"Will Not Ran After Sixteenth of Jane. GO OYER THE CUT-OFF Local to Tate Its Place Will Miss Main Line. Colorado Train Eastbound to Ran Through Topeka. '"Train Xo. 115. which is now known 3 the Fast Mai! train, wiil cease to run as a fast mail train when the new time cari goes into effect June IS." This statement was made to a Stat. Journal reporter this morning by W. J. Black, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe. who is here attending the meeting of the time card. "This train, however, will have to be maintained. as the same tram returning east. No. US. is a good Fay ing tram an i does a heavy local pas senger business. However, it will be run on in entirely different schedule. We would like to continue to run the train as a fast mail train, as it is good train for the morning newspa pers and it gives us one of the best mail contracts in the country. But the subsidv appropriated by the gov ernment for this trains runs out June 30. and after that time it would prove a losing venture for the road. If we could keep it on the same schedule without the government subsidy we would do it. but we can not. The train runs at an hour too early for passenger traffic and there is no reason that wuuli make it advisable to main tain the train as at present. 'Under the new time card the tram tvill be transferred to the cutoff and. run as a momir.g local train. Lnder the present train schedule No. llo; runs from Kansas City to Newton: about an hour behind No. IT, which is a verv heavy local train. No. It does all "the passenger business over; the main line and there is no business left for 115. Hence the reason for; transferring No. 115 to the cutoff. "Under the new time card No. 17. which now leaves the union depot at l"-30 p. m.. will leave Kansas City about an hour earlier than under the present schedule and will reach New ton a little earlier than at present. j.ne time between Kansas City and Newton will be lengthened somewhat, as 1 is a very heiw train, and needs more time. No. 115 will be run out of Kan as Citv early enough so that it will reach Newton over the cutoff at about the same time IT does. Th's wi.1 probably be about 1 o'clock in tne mominj). "Train No. IT will leave Newton a few minutes earlier than at the pres ent time and will make a good morn ing train from Newton south over the Oklahoma and Texas lines. No. lla will be held in Newton until about I o'clock when it will run south. By this means the southbound passengers; from the west who come in on Nos. and 6 will be able to continue soutn with but little delav while under the Present time card they have to wait' !n Newton for No. 405 which leaves, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. "With No. IT leaving Newton in the morning. 113 at noon and No 40a -n the evening we will have an ideal ser vice outh through Oklahoma and Texas with three trains a day running at intervals of from six to seven hours apar'. Returning we will have the, am service with No. 40i In the morning. No. 115 in the afernoon and. No 1 in the eveninsr. We will aiso be able to pick no passengers from the; connections at Fort Worth and Milano j with almost no delay. I We regret very much that we will j have to discontinue the fast mail train, but with us it is purely a bust- r.ess preposition and we have to do it j We are doing it without the least ill fueling towards those whom it will v-.iirt in a business way and are doing it with our own interests at heart. j "The new t:me card will go into ef- j feet June 16th. Ordinarily the time card goes into effect early in June but j in order to avoid changing at the usual i time and making another change; when the fat mail appropriation ex- I pires we will split the difference and J put the r.ew card into effect June IS. We can do this with the fast mail i train by simply waiving claim to the j balance" of the appropriation for this train which would be more advisable than making two changes in the time j .-i Mr. F.iack also told of several other changes which will have to be made in the new schedule. The faster trains on the system will have to have longer schedules in order to facilitate a more general movement of freight traffic. This change will, however, affect cniy the faster trains. No. 3 will run through Tcpeka about thirty minutes liter than under the present schedule. No. 9 which is also one of the fast trains will be run on a longer sched ule. However, the other trains will be run on the same time as at present. One of the big changes w hich will j be made will be the transferring or train No. 1' which is now a local train over the cutoff to the main line through Topeka. where it will run as a through passenger train from Den ver to Kansas City and Chicago. This train will run through Topeka about 5:30 in the morning and will give To peka an early morning train to Kan sas City. Another important change which w ill be made will be in the schedule of train No. 4. the Chicago Limited. This train now reaches Topeka at 4:"0 a. m. Under the new time card this- train will run through Topeka in the even ing arriving at Topeka at 8:45 and reaching Kansas City a few minutes behind No. 116. the evening local to Kansas City. This train will reach Chicago at 11:59 a. m. next morning. It is not likely that any of the other trains will be changed materially al though there may be a small change of a few minutes in one or two cases. "We have not yet abandoned 'he Idea of transferring several of our trains from the main line to the cut off." said Mr. Black, "but we are un sbie to make any changes at this time, and although we have had the matter under consideration for some time we have not thought it advisable to make the change now. Such a change, how ever, may come later at the next time card meeting in October." TUESDAY EVENING. NEW DISEASE APPEARS. It Victims Lose Their Voice and the Ability to Swallow. London. May 28. A new bacillus, ac cording to Prof. Delepine. of Victoria university. Manchester, is responsible for an epidemic which has appeared at Prestwich. a suburb of Manchester. Those attacked have a swelling of the throat, leading to loss cf voice, inability to swallow, fever and weakness. It was at first thought that the dis ease was diphtheretic, but the professor, afttr investigation, says that the bacillus of diphtheria is absent and that the disease seems to be caused by a minute giobular bacillus which is new and distinct. NOT ENOUGH POLICE. Explanation of Attack on Japanese Residents of Sin Francisco. Washington. May 23. At the cabi net meeting today Attorney General Bonaparte laid before the president and Secretary Root th-2 report of Dis trict Attorney Devlin of San Francisco on the alleged assault on Japanese residents of that city. The report, Mr. Ronanarte stiys, shows that the first sto-ies of the alleged assault were ex-iggerated and that the difH rtt'.tv appeared to be a lack of police protection on account of the strike Secretary Root took the report with him and if an;- further action is taken it will bo ty the state department. V. S. Marshal Investigates. .m Francisco. Cal.. May 28. United State3 Marshal Elliott spent a great part of the day interviewing the proprietors and employes of the Jap anese restaurant at 12 23 Folsom street which was wrecked by hood lums last week, the incident forming the basis of a complaint to Washing ton by the Japanese minister. United States Attorney Devlin says when the testimony is complete the report will be forwarded to Washington and that no action will be taken by the local officers until further instructions frm the statt. department are re ceived. RECEIVER SUES. To Recover S4S7.455.60 Loaned by a Defunct Bank. Pittsburg, Pa., May 28. The civil suits brought by Receiver Thomas Rinaker for the recovery of $43T. 455.60. which is alleged to have been loaned on notes of the Pennsylvania Development company by the defunct Enterprise National bank, will be reached in the United States circuit court before the end of the week. Charles Lee Clark, who committed suicide while treasurer of the bank, waa also treasurer of the Pennsylvania company, and the suits will be strong ly contested on the ground that the notes referred to were never discount ed in the bank but were merely held by Clark as treasurer, and for this rea son were found in the bank when closed by the comptroller of the cur rency. Four suits to recover these alleged loans are coming up for trial. IT BOBS UP AGAIN. Charge That Indians Eeed Babies to a Snake. EI Paso. Tex.. May 2S. In spite of the fact that a similar charge was in vestigated and dismissed by a grand Jury sometime ago, another complaint has been filed with United States Dis trict Attorney Llewellyn of New Mexi co, that a tribe of Indians in that territory are given to the worship of an enormous serpent to which is fed the new born babes of a puebla in which it is housed and carefully tended and guarded. The complaint was filed by a Catholic priest. rqthsWld1sblue. lie Sees No Prospect of Improvement i in Stock Market. j London. May 2S. In an interview this afternoon Lord Rothschild said h? could see r.c immediate prcspect of im provement in the stock markets. He added The best that can be said U that the markets are no wore today. Per haps they are slightly better. But with President Rocsevelt attacking the rail ways in one part of the world, the in come tax question and other problems in France, and the socialist movement in England, the people are killing the goose that laid the golden eggs and we can expect nothing more than what the market positions reveal." FROM MISS BOOTH. Expression of Sorrow by Head of the Salvation Anny. Canton. O.. May 28. "My tenderest sympathy in the transition of your be loved sister. Tour consolation will be the comforting of her iong sorrow in everlasting reunion. Commander Evan geline Booth."

SAVE OURJ.IGHTS Hen "Who Know Don't Want City Plant Discarded. Herbert Hacfcney Says That It Would Be Bad Business. COFRAN GIVES FACTS. Original Plant Cost the City But $.5,000. Should Be Put in Repair and Kept That Way. The lighting plant question is one on which nearly every one has opinions but not all ara in a place where they can speak with authority. The opinion of men who are engaged in a similar business i3 of greater value than the guess of inexperienced persons in re gard to a matter they do not understand. Mr. Herbert Hackney, the president of the Topeka Milling company, says: "I am in favor of municipal ownership if the plant is run on a business basis such as the waterworks is. There is no rea son why the city cannot do better fur nishing its own lights than it can by renting them of a company if the city will just run its light plant as a private business man would and take it entirely out of politics. The city has a good superintendent in charge of the plant and if they would give him a chance and not keep hampering him with poli- i tics the light plant would be a success. The talk about the present plant being all junk is nonsense. There are five milling concerns in Topeka and every one of them uses the same make of en gine that the city has in its plant. The CorIis3 is known everywhere as the best and most economical engine. The facts of the matter are that the present plant is in need of repair and could be fixed up and would be if owned by a private com pany, into a good plant; while if they undertake to sell the plant and machin ery it will only bring the price of Junk. "If the city lets the contract to a com pany there is nothing then to keep the price where it is. As soon as the munic ipal plant is out of the way then there will be many ways of increasing the cost or decreasing the value of the lights. The same fellows put up exactly the same kind of talk about the city owning the waterworks and yet no one would think of suggesting that the city sell i out the plant and buy its water of some corporation. No man in business for himself would sell his plant and go to buying of another company when he has a plant in such shape that it can be fix ed into (food shape." j Ex-Mayor Cofisan Speaks Vp. Ex-mayor R. L. Cofran, proprietor of the Western Foundry works is a man whose opinion is very valuable in i the matter for two reasons; first be cause Mr. Cofran was mayor of Tope ka when the present plant was put in to operation and he is thererore wen acquainted with the early history of the plant; and second because Mr. Cofran Is ergaged in a business which uses machinery similar in most re spects to that in use by the city. When asked his opinion concerning the light ing question, Mr. Cofran said: "Why there is only one thing to do and that is to get the plant into good shape and let the city keep on furnish ing its own lights. A business man vuld never think of throwing away as good a plant as the city has to start with but he would fix it up with good modern machinery and put it into first class shape. Just because the plant had naturally run down he would not sell out and go to buying of some other company. Why suppose Mr. MacLennan should allow his printing establishment to run down. Would he say that because his plant was run down he guessed he would not fix it up. but would go over to the Capital and have the paper printed?! Certainly not. He would put his own plant into good working condition and go on doing his own work. "The city can do the work and fur nish the lights just as cheap as the! Edison company can. No company is in business for a philanthropic pur- j pose. The figure that the company; offers lights to the city for counts in j the cost of the lights and then inter- 1 est and profit. Now the city can save j the difference between the cost of the j lights and the price that the company! i asks for them. I j "Mr. Freeman has given estimates j J of the cost of repairing the plant and i i putting it into good shape and this j jean be done for about $45,000 and! 'then the lights will cost the city., counting interest and depreciation, about $52 a light pe- year. T.he con-! tract with the Edison people wonld j cost 12T.300 a vear or in two year3 we would have paid out enough to have reoaired our plant and at the end of that time, under the contract. I nr wnuld have absolutely nothing to show for it while if we put the money j into our own piant me munej "--m lights would cost us for the first two vears under tne contract woum pa for the plant and we would be getting lights cheaper than the offer of the companv. "The talk about the lights costing the city so much is nonsense. While I was mayor. I instituted the plan of having a report made each morning of the cost of running the plant the preceding night. I have these figures yet. The plant cost the city 133. 44T.98. It has given good service and can be fixed no to give good service asrain. The attempt to give the con tract to a company and give away th citv's plant is the plan of a schemer, who has almost always succeeded in his schemes. "There is only one thing to do and that is the plain business way that any business man would take: Fix the plant up and let the city furnish its own lights. "Moreover the city could pay the expenses of operating its plant. If the piant was run during the day to fur nish eir-ctricity to the plants near it here where It could reach them easily the commercial work thus done would easily pay the expenses of the plant. The city has no use for the plant except at night for its own use and it might just as well be run dur ing the day to pay for itself." Gov- Uttk? shows Improvement. Ft. Smith, Ark.. May 2S. Reports received here this morning from his home at Gremwood stated that the condition of John F. Little was consid ered slightly improved. TOPEKA. KANSAS, -JIAY NO END T0 GRAFT Another Case Brought to Light in Schauta Case. While a Talesmaa "Was Being Examined by Heney. WAS HELD UP FO R 400 When He Tried to Proseeute a Claim Against City. Tried to Tell Mayor About But Couldn't Find Him. It San Francisco, May 28. Of the 50 veniremen summoned Into court for the completion of the Schmttz Jury today eight jurors already having been sworn 10 try tne case 41 answered the clerk s ioll call, nine were absent, 25 offered excuses to the court and were allowed to depart, leaving 16 among whom to select four jurors to complete the paneL Peter J. Winnegar. Eugene Cassiery, J. G. Blanchard and L S. Bachman were called to the box for examination as to their fitness to serve. Winnegar, a retail liquor merchant, said he knew the mayor very well and that his relations with him were very pleasant. He doubted that he could be an impartial juror. He was excused on a challenge by the prosecution. An exciting incident that led to a threat by Judge Dunne to send Attor ney John J. Barrett of the defense to Jail for contempt occurred during the examination by Assistant District At torney Heney. of Talesrnan J. R. Blanchard, a street contractor. "Did you ever pay a $400 commission for the collection of one of your claims against the city after it had been held up by the board of public work?" de manded Heney. "Well, not recently," said Blanchard. "How long ago?' "Well. I paid it to Maestretti." "Oh. you did and when?" "Well,-it was about a year and a half ago Just after the fire." (Frank Maestretti was at that time president of the board of public works. He was later removed by the mayor). "And did you?" demanded Heney, "go to the mayor and complain of this hold up?" "I tried to see him." replied Blanch ard. "I went to his office half a dozen times, but I never could find him. Maertretti was the only man that ever held me up." "Did you make any effort. Mr. Blanchard to lay this matter before the grand Jury and have Maestretti pun ished for his crime?" pursued Heney; Attorney Barrett then sprang to his feet. "We object to that question." he cried, "Maestretti is a member of this prosecution and Heney jumped to his feet, his face red with anjer. "That's false. Mr. Barrett," he shouted, "and you know H." "It's not false, and when you say it is you are falsifying." retorted Barrett hotly. "Mr. Barrett." said Judge Dunne, "if you interrupt counsel again like that I will send ycju to jail." Barrett started to protest that he had a ri-ht to be heard with his client's interest, but Judge Dunne cut him short with a curt order to be seat ed. Then Judge Dunne turned to Mr. Campbell and said: "Mr. Campbell, if you are going to conduct thi3 case. I want you to do it alone. This court will not suffer any further interference by associate coun sel. I make the same ruling with re gard to the prosecution. One attorney must speak for each side. Former Judge Fairall of the defense resented the court's remarks, demand ing to know whether any imputation was meant against himself. Judge Dunne replied: "I had made a ruling, Mr. Fairall." Then I excent to tne remarics oi the court as oemg imyiui"?1 r rejoined. CHILDREN IN TROOPS. Gather About McKinley Home for Last Look at Their Friend. Canton. O.. May 2.8. Long before the hour set for admitting to the McKinley home those who might desire to take a farewell view of the face of Mrs. Mc Kinley there had gathered in front of the famous Market street cottage a crowd of people. From the public schools came children in troops who. with blanched faces and hurried whis pers, awaited their turn for admission. Neighboring cities and viliages and the surrounding country contributed to the list of those who passed through the McKinley residence. Inspector Sutton today made plans with the chief of police for the proper protection of the president and other distinguished visitors and went over the route which the funeral cortege wiil take from the McKinley home to West lawn cemetery. (1LIXGK IX THE WEATHER. There May Be Shower Following tlie Cold Weather. The unsettled weather conditions which have prevailed for the past week and have proven to p a scram bled variety of sunshine, clouds, frost or freezing weather continues though there is no likelihood of more frost or freezing temperatures. There is a strong probability cf showers all over the state tonight and tomorrow with a rilng temperature in western Kansas tonight and in the eastern portion Wednesday. There has not been much sunshine today and a little more warmth in the atmosphere would have added to the comfort of the average citizen. The wind which is blowing from the south at the rae of 20 miles an hour is not of the "hot wind" variety.

STAND BY GUNS, State Refuses to Compromise With Brewers! Proposition to Adjust Injunc tion Suit Eejected. POLLOCK WILL WAIT. Federal Judge Takes Question Under Advisement. Will Prepare a Written Opinion on Merits. Propositions for a compromise of the brewery injunction suit in the federal court were rejected Monday afternoon by the attorneys for the state, and the attorneys announced that they would insist upon a decision of the points at issue one way or the other. "If we are beaten," said one of the state's attorneys, "we will take this matter to the United States court of appeals without a moment's delay." The attorneys for the state consider that the decision in this Injunction case is of vital importance. "If an injunction is allowed in this case," said one of the attorneys, "we will have to stop trying to enforce the laws prohibiting the operation of joints on wheels in Kansas City, Kan. We wiil be afraid to arrest the drivers of teer wagons for fear they may be haul ing some interstate orders, and may try to get us into trouble for contempt of the federal court. We will fight this case to the last ditch." Judge Pollock did not decide whether the injunction should be allowed, but indicated strongly that he would allow it against X. V. Reicheneker. the agent of the brewery receivers, and possibly sgainst C. W. Trickett, assistant attor ney general, and J. E. Porter, sheriff of Wyandotte county. "Tou people are not very far apart, said Judge Pollock to the attorneys, at t fathapiv rnlic when ill the speeches had been made. it it appeals to the solicitors. I would like to allow this restraining order to stana in Its present form until we can see whether the assurances given today that the state officers have no desire to interfere with interstate commerce are in good faith." "There are special reasons why this injunction should not be allowed." said W. S. Keplinger, one of the attorneys for Trickett and other Kansas City offi cers who are under restraining order. "It is exceedingly difficult to enforce the law down there. The enemies of the law take encouragement from a very small matter. If this injunction is al lowed, even against one of the defend ants it will be talked up and down the town, and the word will go out that the bars have been let down and the law can be violated. It is proper for th? court to take these matters into consid eration. -We do not feel that we should con sent to a continuance of this restraining order. We want a decision on the merit3 of the case." Judge Pollock then stated that he would prepare a written opinion in the case, after reading the evidence which had been submitted. This opinion will probably be prepared the latter part of the week. The attorneys for the breweries ob tained permission to file with the court j i -r -i rt ra-cnr Onrmell of Kan- Lilt? v. .r sas City, concerning certain negotiations which C. W TncKett nan un about the seizure of beer wagons. This affidavit must be filed within three days. "If this is done." said C. W. Trickett. "we will ask for opportunity to file counter affidavits." It Is understood that N. V. Reich eneker. the agent of the brewery receiv ers who seems to have been the one who Is getting the credit for molestation with the interstate commerce in beer, .;-i,r r.lwH with the turn in IH litL CULUtij I events One of hi3 friends said today: "As a matter of fact, Reicheneker is being made the scapegoat of this affair. He was instructed by the receivers to do exactly what he did, and then the receivers got cold feet, and failed to back him up in his actions." Who Was He Ilittina At? Judge Pollock, at various points in the hearing yesterday, took occasion to land hard on lawyers who "try this case out side of court, and give interviews to the newspapers." It is supposed that Judge Pollock was pointing at C. W. Trickett. who had an interview in ono of the Kansas City papers about the time Judge Pollock allowed the tempor ary restraining order. Mr. Trickett said yesterday: "It is true that I had an interview in a Kan sas City paper, but the paper did not print ah that I said. I said that there was no doubt that the federal judge has the right to grant this restraining order, and that he was acting fully within his rights. This part was left out. and it made the rest of my state ment seem, perhaps, like a criticism of the action of the court. But I don't know whether Judge Pollock was hit ting at me or not in his remarks dur ing the hearing." Judge Pollock, in closing the case, said: "No state officer has any right to in terfere with interstate commerce. The framers cf the constitution thought it best to place the control of interstate commerce in the hands of congress on account of some states passing exclu sion acts which would be detrimental to the people of other states. In Mis souri the manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors is a legitimate busi ness, while In Kansas it is not. except under certain conditions. "One may go into Missouri and buy liquors and have them sent to his home in Kansas. From the time the sale is made until the goods are finally deliv ered at the purchaser's home the goods are a part of interstate commerce and not subject to state control. As soon as the goods are delivered then the federal control ceases and the state control bezins and some restrictions may be placed as to what the purchas er should do with his goods. -Then a sain comes the question of personal liberty, another principle of law found in our constitution and fully protected therein. Just how far a state may go is a question. The brew ery no doubt has a full right to accept an order for Iinuors in Missouri and send it over into K.insas for delivery. I think there is no doubt but that it is prooer that the money may be collect ed when the package Is delivered. In this case it seems to me that the only ouestion to be decided Is whether this TUESDAY EVENING. interstate commerce is to be interfered with. A restraining order preventing interference with interstate commerce will not change the status of the state law and the companies may be prose cuted or their men just the same as if the order were not granted." THE BREWERIES LOSE. Supreme Conrt Refuses to Set Aside Service. The Supreme court this morning overruled the morions to set aside the service of summons in the following brewery cases; Schlita Brewing company. Pabst Brewing company. Val Blatz Brewing company. Heim Brewing company. The motion to set aside the sum mons was sustained in the cases of the Imperial and Rochester breweries and the Heim real estate company. In the case of the Imperial and the Heim Real Estate company, the state con fessed judgment, and admitted that the service was defective, as it was made on A. L. Berger, who was re puted to be the attorney for the com panies. The Rochester service was held to be defective because the summons was issued for Ed Anderson of Topeka, and the officers, failing to locate Ander son, served the papers on C. W. Curtis. Attorney General Jackson stated this morning after the court had given its decision, that the quashing of the summons would not interfere with the prosecution of the case. He said: "The receivers will continue to hold the property of these companies, and we will at once proceed to get ser vice on these companies by publica tion. I suppose that the three con cerns think we will be unable to se cure service on them under the pres ent conditions, but we think we can." The attorneys for all of the compan ies except Val Blatz are Harkless. Crysler Histed of Kansas City, and James H. Harkless was present in the supreme court this morning. Val Blatz was represented by F. B. Dawes of the firm of Dawes Rutherford of Leavenworth. Attorney General F. S. Jackson ap peared on behalf of the state. A large number of affidavits were presented by the attorneys for the brewers which consisted mainly of resignations of brewery agents upon whom service had been made. These agents quit their jobs as soon as they heard of the proceedings against the brewery com panies, and before the papers had been received for service. The state objected to all of the af fidavits presented by Mr. Harkless on the ground that they were not prop erly verified according to Kansas statutes. The court, however, con sented to receive the affidavits. Then Mr. Jackson Introduced the deposition of E. W. Ellis, who repre sents the Associated Press In Topeka. Mr. Ellis deposition was to the effect that he had sent out the news of the suits being filed against the brewery companies on the afternoon of May 11 and that it had been received by the afternoon dailies of the state In time for publication that afternoon. A copy of the Topeka State Journal contain ing the information of the filing of the suits was also presented In evidence, to show that the news was given to the public generally on the same day that the agents for the brewery com panies resigned. The case was argued at some length by both sides, and the Justices of the court soon afterwards rendered their decision as above stated. NOT ENOUGH MONEY. Xavy Department Forced to Abandon Hans for a Mine Ship. Washington-, May 2S. The navy de partment has been obliged to aban don Its plan to transform the cruiser San Francisco into a mine ship be cause the change will involve the ex penditure of more than $200,000 and consequently would require a con gressional appropriation. The San Francisco is now at Norfolk, where the work was to have been under taken. The plan was to equip this ship with a plant capable of handling rapidly and with reasonable safety what are known as floating and sub merged mines, such as were used with great effect during the Russo-Japanese war. A properly equipped mine ship can place these elements of coast defense in any ordinary harbor in suf ficient numbers to insure protection in a course of a day or two, whereas many days and even weeks would be consumed by an ordinary vessel in the accomplishment of the same amount of work. The conversion of the cruiser Bal timore, now at New Tork. into a min ing ship Is also temporarily suspended for similar reasons. KILLED HER MOTHER.

Joplin at Leavenworth. Oklahoma City at Hutchinson. Wichita at Webb City. The Champs will come home Friday and open up with AVebb City. They will remain here but four days after which they leave for a long trip to Oklahoma City and Joplin. Friday will be the only ladies' day for some time. Allison never could pitch winning ball for Leavenworth but he got away good with the Champs Sunday and defeated La.wrence Milton, "The Pride of Webb City," in a pitchers' battle. Umpire Java Van Schure of Doc Shively's staff of indicator men is lay ing off for a few days on account cf the illness of a sister. Oklahoma Post: If present indica tions count for anything the home com ing of the Mets will be an enthusiastic affair. They have been making a win ning campaign and are playing in al most perfect form. Even if they should be so unfortunate as to lose some of the games to Hutchinson just before get ting home they will be well received for the good work they have been do ing. The local fans are getting pretty hungry for a ball gaine and there will be a splendid attendance at the game next Thursday afternoon. Captain Spec Hurlburt in an interview published in a Joplin paper says that the Topeka team will get to playing bet ter ball when they get home again and that the poor playing of the team is due to the long rides and bad water and oth er poor accommodations. 'Evidently T'mpire Ofuthrle is not very popular with the Springfield fans as is evidenced by the following clip pings from the Springfield papers. Here is the opinion of the Springfield Republican as to his ability: The Midgets played a fast and snappy game yesterday, and while they may not have wen from the leaders, yet the work of Outhrie was so unfair and vrr incompetent as to make it useless for them to try to win out. "Doc" The Handy Doctorin Your Vest Pocket HTS a thin, round-cornered little Enamel Box When carried in your vest pocket it means Health-Insurance. It contains Si Candy Tablets of pleasant taste, almost as pleasant as Chocolate. Each tablet is a working dose of Cas carets, which acts like Exercise on the Bowels and Liver. It will not purge, sicken, nor upset tha Stomach. Because it is not a "Bile-driver," like Salts, Sodium, Calomel, Jalap, Senna, nor Aperient Waters. Neither is it like Castor Oil, Glycerine, or other Oily Laxatives that simply lubricate Ihe Intestines for transit of the food stopped up in them at that particular time. The chief cause of Constipation and Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles that contract the Intestines and Bowels. Cascarets are practically to the Bowel Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath are to the Athletic Muscles. They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to Contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges tive Juices out of food eaten. They don't help the Bowels and Liver in such a way as to make them lean upon similar assistance for the future. This is why, with Cascarets, the dose may be lessened each succeeding time instead of increased, as it must be with all other Cathartics and Laxatives. Cascarets act like exercise. If carried in your vest pocket, (or carried hi My Lady's Purse,) and eaten just when you suspect you need one, you will never know a sick day from the ordinary Ills of life. Because these Ills begin in the Bowels, and pave the way for all other diseases. "Vest Pocket" box 10 cents.

""TrT'f Shively might as well be given to un derstand, right now and here, that the fans of Springfield are not going to stand for such deals as were handed them yesterday by a wholly incompe tent, incapable and intellectually In capacitated indicator handler as this diamond lightweight, Guthrie, has proved himself to be. This, however, is very mild when compared with the adverse criticism of the Springfield Leader: As for Guth rie, who purported to do the umpiring stunt, the least said the better. Many of the readers of the Leader are ladies and that is sufficient cause for refrain ing from giving expression adequately to his performance. Then the United States government has seen fit to pro hibit the transmittal, through the mails, if certain language. Without this proscribed languageit would be absolutely impossible to express, in English the absolute rottenness of his work. He had about as much idea of baseball as a cross-eyed, half-witted hill county chicken has about a dance in the ball rooms of the Waldorf As toria. Some of his decisions were about as rank as a city, boy after a half hour's wrestle with ona of those pretty kittens, famous for' its far-s reaching perfume.v In some manner We has acquired a sort of "Chimmy do tough" walk that .would' set ail the. hearts aflutter in a dance along the levee. Looking tough was his stock in trade evidently for no one could ac cuse him of being an -umpire. Any remark, tending to show Guthrie knew anything about a ball game, would be good and sufficient grounds for a libel suit. On two or three occasions it looked like the big crowd in the grand stand would go out onto the field and hold a short interview with the al leged umps but they contented them selves with hurling cushions at him and making rather disparaging re marks about his ability to operate. The White Sox open up with Spring field this afternoon. Topeka always had better luck with the Midgets on the grounds of the latter than upon the home grounds. Two out of three from the Midgets would not be so bad. As was reported exclusively In the State Journal last Saturday night, Dick Cooley has come to the "relief of the Topeka White Sox and has released to the local club a pitcher from the Louisville ter.m. As was expected it is Jack Bunton, who will join the To peka team. Bunton is -well known in this circuit as he pitched for Sedalia the first year Topeka had a team in this league. He was a good pitcher then and is still a good one. although Cooley thinks he needs a little more seasoning in the smaller leagues. He will fit into the present twirling staff of the locals in fine shape. Old Bill Kemmcr. who was with St. Joe in the league a year ago, is now playing with the Mobile team in the Cotton States league and is getting rich. In a recent game played in Mo bile last week Bill came to bat in the ninth with three runs needed to tie the score and two men down. He se cured a triple with the bases full and the f:ms in the grand stand coughed up $28.80 for the old timer. He won the game in the twelfth with a single. Red Davis seems to be hitting the ball in great shape. A single and a home run was what he secured yester day. If he keeps up this gait very much longer he will be nestling at the top of the batting column when the season is over. j Umpire MacKenzie, who was given his bumps in this association last fall, has met a similar fate this year. He was an umpire in the Cotton States league until last week when he was unconditionally released because of his inefficient work. If the locals only take one game from Springfield they will have more than broken even on the trip, which has been a Ions- one. This is not a bad record, especially when the team has been having the bad luck that the White Cox have. When the team gets home Friday. Mclnnis and Abbott w-ill be ready to take their places on the team and an upward march to the top of the percentage column ought to follow. Old George Felix Blackburn, at one time captain of the White Sox, is tak ing a turn in the box with the Vicks burg team of the Cotton States league. Old George is pitching winning ball, too, and occasionally puts the ball over the fence as of yore. In a recent game he was touched up for thirteen hits but won his game, as his oppo nents were unable to get more than one man over the plate. Winfield 5, Fairmount 4. Winfield, Kan., May 28.

SHOWS AIR OF THRIFT. First National Bank Has a De posit Account of $150,000. Prospects for an Alfalfa Meal Plant Are First Class. Kirwin. Kan.. May 2S. Major E. W. Warner, who came here in 18T2, and killed buffalos in Phillips county, says there has been more improvements id Kirwin in the last two years than in a dozen years prior to 1906. For years the town was ahead of the country, and now the country is taking a turn and trying to keep pace with the growth of the town in settlement and development. Major and Mrs. War ner have lived here from the first, built the well known Warner hotel, its location" being one of the pleasant est in all northwest Kansas. And under Us roof nearly every politician seeking office in the state has eaten and slept for more than thirty years. He saw the coming and removal of the United States land office, and he witnessed the completion of the rail road to Kirwin and its further exten sion west. Both these events gave Kirwin a black eye. Now she has happily outgrown it. and there are today in construction about eight resi dences at a cost of SS00 to $3,500 each. Besides. H. A. and William Gudger are erecting a business block 75 feet frontage and SO feet deep. The opera house having changed hands, is now owned by J. J. Landis, C. K. Smith. Art Stagg and S. E. Cogs well. he new owners are making n:any substantial improvements, in cluding the addition of electric light ing and heating plants, and reseating and new scenery. Eugene John, who came here in 187S is the oldest merchant in con tinuous business. He is the pioneer harness dealer west of Beloit. and has made so great a success as to add hardware and wagons and vehicles. During the year he will occupy new and commodious Quarters of his own. Among the business men of the town is H. A. Royce, real estate and farm loans and broker in farm and city property. If you do business with him you can transact all business here In your home town, and not be crowd ed by a foreign company. The First National bank shops over $150,000 in deposits. The manage ment of this bank has been so fair that a second one has been unneces sary. There is an air of thrift all over Kirwin. It is a new town, so to speak. There isn't the two dozen land office signs, but there are enterprising merchants instead. The Kirwin today Isn't what she used to be. it is healthy and good looking, and good enough for anybody. See Kirwin if you are looking for a location, and then look around and see if you can better your self if you are not satisfied here. Here are fine- schools and churches, two good printing offices, and good pros pects for buiidin an alfalfa meal plant. It has a splendid flour mill, a good telephone exchange, mammoth furniture stores and lumber yard, and as prosperous and ur to date stores as one will see anywhere. The town has a fine trade from the east, south and west. And if farm appear ances count every farmer has a bank sccount. Trickett. assistant attorney general for Wyandotte county, brought injunc tion proceedings in the common pleas court yesterday against the Argentine Eagle's lodge, which was raided early Sunday morning.

Garden City, May 28. Tramps and beggars are gathering in Garden City in larger numbers than earlier in the spring. The word seems to have pass ed down the line that no opposition is to be found here and more penniless pilgrims were in town the past week than ever before. Marshal Hopper is now doing both night and day duty, and in conse quence is obliged to go home at 1:30 o'clock, leaving the town without po lice help between that time and day light. The hoboes know to the minute when he is off duty, and gather at the Santa Fe depot promptly. Several nights this week they have been so quarrelsome that the night man at the depot has been compelled to take a poker and run them all out. Hardly a night passes which does not see from fifteen to twenty-five tramps in or around the depot. The sentiment is growing in favor of a town stone pile at which the visiting hoboes could be entertained and oth ers warned away. GOOD CROPS IX FORD. reach 'Topeka tonight.

Xewton Man Rescues His Young Son From, a WeU. The three-year old son of A. F. Reed, a Santa Fe conductor living at the corner of West Third and Elm streets, had a narrow escape from drowning yesterday afternoon. The little fellow was playing in the yard when the .accident happened. The father heard his cries and hastened to the well. He could see the boy in the water below, his little face turned up ward, the rest of the body being sub merged. He did not hesitate an instant but quicklv descended into the well, the rocks on the sides of the well fur nishing footing for him. Arriving at the water, he seized the child and roll ing it upon his kr.ee. quickly revived It. Neighbors had. in the meantime, learn ed of the accident and they assisted in bringing the father and his son to the surface. By he time a physician ar rived, the boy was as bright and ac tive as ever, having apparently suffer ed no bad effects from his fall. There was thirteen feet of water in the well, and the escape of the child from drowning seems little short of miraculous-. Newton Republican. TO REBUILD THE FOUXDRY. Xcw Eagle Plant at Fort Scott Will Cost $60,000. Fort Scott. May 28.- It has been of ficially stated that the Eagle Foundry would" rebuild on the site of the build ing burned a few evenings ago; that the proposed building would be of brick and that the plant when com pleted would cost $60,000. Within the next ten days the factory, though without a home, will be making castings, and within sixty days the new building will be completed and ready for occupancy. When the fire occurred there were 42 men at work at the plant and the force was to have been brought up to 75 by September 1st. if not before. The new building will be much larger than the former one. its dimensions, to be 60x200 feet. It will be as near fire proof as it can be made, and within a vear or two the force of men working there will likely reach 15 or 20. -A BOY BURXED TO DEATH. An Eagle's Lodge Restrained. Kansas City.

One or two small rains at the proper time now will put Ford county at the head of the list of Kansas wheat counties. Wheat conditions have been so good here, so much better than In the majority of places that this county has been given a very prominent place on the maps of the Kansas and Oklahoma millers. During the past month conditions seem to have been brought about with the express purpose of placing Ford county in the lead. Such a crop as has been promised would not oniy bring great j returns to the farmers or the county, but it would cause an increased rush for wheat lands in this section, and re sult in the opening of many new wheat farms. A little more rain now will make a bumper crop, and with the shortage in other sections wheat will doubtless be a good price. The two million mark ought to be reached easily this year, with the acre age sown and the present prospects. It is a well known fact that the condi tion of the wheat has been much bet ter here than ft has in the counties fur ther east. This is being remarked about by every one that has been over the country.. TRYIXG TO BURX THE TOWN". Second Mysterious Fire at Lebanon Within Tv.-o Weeks. Lebanon. Kan.. May 28.

State Railway Legislation Will Result in Complications. Confliction Is Certain With In terstate Commerce Law. PUBLIC 3IAY SUFFEB. There Will Be Lots of Confu slon in Operating Roads. Other Items of Interest Railway People. to COFFEE DELAYS DIGESTION P0STVM AIDS IT. There's Reason' State railroad legislation enacted the last winter is going to result in no end of complications, some of which bring prominently to the front the question of state rights and the pro blem of the relative powers of state and interstate authorities in the regu lation of railroad operation. Of course the railroads themselves will be the chief sufferers from the contusion that has been created in many cases, but how the- roads are to be operated under conflicting orders with any degree of convenience to the public has not yet become apparent. It Is pointed out that the enforcement of the state laws in many cases will strike at the fundamental principle of the interstate commerce act. which is that there shall be no discrimination between snippers of any class. Recognizing this principle, the com mission has ruled again and again that the roads may do almost anything they please provided they treat all individ uals and classes alike. But light here the state laws Interfere and make re quirements as to intrastate shipments which, if they had to apply to inter state traffic as well, would mean for them irretrievable ruin. All the roads can do under tUe circumstances is to discriminate between state and inter state shippers, and thus run counter to the fundamental principle of the inter state act. The Ohio state law. laying down rules to govern car sen-ice and de murrage, furnishes a case in point. The new rules are obnoxious to the roads in many particulars. Their en forcement, they claim, in connection with all their business, especially un der such conditions as obtained during the whole of last winter, would be simply ruinous to them. The railroad commission of Ohio has set about a rigorous enforcement of the new law. At a conference of the interested roads it has been decided to apply the rules on interstate business only, and apply the old rules on all interstate traffic, thereby creating a discrimina tion against interstate shippers. Other states have laws entirely dif ferent from those of Ohio, so that to attempt to apply them all to interstate traffic would necessarily be impossible. Conditions which exist emphasize the necessity of placing the direction of such matters In the hands of one cen tral authority. It is really impossible to have one set of rules -for state and another set for Interstate business without creating discrimination against somebody, and as nearly every road in the country is an interstate road, it Is urged that the interstate commission should have sole jurisdiction in all matters pertaining to rate regulation and the operating rules of the roads. CLEARING IIOLSE A SUCCESS. Is Doinj Much to Relieve the Car Shortage. Great success thus far has attended the career of the Chicago car clearing house, organized at the beginning of the vear in an attempt to relieve the car famine which at that time was at its worst. The clearing house has i Bt.i oni ennrpssf ull v man ucen nvj cni.v aged that it has won for itself the in dorsement or me imerEtaic commission. At the had of the clearing house, as its manager is Arthur Hale, who has managed its affairs so successfully as to earn the commendation of the Vmerican Railway association at its recent meeting. The clearing house has now a membership of thirty-one roads, and ninety roads report their car-service figures to it. These repre sent one-half of the car supplies of the entire country. Some small roads have remained out because they think that were they to become members they could not re tain the cars of their connections with such impunity as they do at present. The object of the clearing house is to get the largest possible amount of service out of the car supplies avail able, and this is done by seeing that neither shippers nor borrowing roads retain the cars for an undue length of time. Since the clearing house has been in operation the average deten tion of cars for the purposes named has beer, materially reduced, to the great benefit of all concerned. HCSTLIXG OX THE ORIEXT.

OK Personal Knowledge? Personal knowledge is' the winning factor in the culminating contests of this competitive aee and when cf ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of The Well Informed of the World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort. A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made. 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 family laxative. As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed ot the .world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of oenna as more hilly descriptive or the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package, whether you call for Syrup ot rigs by the full name byrup oi Figs and Elixir of Senna. name or tkMmM SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

T. Burnham. of Be loit, who accmpanied them on the trip. The project is endorsed and assurances given that the necessary amount of money will be forthcoming for the con struction of the road upon the making of surveys and securing of required franchises. This line will pass through one of the very best sections of Kansas and Nebraska and open up a country at present very poorly supplied with trans portation facilities.

I PLANTS 1,600 ACRES IX PUIS. Company Expects to Ship 250 Carloads via Santa lc. H. P. Anewalt. assistant general freight agent of the Santa Fe coast lines, after an extended trip through the San Joaquin valley, declares there is ev ery reason to believe that that part of the country will be favored with good crops, and adds: "The most interesting thing I noticed in my trip was the pea canning factory at Oakdale. The company there has 1.600 acres cf peas under cultivation and it expects to ship out 250 carloads of canned peas from that little town. Land which was formerly put to use for the cultivation of hay and grain is now planted to peas, and big money is being made by the planters. All that part of the country is prosperous and an in stance was quoted to me of what a man can do. A merchant of Oakdale put three acres of river bottom land into strawberries and made more than $1,600. He could not supply the demand of the Sierra Valley alone, so this year he planted seven acres more and is confi dent that he will be able to find a mai ket for every berry he picks." WORK MOVING OX X. K. S. Line Is Beine IiOe?.ted Between Stock ton and Gardon City. Stockton. May 28. F. T. Burnham. of Beloit reports work as progressing very satisfactorily on the Nebraska. Kansas Southern railway. The survey was commenced at Stockton on April 1. and will be completed to Garden City in a week or ten days. At that point the en gineers will retrace the line to Stockton for the purpose of making a location survey, and will be closely followed by right of way men. Upon reaching Stock ton the surveyors will continue north east to Superior. Neb., for the purpose of locating that part cf the line. It is hoped to commence the actual work of construction within the next three months, and that the road between Stockton and Garden City will be com pleted within eighteen months. People all along the line are enthusiastically supporting the project and doing every thing possibles hasten its construction. The road will be built in first class shape, the maximum grade being not to exesed 26 feet to the mile, and when completed the line will be the equal of any in the state. WOOD PRESERVING PLANT.

Let us keep on courageously at the work ot making the town better and it is bound to be bigger In due course of time." It is proposed to make the lower berths of a sleeping car cost twice as much as uppers. As a matter of fact, upper berths are more comfortable than lowers when you once get Into them. Their ventilation is better, for proper ventilation is a difficult matter to handle in a lower berth. The chief drawback about-the upper. berth is its would lease them. Opposed to ship subsidv and all forms of government bounty. That is a pretty fair sort of a plat form. Some of it was recommended in President Roosevelt's last message but not all. The president, for in stance, gave his mild approval to a form of ship subsidy, which Senator Stephenson opposes. Incidentally, this is the same plat form that W. R. Stubbs is now advo cating. In his recent speech before the Saturday Night club Mr. Stubbs enumerated certain planks that he thought should be Incorporated Into both the national and state Republi can platforms next year, and a. com parison shows that Mr. Stubbs" planks are exactly the same as those in the Stephenson platform except that con cerning ship subsidies. In fact, a "deadly parallel" shows such a decided similarity of language as to prove that the Kansas man has been borrowing. It is not at all likely that he claims to be the originator of the platform. Mr. Stubbs main tains a discreet silence on the subject of ship subsidies, however.

A real nice man is one who is as po lite to a girl of 57 as to a girl of 17. Every old timer will tell you there isn't much grace in the modern dance. Nearly everyone talks in the presence of a corpse as if they were afraid of waking it. More women are looking for opportun ity to elope from men than to elope with them. When the visiting team wins, about all the credit it gets is a reputation for being lucky. Then men quit tipping their hats to a woman it is a sign they "know" some thing on her. You can't help liking the woman who has a reputation of being a "good hand in case of sickness." Girls are at their most attractive ago before they have discovered any reason for crowding tha space before the mir ror. "She is smart." the women will say of a woman who has a clever brain, "but you ought to see the way she dresses." If you want to know how people speak of you behind your backs, listen to the reckless manner in which they pitch In to others. When a woman announces to her hus band that she wants to have a "plain talk with him," it means she wants him to confess. The tired-of-joj- look usually appears on the bridegroom's face first.

The legislature was reluctant; it was even hostile. It yielded. It is a pretty conspicuous tri umph for Governor Hughes. It would be reassuring If we could believe that his successors in the governorship would, in filling these high offices, al ways be actuated by motives as disin terested as his own. The amendment of the bill requiring the governor to file charges and give a hearing before removing commissioners serves at least as a pretty good defense against wholesale removals by executives who may wish to use the power of appoint ment as a reward or as an inducement for political service.

The tubers are separated into several pieces each, leaving one eye for each piece, and planted In a yard or field like potatoes except that tne planting mut be delayed until dan ger of frost is past. The tubers should be planted about rour inches deep and given a good watering immediately on planting. They grow best in very rich, heavy soil and should be planted two or three feet' apart. They should have plenty of light and air, but not be ex posed to the direct sun. They will not long endure hot and dry weather. AH but the strongest shoots should be re moved as they appear, and the plants should be tied to stakes four feet high, the tieing beginning when the plant is about a foot high. In the fall when frost-has killed the tops, take up the tubers and store them in a dry, cool room or cellar. It is a good plan to examine the tubers occasionally dur ing the winter to remove any decayed specimens.

Dr. Charimers Prentice, of Chicago, who is at the Waldorf-Astoria, said last night that he had, through his lawyer, Frank Brundage, of 82 Liberty street, begun suit against the North German Lloyd Steamship company for $250,000 damages because of the action of Capt. H. Morgenstern and the doctor of the steamship Koenigin Luise in burying over the. side Mrs. Prentice, who died at sea. Mrs. Prentice, with her daughter, was on the way from Italy to New York, the steamer having sailed from Genoa on April 18. On April 27 Mrs. Prentice, who, it was said, had been suffering from a serious affection, died in her berth. Her daughter insisted on having the body of her mother em balmed and conveyed to this port. Dr. H. Leber, the ship's physician, who, it was said, took counsel with the royal Italian commissioner, who looks after the comfort and safety of Immigrants, advised Capt. Morganstern that the body could not be kept on the ship. Against the most vigorous protests and pleadings of the weeping daugh ter, the body of Mrs. Prentice was dropped overboard the same day, a prayer being read as the ship was stop ped. Flags were lowered and only a few in the darkness stood around the open gangway when the weighted body was shoved overboard. New York World. Dainty Meal for a Python.

The elevator of the Washington monument reached the ground after its solemnly slow descent of twenty minutes, and Rhoda Jamison, feeling somewhat overawed by the world as seen from the top of the monument, sat down on a bench near the elevator lioor. she needed a few minutes to re adjust her tnoughta and to plan for tne rest oi the day. Khoda had saved every possible pen ny trom her salary during the acnool term in order to take this vVasnington trip, and had determined to crowd as much sightseeing into ner ten days as any other Washington tourist had ever done. She had spent hours with the visit ing milliner in her- town, planning ev ery detail of the time, and had hnally arrived in the city and taken a cab di rectly to tne quiet lodgings she had recommended, 'l'he milliner had, how ever forgotten to take into considera tion the fact that the girl had- never, been accustomed to a city and to city ways, and had therefore failed to pre pare her .for the feeling of desolation and loneliness that grew more and npore oppressive every minute.

Here she seemed to dwindle Into noth ingness, and the things that had been mere ideas and pictures towered over her oppressivelyt and she was over come by her littleness and. her loneli ness and longed for some one to speak to her. wito a hint of friendly interest.

The postal she liked beat of all a daintily colored view of the monument Itself, she addressed to her mother. Across it she wrote. "It's so verv blsr and I feel so little and so lonely." one leaned iorward to flirt a hit of dust from the tip of her pen, and a whiff of air blew thfe postal from her lap and left it lying at the big man s feet. He saw it there, and thinking he had dropped one of his own, stooped and V'l-n-iru ii up, reuuing it leisurely. "I feel so little and lonely." he read. and, surprised, turned to meet the flush ed face of the girl. "It's mine," she said, holding out her nana ior it. "Do you feel that way, too?" he ask ed, eagerly. "That's me. exactly!" "I shouldn't have called you really 'little,' she answered with the frank friendliness of a girl who had never met with a circumstance that would cause her to be suspicious of humanity. "I reckon you are referring to the first part of the sentence, "It is so big" would really seem more suitable." "That's right," he laughed, looking at the postal, "but that Just proves that I can hold' more loneliness than you, for I am feeling lonely from the soles of my feet to the top of my new felt hat. that I bought in Cai son City to see the sights of Washington in." "At least you are farther from home than I I'm from South Carolina," she chatted, three days' abstinence from conversation having left her with a surplus on hand.

The trustees of my school are rather a parsimonious lot." "I don't know much about eastern etiquette, but I wonder if it wouldn't be tolerably proper for us to do some sight-seeing together this afternoon?" he said with a touch of boyish shyness. "I wonder," she said slowly. The Joy of companionship settled the question for them, and he called at her boarding house morning after morning, guidebook in hand, the plan for the day already laid out.

Whiting Paint Glass Co 628 Kansas, Ave., Topeka. Distributers I THE I mrlMND tf ftif iTYl-P if North Topeka. May 2 8. 1907. To the-Editor of the State Journal: The chemical engineer employed by the city to supervise the paving of Kansas avenue !a3t fall, speaking in his report to the council in December of the importance of supervision, says that this is "especially true of asphalt pavement because of general lack of knowledge as to its proper constitu ents and the most approved methods of application." The bitumen of the Bermudez as phalt used in this work he reports as about 8 3 per cent carbon: and speaks; of the asphalt pavement as bituminous mortar, in which about 20 pounds of Texas crude oil were used to 100 pounds of asphalt 50 per cent of the Kaw river sand used, fine enough to pass through a 100 meshed screen to the inch, and the lime, used drv. hav ing passed through a 200 meshed screen. I have filed with the city engineer a sample of the bitumen of the Rollin refinery asphalt in which the carbon is reckoned at over 90 per cent. With its comoetitive manufacture at the i Kansas refineries at the present time. anrl with the mode of application rec ommended by the state authorities, a paving made directly- of the river bot tom sand of the street as the mineral filler, six inches thick, as good as the one mentioned on the avenue, can be put down on the upper blocks north of Gordon street, with a combination concrete curb and gutter, at one-third of the cost of this south side one, and more than half less the cost of brick. The city engineer tells me that the street railway company will move its track to the center of the street up there, in that way increasing the width to be paved by the lot owners on each side to 21 feet; thereby mak ing the cost per lot by brick, and a cheap vertical curb, over $100 a sum larger than the value of a half acre of the unplatted territory in the extreme upper end. With- such information at hand, taken largely from the public records of the city, and w-hile the bigger cities are abandoning the use of this vitre ous, glassy surfacing on their boule vards, (and. business streets where they can) what consideration of cor rect public policy or economy, or of important imminent emergency, justi fies the imposition of an undesirable material, at trust boosted and con fiscating prices, on these upper blocks with their comparatively low value?.

The mystery that sur rounds this show makes it one of the best attractions there is. Across the street to the south is the Outlaw show and nearby are the Venetian glass blow ers. An interested crowd is always at this place watching the men at work. The souvenirs which are shown are unique. One was a basket of large sized strawberries covered with a glass dome. The Janes Museum, the Penny Arcade and the Crazy House were all well patronized, while the Giggle Gallery on Monroe and Laurent streets was a gen eral favorite with every one. In fact the entire show is a clean, good one with no objectionable features. Caro, said to be the smallest horse in thz world, weighing 60 pounds and measuring 26 inches, was a favorite with all. The hoof of this dainty horse is the size of a half dollar. The monkeys are also general favorit-as. The Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round worked overtime until after ten o'clock. This latter which is situated on the Campordas tract on Monroe and Laurent is one of the best of its kind. The Wild West show was one of the good attractions. The exhi bitions of riding, roping and shooting by the cowboys and Indians were fine. Charles Strahl. the champion high divpr of the world, leaps from the top of an aerial ladder 116 feet in height to a llfo net. Two performances daily are given by Prof. Strahl. Mamie, the fire dancer, is another one of the attractions. A good band accompanies the show and concerts are given daily. The mayor and the members of the council express ed themselves as well pleased with th evening's entsrtainmnt. Performance"? will bs given every afternoon and even ing this week with the exception of Thursday, Memorial day. Numerous lunch and lemonade stands have sprung up on Laurent and w-ith the various shows makes this street a lively place. The crowd last evening was orderly and everything went off smoothly.

All the business houses of North lopeka are decorated for th? week and as one enters North Topeka he passes un der a large sign at the north end of the bridge which bears the inscrip tion 'Welcome North Topeka Civic Club." The lending features of the carnival are the Cosmopolitan shows. This show which is one or the largest carnival shows ever seen in Topeka. extends for two blocks along East Laurent street between Quincy and Madison. After an automobile parade which was given by the North Topeka Civic club to the mayor and City council the show last night was formally opened to the public. Mayor Greeni from the platform in front of the ghost show made a few brief remarks congratu lating the North siders on their en terprise and after a few selections by the band the big show was on. For two blocks last night the show grounds were thronged. The grounds are brilliantly illumined by electric lights and the whole street takes on the appearance of a grand metropoli tan affair. The only drawback is the dust which is very thick in this region. However, this will not affect the at tendance the least bit if last night's attendance can be taken as a criterion. There were hundreds of people who saw the different shows and the in dications point to a good crowd all week. An id-?a of the extent of the 1 V.

This is a mysterious perform-! ance as might be indicated by its name. City officials and Commercial club officers were nearly all in attendance. The shows meet the approval of all. Mayor Green says: The shows are all clean and good. We were there quite j a while and saw a good deal and they I are all right. They have one show! that they call the Crazy House. We; went in and the thing was like a street car with seats on both sides and when it was full the lights went out except one row and then the thing began to move back and forth. It makes one dizzy, but I got the best of them, for when I saw it was making me dizzy. I just shut my eyes and enjoyed thej ride. It made a good rocking chair. The wild west shows are good, too.

Hetrick's head, and kept an eye glued I upon mm ror ten minutes. finally, upon escaping from the beginner who j was monkeying with her teeth, she approached Dr. Hetrick and said "Mister, I don't want to ask Im pertinent questions, but I can't help wondering how that bare place hap pened on your head." Dr. Hetrick pondered a moment, and then began: "Madam, it is a sad story. When I was a small child way out west one day the wild and woolly Indians raided our happy homestead. They scalped me." "My, my," ejaculated the lady. "Why didn't they take a bigger piece?" v "Um-er-well. you see Pa and the hired man were coming, and the In dians had to run. I guess it was be causs they didn't have time to take a larger piece of scalp." There was suspicion in the eye of the old lady as she moved away. A Topeka dentist, who overheard the conversation, rushed after her and said: "I think you should be told the real reason for the size of that scar. He was prevaricating. The Indians had plenty of time and they scalped him clean. That was the size of his head, clear up to the time when he began attending the dental examina tions. After that his head grew."

Notorious Cleo Bennett Is Given Fire Years. ALL PLEAD GUILTY. The Other Ben Butler Hears His Fate. Wesley Dotson Fails to Appear on Time. This was a Bort of a field day for criminals In the district court, and it came as a sort of a relief after the monotonous grind of civil cases which have been occupying the attention of the court for the past few weeks. An uneven 13 criminal cases. Involving a variety of crimes from arson down to petit larceny, were on the assignment of the court for today, and a number of them were disposed of without trial through the willingness of the accused to plead guilty to crimes of a lesser degree man those which were charged and which pleas were acceptable to the court ana tne county attorney. Cleo Bennett Gets Five Years. Cleo Eennett came in for the heaviest sentence. On her plea of guilty to at tempted arson Judge Dana imposed the indeterminate sentence provided by law for this crime which is imprisonment in tne state s penitentiary for a term of not less than five years or more than ten years and a half. Cleo was accused of arson for setting a fire in the city Jail on April 13 with the hopes of causing such confusion that she might have an opportunity to escape. The fire was discovered almost as soon as it was started and did but little dam age. A month in jail seems to have worked wonders for Cleo. At the time of her arrest she was a haggard and emaciated woman, made so by the excessive use of drugs. It was thought mat sno was insane but a commission appointed to examine her mental con dition found her to be scne and only subject to erratic actions when she was under the influence of narcotics. When she came in the court room this morning she looked a different wo- man from what she did a month ago. Her dress was neat and she has gained perceptibly in flesh. "It's the best thing in the world that ever happened to me," said Cleo referring to her incarceration to Mrs. J Thorpe, the police matron, who was I in the court room! "you have made a woman Of me. Cleo would have been pleased with liberty but greeted her sentence with "can't be helped" shrug of the shoulders. One year for Ben Butler. Ben Butler, a negro, who was ac cused of burglary and larceny for stealing a lot of groceries from the store of Roose Brothers on April 13. received the next heaviest sentence. Ho pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary and was sentenced by Judge Dan to an indeterminate term in the state's penitentiary- of -not rlese'- s than one year or more than five years. But ler is believed to have been respon sible for a number of other burglaries that happened about the time he was arrested for breaking into the Roose store. A Month !n Jsil for Xonnnn Scales. To Norman Scales, a negro youth. who was accused of being an accessory to the holdup and robbery of Thomas McDevitt on January 31, when a couple of women named Laura Mc Gruder and Lena Wisdom touched him for $100.50. was given a sentence by Judge Dana of one month in Jail and to pay a fine of S100 and the costs in the case and to stand committed untii this money was paid or worked out. A plea of guilty to petit larceny was accepted from Scales. He had noth ing to do with the actual roDDery Dut was given some of the money by the women. The McGruder woman is al ready doing a "bit" In the pen for this crime, and the Wisdom girl is serving a six months' jail sentence for her share in the transaction. Wesley Dotson Was Missing. When the case against Wesley Dotson, who Is charged with the larceny of $57.50 worth of brass castings from the Santa Fe shops was called. Dotson did not re spond for arraignment. Judge Dana thereupon declared his ball bond to the amount of $500 forfeited. This bond was furnished by John Heitman and Heit man will have to produce Dotson ir court within a few days or he will be out $500. The assignment of the other cases on the criminal calendar was rearranged by Judge Dana and they will come up for trial, beginning this afternoon and con tinuing tomorrow and Friday as there will be no session of the court on Me morial day.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE. JOTJKNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1907. IN SIXTH DISTRICT Chas. U. Moody Returns to His Old Home. Was Once Populist Candidate for Congress. 3TCOB3IICK WAKES UP. He May Lead the Fusion Forces Once More. People Still Hare a Prosperous Air. Chas. H. Moody, former Populist candidate for congress in the Sixth district, has moved from Kansas City to Jewell county, and will locate in Mankato, his former home, where he has bought property. The anti "square deal" Republicans In Mitchell county so the story goes have already commenced to hold se cret conclaves. As one of the old line Republicans said: "The day has passed when politicians can go to house be it in midday or at midnight and get the dear voter out of bed to buttonhole him. You have got to go after the office if you succeed." The anti-square deal fellows must be get ting worried, so to speak, if they are already holding secret caucuses, now a year in advance of any convention. Both factions seem to be watching each other as a chicken does a hawk. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Freeman, of Beloit, will visit Fairbanks. Alaska, for the next three months, where they have a son. D. N. Freeman, who is cashier of the First National bank of Fairbanks. This bank has the credit of being the farthest from Washing ton, D. C of any bank. Another Be loit man is president, Sam Bonnifield. while Mr. Freeman is one of the stockholders. At last accounts this bank has over $800,000 deposits. There is paid out from $50,000 to $75,000 daily, and similar amounts are deposited. The deposits have reached at times over one million. Mr. Freeman says this visit will be the first pleasure trip he has had since he ran for congress on the Dem ocratic ticket in the Sixth district. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman will visit other places of interest while away. They expect to be on their Journey nearly a month. They will travel by railroad from Beloit to Seattle, thence by boat. A large crowd of Beloit and Mitchell county friends will see them start. The Democrats of the Sixth district are on th-i alert. Some of them begin to snuff victory in 1908. Ex-Congress-man X. B. McCormiek. of Phillips coun ty, may sret into I he congressional race. At least a representation of Demo unts from Sherman. Thomis. Graham nrd Rawlins counties met some of the Democrats of Phillips county, in Phii lipsburg, and the question of how a Democrat can beat Congressman Reed er was gone over in all its phases. Mc Cormiek was the man who can do it, these representative Democrats claim ed. Since his defeat for a second term he has kept out of politics, attended strictly to law. and built up a fine practice, in fact he Is making more money than he can get out of the sal ary of a congressman. The Democrats t eem to think they see trouble ahead for the machine and square deal fac tions of Republicans, and a political tidal wove will engulf these factions in 1908. and in this event a Democrat will succeed the Republican, and hi? name Is likely to be McCormiek. Now that the papers from outside the district are trying to make con gressional timber for the Sixth district. and dictating as to who will be candi dates for this and that office, it is only fair to say that the friends of State Senator I. D. Young of the Mitchell Jewell district, claim that he has no simbition to be governor, but at the proper time his friends will presvnt his name for candidate for congress. His 1; iends are grateful to the several pa yers who l ave o generously and kind ly mentioned him for the office of gov ernor. And Hays B. White, of Jewell county, refuses to be a candidate for governor, and at the same time he emphatically eays that there is no mortgage on him to keep out of politics. In othei words. ox State Senator White is pretty apt to tome forward as a candidate for con gress. Had his foresight been as good as his hindsight there are plenty who believe he could have been the nominee In the famous Norton convention. The Phillips county Mo.lern Wood men of America will hold their annual "log rolling in Kirwin. September 3, 4, 5. There will be something doing every day. There are over l.ouo members of the order living in Phillips county. The Kirwin camp having the matter in hand, are already at work on an elaborate programme. The executive committee are: Wm. Stuckmann, John Poisal and K. S. Ewing. Rev. .1. E. Stevens, postmaster at Coodland, has set a novel precedent. Inside of his office and in the presence of his clerks who were witnesses, he performed the ceremony which made Stanley D. Bruno and Miss Rose E. Brown, of Denver, husband and wife. The Star is a new journal to start up In Tocemento. Ellis county. Colby can beat Plainville in the mat ter of windmills, having 168 to 148 in the latter place. The population of Stockton is 1.34(1. The next largest town in Rooks county ia Plainville with 988 inhabitants. Sixth district newspaper men are getting along pretty well. The Man kate Monitor and the Phillipsburg Dis patch are erecting new houses for their publications. And S. H. Dodge of the Beloit Gazette, who has been in the newspaper work since 1863 is unusual ly thankful, having received his first cash payment for railroad advertising. Threats have been made that a newspaper will be put in Kensington, a Smith county town large enough to support one good paper, and this thev have In the Mirror. Ie seems to be a case of "getting even." The Palco Enterprise quotes one of the pleasant women of that place: "The most aggravating kind of a per son to live in the house with is one who always has his own way, and yet goes around with an abused air." The peo ple of Palco are thankful there are no such husbands in their town. R. A. Clelland is one of those happv. prosperous farmers of Jewell county who all will admire. He located in that county In 1869, when the buffalos were about as numerous as flies In a sugar barrel in midsummer. He Is. there fore, the oldest settler In continuous years living in the county. He is sat isfied with his half section, situated in the valley of the White Rock, a sec tion which the Indians fought hard to hold because it is the garden spot of Jewell county. He farms and raises tock.and is so well fixed that he doesn't "have to work hard. In one batch of cattle he bought and fattened he soldi for $1,500 less than they cost him. He didn't whine, but went to work again, and has prospered and Is con tented. WAS ICE AND FROST. Belated Reports Show Damages to Fruit and Field Crops. Atchison, Kan., May 28. Ice al most as thick as ordinary window glass formed Sundas Beans and potatoes were nipped, but the damage is not heavy. AT HUTCHINSON. The thermometer registered 32 de grees early Monday morning and in Soutn Hutchinson, and there was a lit tle ice in the exposed places. There was a slight frcst and some of the tender garden plants are injured.. Farm crops are not hurt. AT MANHATTAN. Reports of considerable damage to crops are coming in as a result of a Sunday night's heavy frost. AT McPHERSON. A light frost prevailed over McPher- son county Sunday night. Potatoes and all other garden stuff suffered. There was nothing else for it to kill, as the fruit was killed in the previous freezes. Corn will be affected, but not seriously, and it is not thought it will damage the wheat. AT COTTONWOOD FALLS. A heavy frost visited this vicinity Sunday night which did some damage to gardens and small fruit. The tem perature was only a few degrees above tne freezing point, but it is believed no harm has been done to the corn, al falfa or other crops. Only one or two small showers have fallen here in the last two weeks and crops are beginning to feel the effects of the dry spell. AT MARTSVILLE. There was a heavy frost here Sunday night, which ruined nearly all garden vegetables and hurt corn and alfalfa badly. It was especially severe on the bottom land. Just how much it dam aged wheat is not known. The opin ion prevails that where wheat had be gun to head it is badly hurt. There has been no rain here yet, but the Big Blue river rose six feet Saturday from rains north. AT GARDEN CITY. Beets up about two inches were kill ed in this county by heavy frost, which also took beans, peas and other garden truck, probably one-fifth of the beets near Garden City are injured, not enough to affect the factory run, as the early planted beets were hardy enough to withstand the freeze. The Deerfield and Lakin districts suffered even less. Reports show that Kansas beet crop came out better than the rest of the valley, and that Colorado is much harder hit. A great deal more re planting there will be necessary. If heavy rains come at once, farmers who lost beets here will replant AT CANTON. Citizens who were up early Monday report ice frozen on tubs and water troughs. This is the latest freeze ever reported in the county. Some dam age was done to the gardens. Wheat badly in need of rain and if it does not get rain soon it will be badly dam aged. AT GREENSBURG. The frost here made some ice and killed young potatoes, beans and cab bage, but no serious damage was In flicted on wheat and corn of Pratt and Kiowa counties. AT ELLSWORTH. The minimum temperature here Sunday night was 28 degrees. Wheat is suffering severely from dry weather AT EMPORIA. There was a light frost In Emporia and vicinity Sunday night, but vegeta tion was not damaged. AT REAMSVILE. Plenty of ice formed in this vicinity Sunday night doing damage to pota toes and garden truck generally. Wheat is also injured. GRAFTON IS FREED. V. s. Supreme Court Tteverses ClvU Court of Philippines. Washington, May 28. The case of Homer E. Grafton versus the United States has been decided by the su preme court of the United States in favor of Grafton. Grafton is a private in the United States army. He was charged with the murder of two Filipino natives at Cuimiras, Philip pine islands, July 24, 1904. He as serted he was attacked and had to shoot the two men in self defense. Grafton was on sentry duty on a country road. Two men approached him and one of them drew a bolo from under his shirt. Both rushed at him and he killed them. He was ac quitted by the court-martial which followed. The civil authorities of the islands, however, took the matter in hand with the result that Grafton was sentenced on a charge of homicide to a term of imprisonment of twelve years. Grafton brought the matter to the supreme court of the United States on a writ of error with the result that the decisions of Philippine civil courts were both reversed. The opinion was announced by Justice Harlan and pro ceeded upon the theory that Grafton's life could not be twice in Jeopardy as it was by trial in both the military and civil courts. The opinion orders that Grafton be discharged from custody. DESERTS WIFE AND BABY. Prosperous Pratt County Farmer Dis appears Leaving 23 Cents. Pratt. Kan., May 28. A. A. Parker, a prosperous young farmer living in Iuka township, near here, deserted his wife and baby Sunday it is said, leav ing 23 cents for them to live on. Parker had a sale last Thursday and converted all his stock into cash with the intention of moving away. He was respected by all and why he would leave so deserving a woman as his wife is a mystery to .the friends on both sides. Mrs. Parker's parents were in Pratt Monday trying to make a case against him. but their only recourse seems to In a divorce suit. Parties are trying to locate Parker in the hope of a reconciliation between the two. Arrested nt Prison ;tcs. Leavenworth. Kan., May 28. U. E.

Garver, special master in the Madison branch ase in the Kansas su preme court, today filed his findings of fact and of law with the court, in which he upholds the Missouri Pacific in refusing to establish a separate pas senger service on the line of -their road from Madison, Kan.," east to Butler, Mo. Mr. Garver reaches this conclusion solely on the ground that the line of road involved in the controversy is in terstate, and that the railroad board j and the Kansas courts have ho jurisdic- tion over it. On the merits of the case, he finds entirely In favor of the people demand ing more passenger train service on the Madison branch. He holds that in considering the earning power of the road, the Madison branch must be con sidered as an essential portion of the Missouri Pacific railroad, and that if the Missouri Pacific can afford to put on the special passenger service, the order can be issued. He also holds that even considered on the basis of the earnings of this one branch by itself, the Misdoii'i Pacific could afford to run a motor car propelled by gasoline, and he finds that such cars are in practical operation on some roads and have been for several year3. Both of these findings in favor of the people, however, are offset by the finding that the whole proposition is interstate, and should be referred to the interstate commerce commission. The referee finds that the Madison branch runs through an agricultural country, and that Mound City is the only large town. Separate passenger service was maintained on this line for some yeais, but was abandoned bet cause it didn't pay, and the only ser vice now is a mixed train daily. The railroad commissioners ordered that passenger service be restored, and the matter was taken into the supreme court to enforce the order. Concerning the claim that the Mis souri Pacific cannot get Into court be cause it failed to start proceedings to tet aside the order of the commis sion within the 30 day limit the referee says: "The defendant is not estopped from setting up and making the sev eral defenses contained in the return to the alternative writ merely because it instituted no proceedings to set aside the order of the board of rail road commissioners." The following findings of fact in volving the real merits of the case were ia favor of the people making the complaint: 'Since the defendant has combined this line of road, for operation, man agement and accounting with the Kansas Colorado Pacific Railway company lines, so as to practically constitute the twelve lines embraced in that company a single unit for the purpose of operation, and no definite ascertainment can be made of the actual earnings of the Madison line a separate passenger service should be maintained in the net earnings of the Kansas Colorado Pacific justify such service. The Madison line is interstate in upon its own traffic and not used as a feeder to other Missouri Pacific lines, would not pay the cost of maintaining separate passenger service, and an or der for such service would not be rea sonable. But considered as a part of the Missouri Pacific system, I think a requirement of such service would not be unreasonable." The sections of the findings which proved fatal to the Madison branch people were as follows: the Madison line is interesting in construction, connections and opera tion, the running of trains from Madi son to Montieth Junction or Butler being necessary in order to give the operating company any reasonable opportunity to meet expenses of such operation. It will be unreasonable to require a separate passenger train to be operated on this line only within the state. "As the state can not exercise con trol over interstate operation of rail roads, an order can not be made for the running of trains from Montieth Junction' to any point in Kansas. Such an order must emanate from the in terstate commerce commission. "For the reasons stated in the last two preceding conclusions, the writ asked for can not be allowed." Concerning motor cars, the findings are as follows: "The evidence shows that motor cars, gasolene engine power have been opc-rated for a year or more by some railroad companies with fair success, and at a cost of operation much less than necessary in case of ordinary passenger trains. Such motor cars require a crew of only two men, and for fuel consume about half a gal lon of gasolene per mile. Their use and operation are feasible on such a line as the one in question, and would furnish a service probably adequate to accommodate all passenger travel on this line." IIARVKY CASE NEAR END. It Probably Will Go to the Jury To morrow. Pittsburg. Pa.. May 28.- The trial of Thomas W. Harvey, former teller of the Enterprise National bank who is charged with falsifying the accounts and misappropriating the bank's funds. Is nearing te end.

Attorney for Haywood Objects" to Kind of Jurymen Called.

Boise, Idaho. May 2S. The Steunen berg murder trial has again been in terrupted by the exhaustion of the Jury panel. The last man of the second ven ire disqualified and Judge Fremont Wood postponed the trial until Friday morning, when Sheriff Shad Hodgin is to produce another special venire of 61 men. The old number was Jocularly asked for by the defense in the hope of changing the luck. The work of jury filling is stopped at the vacancy created by the seventeenth peremptory challenge, so that there re main three more peremptory challenges. Besides that there is a chance that Juror Tourtellotte, who objected to the infliction of the death penalty, save in war or anarchy, will be excused when it comes time to finally swear the Jury, and Juror A. P.. Burnes is suffering from lumbago. Prior to the issuance of the new venire E. F. Richardson, for the de fense, strongly intimated that the pre vious lists had been made up in a manner unfair to the prisoner. He said that of the 5,000 citizens available for jury duty, fully 1,200 were members of labor unions. One hundred and sixty j talesmen had been before the court, yet only one of the number was a mem ber of a labor union, and only two others were worklngmen. j He said that there were only w or bankers in the county, yet nine of them had been found in the lists. He also protested against the talesmen being drawn from the farmer ana mercan tile classes rather than from the main hndv of eitizAtis. Judge Wood, in reply, said that he had absolute confidence in Sheriff Hodgin, and that he would make no suggestion to him as to the manner in which he made up his lists. HE WAS WITH DEWEY. J. L. Stlekney, Noted War Correspond ent. Is Dead. Chicago. May 28. Joseph L. Stlekney. the noted war correspondent, who stood on the bridge of the Olympia with Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay. expired last Saturday at his home in Michigan. An obituary notice was received in this city in which the place of death was given as Dewey lake. There is no such i?ostoffice in Michigan, and Mr Stickney's friends believed the name Is one which he gave to some small body of water in honor of his friend. Admiral Dewey. For several years Mr. Stlekney has been an editorial writer on the Chicasro Even ing Post and was also a contributor to magazines. Mr. Stlekney was 58 years of age. Com bining the double advantage of being a trairied newspaper reporter and a grad uate of the naval academy at Annapolis, he was unusually well equipped to re port the battle of Manila Bay. He was the man who gave to the world Admiral Dewey's famous order: "You may fire when ready, Gridlej-."' Mr. Stickney's account of the battle of Manila was the first published story of the fight in accurate detail. Admiral Dewey, in his official report of the bat- tie to tne navy department, said: "J. L. Stickney, formerly an officer in the United States navy, and now a news paper correspondent, volunteered for duty as my aide and rendered valuable ser vice." BEEF IS BETTER. Only High Class tock Is Xow Mar. ketcd in Chicago. Chicago, May 28. Because of the enforcement by the big packers of their new rule requiring post mortem examination of cows and heifers as a condition of purchase, only the high class grades of beef were sold at the stnek yards yesterday for the Chicago trade. It was the first day of the enforce mentj of the post mortem rule and the first skirmish between the packers and shippers of live stock and the commission men. The big packing firms did not succeed in buying a solitary cow or heifer. None of the 3.000 animals numbered in the list of the day's receipts as "cow stuff" re mained unsold, however, all being sent to other cities and on this show ing the commission insisted that the firms were routed in the flcst skirmish.

Wilker son, the sheriff, and Tim Donovan, now a Santa Fe detective, on the charge of attempting to hold up and rob Chas. Nattsen, the shoemaker on lower Kan sas avenue, whose fight with a burglar caused such a stir recently, is only 19 years old, he has only had his freedom during the last nine years of about six months. Sheriff Wilkerson said today that with the exception or tnese six months during the past nine years Bur nett has been in some sort of a cor rectionary institution, serving terms al ternately in the boys' reform school in North Topeka and the state reforma tory at Hutchinson, Burnett was arraigned in the city court this morning and held on a charge of attempted highway tobbery in ball to the amount of $1,000, which was fixed by Judge Simon. Burnett was unable to furnish the bail and was committed to jail. He will have a preliminary hearing in the city court on Frida y. It is the belief of Sheriff Wilkerson that Burnett was responsible for the hnidine iid of a street car on the Wash burn line a few months ago when the conductor was forced to give up the money on his person at the point of a revolver. This conductor has since left the service of the Topeka City railway and is now working in Kansas City. Sheriff Wilkerson is going to have him come here for the purpose of identify ing Burnett as the robber who held him ui. Nattsen. the shoemaker, who thwait ed Burnett's attempt to rob him, had not arrived at the county jail up to a late hour this afternoon for the pur pose of Identifying Burnett, but Henry Heise, who ras a cigar shop near Natt on's and witnessed the attempted hold up, came around to the Jail this morn ing and positively identified Burnett as the robber who tried to turn the trick on Nattsen. Sheriff Wilkerson says he has a com plete chain of evidence to convict Bur nett ol attempting 10 roo iansen. xne she: iff declares that Burnett, when he was so closely pressed by the officers after the holdup of Nattsen, Jumped Into the Kaw river just west of the Rock Island yards and swam and waded to the other side, where he went to the home of some friends and pass ed the entire day there drying his clothes. Mr. Wilkerson says that a good share of the credit for the ap prehension of Burnett belongs to Tim Donovan, the former chief of police, who continued to work on the case at odd moments and who was present last nicrht when Burnett was arrested at the Elite theater where he was em ployed lately as the operator of the talking machine. Before working on this machine Burnett took tickets at the door of the theater. Decoration for Von Steralmrg. Berlin, May 2 8.

DOLBY TALKS. she Gives the Deacon Another Raking Donn. Deacon Dolby had milked the cow, Ted the hog and shut the hen-house door for the night, and he sat down in the sitting room with a grunt of relief and picked up the county paper and began to glance over its columns. Mrs. Dolby was sewing on a dress skirt that she had turned top-to-bottom and re dyed, and for Ave minutes not a word was spoken. During this interval the deacon slipped off his cow-hide shoes, scratched his heels and cracked his toes and felt that it was good to have a home. Then suddenly Mrs. Dolby said: "Deacon, you went over to Medina the other day. As I understand It. you went over to see a man named Pike about what to squirt on our plum trees to kill the worms. You came back and squirted, but I want to know if that was all there was to it?" The Deacon rubbed one foot over the other and pursed up his lips, and while it was fair to infer that he heard every word he made no reply. He had struck an item about a farmer being bitten by a hog. and he seemed deeply interested. "You don't answer. Deacon, but I -an answer for you. You went over to 'Medina on the day that there was a horse race over there. You didn't say one word to me about the race, either before or after. All you talked about was the liquor to squirt on the plum trees. Did you. or did you not. know there was to be a horse-race, with a drinking, swearing crowd around?" It was a straight question, but the Deacon ignored it. He finished the hog item and began reading about a far mer who fell into the well and was there two days before any one found him. Mrs. Dolby held her needle sus pended in the air and looked his way for half a minute, but as no answer came she resumed her sewing and con tinued: "When you reached Medina you saw Mr. Pike pbnut the squirting stuff, and then you headed straight for the race track. You may try to make me be lieve that you thought you were going to see a man about what to do for a ralf that has swallowed your jack knife, but It will be all in vain. You went straight to the track. People who saw you pegging along the road say that you were In such a hurry that you sweat your collp.r and didn't turn out for the mudholes. The price to go in pnd see the race was a quarter, and you had the coin In your mouth. Deac on Dolby, have you anything to say to me at this pint? Would you have anything to say to our minister if he called?" The deacon crosscd and uncrossed bis legs and hitched around on his chair, but thore was no answer. He had been caught with the goods on him. and whf.t was the use? Besides, be had Just sot interested in an ac count of how a wire fence conducted a thunderbolt and killed a horse, and be wanted to go slow and digest the scientific fact. Mrs. Dolby glared at Mm over the top of her spectacles for a fu!! minute, and then seeming to forget that she had asked a question she said: Si. "You wasn't content to lean against '(fhe fence and keep out of sight as much as you could, but you must pay fifteen cents more and prance upon what they call the grand stand. You even got a front seat. You even hol lored to three or four people you knew. When Mr. Benjamin came along and expressed his surprise at (teeing you there you never blushed nor stammered. You just carried it off as brazen as a murderer. You even even ;ou even winked at him and said said Here her emotions overcame her and she burst into tears and uttered two sobs. The deacon counted them. Also, from the corner of his eye he saw that she was wiping away the tears with ber elbow. The clock ticked forty-nine times, and then Mrs. Dolby snuffed and sniffed three or four times as a warning to her emotions to let tip. and then continued: "I have the very words you used. I have them written down in red ink and shall carry them to my grave: You winked and grinned at Mr. Ben jamin and said you were a game old wport. Think of it. deacon think of It! You who are supposed to be a liv ing example for everybody around you, not only attending a horse race, but telling people that you were a game old sport! I don't exactly know What a game old sport Is, but I know Cf WXTKT FEMAXE IIEtP it's something terrible something as bad as a robber. How could you do such a thing how could you? And after doing it how could you ever come home and face me and the cat and the clock and other things?" This emotional breakdown consisted of six sobs and twenty-eight tears, as near as the deacon could figure it. He rauft have felt his guilt, but bo did not betray It. He simply turned the paper over and struck an itom headed: "The Wonderful Fecundity of Rats," and began to devour it with avidity. "A game old sport!" sobbed Mrs. Dolby, as she used different elbows to wipe different eyes. "If anybody had told me that I should ever live to see this day I couldn't have believed it. When I write the news to sister Han nah in Wisconsin I know she'll faint away. You can't deny it, deacon, for seven different persons heard what you said. Mr. Penrose told his wife that he suspected you'd been drinking, but he couldn't say whether it was lemon ade or ginger ale. If I was sure you had been drinking, on top of going to a horse race and being a game old sport, I'd pack my things tonight and leave you. I'd be afraid of my life to stay. And what happened when the race started what happened, deacon?" The deacon finished with Rats and smiled as a vision rose up before him. The smile was so broad that Mrs. Dol by might have seen it if she had been looking his way. but s-he had resumed her needle and her eyes were cast down. "I can tell you, sir, what happened, and it won't help you any to deny it. It comes to me from four different per sons. You rose up and hollered out that you'd bet a dollar even up that the spotted horse would win. Folks yelled for you to sit down, but you wouldn't do it. You said you'd bet vcur hat and coat and boots. It was awful awful. I wake up every night and think of It with shudders, and I fall asleep again to ee it all pictured out before me. Deacon, a crazy man would act that way. If you can say that you were crazy perhaps I'll for give you." 4 The deacon could have said so. but he didn't. He wanted -to grin, but as she was looking full at him he shut his teeth hard and began to study the village market reports. He found that carrots had Jumped two cents a bushel within a week. "While the race was being run," Mrs. Dolbv went on after sucking the thumb she had pricked with the needle, "you stood up and yelled and hollored and swung your hat. After it was over with you went down among the swearing crowd and talked louder than anybody else. You got so excited that you even tried to buy the horse th.it won. You let three or four different men slap you on the back and call you "old hoss' and never resented it. Think of it. Deacon a dead game sport and an old hoss! Why, when I think of it There were tears and sobs for the next five minutes, during which the Deacon cracked his toes and read about the Bulgarian massacres, thus proving him self what he had been called. He had begun to gape and yawn when Mrs. Dolby wound up with: "And vou came heme as meek as a cat and mixed up something and squirted and squirted it all over the plum trees, and one to look at you would have ta ken you to be as. innocent as a baby. Not a wcrd to me. The dead game sport and the old hoss thought his wife would never hear a word of it. Oh, Deacon Deacon Dolby, what have I ever done that such a trial as this should be put on me! How can I ever show my head outside of this house, row that I know that the worst is true!" "I want to plant that sweet corn early in the morning." said the Deacon, as he rose up and stretched himself, "and so I guess we'll get to bed a leetle early. Guess we've both of us been asleep all the evening. You turn the cat out and I'll wind up the clock." (Copyrighted, 190T, by Mary McKeon.) "The House of Clay." The sensation of Paris is Emile Fabre's play at the Comedie Francaise, "The House of Clay" (Maison d'Argile). It is a problem play. The thesis is against divorce. Before the divorce law was passed in France, the thesis was all the other way, notably In Augler's fam ous "Mme. Caveiet." While "The House cf Clay" shows the evil results of di vorce at the Theater Francaise. "Thrt Jacoblnes," by Abel Hermant, takes the same line. The heroine of the play does not, like Clytemnestra, kill her husband; she divorces him. She "leaves her two children, Jean and Valentine, in the hands Of strangers. Marguerite she loves because she is the daughter of the man she loves. She is willing to sacrifice the interests of the children for her second husband and Marguerite. She has not seen her son Jean since her divorce. The scene in the piece which Is nightly applauded is that in which Val entine protests against the sacrifice. "Have I not been a mother to you?" Mme. Armieres asks. "In name," answers her daughter: "but to my sister Marguerite in heart." "You speak to me only about money," she says to Jean. "Of what else can I speak to you? It is the only bond between us." he answers. Mme. Segont-Weber plays tho role of Mme. Armieres. with the terrible force of a heroine of Sophocles. In the end, she is deserted by all, and her "house of clay," or, rather sand, falls. It is the "only play of the Parisian sea son that "has made a great --success. It will be seen, adapted, next season in New York if M. Fabre consents to an adaptation. HOMETOWN" HAPPENINGS. (By M. Quad.) It grieves us to the heart to hear that Dr. Purdy thinks Mrs. Daniel Smollett has consumption and is not long for this world. We bid her hope that the doctor is mistaken and that it is only a case of delayed measles. We were called into court the other day as a witness to state whether, in our opinion. Mr. George Henderson was intoxicated on a certain date. We swore that he leaned against the fence like one weary, and let it go at that. An editor's conscience should be a sacred thing. There are subscribers to the Banner who owe as much as four dollars, and although we have only one pair of trowsers and often nothing but much for dinner, they never call to even speak a kind word to cheer us on. An editor may seem to be in the gayest of spirits, but alas, if the public only knew what was gnawing at his heart. Mrs. Henry Penrose of this town has written a poem of over two hun dred verses on the death of a favorite cat, but her modesty forbids its pub lication. It is such heroines that keeps the price of real estate up to the figure it is. You get a Joan of Arc thrown in with every corner lot. In our haste to get out a metropoli tan issue last week we got it that Mr. and Mrs. George Pearsall had agreed to senarate and apply for a divonce. We tind that we were entirely mis taken,' and that they have and are liv ing together as happily as could be wished for. That's where we differ from the great metropolitan journals wo take things back when we have made a muss of them. We could not help but weep sad tears when the funeral cortege of Mrs. Jason's five-day-old baby passed the Banner office. It was a girl, and until the whoooing cough came there was everv reason to think she would grow up to bo an ornament to society and have a mission in the world. We called at the kitchen door in the even ing and expressed our sorrow in a few well chosen words. We resret to learn that Mrs. Frank Davis, while kicking at a strange cat on the back doorstep the other even ing, struck the frame of the door with such force as to break three of her toes. The doctor says she may be lame for months, and that her sylph like glide may be forever destroyed. How little do we know what kicking a cat may bring forth! While we were hanging out the clothes after doing the family wash ing last Monday two young ladies passed and tittered and giggled at the sight. W- did not feel humiliated, however. Any editor worthy of the position will be perfectly willing to assist an invalid wife about the house work. Horace Greeley used to bake all the bread and stew all the dried apples, and we are no greater than he was. The tittering and giggling may go on, but we shall continue to do our duty. There are -reports to the effect that two of our Hometown widows are go ing to mortgage their homes in order to spend the summer at the seashore. We do not credit such talk. Of course, tho sea Is a large body of salt water, and it roars at times and rushes wild ly upon the land, and the seashore is a great place for clam chowder, but we credit our ladles' with more sense than to go deeply in debt to see and to WANTED Two white married men who have had experience to work on ranch.

While it might be said that there were no definite results from ?he prison conference held Tuesday afternoon at the office of Governor Hoch, there was lio doubt r. better understanding reach ed between the state prison and re formatory officials, and the officers of these institutions were induced to come down off of their dignity and work to gether a little mere harmoniously. Heretofore, each institution has been centent to mind its own business. Gov ernor Hoch wants the two concerns to fret togethei, and swap prisoners when euch a swap seems for the best interest of the prisoners. Warden Haskell reported that there ere 95 prisoners in the penitentiary un der the age of 23 years. About half of these, are under the age of 20. One boy 16 years old is confined there. These are all Kansas prisoners, and some of them are by no means hardened crimi nals. It is proposed to transfer the best class of these young prisoners to the Hutchinson reformatory as fast as the reformatory can provide room for thm Another conference will be held to 'arrange definitely for the transfer of these prisoners. There are also some exceptionally tough and hopeless criminals in the reformatoiy who will be put in the pen itentiary as a more appropriate place for their safekeeping. Attorney General Cromwell of Okla homa, -was no: present at the confer ence yesterday. Those present were: Warden Haskell and A. I. Biddle and T. C. Ballinger of the prison board, Superintsndent K.

To the Patr'.otic People of Topeka: Next Thursday will bring the anni versary that is set apart by patriotic citizens of the United States to show respect for the dead heroes," who either gave or offered their lives for their country and its flaj during the dark and bloody days from '61 to '65, and in other wars in which we have been engaged. In round numbers there are one thousand veterans sleeping in Topeka cemeteries. The 30th day of May is chosen as the one day in all the year to pay a tribute of fragrant flowers to the memory of these sleepers by deco rating their graves. The ceremonies of the day appeal so strongly to the sympathies of our people that it has been universally adopted as a day upon which to decorate graves of all our loved ones, with the result that, prompted by love for our dead, very many of us in the past have used all the flowers we could obtain In decorat ing the graves of the deceased mem bers of our own families, and thus have consumed the visible supply of flowers to such an extent that those charged with the decoration of soldiers' graves have found it impossible to se cure enough flowers for the purpose. Last year those charged with the responsibility of decorating found the supply so short that they made the flowers on hand into small bouquets. The decorating party for the Topeka cemetery early discovered that their supply was not sufficient and so divid ed the little bouquets and finally per GD Dim sunn IJafjBdflnmi&iiP pure.

At the same time we were impressed with the fact, that, prompted by love for their de parted, many of our citizens blanketed the graves of their loved ones with a profusion of flowers. In many in stances flowers were banked upon the graves until they were entirely cov ered. I want to assure you, good people, that neither the writer nor any of his comrades blame you for the love that prompted your bounteous tribute to your dead on that occasion, but I write to remind you that there are three hundred and sixty-four days in each year upon which you can pay a tribute of flowers to your beloved, without consuming the supply that is necessary to furnish enough flowers with which to decorate a thousand graves on the 30 th of May. I make the suggestion that if you will recognize the fact, that this day is especially set apart by the consent of the people and the legislative en actment of the states and the nation, in which to express our patriotic re gard for the nation's dead, you wm agree with me that it is reasonable to devote this one day in the year to the specific purpose for which it nas Deen consecrated. I further suggest that it will be emi nently appropriate for societies to se-1i-t erme other dav or days and spe cial! v set them aDart for paying a like tribute to their dead, which days should be recognized by all of us. as peculiarly belonging to tne purpose for which they are designated. The flower supply is this year much ohnrior than usual, and if all the peo ple who have flowers and also have been bereaved of their loved ones, use their flowers as last year, there will be exceedingly few mat can ue ou tained for the real purpose of the Vet eran's Memorial day.

Mrs. Elisa Hafin, who lives at 300 South Eighteenth street, decided to start a fire in her kitchen range yesterday af ternoon. She picked up what Phe thought was the coal Oil can, poured the fluid on the wood, lighted a piece of paper and was about to touch the wood when there was a loud roar. It was gasoline, of couise. The stove was split in two, the windows shattered, a Fheet of flame filled the room and Mrs. Hafin's face and arms were burned. A neighbor turned in an alarm. It -was on the way to this fire that tre buggy in which Chief McNarry and his assisiant, Olander Lind, were riding was overturned and the occupants hurt. The Hafin home was destroyed with -i loss of $5,000. protected by insurance. My Hest Friend. Alexander Benton, who lives on Rural Route 3. Fort Edward, N. Y., says: "Dr. King's New Discovery is my best earthly friend. It cured me of asthma six years ago. It has also performed a wonderful cure of Incipient consumption for my son's wife. The first bottle ended the terrible cough, and this accomplished, the other symptoms left one by -one. until she was perfectly well. Dr. King's New Discovery's power over coughs and colds is simply marvelous." No other remedy has ever equaled it. Fullv guaranteed by the Arn old Drug Co., 821 North Kansas avenue. 60c and S1.00.

Emporia, Kan., .May 28. Ed Water bury opened the Farmers' union Mon day afternoon at the court house by introducing W. H. Mitchell of Reno county, who snoke to the farmers. He is a real farmer, and does not seem to be afraid of, showing it. He spoke well, simply and convincingly. He said that previous farmers' organiza tions had tried to spread over too much ground. He suggested that the union about to be formed should spe cialize on wheat. He suggested organ ization of producers to meet organiza tions bf the consumers. C. W. Peck ham of Reno county, secretary and state organizer of the American Society of Equity, spoke. He said he was a farmer and had lived on his farm at Hayden since 1871. He said he believed the union was the greatest movement in the world. Peck ham is a good looking farmer of the best Kansas type. The keynote of his speech was a plea for an organized effort to put farm products-. particu larly wheat upon the market at such time as would prevent congestion of the market at the opening of the mar ket. He spoke of the rival union which organized in the south, and complimented it on its work in cotton: but said the southern organization knows nothing of wheat. He said his own union was to be a school to teach the farmers about the- market. He said that the object of his society was primarily to ascertain what is a profit able price in wheat and hold the crop for it. j After wheat has been organized, Mr. Peckham said the next move would be on prices of potatoes and broom corn. He explained that the merchant would be taken into the society, also the bankers and that among the best members of the; organization were bankers. He spoke of farmers who had become bankers by hard work. He went after the farmers who farm on dry goods boxes, and he said that the counsel of the farmer bankers was worth more to the organization than were the dry goods box farmers, and he pointed out tho advantages of hav ing bankers and merchants in the or der, so that farmers holding crops could be "carried" at the stores and banks while holding their wheat. There was a full hall at the court house, during the meeting, and the better class of Lyon county farmers was present. ECZEMA COVERED HANDS 11 YEARS Cracked and Bleeding in Many Places Became so Bad that Nail Came Off Finger Tried Many Remedies and Consulted Three Doctors, but Got No Relief Now Cured and Is Very PROUD OF HAVING TRIED CUTICURA REMEDIES "I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally my hus band said that we would try the Cuti cura Remedies, so we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint ment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resol vent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cuticura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F.
