2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1907. IN THE REJJGIQUS WORLD. What the Church Folks Are Thinking About and Doing Religious News From Everywhere. A Dreamer's Downfall. The International Sunday School Les son for April 21, Is, "Joseph Sold by His Brothers." Gen. 37:5-28. The Golden Text is, "For Where Envy ing and Strife is. There is Confusion and Every Evil Work." James 3:16. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. This- is the- dreamer's day. For a decade or- two the dreamers of dreams had a lovely time of it; materialism was master and riches reigned. But this could not last. Throughout the new' world there is today a. revival of Idealism which expresses itself by cleaner politics, saner, more honest finance-, and a general pursuit of' the nobler human goals concerning which the best of men have ever dreamed, and txjr which they have- hoped. The merely rich man, disgraced, is In the background today, while those who see visions of humanity's betterment are to the fore. The old-ee. of the stories of those who dared to dreanv and then to transform their dreams into actuality Is the- familiar one of the romance of Jacob's son. The experiences of Joseph, are one of all childhood's in effaceable memories: and they are characters-malting- material for child hood older- grown. Joseph, the one prominent Old" Testament character to whose detriment nothing is- related, is a type of "success" that fits in. with the mood of the hour. A, Story of "Snceess." If success consists in the qualities of a man's own nature, then the man who dreams must be accorded a palm. For it is no small prize to be able to eee, amid sordid and uncongenial sur roundings, the better lot that is real only to the eye of imagination. The confessed curse of the lives of many Immensely rich men is that they have lost their power to dream. The fac ulty of spiritual vision ha3 been atro phied by a grubbing among base metals and base men. The dreamer, however barren, his environment, can always enjoy himself, which is more than can. b said of many persons upon whom other enjoyments have begun to pall. This art of carrying one's own world about in one's spirit Is assuredly to- be rated as a success in Itself; "for what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own. s.ul Totuif Joseph dreamed; the lad of seventeen was the father of the man who, with imperial vision, dreamed food for a famine stricken land. Just as David, the shepherd boy, put into his manhood'3 battles and immortal songs the "long, long thoughts" which came to him in the lonely hours of vigil by the sheep, and as the Boy of Nazareth imbibed images and parables which later clothed the world's loftiest CHURCH PAPER NVESTIBATES The editor of the California.

W. S. Uimjr ot Berke ley, one of the- most thoroughly respected and widely known ministers in the Cali fornia conference. He went at the matter with energy and earnestness, following Is the full report of his investigation. It will be of profound interest to nephrities end diabetics. Vo the Eklitor of the California Christian Advocate: Dear Sir: I investigated the matter of the Fulton Compound to fin whether or not it was what its friends asserted it to be a. real cure for Bright's- Disease and Diabetes. 1 called on about a dozen per sons and came into possession of facts which are little snort of miraculous. It i well known that the medical books and living authorities unite in asserting that Bright' s Difwase is incurable, and that Iibel, when fastened on the sys tem, m also an incurable malady. My as tonishment was intense when I heard from the lips of perfectly reliable people that they had been entirely and perma nently cured by the faithful use of the remedy alluded e. accompanied by proper dieting. A druggist of San Francisco, whom I have known by reputation for fifty years, told me that several physicians had ue clared his case incurable (Bright's Dis ease), and gave him only ninety days to live, advising him to close up his affairs In view of speedy death. He is now in good health, attending daily to his busi ness, and looks as if he might live twen ty years. He was cured four years ago. A lady of San Francisco, who is related to one of the chief justices of the United States, averred in my presence that she had Diabetes in its worst form. Dropsy eet in and every part of her body became badly swollen. Her finger nails dropped oft", and one of her fingers had no nail for fifteen months. She was entirely cured eight years ago and had had no return of the disease nor its symptoms. She eats what she chooses. A prominent insurance man of strict in tegrity related to. me the case of his son, who was far gone with Bright's Disease, so that he expected to die within a few weeks. His body was Immensely bloated with dropsy, so that he could hardly see. He commenced taking the remedy. His dropsy disappeared. He was a mere skele ton, but began to regain flesh. He now weighs 190 pounds, and is completely well, attending regularly to his business. I have seen parties connected with three of the papers of San Francisco and their statements are similar. They assert that they, or their friends, have been thor oughly cured and that they have the full est faith la the remedy being entirely ef ficacious. One gentleman, keeping a highly respec table rooming house of San Francisco, detailed his case to me. He was so weak that he could not walk a block without resting. He Is now strong and hearty. His cure was effected fourteen years ago, and he has had no return of the disease or its symptoms. Two noted attorneys of the city gave their testimony to the curative powers of the remedy. One I saw who was in an extremely bad condition. He is now well and hearty. The other says that three friends of his who were hopelessly ill (two with Bright's Disease and the other with Diabetes) were completely cured and that he hss no more doubt of the cura bility of these diseases than that he is living. These men are prominent in the legal fraternity. I might give other instances, hut these will suffice. It Is not a recent discovery. The cures I have investigated run from one year to fourteen. My own deliberate opinion Is that a per fect cure for Bright's Disease and Dia betes has been at last discovered, and that while there are some failures, the cures effected are eighty-seven per cent of the persons afflicted. I believe It to be the duty of every lover of his kind to spread this good news and thus help save from death some of the thousands who yearly perish from these diseases. I have no financial interest in the matter. W. S. URMI, Berkeley, July 6, 19C6. If any one having knowledge of a case of Bright's Disease or Diabetes will send the name and address, we will see that they are sent full literature concerning this remarkable discovery. Sim Drug Co., 733 Kansas ave Topeka, T7an, teaching, so Joseph out In the fields with his father's flocks, enduring the rigors and hardships of- an oriental shepher-d's lot. wove into the fibre of his life- those purposes and ideals which a r-ere destined one day to make him Jo.eph the Great. Whatirver goesi Into boyhood comes out of nwinhood; the state which per mits its youth to be stunted by child labor, or debased by permitted vices, little and big, is- Inevitably laying up suffering .tor itself. One of the most wholesome signs of the reassertion of a moral sitnae in the country is the stress that Is being- laid upon the necessity I tor- laws restricting child lab on Son Hurt Feelings. Joseph's Jreams were audacious. They hurt his .brother's feelings, as -the world always- resents a rebuke t3 its own oommonplaoaness. Had the boy been less guileless and more tactful he would have kept his dreams to him self. His drea.713 of eleven sheaves bowing down to. his sheaf, and of sun, moon and elevm stars making obei sance to him, penetrated the pride of his brothers, ltut the dreamers, the daring, the stroiis, are more aware of their own supe rlority than anybody else; to hide this behind mock mod- -esty betrays wiiakness. The strong know their power; it. is meirs 10 use, and they should be bold to use it best. No mistaken cc nsideration for the prejudices or priile or sensitiveness of people should sta nd in the way of a man's exercise of his fullest capabili ties. "The longer I live," said an emi nent public man Mrho is making a stir in the world, to mer recently, "the more I am. convinced ttynt the one quality most important in life, next to hon esty. Is courage. Mie man. who Is for ever stopping to consider what people will say is not goin,g to do. very much in the world." Of course the person who dares to have gn?at dreams will be criticised; that has ever been the lot of great dreamers, since most people instead of doing things themselves, think they show their superiority by finding fault with those who do. This latter trait is a universal mark of the second rate; the mere fault Under is no benefit to the world and no Joy to himself. "Behold, the dreamer cometh," scoffed! Joseph's brothers. They de anmed him for his finer Qualities which they could not comprehend. The gross ft-el that they have a grievance against the spiritual. They envied Him herausa he enjoyed their father's special favor, as revealed by the long coat with sleeves, xie was not me mi nor the last to be hated because he was loved. Jacob was doubtless unwise in manifesting his partiality toward Joseph; a jU3t parent can have no favorites among his children. His special delight in this high-spirited, elean-souled dreamer is none the less understandable; and like his remote descendant, Mary, he pondered in nis heart the sayings of thiswonderful son. Another cause for jealousy had the brothers: Joseph knew himself to be superior to them, and their own hearts confirmed his conviction. In our un sophisticated days we fondly believo that all hands are outstretched to hell' a struggling one on toward excellency, but by contract with life's realities we learn that there are more hands ready to pull down than to lift up the aspir ing. There inheres in most human nature a really diabolical streak which reJoic-i in the downfall of the high or the l Ing, and which finds in a neigh bor's sucoess occasion only for jealousy and detraction, and not for rejoicing. Joseph early found, what most other successful persons have learned, that envy, back-biting, and enmity are fac tors to be reckoned with in life. A. Rising Young Man. It ia easier to put a person of parts into a hole than to keep him there. So Joseph's brothers found, after their jealous plottings had resulted in throw ing their father's pride into a cistern. Only Reuben seems to have had any compunctions concerning this course; possibly because he felt his responsibil ity as the oldest son. or more probably because he was of softer, more fearful disposition, one who could do a deed of shame but not one of blood, he tried to thwart the murderous plan of the oth ers. Note that he did not openly con trovert his brothers' evil will, or fight for his principles; he sought rather to gain his ends by guile, and so suggested that the dreamer be thrown into one of the numerous empty cisterns that abounded in the country, expecting to return secretly and release him. The deed was a foul one, more foul than its perpetrators realized. What conception had they, in their coarse stolidity, of the horror to a young man of imagination, of being imprisoned alive In that cistern, like a rat in a jug. "These tanks for storing water being so narrow at the mouth that a single stone will cover them, and widening nelow in to a large subterranean room, form prisons from which escape is impossi ble," says Dr. Robinson. "The pit was empty; therefore," remarks Marcus Dodds, "he was not drowned, but was left to die the most appalling of deaths, under the ground, sinking In mire, his flesh creeping at the touch of unseen slimy creatures, in darkness, alone. This, then, was what had come of his dreams!" The coarseness of these inhuman brothers, appears in two of their subse quent actions. While Joseph in the cis tern pleaded for release, they, unmoved by his cries, sat down to eat the very food that he had brought them. Men of any sensibilities would have lost their appetites in the presence of that foul deed, and within the sounds of a young brother's cries. Again, the brutality of that ruse of dyeing Joseph's coat in a kid's blood, to deceive their father Into believing that his darling son had been torn and killed by wild beasts argues a coarse unfeeling and unfilial streak in their dispositions which is well-nigh Incredible. That they should be liars as well as murderers is not remarkable, since one sin begets another. Many Routes to the Right Goal. Whatever befalls a true man, bent on high, aims, always turn out to his betterment. Although Joseph did not know It, that hole In the dark cistern was the shortest route to the fulfill ment of his dreams. Had events moved prosperously with him, had he remain ed t ho.ne as the petted, spoiled son of his father, he might have become another scheming Jacob, or, that pa thetic figure, an Idle, nerveless dream er, without force to transmute his dreams ir.to realities. A hard lot makes a hardy life; it needs the rod of that stern schoolmaster. Adversity, to bring most men up to amcunt to anything. Exile was the road to real liberty for Joseph. No credit was due to the brothers for all this; God is constantly using un wittingly, unwilling, wicked men to ac complish his ends. These brothers. with the family merclnariness, saw In the approach of a caravan of Midianite merchants, aa opportunity to dispose of Joseph and to turn a bit of money into their own hands. Thus it was that, even as Judas later sold his Master for 30 pieces of silver, these sons of Jaeob sold their own flesh and blood into slavery for 20 pieces of silver. They little imagined that they were helping to fulfill the very dreams they meant to punish and thwart; but then, men have never learned that it is vain to try to thwart the purposes of God for oth ers than themselves. Even Joseph him self, as he was borne, bound and hu miliated. Egyptward. could not foresee that he was en route to his throne. NEWS AND NOTES. The first New Testament in Hebrew was printed in ISSa.

An interesting decision has recently been rendered by the justice of the srupi-eme court in Nebraska, when two liquor dealers were fined $50 each for selli ng beer In bottles decorated with the national colors. In an appeal to the court the verdict was sustained on the ground that the flag should be pro tected from degradation.

The presentation of Bibles to the members of the graduating class at West Point is an annual event at that Institution. At the service which was held on March 14 of this year one hundred and eleven Bibles were dis-1 tributed. These included the Ox ford, American and Douai versions. The American Tract society is the donor. About one-third of the entire corps of studon ts systematically study the Bible in the nineteen classes which meet regularly each week taught by tha upper classmen.

BIBLE STUDY. Lesson LVT. Ezra 1-6. Haggal. The people of the Northern King dom were takn into captivity in 721 B. C. and never returned. Tha people of the Southern Kingdom were taken in 586 B. C. and returned under the leadership cf their own prince Zerub babel in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, 626. The Book of Daniel takes up the nar rative of the captivity where Chroni cles leaves It. Jeremiah, Habbakkuk, Nahum, Zephaniah, Ezekiel prophesied during this time, and their writings give us pictures of the social, religious and political condition of the Jews. In the history given In Ezra and Nehcmiah we have a graphio account of Jerusalem and the returned cap tives; the condition of the Persian government and its remote provinces. Jerusalem is in ruins, and it is the intention of Sanballat of Samaria, that it shall remain so. The Jews have been racelved as coloi lets b their captors and a number have arisen to high Clear the Skin of pimples, blotches, blackheads and liver spots. This is readily accom-' plished by regulating the bowels, toning the stomach, stimulating the liver, freeing the blood of impurities with a course of eecAamZ daces In the; empire. To go to Jer usalem, mear.9 rto-' encounter bitter enmity- and to begin life's battle over again, but when Cyrus the King gives the word cf command f God, thou sands of the Jews gladly undertake the journey back to the Promised Lana. In the two becks Ezra and Nehe- miah, which were formerly counted as one, the story is divided as follows: Ezra, l- marks the return under Zeubbabsl and covers 22 years in time. Then 67 years elapse before Ezra 7-10. During this time there were 80 years of the. reign of Darius, 20 of Xerxes, and 7 of Artaxerxes. In tha seventh year of this reign Ezra returned with his second colony. Thirteen years al ter this, Nehemlah arrived in Jerusa lem and the Book of Nelemlah. goes on with tha story. To understand the condition of af fairs in Jen salem after the return, we muse read the message of Haggai and the 1st and 2nd chapters of Zecharlan, no prophet was more immediately suc orltical junctloa in the history of the Jewish people, and it may be aaaea, nop rophet was more immediately suc cessful. The prophecies of Haggai are dated with unusual precision, and are therefore easily distinguished. 1st The Call to build. 2. The En couragement. 2. The Power of the Unclean. 4.

CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS NEW YORK JBooks and Professor Frank W. Blackmar's "Economics." which has won wide recognition as a college text book, ap pears this week In a new and revised edition. The book is especially nota able for its application of general principles to the economic activities of the present moment. Prof. Black mar is the professor of sociology at K. U. The keynote of The Friendly Stars, that fascinating nature-study of the heavens. by Martha Evans Martin, which the Harpers have Just publish ed, is the setting forth of the fact that an intelligent and delightful acquaint ance with the stars may be acquired without any technical knowledge of astronomy. And the author quotes appreciatively, before beginning the text of the book, the following lines by "Watt Whitman: "When I heard the learned astrono- mer. When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me. When I was shown the charts, and diagrams, to add, divide, and meas ure them. When I. sitting, heard the astronomer when he lectured with much ap plause In the lecture-room. How soon unaccountably I became tired and sick. Till rising and gliding out, I wandered off by myself. In the mystical, misty night air, and from time to time. Looked up in perfect silenoe at the stars." Anna Chapln Ray. the author of "Ackroyd of the Faculty," has for several years written a novel for spring publication and a story for girls in the fall. Several of her recent books have had Quebec for a back ground, but In "Ackroyd of the Fac ulty" she has portrayed one phase of life at one of the larrjer American universities. Inasmuch as Miss Ray lives not far from Tale, she will doubtless be charged with locating her scenes in New Haven. Her char acters are. of course, wholly fictitious. Miss Ray Is a Smith college graduate. One of the best characters in "Miss Murd-ock. Special," a story by F. Hop ktnson Smith in his new book. "The Veiled Lady." is Joe Quin. or Jona than's boy. who is the son of the Jonathan about whom Mr. Smith has written and lectured in many parts of the country. One or two others among the people In this new book have appeared before In Mr. Smith's story, notably Joplln, who was In "The Wood Fire in No. 3." It has even been suggested that Muggles. the hero of the last story In the book, was drawn from Mr. Smith himself, who was once the central figure, he could hardly be called the hero of a similar adventure. Eliza Calvert Hall, the author of "Aunt Jane of Kentucky." just pub lished by Little. Brown Co.. Is a well known Kentucky woman, who Li not without experience as a writer, al though this is her first book. Nancy Huston Banks, the Kentucky author who wrote "Oldfleld." but a stranger to Eliza Calvert Hall, has pronounced "Aunt Jane cf Kentucky" "a faithful portrayal of provincial life In Ken tucky, but something more than that, too. for the universal note. which marks the value of all creative writ ing, sounds on every page." The Camp Fire club which recently awarded a medal to Mr. Hornaday for his book "Camp Fires In the Canadian Rockies" has decided to make an an nual presentation of a gold medal for tn work that during the year has Autkors been most helpful in promoting out door life, camping, fishing, hunting, animal photography and the preserva tion of forests, wild life and landscape. The good example of Mr. Hornaday's book has already been shown In the formation of more than one party of grown men or boys to go o-er the same route next summer that he de scribes In his book. "Jerry Junior," scheduled by the Century company for publication April 24, is by the young author of "When Patty Went to College." The scenes are laid in a little Italian hill town; and a charming American girl and a clever American youth play the lead ing parts. The book is to have four teen full page illustrations by Orson Lowell. The popularity of the Teddy Bears of the moment recalls the fact that the origin of this whole Idea was the Johnny Bear of Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton." Mr. Seton created in story and in drawintr In 1897 that inimitable and 1 lifelike small animal whose charm has started the bear fashion that has made the bear the leading nursery animal of the day. None cf the new bears real lv compare In truth or likeness with the original Johnny Bear In "Lives of the Hunted and Wild Animals I Have Known." Next Monday is an important day from a literary standpoint, for It marks the bicentenary of the birth of the novelist. Henry Fielding. Every one knows of "Tom Jones," but few know much of the man who wrote that Im mortal book. This is the stranger, too, from the fact that Fielding's high rank has from the first been acknowledged. Sir Walter Scott did not hesitate to term him "the Father of the English Novel," and Thackeray wrote of him with sympathetic appreciation. He wrote poetry and plays and sketches of travel, but his greatest work was with his "Tom Jones," "Joseph Andrews," "Jonathan Wild." and similar work. Few English writers enjoy a distinction such as his that of unbroken popular ity for more than a century and a half and this makes the putting forth, by the Harpers, of a complete and defini tive edition of his writings a matter of timeliness and importance. It is also Interesting that, like other famous Eng lish authors. Including both Thomas Hardy and H. G. Wells of the present day. Fielding was a Justice of the peace, and served in that capacity with digni ty and honor. Norman Duncan, who has been spend ing the winter at Lawrence with his brother, a professor in K. U., has writ ten a novel. Here is the publisher's notice of the book: Somewhat like Dickens, somewhat like Stevenson,some what like Barrie is Norman Duncan's remarkable new novel. "The Cruise of the 'Shining Light.' which the Har pers have Just published. And yet Mr. Duncan's story is absolutely unlike any of the stories of these great writers. It Is so original as to be absolutely unique a story of mystery, of love, of quaint humor and vigorous action. It is not a story of the sea. It is a story full of real characters that will live the boy Dannie, about whom a veil of mystery hangs, and in whose love story the book ends an old man, Nicholas Top, wb' brings the boy up to wear Jewels and fine clothes, to be a gentleman after the rules of Lord Chesterfield, and to look down on his strange guardian a girl, Judith of Whisper Cove, whom Dannie loves from childhood, and the story of whose first kiss is as tenderly and quaintly humorous as anything in mod ern literature. A powerful story, a lov able story a story that Is full of fine, manly, religious feeling a story that KANSAS CLUB NEWS.; Official Department Kansas Federation Women's Clubs Conducted by Mrs. May Belleville Brown, President The following Is the official pro gramme for the meeting of the State Federation of Women's clubs which will be held at Kansas City, May 6: MONDAY EVENING. 8 O'CLOCK.

At the close of the Tegular meeting of the club there will be -a session of the executive board at which the presidents of all the clubs in the city are urged to be present as this is one of the import ant meetings of the. year. "Have the club women given up all hopes for their club house?" Is the ques tion constantly being asked. Their president and the chairman of the club house committee say that they mosti certainly have not. Whan asked about the matter this morning "Mrs. McCarter said: "Indeed we have not given up. We are going ahead just the same, only that we are not doing any more real eate advertising. The club house 13 one of Topeka's greatest seeds and will do more to build up the city than any other thing.

There will be mati nees on Thursday and Saturday after noons. "The County Chairman," with Theo dore Babcock in the leading role, will be at the Grand for a week. "The Lion and the Mouse," will be the attraction at the Willis Wood for the week. At Chicago. Lew Fiolds and his all star company open an engagement at the Garrick in "About Town" and a travesty on "The Music Master." Sam Bernard continues his engage ment at the Illinois In "The Rich Mr. Hoggenheimer."

"Two Little Girls," the preeminently successful musical comedy, will con tinue its run at the Studebaker for an Indefinite period. Mr3. Flske ends her presentation of "The New York Idea" at the Grand on April 27. Local Season Was Not Notable. With the exception of vaudeville, the local theatrical season has drawn to a close practically. Only one more pro duction of any particular Importance Is book for the Grand. That is the en gagement of Otis Skinner on May a After that date no more shows will be seen at the Grand until next season. And the local theatrical season Just passed has not been a notable one to any degree. A number of high class shows have been presented here but they have been few and far between and not one quarter frequent enough to satisfy the theater going public of this city. Topeka has the reputation among the theatrical profession of be ing one of the best show towns in the west, and it is a crying shame that con ditions here are such that the majority of the good shows which travel from the east to the far- west have to pass Topeka by. Perhaps before another season rolls around a new theater will be in operation here -and at which it will be possible to see at least once, or perhaps twice a week some of the lending actors and actresses on the American stage who are booked by the are contemplating making it their home." Mrs. C. O. Knowles when seen in re gard the club house said: "Indeed we have not given it up. We are looking for a new location and taking any new subscriptions which are coming in only that we are not in quite as much of a hurry as we were. The matter will be further discussed at the meeting at the Y. W. C. A. rooms next Monday." West Side Reading club meets with Mrs. Clement Smith, 726 Polk, Tues day afternoon. The Good Government club met this afternoon with Mrs. Robert Mer rick. Mrs. Burlingame, the new presi dent, was in the chair. The Parliamentary Law club met Tuesday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, when they discussed "Prop erty Rights of Women in Kansas and Colorado." At the next meeting "Property Rights of Women in Massa chusetts and New York" will be the totic. The Crescendo club, a musical club composed of young girls from the high school, held th sir monthly meet ing last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Miss Winifred Burch. The principal feature of the afternoon was the playing and singing of little Dorothy Barber, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Bar ber. The little girl is a pupil of Prof. A. Klingenberg and so great is her musical ability for her years that she is considered by musicians to be al most a prodigy. The Forestry club at its regular meeting last Thursday appointed the following members to serve on the "Park" committee: Mrs. W. A. Johnston, chairman; Mrs. N. H. Loomis, Mrs. Robert I. Lee, Mrs. W. R. Barrett and Mrs. James Ramsey. The next meeting of the club will be with Mrs. W. A. Johnston on the last Thursday of this month. The State Federation board Is send ing out invitations for the meeting to be held at Kansas City on May 6, to some of the officers of the federation who are to distribute the invitations among their friends who are not club women. Mrs. Eugene Ware will speak be fore the State Federation, which meets at Kansas City May 6, on the subject of "Forestry."

The Ramblers' club will meet Mon day afternoon with Mrs. Ward Pae, 82 8 Monroe. Shuberts and w-ho have got as far west as Kansas City. Mo., this year. If the Shubert productions do reach this city it will mean the coming of other good shows not controlled by the Shuberts. for the theatrical tru3t which controls the bookings In this city will have to send along a good show as often as the Shubert's do, or it will be hard work, because of good competition, for the management of the existing theater here to pay taxes on its property. With out competition ot some sort, however, the people of this city will have to put up with what they get in the way of theatricals as the same conditions which have prevailed in the past two years are bound to continue. PEOPLE AND PLAYS. Among the distinguished arrivals in New York recently was William Archer, one of London's foremost dramatic critics, and at present attached to The London Tribune. Mr. Archer is there on a special mission. He is receiving con siderable social attention and is making it a point of visiting all the local the aters. Nance O'Neill will shortly begin a starring tour under Charles Dilling ham's management in Edwin Milton Royle's "Cleo." This is the play in which Mrs. Carter-Payno was to have SaKar Cures Blood Poison The first stages or symptoms of blood poison are little sores or ulcers which at first are not thought anything serious, but in time it Is more firm ly rooted in the system, copper colored spots make their appearance, glands on the neck swell and ulcerating sores form on the hands, limbs and face. If the poison is allowed to remain it attacks the bones, causing necroses or decay and makes a physical wreck of the entire system. There Is but one permanent cure for this and all dis eases of the blood, Salvar, the greatest of all blood purifiers. It cures when all else falls, acting on the entire system, driving every particle of poison therefrom, of every destructive or der permanently and positively, no matter in what form or how obtained. Rheumatism in any form; catarrh, all diseases of the kidneys, bladder and consumption yield to it. Salvar is not an experiment, but has shown its true worth which can be proven by any number of cases here in the city, say nothing of the cures made In the entire state. Any and all of them will be only too glad to inform those that are afflicted of what Salvar has done for them. Salvar is a home remedy treat ment, containing no minerals of any kind or character whatever. In its formation; purely vegetable which has been proven by best chemists in the country.

This box was lost by the elder Sothern while on a hunting trip in Ireland. The reason for the elder Sothern attaching so much value to this match box was because it had been presented to him by King Edward, then the Prince of Wales. Amelia Stone has been engaged by the Shuberts for an important roli" in support of Eddie Foy in "The Orchid." which was presented for the first lime at the Lyric theater. Philadelphia, on March IS.

Curi ously, Miss Stone, in all her late ap pearances in New York, has imperson ated a princess. This applies to "The Royal Chef." "A Chinese Honeymoon" and "The Runaways." In short.

Miss Olga Nethersole has produced In Chicago for the first time in America "The Awakening," an English transla tion of Faul Hervieu's "Le Reveill."

It was produced with elaborate scenic detail, several of the pictures shown on stage being of great beauty. Miss Nethersole assumed the role of Theresa De Megee and made a decided success.

The news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires ror mis soie pur pose. We had some mighty fine weather last fallt anyway. Did you observe Arbor Day appro priately yesterday? Peace Is really a pretty good sub ject to etart a fight over. Perhaps even Mr. Delmas now be lieves Harry Thaw Is Insane. A- contemporary suggests that the next peace conference be held in Japan. SVhat's the matter with Ohio? Virtue gets its reward. Since Wlchl ta has gone dryjt is to have the next state Sunday school convention. Those state capltol grafters at Har rlsburg did not get it all. Pennsyl vania still has eleven million dollars In Its treasury. Tift will not talk about his boom. He probably thinks enough other peo ple are talking about it which is bet ter than for him to do it. A woman has been elected justice of the peace in Evanston, 111. Now the public will probably have a nice, lady like view of the law handed out to It. It is to be hoped the weather bureau really hasn't forgotten how to make that fine brand of Kansas spring weather for which it la so Justly fam- Coxey contemplates leading another army to Washington, If he does he will' probably have to recruit it in "Wall street.' The rest of the country is too busy and too prosperous. Prosecutor' Heney 'is now investigat ing the Blot machine graft in San Francisco. The San Francisco grafters evidently did not overlook' anything from $5,000 down to a nickel. There Is not so much talk of over production by the peach and apple, orchards as there was a few weeks ago. The danger that the trees will be Injured by bearing too heavily ap pears to have been avoided. "William Allen "White la suggested for governor.

Professor Hunter, of the University of Kansas, was johnny-on-the-spot when the green bug got dangerous. No sooner had Mr. Bug begun to cross the Kansas line than Professor Hunter came forward with a parasite that Is guaranteed to kill the invader, and the parasite was promptly "sicked" on to G. Bug. Bug will probably not find the Kansas climate as healthy as he may have been led to believe It is by reading the Kansas papers. Says the Lawrence Journal: "The man who declares that the dandelion is a useful plant that ought to be cultivated must belong to the same family as the man who first brought English sparrows to this country." The dandelion may not be useful, but it la certain that the English sparrow Is. The settlers who first came to this region say that insects were so numer ate and bo pestiferous as to cause f great Inconvenience. Then the Eng lish sparrow was introduced to them and the insect family has been kept busy mourning its losses ever since. The little sparrow may not be very lovable, but the" number of mos quitoes, gnats, and other" insects for which he furnishes a graveyard makes him a useful member of society. Of course it is possible to overdo a good thing, both in dandelions and spar rows." A SATURDAY SERMON". SOME PRACTICAL FIGURES. In the house of the righteous Is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wick- ed 4s trouble Proverbs 15:6. The assertion Is frequently made by "liberals" that a town In which the public can not buy liquor Is greatly handicapped; that people will go else where to trade and that the town will not progress. It is argued that the only way to have a live, growing town Is to make it "wide-open," license sa loons, and keep something doing. As bearing on this argument, the "Wichita Beacon publishes the follow ing paragraph: "A few years ago people quarrelled as to whether Manhattan or Junction City was to be the best town in that portion of Kansas. Manhattan was a quiet little village of 3,000 people; Junction City was a rip-snorting town of 4,000 population. Manhattan re fused to allow liauor to be sold. Junc tion City was 'wide open." People said, 'the farmers will trade in- Junction City, where they can .get a drink.' Manhattan said, 'We'll give them bar gains in business, but no drink.' Junc tion City laughed at Manhattan and said, 'Come on in to Junction City and have a high old time.' So thev went along that way. Today Manhattan is a town of nearly 6.000 people, with ciean windows, nice aidewaks and a good breath. Junction City is smaller, has poor sidewaks, fly specks on the windows and smells bad. Men still eo to Manhattan to buy goods and get uargams; tney go to Junction City to buy goods, and get drunk." The comparison made by the Bea con is on startling that the writer here of looked up the exact figures in or der to verify them. Truth compels the statement that Beacon statistics with reference to the present popu lation of Manhattan are somewhat ex cessive, but the figures bear out the Beacon's point in a striking manner. According to the census of 1S95. June- City had a population of 4.769; in 1906 it had 5,262. Manhattan, in 1895, had only 2.980; in 1906 it had 4,256, and this spring will probably show a consider able further gain. In those eleven years Junction City increased only 493, wntle in the same time Manhattan gained 1,276. Manhattan increased 43 per cent, and Junction City only 10 per cent. Junction City, however. Is by hq means as poor a town as the Beacon's paragraph would indicate. It has live.. progressive business men who have built up their city. It Has grown in spite of its saloons instead of because of them. Manhattan, however, has gone ahead much faster. People have been attracted there by its cleanliness and freedom from vice. But the time has come when Junc tion City must close Its saloons, and In a. few years its people will be glad of it.. Heretofore they, have gone on the theory that saloons were needed to attract the soldiers from Fort Ri ley, and that it is necessary to get the soldiers drunk in order to make them spend their money. The trouble has been that in such cases too much of the soldiers' money goes into the sa loons. The business men will discover that with the saloons abolished the soldiers will have more money to spend In legitimate lines of trade. The same Is true of working men and farmers who ge there. Another city that has not been help ed by open saloons Is Leavenworth. In 1895 it had a population of 20,822. Ten years later it had 20,934. It not only did not gain from the outside but it lost much of the natural gain from births. To be sure, some cities have grown and have had saloons at the same time. Wichita has, for instance. It grew from 20,841 In 1895 to 31.110 in 1905. But the opening of Oklahoma and the natural prosperity of that sec tion were responsible for its Increase in size. It grew up spite of its saloons rather than because of them. ITTZGERALD'S DANGER. If Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald keeps on talking saucy, to the railroads and telling them what's what, as he has been doing in the railroad tax hearings this week, he Is liable to find boom for governor tagging him around seme of these days, independ ent of -the Square Deal, the machine, or any other aggregation. Mr. Fitzgerald made a first-class impression by the way he presided over the senate last winter. His ut terances and interviews since have not lessened that impression In the minds of the people; and now, as chairman of the board of railway as sessors, he is "talking back" to the railroad's representatives in a way that the people like to hear. Incidentally, the board of railway assessors is proceeding along a new line this year, to the great surprise of the gentlemen who have been looking after the assessments of the railways heretofore. It is known that State Auditor Nation had something of this kind In mind several months ago, al though little was said about it. The board is trying to find out what the railroads are really worth instead of guessing at it and they will be as sessed accordingly. HEARST. Speaking with reference to Mr. Bryan's recent address before the Brooklyn Democratic club. In which the Nebraska leader compared Alex ander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, the New York World takes occasion to draw a striking parallel between Aaron Burr and William Randolph Hearst. "Hamilton," saj-3 the World, "was the dominating figure in the Federal ist party. Just as Mr. Roosevelt today is the dominating figure in the Repub lican party. Jefferson was the leader of the anti-Federalists. Just as Mr. Bryan la the Democratic leader. Back of Hamilton and Jefferson crouched Aaron Burr, precisely as William Randolph Hearst now crouches back of Roosevelt and. Bryan. "Burr was a shrewd, resourceful, un scrupulous politician of excellent fam ily. He' had no principles that he could'nbt readily subordinate to his in satiable personal ambition. While he professed to be an anti-Federalist, he hated Jefferson hardly less cordially than he hated Hamilton. His attitude toward them was Very." like Mr. Hearst's attitude toward Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan. Burr intrigued with both parties In New York, just as Mr. Hearst has done. He too formed an alliance with Tammany, and he trad ed with a faction of the Federalists who were the Qdell-Harriman crew of their day. .Party lines were not so closely drawn then as now, so It was unnecessary for Burr to organize a third party and Incorporate It. But he played his game shrewdly and to a certain point successfully. He was 'a friend of the masses. and after the failure of the electoral collere to elect, Jefferson and .Hamilton had to sink their personal differences for a time In order to spare the nation the scan dal of seeing a deftly manipulated house of representatives choose Aaron Burr president of the United States." Still, in this connection it, would be only fair to remember that Mr. Hearst is the Journalistic rival of the World. Naturally a political ring always ad vises you to vote In the circle.

The sun.; was setting, as for weeks past, in a hot. merciless glare, which made its disappearance a distinct re lief. It cast no long' afternoon shad ows, for between Marcia's' eyes and the far horizon stretched only a roll ing sea of prairie grass, browned al most to a stubble. "See anythin' of pap?" asked a querulous voice from the squeaky wooden rocker near the back door. "Wtt'o i 1 1 .1 1 istlessiy. Then in a brisker, brighter tone: How easily Bonnie Belle makes it!

"Better, and suDDer's on the tahlp" I'll unsaddle Belle. Any mail, father?" "Wall, now, they wan't any letters, darter, but here's the paper. I swan but it's lively times down to Prairie City.

"What ye mutterin' over. Marshv" called her father's big voice from the supper tarjie. "Come in an' read the news to your ma, the paper's full of it." -or wnat?" said Marcia obliviously. vvny, wasn't I tellin' ye!

Marcia lay awake far Into the night. tninKing, planning, revolving. It was nothing -unusual. for Marcia to ride over to Prairia City for a visit. She had schoolmates there who were always glad to see her, and possibly otner interests arew. ner in that direc tion. It was the town Charlie Keith called home, and in which he spent his brief vacations. Here Marcia had met him .often In the past two years of her happy school life, and there she had, seemingly. Irrevocably offended him by one of those rudder, girlish freaks, so inexplicable to a lover. She had heither seen nor heard from him since. Her father noted the cessation of certain frequent letters, and the sadness on his darlins-'s beau tiful face, and Ioned to comfort her. When she asked the next morning if Fhe might spend the rest of the week with Effle Darrow, in Prairie City, he Kindly rave consent. e The next two days would have test ed the resolution of most men. and did sap the strength of many, as they stood in line under the blazing Ne braska sun, blistered with heat, parch ed with thirst, gritty and blind with the powdered dust, waiting their slow turn at tha' registration booth. But Marcia wa3 a determined girl, and was accustomed V tov hardships. She had galloped miles over the sunswept prai ries; she had slept more tnan once witn no- roo above her head, and no couch beneath, and she knew what endur ance meant. She had started on this mad jBcheme in a mood of strained excitement. Her lover's continued silence, her hateful, monotonously barren existence had wrought her feel ings to a ritch where almost any act was possible; nor did the strain loosen until her registration was accomplish ed at sunset of the second day. It was five minutes to twelve on that brassy, sandswept Saturday, and Mar cia Brooks, mounted on her brave chestnut, stood with many thousand others in that mighty line of battle, ready for-the charge. Hark a gun! the na at the mili tary barracks yonder drop to' the ground. It is the signal. Instantly there is an answering vol ley from- hundreds of revolvers -discharged Into the air. Then, amid tne roar, the smoke, and the yells from thousands of throats, the line pf battle starts forward at a run. Marcia Is nearly paralyzed for. an Instant, but Bonnie Belle is not. fane is off like a bolt from a catapult, pounding through the dust, straining at her bridle, leaving 'he lurching prairie schooners and ungainly farm vehicles rapidly In the rear. They soon outstrip the honest house holders and are among the reckless cowboys in the lead. These men greet her presence with rough cries of gal lantry which make her heartbeat thick and fast. If she had only stayed in the safer crowd behind, but Bonnie Belle is quite beyond her control now. The mare has settled to her galti ana has no thought of anything but first place in thus heat. Marcia turns her head uneasily for a glance over her shoulder, catches one swift, hazy glimpse of a face that Is familiar in spite of Its dusty dis guise, and hears the sudden exclama tion "Marcia!" The next instant the other riders horse is at her side, hia hand is touch ing hers, and for one blissful minute she can not see for tears, as she njur mers "Oh, Charlie, I am so glad! It is the only explanation necessary. The glance, the tone of perfect trust, are enough for the most exacting heart and from that moment the hard ride is for both but a swift rush for Eden. Side by side, the two riders leave the seventeen miles behind them, and their good steeds, reeking with foam, but still sound in wind, bring them to the government quarters which mark tne center of Kiowa, just exactly sixty minutes after the signal gun. Charlie quickly stakes out two de sirable claims, which will soon be worth their thousands. Marcia cares for the horses as best she can, when Charlie stations her beside him to hold their own against the rush. It is a wild, tumultuous moment, but they are close together, and his hand clasps hers, while he bends closer. "Marcia, dearest, you can give your, claim to the old folks. Mine is for you. There'll be a minister along pretty soon, and my tent is. coming by the first pack train. Why should we wait? Let us be married, and begin right here together. Will you, darling?" And clear amid the yells, the shoot ing, the mad rush of incoming settlers, half crazed with thirst, fatigue and ex citement, he plainly hears her honest "Yes." (Copyrighted 1907, by C H. Sutcllffe.)

The programme was arranged by this srtciety and was most hear'ily ap preciated fcy. the audience. Mrs..JL.P.

Graft read a most interest ing letter from Howard Frank. Alaska, and there were more from other work ers abroad. Dr. True's talk about her work at Dwight and that of Miss Mont gomery at Elm Spring, made So ardu ous for the lack of various simple ap pliances (such as clothes pins for in stance) and needful articles as towels, moved the women to decide right there to have some W. M. society showers and fill a barrel or more for these de serving workers. Donations for this work will be left at the First church where the packing will take place. Any thing used in the kitchen, dining room or elsewhere about the house will be acceptable.

Rumors of plots to burn down the fct ildings of the inter national exhibition opening in Dublin May 4, which, however, are said to have been discovered in time to frustrate them are published In the afternoon papers' here today. The plots are at tributed to the advanced political sec tions in Ireland, which, admittedly are violently opposed to the international exhibition, claiming that it would be unfair to Ireland to display the prod ucts of the highly developed Industries of ether rations in competition with native pr ducts which are not so high ly perfected. School Examinations April 27. John R. Carter, county superin tendent of schools, announced today that the date of the final examina tions for county school-district diplo mas has been fixed for April 27. These examinations will be held in various parts of the county and it is expected that about two hundred and fifty pupils in the county schools will take them. These county school dis trict diplomas entitle their holders to admission to high, schools in the state.

Would Be United by the Pro- posed Combination. And Politicians Say It Could Not Be Stronger. Outline of Bryan's Platform for 1908 Campaign. Chicago, April 20. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Taft and Hughes. That is the ticket which seems to appeal to the ma jority of the administration followers and they point out the fact that the preliminary campaign practically is concentrated in the two states of Ohio and; New York. In each state the president has been attacked personal ly and in each state he has the right to ask for personal vindication through the Indorsement of a candi x date in sympathy with his point of Jew on governmental matters. The idea of coupling the secretary of war with the governor of New York, has proved a popular one. Ex perienced politicians say it would be about as strong a combination as could be imagined. Each of the two men would bring force to the ticket and do It, too. in a state more or less uncertain, according to ordinary po litical standards. It should not be understood, of course, that President Roosevelt is be hind this ticket, but the names of Taft and Hughes are grouped togeth er so often by people who are In the confidence of the president ag to give the impression that this ticket would meet with his approval to an extra ordinary degree. DEMOCRATIC PLANS. Government Ownership to Have Xo Place in the Platform. Chicago, April 20. A dispatch to the Record Herald from Omaha says: The Democratic national platform of 190S. if William J. Bryan controls the convention, will not demand ab solute government ownership of the railroads. This has been authorita tively announced by James C. Dahl man, national committeeman from Ne braska. The statement is in the nature of an official announcement for the reason that Mr. Dahlman is in close touch with Mr. Bryan and recently has been in conference with him over the plans and policies of the forthcoming campaign. From the same source it Is stated that tariff reform will again become a dominant feature of the plat form. The platform, according to Mr. Dahlman. already has been mapped out and will contain some radical changes from the document adopted in 1904. While Mr. Dahlman was not auie 10 go into minute details ne says the prominent plank In Mr. Bryan's aeciaraiion or principles will concern s. usts, the tariff, state regulation and money, the railroad ownership plank of course, being conspicious by its ab sence. Constitutional guarantees will have a strong indorsement, and the ac ceptance of campaign contributions from trusts and large corporations will receive severe condemnation. The platform will define the necessity for and proper use of money contributed for running campaigns. Usurpation of power by the presi dent also will be made a strong point and the convention will be asked to declare that President Roosevelt, in this respect as well as in the matter of accepting or approving campaign contributions has overstepped true Democratic principles. General economies will receive the usual attention and a halt will be de manded in naval extensions. It will be decided that the vast sums being spent on armament may be much bet ter employed in irrigating the plains of the west. Development of river navi gation is to be endorsed. Election of senators by direct vote cf the people, reformation of civil service rules and a strong foreign pol icy will be strongly proclaimed and pledged. No overtures of any sort are to be made to the Populists, beyond a general invitation directed to all classes to join forces with the Demo cratic party In an effort to enforce the Firlnciples proclaimed and demanded n the Democratic faith. BURNED 700 HOUSES. The Fire in Iloilo Checked After Dam. age or S 100,000. Manila, April 20. The latest re ports from Iloilo say that the fire has v een checked. The native Quarter of ti.-e city was destroyed. The property loss is estimated at $100,000 gold The business section of the city was un touched, it being saved by the military and constabulary. Seven hundred houses were destroyed and 8,000 to 10.000 natives made homeless. Ade quate relief measures have been taken. The homeless have been housed in schools and other buildings. The province and the city will provide food for the refugees and no unusual suffer ing is feared. There was no loss of life by the earthquakes. The shocks, while most severe experienced in fifteen years, were not violent enough to cause much destruction. Dispatches from points in several provinces report severe shocks but little damage. The total damage caused 1 by the sarthquake in the entire archipelago will not exceed S10.000. Death of Madam Te Broquet. Norton, Kan.. April 20. Madam Ve Broquet died very suddenly at her home in. this city Friday. Mrs. Bro quet was a French lady and a noted personage in this vicinity. She settled here 25 years ago with her son Ernest, who died some years ago. She was wealthy, owning much property here, and was a woman of rare ability in business affairs. SFES FOR SOX'S INJURY. A. B. Beers Asks For $275 From the Santa Fe Railroad. James R.-Beers, through his'father B. Beers, has filed a suit in the court of Topeka against the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company for damages to the extent of .$276. Beers is 15 years old and has been em ployed in the Santa Fe shops as a ma chinists helper. W hile working there on a drill press on February 20. 1907, his left hand and arm was caught In a belt on the machine and crushed and lacerated in some cog wheels. He claims that the injury was due to de fective machinery and thereby charge able to the negligence of the com pany. MANILA ON FIRE. Fire Destroys 1,100 House in the Philippines Capital. One Hundred Acres Swept Clean In Two Hours. Manila, April 20. Fire destroyed 1,100 houses and parts of the districts of Singalong, Paco and Bambang in Ma nila this afternoon. The new American settlements at Ermlta and Malate es caped through the hard work of the firemen assisted by soldiers and citi zens, l tie names, fanned by a heavy gale, swept an area or 100 acres clean, within two hours and destroyed the homes of 100 residents and 10,000 na tives. The native refugees are now shelter ed in the schools and other public buildings while many are camping in open spaces. The damage is -conservatively estimated at $200,000 in gold. No casualties are reported. The officials of the health depart ment do not agree with the estimate of the damage given above, which was made by the police and firemen. They assert that 269 houses were destroyed and 1,500 natives rendered homeless. Their estimate of the financial loss is the same as that of the other munici pal department. It is thought that the figures given by the health officials are nearer correct. HEARS BAD REPORTS. Italy Checks Movement of Workmen to Panama. Rome, April 20. Leroy Park, agent of the Panama canal commission, who was sent here to investigate means of obtaining men for work on the isthmus learns that the Italian government had received very grave reports regarding the hygienic, humanitarian and moral condition of the Italians already there; that the -government "had forbidden further emigration of Italians to Panama and that a government offi cial had been sent to the isthmus to investigate the conditions of Italians there. Mr. Park did everything possible to place the situation before the govern ment and to convince the officials here that the men at work on the canal earned two dollars a day, are wen fed, well housed and humanely treated, adding that he believed that 5,000 emi grants might leave Italy for Panama immediately and that thousands of others could soon follow.

HOW THEY DODGE. llerelatious Secured by ..Kailroad Assessors.' the DIscoTer How Taxation on Holl aing Stock Is Avoided. CARTLIDGE KXPLAINS. Gives Details of the Counting" System. Car Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald Drags Out More Facts. Evidence cf the most important char acter .has been secured by the state board of railroad assessors to show that for year3, the railroads of the state have beea working a system" by which they have dodged taxation on thousands of dollars worth of rolling stock. This infrmation was secured from E. T. Cartlidge, tax commissioner of the Santa Fe railway, by means of the inquisition proceedings which are in progress. Mr. Cartlidge was asKea now me railroad enumerates its cars in oraer to ascertain the numbers reporteu to the ttate for asrtrsment. We have what is called 'car count ing day,' replied Mr. Cartlidge. on that day, all the cars in the slate are counted by our station agents. Each ant o.ints all the Santa Fe cars at his station, and reports the number to headquarter s." And what about the Santa re cars o-iiirh o-o on otnpr lines in Kansas: rski?d one of the members or tne Doaru. They don t get counted, repnea mi. Cartlicls?. By this syst?m, vast numners ui vara,- especially freight, cars, are never iitwa for taxation. It is Known mai. a lar system for enumerating cars pre vails on r.early all the railroads in Kansas, end no road counts us cam which happen to be on the Kansas i. e cmno nihor comnany on ar VTaoh railroad, there for heln to cover up thousands of dollars worth of property for other rail roads. Roads Must File New Statements. In view of this state of affairs, the state board of railroad assessors this morning ordered each of the raijroad companies to prepare new schedules, showing the total amount of rolling stock owned by the entire system, and the amount which should be assigned Tnnoc n o mileage basis. This report must be submitted to the board bv next Wednesday, and on Friday. April 26, the board will give the tax i....tT,o,-a rf the various roads a "hearing "as to wbether-trrtsr of J enumeration shau Te aaopieu. At the session of the railroad asses sors this morning, the Santa Fe, Rpck Island, Kansas City Southern and Union Pacific were represented by their tax commissioner!-. The Kansas City Southern already makes its returns in the manner pro vided bv the new order of the board. The Rock Island makes its enumera tion by a complicated system of mile age computation, which the board of railroad assessors says is not any bet ter than the Santa Fe plan of "car counting day." The board has not yet decided whether It will adopt the proposed new ytem of car enumeration, but it prob ably will. The Santa Fe is very much opposed to it. because it will, result in greatly increasing the rolling stock now on the Santa Fe assessment rolls in this state. Wide Opening for Frand. It seems that in the past the assess ment, of rolling stock has been the open-door for gigantic frauds in rail road assessment. Apparently, railroad companies have dodged millions of dollars of lawful assessment by jug gling with their rolling stock reports. One of the most palpable examples cf the rolling stock manipulation was that discovered by Lieutenant Gov ernor Fitzgerald in the case of the Missouri Pacific and Mr. Fitzgerald succeeding in pinning It to that com- ,,-v,f.n its tax commissioner, S. L. H,hivman. was on the witness stand. -Mr- Vitirerald had discovered that there' is a ten mile piece of road be tween Axtell ana eneca, hi iguana county owned by the St. Joseph Grand Island over which the Missouri Pacific runs its trains on a wheelage basis. In order to account for the wheelage. it is necessary that accurate records be made or the rolling stock on that little strip of line. These ac curate records were incorporated in v, xrijsonri Pacific report, and showed that the average value of the rolling stock used on that 10 mile trip of road was $1,200 per mile. But the report then went on to show that when the Missouri Pacific rolling to'ck left this piece of leased line, and continued on its journey to Kansas City over the Missouri Pacific's own lines, the value of the rolling stock immediately dropped to $875 per m "How do vou explain that?" asked Mr. Fitzgerald of Mr. Highleyman. "Well. I guess there is a discrep ancy there somewhere," replied Mr. Highleyman. "The value of the rolling stock on the leased line is made on a wheelage basis, isn't it?" "Yes." "And it must be right?" "I should think so." "And everything that passed over that leased line had to go over the Missouri Pacific tracks both before and after?" "Yes." The railroad assessors are therefore coming to the conclusion that many railroad companies have been turn ing in their rolling stock on an en tirelv erroneous basis. "We are just learning how this thing is done," said one of the mem bers of the board. "I wish we had another year. We would be able to get mighty close to ihe real value of the railroads on another assessment. We have just found out how to do it." Ward Had Forgotten Much. George C. Ward, tax commissioner of the Kansas City Southern, was forced to admit before the state board of railrad commissioners Friday after nocn that he had "forgotten" to list about $250,000 worth of railroad prop erty in the city of Pittsburg. This unwilling confession was dragged from Mr. Ward's lips under the "inquisition" system of the board. It wasn't Mr. Ward's intention to be come tangled up, but the board took an unfair advantage of him. Instead of listening to the speech which he naa prepared, ne-was -obliged to hold up his hand and swear to-answer ques tions put to him truthfully. "But can't I make a Jittle prelimi nary statement?", said Mr Ward, hold ing up a bundle of papers and docu ments. "The board doesn't care for state ments. What it wants is facts," re piled Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald. "You will be sworn and take the wit ness stand." The members of the -toard recently made a visit to Pittsburg, .and an in spection of the shops ofthe company at that place showed that the follow ing buildings and structures were not on the assessment roll returned by the company to the state auditor: Structural steel machine shop. Transfer table. Cement reservoir. Water plant. t Power house. Planing mill. Machinery. The estimated actual -alue of these buildings is about -,350.000 and the assessed value will be from $75,000 to $100,000. Mr. Ward had no explana tions to offer for the failure to list these buildings, except that they had been forgotten. ,r Big Increase for Telegraph Lines. The assessed value of the Western Union Telegraph company, the Pos tal Telegraph company, the Burlington Missouri River Telegraph company and the Missouri Kansas Telephone company was raised mdre than 14 mil lion dollars by the state board of rail road assessors this year. The tabula tion of the assessed Values of these 1 companies has just been completed bv i the state auditor. The figures show the following increases in value: liKie. 1907. Western Union Tel. CO....SS45.242 $1,035,750 Postal Telegraph Co 100.8SS 108.2JS B. M. R. Telephone Co. 13,872 16.3S0 Mo. Kan. TelephoneCo. 50G.231 534,0Q7 The board increased the Western union assessments twenty dollars a mile for the first wire. The assess ment is based on about one-third the actual value of the property. -Five counties in Kansas have' no telegraph or telephone lines, according to the figures in the office or tiie auditor. These are Grant, .Haskell, Norton, Stanton and Stevens -counties. Some of these counties may :have local tele phone lines, but they jio not show on the auditor's books afid are confined entirely to the county.. T A CROWD OF (00,000.

All the seating capacity at the grounds was sold a week ahead. Sheffield kicked off and scored a goal within 20 minutes. Everton then became the aggressors, but Sheffield put up a fine defense and it was not until the end of the first half that holders of the cup were able to equalize matters. At what Is known in football here as "three-quarter time," the score was unchanged. During the last quarter both teams put in their best work. There were many exciting rushes but the teams were so evenly matched that neither was able to score for some time. Then one of the Sheffield forwards got the ball and with a well directed kick won a second goal. Everton was unable to score after that and Sheffield captured tha coveted trophy. The defeat of the holder or the cup who .were strong favorites, led to the wildest scenes of excitement. Loi'd Chief Justice Alverstone, pre sented the cup to the winners.

Summer weather seems to be mak ing a determined effort to regain its standing of a week ago and though making but little, progress, the' tern peratures today have been slightly nigtier than at any other time, this week. There was n6 freezing weather in this section of the state last night, though ten out of the fourteen-govern inent stations reported that the mer cury had dropped to the freezing point, the lowest temperature recorded being at Dresden in the northwestern portion of the state.- The threatened snow and blizzard which Was scheduled for the western part of the state failed to materialize and the precipitation at Dodge City on the Santa -Fe amounted to but .01 or an inch, and there was but a trace re corded at other points in the central and western part of the state. A dispatch received at the weatner bureau from Denver, Colorado, this morning states that 15 inches of snow has fallen during the past 24 hours which Is the heaviest fall during tne winter and the greatest amount of pre cipitation recorded in April since 1880. The storm is bearing to the south and east and there is a strong probability that there will be a big drop in the tem perature in the western part of Kansas and a possibility that the snow will ex tend to the west end of the state. In Topeka the wind is blowing from the northeast at the rate of 15 miles an hour and the sun is doing a half way job of shining. "Partly cloudy tonight and Sunday" is the forecast from the weather service with a rising tempera ture for Sunday.

Buenzle, who was barred from a dance hall in Newport. because, as he claims, he was wearing the uniform of the United States navy. can recover at law only the price of his admission ticket, according to a decision handed down by William -W. Sweetland, chief presiding officer of the Rhode Island superior court. The ife clslon which is long and whichr over rules the demurrers raised by the de fendants, says the legal rights of a man wearing the United States uniform are not different from those, of any well, behaved person who possesses a ticket of admission to any place of amuse ment. ,'.Jut3ge (Sweetland rules that Buenzle. excluded because' he was "wearing a naval uniform.' is no different position legally rrom one who is excluded be cause he is not in evening dress-or for any other reason, though It may-have been but the whim of the defendant. The motives of the defendant are held as the cause. In other words, the judge said, the proprietors of a place of amusement are. not under any ob ligations to admit anv Derson whom they may choose to exclude. A suit was brought against, the NewDort Amusement association, proprietors of dancing pavilion at Newnoft from which Buenzle claimed he was exclud ed last September, because he was wearing a naval uniform.. The man agement tendered to him the 25 cents he had paid for his ticket, but Buenzle Immediately brought suit for damages. He was given financial support by na- val officers stationed at Newport, and President Roosevelt sent a check to help defray the expenses of prosecut- ng tne case. The court holds also that the action-. is not properly one for damages for i the -wrongful exclusion of the plaintiff, hut is an action for breach of contract because of the failure of the defend-' ants to carry out the contract they made when they sold the ticket. This covers only the recovery of the ad mission price and the expense incurred in attempting to obtain admission to the pavilion. On the breach of contract phase of the case the demurrers of the defend ants are overruled and they are or dered to plfad on or before April 30.

Little Doubt That Lost Ground Will Be Recorered. BUILDING IS ACTIVE. Leading: Manufacturing lnstitu- tlons Working Full Time. Few Strikes and No Freight Blockades in Sight. New Tork, April 20. R. G. Dun Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade says: -Spring trade develops slowly be cause of unseasonable weather, but the lost ground will be recovered in large measure when normal tempera ture prevails. Cold weather has pre vailed over an unusually large area, retarding agricultural progress as well as trade in light weight wearing ap parel and other spring goods, but similar bad starts in other years have sometimes brought most favorable re suits. The only actual damage of any account is reported in some winter wheat fields of the southwest, where insects and drouth combine to injure grain and most of this area some other crop has been planted. Whole aale business for later seasons is on a liberal scale, building operations are active and leading manufacturing plants are busy. Few labor struggles retard work in the industries and an unusually small number of strikes are scheduled for May. Little complaint Is heard regarding freight blockades, and with the resumption of lake navi gation on the northern border traffic conditions will soon be entirely satis factory. Quiet conditions In "the pig iron market were to be expected after the large sales of last week, and produc tion has been sold so far ahead that quotations are fully maintained. In the steel department there is an in creasing scarcity of billets that handi caps consumers. The wire trade is especially disturbed, because demand has been so urgent that stocks could not be accumulated for spring busi ness, and the season opens with smaller supplies than ever before. -Progress in building operations brought out requirements for struc tural shapes that can not be satisfac torily met. No change has appeared in the pri mary markets for textile fabrics, prices ruling firm and mills are well occupied. Re-sales of cotton are re corded, but without adverse effect, buyers being ready to take all offer ings at second hands. While the coarse yarns section is the least active, there is ho accumulation of goods, and there Is" less Indication of speculation. Few actual alterations have occurred in prices of cotton goods, but the ten dency is still upward, premiums be ing frequently paid in order to secure satisfactory deliveries. A supporting tion, which is unvoidable because of the scarcity of labor. Although there Is a Detter demand for hides on the whole, several grades have cheapened still more because of neavy accumulations. Foreign dry hides are all lower for the week, sales being made c to 94c lower. While leather markets are fairly well sus tained, recent large purchases have iliot had as much effect as was anti cipated and current business Is quiet. The market now averages from 1 1 to 2 cents below the highest point two months ago. New England manufac turers report fall buying of footwear as quiet, but plants are still occupied on spring and summer contracts.

The Enquirer says: The next heavy-weight cham pionship battle will probably be ar ranged in the Enquirer office on Sun day evening, next. At least negotia tions were started last night looking toward that end. Mike Schreck will be in Chicago today. Upon his arri val he will find a challenge from Mar vin Hart waiting him, also an invita tion to come to Cincinnati Sunday to meet Hart and his manager, John Mc Kee, to sign articles for a finish fight before the club offering the best purse. That Hart is entitled to a match with Schreck no one dare dispute. The Louisville boxer whipped Jack Root at Reno, and later rought Tommy Burns, losing a very questionable de cision. Since then both Hart and Schreck have repeatedly challenged Burns, but the Canadian refuses to do business with either man. This leaves the field clear for Schreck and Hart to fight for the honors that once belong ed to Jim Jeffries, and it goes without saying that it will be a. great match if the men are brought together. John McKee, the manager of Hart, said last night: "I have wired Mike Schreck to meet me in the Enquirer office Sunday evening. Hart will be here at the same time and I hope to get the men to agree upon terms for a heavy weight championship battle. There will be no trouble in-securing a purse aa Tonopah, GoJdfield, Los Angeles, San Francisco and several other fight ing centers will hang up good money for this pair of scrappers.' As Hart and Schreck are two of the most will ing fellows in the, world there will be no trouble in signing articles if Schreck can only find time to be on hand."

"Sandow" Mer- tos, the outfielder who helped the New York Giants win a. world's champion ship in 1905, may soon be a' member of the White Sox team. The big field er is in the city, and has had several conferences with President Comiskey of the Sox. Sandow has been virtually declared a free agent by the national commission, and it. is quite possible that he will come to terms with the master of the Sox, as "Cummy" thinks him still -a great ball-player. Mertes. being a right Tianded hitter, would give the Sox more batting power against southpaws, wno ror many years have been bugbears to the champions.

Mr.; Jones, as they call him in the grand stand, was born at home on a bright and sunny day in May, 1874, just At the time the grasshoppers in Kansas were getting a good start- His parents named him Bert, but to the rest of the world he has ever since his birth' been known as "Peewee." He is tall and handsome, a member of the Elks, and he says that when he gets through with baseball he is going to raise a beard. He is a very handsome Ditcher and is good natured as well, but for the benefit of the .ladies day fans it might be well to add that he has already been plucked. His first professional engagement as a pitcher came In 187, when ne sign ed up with the Milwaukee team in the bid Western league. The old Mliwaa kee battery of Jones and Speer is still remembered as one of the best that ever worked in that circuit. So great a showing was made by Jones that season that in the next year ne went to Cleveland In the old twelve club National league. He played there a Couple of years anij was purchased by St. Louis. f rom mere ne went to Denver, and then to Colorado Springs. He also has played with San Francisco, Portland and Lincoln. He has had the novel experience in his career of never having played, on a team lower than class A. This -season,., however, he has been persuaded to stay in To peka on account of the fact that he has a lot of relatives here and he also gets a good salary. Unlike many players he does not have to play ball for a living. He is well fixed as far as material wealth goes. He was largely interested In property in San Francisco until the earthquake deprived him of his hold ings, amounting to several thousand dollars. However, he says that he will make it all back this year, as he says he is going to get a dollar for every game he wins. At the present time he owns a lars-e fruit farm on the out Skirts of Golden, Colo. Last season he had the misfortune of breaking his arm while in a railr toad wreck and he was laid up for the greater paTt of the season. However, even then he won a majority of his games. This year he says he will pitch the best ball of his life and his friends say that he can do it. f Leo Cruegher, a yoting outfielder, has signed up with Jay Andrews at Hutch inson. The Topeka team will leave for their trip through the towns of the Kansas State league, Tuesday morning. Tues--day and Wednesday they will play Fort Scott and will be at Parsons Thursday and Friday. The team after leaving Parsons will divide into Regulars and Yannigans. being supplemented by White" and Dunaway, two of Wash burn's players. The Yannigans will play Saturday and Sunday at Inde pendence end then come home while the Regulars will play Saturday and Sunday at Coffeyville and Monday and Tuesday at Bartlesville. Woods, the Hutchinson Bloomer Girl pitcher is Fald to be a find and Man ager Jay Andrews is "dee-lighted" with the work of the kid. Peck Harrington has been signed by Joplin to play in the outfield.

Phone l'0&6 il three outfielders to time. be used at one The Weetern Association schedule for It-is seruson, while in some respects one of the best which has ever been adopted, Is a peculiar one. One pe culiarity is that in no town In the as sociation will there be more than one game on Decoration Day. Another peculiarity is that during the months or July and August there is not a sin gle off day, but in September, right af ter the Labor Day double header there are three open, dates, September 3, 4 and 5. Dick Rohn has reported for duty at Joplin and will be used at first. Rohn has been coaching the Warrensburg team and is already in shape for the opening of the season. Harry Cheek, who caught for the Webb City team last sec son and was for several seasons previously with the old Sedalia team, has reported for work at Webb City and celebrated the playing of his first game against the Pittsburg Miners the other day by getting two hits out five times up. If Harry could only hit he would be a great ball play er, as ho is about as good a catcher as there ia in the league outside of Jack- Henry. Johnny Fillman, who is paying with the Joplin team, but who is still owned by the Wichita team, is wanted by Wheeling, West Va. However, John nie does not think that he cares to go that far away from home. The Wheel ing team is managed by Ted Price, who wanted to manage Hutchinson but who couldn't get loose. Big Ed Pokomey batted .1000 again yesterday with Toledo. This is the sec ond time this season that he has bat ted .1000. The Oklahoma City Times-Journal printed a column story Thursday ask ing the Oklahoma City management to make some chanres in the team before SMOKERS FIND LEWIS' SINGLE BINDER 5f Cigar better Quality than most 10? Cigars' Ihe season starts. What is needed couple of more pitchers, a shortsto and a new outfielder. The pitch! staff, while there are some ood men on It, does not balance up very well, and will hardly be able to stand the strain when it comes up against some of the heavier hitting teams such as Topeka and Wichita, i Starkey, who played shortstop for Pueblo last sea son, did not even play in enough games there to get his name in the records of the league. He is neither a good fielder nor hitter. Lofton in center field acts like a man who is about all in and he will have to do a whole lot better playing if he sticks through the season. Oklahoma City wants a good team and the town Is a good one and ought to have a first division team at least. Roy St. John Is now playing short stop for Gus Alberts at Bartlesville. St. John played with Topeka a few weeks at the tail end of the season In 1905. Previous to that time he played on the Leavenworth team and was as good a man as there was In the league at the short field position until he got to living too high and slacking his thirst with beverages stronger than buttermilk. Fred Wilkenson, the Joplin pitcher, has not yet reported for work at the' Missouri mining burg. But. the Joplin management does not seem to be wor rying over his case very much, aa his chances of making good are consider ed a3 being very remote. Jewell City 10.

TEH TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRlTAIr SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1907. 11 The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies. Remedies which phvsicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To train the full confidence of the Well-informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many vears past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per fect puritv and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but, the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called' for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Svrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed, with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, the remedy is not adulterated or mis branded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. Louisville, Ky. San Francisco, CaL U. S. A. London, England.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Makes Order. Leavenworth, Kan., April 20. On the order of the fourth assistant post master general twelve or fifteen Leav enworth county farmers have been cut off from the rights of the rural free delivery system for failure to place properly approved boxes at their gates where the mall is deposited and gathered. Something over two months ago an order went forth providing for sixty days' notice to farmers who had not complied with the law with respect to the proper kind of mail boxes. At the end of this period all persons on rural routes who had not substituted the approved boxes were to be cut off. This order has gone into effect against twelve or fifteen persons In Leaven worth county. Many farmers were using obsolete wooden boxes, bird cages and other devices which were not satisfactory because they did not shelter the mall from the weather and were the cause of delay to carriers. CITY SETTLES PROMPTLY. La Harpe Physician in Runaway in Evening Paid Xext Day. LaHarpe. Kan., April 20. The city of LaHarpe believes in fettling promptly any damages that result from defective streets. Last evening Dr. H. J. WiUey made a professional call north of here driving over in his buggy. He was re turning about 10 o'clock, driving south on Main street when he caught up with another team going at a walk. Dr. WiUey attempted to drive around the team, not noticing that a deep ditch at the side of the road, it being very dark. As a result his buggy was turn ed over, the top torn off, and the horse went on with the running gears. Dr. "WiUey was left tangled up unhurt In the buggy. This morning City Attorney Evans called on Mr. Willey and told him the city would meet all damages willingly. SENATOR liOXG'S ADDRESS. Spoke at Frankfort Flag Day Cele bration on "Good Citizenship.

AT THE ELKS DEDICATION'. A. C. MaJlory or Hutchinson Makes Fine Speech at Salina. Salina, Kan., April 20. At the dedication of the new Elks' home in this city last evening one of the best speeches made was that of A. C. Mal loy, the. city attorney of Hutchinson, also exalted ruler of the "Elks of that city. He -said in part: "Conceived in humbleness, inau spicious of birth Elkdom dedicated to humanity and nurtured upon the highest thoughts and principles of mankind, has reared her mighty head in the progress of the nation and ex emplified the grand precepts of her organism. "Less than half a century a?o, the birth of our order was heralded; and. with a membership of thirteen, was first christened 'The Jolly Corks, as it was organized solely from the ranks of the theatrical profession. Its in spiring breath was the innate and ever present tendency of humanity for elevating and congenial companion ship. From this humble, yet praise worthy origin, we have become the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, numbering over ten hundred and fifty local lodges, with a mem bership of 250,000 of the best brain and brawn of American citizenship. "Strange as it may seem, there is probably no secret society in existence in the last half century that has been so many times unjustly assailed by the uninitiated as the order of Elks: nor is there. I freely declare, another order within the knowledge of man which so effectually and absolutely converts criticism into commendation by an intimate knowledge of its pre cepts. There is no man who does not become a better man by becoming an Elk. There is no Elk who does not become a criterion for his fellowman by living up to the obligation and pre cepts of his order. However, it is not every Elk that is a true man: individ ually he may become reprehensible: intrinsically, he may never have been a worthy man, and, if so, the mem bership of the local lodge is account able for the fact that he was per mitted to become an Elk. "The four great purposes to which eur order is dedicated are, Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity: not singlv but collectively a har monious uni3on of the grandest prin ciples that inspired teachings and mankind's experience have Jointly given to the world. "In the spirit of these noble prin ciples, we are assembled here today for the purpose of dedicating this magnificent tempie to the cause of Elkdom. Officers and Brothers of No. "IS: We, of your sister lodges throughout this great state, mingling with you in Brotherly Love, give you greeting, and bring you our highest congratulations upon your notable achievement. We realize that it is no small effort that has brought such fruition: that selfdenial. perseverance and an indomitable spirit are Inef facenbly stamped upon every consti tuent element of this beautiful structure. And in this hour, flushed with the triumph of work well done, amidst the felicitations of these friends and brothers, let us pause and recall the sacred toast of Elkdom To Our Absent Brothers. who speak in unison from the distant shore. "And now. in the name, and on be half of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of th TTnited States of America. I hereby dedicate this tem ple to the uses of Charity, Justice, Brother Love and Fidelity." PRISON" FRCTT IS RTJTXTJD. Crop at the Federal Penitentiary Dam aged to Extent of $5,000. Leavenworth. ApriJ 20. The entire fruit crop of the federal penitentiary has been ruined by the freezing weath er of the past few weeks. The dam age to the fruit alone of the prison farm is estimated at about $5,000. The authorities had looked for a large crop of peaches, apples, pears and cherries this year. Hardly any of the vege tables on the farm were killed by the freeze, but Superintendent Ryan, who has charge of the farm, reports that none is growing in the least. The prison authorities will have to purchase dry fruit during the winter if the prices on fruit are very high. AX I. O. O. F. CELEBRATION. Joint Commemoration by Iola and La Harpe 1odjres.

Hope to Fix a Common Freight Bate Basis. Railway Associations Getting Together on Proposition. CKNTRAL TAKES LEAD Confusion of Tariffs Enables Lines to Favor Shippers. Other Itema of Interest to Kail war People. The most important step toward having all railroads in the United States make the same classification of freight was taken yesterday by the Central Freight association, embracing all the line3 in the territory bounded on the west by Chicago and St. Louis and on the east by Buffalo and Pitts burg. The chairman of the association was authorized by unanimous vote to appoint a committee of five to act Jointly with committees from other as sociations, in securing the adoption at an early date of a uniform classifica tion of freight. Of equal importance to shippers and the transportation companies is the substitution of a uniform freight class ification for the various classifications used by railroads in different sections of the country. The roads east of Chi cago and north of the Ohio river use what is known as the "official" classi fication, which differs widely from the classifications adopted by the western and southern railroads. Articles rated as fifth class by the railroads in cer tain territory, for example, may be rated as Bixth class by western roads and fourth class by the southern roads, making three different rates on the same commodity. The conflicting classifications have caused almost Inestimable trouble and expense to the railroads and their pat rons. Only export rate clerks could determine in a majority of cases the correct through rate for a shipment passing through the territory in volving the three different classifica tions, as from New York to Fort Worth. The differences in classifica tion enabled the railroads so desiring to manipulate rates in many cases to the advantage of certain shippers and the disadvantase of their competitors. The principal stumbling block in the way of the adoption of a uniform bill of lading, for which the shippers of the United States have been fighting for years, was the variety of classifi cations of freight used by the different railroads. The interstate commerce commis sion has repeatedly urged the railroads to adopt a uniform classification of freight and a uniform bill of lading. The southern and southeastern lines recently went on record as favoring this plan, and the western roads have had it under consideration for several months. tr It is predicted that within thirty days all the other freight traffic asso ciations in the United States will ap point committees to act with that of the Central Freight association, and that they will soon Teach an agreement for uniform classification- and uniform bill of lading. The eastern roads are anxious to have the uniform classifica tion go Into effect July 1, if possible.

SUMMER TOURIST RATES. Western Passenger Men Hope Usual Ones Will Prevail. Western railroad men are express ing some fear as to the decision of the Western Passenger association on summer tourist rates. The time is near for the annual announcement, and from Chicago comes the Inkling that rates will be higher than last year, because the trunk lines expect to get out of the tourists what they will lose by reason of 2-cent fares in the several states. While no direct information has been received on the subject there is considerable nervousness among lo cal passenger men, who are eager that last season's basis of rates be main tained. There was a rate from Mis souri river points and from Chicago of one fare plus $2. At intervals through the summer there were occa sions when the tourists from the Mis souri river could buy a round trip ticket to Denver for $15. During last summer the regular one way fare from Denver to the Missouri river was reduced from $17.50 to $16.15, so that if the same basis Is adopted during the coming summer one fare plus $2 the general round trip rate, effec tive from about June 1, and good to return until October 1, will be $18.15, Instead of $19.50 as heretofore. SANTA FE EXTENSION' OPEN. Line Runs From Los Angeles to Searchlight, Xev. An extension from Los Angeles to Searchlight, Xev., was recently open ed for traffic by the Santa Fe, with the result, the wholesale men of Los An geles say, of a great Increase in the trade of Los Angeles. The opening of the extension was attended by marked reduction In freight rates, amounting to $14 a thousand on lumber, and about $7 a ton on coal and ore. The greatest benefit will be on ore. In the past no rock smelting less than $30 could be shipped at a profit. Now it Is possible to handle $15 ore ad vantageously. Most of the product will go to Needles and Salt Lake City. Great advantage, it Is claimed, will be reaped by all lines of industry, and a great impetus will be given to the development of southern California by the operation of the new line. WILL BUILD A ROAD ANYHOW. Floydada, Tex., Seems Assured of a New line. Floydada. Tex.. April 20. Colonel W. M. Massie has Just returned from an automobile trip to New Mexico, and while he will not talk about his trip, it is known that it was in the interest of the Llario Estacado and New Mexi co railroad, a proposition that Colonel Massie and his associates are formu lating. The promoters of this road seem to be in earnest and will doubtless, build it. unless the Santa Fe extends to this place from Plainview. McCREA TO TOUR OX FOOT.

Discarding private cars and automoDues as being modes of conveyance which do not afford enough exercise, .tomes McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania rail road, is sroinsr to pea vacation on foot. In less than a, fortnight he will be somewhere in the British Isles with his sons, James K. and Archibald M., k VETERAM OF THE SPANISH WA Expresses His Great Faith In Peruna. Pe-ru-na Is a Tonic Especially Adapted to the Prevention and Re lief of All Catarrhal Ailments Doe to the Vicissitudes of Climate and Exposure -Experienced by the Soldier. An Old Soldier's Praise. Mr. F. R. Cox. Avis., Pa., writes: "I was taken with hemorrhages of the stomach and had from one to three a year. "The doctors said my stomach could not be cured, and it was only a ques tion of how soon one of these spells would kill me, and I was given up sev eral times, as they had no hope for me. "I finally wrote to you. and you said if it was not a cancer or a tumor, Pe ru na would cure me. "I commenced taking Peruna right away, and have never had one of those spells since. "I am an old soldier, one of Phil Sheridan's Rough Riders, and pretty nearly played out now, but I have a pretty good stomach again." Assistant War Correspondent Rec ommends Pe-ru-na. Mr. H. B. Manley, Assistant War Correspondent, during the war in China, 58 Spark St., care A. G. Pitta way, Ottawa, Can., writes: "When a man travels in extremely hot or cold climates, he realizes how valuable a. friend he has if he carries a bottle of Peruna. 1 "I know of no article in my travel ing outfit which I have learned to praise higher. "If you are suffering- with the ex treme heat, Peruna restores you. or if you are afflicted with a cold, la grippe or bronchitis. Peruna restores you in a short time. "Or if you suffer with sleeplessness or if your appetite is poor, again Pe runa acts as a good, true friend and is the tonic needed. "I have tried it for months and am only too glad to acknowledge it as a true, loyal standby In times of trouble. I do not hesitate to recommend it to all." T. T. Markland, a well known busi ness man of Cincinnati. O., address R. R. No. 1, Mt. Washington, Ohio, writes: "I find that in my case Peruna Is a flesh builder. I am now at work every day, and have gained ten pounds. I took your Peruna according to directions and the result was more than I ex pected. I took no other medicine but Peruna, and it accomplished all. You told me in your first letter that you thought Peruna would cure me and it has. I am 73 years old and can attend to my business as usual. ABLE TO WORK AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY THREE YEARS. 8: A COL. ARTHUR L. HAMILTON. Gallant Porto Rican Soldier Gives Praise to Pe-ru-na. Colonel Arthur L. Hamilton, of the Seventh Ohio Volunteers, writes from 259 Goodale St., Columbus, O., as follows: "Besides having the merits of Peruna fully demonstrated In my family, I have a number of friends who have taken it for catarrh and stomach trouble and all unite in praising it. As a remedy for catarrh. I can folly recommend it." In a later letter to Dr. Hartmah, Colonel Hamilton writes: "My command used your Pemna during our service in the Spanish American War, and I will say this, that if the War Department records are consulted, it will be found that the casualties in my regiment were less than in any other reHment of the Army Corps while at Camps Alger, Meade and Bushnell. The total deaths in my regiment during the seven months' service, were seven out of a total number of 1.400. I, of course, can not help but think that Peruna certainly was a great benfit to my command." In a recent letter. Colonel Hamilton says: "I have used Peruna myself and In my family for the last seven years. I have already written you about the good results I experienced with your remedy during the Spanish-American War." In old age the mucous membranes become thickened and partly lose their function. This leads to partial loss of hearing, smell, and taste, as well as digestive disturbances. Peruna corrects all this by its effi cient operation on all the mucous membranes of the body. One bottle will convince anyone. Once used and Peruna becomes a life long standby with old and young. Pe-ru-na Contains Xo Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent Use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates ca tarrh by removins the cause of the catarrh. Almost Xervous Prostration. Rev. A. M. Smith, Hahlra. Ga., writes: "For the past two or three years I have been troubled with nervousness, at times resulting In almost nervous prostration. Recently I have had very severe attacks, and was induced by a friend to try Peruna. This I have done with more than satisfactory re sults, and consider Peruna the best medicine on the market for what it is recommended. "To all' who suffer with nervousness in any form I would say, 'use Pe runa,' tramping from one place of interest to another on an energetic and health ful sight-seeing tour. -Mr. McCrea and his sons will sail from New York on the Hamburg American Line steamer Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. They plan to be back by the middle of next month, but may stay away longer". NO ADVANCE IX STEEL RAILS. Will Be the "Same This Year as Pre vailed Last. New York, April 20. Notwithstand ing the retrenchment policies inaugu rated by a number of the leading rail roads In the last few weeks, the Unit ed States Steel corporation will open its books tomorrow for the acceptance of orders for steel rails for delivery in 1908. While this is no earlier than the usual time for booking the orders for the succeeding year, the fact that so many large buyers of railroad steel have begun to cut down appropria tions for improvements will give the developments in the steel rail market for the next few days unusual Interest. It is said in well-informed trade cir cles that there are already buying orders awaiting the opening of the United States Steel corporation's book, which aggregate nearly 250,000 tons. The pressure of the demand for rail road equipment at this time last year filled the order books of the company up to the full capacity of the plants for the first six months of 1907 almost immediately. While it is not expected that the scramble will be as eager this season, It has been confidently predict ed by steel corporation officials that the company will be pressed to its full capacity during the whole of 1908. The United. States Steel corporation has fixed the selling price of rails for the season of 1908 at $28 per ton. This is the price which has obtained for several years. NOT TO LEXGTHEX SCHEDULES. Western Presidents Won't Agree to Run Trains Slower. The presidents of western railroads held a special meeting in Chicago yes terday to consider the question of lengthening the schedules of through passenger trains from Chicago to all important points in the west. For a month the general passenger agents wrestled with the problem, but could not reach an agreement. At the out set some ona wanted to add eighteen hours to the running time of the fastest train between Chicago and California, but the longer the passen ger officials talked the shorter became the time they were willing to add to their schedules. While It was generally admitted that the present schedules are so fast that trains can run according to them B 1 1 tf:iilil!i i f 1 -Mmm HI 1 LgsaaI fiiiiii urn Leave Topeka. 4:30 A. M. 4.45 A.

One company, running the fastest train be tween Chicago and Denver, said it could not change its schedule to Der, ver. but would agree to lengthen the time to other points. The shortest lines to St. Paul would not agree to lengthen schedules to that point to suit their competitors with longer lines. It was the same regarding Kan sas City, Omaha, and other centers. As a result the passenger officials finally agreed that they could not agree, and so reported to their presi dents. OFFICE BOY PRECOCIOUS. Had Prominent Santa Fe Men Well Classified. A number of years ago there were two men in the employ of the Santa Fe road who wer-j named Davis. One was James A. Davis, who is now a stockbroker and who was then In charge of the railroad's industrial de partment. The other Davis was in charge of the' company's refrigerator line. James Davis was such a "hot air" artist that the company always selected him to "Jolly" state legis latures and to Induce municipalities to give the railroad its streets or to make any one give up anything he did not want to part with. Davis could make a country legis lator think that he had George Washington backed off the boards and that the country was about to dis cover him. As might be expected he soon acquired a reputation as a dis penser of "smooth talk" which was enviable to possess. The other Davis was also a genial fellow, but owing to the fact that h had charge of the iced goods which went over the road and also owing to the fact that he could not hold a candle to James A. when it came to talking things out of people, he ac quired the reputation of being some what chilly. Accordingly E. P. Ripley's new of fice boy soon came to know them as the warm and the frigid propositions about the general offices. One day the president- pushed the office boy's bell button and the young autocrat hastily put in an appearance. "Boy," said the president, "tell Mr. Davis that I would like to see him right away." The boy started for the door, he51 tated. thought a moment, and then, turning to the president, he asked: "Mr. Davis, sir?" "Yes, Mr. Davis." "Hot or cold?"

Mrs. Cuff has been in fairly good health and retired last night feeling about as usual and the sup position is that she died from heart failure. Funeral announcements will be made later. Leonard F. Wilkinson, the two and onehalf-year-old son of W. L. Wilk inson of 1316 Quincy street, died at his parents' home Friday of scarlet fever. The funeral, which was private, was held from the family home this morning at 10 o'clock. A. D. Gibbs died at his home. 278 Kellam avenue, Oakland.

Banta was held at the residence of his ton, G. W. Banta. at 3 o'clock Friday. Mr. Ranta came to Kansas from In diana in 1883 and located at Lyndon, Osnge county, where he lived until the death of his wife nine years ago, when he came t.- Topeka. where he lived until he went to Frederick. Oklahoma, where his death occurred on April ISth. He was 88 years-old and a life long Christian. He was a member of the First Christian church of this city. A. M. Banta of Frederick. Okla., D. A. Banta of Great Bend. G. W. Banta. Alice Wright and Sarah Irvine, all of A. G. Goodwin,- who will probably be superintendent pf construction as well as general superintendent of the Topeka and Southwestern railroad received a telegram from W. L. Taylor this morn ing who is in New York, stating that the contract for the construction of the liae has been let and that work will be commenced about June 1, providing that the township bonds carry at the election May 21. Mr. Taylor left for New York the first of the week to close up the deal with Lamprecht Brothers Co., who are furnishing the capital for the road and the telegram received this morning is the first that has been heard from him since. About two more days will be consumed in going over the specifi cations and consulting Engineer -Herbert who has charge of the engineering department of the Lamprechts and who will probably accompany Mr. Taylor to Topeka. The contract has been changed to read that the road bed is to be of 12 inch ballast in the place of ten. The contract price for the construction is placed at $23,000 per mile which in dicates that the road bed will be about the same as used by all standard rail roads. There is now little doubt but that the road will be built if the town ship bonds are voted and there is but little opposition to them as they ao not become available until tlie road is in actual operation. When completed this will be the first modern interurban road complet ed in the west. Steam will be used for the purpose of moving freight and gasoline and electricity for the pas senger service. Traffic arrangements have already been entered into with an of the railroads entering Topeka and it will be possible for a farmer on the line to load a car of cattle anywhere on the route and ship them any place in the west without a change of cars. There will be two passenger trains day, one leaving Topeka in the morning and the other arriving in the evening, which will give stock shippers the best possible service in shipping to Kansas City and St. Joseph markets. Eight passenger trains each way every day will take care of the traffic of this kind, and two of them will be run for the accommodation of people working in the city and living in the Seabrook neighborhood. The one In the morn ing will make the trip in early enough so that suburbanites may reach their Dlaces of .business at an early hour, and a companion train will carry them home at night. Covered platform stations will De constructed every two miles so that freight and especially cream can be loaded as well as passengers. l ne trains, however, will stop anywhere on the line to pick up passengers in side of the city limits and in the thick- lv DODulated districts, and in the country stations will be provided every mile.

Washington. April 20. In response to a call from Secretary Root, all of the American delegates to the Second Hague peace congress with the ex ception of Judge U. B. Rose, of Arkan sas assembled in the diplomatic room at the state department today and spent several hours in consultation with the secretary and Assistant Sec retary Bacon relative to their share in the .work of the approaching congress. General Porter and Mr. Choate, who were appointed last June already had received the department's instructions for the presentation of their case to the peace congress but the increase of, ine delegation Dy the addition of Mr. Buchanan, General Davis and Admiral Sperry and the enlargement of the prospective program made necessary a repetition of the old instructions and considerable additions thereto. secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor presided today and opened the discussion with an earn est expression of the hope that -if The Hague conference did not reach an agreement as to the limitation of arma ment among the. nations, an under standing would be arrived at to prevent a neutral power from furnishing mon ey to a belligerent. It ought, he said. to be made a hostile act to furnish money to nations involved in war. Richard Olney, who was one of the principal speakers, criticized President Roosevelt's Santo Domingo policy and condemned the taking of the Panama canal strip without compensation to Colombia. As to Santa Domingo, Mr. Olney said the United States was be ing made an international debt collect ing agency; that the policy tended to tyranny and tended to. retard rather than advance the progress of interna tional law, which he said, was not founded pn the will pf Caesar, The general topic of The Hague con ference and the development of inter national law as a science was discuss ed by John W.

R. Anthony, is a fizzle. At 3 o clock, there were only .five people at the Democratic club rooms, and W. J. Whittekind, chairman of the committee which called the meet ing said: "It looks as though wie would not be able to do much. I had expected a number of, people here from Topeka, and some from Valley Falls had promised to come. But they have failed to show up. Then one of the men we thought of as a candidate. Dr. Davis, has a lob under .the fed eral government, and can't make the race. We have also found that we are too late to get the name of our. can didate on the ballot. When we had the meeting of the congressional com mittee three weeks ago, there were only four members there besides my self, and they were all for-Anthony," and the leader of the forlorn hop sighed disconsolately. The trouble seems to be that there are only about' seven Democrats who are much opposed to Anthony, and they are not all opposed to him at the same time. r SEAL OF APPROVAL Is Placed on I). A. R.

She, ..therefore. Jooked to .Mr. Bowser' for an explanation, and ha said:, t, "J. hadn't a,-,thou.ght of doing -.this when I went a-way this morning,,, but something happened right after dinher that may be cabled the hand of Provi dence. You have heard of what is called the Lawson Pink, haven't you?'' "I've read about it." "Thomas W. Lawsori of Boston' paid $40,000 for a pink and named it. after himself, and if is said that he made over a million dollars out of it. Orders came for his pinks from all over the world. If it hadn't been for a briridle cow breaking into his yard One night and gulping air the pinks down he'd have made more money than John Rockefeller." "Well, what' has this to do with your getting home at this hour of the day and' making a flower bed?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "As I raid, the hand of Providence seems to be in it. A man came into the office this morning and asked for Jones. I told him there was no Jones around there. He seemed very much put out, and I finally learned from him that he wanted to sell Jones a tulip a tulip that will Knock-tne Latvson Pink colder'n a. wedge. The man is a florist and has been experimenting for the last ten years with tulips. He has finally struck it." "With a club V was innocently ked. "How- many colors do you see in the ordinary tulip?" he queried, as he dropped his voice to a whisper and looked all around to see if anybody was listening. "Two or three. "And what would you say to one showing seventeen? Seventeen differ ent colors, Mrs. Bowser, and all of them so bright and vivid as to arouse the beholder to. the heights of enthus iasm and admiration. Lawson and his old Pink can go hang. They are not in it. They are-.not within a hundred miles of being in It. In a month or six weeks from Tiow Samuel Bowser and the Bowser Tulip will be talked about on the streets or- tjonsianunopie on the one hand and Siberia on the other. There will be a crowd of a thousand people in front of our house all day long. There will be forty policemen on duty here. .There will be from, five to twenty reporters interviewing us day and night. I will be filling orders from the uttermost ends of the earth. Tomorrow I shall order one thousand photographs and be ready for the papers. By thunder, Mrs. Bowser by thunder, but we.have nit it at last; His earnestness and enthusiasm couldn't help but touch her a bit, but presently she,', asked in a business voice: "And what did you pay for this wonderful tulip?".. ."What do. you think? He had seen I and talked with Jones on a previous occasion. Jones had agreed to give him five hundred dollars, as ne had now lost track-of Jones, and as he wanted the money to pay off a chattel mortgage on his horse. I saw my op portunity. I laughed at him. I sneer ed at him. I called him a robber ahd a swindler. In' brief, I bulldozed him Into taking $25 for the tulip. There were tears In his eyes as he went out. "Yes. tears of Joy. I'd shed a few myself for that much money. Mr. Bowser, you've been worked again." "Woman, don't talk to me that way! I am no child. I think I understand hu man nature as well as you do, and I'll take my dying oath that the man is all right. He offered to go before a notary and make oath that it was a seventeen colored tulip, and that it was the only one In the knart. world. If I hadn't taken It he'd hava gone on to see Law-, son and probacy got $20,000 for It." The bulb was wrapped up in tissue paper. Mrs. Bowser looked at It and saw that it had four or five green Sprouts ready to do more growing, hut that it didn't differ from the ordinary tulip bulb. "I ought to have had that $25 to get roe a dress with," she. finally said, as she returned the bulb. "To get a dress with! "Great Heavens! You compare a dress to a tulip with seventeen different colors to a tulip that will make our name famous In a month to a tulip that may bring -us in tens' of thousands-of dollars within a few weeks! Stop and think of the su preme selfishness of it. By John, but I wouldn't have believed that such hu man nature existed! In your envy and Jealousy and selfishness you would have the thing a failure, but it won't be, I have the bed prepared and I will now. -set out the tulip. It will grow. It will flourish. It-will throw out its sev enteen different colors. You can go on.' Mrs. Bowser entered the house and the bulb was placed in the middle i of the bed. It was an hour to dinner, and during, the. interval Mr. Bowser sat down on the steps to watch and guard A dog came along and jumped the fence and would have pulled the bulb from the ground by one of the shoots had not the watcher yelled at him, A hoodlum came along and looked over the gate and asked Mr. Bowier if he was going into turnip-growing.' 'The cold stare he received made his scalp tingle. A tramp came along and recognized the bulb as a sugar beet and wanted to discuss the ri?e and fall of the vege table, but he- wag ordered t move on In such tones that he was reminded of lunatics and mad dogs. During the dinner hour Mrs. Bowser arked no questions and the tulip 'was not referred to. Acting under instruc tion from Mr. Bowser the cook took frequent pteps frcm the basement win dows to see that no one entered the yard. As he rose from the table he said to Mrs. Bowser: "Madam, I shall pass the evening on the front steps. If you are planning to throw hot water on my tulip or other wise destroy it you will meet W'lth dis appointment." "But why should I wish to destroy your tulip?" she protested. "Why have you made 12 different at tempts to assassinate me since we were married?" It was an hour or more before dark ness came. Mr. Bowser kept his eye on that- tulip and thought of wealth and fame and pictured a ruBh of re porters to secure his photograph. When darkness settled down Mrs. Bowser came to the door and asked him if he was going to Bit up all night, but in reply he gave her a glare that made her shiver. He was there When the bells struck eight. So was his tulip. He was there at nine, and the tulip was nestling down in its earthy bed and preparing to grow. At ten o'clock Mrs. Bowser came to the door again and found him nod ding. .The boy on the opposite side of the street who was just getting ready to hurl a potato stayed his hand, and after standing for a mo ment, she re-entered the house and went to bed. Eleven o'clock rame. Mr. Bowser was asleep and dreaming when a shadowy form stole up the- street. It stopped at his gate ana peered De- tween the- oickets. It made sure that the man on the steps slumbered, and then it leaped the fence and advanced upon the flower bed. ine seventeen colored tulip was there and defence less. That shadowy form was a dog, and he was after bones. With a gurgle in his throat he made a sudden spring, tore at the dirt for a second, and as Mr. Bowser awoke with a yell the canine seized the bulb in his mouth and leaped back Into the street. The yell brought Mrs. Bowser to the 'window. She looked down to see Mr. Bowser roll down the steps and make off after the -fleeting dog. There was no one else on the street. There were flickers from the electric light; there were ghostlv shadows dancing here and there; the spirits of departed dogs and tulips frolicked up and down. And as she looked, the forme of Mr. Bowser and the pursued vanished in the darkness down the street, and the just and the unjust who had been mo mentarily disturbed turned over In their beds and slumbered again.

There was a large crowd of the rela tives and friends of participants pres ent at the exhibition and it did not take much of an effort on the part of the performers to bring forth round after round of applause, but at that all the applause they received was most "deserved for their work was of an un usually high order. Plenty of good fun was interspersed between the drills and other exercises. The chief fun makers were a couple of voung fellows appropriately called 'Biftum and S-s.kum." They indulged In .i cams of Sailor's Tag. This game Is a novelty here and is a game of tag In which both ihe contending parties are evidently "it." Birfum and boanum had their right legs tied to the same rope of considerable length. They were blind-fold-d and in their left hands carried dumbbells. These they rapped on the floor and in that way located each other's whereabouts. In their right hands they carried stuffed clubs and when they thought they were within striking distance of each other they swiped away with their cluts. frequently striking nothing more substantial than the vacant air, but auite as frequently each other. The other humorous event was furnished by th preparatory leaders, who. garbed in the fantastic costumes of clowns. Indulged in all sorts of gymnastic games. Tl.e nrindow jump, by the mer.-.bers of the employed boys class, als. furnished some fun as well as an opportunity for seme particularly agile work on the part or tne Doys. The preparatory class went through a free calisthenio drill, the junior class a dumb-bell drill, and the senior A class a drill with steel wands. There -was fancy and figure marching by the Junior and student leaders, side horse work end pyramids by the senior B leaders, athletic calisthenics by the students' class, a potato race by the Fcnior B class end parallel Dar work and the formation of pyramids by the senior A leaders.

Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller institute for medical research, who has been searching for a remedy for cerebro spinal meningitis, "spotted fever," be lieves he is near the goal. In tracing the virulence of the disease and to dis cover a check he has used innumerable mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and monkeys. A practical an titoxin will be brought out as a result of the research, it is hoped. Dr. Flexner believes that fresh guinea pig serum can destroy all the germs present, with the Important provision that the number shall not be too great. The serum that maybe used as an antitoxin is near the point of comple tion. Should another epidemic occur It is believed that the researches of Dr. Flexner will assist the medical profes sion to a most decided degree in taking care of it and preventing the usual large percentage of mortality. The beginning of Dr. Flexner's work was after the cerebro spinal meningi tis epidemic during the winter of 1904 and the spring of 1905. In the per iod of the epidemic there were about four thousand cases. The deaths num bered S.4 29. The percentage of deaths was 73.5. This tremendous fatality caused scientists all over the world to take up the subject of finding a reme dy. The germ has the remarkable name of diplococcus Intracellulars. Every experiment seemed to show that its life was short. It w-as also shown that the germ was to be found in the nose and the pharynx, and hence easily communicable. It is found later, how ever,' that although the germ in itself, without attention,- might be of short life, under certain conditions its per iod of existence was not limited by a few months.

For the bene fit of many autoists who plan touring trips to the Jamestown exposition at Norfolk, Va., a new route has been dis covered and mapped out b:' R. H. Johnson, treasurer Of the New York Motor club. This route is shorter by 300 miles between New York and Norfolk than the routes recommended during the winter-by a committee of the Jamestown exhibition,- and is said to present better, -.average riding con-, ditions. j Briefly, in place- of following the better known course via Baltimore, Washington, Fredericksburg, Rich mond and Petersburg on the main land, necessitating a long detour around Chesapeake bay, the new route is almost due south from Wilmington. Del., straight through the center of the peninsula between Chesapeake bay and the Atlantic ocean. The largest, towns passed through on the peninsula are Smyrna, Dover, Sea ford. Salisbury and Princess Anne, with Cape Charles as the terminal of the automobile tour. From the last named place it is less than" a three hour sail across Chesapeake bay to Norfolk with boats- makins two trips a day each way. During the exposi tion a more frequent trip schedule is planned. .j- The total distance, from New York to Cape Charles by road is shown by odometer to be about 330 miles, as against about 650 miles from New York to Norfolk by road via Washing ton and Richmond. The trip may be made in easy stages in four days, with night stops at Philadelphia, 90 miles; Dover, Del., 76 miles, and Princess Anne. Md., 76 miles. The distance from Princess Anne to Cape Charles is 88 miles. In a faster run the journey may be made in three days, with the first night's stage at Wilmington. Del.. 120 miles, and the second night at Salisbury, 107 miles From Salisbury to Cape Charles is 104 miles For the 240 miles from Philadelphia to Caoe Charles there is not a sign of a hill." The prevailing type of road is a heavy sand relieved at Intervals by fine shell highways. It is possible this route will be adopted for the tour of the Automobile Club of America in the fall.- i JUSTICE WAS QUICK.

14 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATEJOURKAL SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1907. EXIT THE "PONY' Ktt Rale at Washburn Crtatcs Consternation. Honor System in Examinations Is Abolished. HAND DROPS HARD. One Entire Academ y Class Loses Ail Its Credits. Two Students "Caught in the Act" Expelled. Consternation has struck deep down into the hearts of the lads and lassies of Washburn college. They are strolling about the campus shaking their heads in a strange man lier and whispering mysterious some things to cne another. AH the while the members of the ta.c- ulty are meeting with a frequency which indicates the discussion of most weighty matters. "What is it all about?" "Oh Just merely some cribbing that's going on, said a pretty girl with shrug of her shoulders. The college circles have been torn asunder by rulings of the faculty re lating to cribbing during examination and the use of "ponies" for translations in some of the Latin and Greek classes. In certain of the college classes the honor system has been in vogue. The honor system provides that each stud ent shall be placed on his honor not to avail himself of any outside aid in the course of taking an examination. uur ing the period that the examination, is on the students participating run tne class and the instructor turns over the supervision to the student body after attending to the small details which eurround the preparation of the exam ination. The majority of the classes, however, are not managed by the honor system and the instructor remains in the room to- see that the examinations are car ried out regularly and that no cribbing from either books or brighter students ia permitted. The fell hand of the faculty has been dropped upon these latter classes. One entire class in the academy that was caught cribbing during an examination has been deprived of its credits in Latin. All of the credit for the work done by the class has been wiped off of the records and this work must be done over next year. No more classes for the remainder of the term will be held in Latin for this particular body of students. Two students who were caught using a translation in the Y. M. C. A house on the campus have been ex pelled. The boys were very busy go ing over the work which had been outlined and were using a "pony" to aid them in getting a more classic translation. Never before has the faculty ruled so rigorously. Heart to heart talks have often occurred but expulsion from school has never before been meted out as a punishment. As the result of all of these faculty meetings, some of which have been very exciting with loud voiced dis cussion the studerta have been ac quainted with an ultimatum which soells expulsion if they are caught practicing the forbidden methods of get'.ing better grades. The tumult has reached such a stage that it even affected a very etaid professor of philosophy who never before gave this waywardness a thought. Abstruse subjects, which relate to metaphysics, pschology and! mental philosophy, are wont to occupy this professor's attention and he has never given a moment's thought to possible, schemes of getting grades which did not emanate from hard study. As a result some of the more easy honor students have been inclined to vote Jiim "easy" during tests and final ex aminations and have "cribbed" rather freely. This staid professor, however, re cently announced a new system of seating his classes during examina tions which makes possible a close check on the examination papers. Certain students are seated side by side and if there is too much simi larity in the papers returned after the examination, the professor has a chance to check the fault and have a talk with the supposed guilty ones. Nothing that has happened this .year has caused such talk as this ftand taken by the faculty. SALINA ELKS' SEW HOME. Have a Three- Story Structure Erected at a Cost of $30,O0O. Saltna, Kan., April 20. The new Elks' home was dedicated here Friday afternoon by J. S.

All the speakers praised the or der highly for its commendable work In erecting the beautiful home. The festivities closed at night by a special session of the lodge at which a large class was tven the work. The home is said by those who have Been many Elks' homes to be one of the finest in the west. It is a three story building and cost the organiza tion about $30,000.

CENTENARIANS TOWED Sweethearts In Childhood. Their Ro mance Is Revived. St. Louis. April 20. Announcement was made today that on August 26, next, John B. Bundren, who on April 1 was 101 years old. will be united in marriage to Miss Rose McGuire, who is almost 100 years old. The wedding will take place on Mr. Bundren's es tate near Tatesville. Tenn. He has been visiting relatives in St. Louis for several weeks and has just returned to Tennessee. The announcement reveals a ro mance. Bundren and Miss McGuire were sweethearts in Tennessee in their youth. Her parents, of English de scent, would not sive consent for their marriage and finally returned to Eng land, taking their daughter along. Bundren went to California and ac quired considerable wealth. He never married. From California he returned to Tennessee and bought his birth place near Tatesville. He decided to hold a reunion of old friends on his estate this year and sent out numerous invitations. Not long ago he received a letter from Miss McGuire, who is still un married. Correspondence followed. and he renewed his offer of marriage and was accepted. The date of the wedding and the reunion of friends has been set for August 26, on the bride s birthday anniversary, when she will be 100 years eld. Bundren has long white hair and a flowing white beard. He does not smoke or drink liquor and apparently is hale and hearty. In June he will go to Preston, Lancashire, England, to escort his intended bride, to his Ten nessee estate for the wedding. Young John B. Bundren of St. Louis, a name sake, will be best man. GAME WARDEN BVSY. C. E. Costello Arrests Six Net Fisher men at Doniphan Lake. Atchison, April 20. Six fishermen and a duck hunter at Doniphan lake were swooped down upon by C. E. Costello, deputy fish and game warden. and placed under arrest. Costello, who Is a traveling warden, has been hang ing about Atchison for some time, working up the case. On Wednesday he went fishing in Doniphan lake with hook and line and it is claimed that fishermen were using trammel nets all around him. He procured their names and swore out warrants for them in Troy yesterday. Sheriff Kent of Doni phan county, met him at Doniphan lake this morning, where Costello had the fishermen and the stray duck hunt er lined up on the west bank of the lake. Those arrested are the two Ma- heney boys. David and Fred Yeigh, Dessie Warfield and a man named Koehler. The duck hunter was a young man named Swope, who works for Nick Brenner. He has the heaviest fine hanging over him for killing a duck ut of season, without a license. Cos tello Eays he is not sure, but he be lieves the minimum fine !n his case is 100. The fishermen can be fined from 5 to $100 on each count. One of the six fishermen says he will fight the case; the others say they will plead guilty. They were taken to Troy. Pp.tent of an Ottawa Man. Kansas City, April 20. An act of he Galveston city commission requir ing street car conductors to call all streets gave Morris J. Lynch, then a reporter there, an idea. He invented a machine to show the names of the cross streets to be operated by a push button. Mr. Lynch this morning came from his home in Ottawa, Kan., and had a talk with C. N. Black, general manager of the Metropolitan. Mr. Black told him he would give the machine a trial as soon as the first one is built. Mr. Lynch has patented his invention. Hardly Fair. Senator Tillman, attacking a certain measure, said: "The penalty this measure imposes is unjust. It makes the offender pay twice. It is like an incident that oc curred one night in a Pennsylvania res taurant. A patron, dining in the res taurant with his wife, said to the wait er when his bill was brought: 'Waiter, one item is wrong here.' We didn't have three plates of soup. We had only two.' 'Pardon me, boss,' said the waiter. Tou forget the plate what I spilled over the lady's dress.' It doesn't always follow that a man with a full beard won't tell a barefaced lie. SECRET IS OUT. The Altoona Cobbler's Ash .Burning Compound Formula Has Been Giren to the World by Chemical Analysis. EVERYBODY IS WISE. Manufacturers and Housekeep ers Cut Fuel Bill in Two. Time for Ash Heaps In Back Yard Is Past. Altoona, Pa.. April 20. The re markable secret for burning ashes with coal, discovered by John Ellmore, an Altoona cobbler, and which has ex cited attention almost the world over, is out. Almost every householder In Altoona is now usins it with great sav ing in coal bills. Several well known chemists immediately after it was an nounced that Ellmore had solved the problem of obtaining heat from ash set to work to try to discover the formula. They were successful, and here it is: Common salt, one pound. Oxalic acid, two ounces. Water, one gallon. MiX and moisten a. mlrtn nnntalni. ing one part coal and three parts ashes and a better fuel than pure coal is obtained. The ashes of anthracite coal hiim ss readily as do those of bit nmlnnnc This mixture will, upon being placed upon a Durning nre, tuse into a cokelike mass and deoosit but little residue The chemical action of this compound is liius expiainea: When an aqueous solution nf an al kaline salt, such as common salt, is mixed with coal ash. -the result is that a mild lye is formed, which, when mixed, with any combustible material, such as coal, and upon the application of heat gives off oxvaren cas thus en abling rapid combustion. The adlition of oxalic acid caused a chemical change of greater value than the first, for the reason that it results in the formation of a carbide, which in turn giv.s off acetylene sras.- this adding to the intensity of the heat and racintating comriete combustion. It is possible upon moistening a small quantity of ashes without the addition o coal, to readily detect the odor of acetylene gas, and if the treated ashes are placed upon a lighted fire they will ius-; ana Durn to a nne powder. The compound is now being used in many large industrial and mercantile places here, and it is claimed for it that it has reduced the fuel item more than half. It has eliminated almost entirely the question of disposition of ashes, which has been considerable where great quantities of coal are con- i sumed. Eiimore, who discovered the secret and foctissed attention upon the" possi bilities -that lurked in ashes, claims thai, his patent will protect him in his secret. He says he has received an of fer from the British government, pro vided he can demonstrate the practica bility of his compound. While it is everywhere .conceded that Ellmore has conferred a great boon upon humanity; it is feared that he will not derive cny tangible benefits from his discovery in view of. the facts that hundrjds of others have secured the same results, following his lead. Ellmore insists that no chemists have discovered his secret. The formula published which, it is asserted, will produce the same results, is not as good as Us, he says. Hardly a day passes, he declares, that one or more persons do not come forward with a claim to some such discovery. He de nounces them as impostors. MRS. BURTON ON TEXT BOOKS. Wonders Why the Members of Com mission Were Not Confirmed. Mrs G. G. Burton, who has fought the American Book company more vigorously and effectively than any one in Kansas, and whose attacks on Governor Hoch for his alleged "al liance"; with the book trust was one of the features of the recent state campaign, sends this communication to the State Journal:. "To the Editor of the State Journal "In your Issue of the 16th, you tell us the 'cohorts' of the book com panies have arrived keen, smooth brainy fellows and the battle is about to begin. All this would imply that in so far as the question of text books is concerned, we are yet free. If George. W. Crane made a false boast and was not able to. name Governor Hoch's text book commission, what power did he bring to bear upon the American Book company to force the purchase of his books, which for years they had insisted were worth less? They are burdened with vari ous texts covering the same subjects. If Governor Hoch did not deliver the goods for Mr. Crane, why did he not follow the law, which says that, "by and with the consent of the senate a governor shall name suitable persons for members of the text book com mission,' It was feared by the fram ers of our text book law that a gov ernor might be unduly Influenced by these 'smooth, brainy fellows' and purposely they refrained from giving the governor full power, but this Governor Hoch usurped, in spite of the fact that the senate called for his appointments and demanded the rigTit to exercise the power given them. It would seem that It ought not to be necessary to arouse public sentiment, on so important a subject, to lead a governor to obey the law, but after this had been done, Hoch defied the statutes, resorted to the trick of nam- Why pay rent, when the Shawnee Building Loan Association, 115 West 6th street will help you to own your own home and then you will pay rent to your self? Ask for our book let, "Are you tired of paying Rent?" ing the same board twice, as a means of cheating the senate of' its power, and announced his second act of law lessness as a vindication of his first. "In conclusion let me correct one statement you make and that is that the writer was in the employ of the uoon trust, voluntarily I tried to as sist my husband to direct their busi ness in a different channel than it has gone, ana wnen he found it impossi ble and resigned, I found volumes of evidence in my home, which I believe me people or the state ought to have. You are correct!" when vou sav there were a lot of Democrats who thought mis one or th reasons why Hoch should not have been re-elected gov ernor and about sixty-eight thousand Republicans agreed with us, and as it now appears that the whisky people were "worked" many more thousands jiuw agree with us, but it is too late, and we are only waiting delivery into the hands of the book trust or any oiner oia trust. "MRS. G. G. BURTON." PACKED THE HIGH SCHOOL. 'The Rivals" Given Creditably by the Senior Class. "Standing room only" was at a pre mium In the high school auditorium last night, while the Senior Dramatic club was presenting its annual play. The auditorium was packed like a box of sardines, and. foot room was at a premium. The hall seats about a thousand, in positions where the stage is visible, and at least 200 more were standing against the walls. "The Rivals," although a play rare ly attempted by amateurs, was pre sented in a creditable manner. It may not be necessary for all the great foot light specialists who have appeared in this classic to crawl under something to hide their mortification, but it is safe that no school dramatic club ever made a cleaner" stab at the play. Helen Morrow as "Mrs. Malaprop," was particularly good. Her makeup was perfect, and would have been a credit to a professional .production, and she slaughtered English as she is spoke with a clearness and precision which could not have been beaten by a real star. Owing to the serious illness of Gart Bonebrake, who was scheduled to play the part of the fire-eating, powder-burning "Acres," Cyrus Monroe was drafted into the part within the last week. Although the part is one of the "heavies" of the play, and the actor had but a few days' training, he proved the second choice a good one. Every member of the cast, from the principals to the stage directors, did their work well, and the high school students gave something which de serves a lot of credit a good amateur theatrical performance.

She Proved That tier Husband Was Cruel. An absolute fllvtiTfeC was granted today by Judge Dana fa the district court to Mrs. Ladpra Hardten from her husband. Chacles Hardten. The Hardtens have been married for six years and lived at-No. 1201 Kansas avenue. Mr. Hardten, who is em ployed in the Santa.. Fe shops, did -not contest the suit. -i Mrs. Hardten ..took the witness stand in court this' morning and testi fied that her husband had treated her on several occasions with extreme cruelty. She said that he had been in the habit of staying away from home all nisht and that- on one occasion when she was ill he stayed away from the house for three- nights. When he was told of her. illness, he declared that she ouarht to die, so Mrs. Hardten testified. She said also that she had tried to treat him as a true and hon est wife. A niece .of Mrs. Hardten's corroborated her aunt's testimony as to the manner in which the defendant hfid treated his wife and Judge Dana granted a divorce. A stipulation has been agreed to bv the parties where by Mrs. Hardten "is.to receive $200 in cash and a lien on her husband's property to guarantee the payment of attorney fees and costs in the action. HOCH WON'T MOVE. Neither Will He Sell Record. His Marlon "No. I have no"1 intention of selling the Record, and I have no intention, of leaving Marlon. Dtd you see what I said in the paper this week?" Thus did Governor1 Hooh puncture the story that he was about to give up his newspaper business and his residence at the town where he had lived for 30 years. The "piece" In the Record, which heads the editorial column is as fol lows "The report given circulation by one of ti e dallies to the-effect that the sale of the Record by its present owner is contemplated is entirely wrong. No such sale has been or is being con sidered. It is true that effort to buy the paper has been' made from "time to time. But don't blame the Record if it is such a good paper that a .lot of newspaper fellows want to buy it!" Governor Hoch has hired a new fore man in Dan Lindsey's place, and has secured a man to run the other end of the paper when Homer Hoch comes to Topeka to take the job of private sec retary. "I have had a number of offers from people who want to buy the Marion Record," said Governor Hoch, "but I have not considered any of them. I am pleased to observe, however, that there seems to be such a demand for a chance to buy a paper like the Rec ord." TO MEET AT GARDEN CrTTT.' First Convention of the Churches of Christ In Kansas.

One Medicine Company Wants $10,000 Because Another Secured Names. A suit has been started by W. W. Gavitt and Henry E. Gavitt, constitut ing the Gavitt Medical company.against the Dibble Mercantile ocmpany of this city. The petitioning papers were filed with the clerk of the district court to day and in which the Gavitt company sues to recover $11,000 damages from the Dibble company. It is set. up in the papers that for a number of years back the Gavitt com pany has accumulated a list of some ten thousand names of persons In dif ferent parts of the county who have become interested in the medicines man ufactured by the company and that this list ha3 a value to the company of $30,-000.- Access to this list of names has been possible during the past four and one half years to Dora Kerle, who has been in the employ of -the company until re cently. It is charged in the petition that the Dibble Mercantile company, a corporation formed six months ago and also interested in the manufacture of medicines, wrongfully and fraudulently and for a-consideration induced Dora Kerle to supply it with a copy of the list of names in the possession of the Gavitt company. The petition states further that for about four months Dora Kerle "went to the office of. the Gavitt company on each evening and copied off in that time about four thousand names from the Gavitt list which she delivered to the Dibble company. It is stated that Dora Kerle then left the employ of the Gavitt company for that of the Dibble company in consideration, among other things, of some shares of stock in the new concern. The claim is made that the use of the list furnished by Dora Kerle to the Dib ble company has damaged the Gavitt business to the extent of $10,000 and damages are asked to the amount of $11,000. Quinton Quinton, attorneys for the Gavitts, secured a temporary order from Judge Dana this morning restraining the Dibble company from using the list of names in its possession which the Gavitts claim to be their property.pend Ing the conclusion of the action brought today. This order is returnable on April 27. when Judge Dana will hear arguments as to whether or not it should be made permanent. Bank Closes Its Doors. Seymour, la., April 20.
