Dead Man Found Near Scene of Last Week's Crime. Officers HaTe No Clue Identity of the Yictiin. to A second murder within a week's time came to light early this morning which is surrounded with a shroud of mystery- And the evident scone of the crime was within a hundred yards of the lonely spot on the Kaw river bank where was found the murdered body of William Morkinson. the fruit peddler, and whose murder is placed by the authorities at the door of William Van Horn, a hackman. The dead body of a man, with the upper rart of the head and face mu tilatod almost beyond semblance of human form, was found this morning between the double tracks of the Union Pacific railroad just the other side of the three bridges and within a hun red vards of where" the Grantville road crosses the Union Pacific right of way. The place where this Doay was found is just about one hundred yards duo west of where Morkinson'3 body lay when it was discovered on Wednes day noon last by some section men on the Union Pacific. At first glance it was thought that the man, whose body was found this jnorning, had been struck and killed bv a nassine train. There Is no doubt but that his head was struck and cruh?d by a passing train, but it took onlv n cursory examination or in bodv ana the nlace where it was found. to ascertain that the man had been murdered and then placed where a train would hit him. In the center of his chin was an evi dent bullet wound, and a 32 caliber bullet was afterwards found In the skull. There was another bullet wound in the left armpit. Then there -nei an n'rlv wound, or lonsr deep gash. n the throat extending from the left of the center of the chin down through the laryny and to the oesophagus. The knife that made this wound had sev ered the jugular vein and all of the Lirire irteries in the neck ana inroai. And the conclusive evidence that the man was first murdered and placed on the track was found in the fact that there was little if any blood around where the body was found. When the man's head had been placed on the In side rail of the -westbound tracK, tnere was a little splotch of blood, which had evidently- trickled from the wound in the fnroa"t. Where his body lay, some twenty feet further on from where it had been placed on the track and where it had been thrown by the train, there was no blood on the ground. Had the man been alive when the train hit him. the immediate vicinity would have been red with blood, but there was every evidence to show that his circulation of blood had long since ceased when his head was placed on the track. Xegro Kinds the Body. William H. Hendrlckson. a negro employed in the barber shop at the corner of Ninth and Kansas avenue, made the ghastly find on the tracks this morning. Hendrlckson lives out near the Calhoun Bluffs and It is his custom to walk into town each morn inr on the Union Pacific right of way. He had passed the point where the Grantville road crosses the railroad tracks and it was then about six o'clock In the morning. A hundred yards farther on he came upon the body. He took one look at it and then turned and ran to the farm house or Ed Goff, a fruit raiser, which is near by. Mr. Goff communicated with the police and county authorities. Dr. H. H. Keith, the coroner, J. M. Wilkerson. the sheriff and Josiah Ross, police sergeant, hurried to the place In Dr. Keith's automobile. A hurried examination of the body on their part convinced them that the man had been murdered and then placed on the railroad track and the police officers and the sheriff and his forces got to work on the case immediately, while Pr. Keith had the body removed to j Shellabarger's undertaking rooms I r J Scene of tlic Two Murders WiUi In i iff where an autopsy was held later by Dr. Blandel and Dr. Keith. The Vnldentifled Victim. So badly was the head of the mur dered man mutilated by the train which struck It. that it would have been well nigh impossible to identify Mm by the face even if one had known him. What little of the features were left, a portion of the left side of the face, Including a piece of the nose, chin and an eye, were necessarily destroyed by the doctors In performing the autopey, so that all that is left of the face and head now is a mass of flesh and bones. The body appears to be that of a man about 30 years old, of short and. slim stature. He was possi bly S feet 4 Inches in height and did not weigh more than 135 or 40 pounds. He had heavy black raven hair, straight as an Indian a and It was quite long. His face was smooth shaven and had a beard of potsibly a day's growth on It. His complexion was swarthy and the rkin on ais body was of a dark hue. But he was not sufficiently dark to warrant calling him a Mexican, al though some who have seen the body are inclined to think that ne was Mexican. Others express the opinion that he was a foreigner, possibly an Italian and still others believe that he was an American of unusually dark complexion. His clothes were not of the best qual ity but they were hardly as ragged as a tramp s would be. His coat was or a dark mixed material, of the pepper end salt variety and his trousers were of black worsted or wool. He wore a hickory shirt, a suit of gauze under wear, heavy gray socks and heavy phoes, which were In good condition and not of the kind usually worn by labor ers. He also v ore a black felt -hat that had been pretty badly chewed up by the wheels of the train which had hit his head. There was nothing in the pockets of the clothing or on the body that would lead to the Identification of the man. All that was found in his pock ets; and It was such a collection of stuff that a famp usually carries was a piece of soap, a small towel, a chunk of bologna, a small comb and a small poeketbook which was empty. The man s hands and feet were un usually mall and his hands had the appearance of having been accus tomed to manual labor. They were begrimed and calloused. Results of the Autopsy. Dr. O. P. Handel and Dr. Keith per formed an autospy on the body soon after it had reached Shellabarger's undertaking rooms. The head and Ekull. or what was left of it, were first examined. It did not take long to find the bullet in the head that had made the wound under the. chin. It was evidently a thirty-two caliber buliet and was found in the roof of the skull. It had gone up through the brain from the chin. The bullet which made the wound under the left arm pit was not found in the body. An examina tion of the deep and long wound in the throat by the physicians con vinced them that it had been made with a knife and could not possibly have been made by the train. If the train had made it the man's chest would have been crushed. The top of the left shoulder had been crushed by the train but there was only a few jrtight- bruises on the body and the doctors are convinced that tho only part of It which was hit by the train was the head and shoulders. The doc tors think the man had been dead for six or seven hours when his body was found. Xo Good Clues to Work On. Hard and quick work was put in by Sheriff Wilkerson and the members of the police force on the case but they did not get much in the way of results for their first few hours of work. They were working under the disadvantage of hunting for murder clues when the victim had not yet been Identified and not much In the way of results can be expected until an identification Is made. The recent movements of the man up until a few hours of the time ho met his death then could possibly be traced. John Foley, who lives at the corner of Thirteenth and Lane streets, went to the police station this morning and told that he had teen a passenger on the west bound Union Pacific train which is due here about 1 o'clock this morning. He said that he and a man from St. Marys were standing on the platform of the rear car of this train- for some time before It reached Topeka, He de clared that he saw three men fighting in the roadway Just as the train passed by the place where the Grantville road crosses the railroad tracks. He says that the moon was shining brightly at the time and the men could ba seen quite plainly. He said that there was a horse hitched to a top buggy standing in the road near where the men were fighting and that this fight was going on about one o'clock this morning. The peace officers are working on this clue. Weather Indications. Chicago, June 24. Forecast for Kan sas: Showers and thunder storms to night and possibly Tuesday; cooler. a Week.

REVIEWS THE HISTORY Of the Western Federation of Miners From Its Organization. Says It WTas Born in a Jail Cell in 1892-3. Boise. Idaho, June 24. A great crowd gathered this morning In the room where William D. Haywood is on trial to hear the speech of Clarence Darrow of Chicago, outlining the pur poses of the defense in combatting the evidence put In by the state. The for malities of opening the session at an end, Mr. Darrow at once took up his place directly in front of the twelve solemn-visaged men in the Jury box and began in the slow, mellow drawl characteristic of him to state the theory and plan of the defense to be offered for his client. Mr. Darrow reminded the jurors of the instruction given them by the court that they are to keep their minds en tirely open as to the guilt or innocence of the accused man until all the evi dence from both sides has been intro duced. "You have listened to the theory and the evidence of the state," Mr. Dar row proceeded. Mr. Hawley has cov ered a wide ground In his opening for the state and we will have to meet him step by step. The defendant here is charged nominally with the murder of former Governor Steunenberg. There has to be some nominal charge. But the state has told you the case rests upon a giant conspiracy of which the defendant among others is a part. "The state's attorney has told you the murder of Governor Steunenberg was but an incident. They have told you the Western Federation of Miners was an organization to commit mur der, to control politics, to hire lawyers and other criminal things. "Part of this is true; part of it Is not true: It is true there Is a labor organization known as the Western Federation of Miners. It is true the Western Federation of Miners has spent money- for lawyers. It was un fortunate, but most people have to employ lawyers at some time or an other. Horn In a CeU. "This organization was really born In 182-1893, right down in a cell be neath this court -room where Ed Boyee, the first president, was a prisoner, and where now the three men, charged with this murder, are awaiting the Judgment cf this jury. To start out with they hired lawyers and they hired the best they could. They hired Mr. Hawley, now the leading counsel for the st.ite. Mr. Hawley laid out the plan of their organization, for them; he advised them; he was the godfather of the Western Federation of Miners and the men who formed the organiza tion thought It was an innocent under taking. Mr. Hawley was their first at torney and continued as their attorney for a long time. If there was anything criminal in their appropriating money for a lawyer the miners did not know it. The "Western Federation of Miners is an industrial, not a murderous organ ization. It has from time to time taken a hand In politics, but we are not go ing to hang every organization which has done spuch a thing. If we did no corporation would be safe. The West ern Federation of Miners did all it could to pass the eight hour law In Colorado, Utah and Montana. It tried to elect friendly United States senators. It tried to elect Mr. Hawley, but un fortunately failed." Mr. Darrow went on to say tnat there was ro claim that the Western Federation of Miners. waa an organi zation of angels. "Angels do not work in the mines," declared the attorney, "they are the mine owners." Mr. Darrow went on at length to outline the organization of the West ern Federation of Miners. He declared it was nothing but a beneficial asso ciation, trying to uplift its class. It was not until ten years after the organ ization of the union that either Hay wood or Moyer took office in it. No Apolojrlesj to Offer. "We are not here to apologize for anything the Western Federation of Miners has done," declared Mr. Darrow. "It has been a fighting organization from the first and if it dies it will die a fighting organization. It has had a troublous career; It has been opposed by every device of the mine owners, but It has prospered. Before the West ern federation ui miners i-mut existsnce the miners h?.d tc work from 12 to 14 hours a day. wnen tney want ed food they had to buy it at the company stores. When they were In jured they were taken to the company hospitals where there was little diffi culty in getting a statement releasing the company from all damage. The conditions are vastly different now. The Butte union alone hasi paid out more than one million dollars to the widows and orphans of its members this during the time this alleged crimi nal conspiracy existed." Mr. Darrow went at some length to show the trouble and opposition the union has had since its inception. In pome communities he declared the pres ident of the organization, when he we.it to visit the miners was refused both fcod and lodging by the mining com panies. "Arrests have come thick and fast," the attorney continued. "Some of the charges were purely imaginary and in 99 cases out of 100 the men have not even been given the grace of a trial. As soon as the Western Federation of Miners was born the mine owners went about to destroy It and as the chief means of destruction they hired the Pinkerton detective agency with one McParland at its head. "We will show you that this agency has been busy sleuthing, following, working and lying to get these men. We will show that they have hired de tectives ami placed them In positions of responsibility as secretaries and presidents of local unions; that these hired men c-nstantly advised the min ers to strike and that when a strike was on counselled violence, dynamite and murder. They did It at Telluride; they did it at Cripple Creek and at many other places. Ooes After Plnkertons. "We will show that the Pinkerton detective agency 'has been a chief factor in this case from the very be ginning. They hav$ organized them selves In a band to spread calumny against the Western Federation of Miners. We will show that In one case, where a cage fell, because of de fective machinery and 16 men were killed, it was laldr to the Western Federation of Miners. "The burning of the Moscow uni versity was laid to the leader of the Western Federation, of Miners. Every illegitimate child born west of the Mississippi has been wrapped in its swaddling clothes, hurried to Denver and laid on the doorstep of the West ern Federation of Miners." Mr. Darrow turned his attention to the miners magazine. He said prob ably many foolish and Intemperate things crept in, but the editors had no college education and Mr. Pettibone paid little attention to It. "We will read to you matter from the Miners magazine not introduced by the state. We will show that they did not advise violence and that they counselled a wise administration and discussed the economic conditions temperately. Continuing Mr. Darrow said: Tlie Oeour IVAI nes Trouble. "This brings us to 18 99 and the troubles in the Ceour D'Alenes when Steunenberg was governor. The West ern Federation of Miners was getting along all right. Then something hap pened. A irresponsible mob of 1,000 people, made up of miners and mer chants, preachers and hangers-on and every one who wanted a ride went down and the Bunker Hill and Sulli van mines were blown up. "The powder was furnished by a rival company. At that time Harry Orchard, who testified in this case had been there for a month carrying a union card. Jack Simpkins was In the Coeur d'Alenes. Then came the call for troops. Rightly or wrongly, Steunenberg called for troops. Jack Simpkins was arrested and thrown into the "bull, pen." He was mal treated. He was stood up at a post by a colored soldier and a bayonet was driven into his breast. Harry Orchard was in the Coeur d'Alenes. Harry Orchard was a cheap soldier of fortune, a shoestring gambler, who had never done a ;day's work In his life. He owned a sixteenth share of the Hercules mine but sold it because of his needs and continued his gam bling. The mine did not yield until 1901. But Orchard hoping on stayed around to get a share of the mine. We don't think that Orchard was at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine. We will show he was not there, and we will show that he was engaged in his favorite work ot gambling with the easiest mark Ire could rind. We will show that he did not participate in most of tho crimes which he has here boasted. I don't iike to take anv of the bloom off a peach like that, but while we will show' that he-is not the murderer he boasts himself, we will compensate him bv proving him to be the most monumental liar that ever existed. Will Prove -ixra a Liar. "Before our flrss-v witness leaves the stand, gentlemen, we will convince you; we will even convince-Mr. Hawley himself that. this man Orchard has lied out most of the essential points of his story. .We- will have from 25 to 30 witnesses, who will take the stand and contradict this man absolutely. Some of these witnesses will be miners, but others will be eminently respectable people who have never done a day's work in their lives." Here as at other points in his- speech Mr. Darrow's sarcasm caused wave af ter wave of laughter in the court room. Sometimes the bailiffs had to- rap for order. Mr. Darrow briefly sketched the wan derings of Orchard as related by that witness. Orchard remained in the Couer D'Alenes, he said, trying to re gain possession of his one-sixteenth in terest in the Hercules mine until he was driven out by fear of arrest and confinement In the "bull pen." "Then he wandered from place to place, seldom working," said Mr. Dar row. "He was a sort of gentlemanly miner who mined the miners. In 1902 he turned up in Cripple Creek. But from 1889 to 1902, this important per sonage in American history is all but ever, that during all that time he could be found in the back room of some sa lcst to view. It is pretty certain how loon gambling. "If Orchard today held his one-sixteenth interest in the Hercules mine he would be worth half a million dol lars; but I think he'd rather have what he's got because it is more valuable to the newspapers." Haywood a Common Miner. Mr. Darrow said that when Orchard ieft the Coeur D'Alenes after the blow ing up of the Bunker Hill and Sulli van mill, Haywood was but a plain ordinary working miner at Silver City, Idaho, where he lived a greater part of his working life in the snow cap ped mountains, which can be seen from the Boise court room. It was not until 1901 that Haywood become secretary and treasurer of the Westren Federation of Miners. "That is a Job," said Mr. Darrow, "which everybody believes there Is money in except the man who holds it. It is like being mayor or senator." Moyer's position in 1899, was just as obscure as Haywood's, declared the miners' lawyer and as for Pettibone he was not even a miner at that time. "He ran a little store down in Den ver," continued Mr. Darrow, "selling clothes wringers, lace curtains, rugs, bibles and other novelties, on the in stallment plan. Pettibone had been a miner in 1892, In the Coeur d'Alenes. He was arrested there and put in Jail and my friend. Mr. Hawley, got him out. He then decided to quit mining. SHE WANTED TO DIE.

The girl has on numerous other oc casions threatened to take her life and the acid tsken yesterday was purchased some time ago when she had made up her mind to end it all by a dose from the bottle. When she awakened and found that she was not In a strange world she immediately informed those about her that she would make arrangements to repeat her performance at an early date.

Emporia, Kan., June 24. A Tain storm amounting almost to a cloudburst was accompanied here with a high wind. which did great damage Saturday nignt. In places the- action of the wind was similar to that of a tornado. Eight miles southeast of here a twister tore the corner out of the home of C. W. Vanorden and destroyed his barn. Shortly before the family had taken refuge in a storm cellar and escaped injury. The same twister cut a path through the timber on Coal creek, near the Vanorden home, uprooting trees three feet In diameter. At about the same time a smaller twister was de stroying an orchard In the Fowler set tlement, about five miles southeast of Emporia. Telephone wires are all down and It is impossible to obtain particulars or learn whether any persons have been killed or injured. The Cottonwood river is bank full. In the vicinity of Reading, In this county, the storm was the worst In years. The wind blew a gale from the southwest and was accompanied by a heavy rainfall. The orchards were damaged as were also most of the shade trees. Small buildings were overturn ed and large barns were moved from their foundations and some of them demolished. The wires were consider ably damaged. WRECK AT PERRY, 0. T. Santa Fe Passenger Train Rons Into a Freight. Oklahoma City, Okla., June 24.

The engine and several coaches are reported to have been derailed and a number of persons badly injured, but no one was killed. According to the advices received from the scene of the wreck at the of fice of General Manager J. E. Hurley this morning, the wreck is not as se rious as reported in the above dis patch. The wreck was caused by the engine of No. 405 crashing into the rear end of a freight train which had not yet cleared the main line and gone on to the side track. There were no derailments of any of the passen ger coaches. A few of the freight cars were derailed. The only injury was to Engineer Spunangle of train No. 405 whose foot was badly cut.

Mother," Wlio Claims. Livery Stable Held by Sheriff, Appeals. Another chapter in the troubles of the Rindt family in Dickinson county was opened up in the Supreme court today, when Johanna Rindt appealed from the decision of the Dickinson county court in favor of J. B. Favor .sheriff of Dick inson county, and others. The troubles of the Rindt family commenced when Bertha Schlesener sued Robert Rindt, the son of Johan na Rindt, for damages, alleging that ho had taken advantage of her under promise of marriage. She made a good case against the young man, and secur ed a judgment for several thousand dol lars. Then Bertha Schlesener tried to collect on her Judgment by levying on a livery stable owned by Robert Rindt. This was where the sheriff got into the game, for after he had taken possession of the building, Johanna Rindt steppe in with the declaration that the livery stable really belonged to her, she having purchased It from her son. She said that she had always supposed that the property stood In her na. ie, but that through the deception of her son ,it stood in his name and not in hers. She is trying to have the livery stable re leased from the custody of the sheriff on the ground that Robert Rindt does not own the building. WRUNG MIS NECK. Kidnapers Kill Him to Stop His Noise They Confess. Hide Body in a Swamp Where It Is Found by Searchers. New Orleans, June 24. Two miles in the interior of a big swamp near this city the headless body of Walter Lama na, an Italian child between 7 and 8 years of age, who was kidnapped and held for 6,000 ransom two weeks ago, was found by police and vigilantes. He had been strangled to death, according to the confession of one of the several Italians held by the police. The boy's neck Is supposed to have been broken when he was strangled, causing the head to become separated from the body when decomposition set in. The head was found a short dis tance from the body. Fve Italians, two of them women, are under arrest charged with being accom plices to the murder and extra details of police and deputies are maintaining order in the excited Italian quarter Seventy armed deputies have been plac ed on guard at the Orleans parish pris on, the strongest in the state, where three of the prisoners are held and some apprehension has been felt for the safe ty of the two others who were last night taken to an adjoining parish. The murdered boy was found near St. Rose, about 20 miles from New Orleans. A sweating process wrung a confession from one of the Italian suspects who was taken from his home in St. Rose and carried into the woods by a combin ed force of officials and vigilantes who had the search in charge. This man, Iganslo Campigclano, was kept in the woods an hour, when he confessed, charging four Italians with the murder. He said that about the time of a mass meeting in New Orleans more than a week ago for the purpose of prosecut ing the search for the body, these men, who were In a vacant house in St. Rose, became frightened and consulted about what to do with the child. The boy was crying, begging to be taken home to his parents, said Campigclano, and one of the quartette of the kidnappers grabbed the child and strangled him to death to stop his noise. Later two of the kidneppers, he said, came to him carrying the body in a blanket, and after threatening him with death if he told took the body into a swamp. Campigclano, after relating this story, led the police through two miles of swamp, where the searchers sometimes waded In water nearly waist deep and at others crawled under tangles of briers. In a shallow pool at the end of this search the body was found in the blanket in a clump of cane. Returning to the city the police ar rested Nicolina Gebbla, an Italian wo man who is alleged to have confessed that she knew of the kidnapping plot from the first, from one of the four kid nappers whom she expected to marry. Campigclano said that these four were Stefano Monfre, Tony Gendusa, Angelo Cacatari and an Italian named Incan terra. The police said they expected to cap'ure these men within two or three days. The other prisoners directly im plicated by the confession are Campig ciano's wire, Frank Gendussa and Leon ard Gebvia. OIL FIELD HARD HIT. Lightning Sets Frre to a Number of Bis Storage Tanks.

Are Discharged Unless They Return to Work Today. IF TIIEY COME BACK Later They Will Be Considered as New Employes. Importation of Operators From the East Is Denied. San Francisco, Cal.. June 24 President S. J. Small, of the Commen cial Telegraphers' union, today bald that he had issued no word for a strike at El Paso. "The next strike," said Mr. Small, will be at a larger center than El Paso." No word indicating an early settle- ment of the local telegraphers' strike came from the New York head offlca of the Western Union and Postal companies yesterday. Officials ot both companies in this city say they, have been instructed to have no deal ings with the telegraphers' union: looking toward a settlement, but that former employes will be received as individuals. Unless the striking operators of thm Postal company here and in Oakland return to work today the company says they will be looked upon as dis-. charged employes and their places will be considered filled, according to the orders which have been received, from First Vice President and Gen. eral Manager Nally of New York. A new phase of the strike as it af-. fects the Postal men who are out lies in the fact that after this morning they will lose standing In point of en titling them to pension of 20 per cent of their salaries after 15 years in case, of being incapacitated for work. The pension, which amounts to $150 a year at first, is' Increased at the rata of three per cent each year for 10 years. In case the strikers from the Postal company return after this morning they will be considered new employes and will have no time to their credit. Members of the telegrapners1 union stated yesterday that they had in structed an operator at Sparks, Nev., to ascertain whether it was true that two carloads of telegraphers were, bound westward on an overland train to take the places of local striker. The operator reported that he had learned from the conductor of the train that the cars In question did not contain operators. MURDER IN A DREAM.. Story of the Italian AVho Did Slvootlng on the Kock Island. Goodland, Kan., June 24. John Bello, the Italian who killed a man and wounded two women passengers on a Rock Island train east of here told through an interpreter yesterday the story of the shooting. Bello asserted that he committed the murder in his sleep as the result of a dream. His story, dramatically told, with many and almost tearful protestations of honesty, follows: "My wife and children and I and Patsy Lefranbradi and his wife and children lived In Genoa. We decided to come to the new world and grow rich as we heard it was easy to do. We landed In Boston from the White Star liner Cymric, a few days ago and took a train for the west. We were on tha Way to California. "We were n a strange land, among people whope language we Could not understand. I had been nervous front the time I left home. I dreamed that a man with a white handkerchief over his face had me by the throat and was trying to rob me. "I fought with all my strength. Finally I managed to throw my as sailant off. The robber turned to run. I bad a revolver In my pocket, and X seized it and began to shoot. "All of this was in my sleep. Tha report of the weapon awakened me, and I found myself on my feet with the pistol in my hand, shooting right and left. God knows I did not mean to kill any one. It was all a terrible dream." Carl V. Topp, the tailor who waa killed by the Italian, wp.s asleep In his seat with a white handkerchief over his face. Bello Is In the county Jail here. Ha sits rocking back and forth with his face In his hands muttering In Italian. COL. XOItTON AS AUCTIONEER.- Ho Slakes a Good Record In Selling Farm. Persons desiring the services of a first class auctioneer are recommended to try Col. John Norton, under sheriff. With two bidders on hand, he coaxed $575 more than the appraised value out of a real estate sheriff's sale at 10 o'clock this morning. The sale, which was the result of a suit In partition brought by part of the heirs of James Carroll, deceased, had been advertised, and L. D. Allen, a far mer of Wllllamstown, Kan., came here to bid on the property. Opposing him were William Carroll, one of the heirs, and Martin L. Foltz, a farmer who owns property near the Carroll farm, a mile east of Wakarusn. W. H. Carroll opened the ball by bidding $7,000. which was over two-thirds of the valuation, and Allen raised him a thousand. Car roll bid $9,000, and then Allen came back with $10,000, the apprised valua tion. Carroll then dropped out and Folt began, raising it a hundred over each bid made by Allen, until $10,600 was reached. Then the raises dwindled to $5 and $10, and closed when Foltz bid $10,575 and Allen refused to raise It. The property, which consists of 160 acres of bottom land with good barn and house, has been occupied by Wil liam Carroll, the unmarried heir who stayed at home. Since the death of Car rol, Sr., two years ago, the heirs hav been unable to agree on a price to W. N. Carroll,, who desired to purchase, and the suit In partition was the result.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUEIIALMOND AY; EVENING, JUNE 24, 1907. JONES IS A GIANT Holds Wichita Jobbers In low of His Hand. Hol- Topeka Wins Sunday Game Without Difficulty. JSOT HIT TILL SIXTH. Then Windy Wonders Got Two and a Score. EI? Southpaw Let Down in Jfinth and Allowed Three Bingles. Feewee Jones was again In the box for the Topeka White Sox' at "Wichita yesterday and had the Wichita bunch at his mercy in every stage of the game, Jones pitched a great game against Wichita last Thursday in the opening game of the series and yes terday he repeated his performance in an easy manner. Not until the sixth Inning did Jones allow a single hit and not again until the ninth inning when the game was practically won were the .leaders able to connect with his curves. Pitcher Frank Dick of the Wichita team pitched his first game of the sea eon against Topeka and barring the fifth Inning pitched a creditable game. Dick's support was not of the gilt edged order and the Wichita bunch ceemed to have less confidence in their playing than ever before this season. For the first time in the Topeka series the whole strensrth of the Wichita team was in the field. Buck Weaver returned to work behind the bat and uaptain jack Hoiiana, who was sus pended for dlsorderely conduct, broke back Into the game. He was given an ovation by the Wichita fans and was pissed by the visitors from Topeka who were in the grand stand Topeka started out in her customary manner in the first inning of getting a Tun across the plate without the faint est sign of a hit. Lawler walked and was sacrificed to second by Captain HuriBurt. Abbott's infield out put Lawler on third and the latter scored when Hetling made a poor throw to first on Davis' grounder. In the fifth inning the Topeka men landed with a venseance on Dick's delivery. Erwin was the first up and fooled out to Holland. Kagan singled to left and purloined second. Runkel followed with another single, scoring .Ragan. Olson bunted to Dick and was safe when no one covered first base. Pitcher Jones then contributed to win ning his own game by scoring two men with a two bagger to the center field fence. Lawler went out and advanced Jones to third where he scored when Kelly missed an easy grounder from Hurlburt's bat. Spec started for sec ond but a good throw of Weaver's punctured his plans. The last run of the Champs came In the ninth inning. Holland dropped Annls' throw of Davis' grounder and the crimson complected gentleman was safe at first.- Erwin singled and then after the tiext two were out Ol son doubled to center field, scoring Davis. Not a hit was secured off Jones until the sixth inning when- Dick opened up with a two bagger over Hurlburfs head: after the next two were retired Hetling singled to right field, scoring Dick. In the ninth Jones took a llttel re laxation and allowed the Wichita team a little practice in base running. Nich ols singled as a starter and Hetling flew out to Ragan. Nichols started for second and when no one covered the bag on Erwln's throw went to third. Bayless secured a two sacker inside the third base line, scoring Nichols. Holland went out but Weaver singled, scoring Bayless. Annis went out in easv shape and the "series was ended with the teams even. This is the first time such a thing has occurred on the Wichita grounds this season and the followers of the Breeze bunch are much discouraged as a result. A large crowd of Topeka rooters were at the game and kept things in teresting. In the field Olson was the star, as he pulled off several remarkable stops. The score: TOPEKA. Player A P.. K.

Wichita, Kan., June 24. Speer was at his best Saturday and won his game from the Topeka team by the score of 3 to 0. He had all of the visiting batsmen guessing, only three of Uiem being able to connect safely. The visitors were able to get men on second but twice during the game and to third but once. In the eighth inn ing Davis knocked a hard liner to the left field fence but was unable to get past first base owing to the excellent fielding of Milan, who caught the ball as It bounded from the boards and made a perfect throw to second. Had the ball been a foot higher it would have cleared the fence for a home run. Tonneman knocked a grounder to Annls who caught Davis at second base. Ragan struck out and Nichols dropped Runkle's easy popup to cen terfleld. Tonneman reaching second base on the misplay. After keeping the spectators onledgcby knocking several hard drives along the foul lines Olson knocked a hard liner straight to Becker and the visitors' chances for scoring were ended. Wichita made one in the second inning on a two bagger by Annls, a sacrifice by Kelley and a single by Speer. In the fifth inning two more were added. Milan knocked a two base drive to the right field fence and stole third. Hetling knocked a grounder to Runkle, who booted it and Milan scored while Hetling landed safe at the first station. Bayless pounded out two bagger and Hetling went to third, scoring a moment later on Becker's clean single. The locals had an excellent chance to sew up the game in the first inn ing but failed. Milan singled; Mc Lear bunted arid Runkle threw the ball wild to first, Abbott making a fine stop; with Milan and McLear on the bases Hetling fouled out and Bayless struck out; Bunten purposely walked Becker and Nichols knocked a high fly to Hurlburt making the last out. Olson played a great game at sec ond base, his work being the equal of any seen here this year. A deal has been practically closed whereby Clyde Milan, the popular left fielder of the local team will go to the Washington American league team at the close of the present season. C. D. Blankenship, the Washington repre sentative will remain here until the close of the present series. The score: TOPEKA. Player AB. R. TI. 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 A. 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 4 5 0 E Lawler, If.

Seldom has it been that a ball game such as that of yesterday afternoon at Eclipse park has been played on Louisville diamond. At the end of the twelfth inning Umpire Egan in the fast gathering gloaming of the depart ing June day called the game on ac count of darkness, thereby ending the hostilities with the score standing tie 3 to 3 and every person within the tall painted fences, which includ ed spectators, players and batcarriers, was glad that it was over says the Louisville Courier Journal. It had been a nerve-testing strug gle, which began at 3:30 o clock and was ended by the word of the umpire at 6:30 o clock. As a matter of fact it was a pitch ers' battle pure and simple, but before this part of the story is entered into it must be known that the eight play ers behind each of these twirlers gave them almost perfect support. And then for days to come the thousand or more fans who witnessed" the contest will remember with a great deal of pleasure the names of Larry Quinlan and Dick Cooley. In the nintn inning yuinian un doubtedly saved the Colonels from de feat by as pretty a hit as was ever made on a ball ground, and It came at exactly the right moment. Then In the eleventh Inning, Cooley, the first man up, hit a line drive midway be tween right and center and the ball rolled and rolled and rolled, and stop ped only when near the fence and Cooley landed at third base. Suter Bulllvan followed with a slashing sin gle to center and Cooley trotted home. But of all times, with the exception of the moment when Quinlan made his famous single to left center and Cooley laced out his long triple. Wick er was as a stone wall. Dick Cooley Was Percentage of 286. Columbus, June 24. Gessler still leads the American association bat ters. He has been out of the game for almost two weeks and his great aver age of .376 for thirty-eight games still eclipses the efforts of the other batters.

Milan, the fast little left fielder of the Wichita team, was sold last Saturday night to the Washington team In the American league for one thousand dol lars. The sale was made after Catcher Blankenship, of the Washington team,. who Is now on a scouting expedition watched his work at Wiichita. Milan will remain with the Wichita team un til the end of the present season and will not report to Washington until next spring. Buck Weaver broke into the. game behind the plate for Wichita yesterday. Weaver seems to have it on all the other cachers In the association and throws with an accuracy that is remark able. But few bases were stolen on Weaver during the season. At the game yesterday in Wichita there was none of the customary rag chewing with the umpire nor beefing over f lose decisions which has marked the greater part of the series. Umpire Ver Schure worked In the game and his work was above criticism. He ran the game from start to finish and only a few objections were registered and tho3e from McLear, who is well experienced in this line. The Novelty theatre was crowded Sunday to hear the returns of the Wichita-Topeka game and the experi ment was a pronounced success. The locals and the Wichita team came up last night .in a special coach on the excursion train. Pitcher Wright, the new acquisition to the White Sox, returned with the team and looks good. He has worlds of speed and good head and control. He is over-six feet In height and is one of the tallest men In the association. After dropping two games to Topeka the Wichita bunch seems somewhat discouraged. This is the first time such thing has happened this season on the home grounds and with the locals playing the kind of ball they are now three straights would not be a surpris ing feat on the home grounds. Captain Hurlburt undoubtedly had grounds for his protest of Friday's game. The play was on a passed ball which had hit the grand stand and which rebounded to the plate in suffl cient time to enable Bayless to throw the ball to Young in time to tag Hurl burt on his way across the plate. Ac cording to the rules of the game a base- runner is entitled to a base when the ball hits the grand stand and cannot be LAUNDRY Bundles received by 9 a. m. finished same day if desired, no extra charge.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOUBNAIr MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1907. NEEDS DRUGSTORE Brewster, in Thomas Co. Also "Wants Better Train Service. a With These Two Matters Set tied Town Will Be Happy. TO HAVE NEWSPAPER. The Tributary Territory Is in Thriying Condition. There Are Fire Steam Plows at Work Bain or Shine. Brewster. June 24. Thomas county has several good town3 outside of Colby, the county seat. In the list, Brewster can be claimed. The town was named by the Rock Island road In honor of one of their employes named Brewster, who resided in Topeka for a number of years. The pioneer merchant Is H. E. Jacobs, who came to Thomas county in 1886, and started his store in 18S8. He is the postmaster, besides carries a full line of general merchandise. Mr. Brew ster has watched the ups and downs of pioneer life in Thomas county, and has no cause to regret that he is one among them at this time. The two elevators, in Brewster handled 400 carloads of wheat and barley in 1906. which will go to show that this section of Thomas county can and does raise small grain. The country tributary to Brewster is not only level and sightly, but her farmers appear well to do. There is Wm. Bear, who owns 13 quarters, who it is believed would not sell a quarter for $20 an acre, besides he is putting up a 13.000 residence. Chas. Shells. A. H Fink. H. M. Wilson. Chas. Petty, James Anderson. Chas. Mayer. Fred Desmondt C. V. Jones, W. H. Kelley. John Wal ters and scores of other farmers tribu tary to Brewster own well improved farms, most of them having some hogs and cattle, and comfortable living in houses costing from $1,500 to $3,000. Such farmers have little reason to get blue if they don"t raise full crops every year. Besides there are five steam plows at work tributary to Brewster. Brewster has practically grown up since February, 190a. At that time there was only one building on the east side of her main business street: to day there are eleven business houses. In 1906 there was built 20 residences and four business houses. The town now has a population of over 200. Good water is obtained at a depth of 120 feet. The place needs a drug store, no joint if you please, but a legitimate drug gist will do well here. The town will have a newspaper and G. W. Woods an old newspaper man will print his first paper here this week. The Methodists have a church at a cost of about $3,000. Brewster Camp. No. 8623, M. W. A., has increased their membership to 80, while the Odd Fellows have a thriving lodge of 40 members. On the 1st of July, 1905, the Brewster State bank was organized with Ike W. Crumley, of Colby, member of the legislature from Thomas county, as president, J. B. Hampton, vice presi dent, and W. L. Gouter, cashier. At the close of business. March 1907, this bank had cash and sight exchange, $53, ees.OS. The cash and surplus is over $16,000: the deposits both individual and certificates. $S9,771.83. Other business associations in the town are two elevat ors, lumber yard, three general stores, hardware and implements harness, ex clusive clothinB house, feed mill, meat market, four real estate firms, black smith shop, livery, hotel, restaurant and milliners. It has a good school, which will be increased in size before the fall term. And these business firms see nothing at present to discourage them. The people of Brewster believe in beautifying their town and making it attractive. This spring they set out 300 Caroline poplars, furnished by the J. H. Skinner nursery, of Topeka. Strange to say they are all living and doing nicely. The railroad service is awful. More than half a dozen passenger trains pass and repass Brewster daily besides that many freight trains, while only one passenger and freight train stop to take on passengers, and the passenger train only runs east as far as Belleville. The place deserves better railroad conven iences than this. One of the big pushers for Brewster In A. C. Chance, one of the young busi ness men of the town and manager of the Chicago lumber yard. He is en thusiastic for Brewster, and bespeaks for the place a brighter outlook from now on than ever before. ed mind and application was made to admit him to the state asylum. About eix weeks ago Mr. Loom is was married to Miss Mary Tucker, a Walnut" girl. Shortly after the marriage his bride was taken very sick and has since been at the point of death. Worry over her condition and constant attendance at the side or his bride resulted In his rnind giving way. ATCHISOX SAIiOOXS CLOSE. Unity-five Kesorts Obey the latest Orders From the Governor. Atemson, Kan.. June 24. In obedience to orders served by the sneriix ana tne cmer of police, Atch ison's saloons closed Saturday night. in serving the notices the sheriff found thirty-five places in the- city ana suDuros where intoxicating liquors were sold. Little excitement attended the closing. At 10 o'clock only four arrests for drunkenness had been made. Several of the saloon men will open up their places of Dusiness -Monday for the sale of "2 per cent" and soft drinks. A SEVERE UAHi STORM. In the Vicinity of Lincoln Wheat and Windows Destroyed. Lincoln Center, Kan., June 24. Saturday night a destructive hail storm formed about three miles southwest of this place and passed di rectly over the town in a northeast erly direction, continuing Its work of destruction for some seven or eight miles from here. The total area covered was about two miles wide and ten miles long, much wheat being totally destroyed and much more badly damaged. All windows not protected were broken out. Iron awnings were pierced as by bullets. It was the most severe hail storm this locality has experienced In years. Young Bridegroom Insane. Pittsburg. Kan., June 24. John Loomfs, a hignly respected and pros perous young farmer of southeast of here, was taken into custody here late Saturday, suffering from an unbalanc- srXDAT CHAITTAl-QUA SUCCESS. Large Crowds Out at Ottawa Despite Ministers Protests. Ottawa. Kan.. June 24. A sermon by Governor Henry A. Buchtel. of Colorado, on the topic, "The Religion of Tomorrow," was heard by 5,000 people at the Ottawa Chautauqua as sembly Sunday afternoon. It was the assembly's first attempt to give a paid Sunday programme, and the effort was carried out against determined opposition from many of the min isters. Heavy rains early In the morning interfered with the patronage of ex cursion trains, which, however, brought in several hundred people. The day's programme closed with a sacred concert directed by Professor Samuel Thorstenberg, of Lindsborg. Santa Fe Is Sued for Damages. Cottonwood Falls, Kan., June 24. Suit has been brought against the Santa Fe Railway company by the heirs of P. P. Schriver and "Warren Peck of Cedar Point, for damages on account of the death of the latter, who were killed by a Santa Fe passenger train several months ago. The sum of $10,000 is the amount asked by the heirs of each. On February 16, Mr. Peck and Mr. Schriver were both killed at a railway crossing one mile west of Cedar Point while attempting to cross the track in a buggy. RAILR0AD NEWS, Telegraph Poles of Concrete Are the Latest. Being Given Exhaustive Tests by the Pennsylvania. MEET REQUIREMENTS. In Fact They Stand Greater Strain Than Wooden Ones. Other Items of Interest to Railway People. Wichita Firemen Want Jobs Back. Wichita. Kan.. June 24. Five men who were 'dismissed from the Wichita fire department by the Independent administration." have retained counsel to represent them in mandamus pro ceedings to be brought against Mayor Graham, compelling him to reinstate them in the service. Their claim is that the Wichita department is governed by civil service rules and that he discharg ed them for political reason. A Xe.tatorium for Sallna. Salina, Kan.. June 24. John L. Bish op has let the contract for the con struction of a natatorium to be erect ed immediately. Work on the construc tion will begin at once and it is ex pected the natatorium will be ready for use in 40 days. The building will have a frontage of 50 feet on Santa Fe avenue and will be 120 feet deep. It will be a one story structure. Exhaustion of the timber resources of the country is forcing the railroads to resort to various expedients to pro. vide themselves with substitutes, and In future years very little wood may be used in the construction and operation of the railroada The latest device of this kind is telegraph poles made of concrete. The Pennsylvania road, as the great experimenter in the railroad world, has undertaken the task "of demonstrating the adaptability of the new material for this purpose, and its efforts already appear to be assured of success. J. B. McKim. superintendent of the western :ines of the system, has made and set u along the Pittsburg and Fort wayne, near Maples, Ind., 53 graceful concrete poles. After a year's use they are pronounced a great success. They show no signs of disintegration from climatic or atmospheric influences, but, on the contrary, harden and apparently become more enduring as they age. They approach the minimum in weight, are small in section and appear to be free from any serious objection. It is expected that they will be much more economical than timber poles. In working out the plans for these concrete poles great attention was paid to securing the maximum of strength with the minimum of weight, and hoi low tubes were selected. One of the patterns was square In section, with the corners taken off; another pattern was octagonal in section, with the hoi low space extending from the base for about two-thirds of the length of the pole, the upper third being solid. The walls of the lower two-thirds were from three to one and three-quarter inches thick. The poles weigh approximately 3,500 pounds each. They are 30 feet high, and are set in concrete, the bases being three by three feet and set five feet deep. Just within the outer surface the walls of the concrete poles are rein forced with iron rods, consisting of four three-quarter inch bars, each (24) feet long, and also four Inch round bars of the same length -tv f Ses -VC III DAK WIN P.

U.S.A. four stations on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in Kansas are affected by the enforcement of the 2-cent fare law in Missouri, by reason of the fact tnat Joplin. Mo., and Kansas City are at the ends of branch lines on this rall- wav. The new rates go Into errect to- dav. and from some of the Kansas stations the fare will be less than 2 cents ner mile. This peculiar situation was caused bv the fact that nearly the entire run between these two Missouri points is made In Kansas. The regular com petitive low fare from Joplin to Kan sas Citv for 150 miles of another rail way under the new tariff is $3. To ride from Joplin to Kansas City upon the Missouri. Kansas and Texas, the run to Parsons on the Joplin division is made, then either by the Neosho or Parsons divisions to Moran, ana on to destination. The intermediate station ruling re quires that all other stations on the line shall have no fare above the $3 Joplin-Kansas City rate, as was out lined In instructions made to Missouri, Kansas and Texas agents in Kansas today. A number of stations will have a rate under this ruling of nearly 1 cents per mile and the rate from Par sons to Kansas City is slightly more than 2 cents. 1906, $46,655,378.51; 1907 606.99; increase for 1907, 228.40.

Kansas City, Mo., June 24. Presi dent Roosevelt and the governors of several states have been asked to aid the National union of railway track men in a campaign for greater safe ty In railway travel. J. I. Sheppard of Fort Scott, Kan., secretary of the organization sent out a letter yester day addressed to the president and several governors In wbich he says: "If we can obtain the co-operation of all who should be interested we will have as safe conditions for railway travel in our country as prevail in Europe. We certainly should have either government or state inspection of railway tracks. Some one should be held responsible to tbe people for keeping the tracks in proper repair, and properly patrolled. "It is a curious condition of affairs, but It Is. true. We have state inspec tion of factories and mines, of beer, barber, pharmacists and dentists; there is state control over the product of the busy bee, and the farmer who raises wheat must pay a state inspec tion fee before he can market his grain. But there is now no law that Is observed that provides for the Inspec tion of railroad tracks." Charter for Frisco's Shops. Jefferson City, Mo., June 24. Gen eral Solicitor Parker of the St. Louis and San Francisco filed on Saturday the articles of incorporation of the Frisco Car and Engine company of St. Louis, capitalized at $100,000.

By com plaining to the Interstate commerce commission tha Amarillo Gas com pany of Amarillo, Tex., has forced the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad to reduce Its rates on oil shipments to Amarillo. The company recently filed with the commission a complaint in which it alleged that the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe was charging thirty-nine and forty-nine cents a hundred pounds on crude oil from points in Indian territory and Kansas San Francisco, June- -24. General Frederick Funstori admits that in his letter to the Fourth of July committee of this city he used the expression "Unwhipped mob" but that it was not directed against any set of men except what he terms the "uncontrollable ele ment." It has developed that in reply to the committee invitation to the government troops to participate in the proposed parade. General Funston said that in asmuch as the men will leave on Julv 5 to go Into camp he did not de sire to have them do so much march ing the day previous. He suggested that if the matter was referred to Col. Ludeen he might be glad to furnish three batteries of light artillery for the occasion. General Funston is quoted as saying: "But I would be loathe to have the troops parade if they were' to be sneer ed at and Jeered at by an unwhipped mob." When asked for a statement over the telephone. General Funston, who was at Monterey, replied: "My letter is written in plain Eng lish and any one who understands plain English can understand the let ter." When pressed further as to whom he referred to as an "unwhipped mob," General Funston said he meant only the uncontrollable element. CHEAP EASTERN TRIP.

Wright says the pres ident's strongest epithet la "By George!" but he couldn't make some railroad magnates believe It. Secretary Taft apparently first heard of his determination not to run for president from eastern dispatches In corporation newspapers. These dispatches were evidently a 'where the wish Is father c case the thought. The tall of a comet Is supposed to have caused that hot spell In March. No comet better leave Its tail around In this vicinity now, for the Fourth of July Is coming, and tails frequently get something tied to them on that date If they are handy. The publishers of Nature Writer Long's books are rushing through a special edition of the wolf story that President Roosevelt specifically crit icised "in response to a sudden de man"' for It. Here Is a pointer for other struggling authors whose works go uncalled for. i a Charles Blakesley notes that "the ceremonies at the League Island navy yard this week gave Governor Hoch the first chance he has had for sev eral months to pluck choice flowers from the conservatory of his soul." Then the governor must have had an exceptionally fine bouquet to hand out. Ice sells at two-bits a hundred pounds down at Houston, and the ice crop is short every winter down there. Bvldently the crop of natural ice makes little difference with prices, for northern cities pay from 40 to 60 cents a hundred for Ice and think they are getting off easy. Are there no Ice trusts In Texas? "Kansas," says the Chicago Live Stock World, "is able to contribute more hard-luck crop yarns than the general public supposed Mr. Coburn's constituency was capable of." Yes, our crop of yarns is quite frequently a record-breaker. Just as are some of our other crops. What's the use of doing anything by halves? The Ottawa Herald is evidently hot. In a moment of annoyance It says: "While the tribunal at The Hague Is frittering away its time discussing the world's peace, the question of the world's comfort presses home in sev eral million hot offices, and Is given emphasis and reinforcement by sever al million starched shirts." It Isn't very often that Bent Mur Cock endorses anything Governor Hoch says these days, but this para graph appeared in the El Dorado Re publican a few days ago: "Governor Hoch, who was interviewed at every street crossing while in Washington last week, said that Roosevelt would be renominated and reelected presi dent. Hoch der Roosevelt." M. M. Beck, of the Holton Record er, puts it this way: "The Recorder Tribune occasionally runs up against question of very difficult solution. When It comes to deciding where we should bestow our sympathy In the controversy between the Standard Oil company and a sort of get rich quick concern like we fear the Uncle Sam Oil company is, we haven't much to say. If we were to indulge in remark at all It would be 'hurrah for one, well done t'other.' Both Fairbanks and Taft have sup porters among Kentucky Republicans. Neither candidate was endorsed by name by the state convention Thurs day, but it did urge the nomination of "a man who is In- full accord and sympathy with the purposes of the present administration and will carry eut its policies." No mistaking whom that means, as between Taft and Fairbanks. Then the resolution con cludes: "No ather can or should command the confidence and support of the people." More trouble is breeding down In the Territory. At Colllnsvllle a 'beau ty show" will be held on the Fourth of July, and a prise of 175 In gold will be given to the most beautiful young woman, 150 to the second handsomest and $25 to the third belle on the ground. There will be fifty contestants. The rules provide, among other things, that three bachelors shall be selected as judges, and It Is believed "woman haters" will be chosen. Tulsa will be allowed fifteen representatives. Bar tlesvllle eight, Ramona five. Oolagah four, Sklateck three and Colllnsvllle fifteen. It Is doubtful- If Satan him self could hatch a more fertile, plan for producing trouble than that. NO CONVENTIONS WANTED. The opponents of the direct pri mary are asserting that the recent Democratic primary In Oklahoma demonstrates that the system la an extremely expensive one to the candi dates, and they are pointing, to It as an object lesson against the primary. Aa has been pointed out In these columns, the candidate can spend much or little, the same as he can un der the convention system. There is one object lesson in con nection with the Oklahoma expert ment to which the machine force do not point, however, and that is one vindicating the defeat of the hybrid measure proposed by the Kansas state senate, last winter. Thia hybrid measure allowed the politicians to have a -convention whenever they de. sired, simply by "Jumping Up" enough candidates to prevent a majority nomination, and, that Is just what tne people ao not want. Down in Oklahoma a. convention was held a few days ago to formulate a platform on which the nominees of the primaries are to run. In the pri maries the people had declared for prohibition; but did the politicians ratify that action in their convention? Not for a moment. They compro mised with the 'liquor- Interests and placed the candidates on a platform that Is not what the rank and file de clared for In the primaries. Very likely the liquor Interests will now look after the campaign fund. That is the way a convention acts. If the proper pressure is brought to bear on It, it will not hestitate to be tray the- people and do something they are against. That Is why the people are not for the convention system, or any form of it. DOXT LET CP. Now that the $75,000 campaign for Washburn Is rearing Its close, some may think that It is no longer neces sary to work as hard on the proposition. This is not the case. Confidence on the eve of what may seem to be a victory Is the cause of many a defeat. If tho effort that has been made Is to falter in the least, the hoped for end may never be reached. What Is true of those In charge is also true of those who are still contemplating a gift to the institu tion. Those gifts that have not yet been made should be made soon. There are only a few more days in which to raise the money and there is still much to be raised. Let no one stop now in confidence that It Is all Over because July first is only a week away and $14,- 800. is still to come. One remark that has been made, by many Is that President Plass has a card up his sleeve to pull out at the last minute to make up all that is not raised. President Flass has publlcly announced that "no gifts have been held back. All who have contributed to the fund have had their names an nounced, except a few who did not de sire it done, and in these cases the amounts have been announced." Nothing is held back to spring at the last minute. If that were the case it would be announced at once. All those who are interested would demand it. As it is, the remaining $14,000, or so, is still to be raised by tbe same old up-hill pulling. It is to be hoped that no one Is holding back with the purpose of let ting the others subscribe first, and in this way o hide himself. It is not the way to serve the city and one's self. The only thing to do is to subscribe to the fund, and do it immediately. THE MIND OF THE MOB. Should some one make a collection of all accounts of'assaults on umpires during a baseball season, what a show ing it would make! The baseball fan, although he may be a peaceable and order-loving citizen in the daily affairs of life, appears to be extremely sub ject to brain storm while occupying the bleachers, and if the umpire makes a decision that does not appear right to him his rage is unbounded. The recent episode at Wichita is by no means unusual, for the mobbing of an umpire is an almost daily occur rence on some American baseball field. Nor is the trouble indigenous to baseball. Ln England, at the derby, a bookmaker is in danger of his life should he happen to go broke. In France conditions are even worse on account of the excitable nature of the French people. We sometimes poke fun at the average college youth because of his vociferous tendencies at intercollegiate games. He appears to waste his energy in blasting holes in the atmosphere with his lungs. But the college youth really is not as foolish as is the excited mob at a league baseball game. He may yell hla head off metaphorically but a collge boy has rarely assaulted an umpire, no matter how great the provocation. All enthusiasm at col lege Is organized and under the leader ship of some particular person or per sons. This is not so at professional athletic games. The enthusiasm is never organized. It is smlply hit or miss. The crowd is tyrannical ln its relations to the officials, players and its own members. One minute a play er is worshiped, and at the very next there is a roar of denunciation for the same individual. The umpire risks bodily Injury If he makes a radical mistake or loses his temper at a critical time. A pitcher's arm plays out. and with total lack of considera tion he is cursed by the crowd because of that fact. The mob will divide over a decision and almost cone to blows in its discussion. Professor George E. Vincent has a striking lecture on -"The Mind of the Mob," in which he takes up this ten dency of even the staid and sober citi zen to become wildly excited over our national same. It is one of the pre rogatives of the vigorous American, Yet if carried too far thia spirit de- teriorates Into rowdyism and nothing wil kill the game more quickly than that. Enthusiasm Is all right, but as. saults on umpires and abuse of players are not. JOURNAL ENTRIES This la the time of year that the college graduate and the chigger both. get busy.

The mother of the average boy discov ers so many spots on her son at this season of the year that Rev. Mr. Hicks claim should not be considered tor a moment.

Thus does Providence again provide for those who simply must have an excuse ror snaice Due medicine. Judge Andrews, whom the Populists elected district judge out in Rush and adjoining counties for several terms, has turned plutocrat. He is a banker and has Just built a three-story house. Terrible idea suggested by the Hol ton Recorder: Suppose the teamsters driving the brewers beer wagons in Kansas City. Kan., should conclude to strike, who would be responsible for those who would famish from thirst? "Secretary Cortelyou has called in all the $10,000 bills of currency now out," explains Gomer Davies. and he adds: "We make mention of this fact at this time, so that the local grocers may understand why we may ask credit for a few weeks, until we can get our bills changed into a smaller denomination." Ottawa Herald: C. E. Reed, who brings in a wagon load of milk every day from Pomona, had to put four horses to his load this morning on ac count of the mud. He has been bring ing in about 2.000, pounds of milk ev ery day for about two years and eacn load nets him about $25. The milk is -not quite all his own; he hauls some for other farmers. No inconsiderable part of the in come of express companies comes from cream.- Listen to this from the Atchison Globe: "What was probably the largest quantity Of cream ever han dled by the messengers of the Central Branch on a single run was put on board last Saturday night. Part of it was unloaded at Concordia, and the balance went to St. Joe. It consisted of 509 cans, and weighed 60,900 pounds." Match-it-if-you-can item from the Sabetha Herald: "Guess this will hold Kansas City society for awhile. A Nemaha county man Is putting up his entire family at the hotel Marie An toinette in New York to the tune of five dollars a day apiece, and to the number four for a month, to attend the nuptials of his daughter. The wedding itself will cost him $3,000 to say nothing of bridal gifts, trousseau, etc. There now." QUAKER REFLECTION. From the Philadelphia Record. A man has to have a certain amount of wisdom to realize what' a fool he is. The fellow who turns tail must ex pect to be talked about behind his back. There are lots of men under a cloud who never stole an umbrella in their lives. The people who preach that honesty s the best policy have evidently tried both ways. One way to stand well with the women Is to give up your seat to them In a crowded car. A girl can't always tell how much a fellow loves her from the way he takes to drink after she has refused him. A man feels cheap when he thinks he has been libeled until he brings suit, and then he places the highest value on himself. Mrs. Bugglns "James, dear, wake up: I'm sure there is something mov ing down in the cellar." Mr. Bugglns "Oh, go to sleep; it's only the gas meter." Magistrate "Tou are charged with being drunk and disorderly; what have you to say for yourself?" Pris oner "Tour Honor, my only excuse is that my wife is cleaning house; can't you send me up for ten days?" First West Philadelphlan "It takes me 35 minutes to get home every evening." Second West Philadelphlan -"Why, I get home, in 15 minutes, and I live right around the corner from you." First West: Philadelphlan "Yes. but you walk and I use .the trolleys." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Honesty is the best paid-up policy. Anything that is almost right is wrong. It's well to remember that It is a mistake to forget a favor. A confidence man has very little confidence In other people. You can't dodge the worst by sitting down and hoping for the best. The man who lives in the past car ries his headlight on the wrong end. If a woman is willing to let a man talk it Is because she has nothing to telL Anyway, the weather hasn't In spired much poetry of the beautiful spring brand. One trip on the sea of matrimony is sufficient to induce a prolonged spell of seasickness. There seems to be more charitable ness connected with the brotherhood of man than there is with the sister hood of woman. KANSAS COMMENT EDUCATION THAT WTTTPS. Western states are beginning to pay attention to the sort of education that will improve the state. Colorado is cnieny a minin- state and lare-e an propriations are made each year to c-lciiu me work of the School o Mines. Missouri's natural industries are diversified, and, besides support ing a competent school of mines, t great deal of attention is given to the State College of Agriculture. For two years this college has been working un a map snowing the details and va rious soil types of every township in iu Buiie. mapping is to be fol lowed by careful rhomlral omlna tions, and field experiments on each particular type. The object is to help the farmers to cultivate their land more intelligently, and raise more crops from the land. In one locality wi- yieia or waeat has been increased un-cn uusneis per acre by proper irraiment or the soil. Just think what a great benefit this work will be to the state when it is completed. The Kansas State Agricultural college has in recent years made special effort to -aucate tne farmers to a more Intel ngent handling of their land and crops. Many farmers turn up their uuk-b at mis scientific farm ni while others take advantage of the free edu cation ana Droflt bv it. Thi stats Ag ricultural college endorsed the King roaddrag several years ago. but it can not make- some farmers believe it is to their advantage to use it. This college has found out by years of ex perimenting now to select the heut seed that is fertile, and will produce a guuu nana an over tne neld. There are sensible iniDrovements everv dav in every line of business, and there is no reason why there should not be im proved ways of farming. Atchison IMPROBABLE. In the first place, the storv that the president yelled at the Georgia ora tors to "cut it out" lacks nlausihllitv. Anybody but a nature faker such as tne president Is not knows that the habit of the public- speaker, when aroused, is not to cut It out but to string it out. The president can hardly be charged with having ig nored the customs of the animal. Ottawa Herald. KANSAS CITY'S DEPOT. The new depot grant in Kansas Citv is good for 999 years.

Washington Star. The First Enlisted Union Man. A contest for the honor of being the first man to enlist in the army or tne north during the Civil war has been in progress in congress and in the war department bureaus between William M. De Hart, of Logansport, Ind., and Charles Franklin Rand, of Washing ton, both doctors. The claims of De Hart have been in the hand of Sena tor Albert J. Beyerldge and Congress man Frederick Landis. His cham plons have been fighting to gain for the Logansport man an honor mat nas already been bestowed upon the Washington man bv act of Congress. They are fighting to secure for In diana an honor which they claim has been wrongly appropriated, by act of the legislature at Albany, as a preroga tive of the state of New York. Within an hour after the news of the fall of Fort Sumter had been flash ed over the wires. De Hart had enroll ed himself the first, as he believes, of an army that, all told, subsequently consisted of 2.778.304 men. The rec ords of congress and the records of New York state, however, declare Rand to have been the first. These same records also show Rand enlisted two days after De Hart. Documents sent to Washington attest the enlist ment of De Hart at 9 o clock, April is. 1861. The honors Rand has been giv en were based on oiriciai recoras showing he enlisted April 15th and was mustered in May 13, 1861. Mean while, De Hart, according to his sup porters, was already on his way to the front, arriving in time to participate in the first battle of the Civil war at Phllippi, June 3rd. De Hart's documents Indicate he en listed two days before Lincoln's call for 75,000 troops. Rands claim is simply to have been "the first man to volunteer after Lincoln's call," and this honor awarded him by congress, it Is claimed, makes no recognition of several Indiana men who. seeing 'the nation's peril, volunteered before the call was issued. In Albany's state house Rand's picture Is hung, with a record of his history as the first vol unteer among the 448,850 men the state sent to the war. Honors have been showered upon Rand by Eng land. Russia, Germany, France, Persia. Mexica. Egypt. India, Norway and Japan. The war department has giv en him a large pension; the senate records devote six pages to a tribute to his services; and a lot in Arlington cemetery, Washington, has been pre sented to him to shelter his remains when "taps" sounds. De Hart does not seek to disparage one triumph of Rand, but demands recognition as the first volunteer of the northern army. A. R. Keesling in Leslie's Weekly. .Did Ho Plan to Assassinate Lincoln?. In Harper's for June. Col. W. H. Crook, who was Lincoln's personal body guard, tells how a mysterious stranger whom he believes to have been Surrat attempted to reach President Lincoln at City Point. Not long before the final assault up on Petersburg."1 says Col. Crook, "a curious- incident happened.- A man came on board the River Queen and asked Captain Bradford if he could see the president. He was referred to me. Mr. Lincoln Instructed me not to ad mit any one but General Grant or Ad miral Porter, so I told the man that the president was not to be seen. The visi tor became very much excited. He said that he had rendered Mr. Lincoln valu able services in Illinois during his cam paign for the presidency, and had spent large sums of money. He was in trou ble; he must see the president. He protested that he was known to Mr. Lincoln personally. I asked his name. At first he refused to give it, but flnal- al said that it was 'Smith' and that he lived near Mr. Lincoln s home in Illi nois. I went to the president and carried Smiths message. Mr. Lincoln laughed at first. 'Smith Is, of course, an uncom mon name." Then he became serious. If what he says is true, I would know him. But I do not. The man is an im postor, and I won't see him.' I went back to 'Smith' with the pres ident's answer. The man was very much disturbed, and again begged to be allowed to see him. When that fall ed he tried to bribe me to take him to Mr. Lincoln. I ordered him to leave the boat at once, and when he delayed told him I would have him arrested if he did not. He turned to Captain Bradford and said defiantly. If Mr. Lincoln does not know me now, he will know me damned soon after he does see me.' He went on shore, and the moment after he had crossed the gangplank he dis appeared. I watched him, but could not see "where he had gone. After the death of Mr. Lincoln, every one was anxious to discover the ac complices of the murderer. I called at tention to this man 'Smith who had tried so hard to be admitted to Lincoln's presence at City Point. It was known that Surrat had been at City Point at that time, and I was requested to visit Surrat and see If I could identify him as 'Smith.' I went to court, and Taddle went with me. I had seen Surrat before the war; we had lived ln the came coun ty in Maryland. I think 'Smith' and Surrat were the same man. It was Im possible for me to be absolutely sure. For 'Smith' was ragged and dirty and very much sunburnt; he looked like a tramp. While Surrat, at the time I saw him, looked like a very sick man, pale and emaciated. In every other re spect they looked alike. The difference in appearance might easily have been brought about by circumstances or by a slight disguise. I shall always believe that Surrat was seeking an opportunity to assassinate the president at this time." His Strongest Expression. In his weekly lecture to the students of Clark college. President Carroll D. Wright, who was former commissioner of labor in Washington, today spoke of the characteristics of President Roosevelt, whom he has known for twenty-five years. Among other things. President Wright said: "He is impul sive, vigorous, and full of action; so frank that he Is sometimes brutal. frank to the point of being indiscreet; impulsive ln speech, but not in action; man who has his faults, yet one whom we can not help loving. He is Indiscreet in his Judgment of stran gers." President wrignt also told or tne only swear word ever used by Mr. Roosevelt. The latter said to him dur ing the big coal strike: "Weil go into tnis coal strike u it takes a lex." Wright replied: "Yes, we'll go Into it if it takes a life." "Yes, by George, we will," respond ed the president. Worcester Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer. THE EVENING STORY Behind the Choir Curtain. (By Virginia Blair.) There had been an Immense amount of irreverence In the choir before tha neWj Soprano came. The Tenor and the contralto and the Bass and the old Soprano had flirted from the opening anthem to the benediction, and as they were hidden from the congregation by a green baize curtain there had been ao scandal, although certain members of the session had complained of weird sounds that had seemed to echo from the organ loft and die ln the steeple, With the advent of the new Soprano, however, came' a different state of af fairs. Both the Tenor and the Bass fell ln love with her at sight, and the con tralto, being 40 and fat and fair, sub mitted comfortably to the new singer's conquest and smiled on her ln a way unprecedented in choir history, where the green-eyed monster is supposed to rage rampant. The new Soprano was not Irreverent, and hence it came about that romance was succeeded by religion, and tho Tenor and the Bass paid strict atten tion to the responses and to the sermon, and bent their heads during prayers; al though so earnest were the Soprano's meditations that the Bass was con strained now and then to glance at her, and after intercepting the Tenor's ard ent observation would again seem wrap ped in his devotions. At the time of the opening prayer the sun came through the rose window. A white dove spread his wings against the stained glass background, and- as the Soprano stood up for her solo and seemed to hover over her head, and her shining hair made a golden halo. "Oh, she's too good to be true," the Bass told the Tenor as they went home together one Sunday in May. "She is perfect." the Tenor declared. fervently; "we are a lot of sinners, and she has come among us like a little saint to make us ashamed of our selves." It was discovered after three weeks that the Bass had given up smoking. In five weeks the Tenor signed the pledge, and In six the Contralto stop ped bleaching her hair and came to choir practice with her head tied up in a veil to hide the Inevitable dis crepancies as to color. She's a dear little thing," she con. tided to the Bass. "She is poor and takes care of her mother." I'll take care of them both," the Bass declared, ardently, "if she will let me." The Tenor having made the same statement, the Contralto carried the news to the Soprano. They are both in love with you, my dear." she whispered one Sunday morning wnen tne green curtain naa been drawn and the congregation had settled down comfortably to hear the sermon. I'd rather not talk about such things ln church if you don't mind,' the Sonrano said, gently, and the Con tralto agreed hastily and gave her earnest attention to the preacher But tell me one thing," the Tenor said to the Contralto, confidentially, at choir practice, "how are we going to ask her? Her mother walks home with her after all the services, and she hasn't asked us to call, and she won't talk about secular things In church, and there you are!" Is love a secular thing?" the Con tralto questioned, sentimentally. "She says it is," the Tenor stated but I think It is divine." Things came to something of a climax when the Soprano's mother was taken sick. "Now is your chance," said the Con tralto, all in a-flutter, as she leaned toward the Tenor. But the Bass was already begging the privilege. I had hoped you might let me. the Tenor said, as he stumbled over two chairs to get to her. Why not both of you? said the Soprano, "it's on your way home, and you will be company for each other the rest of the way," 'Oh, tho aggravation of her," groaned the Tenor, as he went to get his hat, and the Bass said things to himself in a dark corner. The Soprano invited them in, and they found her mother sitting up ln a big' chair, and they had tea and muffins served by the angelic hands of the Soprano, who seemed more de sirable than ever in this setting of do mesticity. "We might as well meet it like men," the Bass told the Tenor as they went home afterwards. 'We both love her, and if we are ever going to get a chance to ask her, one of us will have to stay away next Sunday night, and the other one can take her home." "Well," the Tenor agreed, "but how shall we decide who will take her?" "I'll toss a nickel," said the Bass. "Heads I win.-' And he forthwith flipped one, and it turned up tails. "Just my luck," said the Bass, gloomily, "but if you have the good looks I have the brains, and I shall know how to plead my oase when the time comes." The Tenor was Jubilant. "I shall have first chance," Jie said. When he talked to the Contralto on Sunday morning the Bass was not san guine. "The Tenor Is young and hand some and I won't be in it." The Contralto comforted him. "If I had the choosing I should pick you out," she said, and something ln her voice made the Bass turn and look at her. She had on her new summer hat, and her hair was prettily brown where it had grown out, and there was about her an effect of youth and jauntiness that belled her forty years, and that made the Bass with his weight of forty-five, feel old. "You are always my good friend." he said, and squeezed her hand ever so slightly, as he rose to sing a duet with the Tenor. In the solo part the Tenor's voice rang out with such a note of triumph that the Soprano caught her breath as she heard it. It was if she had rang I love, love, love," and yet the words were sacred. Within the breast of the little Soprano something new stirred, something that was touched with the breath of divinity, so that it seemed no sacrilege for her to think of it ln the church. How beautifully he sings;" she said to the Contralto, and the Contralto agreed. "Yes, dear," but her eyes were on the Bass, who now took up tne strain. When the Tenor sat down, the So prano whispered ln the shelter of the curtain, "How beautifully you sang." And the Tenory said. "I sang to you. and between them flashed a glance that made the Bass groan, and he murmured to the Contralto. "The game is up. I have lost. They are talking love ln church." It's as good a place as any," said the Contralto. "There's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream.' She wiped her eyes as she said It, and the Bass found himself asking: "Do you really think that young love Is as steadfast as the love of old friends?" "Have yon Just found that cut, Billy?" the Contralto questioned. "You have helped me to find It out," said the Bass, and he squeezed her hand under her hymn book. And under the hymn book of the So prano the hands of the two young lovers met. "The beautiful part Is that yau told ,j me in church," said the Soprano, with jf her blue eyes, lighted with divine Are.

(From the Atchison Globe.) y A real young girl Is frequently about as foolish as she talks. You hear a good deal of growing old gracefully. Did anyone ever do it? How people economized in the old days! But not many people do It now. When a man gets an idea he is a poet, you can't do much with him un til he wakes up. His brain storm seems Important as being about the only evidence that Thaw "has a brain. The most desirable chaperon Is the woman who is so young she really needs one herself. A smoker never has enough matches to make him resist an opportunity to steal a few more. You can prove anything by an ex pert, since they don t agree any bet ter than ordinary mortals. The trouble with a Job secured by a "pull," Is that a man is likely to bo pushed out at any time. Almost any man can talk seriously about faith cures until he gets some thing the matter with him. When you have it in for someone and let yourself go, you have taken a long stride towards the insane asylum. No matter what church you Join, your future outlook Isn't very bright to the members of the other organisa tions. The children of a novel reading moth er usually have a good deal to contend with, besides the names she gives them. The man who feels he isn't getting enough exercise, is usually willing to take it at anything which doesn't re semble work. People are peculiar. The men who wear soft felt hats always cave them in on top, although the hats were not made to wear that way. Where did the Idea originate that soft felt hats should be caved in at the top? How men kill time! When we were a boy, living on a farm in Missouri, we remember the Rogers boys, who were always offering to bet. One day they got up a discussion as to whether a mouse could be killed by hanging It by the neck. They caught a mouse, and tried the experiment. The mouse paid no attention to being hanged by the neck, so they gradually added weight to its tall. The experiment was not an Important one, yet the Rogers boys spent nearly a day In working at It. Two Shades sat on an overturned tombstone, and the discontented ex pression on the face of one aroused the curiosity of the other. "What's the mat ter?" he inquired: "You have been here only two days, but don't you think you will like it?" "I am not sore at you Shades," was the reply: "it's my obituary that makes me cross. It says what a good business man I was, how kind and considerate I was to my em ployes, what a tender husband and father, but not one blamed word about the way I kept the dandelions out of my ward. This lack of appreciation makes me tired." And he gave such a sigh that he blew himself into the next lot.

The big surprise in Atwood for many years-was-the marriag-e of Joim; M. Burton, president of the Rawlins County State bank, to Mrs. Sarah L. Binning of Watseka, 111., for many years a former resident of Atwood and Rawlins county. Everybody who knew him supposed John Burton would always be content to live in bachelorhood. The Atwood Square Deal says of him: "The eroom has long been connected with the Rawlins County bank, as its sole owner while a private institution and as its presi dent since its organization under the state banking law3, and in that capaci ty has formed an acquaintanceship embracing the bulk of our business and farming population. He is uni versally respected as an honest, hon orable man, safe and reliable, exacting that which is his due, but readily giv ing that which is another's. Not osten tatious in his benefactions, we daily almost hear of acts of deserved help fulness which reflect credit on both his head and heart." Jewell county statistics always read good. The farmers' wives, especially, are doing good work. They sold, in 1906, about $52,000 worth of cream, and a little less than 621.000 pounds of butter, besides $285. 583 worth of eggs and poultry. The husbands, too. have been busy. They have planted 188.444 acres In corn, and have 48,916 acres in alfalfa. They also have, if they gave the correct number to the asses sors. 69,749 head of hogs and 19,580 horses. Goodland is going to celebrate her twentieth anniversary September 5, 6 and 7. There will be four days of spe cial interest, the first, Sherman county day, followed by Colorado day, north west liansas day and the last, carnival day. Every day will be a picnic of especial Interest, and many notable features will be represented. The celebration is well under way, the sev eral committees being at work on en tertaining programmes for every day. For any particulars of the celebration information will be furnished by W. A. Smith, secretary of the Commerical club. One of the leading business men in Norton Is of the opinion that 90 per CLEVER DOCTOR Cured a 20 Years Trouble Without Any Medicine.

"Finally a doctor who Is the most prominent physician in this part' of the State told me medicine would do me no good only irritate my stomach I and make it worjo that I must look to diei. and quit drinking coffee. "I cried out In alarm. 'Quit drink ing Coffee!' why, 'What will I drink?' 'Try Postum,' said the doctor, 'I drink It and you will like it when It is made according to directions, and served with cream, for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects cof fee has "Well that was over two years ago and I am still drinking Postum. My stomach is right again and I know Doctor hit the nail on the head when he decided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in its place." Never too late to mend. Ten days' trial of Po3tum In place of coffee works wonders. "There's a Reason." Read the famous little book, "The Road to Wellvllle." In pkgs.

Home grown strawberries way out in Gove county are so plentiful that tney are not considered much of a lux ury. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Evans have raised a large crop of them this year. If the Gove City Republican-Gazette is correct in its statement, then Gove county is on the eve of a county seat fight. As crops are a little shy In that county this year, the people will have more time to talk up the matter, and all her business men have put goods boxes in front of their stores so coun ty seat agitators can sit down and whittle on the boxes and discuss coun ty seat removal matters. Somehow way out in Atwood and Rawlins county things are different than they are in other Sixth district towns. This from the Atwood Patriot: "John Ratcliff was showing a twig from a cherry tree on which were two blossoms that contained two en tirely separate and distinct cherries to each blossom. These blossoms came out after the late frosts and he says there are several more like the above on the same tree which give everv rromtse of maturing into full sized and perfect cherries. Cherries in clusters are very common, but two cherries in one blossom is something we have never seen before. Mr. Rat cliff and several other men who have noticed the bearing of fruit trees for many years say they have never beforo witnessed two entirely separate and distinct cherries to one blossom." The business men of Downs have subscribed $1,000 for the support of a home baseball team. A pearl, said to be worth $75 bv an expert jeweler at Colby, was found on opening a can of oysters at the Opelt hotel. This hotel is one of the most noted In northwestern Kansas. More congressmen have been made and de feated in this hotel than in any other In the Sixth district. And yet they j buy oysters by the case. and find i pearls thrown in for good measure. If such things as this are going to hap pen most any old time, the several candidates who want to succeed Con gressman Reeder ought to work for Colby for the convention The total deposits in the nine banks in Norton county will reach about $1, 1501000. Of this, the three banks In Nor ton will reach close to $800,000. Russell county has graduated five lawyers at the state university. A man named Crank will open a law office in Hill City.

As far back as 1888. Sherman county had six newspapers. Today, with more prosperity end larger towns, the county has only two, ana these are published in Goodland It is said that Fred Castle, one of the most popular traveling men on the road, and a member of Norton council tT. C. T., owns and lives in the cost liest and most modern residence In hi: town. Besides, he is the owner of one of the best autos, and when he is in hurry he travels in his automobile. He is also manager of the Norton baseball team, of TJ. C. T. men exclusively, who play a match game of baspball in Elm wood park, in Norton, June 29. with a like team from the Holdrege. Neb., council. The game will be hotly con tested. Building has been so brisk in Norton for the last three years that a fourth lumber yard is being talked of by the Norton county farmers. The Kensington people are talking already for their 20th anniversary cele bration this fall. They have so much prosperity in that Smith county town for several years they doa't mind if the crops are a little short. One of the prettiest of publications -was. issued recently from the office of the. Oakley Graphic. It is a booklet of several pages edited by the junior class of the Oakley school. The first article signed by the Juniors, Is entitled, "Foreword." and says: "For a booklet published in a land where the buffalo grass carpets the prairies and the even line of the horizon is seldom marred; where the mirage is a common sight and the song of the woodbird is never heard; we deem the 'Plainsman's' a fit ting title. If this modest booklet arouses within anyone the desire for an educa tion or brings the patrons and the school into closer touch with each other, we rest content, feeling well paid." The Graham county assessors for 1907 show that Hill City, the county seat, has a population of 711, and the counts' 7,450. Also that the county has 7,397 acres of alfalfa, 388.488 bushels of old corn xm hand and over $400,000 deposits in the banks of that county. The re turns of the assessors show up better than for many years. Oarnegries Start for The Hague. -Kiel. Germany, June 24.

Hodgins Umpires Ball Game With a Blunderbuss. Old Mother Luck held an umbrella over the fruit Jobbers and their friends Saturday. It rained elsewhere, but it did not rain at McFarland, where the joyful jobbers congregated to hold their second annual picnic. Therefore one of the managers may be pardoned for his bold assertion that, had the picnic been held elsewhere, it would have rained at McFarland. The jobbers' special, consist! nar of three coaclus and a hBesn car aft Topeka in the isin, also in the morning. Said special ran through miles of rain which, .seemed intent on, follow! n it- the track, and then emerced .liunminghlnn and McFarland, the chosen SDot. Over 300 guests left Topeka on the special, and others dropped off of ev ery westbound train during the day. The event was held on the 2,000 acre Rock island ranch, south of the sta tion, and a natural picnic ground. It took five trips with a large dray to haul the provender and accoutrements from the car to the park. Camp chairs ror everyDoay, Iruit, flowers, table ware. everything was on hand. Noth ing had been overlooked. The stew ard arrived on the ground the day be fore, and with a corps of assistants had made ready for the picnickers. As the supplies were unloaded, every nonattached man volunteered to help spread the sarao. Too many volunteers caused a congestion of labor such as is experienced on the Rock Island section gangs when 57 Mexicans get busy shov ellng dirt into one wheelbarrow. There fore Mr. S. E. Lux, grand highmtick of the day, procured a club and thinned out the volunteers so that the ladies and competent workers could proceed with the distribution. Plenty to Eat. The principal feature of that al fresco lunch was the remarkable com binatlon of quantity and quality which prevailed. With 300 people In sight, the stewards spread upon the long tables .anas sufficiently fine to tickle the pal- i'te of the epicure, and sufficiently numerous to destroy all the hunger microbes in a thousand hired men The bill of fare was not mapped out but it want something like this: Salad the real thing), deviled eggs, coffee, six kinds of meat, bread and butter, H monads, more coffee, potato chips nine kinds of cake, a wagon load of Ice cream. By repeating this rapidly half a dozen times and Inserting anything you think of that is good to eat, you will get some Idea of that bill of fare. This high living seems to be a habit with the Topeka fruit Jobbers. Last year another reporter chaperoned the party, which met at Pauline, and he brought in the same kind of report of "oceans or reed. it was certainly true in this case, and after the lunch, when the jobbers and their guests were as sembled at the baseball diamond, watching a hot game between the Job bers and the Rock Island clerical force, youthful natives of the Jungles there Anchored Dentures We have a method of replacing lost teeth by an Anchored Denture, an ap pliance which is similar to a partial gold plate, but which is so constructed that it can be attached to the natural teeth and readily removed for cleans ing by frhe patient.

Let us rather feppe that they enjoyed it. and did not waste all the tomatoes throwing them at each other." The jobber who thus philosophized had giv en up about $100 worth- of fruit and vegetation for the spread, and purchas ed tjver $65 worth of railroad tickets for his employes and their friends. The picnic, as before stated, was held on the Rock Island ranch. This ranch boasts one of the finest natural springs in that county and the same is near the picnic grounds. A few sheep and goats now occupy the grounds. These animals buttr in after the natives had helped "clear away," and dosed the incident by eating the wooden pie -dishes and pa per napkins, thus having the grounds In excellent condition for the- next pic nic. Mr. Chick Morton, of the Rock ISrr! and, who wis one of the guests of the day, stated positively that the Rock Island company kept sheep and goats In that 2.0C0 acre pasture for this pur pose alone, as they insured a clean pic nic ground at any time. The Goats Clean V'y tbe Park. Several railroad 'officials and their families enjoyed the hospitality of tho fruit jobbers. Other dead-heads were a local reporter and G A. Gurley, of Kan sas City, owner of.' the "Kansas City Packer," and three other publications on the same subject, which are publish ed at Cincinnati, Chicago and New York. Mr. Gurley is one of. the best known trade-paper editors in' the west, and a favorite with the fruit Jobbers. As the lunch was: drawing to a close, and just as Mr. Lux, floor manager of the jamboree was lamenting the fact that some of the Kansas City guests had failed to arrive, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bowlus of Kansas City, came from the depot Mr. Bowlus handles about the largest banana jobbing business In the west. Other fruit' Jobbers from Kansas City were Peter Michaels and W. L. Grush.

This game, -however, was.,not the real feature of -the day. The real thing with trimmings was the .game, between the boss Jobbers and their lady employes. This was also one of the strong features of last year's picnic, and Dick Hodgins, who umpired the game, came home In a pair of gumboots and a blanket, having been 'Hrimmed" by the' jobbers for fav oring the' ladles in his decisions. As the excursion train pulleAout of Topeka, it was noticeable that Hodgins, who was slated as umpire for the sensational game, had a mysterious package' wrap ped in a gunny sack. As he walked onto the diamond as-the ladies'; game Dick Houdgins. Armed With a Blun derbuss, Acts as Umyire. was called,- he calmly unrolled this package and exposed' an ancient bell mouthed blunderbuss" with a bayonet attached. It was the prehistoric tool with -which his Fenian forbears were wont to go gunning for gaugers in Ould Ireland. Setting the bayonet at a dangerous angle, Dick delivered the fol lowing address: "Ladie3 and fruit jobbers: Last year I umpired this game and got the -worst of it. This' year I shall umpire this gamv, and incidentally run this Instrument through any fool fruit juggler who monkeys with me. Play ball!". Several times during the fracas which followed, the Jobbers attempted to flank the umpire, but he drove them back with fixed bayonet. His decisions were; like woman fearfully and wonderfully made. With the men at bat a home run was branded as -a foul and the run ner declared out.When Mr. Armstrong, president of the Fruit Jobbers' associa tion and pitcher for the nine, tried to field little grounders Hodgins never failed to step on his neck In moving around to a point where he could ob serve the play.

Owing to the strict censorship which has been establish ed in Lisbon it is difficult to obtain the details of the uprising of the Portu guese, people, but enough has leaked through to make it known that King Carlos is in danger of losing his throne. Rioting continues In Lisbon and the city is full of troops. Cavalry men patrol all the streets and the king stays close to his palace. He has made no statement of what he intend ed to do. The feeling against him is bitter because of his abolishing the constitutional guarantee. His answer to the agitation against the abridge ment of the liberties of the people nas been a decree authorizing the civil governor of Lisbon to suspend news papers which incite aisoraer. The country had a parliament many years, but the king is credited with, a desire to rule without a national legis lature. Last Friday a large crowd started for the palace of the king to make a demonstration against him. They were met by cavalry and ordered to disperse. Several revolver shots came from, the crowd and a trooper was wounded.? ,The soldiers charged and the mob answered with more re volver shots. Two rioters were killed and about 100 were injured by the trampling horses. While the" fJgbtlHg was --going on in the streets the" 'members of the mob raided the principal, cafes of the city, where they armd themselves with bludgeons improvised from the iron and marble drinking tablets.- Bottles and other- objects :were seized and with these the rioters again attacked the police and troops in the streets. They were driven off by a cavalry charge. Time changes, all things change but the J. R. S. cigars never- change. They are always the same.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAL MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1907. STATE OFFICER WAPARALYZED J. L. Langdon, Traveling State Deputy of the M. B. A. Was Stricken With Para lysis Last Thanksgiving. DOCTORS GAVE NO RELIEF Hot Springs Treatment Is Making Him Well. Improving Rapidly, Nerves Are Stronger. J. L. Langdon of 133 Tyler street, Topeka. traveling State deputy of the M. B. A., Is a happy man again. For many months Mr. Langdon has been a helpless cripple from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. But now he is re gaining his health, and with renewed health he is regaining his well known good spirits and old time smile. Saturday Mr. Langdon made the following voluntary statement for pub li cation: "Topeka, Kan., June 20. 1907. "I, J. L. Langdon, traveling State Dep uty of the M. B. A., working for the or der at Polo, Mo., about Thanksgiving time, was attacked with a paralytic stroke, affecting my whole left side, and on the advice of my attending physician. Dr. Mount, and some friends, advised me as soon as possible to come to Topeka to my familv and to secure the best medi cal services at once. I followed their ad vice, and as soon as I landed in Topeka at once secured the services of the very best physicians and as a consequence of being under their care, I had another at tack of paralysis and learning that Dr. B. V. Kinsley of the Hot Springs Doctors was to open an office here at 5J3 Kansas avenue, I at once went to him, presenting my case tn all its entirety. In the very short time that I have been under his medical care I can say this for Dr. Kin sey, that m:r nerves are stronger and bet ter. I am stronger, have a better appe tite and above ail things this last week I have realized two nights of blessed sleep. My mind is clearer and better than it was. I have great faith in Dr. Kinsey 'and believe that if I will apply his treat 'ments that he will cure me. and I sincere jly trust that all arsons who are are af 'flicted like I am will apply to him at once for he certainly can help them. "J. L. LANGDON. "133 Tyler street. Topeka." After making the above statement Mr. .Langdon said: "I think that statement ehould be made stronger. You can't make It too strong, for Hot Springs treatment Is doing wonders for me by sending the glorious life blood to again course through these limbs which were wither ing away so fast." In regard to this matter Dr. Kinsey of the Hot Springs Doctors said: "Yes, we cure many cases of paralysis, though we also find many which we are obliged to refuse to treat, for many have progressed bo far that we can not restore the dead ened nerves to activity. You know it is our policy to refuse to treat all cases that are incurable. Where people make the greatest mistakes is in neglecting any nerve disorder. For it is small nerve dis orders and nerve weaknesses that often lead to paralysis or even Insanity in the end." Any man who finds that his nerves are weakening should look well lest he be approaching a crisis." "In my experience as a physician I have found a great many people of vigorous 1 constitutions who have not the moral courage to work out their own destiny people intended by nature to lead, but who, because of some nervous weakness are left behind in the race. It is pretty evident that this life is a race between the strong and the weak. It is the race where the prize goes to the person with strength, courage and ambition to 'get there." And any person who does not feel the call to force his way into the crush Is going to be left behind. "Our Hot Springs treatment will put new life into a body exhausted and debil I ltated. It will prepare any person for a i battle for success by charging the nerves j with the fire of vigorous energy and youthful vigor. Our Hot Springs treat ment will turn back the hands of time for id people by renewing the vigor of youth in their veins. One old man of 74 says he feels as young he did at 40 after using i the Hot Springs treatmnet only two months." "Young people who find they are want ing in self confidence, who shrink from meeting people because of fear that they will be unable to make a good Impression, will find by a study of themselves that the trouble is only a lack of nerve force. Build up your nervous energy by our Hot Springs methods and the nerve force and self confidence will come. People in al most every state in the union .who have taken the Hot Springs treatment are ex amples of vigorous energy, strength of character and ambition to dare and ac complish things. "Imagine the persons depressed by dis ease and weakness, downcast,- hopeless, ill natured, peevish. despondent. absent minded. inattentive. unattractive how can such persons hope to get up in the world T Everything is against them. They not only have not the energy to help themselves, but they repel people who might have it in their power to throw something In their way. Give us persons broken down in spirit, gloomy, despon dent, unambitious or lacking confidence t In themselves let us place them under our treatments and in three months' time we will have them world beaters. This weak hearted disposition is nothing but weak nerves, and our Hot Springs treat- ment. taken daily at your home will over come it in a few weeks. So far as I have seen there is one indispensible foundation of life and health. A man ought to be a clean, wholesome, vigorous animal with nerves sound and healthy, tinging with the electrical nerve force of energy and -.vitality. That is the foundation of every thing else." All persons who lack the en ergy to dig their way to success may have the way pointed out to them by a consultation with the Hot Springs Doc tors, who can be consulted at their offices 623 Kansas avenue. "As you know," said Ir. Kinsey. "we accept no Incurable cases and we reserve the right to refuse any case that in our judgment is beyond Mrs. Ralph Skinner and Miss Agnes Fisk gave a luncheon today at the home of the latter for Miss Marjorie Anderson of St. Marys whose mar riage to Mr. Lawrence Carr of San Diego, California, takes place Thurs day at the home of her brother, Mr. Frank Anderson, In St. Marys.

The Rev. Dr. A. S. Embree performed the ceremony and owing to the recent death of the bride s mother only a few relatives were present.

"Put 'em over," "Good boy, Jones strike him out," "Let him hit it!" These and many more were the au dible expressions heard at the Novelty theater Sunday afternoon while the Wichita-Topeka baseball game was being reproduced through a mega phone which accentuated the deep bass of "W. K. Logan, who announced the plays as they were ticked over the wire direct from the Wichita baseball park. There were 600 people present and the only reason there were no more was because there wasn't room for them. From the moment Lawlor went to bat in the first inning until Annis flew out at the end of the ninth, the inter est was intense and when Topeka scored four runs in the fourth inning, the building fairly shook with the ap plause and shouting. The interest of those present was manifested especial ly when Holland, the Wichita captain, who had been suspended for assault ing the umpire came to bat. "Holland at the bat," shouted Logan. This an nouncement was greeted by a volley of hisses and when he struck out the applause was tremendous this would indicate that Holland Isn't very popular with the Topeka fans. It was almost as good as the base ball game Its9lf and the big crowd was in a good humor. Things were coming Topeka's way from the start, and this might have had something to do with it, but at any rate the venture was a pleasing one and the fans will wel come Its continuation during the Hutchinson-Topeka series which be gins on Thursday. Seeing a profes sional ball game from a well. cushion ed seat for ten cents naturally appeals to those interested in baseball. THE PETAL TEST. We long again for olden days. For primitive emotion.

HAYES, 228 Tyler Street. $18 .Suif, Special Tomorrow $5.00 All This Season's Patterns." To me as a newspaper reader, such announcements as the above, so frequently used by unscrupulous clothing dealers, immediately brands itself as a FAKE pure and simple. It is generally supposed that the average profit made by legitimate clothing dealers on ready-to-wear clothing is not more than 25 per cent., and on highly k advertised makes perhaps not more than 20 per cent. Allowing the customary 10 per cent of all gross profits for actual running expenses, about 10 per cent remains as the dealers' profit, hence a dealer advertising this season's garments up to $18, "special tomorrow for $5," could not but expect the most dense of men to brand it as a deplorable fake. As to original cost of suit offered in such "Sales," there is a wide variation of price, but granting however, the same percentage of profit made by legiti mate dealers,, the original cost of such suits based, on the advertised selling price could not exceed $3.75. and allowing 25 cents as the cost of the premiums' often offered as a special inducement to buy these '.'$18 Suits for $5," the cost J would be reduced to about $3.50 each. Regarding the number of extra policemen required in the block during such remarkable "Value- Sacrificing Sales," it is my opinion that instead of placing them in close proximity to the store handling the rush of imaginary buyers, it would be more profitable to the conductors of such "Sales" to arrange with the Chief of Police to scatter his patrolmen in various parts of the city, which might result in dragging in an occasional victim, allowing the salesmen an op portunity to hypnotize the unfortunate into buying from the "$18 marked d.own to $5" assortment, a suit shelf-worn, out of date, and originally ihade to sell as a $5 value. Mr. Hayes' Article Bxpresses the sentiment of practically every thinking man they all smile when they hear, the word "Bargain," or read the word "Sale," and why? Simply because of the tendency of merchants to over draw, to exaggerate, to out-bargain the other bargain croaker. The $10 awaits the writer of the above prize article. We will be pleased to have him call and accept It, and Watch Us Grow. Watch Our Business Methods Win. YOUNG MEN DID IT. Cause Trouble by Trying to Reform China, Says Rev. Paul Todd. Rev. Dr. Paul Todd, who arrived this morning from Canton, China, where he has been a medical missionary for the past five years, had the good fortune not to be on Chinese soil at the time of the latest outbreak against the white foreigners. He said this morning that Canton was 200 miles from the seat of the trouble, and having left Canton in May he knew but very little of the trouble that had arisen there lately except what he had seen in-the papers. "There has been a feeling among the younger meh In China," said Dr. Todd, "that has been largely antl-dynastie in its nature. The young men have been very sympathetic toward the young for eign element In the matter of progres sive education.- There is a good deal of dissatisfaction among these same young men in regard to the way the government has been run. and they to gether with the young foreigners, have been working to change affairs as much COSTUMES FOR TENNIS. The blouse shown In the accompanying drawing is one of the most ap proved models for tennis and other summer sports. The blouse from which the sketch was taken showed the new idea of havins colored turndown collar and cuffs of rather sheer, white linen, the collar and cuffs being of pale blue,, edged with tiny plaited frills of hemstitched linen. The blouse was plaited at the shoulders, back and front, and was worn with a. skirt of pale blue linen. This same blouse design is also very attractive in all-white, worn with a short white linen skirt. as possible and put the provinces oil a more modern governmental basis. This is probably the cause of trouble that has arisen and the young men are at the bottom of It. "The recent reforms In educational matters, have not succeeded as well as could be wished on account of the painful lack of competent native help. The system of education has been bad for a thousand years or more, and the government has been run with the fame lack of gocd Judgment in regard to fitness of officials as In years past. To be able to write a good poem is considered education enough lor a young man of aristocratic blood to take a position of importance in matters of state. History and geography and tne like are unknown and not considered in the matter of fitness for government service. This and other similar condi tions- have caused the younger and more progressive element to feel re bellious against the old manner of doing things. There Is a good deal or sym pathy on the part of foreigners for these young men, and encouragement has been given item to continue in this same line.

The awakening of the younger element is only a beginning of the change that is to take place in China in the next few years. The fact that so many of tie young nobles of that country have been sent abroad to learn the modern customs and ideas, both civil and mili tary, of other nations, is going to have its effect sooner or later, and the Chi nese empiro will be changed. This will mean a revolution in the whole civili zation of the orient." POLICE COURT NOTES. The big chief and half a dozen po licemen raided a negro crap game at 211 Kansas avenue Saturday night. and captured the whole works. James Huddelston was taken on the charge of keeping a gambling house, and ten other negroes were charged with being "found in." They all managed to give bond before Sunday morning. F. M. "Bee" Adams, colored, was ar rested Saturday night on two charges. Officers Jenkins and Dusenberry- raid ed his place wth a selling warrant, and as they were bringing him away, Dusenberry says he saw Adams pass revolver, which he carried in his pocket, to another negro. Therefore the additinal charge of carrying a dan gerous weapon was added to his list of crimes. Adams is the negro who fired several shots at Policeman Duncan about a year ago, and escaped with a small fine. F. A. Dana, an automobile machin ist, was arrested Saturday by Chief Eaton for exceeding the speed limit In an auto. This is the second arrest on this charge credited to Chief Eaton, and both were machinists not owners of autos. Chief Eaton seems to have good luck in catching laboring men for this offense, but the Only arrest of cn owner was due to a complaint of a member of the Automobile club, and r not to any effort on the part of the T police.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATS JOURNALMONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1907. PASSES SIXTY THOUSAND Washburn Fund Moves lp Over Twenty-two Hundred. Tha Washbui n canvass Is progress vlng very favorably. At the noon meet- ing of the committee at the Copeland hotel this noon (2,189 were reported. which represents the work of the com uiittee since noon Saturday. This brings the total amount up to $61,848, which leaves only a little more than $13,000 yet to be raised. The committee this noon was com posed of several new members select ed from among the prominent business men of the city who will work during this -week which Is the closing week of the canvass. The last meeting of the committee will be held next Saturday noon and at that time it is hoped that the entire sum of $75,000 will be -entirely raised. This will leave five days which to se cure the remaining $13,000 of the re quired sum. It has been suggested that the committee try to raise the amount by Saturday to over the lequired amount as previous experience has (hown that with subscriptions for which two years are allowed for payment there Is generally shortage of about 10 per cent. It is desired by the commit tee to provide fgainst any shrinkage cf the fund.

"Bun" Adams of El Dorado, bank er and statesman, is in Topeka today on business. Mr. Adams was formerly a fighting mernbtr of the Kansas house of representatives, and every now and then has a boom for some political job or oher. "I suppose our county Is for Davidson for- govern or," he said.-"because he-- is in our congressional district. That is, we are for Davidson if he will get out of this square deal business as much cs possible. Our cour.ty won't stand for the square deal proposition, in its unadulterated form. "I don't believe in tha primary elec tion idea, and neither does our county. Tr- primary is not a true American institution. It Is, in the first place, going to b-5 too costly for the candi dates. No one but a rich man like Stubbs can afford to run for an office. "The irue American system of gov ernment is by representatives. We have a representative government, not a pure democracy. We elect repre sentatives to the legislature to make laws for us, and if we can trust our "representatives to do this, why can't wo trust our representatives to go to a convention and nominate our can didates. The people are given an op portunity at the election to ratify or reject the. work of the convention. The direct primarv does not alfow the peo ple to get what they really want. There might be 5,001 votes in a coun ty, arid rive candidates for sheriff. Four candidates might get 1,000 votes each, and the fifth get 1,001 and be nominated. Yet there were 4,000 votes against him, and only 1,001 for him." Dr. Mcdintoek Able to Sit Up. The condition of Dr. J. C. McCIin tock, who has been seriously ill at his home for some .time with malarial poisoning, is much improved and he was able to sit up for a while today for the first time in over a week. The physicians in charge of the case re port that h:s condition is all that could be expected and state that they anticipate an early recovery unless unlooked for -complications should ensue. When Cupid gives .his Taera Is a paradox Ton cannot keep a Unless yon hasten STRAWBERRIES ARE FASSIXG. Blackberries Take Their Place on tne 'Local Market. The market reports seem to Indicate that the time for cheap strawberries has passed, and that there will be no more cheap ones even though they will be on the market for a week or ten days longer. The strawberry crop was not much hurt by the late frosts, although they have not been so plentiful as on some -other years. That they are so soon to pass, means that those who contemplate putting up any more strawberries will have to do it soon unless they wish to get the poor er ones of the last of the season. Blackberries will be cheaper next week than this, and for that reason will be better for canning purposes. The best ones coming at the time when the berries are most numerous. The red raspberry and the black caps are not very plentiful this year, and it Is not probable that they will be any cheaper at any time during the season than they are -now. GREEN TO USE THE VETO Jlayor Will Cut Out Three Blocks North Toncka Paving. Though bids have been received and contracts awarded on the paving or uentral. avenue Mayor Win. Green will exercise tne privilege of veto and proposes to cut down three blocks of the paving of that street. All of the paving north of Grant street to the bridgo ovtr Soldier creek Is to be cut out by the mayor's veto. Separate contracts will be drawn up. One for the paving south of Grant strset and anotner for that north. The mayor proposes to veto the contract for the pavement stretch ing north of Grant street. The ex planation given is that It will bo too costly for the city because the prop erty abutting will" be assessed to the limit of its value and unabie to bear the burden of the taxation the city will bs forced to assume the cost. "The mayor has had this under con sideration for some time," said John Rodgers, city engineer. Orders were given to draw up new plans. "Illegal or legal I gue3s It will be done," said the city engineer. Councilman, C. E. Jordan, from the First ward who boomed the paving, had njt heard of the proposed veto. "Who told you'" he asked. "Well, the people are not going to stand for it. They petitioned for the pavement and will have it. I don't propose to stand any of this monkeydoodle busi ness and if there is, I guess we can do something. That West Tenth avenue paving is going to be the most costly to th city and I guess that we might do something about that." The cost under the contract for the! paving to be cut out is under the con- I tract for all items $8,551.39. OUR WARRIORS QUIT. Major E. W. Wellington and Others of K .N. G. Hand in Resignations. Announcement was made today by Adjutant General J. W. F. Hughes of the resignation of Major E. W. Well ington, Second infantry, K. N. G., and of First Lieutenant -atl Battalion-Adjutant Waldo F. Wellington, son of Major Wellington, both of Ellsworth, Kan., from t,heir respective ranks with the Kansas National Guard. Major Wellington leaves the state militia on account of ill health. Severe attacks of rheumatism have unfitted him for military duty. Lieutenant Wellington resigns because of pressure of outside business which leaves him insufficient time for his duties. Brevet First Lieutenant J. R. Cree of Company D, First infantry, Paola has also resigned, because of lack of time from his business to attend to the duties of the guard. The officers of the Second Infantry will elect successors to Major Welling ton and Lieutenant Wellington at the time of the state rifle competition at Ft. Riley on July 8. The state rifle competition -will be gin July 8 and continue a week. There will be about 125 marksmen in at tendance, all of whom have won high rank in the company competitions of the Kansas National Guard. Besides that there will be 75 markers, scorers. cooks, and camp attendants, making about 200 people who will go into camp during the rifle competition. The eighteen men getting the highest score in this competition will attend the na tional competition to be held this year in Illinois. Ten-Year-Old Elmer Butler Shot. Elmer Butler, a 10-year-old boy from Formosa, Kan., is as Christ's hospital suffering rrom a gunshot wound in the abdomen, accidentally inflicted a few days ago by his brother.

Wilson is F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, said today In dis cussing the report from Washington that Secretary James Wilson of the United States department of agricul ture is trying to pick some haws in Coburn s work: "I take it that some of the Washing ton newspaper boys are trying to have fun with Mr. Wilson and myself. They are filling up a little dull day space. The reporters who are writing these reports are friends of mine, and I have no doubt are also friends of Mr. Wilson, and they simply like to put Mr. Wilson and myself in battie array, for the amusement of the public. "It seems that somebody has been making it appear that 1 want Mr. wil son's job. I have told some of Mr. Wilson's friends to assure him that such is not the case. I do not want Mr. Wilson's place, and I hope that he will hold it as long as he possesses the physical strength to do the work. j have always considered Mr. Wilson our great secretary, aaa rresiucni ivxu-xvu-ley did no more sagacious act than when he appointed Mr. Wilson to his cabinet. "Of course there are some things upon which Mr. Wilson and I have disagreed. Mr. Wilson made some statements about Kansas, which I be lieved to incorrect, and it seemed to me proper that a denial of these state ments should come from this desk which I occupy. There was noth lng personal about it; I was simply doing my duty by the state. No one can excel me in honoring our great secretary of the United States depart ment of agriculture, but he and I each have the right to our own point of view. He, from his exalted station, takes a broader view of the whole country, while I am closer in touch with Kansas affairs." HOWKNISLER GOT AWAY. Was Driven to Perry by. "Peg Leg," Hackman. While Sheriff Wilkerson was working today on the latest murder that has occurred within a week near the three bridges, he got onto the fact that Rob ert Knisler, who is badly wanted by both the police and the county auth orities, had made his getaway from town. Knisler's joint at No. 114 Norris street, was raided by the police on Thursday night. They had a warrant for Knisler's arrest. The warrant was read to him by Policeman Walker and ld goods xmsler made his escape ?hl.m,eh rPar doo. t t shenric muntv attnrnev. peevred the issuance of a warrant for R-nlsler's arrest on Saturday on a felony charge tint he had resisted ar rest by an officer. Knisler could not be found cn Saturday night or Sun day. J. A. Quaney, who has a livery barn in North Topeka, told the sheriff this morning that the hackman known as "Peg Leg" and John Wagner, another hackman, had hired a single rig from his barn at 4 o'clock this morning. "Peg Lea" said he wanted it to take a fare out on West Tenth street. Quaney heard by phone this morning frorrKa liveryman name Strange in Perry, 17 miles east of here, that his rig with Pear Leg was fhere: Inasmuch as John Wagner has admitted driving over to North Topeka with Van Horn and Morkinson on the morning the lat ter was murdered, the sheriff rightly thought that this hiring of a rig by them was a suspicious circumstance to say the least. Sheriff Wilkerson got Strange on the telephone and the Perry liveryman said that "Peg Leg" drove into town there with another man who boarded the Union Pacific plug for Kansas City. "Peg Leg" told Strange that this man was Bob Knisler. Sheriff Wilkerson told Starnge, who is a constable, to plaes "Peg Leg" under arrest and drive him to town and he is expected some time this afternoon. The sheriff is convinced that Knisler made his escape in this fashion and he wired some de tectives in Kansas City to pick him up if possible. Quaney says he intends to prosecute "Peg Leg"- for getting the horse under false preterses, as he would not have hired the animal out had he known that it was to be driven a long ais tance. TO OPEN IN MISSOURI. Taft Plans to Speak on Politics In Joplin August 11. Washington, June 24. On his way to address the Oklahoma Republican state convention, at Tulsa, in August, Secre tary Taft probably will speak also at Joplin, Mo. If he concludes, as now seems probable, to make the Joplin speech, it will be a political address de voted to live topics. Much pressure has been brought to bear on the secretary to induce him to make a political' speech In Missouri and he has tentatively consented to do so. The probable date of the Joplin speech is August 11. ALL LOST BUT TWO. Steamer Santiago Wrecked in a Heavy Squall on the Pacific Santiago, Chile, June 24. The Pacific Steam Navigation company's coasting steamer, Santiago, a vessel trading be tween Panama and the south coast of South America, has been wrecked in a heavy so.ut.ll, 50 miles north of Corral. One passenger and one officer are known to have been saved. The re mainder of the passengers and crew e.re reported to have perished. RITCHIE GETS HIM FIRST. Paving Contractor Will Have Work Checked Up On Own Account. Paving contractor. John Ritchie, who had most of the paving contracts of last year and the year previous, in connection with which F. G. Drenning, city attorney, states that the city has paid for more paving than it received, scored a scoop an the city this morn ing. Ritchie engaged the services of George H. Griggs, formerly paving in spector, to check up the amount of paving done by him and started on the work this morning. The city had expected to retain Griggs but Ritchie got to him first. W. A. Harshbarger, professor of math ematics at Washburn, will do the checking up for the city and will com- mence tomorrow.

THE SANTA FE'S REPLY. Submits a Report of the Work Done in Promoting Industries. Chicago, June 24. Officials of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe road have presented to the United States district attorney, Mr. Sims, a report of all the work dene by that company in the industrial line the last three years. The statement was given for the pur pose of showing the government of ficers, what the railroad had done and is doing to foster the location of in dustries along Its lines and in build ing up unproductive-' territory. The report, it is hoped,- will have some effect on the -threatened indict ments against the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe for giving'the United States Sugar and Land company a bonus, of $85;000 to locate million-dollar sugar beet plant in-Garden City, Kan. The report which the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe gave to the district attorney states that in the year ended December 31, 1906, the company lo cated 166 new industries in the west. Nearly 50 per cent of the capitaliza tion Involved went into Kansas. The total capital invested by these new in dustries is 15 million dollars and they employ 55,000 men and women. TREASURER TO KEEP THEM. Judge Pollock Decides About the Illi- nois Life Securities. The $579,123.00 In securities of the Illi nois Life Insurance company, which were placed on deposit with the state treasurer as a form of protection for its Kansas policy holders will remain within the state and in the hands of the state treasurer, decides Judge John C. Pollock. The securities in the form of bonds and mortgages were placed with the state treasurer by the Illinois Life at the time that that company purchased the assets of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company and with it the pol icies held by the Kansas company of the insured living within the state. The value of these securities at that time was $552,824, but with elapse of years there has been a natural Incre ment to these holdings. No effort was made by the Illinois to remove the securities until the assessors reported them on the tax roll for taxa tion purposes. Suit was then instituted against T. T. Kelly, then state treasurer and C. H. Lullng, superintendent of in surance, to compel them to turn over the securities to the Insurance com pany. The securities being wifliin Shawnee county were naturally assessed by the assessors of this county. Finally the county commissioners agreed to a com promise by not assessing the securities to exceed a value of $60,000 if they were not removed from the confines of the state. The case was argued before Judge Pollock this last May. STARES AND LISTENS. Society Attends a Murder Trial In Force at Brussels. Brussels. June 24. The trial of Carl P.

The court was crowded with soci3ty people and diplomats. Balmiceda was ergaged to be mar ried to the daughter of Senor Wad dington. A few days before the trag edy he called upon Mrs. Waddington and announced his decision to with draw from the rr arrlage. Ho admitted, it is charged, that he had behaved Im properly towards Miss Waddington; but accused the young woman of having mishaved before he met her. Later young Cirlos Vaddlngton drove to the home oft Balmaceda, who was his per sonal friend and after a quarred shot and killed him. The contention of the Balmaceda family is that the Waddlngtons had tried to force the -marriage upon the young secretary of legation and that upon his refusal to marry they re solved to get rid" of him. The Waddlngtons. submit as justin- cation for Carlos' act that Balmaceda had refused to redress the wrongs he had done Miss Waddington. iWW WSTiw r-nse GIRL'S DRESS. is produced by the "Mikado" sleeves.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1907. 8 sr. Z Z DR. IX A. COOKINHAM, Specialist. POLITICAUJOSSIP Senator I. D. Young of Mitchell Makes Announcement. He Will Be a Candidate for Congress. SQUARE DEAL ISSUES. Platform Like That of Repre sentative Ham. C. A. Stannard Out for Stubbs for GoTernor. Senator I. D. Toung of Belolt, Mitchell county, was In Topeka Sunday, and au thorized the announcement that he will be a candidate for the Republican nom ination for member of congress In the sixth district against Congressman W. A. Reeder, and W. B. Ham of Rooks county, both of whom are after the nomination. The probability Is that Senator "Young's announcement will be followed by the announcement of the candidacy of A. G. Mead of Mitchell county, who, It Is said, has merely been holding out of the race to see what Young would do. Young and Mead will have to fight it cut for the control of Mitchell county. "Yes, I am a candidate for congress in the Sixth," said Senator Young, Sun day. "I am going to make a thorough canvass of the district, and make a hard fight for the place." "Won't your candidacy conflict with that of W. B. Ham of Rooks county was asked. "Well, It isn't necessary to discuss that. I believe I can get a good many votes which would otherwise go to Reeder, and which Ham can't get. I. be lieve it is my turn to go to congress, r.nd a good many of my friends think so too." "Will Mead be a candidate?" "I don't know. That talk may have b?en a bluff. I am not afraid of a fisht with Mead, but of course I prefer not to have one. It would be more agreeable if I could have Mitchell county without a fisht." Senator Young will make his race for the congressional nomination on the tame sort cf a platform as that adopt ed by W. B. Ham. They are both leaders of the square deal crowd. Ham was ore of the big square deal leaders In the house, while Young was a reli able opponent of the "lodge" in the penate. Young lined up against the lodge on every proposition. Concerning the proposal to settle the Sixth district fight fcy a primary, Sen ator Young said: "I am in favor of a primary. I hope Mr. Reeder will allow the committee to have the contest settled by that means. I understand that Capt. Mitchell is op posed to the primary plan, but several members cf the committee have told me they were in favor of it. I think it would be a good plan to" have a state, county, and congressional pri mary next year, and also indicate at the same time our preference for Uni ted Stat'S senator." Senator Young has served at two sessions of the state senate, and would r.ot under cny considerations be a can didate for another term. The Mitchell Jewell senatorial district has an agree merit for alternating the office, and it is Jewell's turn next. There is some talk in Jewell county ot sending Hays B. White back to the senate. Mr. White served a term in the senate sev eral ytars- pgo. There is also some talk of R. B. Turner of Mankato. who was at one time the Populist candidate for congress In the Sixth district. C. A. Stannard. representative from Lyon county, has declared himself in favor cf Stubbs for governor of Kan sas. He says in a signed statement: "The machine has an organization in every county in Kansas. They have unlimited funds with which to make a campaign. They will have all the free transportation they want until January 1 next. They have two United States senators and all but one of the con grressmen (Victor Murdock), and most of the state officers to assist them. They have control of the state central committee and the national commit teemen in Kansas, but with all this powerful machinery, if the people of Kansas will attend the primaries and see that delegates to the national, state and congressional conventions are elected who are in sympathy with Roosevelt's policies and the policies advocated by the Square Dealers, they can crush this powerful machine and elect a legislature that two years from now will pass a direct primary law which will put out of business in Kan sas all machines. The machine politi cians are today scheming to fool the people. They are talking about Horn aday and Fitzgerald as candidates for governor on a Square Deal platform. They don't look good to me. They can get in the band wagon and ride, but we don't want them to drive. I want to say to you that in good time the Square Dealers will have a candi date for governor and you will be in formed who it is. and it will not be Fitzgerald or Hornaday. "Who. I cannot say. I am in favor of W. R. Stubbs for governor because I believe him to be thi strongest man in the state for the position. His large business experience and executive ability fit him for the position and I believe he would make one of the best governors Kansas ever had. It is tr-.i Mr. Stubbs does not want the position and says he will not take it. but he was responsible for 'drafting' Hoch. and I am in favor of returning f j The Reason Why You Should Come to Me and Take Treatment I I ALWAYS DO MORE THAN I PROMISE"! DR. D. A. COOKINHAM successfully treats and cures all forms of Chronic, Nervous and Private dis eases of MEN AND WOMEN, and, from his long: experience in the treat ment of such diseases, is better capacitated to treat and cure you than others who have not made the treatment of such troubles as yours a special study. Specific Blood Poison, Cancer. Varicocele. Weakness, Bladder and Kidney Trouble?, Rheumatism. Contracted Diseases and Diseases of Women. VARICOCELE permanently cured without any cutting pr trying opera tion. No :ain or loss of time from business. BLOOD POISON of a specific character cured without the use of mer curv or potash or mineral poisons. BLADDER AND KIDNEY TROUBLES under my system of treatment show sins of improvement at once. RHEUMATISM in all its forms is permanently cured by my system of treatment. And all nervous affections are soon relieved and cured, avA the patient restored to perfect health. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING FOR CONSULTATION AND EXAMINA TION. HOURS Z lundVyI lld tVlV the compliment and 'drafting him, and I believe it is his duty to accept the office. Now the machine men have another scheme. They say they are for Taft, which is not true. They do not want either Roosevelt or Taft for president, but they want the peo ple to let them name. the delegation to the national convention, and they will sea that such men are elected dele gates as they can handle and control, and vote for whom they please when they get to the convention. The peo ple should not permit them to select their delegates. See to it that men are selected for delegates to the national convention that Mulvane, Long. Al- baugh et al. cannot control. "The people of Kansas should take more interest in politics and especially in the election of state senators and re presentatives, and see that men are el ected that the railroad machine cannot control. Senator Long is already out visiting every county in Kansas, visit ing the people and Axing his fences so that he can go back to the senate. If the election of a United States senator was left to the people of Kansas, Long would be overwhelmingly defeated, But today he is going over Kansas no doubt with a view of having his friends at the proper time talk up candidates for the state, senate and house of re presentatives and get such men nomin ated as will vote for Long for senator. Are you going to let him do it? "What's the matter with Long? 'He has not made good." When a question came up in which the railroads and great corporations were vitally inter ested, he dodged and side-stepped, and did not come out and help pass such a law as the people were demanding. A representative in congress is of no value if he does not get right until he is forced to and only votes for you because he has to. Get a man who has ideas, and who is not afraid to stand up for them, and is not afraid to tell his constituents what he thinks and where he stands. Now you have tried Long and he hss not made good. Why keep a hired man who is no good and whom you can not trust? "C. A. STANNARD." MURDER TRIAL BEGINS. Defendant Is Backed by Millions of Thomas F. Ryan. Houston, Va., June 24. The trial of former Judge W. G. Loving of Nelson county for the murder of Theodore Estes. son of Sheriff M. K. Estes, of Nelson county, began in the circuit court today. Judge William R. Barks dale presiding. The trial promises to eclipse in sen sational interest the McCue and the Strother-Bywaters case in Culpeper. Judge Loving, armed with a double barrelled shotgun. Instantly killed Estes while he was unloading a car of fertilizer In Oak Ridge on April 22. The shooting was the sequel to a bug gy ride take on the evening prior to the homicide by young Estes with Elizabeth Loving, the 19 year old daughter of Judge Loving. The girl, when brought home it developed had been drinking and it is alleged that her escort had been maltreating her. Acting under the impression that his daughter had been drugged and as saulted Judge Loving immediately went in search of Estes. After the shooting he said:' "I shot to kill. Every drop of blood in my body called for vengeance. I would have gone a hundred miles to kill him." Backed by the millions of Thomas F. Ryan of whose Virginia estate he has been overseer for a numoer of years and with powerful political- in fluence every device known to the le gal fraternity will be availed of in the efforts of the counsel for the defense to acquit Judge Loving. The plea of the defense will be emotional insanity and the "unwritten law." The relatives of young Estes, whose family connections extend to the gov ernor of this state, will exert every ef fort to clear the memory of the dead man from any stain of wrong doing. Miss Loving, who has lived in se clusion since the tragedy, appeared in public yesterday for the first time. Two special coaches from Lynch burg, one reserved by the defense and the other by the prosecution brought 110 witnesses and two corps of lawyers here last night. A venire of 60 jury talesmen has been summoned. IIAVE BAND CONCERTS NOW. Jewell City Has Hired a Band Master and Aids the Organization. Jewell City, Kan., June 24. Jewell City Is enjoying band concerts in her electric park every Friday evening be cause the citizens pay regularly for the support of the same. This public spirited enterprise on their part is ad vantageous in several ways. It en ables the band to advance itself in musical knowledge, gives the public something enjoyable and shows off the town. This year the town enjoys the dis tinction of having a bandmaster of superior talents and ambitions. At Friday evening's concert the best number was his own composition, concert waltzes. entitled "Aida." which name by the way, is doubtless a pet one like the celebrated Verdi's for his potpourri. Prof. A. S. Moore has also written some violin studies for the wrist in bowincr practice which his pupils will use. A Haskell Indian Drowned. Lawrence, Kan., June 24. Romanldo Chavez, a Pueblo Indian aged 17. a member of this year's graduating class at Haskell institute, was drowned in the Wakarusa Saturday night while swimming. The body was sent to Hills boro, New Mexico, for burial. 106 WEST EIGHTfl STREET 4A-4--V4) QUEENARRIVES. Wilhelmina Will Receive Dele gates to the Peace Congress At the House in the Woods Near The Hague. THE 3IEETIKO OF 1899. It Was Held in This Same Royal Habitation. The Inaugural Address Is De livered by the President. The Hague, June 24. Queen Wil helmina arrived here privately from Castle Loo and drove in a closed car riage from the railroad station to the royal palace, passing through the Hall of Knights. She will remain here only two days and will receive the delegates to the peace conference at the "house In the woods," a royal villa situated about one and one-half miles from The Hague. The international peace con ference of 1899 met in this villa. The third committee of the interna tional peace conference met at 10 o'clock this morning in the Hall of Knights behind closed doors. General Horace Porter, Brigadier General B. Davis, Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, W. I. Buchanan and James Brown Scott were present. President Count Tortlnilli delivered a short inaugural speech, saying that his appointment was due not to an honor to him personally, but to Italy, which was the cradle of international law and which had adopted the most liberal and broadest in the legislation regarding warefare on the seas. He pointed out the importance of the problems submitted to the committee, chiefly those relating to the private property of belligerents, converting merchants ships into warships, the treatment of belligerent ships in the harbors of neutrals and the laying of mines at sea. QUITS THE GERMAN ARMY. Lieutenant Julius Von Demmer Enlists Under Uncle Sam. Leavenworth, Kan., June 24. Julius VonDemmer, formerly a lieutenant in the- German army, whose record is sen sational from start to finish and who figured in many exciting experiences, has renounced allegiance to Germany and has Joined the Third battalion of engineers at Fort Leavenworth. He has arrived from Columbus barracks, Ohio, where he enlisted a few days ago. Von Demmer arrived in this country frjm Germany last December, after he had been granted a four years' leave of absence from the German army. He liked things in this country and decid ed to Join the United States army. His father, who was formerly a major gen eral in the German army, owns large factories in Chicago and Spokane, Wash. He is a wealthy man. Young Von Demmer is a thirty-second degree Mason. He has the appearance of one of extraordinary intelligence. He speaks 14 different languages fluently. He said that he believed he would like the Uni ted States army so well that he would not care to return to Germany. THE COUNTY MUST PAY. Sheriff Bogart of Finney Given Pro tested Fees by the Court. Garden City, Kan., June 24. I. W. Bogart has been given a Judgment against the county for the disputed fees to the amount of $208.30. These were fees demanded by the sheriff for the Proctor insane case, the Stevens mule case, the Pennington in sane case and for guarding the fair grounds. Bogart sued for $353 but the Judge held that while the statues did not de fine any amount of fees that should be received in the case where the sheriff is required to guard property to stop gambling that he was entitled to a rea sonable compensation and allowed the sheriff ?3 a day. Bogart had offered to compromise the case at- considerable" less than the amount of the Judgment he received. The case will probably not be appealed. TO REBUILD NORTON MILLS. Alfalfa Meal Plant Will Be Tried Ajrain by the Farmers. Norton, June 24.- The prospects appear to be encouraging for rebuild ing the Norton alfalfa meal mill, re cently destroyed by fire.

This extra pay, however, is not to exceed $15 in any one month. AFTER CM. TITUS City Council Doesn't Like Uis Methods. Hires Man to Do His Work While He Gads Around. HE HAS A SINECURE. Not Enough Work to Keep Men Busy. Says He Isn't Amenable to City Fathers. Trenches have been dug and guns mounted for a conflict between city officials and Captain C. H. Titus, com missioner of elections. Extravagance in the conduct of his office is the charge laid at the feet of Titus and too much Independence in the adminis tration of his duties to the regard of the wishes of city officials and coun cilinen is an addendum. A quiet investigation has been start ed on foot as to the expenses incurred in running the commissioner of elec tions' office. A feeling prevalent among certain city officials that a use less clerical hire has been indulged in out of proportion to the actual amount of work is to be verified by an ex amination into the conditions sur rounding the administration of the :luti.-s of election commissioner. "We are not objecting to legitimate expenses for clerical hire during the election times but we don't see any necessity of having a deputy down there now when the rush is over," said one official. "There is no need of it as far as we can discover except to permit the election commissioner to run around outside. The office has to remain open so a deputy is hired to keep it so." "Well, they just better hold their horses a little," snorted out the cap tain when asked to express his views on the criticism. "They just better wait until we iron out those things ourselves. I don't propose to vary one bit from the way I have conduct ed this office. My deputy will quit on July 1st according to the plan and not at. any time before. We haven't hired anyone unless v.e needed them. "I could easily retain my deputy un der the law but I am not going to re tain him beyond the actual need. If they leave us alone we can run this office without any outside help. That is the one of the things we have tried to avoid." Accusations that Titus spends but little time in his office and that the deputy Is retained simply to permit the commissioner of elections to attend to ether tasks more congenial are given as the reason why the deputy, J. E. Hazen, should be released. The posi tion of deputy pays $45 a month. "The office is just a sinecure any way." said another city official this morning speaking of commissioner's duties. The pay roll for the past three months of the commissioner of elections office has been is follows: April, $215; May, $177.55; June, $145. The salary of the commissioner is. $1,200. In the summer months the office duties are not par ticularly arduous, the office Is busiest naturally Just previous to election time in the fall and early spring. In addition to this question of ex travagance, there is some feeling re maining from the time of the city elec tion this last April. It was charged that Captain Titus was not holding himself amenable to suggestions from the city council and city officials as he should, but boasted that he was appointed by the governor to his position and was not looking for any directions from the city council. The board of election supervisors are in a way the superiors of the commis sioner and the board is made up of members of the council so that the city officials claim that indirectly Titus is under the city council and not entirely independent of that body. This spring there was a clash over the length of time that the office should be kept open for the registration of vot ers. The claim was made that the of fice was closed in the faces of voters and that a number were turned away at 6 o'clock because the commissioner closing his office to the stroke of the minute and not waiting for delinquents. This Captain Titus branded as an un truth at the time. The dispute still rankled, however, and was brought up in connection with this last charge of extravagance. BULLEN IN THE RACE VUI Try to Wrest Congressional Seat From Calderhead. Th. xnmlliiarv of Benjamin T. Bul- lor, of Ttellaville for the Republican nomination for congressman in the Fifth district was made this morning by A. Q. Miller of Belleville, editor of the Belleville Telescope, who is in To peka on business. "I will print Mr. uuiien s aimuum;o- mnt in tup nexx issue oi llly t'f said Mr. Miller, "and there is no long er any necessity of keeping it secret. Mr. Bullen will be in the race to win from now on. There is no man in the district who can excel him as a plat form sneaker, and he will make a complete canvass of the district. "Mr. Bullen is now the county at torney of Republic county, and has held this office for eignt years, ne is also chairman of the county central committee, and was formerly county superintendent. He has lived in the county about 25 years. "While not a square dealer, Mr. Bul len is in favor of a direct primary elec tion law, and revision of the tariff. He Is a conservative Republican, and Is 4 5 years of age. Some years ago he was quite active in state politics, and headed the Republic county delegation to several state conventions. Subse quently, he has been so busy with his law practice that he has withdrawn al most entirely from state political af fairs. He will stand a first class chance of getting the nomination. -1 think that Calderhead's strength has been overestimated. "I do not believe there will be a primary in the Fifth district. Calder head's whole political training has been contrary to the primary idea, and it isn't natural to suppose that he would overcome this lifelong prejudice to satisfy a popular demand. "There are now three candidates for congress in our district: W. A. Calderhead.- S. S. Smith ef Abilene, and Mr. Bullen. I understand that the square deal people are planning- to bring out J. W. White of Ada, Ottawa county, the present member-of the legislature; from Ottawa county, but I. do not j know whether the report 'is correct or not. "J. E. Brewer of Abilene will not be a candidate. He has deeded his boom to Smith, I am informed, and will give Smith his support." WHERE HOCH WILL SPEAK Won't Work Much for State for Next Two Months. Governor Hoch will leave Tuesday for Maquoketa, Iowa, where he will begin his series of Chautauqua lec tures, which will take most of his time from now until the middle of August. On a portion of the tour, Mrs. Hoch will accompany the governor. The tour has been planned so that the gov ernor may spend a portion of each week at his office in Topeka. The two dates on August 4 at Gree ley, Colo., have not been finally ac cepted. August 4 is Sunday, and Governor Hoch is opposed to speaking at Sunday Chautauquas.

Johnson Staved Off His Execution Two Years. New York, June 24. John Johnson, a wife murderer, was put to death in the electric chair in Sing Sing prison early today. Two contacts were given. Johnson murdered his wife, Catherine at their home in Yonkers two years ago in the presence of their two young children. He had been an ex-convict, had treated his wife badly and shot her when she threatened to leave him. Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer convict ed of the murder of Millionaire William Marsh Rice, took a deep interest In Johnson when the two were confined to gether in the death house and it was through advice given by him that John son, by appeals to the courts was able to stave off death up to this time.

Reading gained point. New York Central point, Union Pacific 1 points and Federal Sugar 3 points. The profits were taken in the few stocks that had been in demand earlier and their relapse imparted a slightly heavier tone to the market.

Coburn, secretary of the Kansas board of agriculture, must be unusu ally careful with his crop statistics and his advice to the Kansas farmers in the future, says Charles Cessions, in the Kansas City Journal. Secretary James Wilson, of the federal agricultural de partment, is on his trail, hoping to pick up something on Coburn that will crip pie his fame as an authority on agricul ture. '"Watch everything Coburn does; read everything Coburn puts out, and report any mistakes or misstatements to me,' is the order which Wilson has given to his army of experts. And the experts are watching and reading Coburn's stun very carefully. So far, they have found no mistakes or misstatements to report to their chief. Secretary Wilson is nettled over couple of jabs which Mr. Coburn made at him. Two years ago Secretary Wilson put Kansas in the class of "aria" states. Coburn wouldn't stand for that, and he Issued a pamphlet showing that Kansas produced more stuff than Iowa, the home of Mr. Wilson; that in the production of wheat and corn combined Kansas led all states of the union; that Kansas farmers had more money on deposit, per capita, than the farmers of any other agricultural state, and a lot of information of that kind, which thoroughly discredited the Wilson statement that Kansas was an "arid" state. Then, to rub salt Into the wounds, it just happened that Secretary Wilson had some speaking engagements in Western Kansas, and had to use boats to tret to the places on account of the heavy rains. Coburn gave the Western newspapers the tip, and they printed cartoons of Wilson doing "arid Kan sas In a boat. When the green bug was devastat ing the Kansas wheat fields recently, out of the goodness of his heart Sec retary Wilson decided to give the Kansas farmers some advice as to how to heat that bug in the future. He wrote a letter to Secretary Coburn and asked that it be, printed in the Kan sas naners. In it Mr. Wilson advised Kansas farmers to plant turkey red wheat. He paid that in 1S97 he made norne experiments and found that tur kev red spread out and withstood the ravages of bugs better than any other kind. It was great on tne stool, etc. Coburn printed the Wilson letter an right. Then he, gave out a statement himself, showingthat for the past twenty years Kansas had practically nroduced no other kind of wheat. Millers and wheat growers over the country began to poke fun at Wilson for makinsr experiments in is wun turkey r?d wheat, which Kansas had grown successfully, and almost ex clusively, for a decade before. For the federal agricultural department to be held up S3 ten years behind the times grated on Mr. Wilson s nerves, in fact, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. He couldn't endure the grilling of Coburn any longer without trying to get even. so ne gave ti order to his experts. "I have read Coburn's last biennial report of a thousand pages or more from cover to cover," said one of Mr. Wilson's experts, "and I could not find a thing that we. could attack. It should be used as a text book in every agricultural college in the world. But I dare not say so to my boss." Secretary .Wilson recently added to his reputation as an agricultural and cattle sharp by stating that there 5-hould be no objection on the part of the public to paying the present high prices for meat, "as It Is all owing to the good times and high wages paid everywhere." Some people contend that Secretary Wilson is not a humorist. STOLE TWO FIDDLES. Burghirs Also Carried Off 350 Pounds of Silver Plate, New York, June 24.
