TWO CENTS mm pi GRIME LIST GROWS Orchard Adds Swindling to the Long List. He Sold Fake Hail Insurance to Colorado Farmers. HE DENIES COACHING. Says McParland Is Not Telling Him What to Say. Still Cool Under Fire of Cross Examination. Boise. Idaho. June 12. The cross ex amination of Harry Orchard today is being: carried over the attempt on the life of Governor Pea body at Canon City and the events immediately succeeding, including- the Goddard and Gabbert dyn amite plots and follows the usual meth ods designed to confuse and discredit the witness. Attorney Richardson again suggested that Orchard was being coached by Detective McParland and counsel for the prosecution and provok ed the sharpest wrangle that the at torney and witness have had In their long contest. Orchard spiritedly denied that he was being coached and asserted that he was telling the truth. Orchard said that he and Pettibone discussed the project of killing Judge Gabbert. but that he alone had started out to murder Goddard with a bomb without any suggestion from Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone. except the general one made some months before. Still an other crime came home to Orchard to day. Under examination he confessed that he swindled farmers in southern Colorado with a fake hail insurance parae while down there trying to kill Governor Peabody. Just before noon recess the monot ony of the examination was broken by Orchard's description of his attempts to kill Sherman Bell in Denver. For some 12 nights he was at Bell's resi dence awaiting an opportunity to ehoot him. More than once Bell's life was saved by the barking of small dogs. Proceedings In Detail. Attorney Richardson began at once to question Orchard today regarding his conference with Charles H. Moyer at the latter's home in Denver, about April, 1905. Orchard testified yester day that Moyer, Pettibone and Hay wood told him at this time to go to Canon City, Colo., to "get Governor Peabody." Moyer's home was in the Aberdeen flats. Orchard said he went there of his own volition. He had not seen Moyer for a year or more before Ihis. The witness was not sure how the Peabody matter came up or. who' spoke of it first. Moyer said he want ed to get rid "of Peabody so no one else would follow in his footsteps. Peabody had gone out of office at this time. Orchard said he talked with Hay wood and Pettibone at the latter's store. They gave the same reasons for wanting to get rid of Peabody. Moyer also had a feeling of personal enmity toward Peabody, Orchard said, blam ing him fcr being the cause of his arrest. Orchard said Pettibone asked him to get a position as life insurance so licitor before going to Canon City. He got letters of recommendation from several persons, among them Mr. Hawkins, a law partner of Attorney Richardson, who has conducted the cross examination of Orchard. Rich ardson wanted to know the circum stances of securing the Hawkins letter and demanded to know if Orchard had not said it was necessary for him to get work in order to support his fam- j ily. Orchard said ne told Hawkins ne was desirous of getting the position as a solicitor. The witness said he met Hawkins at some trials in Telluride and the attorney remembered. Hay wood later told Orchard he had made a mistake in getting a letter from Hawkins, for if anything happened In Canon City it might involve the attor ney who had been representing the lederjtion. To Avert Suspicion. Pettibone told Orchard he must have some semblance of an occupation If he was to remain in a town the size of Canon City without arousing sus picion. It was for this reason that he took up insurance solicitation. The casing of the Peabody bomb prepared at Canon City has been placed In evidence. Richardson wanted to know today why the would be assassin of the ex-governor had made such a large bomb. Orchard said he had planned to place the bomb outside the house and beneath the window where Peabody often sat in the evening. The fact that the bomb might also kill Mrs. Peabody and the children made no impression upon him at the time Orchard declared. The witness said he made a pretense of insurance solicita tion while in Canon City and vicinity. He did not succeed In writing any in Furance policies, so he went into the hail insurance business with a man Irom Kansas City named Vaughn. "This insurance of farmers against hail storms was a fake, wasn't it?" asked Richardson. "It was a fake, yes, sir." "You Just gave the farmers a piece of worthless paper and took their money?" "Yes, sir." Orchard said he made a great deal of money out of the scheme. The plan to blow up Peabody with a bomb had been abandoned in the mean time. "Why?" he was asked. "Because Peabody had stopped sit ting by the window." Richardson tried to get the exact dates of Orchard's travels while in the hail insurance business and being un ruccessful, he turned impatiently upon the witness and demanded for the third time in the long cross-examination: "Who told you not to let me pin you down to any place or date?" "Nobody," shouted Orchard In re turn. Hawley and Borali Laugh. Attorneys Hawley and Borah, for the tate, laughed heartily at Richardson's seeming discomfiture. "Who told you to always tell me you are telling the truth?" next de manded the irate attorney. "Mr. McParland, Mr. Hawley and Mr. P.oruh all told me to tell nothing but the truth." "Ha! Ha!" cried Richardson. "They told you to tell me you are telling the truth?" mis," replied Orchard positively. "They told me to tell the truth, not to tell you that I was telling it." "Then why do you keep on telling me?" shouted Richardson. "Because you try to make It appear that I am not telling the truth." "You ,are under oath, aren't you?' "Yes, sir." "And you respect that oath?' "Yes, sir. "Well, what are you kicking about?" "I'm not kicking," said Orchard with exasperating calmness. "By the -way," questioned Richardson anew, "have you seen McParland this morning "No, sir." "See him last night?" "No, sir." "Did you see him night before last. I forgot to ask you yesterday." "Tuesday night? No, sir." Orchard said he had seen McParland at Attorney Hawley's office yesterday morning for a few minutes. The wit ness said that when the hail insurance gave out he returned to Denver and went to work on Judges Gabbert and Goddard. Orchard said Pettibone had agents In the country soliciting orders for his house specialties such as car petsweepers, clothes -wringers, etc. These men some times solicited life In surance. Mould 1.1ft tho Lid. Several times during the cross ex amination Richardson said to Or chard: "Let's take the lid off this." The attorney had been taunted by Senator Borah several days ago for taking the lid off". and getting what he did not want. Orchard said he talked with Pettibone about the God dard and Gabbert affairs in the base ment of the Pettibone store. "Where Pettibone and" his employes often worked, wasn't it?" asked Richardson. "Yes. sir." "And there was nothing suspicious about It?" "There was a tin box which did not look good to me." Well, what was In the tin box. Let's take the lid off that, too." You seem to have a lid on the brain," chimed in Senator Borah, but Richardson did not heed the sally. orcnara saia ne aid not see all that was in the box. He had seen some of the packages that had gone Into it. Here the matter was dropped. Orchard said he made the Goddard and Gabbert bombs in Pettibone's basement. "Did you get the materials out of the tin box?" asked Richardson. 'No. Pettibone had the powder buried in his yard." rule he was making the second bomb. Orchard said Pettibone was in Salt Lake. The bombs for Judges Gabbert and Goddard were made within a few days of each other. Or chard said he talked with Pettibone about the Gabbert bomb, which even tually killed a man named Wally in stead of the intended victim, but he had not talked with any of the federa tion leaders, regarding the Goddard bomb. He was acting under the in structions of several months before to "get" the two judges. The Goddard bomb was burled at the judge's gate. It never went off. After Slierman Bell. These atetmpts failing. Orchard said he went to work on Sherman Bell. Mrs. Pettibone had gone east on a visit and Orchard was stopping at the Pettibone house. He said Pettibone went with him several times to the vicinity of Bell's home. He drove In a rig. The team was one of several brought to Denver from Cripple Creek after the union stores had been looted by the militia. They had been used in the min ing camps to deliver relief goods to the families of the men on strike. One of the team was a gray mare. Orchard said, and the other was a "used up black." They weren't fit to drive as a team," said Orchard. "The gray mare might have been all right, but she was too conspicuous. Haywood told us to buy another horse and a good buggy to use in the Sherman Bell affair." "Hadn't Haywood received an offer of $250 for the team you say was all used up?' It was something over $200 for the horses, harness and wagon." You were going to kill Sherman Bell, you bought a horse to help you in the task and yet you went away In two weeks' time?" "Yes." "And you did not kill Bell?" Orchard said he never got an oppor tunity. He saw Bell once or twice on the porch. "Why didn't you shoot him Dogs Saved Gen. Bell. "Because it w-as dark where he sat and was light where I had to go to shoot. Several times I tried to ap proach the house, but there were some little dogs who w-ould start barking."' "On these occasions Pettibone was waiting for you down the street in the buggy?" "Yes. sir." Orchard sa-id Mercer ordered him to let up on Sherman Bell. The president of the federation had Just returned from California and was in 111 health. He said he wanted noth ing done in Denver, while he was there as he did not care to run the risk of being put in Jail again. Moyer had been in bad health ever since he was released from the military prison at Telluride. "And he continues In ill health so far as you know?" "He was the last time I saw him," said the witness. "Moyer said it would be a good time to do some out side work." "He told me to get Johnny Neville," said Orchard. "Neville had told him he knew about the Independence de pot and had demanded $1,200. Moyer said he was afraid of Neville and thought it would be safe if he was out of the way. I told Moyer I would do It." "But you didn't do it?" "No. Neville died a natural death." "Moyer had nothing at all to do with planning the Independence sta tion affair, did he?" "No, sir. He knew nothing about It." Court here took the luncheon re cess until 1:30 p. m. HAYWOOD IS HOPEFUL. Says He WU1 Be a Free Man In Six Weeks. Denver, June 12. "Steve Adams will not testify for the prosecution in the Haywood case." This was the positive declaration of Acting Secretary James Klrwan of the Western Federation of Miners to the convention. The federation leader who returned from Boise assured the dele gates that Haywood's lawyers have tho assurance from Adams that he will re pudiate his "confession" If he Is placed on the stand by the prosecution. Mr. Klrwan also brought the following message to the convention from W. D. Haywood: "Harry Orchard Is the greatest liar of the twentieth century as every man THEY WILL WAIT. Railroad Board in No Hurry to Secure Valuations. Would Like to Know Results of Other Investigations. ARE SHORT OF MONEY. Provisions Made by the Legis lature Inadequate. Supposed That Scope of Work WTouId Be Large. It has been decided by the state board of railraod commissioners to postpone the work of ascertaining the value of the railroads of Kansas until the interstate commerce commission completes and publishes the result of Its investigations on the same subject. The interstate commerce commission has been working on this pifiposition for some time, and its report is expect ed within a short time. One of the new railroad laws enact ed at the last session of the legislature contained the following provision: "The commissioners shall ascertain as early as practicable the amount of money expended in construction and equipment per mile of every railroad in Kansas, the amount of money it would require to reconstruct the road bed, track, depots and transportation facilities, and to replace all of the physical properties belonging to the railroads. For the purpose named the commissioners may employ experts sworn to inspect and assist them when needed, and from time to time, as the information required by this article is obtained, they shall communicate the same to the attorney for the board, and the attorney general by report." The railroad commissioners say that the appropriation made by the legis lature for this work Is entirely inade quate. One of the commissioners. In speaking of the situation said: "It was the Intention of some of the members of the legislature to have A very large appropriation made for this purpose but the appropriation was not made. We will have to depend largely upon the railroads for our information. The law gives us authority to call upon the. railroads for Information on all the matters touching the value of their property, and by using this means, we will be ame to arrive at me ranruouo own estimate of their value. "At the present time, however, we are waiting to And out what the interstate commerce commission will report on the value of the railroads. When we know what that commission has accomplished, we will set to work, and try to fill In and supplement that report wherever possible." The state law gives the railroad com missioners the right to call on the rail roads for information in the following words "To enable said commissioners tomake such reports, the president or managing officer of each railroad or transporta tion company doing business in the state shall annually make to the said board of railroad commissioners, on the 15th day of September of each year, such returns, in the form they may prescribe, as will afford the Informa tion required for their said official re port. Such returns shall be verified by oath of the officer making them, and any corporation herein named whose re turns shall not be made as herein pre scribed by the 15th day of September shall be liable to a penalty of $500 for each and every day after the 16th day of September that such returns shall be wilfully delayed or refused." The law goes on to say that the railroads must give information as to the value and operation of their prop erty. One of the things required of the commissioners In their report ls the actual cost and present cash value of road and equipment, including per manent way. buildings and rolling stock, all real estate and other prop erty owned by the road, including lands granted In aid of its construc tion. There seems to be plenty of law for the railroad commissioners to back up their demand for a full statement of the value of Kansas railroads, as de termined by the railroads themselves. metcaTmsTaliTright.

Ambassador Brice Offers Encourage, nient to American People. Urbana, I1U June 12. At the com mencement exercises at the Unlver sity of Illinois here today one of the attractions was the British ambassa dor, Mr. James Brice, who delivered an address. In his address Ambassador Brice considered the relation of history to politics and- the value of history to the citizens and statesmen, saying there were two general conclusions which DUblic spirited citizens of the United States, who wished to serve their city or state or country might draw from the political history of other countries. "One is," said he, "that no one wno seeing the faults that belong to popu lar government and the aimcuity or bringing it up to the weal wnicn tne theory of democracy sets up, need be disheartened; no, not even by repeat ed failures, to effect the reforms which good citizens desire. History has com fort for him. It will show him that other forms of government, autocracy and oligarchy, have their faults also and graver faults. You may find now and then a wise and high-souled des pot who will do his best for his sub jects, but there is no security, there Is not even a probability, that he will be succeeded by other despots of like virtue. You may have a. prudent and skilful oligarchic government which will extend the power of the nation in the world. But it is certain to gov ern in Its own class interests, not in that of the people at large. The other conclusion is that al though the best institutions and the best administrative system are worth planning for and strivmg for, although they make an imritense difference to the welfare of the country, there Is another thing even more importa-nt. That thing is the participation in the work of government of the whole body of the people. Leaders, honest, capable, courageous men, are neces sary. Just as necessary in a democracy as in other forms of government. The people must seek them out, must hon or them, must give, if their honesty Is proved. Its confidence. But the whole people must continue to watch everything they do and never surren der its Judgment, or its votes into their hands. It was said by them of old that eternal vigilance is the price pf freedom. It is the price of other things also. It is the price of pure government and efficient government. No citizen in a free country can es cape or decline his responsibility for the conduct of his government. He ought to respect the judgment of those whom he knows to be wiser than him self. He must avoid the error of those cranks.' as you call them, who set the particular question in which they are most interested above the general lines of a sound national policy. But the history of free governments shows that when things go wrong, it is not so often from errors of judgment on the part of the people, as it is from an excess of party spirit which led them to follow blindly an unscrupulous leader, or from an Indifference and negligence which has enabled un scrupulous and selfish men to pursue their own advantage at the expense of the public good. "The most successful of all demo cracies, that of Switzerland, has been In which the whole people have most ly constantly exerted themselves to watch and to take part in the conduct of their government and the result has been to produce in the mind of the Swiss people an Intelligent compre hension of public affairs which It must be hard to equal elsewhere."

One of the most drastic moves ever made to enforce the Kansas prohibitory law was taken here today when four saloonkeepers, who yesterday pleaded guilty to violating the law, were fined $100 each, ordered to pay the cost of the suit and were sentenced to 20 days on the rock pile, effective at once.

San Francisco, June 12. When the Schmitz trial was resumed today with Abraham Ruef on the stand court over ruled the objection of the defense to the question that was pending when court adjourned yesterday. The ques tion was: "Did you in January, 1905, In the house at 2849 Ftllmoie street, give this defendant, Eugene E. Schmltz, $2,500 In currency?" Ruef replied In the affirmative. Ruef said when he gave the $2,500 to Schmitz he told the mayor it was his, Schmitz's share of the $5,000 that had been received from the French restau rants. Ruef testified' that he had In January, 1906, given to Schmltz $1,500, telling the mayor that the French rest aurant keepers had paid a second In stallment amounting to $3,000. TUCKERPLEASED. Uncle Sam Oil Promoter Satis fied of a Square Deal. Thoroughly Enjoys Way Things Have Shaped Themselves. WINS A POINT IN CASE Jones, a Former Attorney, Ad mits Aiding Opposition. Worked With Standard Lawyers in Framing Trust Deed. Evidence of a Conspiracy to Crush Out Tucker's Company. Leavenworth, June 12. The Uncle Sam Oil company's attorneys brought out some favorable testimony before a jury in the United States circuit court at the opening session to back up their allegation that the Standard Oil com pany had an indirect connection with the suit to have a receiver appointed for the Uncle Sam company. John J. Jones, formerly an attorney for H. H. Tucker and the Uncle Sam company, made damaging admissions while un der cross examination. E.' A. Krauthoff made the opening statement to the jury, saying in sub stance that they expected to prove that the whole plan of H. H. Tucker in the organization of the Uncle Sam Oil com pany was fraudulent. He told of Tucker first issuing capital stock for 70 million dollars, then reducing it to 10 millions and afterwards increasing this to 17 millions, and of finally issuing bonds for 5 millions. He told that after Tucker was prohibited the use of the mails and indicted for fraud he executed a deed of trust on the company property so as to have a receiver appointed with a view of preventing the stockholders of the Uncle Sam company from reorganizing and taking everything out of Tucker's hands. Albert L. Wilson, for! the Uncle Sam company, made a counter statement to the jury alleging that the fraud order issued by the postoffice department, the indictment of Tucker and the apoint ment of a receiver was due to a plot on the part of the Standard Oil com pany. He was well started on an anti Standard Oil oration .when Judge Ami don stopped him and Inquired what bearing this had on the case. Judge Amidon said that the sole aues- tion at issue was whether or not the Uncle Sam Oil company officials prop erly executed a deed of trust to file for-1 a suit for the appointment of a receiver. and he added that it did not make any airrerence whether the company was solvent at the time or-not. He asked Mr. Wilson if he expected to prove that the Standard Oil company was In a conspiracy to make the Uncle Sam com pany execute this deed of trust. Mr. Wilson said that was one of the things he expected to show and he would come to it at once. Changing his line of address he charged that the law firm of Karnes, New Krauthoff made col lections for and were the atorneys for the Standard Oil company, and after the Indictment of Tucker they "butted into tne case. Mr. Krautnofr, he said, call ed at Tucker's office and said he repre sented Uncle Sam stockholders and told that a move was to be made to reor ganize the company and incidentally take it out of Tucker's hands. Soon after this, he declared. J. B. Tomlinson and John J. Jones, attor neys for Tucker, appeared and work ing in conjunction with Mr. Krauthoff. urged and finally induced Tucker to execute a deed of trust. In addition. acting on the advice of Tomlinson and Jones, that Tucker was Induced to turn $2,500 in Uncle Sam Oil company bonds over to Mr. Krauthoff which were placed in the name of three clerks In the law firm's offlce and on these dummy bondholders application was made and a receiver appointed. He charged that Tomlinson and Jones were in a conspiracy against their client. Mr. Wilson charged that David Mul vane, an attorney of Topeka, Republi can national committeeman for Kan sas was sent to Washington to prevent a fraud order issuing against the Un cle Sam company; that soon after his trip inspectors were sent on, an inves tigation made and a fraud order fol lowed immediately. He intimates that Mr. Mulvane did not act in good faith and that he, too, was In the Standard oil conspiracy. In closing, he charged that Harry Bone, United State attorney, and all who had any thing to ,do with the indictment of Tucker, were in the conspiracy. It was asserted that the Oil City Derrick and the Financial World of New York had published false and libelous articles against the Uncle Sam Oil company and that the articles were inspired and paid for by the Standard Oil company. One article from the Financial World against the Uncle Sam Oil company headed "Pro gress of a Giant Fake," was referred to. It was set forth that the Uncle Sam people desired to have the Nedi tors of the two Eastern newepapers brought into court to show that they were in a conspiracy against the Uncle Sam company. It was also alleged in the affdavit that The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Journal pub lished advertisements at the instance of the Stardard Oil company of a na ture to create prejudice and cause dis trust in the minds of the stockholders of the Uncle Sam company. Another allegation was made that L. C. Boyle, as an attorney for the Stand ard Oil company, influenced postoffice Inspectors to shut out the Uncle Sam company from the use of the malls and that Boyle had paid large sums of money to accomplish this. The al legation was made that a number of railroads were in a conspiracy to crush the Uncle Sam company; that the Xtchison, Topeka Santa Fe was operated by and for the advantage of the Standard Oil company; that J. G. Slonecker of Topeka, a referee in bankruptcy, was in the pay of the Standard Oil company and was there fore prejudiced against the Uncle Sam company. There was a sharp exchange be tween Alexander New and Mr. Wilson when Judge New asked if Wilson charged him with taking part In a conspiracy to Indict Tucker. Judge Amidon admonished both attorneys that no personal controversy would be tolerated. John J. Jones, a former attorney for Tucker and the Uncle Sam company, was the first and only witness of Tues day afternoon. He was put on the stand by Mr. Krauthoff to prove that the Uncle Sam OH company deed of trust was duly executed by Tucker and the officers of the company. He identified the deed and told how It w-as executed. Attorney Wilson then cross examined Jones for more than two hours. At the outset Jones admitted that he was an attorney for the Kansas Nat ural Gas company and that in case of a conflict between it and the Uncle Sam company he would favor the gas company. He denied that the Kansas Natural Gas company was owned by the Standard OH company. Jones admitted meeting Mr. Krauthoff and of agreeing to the plan to have a deed of trust executed, of advising Tucker afterwards to give it, and of urging Tucker to furnish $2,500 In Uncle Sam bonds to be used by Karnes, New Krauthoff as creditors, to file the suit for a receiver. Jones admitted taking the bonds to the law office and turning them over without taking a receipt for them. An other admission was that as an attor ney he appeared in court and helped with the proceedings to get a receiver for the Uncle Sam company while rep resenting it. Attorney Wilson referred to these as "sham proceedings. Jones was asked If David W. Mul vane was an attorney for or was on the pay roll of the Kansas Natural Gas company when objection was made to the question and it was ruled out. The trial dragged and it will require more than a week if no better progress is made. Railroad attorneys, editors and others all alleged to be in the con spiracy, who were subpoenaed as wit nesses are in attendance at the court. On motion of the Uncle Sam attorneys they are not allowed in the court room while the trial is in progress. The list of witnesses read Included the names of Judge John C. Pollock, United States Attorney Harry J. Bone, D. W. Mulvane, Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, and many other prom inent In business, professional and po litical circles. It is the Intention of the Uncle Sam Oil company to show If possible that a conspiracy exists to drive it out of business, and the testimony of Judge Pollock and Judge Spencer is expected to bear especially on this point. The jury which Is trying the case Is composed of G. C. Butler, Marysvllle; W. A. Morgan, Cottonwood Falls; Dan iel Hart, Norton; Edward Capsey; A. F. Horner, Topeka: F. A. Kiene, Valen cia; L. S. Meyerly, Collier; Charles Marble, Troy; William Archer, Colby: Robert Thornborrow. Wetmore; J. B. Edwardsi, Abilene; Elmer Reigle, New Cambridge. H. H. Tucker. Jr., was present throughout the hearing, being in charge of Sheriff Brown. He said he was pleased with the way things had shaped themselves. "I feel absolutely sure of a square deal now, and believe I am going to win," he said. WAS STANDARD BACK OF IT? Admission of Attorney Jones Shows Who Was Fighting Tucker Leavenworth, Kan., June 12. In the Uncle Sam OH case on trial here In the federal court today testimony, was brought out to show that trouble In the affairs of the Uncle Sam company started over the appointment of Ora Morse Instead of J. B. Tomlinson as receiver. It was planned by H. H. Tucker and his attorneys working with attorneys representing other Interests, It was shown, to have Mr. Tomlinson, who was attorney for Tucker at that time, named for receiver. When Judge Pollock decided to name a receiver who had no connection with the Uncle Sam company, Tucker became dissatis fied and bringing in new attorneys started to fight the bankruptcy pro ceeding and the receivership. John J. Jones of Chanute, Kan., former attorney for the Uncle Sam company, ad mitted on being questioned by Judge Am idon that he advised Tucker to make an assignment to be used as a basis for the bankruptcy proceedings. Jones also ad mitted he gave a copy of the papers to Karnes. New and KrauthofT, attorneys representing the interests adverse to the Uncle Sam company, before he sent copies to the assignees of the Uncle Sam com pany. Jones further admitted that the Kansas Natural Gas company which he also represented as attorney, was a com petitor of the Uncle Sam company, and that the gas company sold its products to the Standard Oil company.

Abe Rnefs Answer to the First Question Asked Him Is Held Up by Counsel for Eugene Schmitz. MAYOR DENIES ALL. He Proves to Be a Heady and Willing Witness. Swears That He Got No Portion of Extortion Swag. San Francisco, June 12. At the closing of the Mayor Schmitz extortion trial yesterday, Abe Ruef on the btund in rebuttal had opened his lips to an swer the question: "Did you pay half of this extortion money to Schmitz?" when the defense launched an objec tion, determination of which was still in doubt when adjournment was taken. Judge Campbell called Mayor Schmitz to testify in his own behalf im the second witness of the day. The mayor occupied the witness stand for more than an hour, during a consider able portion of which time opposing counsel were wrangling. The mayor himself exhibited an eagerness to waive technicalities of law and answer questions. At 4:30 o'clock Assistant District Attorney Heney said: "Call Abraham Ruef." Ruef, pale and composed, entered at the back of the altar and made his way around the crowded counsel table to the clerk's desk where he took the oath. "Don't answer any questions, please, until the defense has had on oppor tunity to object," cautioned Mr. Camp bell. Ruef nodded acquiescence. "Mr. Ruef," asked Assistant District Attorney Heney, without hesitation, "In July of 1905. in the house at 2849 Fillmore street, the home at that time of Mayor Schmitz. did you give Mayor Schmitz $2,500?" The prosecution alleges that Ruef divided even with the mayor the moneys paid him by the restaurant eurs and that the first installment paid by them was $5,000. To this question Mr. Campbell In terposed an objection, argument on which was still In progress when ad journment was taken at 4:30. Business Agent Puts Vp Job. The attorneys for Mayor Schmltz opened the defense by calling to the stand M. P. Scott, business agent of the local cooks' and waiters' union at the time the French restaurants were having their license troubles, who testified that he and a man named Reagan put up a Job to have the li cense of Tortonl's revoked because that restaurant had refused to union ize. Under cross-examination by Assis tant District Attorney Heney, Scott de nied that he had told Reagan, as Reagan himself testified, that the French restaurant keepers had raised "a sack" of $28,000 to buy protection of their licenses. On cross-examination Scott said he secured a Job with the board of pub lic works last August through the In fluence of the former president of that body, Frank Maestrettt. During the cross-examination of Mayor Schmltz, Mr. Campbell, senior counsel for the mayor, and the mayor himself were threatened with punish ment for contempt of court. This fol lowed repeated refusals on the part of the mayor to answer the questions f Assistant District Attorney Heney. The mayor was unperturbed and said he was perfectly willing to an swer but did not wish to disregard the advice of his counsel. Campbell fin ally withdrew his objections to the mayor's answering certain questions. Scott said that when he told Schmitz about Tortonl's place and the plan to get evidence by having two disguised waiters persuade the proprietor to send out for immoral women the may or told him to be very careful as to what he did. "Commissioner Reagan came to me and said that Commissioner Hutton was very much opposed to the French restaurants and wanted him. Reagan, to stand with him against them. I told Reagan that the French restaurants had been allowed to run for years be fore my administration and I saw nothing wrong with them. I told him. however, to Investigate and find out about them before taking any action in the police commission. I nswr told him thev were all bad places or that I wanted him to close them up. "He made an Investigation and re ported back to me. He said he inves tigated and found nothing wrong." Schmltz Willing to Aximver. "Did Ruef pay you any part of the $5 000 fee he' obtained from the French restaurant men?" was Heney's opening question. Campbell objected but the objection was overruled. "I am ready to answer that ques tion." spoke up the mayor. The mayor said: "I do not know that Mr. Ruef rot any $5,000 fee from the French restau rant men or that he was to get any such fee." Heney then asked: "Didn't Ruef give you one-half of $3,000 in currency at your home in this city In January, 1906?" Judge Dunne overruled Mr. Camp bell's objection. Campbell again told the witness not to answer. "I will reframe the question," said Mr. Heney. "Did not Ruef, at your home in this city give you $1,500 In currency and say 'This is one-hnlf of the second payment I have received from the French restaurant men?' "He did not," replied Mayor Schmits warmly. "Did not Ruef give you one-half of the $500 received by him from the old Poodle Dog. Jack's and Frank's at your house- In this city on January 3, 1906?" H?ney asked. "I object to that question on tha grounds already stated and I advise tho wltn-sss not to answer it," said Mr. Campbell. "Mr, Campbell," said the mayor, lean, lng forward In the -witness chair. "I' am oerfectly willing to answer these questions, but I don't like to go against the advice of counsel." Judge- Dunne swung around in his chair until he faced the mayor. "An swer the question," he ordered sharp ly. "He did not," replied Schmit.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAIEDiNESDAY, EVENING, JUNE 12,1907 fF fr M-J 1 I' v "fj o RHEUMATISM The canse of Rheumatism is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought about by indigestion, chronic constipation, and the accumulation in the Bystem of refuse matter which the natural eliminative organs have failed to cany out. This refuse or waste matter ferments and sours, generating uric arfd which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. One may also be born with a predisposition or tendency to Rheumatism, because like all blood dis eases it can be transmitted from parent to child. The aches and pains of the disease are only symptoms which you may scatter or relieve with lini ments, plasters, blisters, etc., or deaden with opiates. As soon, however, as such treatment is left Off of there is any exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion, or constipation, the wandering pains, sore muscles and joints, and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he has merely checked the symptoms while the real cause of the disease remains in the blood. Rheumatism can never be cured while the blood remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by driving the cause out of the blood, ft thor oughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. S. S. S. stimulates and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly depositing acrid and corrosive matter in the muscles, joints, nerves and bones, the body is soothed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood, which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed of roots, herbs and barks which possess both purifying and tonic properties just what is needed in every case of Rheumatism.

M., Saturday, June 15th Given Under Auspices of Topeka Commercial Club. The object in running the Alfalfa Seed Special over the Santa Fe Lines is to acquaint the farmers in our territory with the value of this plant, not only as a profitable farm crop, but as a fertilizer. Come and hear it. T. L. KING, C. P. &T. A. "VfHERE THET PLAT TOMORROW: JopHn at Topeka. Oklahoma City at "Wichita. "Hutchinson- at Webb T?ity."" Leavenworth at Springfield. Topeka cornea Home In fourth place but don't worry. With Joplin back on the home ground one "game will be all that is needed to change positions and the other three will do to cinch the hold onto third place. With Okla homa and Wichita following it will be but little trouble to climb the ladder still higher. Oklahoma Post: Up to yesterday's game, Manager WcFarland was bat ting at a .500 clip. He drove out three hits In four times up "yesterday, and any one of the hits would have won the game, as each of them scored a run. His average Is now .540. The JopHn teams opens up a series of four games with the White Sox at the local park this afternoon. Joplin has a formidable team this year. At the opening of the season they did not make much of a showing but to wards the close of the second week Armstrong began to get his team started. Only last week before the series with the Champs they succeeded In trouncing Wichita three out of four games. Most of the lineup of the team is well known here in Topeka, having played here last season on dif ferent teams. Behind the bat are to be found Vanderhill and Captain Louis Armstrong who is the manager of the team. Dick Rohn, for several season with Sedalia and last season with Webb City, holds down the initial sack for the Miners. Johnnie Tillman who has played for several years In the Westorn association is now playing second. Fleming, a new man from Chicago, holds down the third station, while Sylvester Olson, a brother of Our Ole.f and himself a former mem ber of tlui White Sox. plays short. Abner Persch. better known as Dutch, cavorts around In the left sun patch while Harrington, last year with Leavenworth, plays center field. Fill man formerly played right field until Vaughan. who was holding down sec ond base, wns sold to Leavenworth. It Is probable that Fillman will be sent back to right field and that Walter Queisser will be placed on second base. Queisser has not been In good pitching form for some time but should make a good second baseman. He is a good hitter and a good pinch hitter. Arm strong always has his men up and go ing from the start of the game and a game between the two teams will be well worth the money at any time. Oklahoma Post: Wichita Is probably the hardest losing team In the associa tion. With but little hope of winning yesterday's game. Holland's men kept plying the umpire with objections to minor decisions. j Walter Queisser, who is now playing second base for the Joplin team, has just returned from Indianapolis -where he was summoned by the call of the stork. When he returned to Joplin he was presented with a handsome peram bulator by- the members xif .the., Joplin taam; v jrv j ij The White Sox arrived on the Santa this morning. The Joplin team also accompanied theirt, One of the results of the trip which looks encouraging Is the batting of Runkel. The former Omaha player Is getting his two and three hits every game which has been pleasant news to his friends. Runkel is one of the quiet est players on the team but he is also one of the most popular. It can truly be said that he is without a peer on the third statiop in this circuit, not even Hetling of Wichita or our friend. Dr. Jason of Hutchinson being except ed. Pee wee Jones saved Topeka from a shutout at the hands of Joplin yester day. He put the ball over the fence for a home run, the first he has secured this season. Oklahoma City, Ok., June 12.

This will result in the payment of all of the outstanding bonds ong before the timber covered ty the mortgage has been exhausted, without taking into account any security afforded by the value of the saw mills and other property included under the h'en of the mortgage. The net earnings (profits) of The Long-Bell Lumber Company for the year ending January 1, 1907, after crediting stumpage account $4.00 per thousand feet, were $2,330,488.25, over two and onehalf times the largest annual payment of principal and interest.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1907. AN APOLOGY Last week was the biggest week this store ever experienced. When we say biggest we mean that the volume of business done was far greater than any week in the history of our business. Far greater than any week's business ever done by our predeces sor. The crowd was so great we could hardly wait on them, and to those who did not get the proper at tention we wish to apologize. We engaged all the extra help we could and our en- tire force was kept busy from 7 :30 a. m. until 6 p .m. This week we will be better prepared to wait on those who were unable to be served, and we ask your kind indulgence try again. v To those contemplating making purchases here this week, we kindly ask as many as possible to come in the forenoon, as the afternoons will be crowded. Yours, commercially, john i. ELLET HENRYC' SUCCESSORS TO FITWELL shoe store 515 Kansas Avenue MARKETSJODAY. Coverings by Shorts Causes Firmness in Wheat. Scarcity of Offerings Keeps the Business Down. LIVE STOCK TKADE. Cattle Quoted Steady to Ten Cents Lower. Hogs Also Off About Ten Cents Per Hundred. Chicago. June 12. WHEAT Covering by fchorts caused firmness in the local wheat market today, despite lower cables and continued favorable weather in this coun try and Canada fof the growing crop. Trading was not of large volume owing to a comparative scarcity of offerings. September opened c lower to '4c higher, at S5&s'Sc. and sold at 9ii'4c. Minneapolis, I'uluth and Chicago reported rect-ipis of .3 cars. Selling by longs and for short account caused a severe break in the market dur ing the last half of the session. Heavy lines of wheat were thrown on the mar ket bv several local traders and they forced the price of September down more than 3 cents from the high- point of th d;4y. The close was very weak and at the low mark of the session. September clos ed a; 2Va93c. which was 2ft27c below yesterday's close. CORN The corn market was firm be cause of a good demand from cash houses. Offerings were light and came from scat tered sources. Sf-ptember opened unchang ed to c lowtr, at 53S53c, and sold up to R3c. Prices eased off in sympathy with wheat September declining to a27e. The close was easy with September down 'j'Uc, at oaoc. OATS Oats were firm in sympathy with other grain. Trading was light. Sep tember opened a shade lower to 5c higher, at 35ft.'i5c. and for a time htld with!n that range. PROVISIONS Provisions were weak with prices sharply lower, owing to lib eral profit taking by leading longs. Large receipts of hogs at western packing cen teis contributed to the Tveakness. Sep tember pork was off HSSc. at $15.so3 16.02. Lard was down 5'&7Vsc to 17a"uc, at $S.75f S.S7. Ribs were 5tvT7c lower, at $S.60W$.72. WHEAT Cas-h: No. 2 red.

The Asahi's corres pondent at Washington reported an attack upon a Japanese horticulturist at Berkesley, Cal., resulting In the de struction of a greenhouse and other property. This has fanned the flame of Indignation already strong here and has served to confirm the popular be lief that violence of the kind is not ac cidental, but the result of a deeply rooted feeling against the Japanese.

Orchard on Cross-Ex aniination in Haywood Trial Adds One More to His Already Long List of Crimes. H THE WONDER OF ALL. He Is Regarded' as a Host Re markable Witness. Every Effort to.nPunctnre His Evidence Has. Failed. Boise, Idaho, June 12--Harry Orchard calm and self-possessed, begins this morning the seventh day of his exami nation on the chapters of his latkr life, which beginning with petty social of fenses, led on through a maze of fear ful crime to the penitentiary and shad ow of the gallows. For six days, judge, jury, lawyersv "newspaper men and spec tators have listened? to this auto- recital that, runs the gamut of evil doing until mere murder' has become commonplace and wholesale assassina tion barely enough to cause sensation in the crowded court room. So far no-subtle trap laid by counsel accustomed to -lure -a, witness to con tradiction, has caught Orchard in ma terial contradiction of his original nar ration. r He is willing to tell everything he has done; to give the- closest detail detail so minute that some, differenca seems inevitable when It is retold, but not once has this difference been suf ficient to give his cross-examiner hope that he can impeach the witness by showing contradiction. Counsel for de fense themselves say1 that their associ ate who -has taken; upon,- himself the task of cross-examination is baffled at times by the directness and absolute cohesion of Orchaid's replies. They are not plow to pronounce Orchard the most remarkable wjtress they have ever seen and even say that he is possioiy the most peculiar psychological study ever offered for the dissection or a cross-examiner. Suggestion of Coaching. The suggestion has been made that the man is coached for the ordeal. Warden Whitney of the penitentiary, laughs at the idea. He too, after watch ing Orchard for over 12 months pro- jounces him as far beyond his ken, not withstanding his Intimate knowledge of the character of criminals. Orchard, h says, has not talked for 15 minutes about hi3 examination with any one since he first went on the stand. He spends his time alone iwhen not asleep or eating, thinking or reading. Orchard is brought in, from the peni tentiary every morning, and is taken to the office of Js W. Hawley, leading counsel for the.state. TDetectives and trusted deputies guard every entrance. A remaikable, feature, or the cross- examination has been" the freedom al lowed by the prosecution to counsel for the defense. Objections are seldom made. Mr. Richardsons" questions are frequently misleading. ,bllt this brings no protest. Mr. HMKley's objections are more frequently ovej ruled than sus tained.' Judge fWoodT?fS. evidently de termined to give every latitude In the examination ot Orchard and to allow every detail of the story to go beforo the jury. The cross-examination of Orchard has been carried in Such extraordinary detail and so much time has been con sumed by threshing the same straw over and over again .that there is rea son to .believe Richardson hopes to wear the witness down. When court adjourned yesterday Or chard was starting for Canon City, Col., for the ptjrpose of assassinating former Governor Peabody. Afternoon Session. At the afternoon session, Richard son took a new tack and asked Or chard a long series of questions as to where and how much Billy Ackerman paid to have his teeth fixed. The wit ness declared he did not know whether Ackerman had his teeth fixed at a dental college or not. He said he knew Ackerman got money to have his teeth attended to and spent most of It. It was presumed to be Richardson's pur pose to show that Orchard. Adams and Ackerman had little money the winter of 1904-05. After exhausting the subject of Ackerman's teeth. Attorney Richard son returned to the Peabody affair. He carefully carried the witness over the planting of the first bomb In the snow at the corner of Thirteenth street and Grant avenue. This was about Jan uary 1, 1905. Orchard denied that he was In a plot to trap Max Mehalich Into com mitting the murder. Orchard also denied that he was offered ,4100 to murder a business rival of Mehalich. The first bomb was placed at about 8 o'clock in the morning by Steve Adams and Orchard. They drove up in a livery rig to the corner and Or chard planted the bomb. There were 25 or 30 pounds of powder In the bomb. They did not plant it at night. Orchard said, because they were afraid of its freezing.- Richardson carried the witness into an expert disquisition on the art of making bombs. First Try at Peabody. Orchard and Adams were to pull the wire as Governor Peabody passed the place where the Infernal machine was buried. This wire was strung to a point about a block away and had to pass In front of an alley. Orchard and Adams Etood where they could see Governor Peabody as he came out. This was the instance when Just as the governor passed the bomb two coal wagons came out of the alley and drove over the wire. The two assas sins saw it would be useless to pull Have your Shirts made No Tear, No Swear No Worry, No Flurry Coat Shirts cuffs attached, cost no more than ready made shirts. 1.50 to 9S.OO Capital Shirt Factory 7th and Jackson the wire od even, if they could have done ,so .the drivers of. the wagons as well as several other-persons passing at the time would have seen them. Orchard said he could not, tell whether the wagons were loaded, or not. After -the failure of the attempt the quest of Peabody was temporarily abandoned. This was just before Pea body was succeeded by Governor Adam. Orchard declared he got the money directly either from Haywood or Moy er during the winter of 1904-5. There was an arrangement, he said that Adams should draw the moneys from Pettibone. Haywood participated in the arrangement.. As to Moyer, Or chard said he did not see him all win ter.. Richardson asked Orchard If he had not tried to get Max Mehalich, a man of good reputation in Denver; into a plan to blow up a boarding house full of "scabs" in Globeville. "No sir," replied Orchord. "Max Mehalich tried to get me into it. He suggested it." v And what did you say? Orchard Was Willing. 'I said I'd try to help him" do it." He did not ask Mehalich for any money whatever. Mehalich, accord ing to Orchard, said the "scabs" were driving him out of business and lie wanted-them done away with. If any body asked you to dynamite a person you were ready to go right in on it." "No sir. not everybody." 7 "Did you ever try to collect a life insurance policy on a man said to been drowned near Toronto, Canada?" "No sir," replied Orchard positively. Mr. Richardson did not pursue the subject. Returning to the scab board ing house at Globeville, Orchard said he had talked to Haywood about the proposed dynamiting and was told not to do it. That ended the matter. Mr. Richardson next devoted him self to the proposed assassination of Frank Hearne of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. Attorney Rich ardson asked Orchard if he had not heard and real or. a debate between Haywood and Hearne before a state senate, committee. The attorney in response ts an -objection from the prosecution, said the question was in tended to show that it was entirely possible for Orchard to have learned what Haywood had said of Hearne to the latter's face, rather than to have heard It from Haywood himself. The question was allowed and Orchard said he knew Haywood was at the capitol frequently but he did not know what he was doing there. Then Richardson took another track: 1 Where did you get your fresh meat while you and Steve Adams lived at Globeville?" Sometimes at 'Max "Mehalich's." As a matter of fact weren't you so hard up you stole meat from tne stock yards?" He Stole Sheep. "We'd go over and get a sheep sometimes at night," replied Orchard, amid laughter. And you didn t have any money? "Yes we did." "Then you found it easier to go over and steal a sheep than to go down and make Haywood 'cough up?" "It was not very hard to do either." Orchard said he was drawing sup plies from the miners' strike relief fund at the time he was being paid for crime. "Now will you tell the Jury why you did this?" J'Yes sin I will," replied the witness, ''Mover. Haywood, Parker and Davis told me to' take the supplies as other wise ped'ple would want to know where I got the money to live on. Orchard said the Gabbert and Hearne clots gave way for lack of opportunity to score against Goddard. Asked why he wanted to kill Goddard, Orchard said it was because Haywood told him to. Haywood said Goddard was against the eight hour law and helped to upset it. Richardson wanted to know if it was not a fact that Judge Goddard had not taken his seat on the supreme court bench at the time of the plot. "All I know is that he had been ap pointed some time before by Governor Peabody." the witness repnea. Orchard said that Mrs. Steve Adams accompanied him and her husband when they stalled Goddard at his home. '"How was she armed?" he was asked. "She wa not armed; she went along as a blind.' Once more the line of Richardson's Questioning led back to Globeville. Or chard said he and Joe Mehalich had stolen some powder to blow up the hotel or boarding house as suggested by Max Mehalich. The powder was not used. Mehalich, Orchard said, had helped steal sheep and was to take part in the God dard affair. Quarreled With Adams. Richardson wanted to know if Steve Adams had not threatened to put Or chard out because he could not pay his board bill.' "No, sir. We quarreled." "Yes, and it was about your board bill, too." sneered Richardson. "It was nothing of. the sort," retorted Orchard with a flash of anger. "It was because Adams had gone down town, got drunk and was put in jail for a week. We couldn't find him anywhere." Adams had been found drunk near a lamp post where a bicycle was standing. On this circumstantial evidence he was accused of the theft of the wheel, but the charge was removed. Orchard said he gave Adams $20 to get him out of town. This was because Haywood would not give Steve any more money to get drunk on. Adams and Orchard parted company for a while after this. The latter con tinued to seek an opportunity to des troy Judge Goddard. Richardson brought a new figure into the case by asking Orchard with re gard to his acquaintance with Ixttle Day. The witness said he met the wo man after going to live at the Hotel Kelmont following his break with Ad ams. Before he could "get" Goddard he said that Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone all three told him to go down to Carson City to continue hist attempts on Pea body. The arrangement was made at Meyer's home, mis was tne first .time Orchard had brought Moyer into the case for a long, while. Orchard was about to go into the de tails of the conversation with Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone when court ad journed until this morning at 9:30 o'clock. MUST DRIVE ON RIGHT SIDE.

The contestants were Mitshell, professor of mathetics at the university, and Otto Brown, manager of the university ches club. The latter won. A large crowd gathered to see this first exhibition of open-air chess. A white sheen, in which big squares had been cut, was tightly stretched and pegged upon the ground.

The news la received n The Wat rial building over wires for this sola pur pose. About time to get ready for a safe nd sane Fourth of the usual brand. It looks as though Grant Hornaday is making a strong bid for th square Deal support. Kurokl gave out $400 worth of tips In Chicago, but they were not of the kind that reporters like to get. Steve Adams evidently does not in tend to try to prove that he is a bigger criminal than Harry Orchard. -xt M. Murdock speaks of Governor Hughes as a "political hypno tist." That is letting the governor off Steve Adams says Harry Orchard is a liar. As Orchard has confessed to the "same thing, they do not appear to be far apart in this statement. Reports from Leavenworth indicate that druggists are entering upon a per iod of increased prosperity since the saloons over there have been closed. Speaking of false hopes, the lee man thnueht he had all summer and half the winter coming his way last March and here summer did not really begin till June. Although the assessor at Wichita could find only 36 of them, that town claims to have 150 automobiles. Tet automobiles are not supposed to be good at dodging. Eastern editors will very likely con tinue to call Kansas "the cyclone state" in spite of the efforts of Mr.' C&burn and the Illinois zephyrs to 'educate them out of the habit. The name of the Madrid royal baby has been put on the roll of a crack Spanish regiment. Was it necessary to enlarge the roll In order to get his name on? Or was some of It omitted? Grant Hornaday points out that he is not only for a direct primary and other good measures now, but he was for them before the last ca'mpalgn, which Is a matter not to be overlooked. Count Boni is to have another chance. That is, there is to be a rehearing of Anna Gould's divorce case and he will probably seize the opportunity to try to get hold of a few of the Gould dol lars. When city officials nc longer have street car passes but have to pay fare the same as people of the common or garden variety, perhaps a place in the city government will not have the at tractions It has at present. It has turned out that young Stuyvesant Fish went to New York to attend his sister's wedding before going to Salina. and that he will eventually reach the latter place. Salina girls can therefore cease to worry about his non appearance. It Is pointed out that Kansas has thirteen bankers but no editors In Its penitentiary, while the state has three editors and only one banker in congress. This may be taken by some as a point In favor of the editors, but it all de pends on how you regard congress. Almost every day the newspapers tell of some one getting hurt playing base ball. In fact, the number of baseball accidents In the course of the season is quite as large as the number that happen on the football field, but there Is no demand for a revision of the rules. It Is said that the jingo element in Japan Is small. This may be true, but it Is very noisy. Still the anti-Japanese crowd in America Is almost Infinitesi mal, but It appears to be large enough to make a great deal of trouble. The Jingoes of each country should be re quired to get together and fight it out, and leave the rest of us in peace. Circumstantial evidence has again miscarried. A man at Medicine Lodge last week boozed up a little, went into a soft drink parlor and stretched out on a sofa and slept. His mother, wife and sister hunted for him, found him, and proceeded to smash the soft drink bottles In the place. The Joint where be really bought the stuff escaped. Now It Is asserted that the cruel war In Ohio Is over and everything Is lovely and the goose hangs high; whose goose Is not stated. It is alleged that the Taft crowd will not fight Foraker's re-election, and of course Foraker was already beaten In his opposition to Taft. In, this connection It Is Interesting to rote that a Taft boomer from Cleveland who was in Kansas recently, "looking- up tho sit uation," declared that It Is not the de- Ire of the friends of Congressman The odore E. Burton to run Mm against Foraker for senator next winter, but rather return -Burton, to the lower house and offer him as a candidate for Uncle Joe Cannon's job- as speaker.- Bur ton stands so well at home that the op position did not put up a candidate against him last year. THE INHERITANCE TAX IDEA. In outlining his views concerning an Inheritance tax before the National Edi torial association at Jamestown Mon day. President Roosevelt went further than he ever has before and demonstra ted that It Is his Idea to use this means to prevent the accumulation of such great fortunes as Rockefeller. Carnegie and some others possess. The Populists some of them used to assert that the rich are growing richer while the poor are becoming poorer, and that the time would come when a few rich men would own nearly all the wealth. The Industrious poor have not been growing poorer In these latter days of prosperity, but the wealth of the enormously rich has been Increas ing so rapidly that their great fortunes have become an actual menace to the nation. President Roosevelt has therefore devised this Inheritance tax Idea or "borrowed" It perhaps to keep down the growth of these excessive fortunes and to disseminate them in case they do become excessive. He would have the tax progressive, that is, the per centage growing larger as the fortune becomes greater, but he does not state exactly where he would draw the line between the different classes. He does point out, however, where the lines are drawn In some European countries, in Great Britain, for instance, inherit ances of less than $5,000 are practically exempt from taxation, but from that point up the tax increases until It Is 18 per cent on a fortune of $5,000,000 under certain conditions, or almost one- fifth of the whole. Fortunes of that size are by no means rare In this coun trv. In France, if a fortune of $10,- 000.000 is bequeathed to a distant rela tive, two millions of the amount would go to the government for taxes. In the rate of progression Is even greater. The president would have the rate small on the lower figures, but he makes It evident that he would increase it to upwards of 100 per cent as the figures Increase. This, he points out, would practically prohibit excessive inherit ances without being confiscatory oi those of more moderate size. For Instance, the first $10,000 might be exempt. From that to iou,uwi mignt be taxed a small fraction. On the next $900,000 the tax should be larger. This would allow an inherit ance of a million aoiiars witnuui n burdensome tax. On that portion of the inheritance that is between one and five millions the tax might te made 5 per cent; between five and ten millions, 10 per cent; between ten and twenty millions, 25 per cent; between twenty and fifty millions, 50 per cent; between fifty and one hundred millions 75 per' cent; and above one hundred millions. 90 per cent; a -r On a scale of this kind the tax on an Inheritance or a minion uuuara would be small; that on a 5 million dollar estate would be a little over $200,000; on 10 millions it would be little over $700,000; on 25 million it would be $3,200,000; on 50 millions, $18, 200,000, and on 100 millions the tax would amount to nearly half, or $45, 700,000; while on a fortune of the sup posed size of John D. Rockefeller's, i half billion, the tax would amount to $405,700,000, so that the heirs would In herit a little lees than 100 millions, oraetlcally limiting fortunes to that size. A plan of this kind, as the president points out, would not tend to suppress thrift and Industry, for there would still be an Incentive to accumulate a moderate fortune. It would, however, remove to a great degree the incentive to build up an excessive fortune. The result would naturally be that men would cease striving to pile up wealth after they have accumulated a few millions, but would use It for the bene fit of their fellows. If they should keep on amassing great wealth, most of the excess would eventually revert to the people by means of the Inheritance tax. This plan would work no hardship. for it Is a well known fact that ex cessive fortunes frequently ruin those who inherit them. AS EDITOR'S DUTY. Out at Garden. City a few days ago a gambler assaulted George B. Harrison, editor of the Telegram at that place, for publishing certain facts about the gam bler in connection with a news story concerning an atetmpted suicide. Mr. Harrison is a son of T. W. Harrison, of Topeka, and Is well known here. Tak ing this Incident as a text, Henry Allen takes occasion to make a few remarks about a newspaper's duty to its readers, In which he says: "Out at Garden City the editor of the Evening Telegram was assaulted Sat urday with a coupling pin by a gam bler. A young man of the town had lost his money to the gambler and had attempted suicide. The editor of the Telegram came near to following in the footsteps of the reckless young man by printing the story and using the gam bler's name. The most foolish man in the cast was the gambler, who laid in wait for an editor. A gambler cannot kill-an editor with a coupling pin, be cause an editor is a righteous man and coupling pins do not hurt him. Men who get caught at some grave form of cuss edness have a strange notion about the duty of a newspaper. The people who pay ten cents a week for the Garden City Evening Telegram have some rights. They have a right to expect that the paper will print the facts about matters of human Interest and the municipal civilization. The editors who fail to do this rightfully lose the respect of their readers. A newspaper engages with its readers as a plain business con tract to print the news. When It fails to do this it violates a contract, and works a confidence game on its patrons. The editor who gets slugged for print ing facta is unfortunate, but he has the warm consolation of knowing In the language of Bret Harte.- that "he seen his duty and done it.' The Garden City editor escaped with a few bruises, while the gambler is in jail for assault with Intent to kill." JOURNAL ENTRIES Not hearing any unusual amount of crying from that direction, we judge the Alphonsos manage to keep the colic and Alphonso, Jr., separate. Speaking of nature faking, perhaps, that is wHat ailed Bill Doollttle when he told about the things he saw the last time he got on a spree and naa 'em In his boots. m m a If there is any crime in the calendar that Harry Orchard hasn't confessed to. it must be an oversight. There be two things that are dan gerous; yea, three there are that be risky and full of peril: tickling a mule's heel, blowing into a gun that isn't loaded, and playing horse with a fed eral court. My Bon, avoid these calami ties. t It is always somebody else's dog that Is a worthless cur. Yours Is always a valuable family pet. JAYHAWKER JOTS Smith Center rejoices to report that its dog population is decreasing. The old settlers of Edwards county are meeting at Kinsley this week to do some more settling, picnic fashion. Editorial notice in the El Dorado Republican: "Hereafter fish stories sent to this office will not be printed unless accompanied by at least one fish." The Clay Center Times claims to have had 1,031 personals In its issue last week. Which" leads Tom Cordry to think that Clay Center people must be considerably on the gad. If the lightning bug keeps up the multiplicity lick, started by other bugs in Kansas this year, says the Wichita Eagle, they will be so thick that the old settlers can read by them. Editor Satterwalte. of the Douglass Tribune, is glad to report that a bene ficent subscriber of his has a straw berry patch that was not completely wrecked by the frost, and "ye editor" was favored accordingly. Two bright Winchester boys made considerable money the day before the red can law went into effect, by canvassing the town with a can of red paint and a brush and making all the gasoline cans conform to the law. J. W. Berry has the most patriotic old sow in Jewell county, according to the Jewell Republican. She has farrowed one litter of pigs on Thanks giving day, one litter on Christmas day and one litter on Decoration day. Rev. Mr. Travers, of Cottonwood Falls, Is a versatile individual appar ently. The street cars that run by mule power over to Strong City have been repainted. The art critic of the Leader pronounces them beauties and the handwork of Rev. Travers. who Is an artist in that line." Speaking of bravo men, A. L. Shetterly of Pratt county saw a skunk fight on his farm last week. After a long struggle one skunk buried his teeth deep In the other s breast. Mr. Shetterly couldn't see the cruelty go on, so ha took a club and killed both of them. But it was a risky thing to do. v lctor aiuraocKs "Remarks of a Retired Politician: Few men are as partisan in thought as they are In speech Every newspaper editor has the experience after a campaign of nnaing that tne opposition considered him abusively unfair and his own side believed that he lacked vigor.. A politician away from home is apt talk more about, his control than he does at home...;. A strong man's en emies are never so antagonistic to one another that they can not combine against him. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. J Beware of mad doffs and backbiting people. It's useless to forgive an Injury if you can t forget it. There are many large tales connect ed with small fish. And a good looking detective isn't necessarily a good looker. When some people tell the truth others are unable to recognize it. At this season of the year the best game preserve is a refrigerator. Love is apt to make a fool of a man. but most men are willing to take chances. Some men are so nice to their wives that it arouses the suspicion of the neighbors. The peace crop will probably be a failure this year. This does not apply to the summer girl. It doesn't necessarily follow that a man is any good just because ne s as good as his word. There are lots of dead ones In every community who are not doing their duty by the undertaker. Of course it is absent-mindedness when you forget, but it's gross negli gence when your wife forgets. About being carried away with en thusiasm the worst feature is that we nearly always have to walk back. Never judge a man by the patches on his clothes. Perhaps he had to buy spring outfits for a wife and seven daughters. Don't place too much confidence in man who boasts of being as honest as the day is long; wait until you meet him at night. QUAKER HEFl.ECTIONa. From the Philadelphia Record. Relatively speaking the talkative mother-in-law. Man poses, the Investigating com mittee exposes. The bookseller shouldn't have much use for a bookkeeper. It's when you are paying for an automobile by the hour that It is sure to get stuck. The fellow who is always on pleas ure bent is- apt sooner or later to be on pleasure broke. Judging from the loudness of some men's attire, they must think the rest of the world is deaf. Newlywed "Why don't you get married?" Oldbach "Why should I get married? I've got trouble enough with my automobile." The Undertaker "I wish I could think of some scheme to Increase my business." The Doctor "Why don't you go into the automobile business as a side line?" Wlgg "Scribbler's fiction shows lack of Imagination." Wagg "Oh, I don't know. He once wrote a story about a poet who was held up and rob bed of $1.50." 1 KANSAS COMMENT THE PLAN. Pennsylvania has launched the boom of Senator Knox for the presi dency. He will be entirely satisfac tory to the railroads and corporations- Under the "favorite son" policy, backed by the powerful Pennsylvania machine, he will probably have the solid Pennsylvania delegation, and when it appears that he can not be nominated, that delegation will sup port a conservative for" president. The delegation will probably obey the com mands of Senator Penrose. It will be against any man who stands for the Roosevelt policies. If Illinois should support Cannon, a delegation In sym pathy with his ideas will be chosen, and it will be against the Roosevelt policies. Cannon has co-operated with the president because he thought it was expedient to. do so during the last congress, not because he believes in any of the policies which Roosevelt has brought so conspicuously to the front, and if he could aid in eliminat ing Roosevelt and his ideas from the politics of this country he would do so. If Cannon controls the Illinois delega tion It will never be for Taft, probably not for Hughes, and certainly not for La Follette., He probably would not support Foraker or Fairbanks, but wouia support some candidate that the ranroaas could depend on and who naa a record that would appear as favorably as nosslhle to the annnnrtcru me presiaent. ine resolutions that the national convention will pass, even if the re actionaries control the meeting, will be laudatory in the highest terms of me presiaent. They will follow the example of the Kansas state machine, which killed every measure that the people wanted, and then after the leg islature had adjourned, began to pass resolutions In favor of all the things that it had killed. With these resolu tions as the basis, the machine crowd in this state will endeavor to fool the people into nominating them again so mat tney may prevent any popular legislation by the next legislature, the same as they did in the last. Penrose will control the Pennsylvania delega tion inrougn jtnox. The Kansas ma chine hopes to control this delegation through Taft. If Illinois and Penn sylvania are both solid against Taft he will not be nominated. Then the machine delegates from Kansas will join with Foraker, Penrose and Can non and select a man that the railroad lawyers aesire. salina Journal. can't Imagine it. 'Those who imagine that it is only the president's favor which makes Taft strong before the country," says the Cleveland Leader, "ought to try to im agine what would happen If Mr. Roose velt should swing over to Mr. Fair- banks, for instance, or to Mr. Foraker." But one could not imagine Mr. Roose velt swinging over to Mr. Foraker. Leavenworth TimeB. OF COURSE. The Joint men, of Pittsburg claim that they were not responsible for the arrest or tne two ministers who had been purchasing liquor to be used as evidence. How foolish for anyone to think that they were. Of course it was the church people and prohibi tionists or I'lttsDurg that had the mini sters arrested. Parsons Sun. WHERE IT PAYS. Perhaps one of the reasons Kansas has calmed down- so greatly in the matter of predatory wealth Is because Kansas sees .that -wealth's preying Is directed principally on the chorus. V ichita- Eagle. FROM OTHER PENS JAPAN MISREPRESENTED. Some of us have imagined that we saw in the Increased facilities of communi cation the telegraph and the newspa per, .which permit a constant inter change if ideas between the peoples of distant countries an instrumentality ior preserving peace in the world. It ought to be so. But if newspapers are to give their attention only to annoying trivialtles and the telegraph Is to be oc cupied in reporting petty incidents and the foolish vaporings of irresponsible people, they become an agency of irri tation and disturbances, an internation al nuisance and an international peril, California and Japan are giving us an illustration of this just now. In the pre. vailing disorder In San Francisco, where rowdyism has held sway and no man's person or prODertv was secure some hoodlums threw stones through the win dows of a Japanese restaurant. A few years ago nobody would have paid tho least attention to such an occurrence, and it would not have been heard of in Japan except through the slow chan nel of a consular report, which would not have been published. But now the cable carries the news of the "outrage" to the yellow Journals of Tokio which ere among the yellowest on earth and Count Okuma calls upon the govern ment to demand instant apology from the United States. Philadelphia Led ger. THE DICTIONARY AS A DIET. When a man has anything named af ter him he may be said to be reasonably famous. Everybody from St. Louis west knows the Rosslngton cocktail, al though it must not be Inferred from that that everybody drinks It. Rosslngton lives in Topeka.

But the origin of the "national game" is more in dispute than the etymology of the term "fan." The veteran journalist, Henry Chadwick, popularly known as the "father of baseball, who is English-born, con tends that baseball, while an Amer lean sport, had its origin in the game piayett by tne English schoolboy cauea "rounders. "The basic prin clple of both games," Mr. Chadwick argues, "is the use of a bat, a ball and bases." But it Is a.short bat and a sort baa, and the player, on hitting the ball, endeavors to make a circuit a round of all the bases in our vocabulary, a home run. As a clencher, Mr. Chadwick says that, when debat ing the question with Albert G. Spald ing, there entered the room a devotee of sport, Andrew Peck, whose name coupled with that of his partner, Snyder, was known to most American boys of twenty years ago in connec tion with the popular style of ice skates. "When did you begin to play base ball?" inquired Mr. Spalding. "In the latter part of the forties,' replied Mr. feck, "about 1847 or 1848." "What was the game called then? "Why, 'rounders,' said Mr. Peck. But to this day, Mr. Spalding, proud Yanlcee to the core. Is unconvinced. Undoubtedly the foreign taint in base ball bothered him not a little for a time, but he disposed of it to his sat isfaction in the spring of 1889, when he visited Liverpool, after a tour of the British colonies, with the Chicago ana Ail-American baseball teams, Throughout the trip English subjects had chided him with the antecedent of the American national game, so he issued a challenge to the champion rounder club of Great Britain, which wag promptly accepted. By the terms of the agreement, the British cham pions were to play a one-Inning rounder match (two innings make a full game) with a team of eleven men picked from the American "baseball- ers," as the Englishmen called them and then there was to a five-inning game or baseball. As "feeder" (pitch er) for his "eleven," Mr. Spalding was given a leather-covered sphere about the size of a golf ball and rath er soft. The rounder batsman faced him with a miniature cricket bat "a cross between a potato-masher and a penholder." A high ball was "fouled as the Yankees called It but the referee declared It a fair hit, and as the batter made a circuit of the four boundary posts before the ball was re covered, he scored four runs. The next batsman repeated the trick, and there was a total of eight runs to the credit of tho Englishmen. Then "feeder"Spalding resorted to low balls close to the batsman's body, and only three more runs were made before the eleven British champions were put out, and the inning was over. These last runs resulted from the failure of an American to hit one of the cham pions with the ball, as the rules per mit. In their half of the inning, the Yankees were Inclined at first to try to "line out" the ball, and the results were disastrous. But soon they got the hang of batting with one hand. and scored eight runs before the cloven men were retired. This left them three runs behind. The baseball game was an entirely different story. Three Englishmen struck out, and then the Americans went to bat. Thirty-five men crossed the plate, and still the elde had not been retired. Because of physical ex haustion both teams were content that the match be declared off. Thus the first inning in the baseball game was never finished; yet the score stood 35 to 0 In fa-or of the Americans. Henry Beach Needham in Success Magazine. Says She Has Been to Heaven. At last, in language which only her mother can comprehend. Miss Prudence Van Gilder, who has been in a trance for 21 days and who is the talk of central Iowa has opened her Hps and described the .ana of dreams in which she has been living. She is unable to talk perfectly, but uses the deaf and dumb alphabet to arsist her, and tells of a strange "visit to heaven." 'I have been to heaven, said the girl, "and Christ is coming. My first vision was a row of rugged crosses marked 'ith my new name. The cross es looked heavy, but when I started to lift one an angel came to my assist ance and the cross was light. 'I saw throngs of riders on white horses with golden banners, coming over the hills of heaven as far as I could see. I saw 12 kinds of trees, with 12 kinds of strange, beautiful fruit, hanging in great pink and purple clus ters. I ate some of it from an apple tree and was given the understanding of the Bible such as I never before knew. 'Then I began to teach the Bible to groups of savages dressed in smelly gaudy rags.

(By Martha McCulloch-Williams.) I came here to ninv r am a H.va Elspeth said, smiling wickedly at Hin- uu" ne toiiea arter her up the steep and narrow steps that led to a railed platform, weather beaten but still sound and weight-worthy, set in the low branches of a slant oak.

And he did not deny to himself he was in love, and with tne Dit of quicksilver he was so pain fully following. li-m! I seem to remember- that aryaas were not always all they should be," he said, sitting down, so ponder ously the branches quivered. Elspeth laughed softly. "You are to have a reward for coming up with me. I tdore stories. You may tell me one instead of writing it. The vvery best story of them all." "Imposlble!" Hindon said gravely "Don't you know there are but seven stories in the world, .and six of them unfit for ladies? That leaves only one. I had much rather lie it than tell it." "No! You must tell It," Elspeth said, decisively. "Begin! This is mucn better fun than private thea tricals X tell you I can't begin. The story hhs io Degin itseir." windon interrupt- ea. Again Elspeth laughed. "At least you can say now it begins," she mur mured. Hindon smothered a growl. "I can tell you what It takes to make a story," he said. "First, of course tnere's a girl "That's me." Elspeth interjected. Hindon nodded. "And a man in love with her "That fits you," Elspeth said, in corrigibly. Hindon flushed in spite of iiimseii ana Dit nis lip, but somehow kept his voice gay as he ran on: "And an obstacle any sort, some sort. The obstacle, you know, is what really makes the story." "Dear me! What what a pity!" Elspeth said. "Yet I quite under stand but for the obstacles the sweet hearts would have to marry right at the start and live happy ever after I think yes. I'm sure the obstacle is looming up. See! Jack Delany is get ting down at the steps." "A plague on him on all Delanys everywhere." Hindon becan. Klsneth shook her head at him, saying: "How ungrateful. You said there had to be an obstacle. Could you ask a more proper one than Jack?" "No! That's Just the trouble," Hin don admitted. "You might easily fall in love with Jack if I were not In his way." "I believe he has cast you for the obstacle role," Elspeth said, demurely. yet- with dancing eyes. "You don't piay iair not in the least," she went on. "I asked you for a storv and here I'm making up one for you "You've reduced it to Its lowest terms anyway I don't like It," Hin don broke in. his chin in the air, the light of battle In his eye. He saw Jack Delany saunterina- toward the oak. his hat in one hand, the other swinging his ivory-mounted crop. Jack was a youth of parts, rich, well bred and dis gustingly good to look at. Moreover, he was new until a month back Elspeth had never seen him. Hindon had discovered the real Elspeth at about the same distance of time when he had come down to World's End for silence. and a measure of solitude. After years of struggle his latest book naa nit the public hard. He wanted Its successor to go abroad. Then, Just when the opening- of it was fairly In mind, he had dined at the dean house and fallen under Elspeth's spell. There had been a week of rebellion, then submission to the inevitable. He had had a conceit of knowing women- kind, also the verb to love, in all its moods and tenses. Elspeth had shown him how greatly he was mistaken. Hindon had a way with him that most women had found irresistible. After a surfeit of sweets one relishes a whole some bitter. Elspeth's artless Joy over his subjugation had not misled him Into thinking she was to be had for the asking. He nad two minds about her, one curiously aloof, wholly de tached, ever noting the effect of un likely conquest upon a nature girlish ly vain and human, and marshaling its impressions as for future reference; another palpitantly masculine and pos sessive, alert to win and keep her against all comers. Now the virile impulse dominated him. As Jack came within hail, Hln don swung himself to the head of the steps, clutched a hand upon the rails at either side, and half shouted: Jack, I'm a life saver. You can't come up!" "Can't eh! Why not?" Jack demand ed. moving forward. Oh! Because you're quite too good- looking, and much too vain so vain this cranky structure would never bear he welgnt of it. Hlndcn flung back at him, settling himself more firmly In his seat. Jack laughed heartily. I m coming! Look out!" he admonished, making a dash for the stair-foot. As he touched it, Hindon looked down with twinkling eyes to cay: "Remember Thermopylae! Behold me, a new Leonldas, holding the pass!" "Hang Thermopylae and all those other sissy games," Jack said with frank scorn. "I tell you. there's no scaring a fellow that's been through streight football So I perceive," Hindon said, his twinkle broadening. He turned half about to glance at Elspeth. She was sitting very straight her hand clinch ed hard on the book In her lap. the ghost of a dimple flickering In one cheek. The estate in life wherein Just now she found herself was clearly not displeasing to her. Cautiously she peep ed over the edge of the platform, and said to Jack halting below It: "I wisn you would come up, Mr. Delany. we we Ere making up a story Mr. Hin3on Is going to write It and you can t imagine how fascinating it is." "If I can't imagine it. I can find out," Jack said energetically, stepping back five pac?s to survey the big oak's spread of branches. The branches were broad, and some of them pendulous. Upon the farther side one swaying tip came within six feet of the ground. With a short, running leap Jack caught the tip, felt it slip almost away from him, but managed to keep hold, draw it down and clutch it hand over hand until he came to a place1 that was stout enough to swing upon. Back and forth, tack and forth he clung and swung, until at lart he caught foothold In toward the trunk. Inside three minutes he was sitting upon a branch level with the platform, and but a little way from it, saying, as he lighted a cigarette: "Is this a detective story? You can put me in it as a porch climber or some thing." "You're in it already," Elspeth said, smiling with soft malice. Hindon sat blocking the way down, divided be tween laughing and glowering. "Yes you're in It. all right enough." he said, nodding toward Delany. "Trouble Is to work up a climax that shall leave you out of it altogether." "I won't be left out of the story-" nor anything," Jack cried, laughing gayly, rising and balancing himself as he spoke. It was a perilous undertak ing there on the swaying bough, bui he accomplished it, stood stockstill with folded arms for a breath's space, then leaped lightly to the platform, landing fairly in the middle of it. It was almost twenty feet In air, well stayed betwixt two giant boughs. But the tree, in Its youth had been topped, so down where the boughs parted un e?n'Jun8UBpected' 'here was a blotch, fii ;vnd cankerous, weakening fa tally the sound outer wood.

I From the Atchison Globe. Your dog never bothers anyone. The lover the world loves best Is the son devotedly in love with his mother. A woman thinks a man is awfully reckless if he doesn't do what she ad vises when he is sick. A woman Is never so afraid she can't take care of herself as she likes to make a man believe. It is hard for some men to get a notion in their heads without imagin ing they have "reasoned it out." Watching a boy eat. It is hard to imagine that sc. small an event as a love affair will ever affect his appe tite. Somehow, the average woman feels that she should speak Just a little pleasanter to her pastor than to any one else. Every winter about two-thirds of the young men in town plan to "go west" in the spring, but most of them finally give It up. The average man is so mean that every time he sees a woman having a good time he Is reminded how tha mrii have to slave. The man who has something the matter with him is not the one who knows all the cures; he is th one who hears them all. It is hard for a man who enjoys pet ting up early in the morning to under stand that many people enjoy sleeping at that hour. A man is apt to say: "No one gives me credit," hoping it will start some thing, and it does. People wonder what he has done to deserve credit. The horse that used to "champ the bit and paw nervously" isn't doing nearly so much business In the story papers since the automobile eiitorol a competitor.

Kansas E B GUILD Kansas Ave. MUSIC COMPANY Ave. K m. saHssssssnajk x kiNn am I ed HOLD UP THE SOCIETY. Humane Officer King Charges City With Vnfalrness. Humane Officer K. W. King, of the Foster Humane society, objects to the dog killing system employed by the city as unnecessary. "The city has bragged about the cash collected for dog licenses," said Officer King today, "but failed to state that over $100 of this money came out of the treasury of the humane society. On account of the brutal way in which these dogs are destroyed, the society has attempted to stop the practice by purchasing the dogs at an exorbitant price from the city. The city has ta ken advantage of the society. I think. Heretofore it has been customary to give up a dog for the pound fee of 50 cents when the dog was Ehipped out of town. This administration seems to prefer to slaughter the dogs. We of fered to pay the pound fees of all dogs and guarantee that they would be re moved from the city. The administra tion refused our offer, and when we save a dog from the brutal death awaiting him at the dog pound, we have to pay the city the full price, $2 or $7 for the dog, according to sex. and the pound fees of 50 cents beside. At this rate we have taken out dogs at a great loss. Some of them, valu able dogs, we have disposed of for enough to cover their cost. Others we have given away at a total loss, to persons outside of the city, and a few, which could not be placed in this way, were destroyed in a painless and hu mane manner. A few days ago I offer- uuk caiener I vlt- dog ,n- he Pund- He said the price was J..50 or nothing, and killed the .Hy b"OOUI1 a lew hours later There Is talk of reducing the po lice and fire departments to save mon out there is no talk of reducing tnA finer a,n)ilnj. vanning iurce.

It does look like the city could afford to give these dogs a chance, at least a chance to meet death in a painless manner, for the pound fee, without making the Humane society pay the taxes. When they kill the dog they get nothing for it. and they could get 50 cents for every dog captured by permitting it to live outside the city." W. A. Thompson Xow a Mill Man. Mr. W. A.

The gossip ranged all the way from a comparison of the relative wearing qualities of tho shoes worn by W. R. Stubbs and T. B, Murdock to the philosophy of the Horn aday confession. Finally it turned to transportation and free passes. "This is what I travel on now." said C. L. Davidson of Wichita, producing from his hip pocket a 500-mile bunch of brisrht colored Rock island mileage. "What kind is that?" inquired Mr Stubbs. "It isn't like mine," and Mr. Stubbs dug up a 500 mile book of the blue mileage issued by tne Santa it e "You people are Just trying to make us think that you ride on that stuff In stead of on passes, said Robert btone.

Mr. Davidson referred to Mr. btuDDs as our candidate ior tne unneu duiot W. R. Stubbs, who was in Topeka Tuesday, said in speaking of the re cent Sauare Deal proclamation ot Grant Hornaday; It is quite a victory for Mr, Horna day to come out in this fashion and declare for those things represented by the square deal organization. Mr. Hornaday is a shrewd politician, and a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for governor, and it shows that he realizes where the votes are in Kansas this year." Are you in favor of his plan ror a orimarv next year? "I don't know wnetner tne pian Air. Hornaday proposes could be properly safeguarded. If it could it would be great thing. Asked concerning his senatorial as piration, Mr. Stubbs said: I haven t anything to say." Wlll Mr. Davidson be the square deal candidate for governor?" You can say anything you please bout that" said Mr. Stubbs. "The meeting here was merely to talk matters over. Nothing was de cided upon. We talked over the laws which we believe ought to be enacted in this state, and gossiped about con ditions generally. But there Is no an nouncement ready for the public." Stone "Welcomes" Hornaday. Robert Stone, of Topeka, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate 1 for governor, said concerning the Horn aday statement: "I for one am glad to welcome Mr. Hornaday into the ranks of the squara dealers. He Is a very genial gentleman and a very astute and experienced poli tician. For him to desert the ranks of the machine 'gang and surrender to the square dealers at this time when he is a candidate for governor shows that he knows where the votes are. It is a sign of victory for the principle and measures for which he fought last winter. It means that no man can be nominated for office or chosen as a delegate to the state or national Re publican conventions of 1908 who will not declare himself unequivocally for a rtate wide direct primary, in other words, for the original house bill as egalnst the senate compromise, and for a Rooseveltlan policy throughout. "Of course a mere declaration of principles by these office seekers will not satisfy the people. They will scru tinize a man's past affiliations and if he has for years associated with machine politicians and persistently fought these reforms, he must now be taken on pro bation to see if he has really repented of his evil ways." Murdock Wnnts Xo (Job. T. B. Murdock. who was in Topeki Tuesday to attend the meeting, took occasion to deny that he Is trying to land a Job under the square deal ad ministration. J. W. Robison, of E! Dorado, declared a few days ago that Murdock was fighting Hoch because Hoch did not appoint him to an office, and that if a square dealer should be elected governor to succeed Hoch. Mur dock would fight him unless he secured a Job. "I want to say this." said Murdock, "and that is that I am not a candidate for any Job in the state, and don't exr pect to be. I am for Stubbs, Davidson, Stone or any other good solid square dealer" who may be selected for gover nor, and I will get out and fight harder j for the candidate than anybody. And "That oh that's a pass," confessed Stone as he presented for inspection a Western Association, baseball annual, signed by D. M. Shively, president.

He and his party occupied the private car Magnet which was at tached to the rear of a regular train. The party Included Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Cowles, the wife of Rear Admiral Cowles, Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and Mr. M. C. Latta, one of the assistant secretaries, They will reach Jersey City at 2:46 p. m. and Oyster Bay about 6 o'clock. The president hopes to pass a very quiet summer at Oyster Bay, and ac cording to present plans with probably not more than one exception he will remain there continuously until he leaves for Canton, O., for the unveiling of the McKinley memorial monument on September 3. Mr. Roosevelt appeared in good spirits and chatted with those who had come to the station to say goodbye to him. The latter were Secretaries Root, Garfield, Straus and Cortelyou, Rear Admiral Cowles, Assistant Secretary Bacon and Dr. Rixey. Representative THE COUNTY FEES Mr. Zimmerman Makes State ment Concerning Them. Didn't Write Letter Requesting Holdup of. Salaries. IS NOT YET SETTLED. Insists ConntyTreasnrer Should Make Reports. County Clerk Says He Also Must Turn Oyer Fees. Concerning an article appearing in last Friday's issue of the State Journal concerning the effort of S. G. Zimmer man to compel the county treasurer and the probate Judge to make quarterly reports on the fees collected by them, Mr. Zimmerman has written a letter of explanation to the State Journal under the date of June 8 in which he says that the article in question "reflected most seriously upon the county clerk." "One of the headlines in the article re ferred to" writes Mr. Zimmerman In his letter of explanation, printed in bold faced type, reads: 'Mr. Zimmerman Tried to Hold Up Salaries of Countv Officers,' and In the body of the article appears the following: 'Mr. Zimmerman wrote a letter to the county commission ers suggesting that they hold uo the salaries of the county treasurer and the probate Judge until they reported their rees as ne believed they should do.' In answer to this I quote In full the only letter I ever. wrote to the county com missioners on this subject." Then follows Mr. Zlmemrman's letter which merely calls attention to the fact that the county treasurer and probate Judge had not filed a quarterly report or tne rees collected by them. It was an unintentional error in the article to say that Mr. Zimmerman had written to the county commissioners suggesting that they hold up the sal aries of the county treasurer and the probate Judge until they had reported their fees. Mr. Zimmerman did not write such a letter. But he did appear before the county commissioners in per son and suggested to them orally that they hold up the salaries of the coun ty treasurer and the probate Judge. Kach of the county commissioners re member distinctly that Mr. Zimmerman made this statement to them. J. J. Schenck, the county attorney. was present in the county commis sioners' room when this statement was made by Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Sterne, one of the county com missioners, turned to Mr. Schenck and aeked him what the county commis sioners ought to do and whether they ought to hold up the salaries of the officers In question. Mr. Schenck sug gested that the salaries be paid as usual and said that he would get out an opinion on the subject; In his letter of explanation Mr. Zim merman says that there is no further controversy between himself and the probate Judge on the subject as the county attorney has given an opinion to the effect that the probate- judge does not have -to make reports on .the fees collected -by him. Further on in his letter Mr. Zimmerman says: 'There is a question at Issus between the county clerk and the county treas urer and this question has not been settled, the newspaper article to the contrary notwithstanding, and the county attorney has given no written opinion on the point." About the most charitable thing that can be said concerning this statement of Mr. Zimmerman's is that he has not taken the trouble to inform him self in the premises. Surely a gentle man of his attainments and whose pro fessions of honesty and integrity are known to everyone who has the privi lege of talking with bim for a. few mo ments, would not purposely make a misstatement. But here is a copy of a letter and opinion on the subject written to F. C. Bowen, the county treasurer, by J. J. Schenck, the county attorney: June 5, '07. Hon. F. C. Bowen, County Treasurer, Topeka, Kan. Mr. Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of a few days ago requesting me to give an opinion as to the duty of the county treasurer of Shawnee county, Kan., to make quarterly statements to the board of county commissioners, as provided for in section 14 of chap ter 141 of the laws of 1889, and to per form the other things specified in said section, I beg to say, I have given this matter careful consideration, and I am of the opinion that said section 14 was repealed insofar as it related to the county treasurer of Shawnee county, Kan. Section 3 of chapter 214 of the laws of 1901, specifically repeals original sec tion -14 of chapter 1141 of the laws of 1899, and all other sections and parts of sections, insorar as they relate to Dwight of New Tork. also was at the 1 the county treasurer of Shawnee coun station and talked with the president a moment before the train left. A force or clerks and stenographers with the executive officers and ser vants attached to the White House ac companied the president. i I The Roosevelt children are now at Oyster Bay awaiting the arrival their parents. of Sold Train Load of Cattle. Mr. Arthur Pitney of the "Pitney Brothers' Ranch," north of Belleville. stopped over in Topeka on his way home from Kansas City, Mo., where he had been with a train load of cat tle. He and O. B. Towne of this city were schoolmates and friends in the high school in Saratoga Springs, New Tork. Fred Miller Is Very Sick. Fred N. Miller, an old and promi nent citizen of Topeka. who was as sistant sheriff of this county for sev eral years, and also held numerous other positions, and has recently been engaged in the real estate business, has been very dangerously ill ror the past three or four weeks at his home, 1300 Harrison street. EAT flost diseases are caused by Improper food Grape-lMs To be Well "There's a Reason' ty, Kan. I, therefore, conclude that such a report Is not required from you. Very truly yours, J. J. SCHENCK. Continuing in his letter of explana tion Mr. Zimmerman says: "The county clerk contends that the county treasurer must pay into the county treasury all fees collected by him and in support of this contention I submit the following: (Then fol lows the statutes on the subject stating that the fees in question shall become a part of the general fund of the county and no one disputes this and the letter of Mr. Zimmerman con tinues:) "The county treasurer contends that the fees referred to In section 3096 belong to him as the perciuisites of his office in addition to his salary of three thousand dollars, but he cites no authority in support of his conten tion, and until the county treasurer can show that sections 1737 and 3096 have been repealed insofar as they pertain to Shawnee county, the county clerk will continue to charge him with such fees and hold him to ac count for them." This statement of Mr. Zimmerman's to the effect that the county treasurer is wrongly diverting the monies of the county to his own pocket is a new phase of the question that has not developed before, and when F. C. Bowen. who has been a county officer for a long time, and whose integrity has never been questioned by anyone was asked about it. he replied: "It's an unwarranted falsehood. It's hard for me to believe that the coun ty clerk makes any such charge. He knows better. This is the first inti mation that I have had that he or any one else ever had an idea that I was retaining any of the fees in question. I have never even contended that I was entitled to these fees.

OVER SAXTA FE TRAIL.. 51. W. Coffman of Salina Tells Why Freighters Traveled Eight Abreast. Mr. M. W. Coffman. from Salina, who is stopping at the Fifth Avenue hotel for a few days, is one of the pioneers of the state. He came to this part of th country in the year 1855. The first that he ever saw of Topeka was when as a boy of 17 he made hia first trip from Kansas City, Mo., to Santa Fe. N. M.. over the far famed Santa Fe trail. There were only a very few houses, or rather cabins, in this vicinity at the time, and he says that only occasionally did a train of over land freighters camp on the trail south of here. The first man Mr. Coffman met In Topeka was John Billings, who In partnership with his brother, was keeping a small general store down on Clean out vcur or warehouse of EflST TOFiKfl HOIESI roaches and other vermin hviisintr teams' Electric Rat and Roach Past ThU Cn Death to all these vermin.

He met Mr. Billings in the spring cf 1857. He was also acquainted with the late Mr. J. L. Sheila barger when the Shawnee mill was built and remarked that Shella barger had the first steam power "flour mill in this section of the country, to hi knowledge. In 186 he went overland to Califor nia with the mule team freighters. The company that he happened to be with sold the wagons at Salt Lak City to the Mormons, and traveled on through the mountains on mule back to San Francisco. He remarked: "I have been asked again and again why it was that there were so many tracks side by side in many parts of the trail. It was simply because the Indians bothered us a good deal and in order to prevent them from pouncing i down on the rear of the train, which some times was very long, we bunched up and traveled eight abreast. In this way we were all together and were ready for them." Mr. Coffman is a man well along In years but still vigorous. He saya that he is a pioneer, always has been, and is proud of it.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL--WEDNESD AY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1907. 7 BIG THUNDER STORM. I'misual Atmospheric Disturbances at Early Hour This Morning. The first severe thunder storm of the season broke out in this city at a quarter to 3 o'clock this morning: and for the next hour the sky was a con tinuous glare of lightning: while the crash of the thunder rattled the dishes and shook the houses. This atmos pheric disturbance was accompanied by a downpour of rain whiie only measuring .31 of an inch came in sheets during the few moments when the storm was at its height. There was everv indication of the proximity of a tornado and the barom eter at the government station in the Columbian building bobbled about like a thing possessed. AVhen the storm was at its height the barometer fell fifteen-hundredths of an inch in as many minutes while between the hours of 4 and 5 the temperature rose from 63 to 79 and during the hour follow ing dropped back to 65. "There was every indication of a cy clone for awhile last night." said Mr. Flora, assistant at the weather bureau, "and the action of the barometer as well as the sudden changes in the tem peratures indicate unusuai atmos pheric conditions. The wind at no time attained a velocity greater than 2S miles an hour, but that was enough to blow the rain around considerably. The air was heavily charged with elec tricity and the storm between 3 and 4 o'clock from the electrical display point was a beautiful sight." "While the storm was not exactly lo cal It was of that nature and covered a portion of the northeastern corner of the state east from Riley county where the heaviest fall occurred, to Topeka and reached as far south as Osage county. The nature of the storm was about the same at all points included in this territory a light hail which did but little damage, falling at several points while the atmospheric conditions were highly disturbed and thunder and lightning prevailed.

One Kansas Man Among Officers Lost In Hampton Roads. Washington. June 12. The loss at one time of six bright young midship men fresh from the academy at Annap olis, a young marine officer very re cently appointed, and a boatswain an-1 four enlisted men attached to the big battleship Minnesota, 12 men altogeth r. with the battleship's launch, as re ported to' the navy department, was one of the hardest mows tnat has rauen upon the personnel of the navy since the Spanish war. In the estimation of the officials. The navy department received a dis patch from Rear Admiral Evans, in command of the fleet at Hampton Roads, which says: "A ditty box belonging to the fire man of the Minnesota's missing launch has been picked up afloat near berth 27. and I am forced to conclude that the launch with all on board is lost. Have ordered board of investigation. Steamer last seen at exposition pier about midnight." Admiral Evans telegraphed that the five missing seamen are: R. H. Dodson. seaman: H. L. Van dern, ordinary seaman; F. R. Plumber, ordinary seaman; G. W. Westphal, fire man, first class; Jesse Conn, coal passer. Midshipman M. H. Holcomb. of the second class, was attached to the Con necticut, and took passage on the Min nesota's launch. He was a member of the second class, and was appointed it the Naval academy from Newcastle. Del. His father, Thomas Holcomb, is employed as a clerk in the comptroller's office at the treasury department. Midshipman H'.nry C. Murfin, Jr., was a native of Ohio and a member of the second class at the Naval academy. Like the other, he had been sent aboard the battleship Minnesota for a sum me' course of instruction, to afford the prac tical education necessary to supple ment the theoretical work at the Naval academy. Philip H. Field was a midshipman from Colorado, who belonged to ths first class of the academy. Midshipman Walter C. I'lrich. of tha second class, was from Wisconsin. Midshipman W. H. Stevenson, of Cal ifornia, was a member of the second class, and Henry L. Holden, of Wis consin, was a member of the samo class. David M. Randall, second lieutenant of marines, was born in New Tork and appointed from Newton, Kansas, enter ing after a severe competitive exami nation March 10. 1905. The conclusion was reached at the navy department that either on account of the lateness of the hour of the re turn trip the Minnesota's launch in her haste had been driven hard Jnto the heavy sea that prevailed in Hampton Roads, or that the little boat had been run down by some of the giant tramn steamers that make use of the roads as a refuge in time of storm. How It Happened. Norfolk, Va., June 12. It was reported today that the disaster In Hampton Roads Monday night which resulted in the sinking of a launch from the battle hlp Minnesota and the drowning of 11 men. Including six midshipmen who were returning from the army and navy ball at the Jamestown exposition that night, and five seamen who made up the crew of the launch resulted from the Minnesota's launch being run down by a tug and coal barge which the tug was towing. The identity of the tug and barge are as yet unknown. It wa said that the tug stopped after the accident, but find ing no trace of the object struck, or any sign of life in the water, resumed its course with the coal barge in tow. The presumption is that the launch sank im mediately In the darkness of the stormy night, the 11 ocupants being caught in their canvas covered craft with no pos sible way of escape and carried to the bottom, drowning like rats in a trap. It was raining and the choppy seas were sending spray to such an extent that it became necessary for those In the launch to have the canvas covering buttoned tightly down from overhead to the sides of the little vessel. It is not yet positively known whether the tug and barge were outward or inward bound, or that the tug men knew what they had struck. The President Is Shocked. Baltimore. Md.. June 18.

Boads Intend to Go to the United States Courts. INJUNCTION WANTED. An Application Will Be Made for It on Friday. Other Items of Interest to Railway People. JefTerson City. Mo., June 12. In junction proceedings will be filed in the United States court at Kansas City this week to restrain the rail road and warehouse commissioners of Missouri from attempting to enforce either the 2-cent passenger fare law or the maximum freight rate law en acted at the last session of the legis lature, both of which become effective June 15. It is understood that all the trunk line railroads in the state, nine teen in number will join. This information comes direct from one of the railroad attorneys who is engaged, with others, in preparing the applications tor injunctions. He said today that it was. probable the in junctions would be fihed before Judge John F. Philips on Friday of the pres ent week, the day before the law goes into effect. The injunction will be based in both Instances upon a. provision in the four teenth amendment to the federal con stitution. which prohibits the taking of property without due process of law, and it will be contended that both acts are confiscatory. Similar proceedings were filed by the railroads about two years ago against the railroad and warehouse commissioners to prevent them from enforcing a maximum freight rate law enacted during the-winter of 1905, and that litigation is still pending. So far as that law is concerned, however, it would make little difference what be came of it. for the new- maximum freight rate law is a different act in dome important particulars, or at least that is the interpretation Attor ney Hadley places upon it. In a general way, both laws reduce existing freight rates about 25 per cent. The difference is chiefly in the grain rates and the rates on live stock shipments, both being a little higher under the new than under the old law. The state officials were led to be lieve the railroads will acquiesce in the 2-cer.t passenger fare act. It was stated some days ago that the Frisco was the only big line that exhibited a disposition to oppose its enforcement, and it was thought that this opposi tion would give way by the time the law became operative. It was antici pated however, that there would be opposition to the maximum freight rate law. Persons who have been waiting until June 13. when passenger rates over the main lnnes would be reduced from THE DOCTOR LAUGHED But the Woman Was Frightened. 3 to 2 cents per mile, to make trips may as well pay the old rate, for it will doubtless be sometime before the controversy to be flle"d in the federal court is disposed of. There is a' pen alty attached to this law, so that in the event it should be held valid, the traveling public would have redress for being forced to paying the old rates. DBTIOBES ITS RATE POW ER. A physician of Columbus, Ga., rather poked fun at a lady patient who in sisted she had heart disease. The trouble really was caused by cof fee drinking, and the nerves were so affected that it gave her every indica tion of heart disease. This is true of thousands of people who are badly hurt by the caffeine of coffee, and, it Is understood that U continued long enough, real organic heart 'tola rr will set in. The lady referred to above eayst "I bad been running down in health for a number of years and suspected that coffee was hurting me but could not get up courage to quit it. My heart troubled me so that I was very short of breath, and could do little or noth ing that required exertion. I had fear ful nervous headaches nearly every day, and was exceedingly nervous, with In digestion and badly constipated.

Physclans call It "A Health Classic." "XUere's a Reason." Flsll Thinks Commerce Commission Should Not Have It. New York, June 12. No more rail roads will be built in the undeveloped parts of the United States except at the risk of and with the capital of ex isting lines if the government's plan to fix rates based upon a railroad's val uation is carried out, is the opinion of Stuyvesant Fish, former president of the Illinois Central railroad, now a director of the Gould lines. Mr. Fish expressed his opinion in the course of an address before the graduating class in applied science at Columbia university yesterday. He characterized the action of congress in giving the interstate commerce commission the power of fixing rates as a distinct reversion to mediaeval practice, which will hinder and delay, if it does not in some places absolutely prevent, the development of the west and south, through the establishment of new jobbing centers. "No man would venture his capital in the construction of a railrpad in a new country for anything like the 5 or 6 per cent per annum which might be allowed by the government as a fair return thereon, said Mr. Fish. "As one experienced in the business and interested pecuniarily in railroad shares. I can and do look upon what is going on under the law of -1906 with equanimity, much as I deprecate the unwisdom of that law as a citizen hav ing regard to the welfare of the whole of our common country. "In saying this let me not be under stood as opposed to regulation of the railroads by the federal or state auth orities, or by both, as, in common with nearly all railroad men, I appreciate the justice, the necessity and the wis dom of such control. What I do ob ject to is the attempt to fix in advance by statute the price of railroad rates or of any other service or commodity." AGAINST OKIiAHOM-V ROADS. Attorney General Will File Rate Dis criminating Charges. Washington, June 12. W. O. Crom well, attorney general for Oklahoma, will within the next day or two file several complaints of a sweeping char acter against practically all ths rail roads in the territory, with the inter state commerce commission. He will file complaints against the Santa Fe in reference to grain rates to Kansas City: a complaint against all territorial railroads on rates on .refined oil and oil products from Kansas City and Kansas refining points to Oklahoma points. Two complaints will be filed against the Rock Island. Santa Fe. Frisco and Fort Smith Western on lumber orig inating in groups two or six inclusive, including Arkansas, Indian Territory, Texas and Louisiana, to Oklahoma points; another on live stock rates from Oklahoma common points to Kansas City and Fort Worth, Tex., and another on rates on grain and grain products be tween Texas and Oklahoma points.

USING THE NEW CUT-OFF. Burlington Running Passenger Trains Over Short Line. Leavenworth. Kan.: June 12. The Burlington began running passenger trains over the Beverly -Waldron cut off, Sunday. This was made necessary because the river is cutting the banks dangerously close to the old main line tracks between East Leavenworth and Waldron. The cut-off has been used for freight trains several weeks, but It was not intended to run passenger trains over this route until the new depot .was built. A temporary platform has been built where connection is made at the new East Leavenworth to accommo date passengers transferring to the main line. A. L. Willsie, superintendent, came down from St. Joseph Sunday after noon and supervised the work of sav ing the track along the river. He re mained on the work all night. The track was thought to be out of dan ger yesterday. Wicker forms "made of willows bound with wire and filled with stone were thrown In along the river bank -to prevent the erosion of the embankments. The Beverly-Waldron cut-off is eleven miles long and was completed several weeks ago. It saves two and a half miles between Kansas City and St. Joseph, and shortens the distance between Leavenworth and Kansas City by one mile. It was at one time the plan to abandon the old main line track when the cut-off came into per manent use, but it is now thought that this portion of the old track will be made a part of the new double track now being built by the Burlington. This would save the construction of eleven miles of new track. It is also possible that the one mile siding at Iatan will be embodied in the double track. BIG GRADING OUTFIT THERE.

KANSAS WHEAT KING. Col. Rice Owns 118 Quarter Sections In Graham County Alone. Hill City, Kan., June 12. Col. Rice, the wheat king of. Kansas,' came to the state during the late fifties, a sickly young man, from -the state of New York.,;- Of a famrlywithr consumfttive tendency and withiso the. doctors, -told him. one lung entirely gone, he set his face toward the1 west and came in search of health and life. -Upon his arrival. In Atchison county! he had just enough money-left to 'pay a par tial payment on the purchase of a pair of bulls and with a borrowed plow he began breaking up the prairie sod. working all day-In-' the open air and sleeping at night under a rudely im provised shelter, eating the foods that he deemed best for his health with an appetite born of the outdoor exercise; he gained strength and courage and is today as straight and supple as men of half bis years. Abouf sixteen years ago Mr. Rice became Interested In the matter of wheat growing in the western part of the state and coming to Graham coun ty he bought a few quarters of Rooks and Graham county land and began the experiment. 'Today Ire owns one hundred and eighteen quarter sections In Graham county alone. These are all more or less under cultivation and growing either wheat or alfalfa. Much of this land Is farmed by hired labor, the operations being directed from his office by means of telephonic com munication. The' remainder Is farmed by tenants whose relation with their landlord is" much more that of busi ness partners that of landlord and ten ant. Referring to the matter of tele phones it may be of interest to know that Mr. Rice has telephonic commu nication with everjr one of his farms. At his desk he sits and gives directions or receives reports, and is in constant touch with all of the small army co operating with him. 'About a year ago. becoming dissatisfied with the existing condition of the lines then in use, Mr. Rice, coolly and without fuss, began building a' line of his own. Farmers along the lines asked to be allowed to join In the work, and today the Rice Telephone Co.. pay tax on over four hundred miles of wire and their lines reach every part, of the county and all adjacent towns.

Lightning struck the tall brick stack at the smel ter, in the north part of the city, and damaged it considerably. No one was hurt, although all of the men who were at work about the grounds were shaken by the shock, and one of them was knocked unconscious. The ,one who was rendered Insensi ble was Mr. Smith. He was In the ore house, at least 100 yards from the stack. The brick which were stripped loose were strewn all over the side of the hill, some .of -the pieces being fifty or sixty yards from the stack. Most of them are snapped .in half, but occa sionally a piece is found which has been chipped off into fantastic and ir regular shaye. The stack is said to contain a million brick.

Of fifty persons who attended a surprise party given Mrs. William Truitt, more than half w-ere taken sick, some of them becoming dangerously ill.. It Is pre- sumed that they were poisoned by the ice cream which was served. This, at least, is the theory adopted by the i physicians. The only other, other refreshments served were cake and oranges. The cake was all right, as the physicians examined it and ate of it to make sure. i Those who were helped last were the ones who1 were' made sick. It is presumed that the poison had impreg nated the cream near the sides of the can. Those who were served nrst got from the center, and. those who came last got the cream -which had. been against the sides. Whether it was a ptomaine poison or a mineral poison which caused the trouble, the physicians were unable to determine. In order to make certain, a sample was taken and sent to the state chemist at Lawrenoe for analysis. ON A MURDER CHARGE. Nothing so Good in Summer.

Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, and Prof. F. O. Marvin, of Lawrence, have Just return ed from a trip of inspection to Lam ed, Kingman, and Ellsworth, where the people are preparing, to make changes in their waterworks and sew- ago system, and under the law, must consult with the state authorities con cerning sanitary conditions. At Ellsworth, the people ana it ne cessary to get a new.souch of water. The wells driven there are not ade quate, owing to the- faet that tha salt mine uses so much water in its oper ation from the same- vein that' there is none left for the city. The plan was proposed of drilling new wells at the northwest corner or town to tap an other vein of water, but Dr. Crura bine and Prof." Marvin rejected this plan on the ground that the seepage from cess pools in the city contamin ated this vein. Instead, It was recom mended that the ..town, .get its water supply from driven wells in the valley of the Smoky hill river- At Kingman it was discovered that the town has what is probably .the most wonderful' natural water supply in the state. A natural spring, which flows a stream as big as a man's body. is located in the sand stone hills three nalles from town.- This spring water Is by analysis as pure aa distilled wat er, and fills a large-, basin near the Ninnescah river, which 'it feeds. It was recommended that the town build pipe -line from this spring to the town. The natural fall is aufflcient to carry the water right -to theJ'town. There were soma in Kingman who ob jected to the plan on account of the: expense of piping the i watef'sueh-a. long distance, but the onneil,-otv the advice of the state represntatrves,'-ae- cided to spend 312,000 on- the pipe line. At Larned there was a row about the proper place to empty a new sewer which was being constructed. There usually is a row In any town when the question of emptying a sewer is"under" discussion. The state officers granted permission for the city to empty its sewer into the Pawnee river at a. cer tain place below the town. CASTORIA Tor Infant i and Children.- Tto Kind Yea Km Always Eoogh!

Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Kstablislmicnt in Connecticut. Stratford, Conn., June 12. Com memoration of the 200th anniversary of the establishment in Connecticut of the church of England was held to day In Christ church here in the pres ence of one of the most distinguished bodies of churchmen that has been seen in the state. This v;ub the first parish in the state and its histoiy is closely interwoven with the story of the English church in all Xew England. The book of common prayer was adopted by the parish in 1702 and the church edifice put up cn the present site of which, in architecture the existent structure is a modern elaboration. The parish itself in those days was assisted by the ven erable Society for the Propagation of the gospel in foreign parts. A dissolu tion of relations with that body came with the severance of relations be tween the United States and Great Britain. The town and parish records show that a spiritual warfare existed in li09 owing to the "dangers of episcopacy" as set forth by the-Con gregationalism, and parishioners were not only fined for holding services but were forbidden to vote or to hold of fice. Boycotts and heavy fines were means used to compel Christ church members to assist in support of the orthodox church and state govern ment. For a tim; the missionaries sent to this pari6h had spiritual oversight in the many parishes established in Con necticut and Rhode Island, and the influence of these men is also noted in the parishes later established in western New York. Today's celebration was divided into two parts, that of the morning being religious and historical in character. mast or spar 65 feet high, from which hung a framework, with a number small cars intended to represent air ships. When the shaft wag given a rotary motion the cars swung out. The speed of the shaft regulates the height of the cars, which, when the apparatus is tunning at full speed, are about 20 feet above ground. The accident happened as the ma chinery was slowing down from a "flight" and the cars were at the time only ten feet from the ground. Th spar snapped off at the base with a sound that was heard all ever the park and the superstructure settled down earth. Only five passengers were rid ing at the time and these were all f-lightly injured. Three persons occupy ing seats, in the immediate vicinity were caught under the falling debris, receiving slight hurts. B0HDST0BEPAID.

Eijrlit Hurt In p.n Accident at a Kan sas Vlty I?rk. Kansas Cry. June 12. The fall of the monster circular swing at Electric park last night, about 11 o'clock, injured eight persons and created a panic in the crowd of pleasure seekers. Th.; accident occurred when the cars at tached to the swine were not crowded with passengers. The breaking of the Pteel shatt upon which the entire super structure was supported was the direct cause of the drop. The swing was a huge umbrella Bhaped affair, consisting of a tall steel Stonemasons Win Strike. Junction City, Kan., June 12. The stone masons, who were employed on construction work at Ft.

One Man Sued Another Talking About Him. for CASE WAS THROWN OUT Then the Injured Person A p- pealed the Case. Another Judge Forced Verdict in Spite of Jury. An interesting lawsuit from Norton county was filed today in the supreme court. H. F. Bashford sued L. D. Wells for slander, and asked for $5,000 dam ages. He wanted $1,000 apiece for five different occasions on which he alleged that Well3 had said to different people. in substance, that he caught Bashford out late at night on June 13, 1905, with a woman. Bashford said that this story was injuring his reputation with the people of his community, because the inference was that he was untrue to his wife. Mr. Wells, came back with an answer which was of a decidedly unusual char acter. He denied that he had slandered Bashford, and declared, as a matter of fact, that Bashford had been out at a certain place on the railroad ritrht of way on the night mentioned with u woman unknown to the defense, anil that on that occasion he was euiltv of Improper conduct with the aforesaid woman. When tho case came on for trial Wells' attorneys demurred to the plain tiff's petition, on the ground that it did not charge Wells with anything. Thev said that even admitting that Wells had said what it was charged he had said. intie was no s.anaer in it, except as Bashford assumed there was slander in it by innuendo. The court sustained the demurrer and Bashford appeals. Another Interesting western Kansas case which was appealed yesterday is a harmless looking little proceeding in wnicn j. m. jveville and E. W. Simpson suea x. i. v inn for a settlement on real estate deal, in which the plaintiffs acted as agents. The amount claimed was $387.50. Winn claimed that Neville Thompson misrepresented facts, and tnat as a counter claim, should pay nim hjv ror traveling expenses incurred on their account. Judge William E. Hutchinson, who was trying the case, came to the conclusion that on the law, verdict should be rendered for the plaintiffs, and against Winn. He in structed the jury to sign such a verdict without leaving their seats. The jury, manifesting true western Independence, rebelled. The attorneys for Winn asked that the jury be polled, and here are some of the replies given when the court asked the various mem bers if the verdict was theirs: Mr. Bruce: "No. sir. I would rather have the evidence; I rather review the evidence before giving my verdict in the matter." Judge Hutchinson reminded him that he had agreed to try the case according to tne law as interpreted by the court. and the court instructed him to find a verdict. 'Under the circumstances," said Bruce, "I suppose it will be my verdict." Mr. Webber was asked If It was his verdict. 'No, not exactly," he said, "but un der that ruling I suppose I will have to accept it." Mr. Gear said: It ain t my verdict. but according to the ruling, I suppose it has to be, but I think the next time you won't need any jury." Mr. Mitchell: "No. sir, as I under- tand this case it ain't. I understood that the judge would give the instruc tions, and we would be the judges of the evidence." The court explained that the law warranted a verdict, and Mitchell re luctantly agreed. The Judgment was for $387, and Winn, through his attorneys, E. R. Thorpe and W. R. Hopkins, appealed. The case of W. O. Beardwell against the Union Pacific was appealed from Graham county by the Union Pacific. Beardwell shipped 232 hogs in August. 1905. from Morland and Hill City to Kansas City. The hogs lay in the hot sun at Salina for eight hours, and three died of heat. Beardwell claimed that there was a serious shrinkage in the remaining hogs, and sued for $860. He got a Judgment for $249.50, and the railroad company appeals. 16 Button Chamois Gloves $2.50 Crosby B ROS.

It has been grown in the back yard and parking at the Governor's house. All of the Vinewood cars have tri angular blue streamers on their trolley poles with "Vinewood"' in white letters on them.

The largest crowd of the season was out to Vinewood Park last night. For the first time this season on a week day night it was necessary to run trailers on the cars. The regular monthly meeting of the Commercial club will be held Friday ev ening and as it is expected that this will be the last meeting until fall, as large an attendance as possible is de sired.

Friday and Saturday has been set apart this week by Judge Dana for the hearing of divorces and he wil listen to the stories of eighteen mismated cou ples on these two days. Topeka is yet in the first division, but that is all that can be said for the White Sox, as they are trailing along in the last place on account of the game which they lost yesterday. The White Sox returned from Jop lin this morning over the Santa Fe. The Joplin team accompanied them home and will remain here until Sat urday night, playing four games with the locals. The first hay crop of the season has been cut at Vinewood park and receiv ed the full benefit of the rain last night as it stood in the shock ready to be moved away in the big red barn which stands on the east part of the property.

All Sunday games will be called at 3 o'clock in the future. George McNewcomb, the six and one half foot drum major of the Garden City band, is in the city today but not in uniform, though it Is possible that he will be' in a day or so as the po lice force is badly in need of men at the present time. One Topeka man says he understands now why the street car company changed the color of its street cars from green to tan. Tan is the most fashion able color this summer and the street car company was simply anticipating the advent of the new color. J. A. Ramsey has somewhere, some place heard that it is the early bird that gets the worm and evidently believes that there is something in it, for he has announced his candidacy for coun-i ty superintendent though the election occurs one year from next November. County Attorney Schenck. who has been besieged with requests to prose cute the officers, Hutton and Keller, v.-ho affixed a fruit container to the ap pendage of a stray canine, announces that there is no law covering the case and the bold officers will not be mo lested. The annual agitation for a sane Fourth of July has already commenced though the probabilities are that ther will be just as much noise and insanity evinced on that day as in the past and just as many eyeless and fingerless youthful patriots the morning after as in the past. The display of lightning and thun der in connection with the storm last night was the most violent of the sea son and many residents of the city who were awakened by the storm were unable to sleep on account of the roaring of the thunder and the flashes of lightning.

Two boys were trying to ride the same bicycle on Ninth street Tues day, with the end in view of seeing how fast they could ride over some of the rough pavement there.

The boys were not hurt except in their pride and after looking around to see that few people were watching, dis appeared around the state house. J. J. Schenck, the county attorney can find no statute under which to bring criminal proceedings against Policemen Keller and Hutton for tying the can to the dog's tail. He has had sufficient evidence placed in his hands to convict the men of this charge, but it seems that the "cruelty to animals'" statute does not Include dogs within its scope, so Mr. Schenck can not act in the premises.
