for her. The old moon always took care of the little one till it was big enough to whirl alone. The first few nights of Its life it was rocked carefully to sleep, and everything went happily until one fateful October. The little new October moon had just been born, and the old September moon was hovering over it. when she noticed that it was large for its age. and moreover was a very handsome little crescent. This was unusual, for up to this time all the moons had been just alike. "I think I'll keep an eye on this yuongster," said September, with just a tiny pang of jealousy at her center "She's better looking than I was at her age. and she'll be feeling it." Slowly the old September The little October moon certainly Was a fine child, and every night she grew bigger and rounder and rounder. The September moon, who had turned all dark so nobody could see her, let the Green-Cheese-Eyed Monster eat at her heart, and she fell into a very bad state Indeed. When the October moon was about two weeks old she was a raving beauty, and the people on the earth negaa to write poems about her and sing her praises. She shone so bright ly that they could see at night to gath er their harvests, and they called her their beautiful Harvest Moon. All orer the country the young men and maidens gathered together to dance and make merry by her won derful radiance. She shone happv and serene on them all, and paid no attention to the old September moon, who grew madder and madder till she was black in the face with rage. "The outrageous upstart!" growled she. "She's no better looking than one of those old pumpkin heads that folks on earth are using to make pie-! and lanterns. I'll bet she's hollow in side, too. Now, she went on. "if I should get between her and the Earth, those peo i wuuiu soon see mat i ee that I was finite as good loking as that October thing." t mm eugea around till sne got in the. right direction, and pretty soon the young folks began to exclaim: "What has happened to our beautiful moon? It is going out!" But the as tronomers said: "What an extraordi nary eclipse!" And everybody watched with interest. Slowly the old September Moon mov ed across the broad disk of the Har vest Moon, and she was "surprised to see that she was casting a shadow on the Earth, and. oh. Jwirror! the Har vest Moon wasj so much larger than she that there was a silver rim outside her "I can't hide her." muttered Septem ber Moon. "I ll try kicking up some star-dust and see if I can't stifle her." So she began shuffling around on the Milky Way. and pretty soon the star dust, was flying all over. But it made no difference to October Moon. She shone on, silvery and lovely, and the people on Earth cried: "Look! Our beautiful Moon is scat tering jewels!" And every one made a wish, and ev ery wish came true. "I'll knock her to nieces!" shrieked September Moon and borrowing a ham mer from the Thunder God she began smashing at the side of the Harvest Jloon.

Bit by bit the Harvest Moon dwin dled. She grew thinner and thinner un til she hung in the sky a mere thread. Then she was gone altogether, and the Earth people sighed for her lost beauty. But the September Moon went to her place on the dark side of the sky, and chuckled for a whole year, and at last her turn came to shine again. As she grew old and faded she saw in the west the delicate rim of the young Oc tober Mocn, like a silver bow, and she was more lovely than ever. Then September Moon's heart died within her, for she saw how fruitless had been her efforts. "I shan't take care of her, anyway." she muttered, but the Harvest Moon, in her glorious young strength needed no care, and went on making the Earth glad. All this, however, was ages ago. The Moon moved across. September Moon has become resigned to the inevitable, and has even grown to love the little Harvest baby so well, that every year she cradles it tenderly, and has even learned some of the Earth songs to sing to it.

Intricacies of Queer Knives and Forks. The Matter of Paying Dinner Calls. The invitation to dine out bears with it a direct compliment. It Is one of the most intimate methods of enter taining, especially when the dinner is at the home of the person who issues the invitation. Once a hostess extends her hospitality to you for dinner with her family, she has received you into her social set and counts you as one of her friends. The dinner table is the nlaoe where n n g, soon proves nis mness to laminar acquamtancesnip. Consider- deportment at table eive an import w ..y.-L "ujli .jo ant insight to a person's sense of courtesy and good breeding, and while the latter may be wanting for lack of opportunity, refinement is innate and does the correct thing in spirit even though it fails in letter. Courtesy first displays itself in a prompt reply to an invitation. hostess may desire to ask some one to meet you and is waiting to learn if you will be able to accept before in- viting the other party. On the other hand, if you cannot accept, she surely will want to fill your place. Never hold an answer for two or three days in order to find out whether or not you will be at liberty. If in the least uncertain, send your regrets at once. An engraved invitation requires a formal answer in similar wording. For instance, a pasteboard card with the Inscription: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gates request the pleasure of Miss Mabel Harriman's company at dinner on Thursday evening at half after seven o'clock, calls for this answer: Miss Mabel Harriman. accepts with pleasure Mr. and Mrs. Gates' invitation to dinner on Thursday evening at half after seven o'clock. The envelope should be addressed to Mrs. Charles Gates. In replying to a simple note of in vitation the answer is correspondingly informal and is written on one of the large oblong cards which are now in use for that purpose. Otherwise in dite it on the first page of a sheet of good quality note paper in white or cream tint with envelope to match. The note may read: Dear Mrs. Gates: It gives me great pleasure to accept your kind invitation to dinner on Thursday evening at half after seven o'clock. Sincerely yours, MABEL lIAKIU.-vTAW-October Twelfth. If after accepting an invitation you find it will be impossible for you to attend the dinner, send a friendly note immecliately, stating exactly why you are forced to be absent and your regret at this unexpected turn of events. A point of etiquette which the diner out of the present day has to observe carefully, is not to mention a dinner engagement when in conversation with acquaintances of your hostess. It is apt to cause 111 feeling if they have not a similar invitation, and it saves much embarrassment on your part. The nejft point of courtesy to the hos tess is the manner in wnich you dress. Guests should always look their best. It is a delicate way of expressing appre ciation. Formal dinners always demand claw hammer coat. .ith regulation white vest and tie for a man. The" sack coat is purely for bachelor functions. When the dinner invitation is informal ly written or merely verbal, full even ing dress is also considered correct form, but it is perfectly proper to appear in a business suit if you are not so for tunate as to possess the more elegant claw hammer coat. Both coat and trousers, however, must be well cleaned and pressed, and the linen immaculate. Many men who are obliged to remain at business almost till the dinner hour, have an extra set of collar and cuffs in their pocket or they buy one at a near by shop. This they exchange for the one they have been wearing during the day. before leaving the office. The costume of a' woman or girl for the dinner hour is a light-colored fluffy grown, and this year even the simplest evening frock has a slightly low neck and elbow sleeves. On formal occas ions long gloves supplement the short arm coverings and the glove hands are slipped back over the wrist while eat ing. No matter what the duties of men or women, When they have a special invi- tation to dine out they should not fail to be on time. Delayed trolley cars or a rush of business must not be fered as an excuse. If you have forgot ten or have not been informed of the dinner hour. call up by telephone or send a short note and find out. In case you know beforehand that it is quite im possible to be at the hostess' house on the appointed hour, tell her bo at once and then she will be prepared. Moreitlp of the knife and placed at one than one delicious dinner has been spoiled by a carelessly late guest. On arriving at the house or dining place remove your wraps in the room set for that purpose, and go at once to your hostess, who should be waiting for you in the parlor or library. If there are guests in the room whom you do not know, and there has been an oversight in falling to introduce you, it Is quite proper and much less strain ed to start conversation with one of them, without a formal introduction. The hostess gives the signal to re pair to the dining room, and she also assigns each guest to his or her place. At formal dinners a card at each plate and 'the man who bring? a4un6Pirdv I .v.,., j.i.

He pulls out the chair and before she has become seated, pushed it forward to a position not too close to the table for her comfort during the meal. The girl should not touch her hands to the chair and a slight nod?tf the head will show her thanks. Conversing at a dinner is an art in itself. General topics of the day are of greater interest to everyone present and much more pleasing than personal re marks, or the least suggestion of what is known as "knocking."

Avoid also any serious argument and have respect for the opinions of your host and hostess while enjoying their hospitality. At the close of a dinner, wait for the head of the table to give the signal to rise. In pushing the chair back do not touch your hands to it, but shove it slightly away and slip out at the side. A man must always allow all the ladies to pass out ahead of him. Half an hbur is quite long enough to remain after dinner is over, but if a person, is having a good time, it is per fectly pioper to prolong the stay to an hour. However, the guest who lingers the entire evening is a decided bore, un less there is some special entertain ment provided after dinner. Seek out the hostess before donning your wrans. Thank her very simply and express a word of appreciation for the enjoyable time you have had. No reference should be made to the food served at dinner at any time during the meal or afterward. The dinner call must be made within a week at the latest. If your time is very much occupied, writ a short note to your hostess, telling her in a cor dial way how much you appreciated your evening at her home. Make a call at some future time when you are not so busy. A word as to the intricacies of a formal dinner table and refined table manners.

A very com- mendable custom at nresent is to lav only two knives and two forks at the j beginning of the meal with perhaps a of-itinv fork for ovsters or clams. The largest knife and fork is invariably for roasts or the principal course. Salad is eaten with a fork only, as also is ice cream, though for the lat ter there comes a stubby spoon with pronged edge. Salt should be taken from individual salt dishes on the very side of the plate. Never sprinkle it over the food, but dip the fork lightly In the salt before taking up the food. When the napkin is taken from the plate at the beginning of ie meal, it should be unfolded once and laid across the knees, not tucked Into waistcoat or the front of the blouse. At the end of each course, place knife and fork in a parallel Bosltion on the plate. Never allow them to rest on table and plate with prongs and ends standing up in tent fashion. After the finger bowls have been passed, the napkin is laid carelessly without fold ing just beside the plate. There is no more unpardonable sin ha to a noise when chewing food. The lips must be kept closed when there is anything in the mouth. Trying to talk with the mouth full is exceedingly disagreeable to the per son looking on. Soup should be taken from the side of the spoon and there should by all means be no sipping sound while im bibing the liquid. Take pains to eat slowly when dining out. In this busy age. the majority of people have ac quired the habit of eating their food in the shortest possible time. It is well to make a point of not rushing through each course, because the din ner is given especially to afford an opportunity for sociability and recrea tion. Wichita and Return, $4.65, Santa Fe.

10 THE TOPE K A DAILY STATE JOURNAL. BABIES TRIED IT. And They Came Near Capturing the Chapman Meeting. Some of Them Cried and Others Cooed. AUDIENCE WAS LARGE. When They All Sang Infants Couldn't Be Heard. Meeting the Largest of the Present Series. I There were three extraordinary fea tures at the evangelistic meeting at the Auditorium on Sunday night: the crowd, the singing, and hush! it ousht not be said, but it is true about two dozen crying, cooing, crow tng, squirming, yelling, wiggling, coughing, squealing, kicking babies. The infants just about divided the attention of the monster crowd with pr. J. Wilbur Chapman. They let out their intermittent bomb-shells of lung expansion on no order of ceremony. They cooed whenever they felt like it. They squirmed, kicked and wiggled re gardless 0 the fact that Fred Butler was singing. Dr. Chapman preaching, or one of the assistant ministers pray ing. The only time that they were actually wiped oft the programme was When the whole congregation lifted a common voice in some well known hymn. Then they were just literally drowned out. But against any indi vidual competition from the platform, ihay made a good showing so good that a whole lot of people in certain parts of the hall, would be unable to day If their lives were at stake, to give anything like a connected idea of r. Chapman's sermon. The infants were but a little shy of being the piece de resistance of the evening:. Aug mented by about one dozen more, they .would have taken the fort. Then there was the crowd. Malor Tom Anderson often hooks his thumbs Into tae arm-holes of his vest, expands his chest and roars: "I hold the rec ord for the biggest crowd in the Aud itorium, 4,200, at the Nordica concert." No account was kept of the attendance last night, naturally, but a countinc of noses might have made the major hunt for cover. Every seat in the monster Audi torium was taken. The aisles were crowded with chairs. All along the walls, both on the main floor and in the balcony, people were standing, from four to ten deep. "There is something peculiar about this crowd," said Dr. Chapman, as he closed the service. "It is not often that we meet such a large an assemblage. People have stood quietly throughtout the whole time. It is not the power of any man that has so held you, but the power of God. He has been very near to you tonight." The congregational singing of "The Kine's Business" was almost enough to bring Into right paths the veriest sinner. True the ctowd surcharged the hall with tremendous melodious outbursts and a half doaen other hymns, but with nine did they so shake the rafters as with the stirring composition of Dr. and Mrs. E. T. Cassel. "'I am a stranger here. Within a foreign land. My home Is far away. Upon a golden strand, Ambassador to be Of realms beyond the sea. I'm here on business for my King. This is the message that I bring, A message angels fair would sing: Oh be ye reconciled. Thus salth my Lord and King, Oh, be ye reconciled to God." How that audience of 4,000 people did sing. Great voluminous, volcanic, rafter-ripping, foundation settling con cussions of melody burst in the four walls of the large building. It was not a long-faced, melancholy. gloomy drawl, such as every church goer has at some time in his life suffered from, but it had the swing, dash, en thusiasm and fire of a Sousa march, by Sousa's own band, when John Philip handles the baton. Fred Butler sang two beautiful solos, "Where Shall I Find Him" and 'The Answer." His singing brought applause, just small ripples of it, from the au dience. Dr. Chapman spoke on a theme taken from the twenty-seventh chapter of Mathew, "Then what shall I do with Jesus, which is called Christ." He spoke feelingly on the story of Christ's crucifixion on Pilate's command following the cries of the populace. From this he drew his theme in refer ence to the renewed crucifixion of the Christ by present day continual un repentant sinners. About 200 people raised their hands for prayer qfter Dr. Chapman con cluded. The Afternoon Meeting. Dr. Henry Ostrom taiked to 3.000 men in the afternoon. His subject was "The Every Day Man," and his sermon was closely listened to. "The every day man also has senti ment In bia make up. He sees the beau tiful things in life and enjoys them. To Rim there Is some sentiment In ev erything In the cloth on his table, his hat and his shoes, as wel as in t he flag, the flowers, the sun, moon and stars. And the man who turns away from the sentiment in the everyday things of life and sees only the beautiful things that are pointed out to him is little better than a mummy, and as useless. "Some men object to the church be cause of Its sentimentality and prefer their business because of its practical nature. But in this connection I might say that the banks are established on credence and if credence were intro duced into the church it would result in a wild fire revival such as has never been known. It is said that tears are art indication of a sentimental nature and if the testimony of the attendants of the hospitals for the insane is to be taken as conclusive, they are also an indication of sanity. It might be sup posed then, that the general objection to sentiment is an indication that we are progressing in the direction of the asylum. "But do not think that the everyday man is all sentiment, my friends. He is also practical and to an extent which is not equaled by the unbelievers. He respects the law of his land as well as the Ten Commandments. And his re spect for them is not caused by his fear of them, but for the protection they give him. Remember that, friends. A law is not intended to prevent you from committing a wrong but to protect you from the dangers which accrue from the misdoings of others. The law is your friend and respect it as you would any other friend." Governor Hoch presided at the meet ing. Central Congregational Church Long' before time to commence the service it became evident that the ca pacity of the house would be taxed to accommodate those who desired to hear Dr. Ostrom last night. By 7:15 the ushers were busy carrying the chairs from the large Sunday school room, and as fast as these chairs were placed people were there to occupy them and still they came, until every seat and chair in the house was taken. Then the front of the platform was used for additional seating space, some sat on the steps of the aisles in the galleries, others found room on the stairways leading to the galleries and many stood up. Dr. Ostrom put everyone in atleas ant frame of mind at the start by thanking them for their kindness in being willing to stand, assured them he would not require them to stand half as long as doubtless they had stood on other occasions to view a procession, and suggested that if It were any com pany to them he would agree to stand with them. Dr. Ostrom preached on the text: "How Shall We Escape if We Neg lect So Great Salvation?" He used as the topic of his talk the word "neg lect. The sermon was thoroughly logical from beginning to end, as in deed have been all his sermons, and was listened to with rapt attention. For the after-meeting the men were requested to go into the Sunday school room. As the chairs had previously been removed from the room every body had to stand. The room was nearly filled with men, all ages being represented. Dr. Ostrom got specially near to the hearts of his hearers in this service and many expressed the pur pose to prove the power of prayer by making personal tests. The song service was one of the fea tures of the meeting that was special ly enjoyable. The chorus seemed to be at its best and Mr. Hillis' rendition of "The Ninety and Nine" was very effective. WITNESS LOCKED UP. Mrs. Christine stetlins Says she Was Afraid to Testify. Mrs. Christine Stetling, for whom an attachment was issued by Judge Urray Saturday afternoon, was found and brought to tho station this morning. She was locked up to guarantee her appearance in court this afternoon. Mrs. Stetlinsr was wanted to testify against Frank Harrison, a man who assaulted her and blacked her eyes. The case was set for Saturday after noon, but she didn't come, and an at tachment was issued. Mrs. Stetling gives three reasons for not coming to court. She first told in officer that she was afraid Harrison would kill her if she testified acainst him. She modified this statement by saying that she was afraid Harrison would "bawl her out." When ques tioned by the court she said that she didn't want to appear against Harri son because a friend had told her that he was sorry. Judge Frmy is of the opinion that someone has intimidated the witness, and has instructed the police to pick up a man who had a conference with Harrison after his arrest- TDO MANY SHOPS That Is Why Meat Is High Says Food Inspector. The Packing Houses Are Not Charging More. INSPECTION OF CATTLE Why He Insists on Its Heing Done. Private Packers Make Little Ob jection to New Hnle. YES, IT IS ALL FIXED. Those Pratt County Side Tracks Are Surely Competed. J. S. Barnes. representative from Pratt county, has written a letter to the state board of railroad commis sioners in which he confirms the state ments of J. H. Richards, attorney for the Missouri Pacific, that the side tracks to the crain elevators at Iuka and Preston have been completed, and are now in use. Cullison is the only station in Pratt county which needs a sidetrack and which has not yet had its demands granted. The precendent set hy the Missouri Pacific in building these sidetracks, as required by the new sidetrack laws, will doubtless have some effect in stop ping the fight which the railroads have been threatening to make against the enforcement of these laws. PI LLED TRIGGER WITH HIS TOE. Captain Carlos B. Allen Commits Sui cide by Shooting. Newark, O., Oct. 9. Lying on a bed at his home, Cantain Carlos B. Allen, formerly inspector of rifle practice in the Fourth regiment and who recently accepted a position as purchasing agent for the American Hide Leather com pany of Cincinnati, committed suicide. Allen removed his left shoe and stock ing and with his toe pulled the trigger of a rifle which sent a bullet through his heart. Captain Allen was 30 years old and leaves a widow and one son. He had recently been despondent due, it is said, to the loss of his position with a Detroit leather firm. He was widely known among Ohio marksmen. Grocery stores with meat shop an nexes are blamed for the high price of meat in Topeka by W. H. Gilfillan, the city meat inspector. "The packing houses have never sold more cheaply than they are selling to the trade in Topeka today," said he. "I know it for I have been in the business for a good many years now. I was resi dent salesman here for the Nelson Mor ris Packing company and in addition I have been in the retail business myself. The meat which the butchers of Tope ka are buying from the packers today is not a whit higher than it has been for years. It's the retail meat dealers who are charging the prices which you are paying. But you musn't blame them for making a higher charge. They have been forced to it, in order to make a living for themselves. "It's this way: There are too many meat shops in Topeka for the amount of trade: tfhe few shops which formerly supplied the wants of the whole of To peka made a good living and in addition they sold on a close margin. They could afford to; they had enough to sell and enough purchasers for their stock to en able them to sell on a close margin. But since the grocery stores in town have been putting in meat market an nexes the profits have been steadily cut down. The amount of trade is now distributed over a greater number of shops and it takes either a correspond ing increase in the amount of the sales or else in the price of the meats. There has been no increase however in the former and in consequence there has come an increase in the charges. "There are but two or three markets in the city which are really making good money, the others are barely mak ing a living; they are doing that but they are not getting rich at it. I know of one man in the city who has been in the business tor a good many years. There is not a better butcher in the city. He is a close buyer. He has no bad habits, but yet he is not making any money in the business. He wants to get into something else. It's all on account of these meat shop annexes to the grocery stores. I question very strongly whether these grocery stores are making anything out of their meat departments either. 1 believe that if they would keep a careful watch on the accounts of that one department they would find that they were either not making any money at it or else were really losing. "The average butcher today buys mighty close. He is afraid all the tlirie that he is going to overstock himself: that he will have some meat left on his hands that he can't dispose of. It worries him; it's enough for any man to have that kind of worry, for it means danger of business ruin. "Do I believe that the private slaughter houses tend to brir down the prices? No. I don't. They may sell cheaply to the meat markets but that doesn t make any differenc e witn the butcher. He is going to charge his price. I have told the reason why. He is forced to it. There is no com bine of the local butchers. I am as sured of that, you can't attribute the increase in the price of meat to that source. It simply comes about, as I have remarked, by these grocery firms going into the mat business. There is scarcely a grocery store of any promi nence in the city but has its meat department attached. It's a veri- sim ple sort of a proposition. Suppose for instance you took this book here and you sold one in a week and charged a dUar for it. Then again suDpose vou sold five books. You could afford to sell the five books cheaper because you are able to make more money by selling a larger number. "These private slaughter houses are not objecting to the proposal of mak ing an inspection or tne can it ueiuie they are killed. I have had not heard one complaint yet against the express ed intention of the city board of health of drawing up an ordinance calling for inspection before killing and providing for an inspection fee. They are all glad to comply to such a resulation. They say they are making money at the business and have no objection against any inspection which we may care to install. I have even had some of them near Valencia offer to pay my carfare there and back to rr.ake the inspection of cattle at that place. "Where these private parties slaugh ter there is considerable danger unless the cattle are inspected before killing. They can slaughter (diseased animals and then dispose of the meat here in town. You inscect the meat but you can't tell a thing from the meat. It may have been diseased but the meat won't show it. No, the only safe and reliable way is to inspect before kill-ins."

That Manager Morice certainly made no mistake by securing the services of Mr. Samuel Chevriel, the funny Frenchman, was demonstrated last ev ening when the audience laughed and applauded alternately during the whole time of this gentleman's performance. Mr. Chevriel is one of the funniest "trick" violinists ever seen in Topeka. Baby Tobie Stark was enthusiastically received in her imitation of Anna Held and her nautical hornpipe. Vincent Kiralfe kept up the reputation he has long enjoyed as an expert axe swinger. The illustrated song this week Is "The Man in the Soldier Suit," prettily ren dered by Miss Frances Simpson. The popular picture, "The Chicken Thief," concludes the entertainment. The Novelty Theater played to crowd ed houses at every performance Sun day. This is a natural consequence of the excellent show at such small ad mission. The musical Leavys were given an enthusiastic reception. The Japanese is one of the best ever seen in Topeka. Sam and Ida Kelley keep the audience In a roar of laughter. This week's bill is one of the best of the season. LOST THIRTY YEARS. A $1,200 Pearl Necklace Is Finally Returned to Its Owner.
