President of the "Western Fed eration of Miners Testifies on Behalf of the Hay wood Defense. EVIDENCE RULED OUT By Which Attorney Clarence Darrow Sought to Show That There Was a Plot Against the Miners Organization. Boise, July 10. Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners and fellow defendant of William D. Haywood In the indict ment charging him with the mur der of Frank Steunenberg, wis sworn today as a witness in behalf of his comrade. He was called by the de fense this morning and was escorted into court by a deputy sheriff. He seemed quite self possessed and as he walked to the stand looked around the court room, apparently seeking a glimpse of his wife, who occupied an Inconspicuous chair behind one of the press tables. He displayed some nerv ousness as his examination began but within a few minutes was going very steadily in a recital of his connection with the Western Federation of Miners. During the review of the Coeur D'Alene strike of 1899. the witness said he was in sympathy with the strikers in their struggle and he never had any personal hostility toward Frank Steunenberg. In describing his duties Moyer de clared that they required that he be absent from Denver plotting ground cf the conspiracy alleged by the state more than half the time. Shortly before noon the witness en tered upon a lengthy examination as to the Cripple Creek strike of 1903-04. A 1 W V Illllh'I MM A-V When the Haywood trial opened this morning Senator Borah read the cross examination in the deposition of W. A. Abernathy, a contractor and former miner in the Coeur D'Alenes. who de clared he heard Harry Orchard say he would "get" Governor Steunenberg some time. This was the last of the depositions which had occupied the court since Monday. When the reading of the depositions was concluded John L. Tierney. a newspaper correspondent of Denver, -was called by the defense. He testified regarding the political situation in Col orado in 1904 and 1905. when it was alleged attempts were made on the life of Governor Peabody ar4 Sttjme Court Justices Goddard and Gabbert. Tieniev said he was a candidate for the legislature in 1904. Asked if he was elected on the face of the returns but not allowed to take his seat, there was an objection from the state and the witness was not allowed to reply. Tier ney next was asked what the public feeling in the city of Denver was as against Governor Peabody and the su pieme court in 1904 and 1905. Again there came an objection from the state and a long argument ensued. Mr. Darrow declared it was the pur pose of the defense to show that there were others whose feelings and motives were stronger than any that could be charged against the Western Federa- j tion of Miners. "Are you going to show that some body other than Orchard committed the crimes?" queried Judge Wood. Would Xot Rob Orchard. "No, your honor." replied Darrow. "we will presume that Orchard did those things, but we propose to show that he was acting as agent for those who must have had a stronger feeling than the Western Federation of Miners. We propose to show that these defend ants had absolutely nothing to do with Orchard in connection with these inci dents. We want to show motive pure and simple. We want to show that emong a great class of people in the city of Denver was a feeling infinitely stronger than has been charged against the Western Federation of Miners as a result of the eight hour decision." Senator Boiah started to reply to Mr. Darrow when Judge Wood inter rupted, saying it was not necessary to take up any more time. "The court is satisfied," he said, "that this testimony on the statement of counsel, is not admissible." Mr. Darrow here, said he desired to go Into the matter in detail and state facts expected to. be proved by the wit ness. The jury was sent out of the room while the argument proceeded. Mr. Darrow then went at length into '.the matter of the Peabody-Adams gubernatorial contest and the attempt to unseat Democratic members of the legislature. Judges of the supreme court elected a? Populists and Demo crats sided wiih the Republicans, he declared, and the feeling grew so strong that flags were displayed at half mast and nooses hung in windows, for the supreme court. Senator Borah entered formal objec tion to any such testimony on the ground that it had no connection with the case ap it would simply establish threats by these parties and by hear say evidence. The objection was sus tained, Tierney left the stand and the Jury returned to the room. Moyer Is Called. Charles H. Moyer was then called to the stand. Mis. Moyer was in the court room when her husband took the stand. She occupied a seat inside the railing and Immediately behind coun sel for the state. She was dressed in white. Her sister sat beside her. Af ter being escorted to the witness chair by a bailiff and sworn, Moyer was questioned by Attorney Darrow as to tome of the details of his early life. He said he had been a miner since 1S88. He joined the Western Federation of Miners in 1S97 and was first elected president in June. 1902, having been re-elected annually since that. Moyer said he had worked in a smelter for three years and a half of his life. He first came into promin ence in the national organization of the federation in 1899. when at the Salt Lake convention he was elected a member of the executive board un der President Ed Boyce. For nine months prior to his election as presi dent Moyer acted as an organizer for the union. He first met William D. Haywood at the- 1900 convention in Denver. Haywood was chosen secretary-treasurer in 1901. The witness Mid he was an Ofld Fellow and also a member of the Ancient Order of Lnited Workmen, having been in the latter organization for eight years. Mr. Darrow here had witness identify a copy of the constitution of the West ern Federation of Miners and offered in evidence. There was no objection from the state. It was announced that the reading could be deferred. Mr. Moyer said that as president no bond was required of him, but that Hay wood, secretary-treasurer was under a bond of $30,000. Away Much of the Time. The witness declared that his duties as president of the organization re quired his absence from headquarters a greater part of the time. The territory covered by the West ern Federation extends from Michigan to the Pacific coast and from Alaska to Mexico. There were 22,000 mem bers of the federation when Moyer was elected. When he was arrested more than a year ago, there were more than 30.000 members and ac cording to this year's report there are more tnan 40,000. -ow, air. Aioyer, during vour terms as president what had been the custom of the organization toward defending members of the union who had been charged with crime grow ing out of their connection with the union or where the federation has been involved?" asked Mr. Darrow. "It has been the rule of the organi zation always to protect its members and the interest of the organization where attacks have been made against them." Moyer spoke with absolute self possession. He seemed to weigh every word of his answers. Has the organization had to defend its members quite often?" "Yes." "And have there been many convic tions?" "Very few. considering the number who have had charges placed against them." "Where were you in 1899 during the Coeur D'Alene troubles?" "In the Black Hills of South Dako ta." Member of Executive Board. Moyer said he did not become a mem ber of the executive board until the June following their troubles. He had nothing to do with the management of the strike or no interest in it. other than as a member of the organization a long distance from the scene of the troubles. After becoming a member of the executive board he had to vote on matters concerning the latter part of tne strike. "Were you in sympathy with the men In the Coeur D'Alenes?" "I was, yes, sir." "Did you ever know Gov. Steunen berg?" "No. sir." "Ever see him?" "No, sir." "Did you ever entertain any personal hostility toward him?" "No, sir." "You had the same feeling that other members of the organization had?" I can not say that I felt the same as the men who were actually in the troubles. I was at some distance and could not feel as strongly as they did." Mr. Darrow then took the witness to the Cripple Creek district of Colo rado. Tin strike started at Colorado City In February, 1903. The men in the Corrrrsnlir-CItT "Trrtne5rMrrre-rsaid, desired to organize end affiliate with the Western Federation of Miners. Thir right to do so was contested by the employers and many of the men wre discharged The state militia was called out almost as soon as the strike was inaugurated and despite that fact, the witness declared, there was no disorder. Many citizens pro tested against the presence of the sol diers. Strike Spread. The strike extended to Cripple Creek In August. 1903, the men were going out in support of the Colorado City mil! men. Practically all the ore mined in Cripple Creek was shipped to Colorado City for treatment in the mills there. The mine owners had first been requested not to send their ore to Colorado City. The Portland mine, the largest In the district, sided with the union and milled its own ore. The strike spread to Telluride in Sep tember. 1903, the mill men there go ing out for an eight hour day. An eight hour law was passed in 1899 but was declared unconstitutional. A constitutional amendment providing an eight hour law was voted upon and adopted at the general election in 1903. but the legislature which fol lowed refused to enact such a law be cause of the opposition of the mine owners. Soon after the strike was called at Cripple Creek, Moyer said he and Haywood went there to address the miners at a picnic in Pinacle park. I addressed the men as to my opinion how the strike should be con ducted. I went into details as to the cause of the strike and urged the men to be careful about any acts of vio lence, or anv acts which might be charged against them and used against the organization." said Moyer. The troops went into the Cripple Creek district September 4. 1903. "What was the condition as to peace and quiet at the time?" asked Mr. Dar row. The state objected to this as a conclusion of the witness. The question was finally allowed and Moyer declared the men were going peaceably about their business and there was no disor der. "How long did the strike In Cripple Creek continue Same Old Strike. "It is still in progress there." Moyer said he first met Steve Adams at the Pinnacle park picnic. Adams was serv ing lemonade, ice cream and soft drinks at a refreshment stand which the union had set up. The witness was introduced by some one standing near; he could not remember Just who it was. "When did you first meet Harry Or chard "In January. 1904, at headquarters of the Western Federation of Miners." "How do you recall this?" "There was a convention called by the state federation of labor a general meeting of wage earners. Orchard was a delegate from Cripple Creek represent ing the Altman Miners' union. I called a meeting of the representatives of our local unions at my office. Orchard was among the 20 or more men who respond ed. I don't think I had any personal conversation with him." "Did you see him in your office in De cember, 1903?" "No, sir." "Did he come Into your office Decem ber 1. 1903. and tell you he had blown up the Vindicator mine and did you pat mm on tne Dack and tell him he had done a good job and give him $400?" "No, sir," replied Moyer positively. "I never saw the man until January. 1904." "Did you have such a conversation with him at any time?" I did not." Moyer said he was In Joplin. Mo., at the time of the Vindicator mine ex- HE SAID GOOD BY. Emmett Dalton Submits to an Operation This Morning. Joked With Doctors Before An esthetic Was Administered. TOOK OYER AS HOUK. Surgeons Say He Will Recoyer Use of Arm. Mother Failed to Arrive as He Had Hoped. "Goodby, boys, if I don't see you again in this world I will In the next," were the last words of ex-Bandit Em mett Dalton as he succumbed to the ether administered previous to an oper ation performed at Bethesda hospital this morning by Dr. John Outland, who is attempting to save thi -Ight arm which was shattered by a Winchester ball during the raid on the Coffeyville bank in October, 1892. Dalton is under a sentence of death for his part in the affray which cost the lives of two of his brothers and their pals as well as several Coffeyville citizens, and was paroled from the state penitentiary for four months so that he could enter a hospital for the op eration which was performed this morning. Necrosis of the bone set in about 18 months ago, though it had not troubled him for the past ten years. It was the intention of Dalton to have the operation performed in Kansas City but he changed his mind and came to I Topeka Saturday and Monday entered Bethesda hospital to prepare for the operation which took place this morn ing. He did not dread it as most pati ents would but was anxious to get It over with. He walked Into the operation room at a quarter of 9 this morning and af ter Joking with the attending physi cians climbed up on the operating ta ble and prepared for the ether. There was not a bobble and a few moments later he drifted out into the unknown world and for an hour and ten minutes Dr. Outland, alternately chiseled, scrap ed and cut in his attempt to remove the diseased portion of the bone. There is but little doubt but the op eration will prove a success is the opin ion of Dr. Outland and Doctors Ernest and Powell who assisted In the opera tion, though It is barely possible that another slight operation may be neces sary later on to remove small portions of diseased bone that have been over looked. Two incisions were made In the arm between the elbow and shoulder and several pus cavities and particles of necrosed bone remsved. Neither of the joints at the elbow or shoulder were affected and It is more than likely that Dalton will not only re cover the use of his arm, but his fin gers as well and that in time the arm will be as strong as before It was in jured. The mark of the rifle ball could be plainly seen and the wonder Is that the present trouble has been averted as long as it has. About half of the bone was chiseled away ror a space of three inches and this cavity will have to be filled with a new growth of bone before the arm will be of use. Dalton had dreaded the operation more from the fact that the surgeons insisted on administering an anesthet ic than fro mthe operation itself, but submitted when told that the opera tion would be a long one and an anes thetic necessary. He was cool and collected and asked Dr. Outland to keep him under the influence of the anesthetic as long as necessary to make a good job of the operation. "Don't hurry the affair," he said, "for I can wait and I want a thorough job made of it." It was expected that Mrs. Dalton of Kingfisher, Okla.. mother of patient, would arrive in time for the operation but she was delayed and Dalton took a philosophical view of the matter and insisted on the operation taking place this morning as it had been ar ranged. He readily recovered from the effects of the anesthetic, though as he expressed it, his tongue was thick for awhile, though he was not sick, as is often the case. plosion and first read of It in the Kan sas City papers. The witness went to Cripple Creek in February, 1904. to attend the trials of the members of the federation who were charged with attempting to wreck a train on the Florence Cripple Creek railway. He saw Orchard there many times at the trial. Orchard seemed anxious to do what he could to help in preparing the case and did a great deal. "Did you ever meet Harry Orchard In Victor and give him $100 for his good work at the Vindicator mine?" "No, sir. "Did you ever give him $100 at any time or place? To the best of my recollection," re plied Moyer deliberately, "I never gave Orchard any money for any crime or for any other purpose. No Money for Crime. "Well, did you ever give any money for any crime? "No." "Or know of his getting any money from the organization for any crime or any criminal act?" No, sir. "Did you say in the train wrecking case that you wanted no mention made of the 'Pettibone dope?" "I had never heard of such a thing at that time." The next time the witness saw Or chard was in 1904. Moyer detailed his trip to Ouray. Col., with Orchard in 1904. He said Orchard was going there to get work and Moyer suggested that they travel together. This for self protection be cause of attacks on members of the organization. He described their ar rangements for carrying revolvers and sawed off shotruns, which he said were secured by Pettibone. Orchard, Moyer said, bought his own ticket, but Moyer paid his expenses and hotel bill. Court adjourned for luncheon at 11:58 a. m. with Moyer still on the stand. Weather Indications.

Petition Against ihe Tobacco Combine Is Filed. WIDE IX ITS SCOPE About 60 Companies and 29 Individuals Included. juetaus 01 organization and Operation Are Set Forth.' New York, July 10. The govern ment today filed in the United States circuit court in this city a petition against the American Tobacco com pany, the Imperial Tobacco company the British-American Tobacco com pany. the American' Snuff company, the American Cigar company, the United Cigar Stores company, the American Stogie company, the Mac Andrews Forbes company, the Con ley-Foil company and fifty-six other corporations and twenty-nine Individ uals conected with." the; named com panies. These corporations and indi- uals connected with the named com known as the "Tobacco. Trust" and the petition directed against them sets forth the purpose ol the' government to dissolve this trust by breaking up the agreements under which the con solidated concerns are working. In showing the growth of the "trust' since its organization in 1890, the con clusion is reached that at an early day unless prevented, it would completely monopolize the entire tobacco in dustry. That all of the defendants are en gaged in interstate and foreign trade and commerce in tobacco and products manufactured therefrom is alleged by the petition. It is stated that the act of July 2. 1890.' "to protect trade and commerce and subsequent acts have been violated and the government therefore seeks to prevent and re strain the unlawful existing agree ments, combinations and -conspiracies and attempts to monopolize, and break up perfected monopolies. The govern ment asks that the existing combina tions, conspiracies and monopolies be enjoined and that each of the defend ant companies be" restrained from holding or controlling stock in any other. It is asked further that the Imperial Tobacco company be enjoin ed from doing business within the jur isdiction of the United States until it shall cease to observe the terms of its agreement with American companies; that certain of the defendants be de clared combinations in restraint of trade and be enjoined from engaging in interstate nds foreign trade and commerce or that a receiver be ap pointed to take chargeof .their affairs and administer them so as to bring about conditions in harmony with the law. History of the Trust. M The organization of the tobacco trust. according to the petition, dates from the formation of the American Tobacco company in 1890 to acquire five com peting cigarette manufactories wttn joint assets much less than $25,000,000 and an annual consumption oi lear un der 15 million pounds. The petition shows the subsequent history, develop ment and growth of that company until its total assets now exceed $275,000,000 and likewise the origin and manipula tlon of scores of created, acquired and controlled corporations utilized as agen cies to accomplish the general design; the progressive absorption and elimina tion of competitors and destruction of formidable opposition; and the entry by defendants into various departments of manufacture and trade, domestic and foreign, into tobacco products with in tent to monopolize. The allegation is made that the mem bers of the combination have divided up the tobacco business of the world, as signing to each some special territory for unmolested exploitation, it is declared that the consolidated corporations an nually purchase 475 million pounds of domestic leaf and of the total produced in the United States manufacture, sell and distribute more than 280 million pounds, 80 per cent, of the smoking and plug-tobaccos; 95 per cent of the snuff; 80 per cent of the-cigarettes; 75 per cent of the small cigars; 95 per cent of the licorice products; 80 per cent of the tin foil products and 10 to 15 per cent of the cigars and stogies; that they are rapid ly acquiring control of the ordinary agencies Jobbers, wholesalers and re tailers through which tobacco products are distributed. Of the total annual production of do mestic tobacco, estimated at 800,000,000 pounds. 75 per cent is purchased by the American Tobacco company and its as sociates and Its allies at prices which the government alleges to be unlawfully influenced by the combination. It is said that this is in defiance of the usual laws of trade where open competition by many separate and independent con cerns controls the prices. Began With Cigarettes. The petition continues: "The American Tobacco company of New Jersey, organized in 1890, with $25, 000,000 capital, took over the business of Allen Ginter of Richmond; W. Duke Sons Co., of North Carolina; Kinney Tobacco company, W. S. Kim ball Co., and Goodwin Co., of New York, and thereby acquired control of the manufacture, trade and commerce In cigarettes. It was immediately success ful and shortly after its formation the interested parties began to extend its operations and witn otners united from time to time have steadily sought through it to acquire dominant power and to monopolize the different branch es of the tobacco industry. This com pany has the principal agency through which the designs of the combination have been accomplished, but many dif ferent corporations have been organiz ed, the control of many others has been secured and in various ways these have been manipulated and utilized. "The operations of the monopoly, ac cording to the petition have been along this general plan: xo acquire through other confederated companies the bus iness of successful opponents, taking from owners and managers power thereafter to engage in the tobacco business: to drive out other opponents by destructive competition; to deter any who might wisn to engage in the trade; and finally to gain- control of the a&rencies through which tobacco nrod- ucts were distributed.

United States Grand Jury Finds a True Bill. It Contains 65 Counts on Charge of Rebating. Chicago, July 10. An indictment charging the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway with granting rebates amounting to $12,000 to the United States Sugar Beet company of Garden City, Kan..' was returned today by the grand jury In the United States district court. The indictment contains 65 counts, each one relating to an alleged infringement of the law and the com pany if convicted is subject to a maxi mum fine of $1,300,000 or a minimum fine of $65,000. The rebates are said to have been granted by the Santa Fe railway while the sugar refinery was being erected at Garden City, In 1905 and 1906, on shipments of building ma terial, the freight on which amounted to $100,000. It is alleged that the railroad had agreed to return $35,000 of the $100,000 but that only $12,000 had been paid when complaints were heard from other shippers and the government commenced an investiga tion. It is alleged by the government officials that the officers of the railway have admitted that $12,000 was paid, but it Is maintained by the railway that the money constituted a bonus to encourage the building of the sugar refinery on a site adjoining the rail road and was not given as a rebate nor as a discrimination against other ship pers. STRIKE MUST GO ON. Last Hope of Agreement in Telegraph Trouble Has Disappeared. San Francisco", July 10. Indications are that the telegraphers' strike will spread and that the next walkout of operators will take place in some large eastern center. A committee of Western Union operators called upen I. M. Miller, jr., assistant general superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company for the purpose of discussing grievances. The committee was met by Chief Op erator H. J. Jeffs, who read a note con veying what Miller had to say to a com mittee which was as follows: "Mr. Miller declines to meet such a committee, but is willing to extend a courteous hearing to each operator now out on strike and will consider favorably the reinstatement of any and all who come to him, giving assurance of their personal desire to be reinstated in their positions, -the same as they were before the strike was called. But he reserves the right to refuse to receive or reinstate any one to his position who is undesira ble and that matter must be absolutely left to his judgment as assistant gen eral superintendent." After the result of the meeting was made known to President S. J. Small of the Commercial Telegraphers' union he sent a telegram to President Roose velt, claiming that every honorable means had been exhausted to secure an adjustment and that he had no hope of a settlement without an extensive strike; that in answer to the demands of the telegraphers throughout the country, that the strike be made general,he would leave for Chicago today. It was an nounced yesterday that U. S. Labor Commissioner Neill would leave Chi cago for this city to investigate the local trouble. Small telegraphed Secretary Russell of Chicago to wire Commissioner Neill that if he desired to see him that he would be in Chicago Sunday. President Small also sent a telegram to H. B. Perham of St. Louis, president of the Railway Telegraphers, to meet him next Sunday in Chicago if possible to confer with him. TO FIX ELECTION DATE. Oklahoma Constitutional Convention Assembles for Final Session. Guthrie, Okla., July 10. The conven tion that early this year drafted a con stitution for the proposed new state of Oklahoma, reconvened here today after a two months' recess. The convention had previously set August 6 as the date upon which the document should be submitted to the vote of the people for ratification or rejectioi, but in light of later developments this date was an nulled. The present work of the con vention will be to set a new election date to finish up a good deal of minor work and to adjourn sine die. The final adjournment is expected with ten days. After the convention has adjourned, the Republican state committee will is sue a call for a state convention to name a full set of officers. The Republican gathering had been called to meet at Tulsa, July 12, but later it was deter mined to cancel this date and wait un til the constitution finished its work be fore meeting. The Democrats have al ready named their county,, state, con gressional and senatorial tickets. MAKES JOR WAR Little Peace Talk Is Heard at The Hague Conference. United States and Japan' Are Centers of Interest. SITUATION STKAINED. Some Pointed Notes Reach Washington from Tokio. We Must Go to Europe to Learn the News. London, July 10. The correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at The Hague sends in a column dispatch which pur ports to reflect the views prevailing there on the Japanese-American situa tion which he declares to be more ab sorbing than the conference itself. The correspondent says that as a result of his inquiries he learns the situation is really strained, although both govern ments are trying to conceal the fact. He asserts that since June 20 the ques tion has entered upon an acute phase. Japan has been aemlins tha TTnltAri States extremely categorical notes stating without bitterness but in the clearest terms the dilemma that unless Washington is able to control Califor nia, Japan will consider herself free to act directly against California. Noth ing, however, yet has been exchanged precluding a pacific settlement but many of the Japanese at The Hague are of the opinion that the Japan gov ernment ought to act without delay and not give American time to utilize her vast resources and economic potentiali ty, a hundred fold greater than Jap an's to perfect warlike preparations. In an editorial article the Telegraph says it does not identify itself with the statements of its correspondent at The Hague oeueving them to be charged with undue despondency. At the same time the paper continues, they are made upon a notable authority and they can not be read without profound uneasi ness, 'ine lelegraph Is convinced, how ever, that the statesmanship of both countries will be stiong enough and the instinct of the two great nations are enough to hold mad chauvinism in leash. "Nevertheless," the paper declares, "it Is impossible to deny the danger of the situation. The present peace conference from its opening has created disagreement and friction tending to make worse instead of im prove the relations of the powers. The last assembly at The Hague was fol lowed by great conflicts; we can only pray that the present one may not be succeeded by more terrible calami ties." In conclusion after a tull discussion of the points of difference the Tele graph declares it Is not a fcolor ques- 1 tion but fundamentally an economic question. It says further: "We trust our allies will take It at that and realize the point of national honor has been accidentally caught up with the problem, but is not perma nently involved In It. Any attempt to settle the question by arms whatever the immediate issue, would mean sooner or later, a hundred years' con flict." In Case of War. Des Moines, la., July 10. Neither Japan or the United States want a war at this time, said Congressman Hull, chairman of the house committee on military affairs this morning. There is a big element in Japan who wel come war. but the ruling classes are too wise to pick a quarrel with the union. "If there Is war we will at first lose the Philippines and the Hawaiian islands, but we would triumph in the end for the United States would build warships and fight out a victory. "We are the only nation which cm conduct a war and get rich at tho same time." WIH Take It Back. Tokio July 10. The Hochl will to morrow withdraw the Interview with Admiral Sakamoto. The latter wai quoted as saying that American naval officers were brilliant social figures but deficient in professional training and practice and that the crews of Ameri can ships would retreat rather than fight Japan. Simultanously with the withdrawal of this Interview, the Hochl will pub lish an anonymous interview with a Japanese naval expert, highly eulo gistic of the efficiency of the present navy and the high standard of its gunnery. Denied by Both. Washington, July 10. From the stnte department and from the Japanese em bassy here came swift and conclusive denial today of the accuracy of the statement cabled from The Hague to the London Daily Telegraph and re printed In this country to the effect that Japan has made categorical de mands upon the United States govern ment for satisfaction in connection with the treatment of Japanese In San Francisco and has served notice of her Intention to deal with the Callfornlans herself If the national government falls to do so. At the state department. It is said, that the American public is fully aware of the nature of all the exchanges that have taken place on this subject; that there has been no correspondence of re cent date and that there are no ne gotiations In progress between the two governments. This statement is fully confirmed at the Japanese embassy where, moreover it Is positively stated that Ambassador Aokl Is not going to Japan next fall as was reported in a Japanese newspaper. 1 BEGINS WITH "MESSIAH'!

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOXJSNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1907. GAME IS A FARCE. Hissing of Dr. Jay Andrews the Only Feature. Hutchinson Manager Appeared Cruel and Inhuman. !1R. JONES WAS HURT. Forced to Stay on Base Until Jle Dropped. Abbott in the Box Clinched Contest for Topeka. Pr. Jay Andrews of the Hutchinson team pulled off the most stellar stunt for cruelty and inhumanity ever seen on the local diamond and although It did not win him the game it decreased the number of his friends in this city and took all the interest out of yes terday afternoon's contest. The deed was perpetrated in the sixth inning. JoreB led oft with a hit and in going to second on Lawler's bunt strained a ligament in his groin. Andrews re fused to let him have a runner unless Hurlburt would agree to" take him out of the game, and Jones was compelled to stay on the base although he was unable to walk. On the next ball thrown which would ordinarily have been a safe hit, Jones, was caught try ing to go to third when he was unable to put any weight on one leg. It was necessary to carry him off the Held where medical, assistance had to be rendered. He was in a very bad con dition and was suffering intense pain and the act of Andrews was extremely unpopular as was evidenced by the prolonged hisses of the crowd. The First Kan. The game at the best was a rank exhibition of baseball. It was some what"' of the order of the old games which used to be played in the coun try towns on a Saturday afternoon. There were few. good plays and several bad ones. Topeka used three of the regular pitchers and when Jones was disabled Abbott w;as forced to pitch in order-Ao save BunlroeModay's game. Hutchinson used J.wo pitchers which made six for the game." The game was a protracted and long .drawn out affair and did not terminate, until long after the cows on the neighboring hillside had been turned out for the night. Grandpa: Dalrymple on the Coaching Line. The local pennant winning aspirants were the first to negotiate any men across the plate. After Lawler had fanned in the first inning Hurlburt drew -a comp to first base. Abbott popped up to Andrews. Erwin sent a grass cutter down to Andrews which the foxy doctor juggled and Speck went to second. Dalrymple beat out an infield grounder and Spec was on third. While Kunkel was. batting the Topeka captain stole home and Dal rymple went to second. Runkel se cured life on Johnson's bobble and Ragan tripled over Noyes'-head, scor ing Erwin, Dalrymple -'and Runkel. Olson flew out to Johnson and the in ning was over. Result four runs. Malaria Is an atmospheric poison which, we unconsciously breathe into our system. The blood in its constant passage through the lungs absorbs the germs, and they destroy the rich., red corpuscles of this vital fluid and reduce it to such a weak, watery -condition that it is unable to properly nourish the system, and disease gets a foothold. Then the symptoms of .Malaria, such as pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion, an4 perhaps chills and fever show that the trouble is affecting every part of the body. Malaria also affects the liver, producing a chronic state of bilious ness, and often a long spell of fever follows when the blood becomes fully contaminated with the poison. Chronic Sores and Ulcers, boils, aches and pains, and skm affections of various kinds often result Irom this insidious disease if the poison is allowed to accumulate in the blood in sufficient quan tities. Malaria must be removed from the system through, the circulation, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. This great remedy goss down into the blood and drives out all germs, microbes and poisons, and perma nently cures Malaria, S. S. S. not only cleanses the blood -of the cause, but furnishes it with the healthful properties it needs, so that h istead a weak germ-infected stream, spreading disease throughout the system, it becomes a rich, red fluid, nourishing the body and enabling rifc to resist disease. 6. S, 13 also the greatest of all tonics, and builds tip and invigorates the entire system while ridding the blood of the germs of Malaria. 1 Persons who re suffering from Malaria will be pleased with the prompt and', pleasant re sults produced by the use of S. S. S, and can take it with confid ence because ft is am absolutely safe medicine, being free from harmful min erals of any kind, Book on. the blood and any medical advice desired sent free to all r; ,the SWUT SPECIFIC CO., ailawia, ga. Another run came r in the second when Halla hit safe and reached first, Lawler attempted a bunt and flew out to Woods. The boy wonder In his effort to complete a double on Halla overthrew first and Halla came home Halla started the box work for the locals and got along well enough until the third when his trouble commenced. Woods started off with a single and Pettigrew followed siut. Wilson pop ped u- to Olson and Andrews reached first when Abbott fumbled his ground er, Woods scoring. Zink sent the ball out where after Spec chased it around the flag pole Zink had reached third and Pettigrew and Andrews had scored. This was enough for Halla said Captain Spec and Arnold was brought in. LewiBSacrinced Zink home and Noyes retired the Salt Packers with a fly to Ragan. s When the Ball Went Into the Grand .Stand. The visitors copped another in the fourth on a hit by Johnson and an other by Pettigrew which with a wild pitch by Arnold scored Johnson. In the fifth a single by Lewis after two men had been retired with, a triple by Noyes was responsible for another run. Topeka scored one in the fourth on a hit by Olson, who stole second and third in succession, and then scored on Lawler's single.. Skinny Horton replaced woods in the fifth inning. Skinny started out by walkig Erwin. Dalrymple hit one to Horton and was retired at first. After two strikes had been called on Runkel Horton threw one which hit the ground in front of the plate. Runkel thought he could put the ball over the fence as it was coming up and struck at it. The bail bounded over his head and through a small hole in the wire netting into the grandstand where a small boy held it until Erwin and Runkel had both completed the circuit. In the sixth Johnson reached first on an error but was caught at second on Horton's fielder's choice. Petti grew and Wilson singled in succes sion, filling the bases. At this juncture Jones replaced Arnold. A scratch hit by Andrews scored Horton but Zink popped- up to Erwin and Lewis fanned. Topeka in the sixth managed to score despite Andrews' action in re fusing a runner for Jones. After Jones and Lawler singled in succes sion and Jones was caught at third Lawler scored from second on Hor ton's wild pitch. Abbott took Jones" place In the box In the seventh inning with the team two runs to the good and gave the beat exhibition of pitching seen dur ing,, the whole afternoon. His- deliv ery had all the curves,, breaks, fade-, a ways, frills and furhelows of a. major leaguer and the Salt diggers could do but little with it. In the eighth in ning, however, a single by Wilson and a fielder's choice, by ""Andrews-together with a double by .Zink sent An drews home. Just to put the game away without a doubt Topeka got busy in the eighth inning. Lawler started out with a home run to right center. Hurlburt followed with a two sacker and then after two men were out- Wilson drop ped Dalrym pie's long fly and. Spec scored. Two bases on- balls followed, filling the bases, and then Dalrymple scored on a neat single by Olson. The official score of the excitement and Andrews' dirty work: TOPEKA. Player' AB. R. H. O. A.

Wilson was the only man on either team who had a' chance and he dropped the balL Jay Andrews said last night that the action of the fans in hissing him yester day was unjustified,. Here is his state ment in regard to the affair which is printed here that, the fans may form their own opinion: "I do not think that I merited any of the criticism which was given to me yesterday. Speck was trying to induce me to allow him to use a runner for Jones and then said that he Intended to- continue with Jones in the box. I did not think that that was the proper way to do and wouldn't stand for it. I told him that he could have a runner pro viding he would not continue in the game. I did not realize his eondition nor did. I have any- idea that it was an injury as bad as it was, otherwise I might have acted differently. I am in the game to win and always want to do what I can to bring that end about. As for Jones I did not think that he was badly hurt until I saw him coming to third. As a bait player and a brother Elk. I have the highest opinion of Bert Jones and hope that he will be in the game within a few days." There is a story of a personal feud between An drews and Hurlburt that goes with the incident which is an outgrowth of the attempt of the Andrews and Hurlburt families to keep house together-Sam- Wright, the ex-White Sox pitch er has gone to Kansas City tn the Amer ican Association where he Is said to 'ARROW ciAjecco MBONK.

Meanwhile another pitcher had taken his place and Docvhad a chance to buy him. Van Anda had a fine, record last year, being "one of the best" in that league, which is classed higher than this. .i.. ,.i Ell Wooley, the little" left fielder of the Leavenworth team is-out-of the game for. the;rest of the season which probably means that the Davis Wooley trade is off.'. Here is what the Leavenworth Post has to say: Eli Wooley,. the ball player, was Injured again at Wichita -yesterday and he re turned to Leavenworth this morning. In the first game yesterday afternoon Wooley's thumb was put on the bum again and Schaumyer with a cloth was in the act of bandaging It. In sticks ing the blade of a knife through the cloth It slipped and penetrated one of Wooley's fingers to the bone. This additional injury made It impossible for Wooley to continue playing and on the advice of a Wichita, physician he returned to Leavenworth last night. The doctor advised Wooley to keep out of the game a good long time. Wooley. Said this afternoon that he would probably return to his home in New Castle, Pa., next week to remain the balance of the season. He will be greatly missed by the Leavenworth team; In fact, he was Just about the whole team. O'BRIEN AND HEER THE SAME. Kansas Men Win All Kinds of Honors at Lexington Shoot.

WITHIN 7 CENT JIARGIN They Must Be Kept Close to the Wheat Tariff. Other Items of Interest Railway People. to Washington. July 10.' The Inter state commerce commission in an opinion by Commissioner Prouty an nounced Its decision yesterday in the case of the Howard Milling company against the Missouri Pacific Railway company and other carriers. The com plainant alleged that the defendant carriers unduly discriminated against Kansas millers in favor of California millers by exacting rates for the trans portation of flour which was 10 cents greater per 100 than the rates con temporaneously exacted for transpor tation of wheat from Wichita and oth er shipping points in Kansas to points in California, known as "Pacific Coast Terminals" and also by exacting rates for the transportation of flour which were 35 cents per 100 greater than the rates contemporaneously exacted by them for the transportation of wheat from the said shipping points to Phoenix, Ariz. The commission decided that the flour rates between the shipping and destination points should not exceed the wheat rates between such points by more than seven cents per hundred. The commission says that there is no inflexible requirement that rates upon grain and the products of grain should be under all circumstances the same but rather that carriers may, in just regard for their own interests or to meet special conditions, vary those rates within narrow limits. When, however, the relation has been estab lished, business developed and money expended upon the strength of It, then the carrier can not, in the absence of some sufficient reason, change that' re lation nor would the commission di rect such a change. History of liie Case. This suit was brought before the in terstate commerce commission against the leading railroads operating in Kansas by the Howard Milling com pany of Wichita about the first of January, 1907. The case dragged along until after legislature when, un der authority given by a law enacted during the last session., the state board of railroad commissioners intervened on behalf of the state of Kansas. That put the atorney for the board into the fight and he appeared before the com mission both on the Pacific and At lantic coasts in presenting the Kansas side of the case. At present there is a differential of ten cents per hundred pounds in the rates on wheat and flour shipped from interior Kansas points to California. The- contention made by the plaintiffs has been that this ten-cents was large- enough to make it possible to build up a grain milling industry in California at the expense of Kansas. California shippers, under this differential, could ship wheat from Kansas, mill it in California, and place it on the mar ket cheaper than Kansas millers could sell the flour after shipping it to Cali fornia. Attorney S. S. Ashbaugh appeared before the commission in Portland and spent two days before the commission presenting the Kansas contention. California millers were represented. A few weeks later Mr. Ashbaugh again appeared before the commission and made the final arguments in Washing ton, D. C. California was also repre sented at this hearing. Mr. Ashbaugh returned from Wash ington about two weeks ago and upon his return stated that he believed the CHECKED TAFFETA jt& tL. Very graceful Is the princess gown depicted in the sketch. The princess idea is accentuated by having the skirt perfectly tight-fitting over the hips; below shows a graduation of the material. The bretelle effect Is also com bined with the skirt; the side gores extend over the shoulders and meet a similar extension from the back. A cap is added to the bretelles falling over each shoulder. Suitable development can be had; in taffeta, chiffon pananm, shantung, rajah, checked or striped voile and linen. A fine lingerie waist worn with, this skirt makes a pretty costume. f.'.i, llliilliilil fci I j. y. 'f. l y:..-3f '-2: vfK-: S-g:SJ-sje5; s'S i s.fe.:5i MRS. ERNEST THOMPSON SET0N, WRITER AND ILLUSTRATOR OF BOOKS. When the books of Ernest Thompson Seton first appeared they were a novelty in the way of decoration and illustration and were pronounced ex tremely pretty and attractive. It did not take readers long to find out that the whole scheme of these illustrations had been devised by the naturalist's wife, Mrs. Grace Gallatin Thompson Seton. who herself made the decorative drawings. Mrs. Beton always lays out the mechanical and decorative part of her husband's books. That is why they are so attractive Mrs. Seton is a California woman from Sacramento. She has written several popular books, one of thm being "A Woman Tenderfoot." differential would be considerably re duced by the commission. He did not believe, however, that it would be abolished. This was what the com plainant asked for. He stated that it had been proved pretty thoroughly at the hearing that under existing condi tions a slight differential is necessary. The three cent reduction will not sat isfy the complainants, but it will be of material benefit tq Jvansas miners. They will be able to come nearer com peting with California millers who make their flour out or wneai snippeu from Kansas. ANOTHER ROAD CHARTERED.

The railroads are considering a proposition to limit the use of annual and occasional passes to the slow trains. Much dis satisfaction, it is said, has been caused by the pre-emption of the best ac commodations by employes and of ficials of the roads. The man with the VISITING GOWN. i pass is said to have crowded out the passenger who has had to pay money for his ticket and the privilege of rid ing free has been abused. New rules may be framed governing the use of passes which will prohibit all except the highest officials from traveling on the limited trains. ORIENT TO SAN ANTONIO.

Junction City. Kan.. July 10. Mr. Samuel Sullivan who has been released from Jail on a writ of "habeas corpus," is at present working in the hay fields near the city. He will remain in the city until fall when the suit instituted by him against the city for illegal deten tion In the city prison will be tried. Roark Humphrey have the case for him and will, try it at the November terms of court. Sullivan has had about all the trou ble that was coming to any man. He had gone from Kansas City, Mo., to the city of Solomon, Kan., for the pur pose of taking a diamond ring to a young lady at that place to whom he was engaged. When ne arrived there with the ring for which Sullivan had paid a jeweler of Kansas ICty a round hundred dollars, the young woman had changed her mind. Sullivan pleaded his case but to no purpose. He had only $3.50 in his pocket left from the amount taken with him and so decided to foot it back home. At Junction City he offered his ring for sale to Scott, a Jeweler here. Scott thought Sullivan looked a little too much like a tramp to be having a ring of that value about him and as a con sequence had the police look him over. The officers took him before Police Judge Stakebake and had him searched. A pocket knife was found, among other things, with a blade three inches long. Judee Stakebake fined him $10 and costs on the spot and gave out that Sullivan had pleaded guilty to carrying concealed weapons. stakeDake men took the ring for security, and remaik- ed that it could be sold for enough to pay the fine and leave enough over for a ticket to Kansas City. Sullivan remarked that he would work It out first, because he did not wish to part with the ring for less than it was worth. He was put in the dungeon and kept there for two days. Then he was-released ain order for him to earn enough to pay his fine and costs of the riroeeedines. amounting to air to io.ou. Sullivan went to Roark Humphrey, lawyers, and wanted redress. The mat ter was 'taken up ana- a time appoint ed for the next- morning when the en ttre case was to-be gone over and put in shape. That evening Sullivan was again taken into custoay witnoui. charge or warrant ana again piacea u the dungeon. He told the officers that he had a date with Roark Humph rey the next morning, but the police paid no attention to It and. did not no tify the law firm of -their again taking Sullivan into custody.: They spent two hours trying to get Sullivan to sell the ring. They said that they Knew wnere they could get him $40 for it, but he otemiv refused to sell it. At last they said that they would give him Just two minutes to make up nis mina 10 sen the ring and pay his fine or else stay in jail. If the fine was not paid within 30 days Judge Stakebake would confis cate the ring and sell it to cover fine and costs. Sullivan pleaded to be al lowed to work it out but to no pur nose. Three days later Roark Humphrey found their client in prison without a charge against him or warrant for his being placed there. The writ of "habeas corpus" was at once made out and within 15 minutes after the near irnr was called Sullivan was released, Suit has now been brought against the ritv for damages to the extent or ii.ouu. Sullivan sent to Kansas City for his clothes and other Jewelry consisting of a solid gold watch and a valuable set of stud buttons, ana nas locatea in Junction City for the time being. He says that he has never been in jail be fore ana was never aetamea dv an nffirer for any cause. He does not drink. and is at present industriously working in the hay field. A NEWSPAPER CHANGE. J.

Robert Walton, a Vernon county, Missouri, farmer, delayed a Missouri Pacific pas senger train on the track crossing his farm for half an hour by refusing to get off the track. Walton took this novel method of attempting to collect a claim against the company. Some time aso the same train with the same crew killed three mules and a horse belonging to Mr. Walton. He filed no claim against the company but waited as long as he believed was a reasonable time for the company to settle with him. The company having failed to see him about the matter, he mounted a horse Monday night and stood on the track as the train ap proached. The engineer whistled, but Walton sat in his saddle and would not permit the horse to budge, waving his hand to flag the train. The train stopped with the engine close to him, and he demanded $700 from the engineer -for his stock, saying the train could not move until he got his money. No persuasion would in duce him to relent. The conductor and train crew argued with him for a long time, and finally a crowd of passengers got out and endeavored to reason with him. Walton would listen to no argument for the delay of a settlement, and BACKACHE AN! DESPONDENCY Are both symptoms of organic de rangement, and nature's warning to women of a trouble which will soon er or later declare itself. How often do we hear women say, 'T: sooTTis rr thonp-h mv back would break." Yet they continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down In the side, dragging sensations, nerv ousness and no ambition. They do not realize that the back is the main-spring of woman s organ ism and quickly maicares vy bouiur a diseased condition of the feminine organs or kidneys, and that ache and pains will continue until the cause ts removed.

The New York Society for the Pre vention of Useless Xoises evidently does not cut much Ice during the early part of July. Gustave Meyer, an astrologer, writes to the New York Herald, predicting a snow storm in July. Will Mr. Meyer kindly hasten his snow storm along?- Since no new reforms have been started in the vicinity of Oyster Bay for a week, there is a suspicion that President Roosevelt is loafing, after all. The newspapers are referring to the Haywood trial as "about over," al though the end is still more than two weeks off. It is "about over" only relatively. The Wichita Beacon asserts that W- J. Bailey "Is probably the most popu lar private citizen of the state." Why qualify the statement with the adjec tive "private?" To the plain, plug citizen on foot, it looks as though Jake Sheppard thus far has the best of it in his letter- writing contest with the board of rail road commissioners. Senator Tillman got mad up in Michigan and challenged Senator Dol liver to fight a duel. Must be that Tillman's supply of advertising has been running low lately. Schmitz announces that he will run again for mayor of San Francisco, but his quarters in San Quentln prison for the next five years will be rather nar row for running purposes. If England were as touchy as some of those Japanese jingoes, we would be in trouble all the time over some of the things that are said in the Fourth of July orations that nobody listens to. Since Clarence Darrow is doing such an able job in defending Undesirable Citizen Haywood at Boise, perhaps Un desirable Citizen Harrlman will be glad to give him a job as soon as he is at liberty. That the "unwhipped mob" in San Francisco prefers to stay unwhipped is Indicated by the fact that the threaten ing letters General Funston receives because of his now famous utterance, are anonymous. Isn't it something of an object les lon to us Americans that no reports come from Japan telling of the mis treatment of Americans over there, such as has been accorded Japanese in Ean Francisco? It Is shown In a court case that Jim" Fike, of Colby, sold a piece of real estate for $5,900 when the price asked by the owner was only $4,600. .Which Indicates that Mr. Flke 13 a pretty good real estate agent as well as politician. 'Perhaps)," says a Colorado exchange, "the best that can be hoped for from the Boise trial is a divided Jury, but the prosecution will at least have the satisfaction of having shown up the Western. Federation in its true light." lAlso the Colorado mine owners have a frrue light or two thrown on them. The Osborne Farmer objects to the Kansas City Star's crediting D. Y. iWilson to the Sixth district for the AaAm- V a that the Si T t Vi han not of fices enough to satisfy E. B. Dyer, let alone Mr. Wilson. But since Colonel Iyer has reformed, and Wilson has moved to Oklahoma, the demand for offices up. that way ought to be greatly lessened. Henry Allen says Stubbs' support for the nomination for governor comes from two classes those who want him elected governor and those who want to sea how he will run. Mr. Allen does not state to which class he belongs, but It la suspected that when Mr. Stubbs gets well started the Wich ita Beacon won't be -on the coaching Uses. A COMPARISON. The progress that has been made on these western prairie3 of ours is em phasized by a brief Item In the Jewell Republican. Judge J. C. Postlethwaite, of that town, has recently purchased for himself a new touring car, and he took the editor of the Republican out to help him "break It in." "The Judge," comments the editor, "former ly drove a yoke of oxen in Jewell county when he went anywhere." From oxen to automobile is typical of the advancement Kansas has made in a comparatively few years. But there are other things that are typical, too. In the oxen days, which were only the yesterdays of that region, many, if not most, of the settlers of Jewell county lived in sod houses with sod roofs, and some of them with sod floors. Now it is different. During the automobile ride made by Judge Postlethwaite and the editor of the Republican, they stopped at the home of C. A. Shinn. a Jewell county farmer. Mr. Shinn is one of the pro gressive) sort of farmers. He was in strumental in securing the first rural delivery mail route and also in build ing the first farmers telephone line in that section of the state. That was less than a decade ago, yet now every farmer in the county receives his mall at his door, while a large per cent of the farm homes have telephones and are connected with all the surrounding towns. Nor is that all. "Mr. Shinn," says the editor, "also has a complete elec tric lighting system for his house and barn; his kitchen range is run with fuel oil which' costs only half as much as coal. He can have a low fire, or a roaring hot fire, or no fire at all, the change from one to the other being made as quickly as you can turn on or shut off the oil. Mr. Shinn has hot and cold water, hard and soft water on tap in his house. There is a fine piano in the parlor and his center table is crowded with the latest maga zines and papers. He has a govern ment barometer and rain gauge, and many other things you would not ex pect to find on a Kansas farm. Among other things that attract attention of the passersby is a flock of gay pea cocks." From oxen to automobiles; from sod houses to modern homes, with their own electric systems, hot and cold water, pianos, and all modern com forts these things spell the progress of the Kansas prairies in three decades. "WHY? The spectacle of the richest man in the world coming into court like the humblest citizen of the land makes an excellent subject for sentimental moralizing, anyway. Wichita Beacon. But the spectacle of the richest man In the world dodging court officers like the humblest sneak thief in the land, makes just as excellent a subject for a few plain comments. Why should not the richest man in the world scome into court like the humblest citizen? It is the court that protects him and enables him to hold the property that makes him the rich est man in the world. It is the Law, which the court embodies, that keeps humbler individuals from plundering the richest man in the world. Why, then, should not the richest man in the world respect the court and respond to its orders, rather than try to dodge them? Why should he not obey the Law that protects him. rather than over ride it in his avaricious greed to pile up still more wealth? FOR OUR NATIONAL FLOWER, Professor Willet M. Hayes, the ex tremely capable assistant secretary of the United States department of agri culture, has nominated the corn tassel for adoption as our "national flower," and among those who wish the floor n order to second the nomination is the Washington Post. "There are a dozen reason," asserts the Post, "why the tassel should be chosen, to one in favor of any other candidate. A million happy jaws will suspend their attack upon steaming cobs and shout for the plumy tassel. Thousands of spoons will suspend above breakfast dishes while shrill cries arise In celebration of the na tional food. Regiments and brigades will rally to the support of any move ment that has for its object the glori fication of hoecake, pone, hominy, and all other blessings derived from com. The sadness of those mournful words It might have been' is infinitely more pathetic when the phrase I3 applied to good old Uncle Ned: He had no teeth for to eat the corncake, So he had to let the corncake go.' "The poet rightly perceived in Its exquisite pathos the Isolation of Uncle Ned. In this couplet the singer sounds the utter depths of woe. The words haunt every true American, and will haunt him till he dies. May all honest men be spared the fate of old Uncle Ned! 'One of the chief reasons why the world should honor the memory of Christopher Columbus is the fact that corn Is a native of the land he discov ered. Some of the results of Colum bus haphazard western tour have not been particularly praiseworthy, but they are more than offset by the gift of corn. Considered from any stand point utilitarian, esthetic,- financial, artistic, poetic, or any other corn meets all requirements. It is useful. moral, profitable, beautiful, and good. Tho Indian, deemed it a gift of his God, and he was not wrong. Nothing about corn is useless. The stalk will become valuable for paper.' if it 4s not already so. The kernel feeds the world. The cob keeps countless prai rie homes warm. The tassel, graceful daughter of the tall and bannered army of the field. Is peculiarly the em blem of fruitfulness, peace, and hap piness. If it were necessary that a national flower' should be formally chosen, the corn tassel would run away ahead of the ticket. But such a course Is not necessary. Corn is King, and his daughter takes her proper place by divine right." "When the people of the. United State get to thinking they are the whole thicgr, says a Kansas exchange, "they should remember the fact that Great Britain owns more land in North America than- the United State But 10,000 square miles of some of it isn't worth as much as a garden patch in Kansas. There is the Labrador coast, and the barren lands west and northwest of Hudson's Bay, for in stance. A Michigan clergyman has attacked the Teddy bear on the ground that it "destroys the instinct of motherhood." Isn't the Michigan man hard up for wmeiiung 10 attacK Kissing games are to be tabooed in the Philadelphia public schools. And yet educators claim they are trying to make our public school system more attractive. Having observed how ruthlesslv h piucks mem out wnen occasion de mands, this department fears that Governor Hoch's faur weeks ori the lecture platform is liable to be pretty lougn on tne nowers in the conserva tory of his soul. This department is glad to note that another electric line is to be built be tween Arkansas City and Winfleld. Almost as many electric lines are built between those points as are laid be tween Topeka and Kansas City, but everybody continues to ride on the steam cars, just the same. We trust Japan will give San Fran cisco due credit for sending Schmitz to prison for five years. G JAYHAWKER JOTS In some Kansas towns the legend which the bricks In the sidewalk tell, reads: "Made in Coffeyvllle." In Mc Pherson the bricks say, -"Don't Spit on the Sidewalks." A girl of 15 eloped from Nemaha coun ty but claimed to be of marriageable age by the time she reached Kansas City. Bert Walker has a theory that she went on the Central Branch. Now that Rev. John A. Bright has gona to preaching out in Gove county, the Osborne Farmer believes he will have to change, "Throw Out the Life Line," to, "Throw Open the Cyclone Cellar Door." "We are not much worried," says Roy Tapley, "about whether the president was served with cocktails at Vice Pres ident Fairbank's house. What we would like to know is, who got the cherry?" Now what business has a good Metho dist like Roy Tapley got to know any thing about such a subject as that? Tom Mciveal has ideas of his own about umpires as well as about how to figure a saving to the state on its print ing, "our notion of a proper umpire,' he says, "is one who is in perfect health. whose fighting weight is about 200, who is handy with his dukes and can strike not less than 900 pounds. We have heard of such an umpire but he may be the creature of the imagination of the'per son who informed us. We do not re member now Just what league he was playing with. He was a new man with the indicator so far as that league was concerned. There was a slight Hibernian accent in his speech and he carried a cold gray eye. He didn't look so very big but it was noticed by the close ob servers that he was well set up and was easy on his feet. The umpire who had preceded him had been mobbed by the fans and slugged by one of the players whom he had ordered to the bench. The game had only got fairly started when a strike was called on the batter for the home team. The captain encouraged by the yells of the fans rushed up to protest. The fist of the umpire swung easy and free and caught the captain at tne Dutt or tne lert ear. By the time he had waked from his dreamless sleep the side was out and the other side was at bat. The pitcher whirled round on his right heel, tied himself into a knot and let the ball go. Wan ball,' said the umpire with the Hibernian accent. The pitcher twisttd himself again and let It go. "Two balls,' said the umpire. The pitcher growled, twisted himself into a spiral and let the ball go again. 'Thra balls,' said the umpire. The pitcher let out an audible roar but went into another contortion and sent the ball again. 'Four balls said the umpire. The pitcher dashed up to the umpire with. 'You're a 1 ne umpire landed with neatness and great accuracv on the point or tne pitcner s chin and he sank down in instant but profound slumber. "Put in another Ditcher an' don't delay the game." called the umpire. Four enthusiastic fans jumped over the fence in front of the errand stand and started tor tne umpire, He shed his mask and shield with easy grace and within a minute naa put an four of them out of business for the tlTTIA heine. Some other fans had start ed to follow but concluded that they could see as well from tneir seats m tne stand. 'Play ball, called the umpire and the game proceeded. There were no more arguments with the umpire that day." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Too many touches will harden the easv mark. Even the milk of human kindness isn't always adulterated. There's either too much rain or not enough to suit the farmer. When It comes to rapid transit a train of thought sets the pace. Marriage isn't always a failure; there Is usually a fighting chance. Early to bed and early to rise gives the average man's wife a surprise. Did you ever know a man to practice half the things he preaches to his boy? A promoter is a man who makes a strenuous effort to boost his own in terests. It's useless to try to establish uni versal peace as long as people will get married. When a man Is compelled to eat his words he finds it difficult to swallow his Indignation. It takes a woman to pick a quarrel with a neighbor and shift the conse quences to her husband's shoulders. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. A man has a good temper when he only thinks his swear words. A widow is awful clever to want men to teach her things she knows better than they do. When a woman wants to get married because she has no illustions about it she's a widow. There Is hardly anything so exciting to a girl as to wonder if the man in thJ seat in front of her in a railway car has light or dark eyes. If a woman could use canceled post age stamps over again for some sort -of preserves she would think she was the best housekeeper In the world. JOURNAL ENTRIES i KANSAS COMMENT AN AVERAGE YIELD. wnen a man speaks of the "aver age" wheat yield in Clav county, it means little or much as a rule, de pending on speaker and listener. As a matter of fact, in twenty harvests last past Clay saved 11,460,852 bush els, inis was raised on 780,011 acres. uiviaing acreage by yield gives so close to 14.7 that.it is safe to say that it is the average Clay county product. Whenever the word average is used 14.7 should be understood here in Clay. Above or below is abnormal. The man who raises 25 bushels to the acre is as far out of line, speaking raamemaucauy, and speaking in full understanding of the inexorable law of averages, as is the man who raises 4. Clay is going to harvest very nearly an average crop in the year of -our Lord 190 7: His name be praised. -lay center rimes. m STATE'S EVIDENCE.

Cohn has fieured out what the advance of one cent a spool on cotton tnreaa, recently ordered by the thread trust, will cost Lawrence housewives. He figured that there are 5,000 fami lies in and immediately adjacent to Lawrence, using an average of one spool of cotton, a week. That makes 5,000 cents, or $50 extra toll to the trust every week. The annual toll Is, in round figures, '$2,500 Just what It costs to maintain the city library for one year. And yet there are people in Lawrence who say they are not af fected by the trusts '-Lawrence World. ANOTHERREASON. Topeka booze sales reported by the .drug stores were only about 20,000 in June as compared to 21,000 in May. The State Journal thinks this is due to the fact that June has one day less than May. It may also be partly due to June having five Sundays wliile May had but four, although the drug stores of Topeka pay mighty little at tention to the Sabbath. Lawrence World. MEANS AUTOMOBILES.

FROM OTHER PENS FRANCIS MURPHY. Francis Murphy loved his fellow men! Better even than Ben Adhem. Francis Murphy devoted the best years of his long life, all of his vast energies and great talents, and poured out all of his God-given love for humanity in noble and unselfish efforts to help his fellow men. Who then shall doubt that in the quiet 01 mat yester sabbath morn, when ap peared the angel with the book of gold, wherein were writ the names of those whom love of God had blessed, that F rancis Murpny's name led all the rest. Francis Murphy is dead, but his good deeds will live forever. He was not only a great man,, but one of the most successful that ever lived. True, he conquered no provinces, ha dragged no captives bound to his chariot wheels, he rounded no cities, he amassed no for tune, and in a purely material way he engaged m no great work. He came Into the world poor and so far as earth ly goods are concerned he left in the same way. But Francis Murphy was rich in God-s love, and of this greatest of all treas ures he poured out in abundance and unstinted measure upon all of God's creatures. He never came in contact with a fellow man but to bless and help. No man ever clasped the hand of Fran cis Murphy but he was benefited and made better by so doing. Francis Murphy- was not great alone as the most illustrious apostle of tem perance which the century has produced. it was his boundless love for humanity, the infinite love of God, radiating through him upon his fellow men. bless ing them, lifting them up and ennobling them that made Francis Murphy great. While Francis Murphy has gone to receive the reward for his good works his loving spirit and kindly deeds still abide as an inspiration to those who are left behind. No greater epitaph can be written than that the world is better for Francis Murphy having lived In it. Los Angeles Express. HOKE SMITH'S PROGRAM. Hoke Smith's defense of his disfran chisement plan is of the characteristic shallowness that marks the man who Is deliberately sinning against the light. Not the slightest harm has come to Georgia or is coming because negroes vote there today, but they are to be tax ed without representation and governed without a voice In their government hereafter, as soon as the legislature can bring this about.

Old Jacob Weatherly Is a man of ex treme regularity, and, on the principle that "Early to bed," sec. is the. best guiding rule lor a household, he in sists that every one unler his roof and authority shall retire at 9:30.

"Yes," remonstrated tho youth; "but I'm gone 21 now, and can do as I please." "Quite so," said the old man; "tut so can I." And the window went down with a bang, and Charles was left to faca the dark fact that 21 worked two ways. Philadelphia Record. Facilities for a Bath. Henry James, the novelist, arrived at 10 o'clock one night at a Florida hotel, and could get nothing to eat. The hotel was magnificent and expen sive, but its rule was not to serve food after a certain hour, and in conse quence Mr. James went hungry to bed. Discussing his hardship afterwards, he said: "I felt, indeed, like the tenderfoot who visited an Arkansas hotel back in the 70's. It was a primitive hotel, and the guest, on his arrival, said to the landlord tentatively: 'Landlord, I'd like a bath.' 'All right," was the reply. "And the landlord went out, return ing in ten minutes with a tin can of soft soap, a towel, a pick and a shovel, "The eastern guest took up the -can of soft soap and the towel, but at the pick and shovel he If oked askance. 'What are these for?' he said. 'Wall, stranger, said the landlord, 'the water's low, an" ye'll hev to dam up tho creek.' All Reserved. Frank P. Sargent, the United States commissioner of immigration,- said one day in Washington: "There is fine stuff In some of these poor people who come to our shores. I heard recently of a young Swedish wo man. Brave, witty and honorable, she should bring splendid young Americans into the world. A short time after she arrived among us, her husband got out of work. Naturally, then, the rent fell behind. The land lord called for it one day in her husband's absence. He lis tened to the young woman's tale of mis fortune, regarding the while her yellow hair, her clear blue eyes, her red mouth and white teeth. Suddenly, bending toward her, he said: Give us a kiss!' She drew back, and her blue eyes, as cold as Ice, dwelt on him disdainfully. No.' Bhe said, my husband and I may be too poor to pay our rent, but we are not so poor that we can't do our own kissing." A Scienetific Opinion. There is a certain cooking school In the loop district where every day In the wek large classes of girls convene for Instruction in th gntle art of raising the dough. Last wek a class of thirty rather im practical girls, as most of them are, was studying the doughnut scientifically. One of the dullest pupils in the class who never could learn to boil water without burning it, was rather inatten tive while sthe teacher was lecturing on "sinkers. Thinking to catch her and administer a rebuke on hery intention, the teacher suddenly brake off and asked: "Miss Smith, what is the healthiest part of the doughnut?" Miss Smith straightened up. nusneo up, stood up and replied: "Why why, the hole, I believe." Chicago Record Herald. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The doctor usually speaks ill of his patients. News is not always as yellow as It Is printed Children's night-dresses are often bawl gowns. Disagreeable people don't always live In the cross streets. When business is good the clock maker puts on more hands. Bur?lars are not the only people who take things for granted. A man's dollars don't always make up. for his lack of common sense. There are lots of things besides hap piness that money won't buy manners, for Instance. Hoax "How did he get that scar Joax "In a boiler explosion." Hoax A mark of esteem, eh? No, Mamie, dear; the fellow with an impediment in his speech shouldn't go to a speak-easy to be cured. Blobbs "That temperance lecturer says he used to be a prize-fighter." Slobbs "Ah! an ex-pounder, eh?" vigg "He marriel her for her mon ey, and she does nothing but Jaw him." vagg "Well, I dare say he has found out that money tf Iks." Blobbs "I never know how to take that fellow Borem." Slobbs "Well, It's a pretty good plan, to take him like a bottle of medicine shake before tak ing." THE EVENING STORY Appearances to the Contrary, (By Cecilia A. Loizeaux.) Mrs. Holton entered her sister Susan's room, and, sinking into the nearest chair, undid her collar. This was preparatory to the rite, sacred in Mllltown, of dressing for the after noon. Susan, who, notwithstanding tne xact mat she had just returned from an art school and did not deny being artistic, refused to be called Suzanne, was doing something to her face, with the aid of a hand glass and many unoecoming grimaces. "What are you going to wear this afternoon?" inquired Mrs. Holton in an elaborately careless voice. Nothing that Is, I'm going to wash my hair, since there is not place in this metropolis where I can nave 11 wastiett for me." "But, Susie! Not In the afternoon! There will surely be callers." Just say I'm not at home, and don't bother,'' said Susan, drawing out her hair pins and letting her red hair down over her yellow and brown and tan kimono. "You forgot that you are not In New York," said her sister sharply. "Do try to forget that you have been to art school and be decent to people. 'Not at home' won't go here. Every one in this village knows that you are at home, for you couldn't possibly get avay without some one seeing you go. And, anyway, I asked that Mr. Bates over to call on you." "Kind -of you! What Mr. Bates?" asked Susan, dropping her comb and stooping to pick it up. "Mrs. Barton's nephew. He's from the east somewhere, and he has the nicest manners. I thought maybe you'd like to have some one come who is a little more like the men you are used to," she added. "I would!" said Susan. emphatically. "And it was nice of you to think of it. Perhaps he'll come late In the after noon and my hair will be all dry. I'll hurry." And she ran down the hall and slammed the bathroom door after her. "There's something familiar about the name," she said to her face in the glasa while the water was running. "And and I don't particularly want to see any more of the Bates clan but if Bessie should find that out, she'd never let me forget it. So I'll see her Mr. Bates and try to get in terested In this place." She played croquet with her little niece while her hair dried, and the lat ter half of the game brought her into full view of the street. She got down on her knees and bumped the gaudy ball with car and precision against the little post, and while she knelt a young man walked up the straight walk to the front door. And so it happened that three min utes later as she entered the sitting room with her glowing, wind-blown hair and flushed face, she was Just in time to hear her sister's "company voice" say: "Come right out into tne sitting room, Mr. Bates, It s so much cooler there." She gained the stair closet Just In time and softly pulled the door shut after her. And then, safely hidden, she called herself a goose. "Why didn't you go back out into the yard and reach your room by the ladder? No one but Bessie would live In a house that has no back stairs." She hoped the caller would not stay long, but she knew there was no tell ing what false hopes her sister would hold out to the young man to keep him until Susan should appear. She did not know that Susan was in the closet, and if she had known it, she would not have known how to get her out of it. "But if she had one grain of sense, which unfortunately she has not, or she'd not be trying to make a match for me, she d know that I, presumably in the back yard, could not get to my room In any way save through the place where they are sitting." The closet was small, airless, dusty and full of odds and ends. Susan hardly dared move for fear of knock ing somethng down. Not that I care for being discover ed," she reasoned, "for that would serve them both right, but I do not care to bring Jim's golf sticks or In dian clubs down on my defenseless head. I'm not much .of a club wo man." She searched cautiously for a keyhole and found none. Of course, not, she muttered, dis gustedly. "I am denied even the small comfort of watching the dismay on Bessie's face as I fail to appear. So I must think upon my sins and be pa tient, I presume. She sank back on her heels and mopped her hot face with one c6rner of her kimono. "I hope' It doesn't fade," she thought. Presently she rested her forehead on her knees and forgot time and place. and heat and discomfort. Her thoughts were busy. I suppose he and Maude Forman are married by this time. I wish I knew how that happened. He alwavs said ne Old not care ror ner baby kind of prettiness. It must have been her talent. No one can deny that she had the rest of us beaten. 'all hollow. That little characterless, baby-faced thing could paint Detter man uan himself." "Maude knows how I feel about it and so does he. That's what hurts the worst. I could not help showing It that last day. And she there was such tri umph in her silly face when-she came out of the studio, ana we knew she had got the prize. She looked at me, and then she walked straight up to Dan and they forgot I was- there. Oh, the humiliation of It! And then old Car ton had to cap the climax by telling me tnat 1 never wouia mane an artist. I. knew it well enough. All I wanted was If he'd only stopped there instead of telling me that I should be married. 'I have seen that you are in love. Miss Susan, and I advise you to marry the good man and help him make a career.' "He wasn't so smart as he thought he was or he'd have seen that Maude wasn't content with getting the paint ing prize she had to take everything, even Forgetting where she was, she sprang to her feet, bumpirlg her head against a pile of empty boxes which fell with a deafening -clatter. Then the door was flung open and some one seized her arm and drew her gently out into the sitting room. Susan gave one glance at her sister's horrified face, and then laughed helplessly. It was fottunate that she could not see her own face, which was stained in an elaborate pattern from the kimono. "I was hunting for my comb" she began and stopped, for the man, whose face she had not yet seen, came around in front of her. "Did you find it?" he asked. Susan turned white and then red, and white again before she said a word. And when her lips finally opened they ut tered the one thing she could have bit ten her tongue out for saying. "Where Is Maude?" "Maude? Oh, she's safely married and on a wedding trip. Whatever made you run away that day when Old. Car ton told Maude she had won the prize? We hunted for you to tell you, but you were gone." ."I didn't need to be told; I aaw." she said, and then grew white again. "But why If you are married whj Isn't Maude here, too?" "Maude?" Suddenly the man gave a shout. "Do you mean that you think I am married to Maude? That's a good one. She is my slster-ln-law now. hSe was engaged to Fred for five years, and they never had money enoueh to marry on till she got that cash prize. That was why she worked so hard to get it." Susan began to back toward the stairway. She felt It was time to escape. "No you don't," said the man, and he caught one corner of the kimono and held her. "I'm not dressed," she murmured. "So I perceive." he answered. "But wsa that the reason you ran away because you thought Maude "Old Carton told me I'd never make an artist!" she evaded. "Did he? The brute! But that waa no reason for running away from me. What else did he say?" "He said I had better get married." said Susan. "And that was why I ran away." As she had hoped ne wouia, ine man dropped the kimono In his amazement, and she darted up tne stairs, leaving him looking after her with fear In his eyes. "Susan tell me She leaned over the banisters and smiled at him. "But of course I can 1 get married until some one asks me," she said, and before he could get to her the door of her room had slam med.

Tf vou want to ehar a lot of reasons. talk to the man who was discharged. When a man Is on time himself, he usually finds that the other man Is late. Nearly everyone notices that other people take very poor care of their health. At everv succeeding Fourth of July celebration there are fewer flags and more noise. How we men are abused: And we deserve a good deal of it, dog gone our fool pictures. There are all kinds of women except one who won't become enthusiastic over a baby. An Atchison woman was too fat, so she bought a corset that cost $7.80 and now has a fairy form. We have noticed this on the Fourth of July: the bigger the boy, the bigger the firecracker he uses. The average man Is always a little surprised to hear of anyone making a success in the show business. At a concert, how long the bad selec tions are! And how the rival musicians keep their noises In the air! When a man wears a union suit, he is as sure to mention It as when he takes a cold bath every morning. The farmer who milks a good many cows believs the acme of shlftlessness Is allowing the calves to perform this chore. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who hung up a branch of asparagus in her house for the flies to light on? How "set" old people are In their ways! If an elderly person should be asked to change his seat at the table, how it would rattle him! A harvest hand in town yesterday was telling how they work. "We work nine hour shifts." he said, "and, everybody works two shifts a day." When we were a boy, we shot off all our firecrackers by 9 o'clock In th morning, and spent the rest of the day in watching the rich boys snoot off theirs. Some years a linen suit grows longer at the legs and arms every time It ia washed; and some years It grows short er at the arms and legs every time It Is washed. When a married man goes anywhere without his wife, people ask him: "Where Is your wife?" When a farmer comes to town during the wheat harvest. people ask him: "What are you doing in town?" None of us seem to properly appreci ate the fact that others despise what we are fond of. When a man belongs to a lodge, what contempt he has for a man who doesn't belong! And how foolish his contempt is! It is a fool trick for a boy to come home from school wearing his uniform. But many boys do It; there are so many fool tricks that boys can't avoid all of them. A college boy showed up at For est park yesterday wearing his college uniform. The pants were too long, and the clothes didn't fit him anywhere, and wherever he went, he was guyed. Still, that boy had thought, and thought, and thought, and concluded he would create a sensation by wearing his college uni form. He did create a sensation, but it wasn't the kind he expected.

Maunsell's will, dispos ing of an estate of an estimated value -f more than Siz.ouu. was mea tor robate Tuesday afternoon with II. tr. Havden. judge of the probate court. Under the terms of the will all of the property of the deceased is to be held in trust for the benefit of the testator's four surviving' children. Mr. Maunsell was superintendent of the Topeka Edison company for some time and when he was taken ill with the sickness that resulted in his death he was organizing the Topeka Elec trical company, which proposed to enter the lists in the electric lighting business in the city with the Edison company. Mr. Maunsell's wife died a few months before he did. i There are four surviving children, Charles J., seventeen years old who lives in Topeka; Burton R., fifteen years old. who lives in Chicago; Ber nard Sunny, seven years old, and Gladys Louise, two years old, who are living with relatives at Los Angeles, Cal. The will filed for probate was drawn by Mr. Maunsell on December 30, 1906, and was witnessed by Mrs. Julia W. Greenlee and Albert H. Purdy. The first clause of the will bequeathed all of the property left by the testator to his wife, Angelina Maunsell, to be used and disposed of by her for the benefit of tho children. She was named as executrix of the estate and guardian of the children. Because of her d-?ath Judge Hayden appointed J. W. O'Neill, of this city, as adminis trator of the estate. Provision was made in the will that In the event of Mrs. Maunsell's death, the property was to be held in trust for the benefit of the children by George P. Johnson, a brother-in-law of the deceased, and a resident of Baltimore. Maryland. In the event of Mr. Johnson's death or his refusal to act as trustee for the children, and also their guardian, the will provided that these duties should be assumed by C. L. Wakefield, an other brother-in-law of the deceased, whose home is in Dallas, Tex. Mr. Johnson will undertake the duties Imposed by the will and he filed it for probate. He estimates the estate left by Mr. Maunsell as being valued at $2,500 in real, and $10,000 in per sonal property. JENSEN COMPANY TO BCIIX. Will Put Second Story on Building- Business Is Prosperous.

After several years vacation, Frank Stahl, former chief of police, will this afternoon play a return engagement at the city prison. The occasion is a result of a case in court, wherein Stahl beat the jointist at his own' game: While chler or ponce air. stani raided the Miller joint at 115 East Sixth street. capturing. beside the keeper, about a wagon load of beer, bars and fixtures of all sorts. Miller, through his attorneys, replevined the goods and took them away. Since that time they have been1 stored in a basement in North Topeka, awaiting the outcome of the trial of the re plevin suit. Not until this last term of court did the case reach daylight, and then the court decided that the goods were contraband and the alleged own ers must return them to the officer who made the capture. This morning a dray drove up to the police station, accompanied by an attorney, who asked permission to store the relic of Stahldora in the back yard. He had a letter from Mr. Stahl, saying that he would be in town this afternoon to put the finishing touches to the Junk, which consists of three cases of beer, some whisky, several kegs of beer and three bars. The beer is all spoiled by old age, but the assortment tallied exactly with Mr. Stahl's original list of the goods cap tured even to half a dozen dirty towels. For an hour this afternoon Mr. Stahl will participate in the sport at which he was an adept in the good old days when he was chief of police and something was doing every minute.

STOP THE PRACTICE. Will Reform Slipshod Methods of Charging "Extras". Prof. Harshbarger's Work cf Checking Up Nearly Complete. Suit will be filed today in the district court by F. G. Drenning, city attorney, against Hanley Ritchie, paving con tractors, to recover $650 which it is claimed is the amount of overcharge for paving street intersections. The suit will be filed on the grounds that the bills for the work, even if at all done, were not properly presented and should not have been paid by the city. The $650 covers work done during the year 1906 and does not go back of that year. Other suits may be filed to take in the paving done during the year 1905, but this has not been fully de termined upon. No investigations will be made of the paving back of 1905. The city attorney claims that the $650 which the contractors claimed for extra work performed in repairing intersec tions which were damaged either by the passage over them of a heavy sewer excavating machine or by the cavein of a sewer should have not have been charged in simply as paving. The vari ous amounts should have been present ed in detail and the kind of the work specified and the bills then presented to the mayor and the claims and ac counts committee for auditing and fin ally to the council. Instead, it is said, that these extra charges were included in the sum total of paving and returned by James Mc Cabe, former city engineer, in his monthly estimates to the city council. The council allowed the claims, believ ing that it was simply the regular pav ing contracted for since the estimate did not show on its face that it in cluded special or extra work. "I am going to see whether I can't put a stop to such a practice." said Drenning. "I am going to see if a city engineer can act for the mayor and council. Unless the attorneys for the contractors can catch us on some tech nicality I don't see how we can help winning this suit. It is a suit to re cover money. That's all there is to it. "The books show that there was a certain amount of paving done, and a certain amount of paving was contract ed for. The city paid for this paving but in addition the city engineer cov ered in a lot of extras that the council knew nothing about in his estimate for their regular paving work. This extra work was probably done but the bills for the work should have been present ed separately and passed on by the council. "We have dug up one bill for work which was filed by Hanley Ritchie with the city engineer for extra work. The bill bears the date of November, 1906, but no one in the council saw the bill and it doesn't show that it was ever filed with the city clerk or with the council. The bill was paid, how ever. "If I do nothing else -except show them that this sort of thing can't be done in the future, I will have accom plished something. But I believe we can get this money back. "There isn t much to be got out or the paving in 1905. It seems that every thing was straight enough but the plats show some little inaccuracies which would account for anything we might find in that year. At least we can t find anything satisfactory enough to make it stick in the courts. W. A.

He is now employed on measur-' ing the West Twelfth street paving which was put down in 1905. The items on which the suit will be brought fol lows: Lane street, 151.54 square yards, pav ing at $1.22; Western avenue. 163.43 square yards of paving, at $1.22; Jef ferson street, 136.9 square yards of pav ing at $1.22; 56 square yards of paving on West Eighth avenue at $1.22; 80 lineal feet of curbing on Lane street at 37.9 cents per lineal foot. Total value, $6'9.92. The firm of Hanley Ritchie has now dissolved partnership. Hanley has formed a construction company with headquarters at Salt Lake City, Utah, while John Ritchie is in the contract ing business by himself. He still main tains his headquarters in Topeka. Both of the men mentioned are out of the city. The law with which the city attorney will bolster up his suit is contained in the city charter act and provides that: "All claims against the city must be presented in writing, with a full ac count of the items, and verified by oath of the claimant or his agent that the same Is correct, reasonable and just, and no claim or demand Bhall be audi ted or allowed unless presented and verified as provided in this section." EQUAL OF UNCLE SAM. Harriman Assumes That He Can Com pete With Government. New Tork, July 10. According to the Sun today J. W. Jungen. manager of the operating department of the Southern Pacific's Atlantic coast lines, during the luncheon on the company's new steamer Creole yesterday in discussing the dis patch of coal by the government to the Pacific In foreign ships, and speaking, it was stated, for E. H. Harriman, said: "The bars are down. If the United States government has a right to char ter foreign bottoms to carry coal to the Pacific coast there is no reason why the Southern Pacific should not do likewise. I am going to send coal to San Fran cisco in foreign bottoms." Rear Admiral Bowles and others pres ent at the luncheon pointed out that Mr. Harriman would not be permitted to do the thing he contemplated because of the navigation laws of the United States. Another report of the talk of Mr. Harriman had it that he said that he "did not pee why" the Southern Pacific should not compete with the govern ment and carry coal in foreign bot toms. BICYCLE THIEF IS ARRESTED. Stole a Fifty Dollar Wheel and Sold It lor Three Dollars A bicycle thief is loose In Topeka and Sheriff Wilkerson and his deputies are bending their energies to catch him.

Burlington Will Make the Rate on All Its Lines. Omaha, Neb., July 10. Assistant General Passenger Agent Bucking ham of the Burlington railway today announced that within 10 days the Burlington would put in operation a two cent fare schedule between all points on that system, regardless of whether or not the different states have passed a two cent fare bill. The Burlington traverses Wyoming. Mon tana, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota. Clerks are now working on the new schedule and the rate will be placed in opera tion just as quickly as the tariff is completed. The action of the Burlington will undoubtedly cause other roads in the same territory to follow suit. NEW DISEASE IN CATTLE. John B. Baker. Live Stock Inspector, Discovers One. John B. Baker, of Peabody, state live stock inspector, announces the discovery of a new and unnamed disease among the cattle at Culver, in Ottawa county, about ten miles west of Salina. One herd of sixty cattle has been placed in quarantine, and the state veterinarian is watching them. The cattle have been in quarantine for a number of weeks, and the authorities have not yet decided what to call the disease. "In some ways," says Mr. Baker, "the disease is like anthrax, but it does not answer all the descriptions of that dis ease. We don't know Just what it is. It seems to be unlike any other disease ever observed In cattle." WORLD RECORD BROKEN. Savings Deposits In Bowery Bank Reach $100,000,000. New Tork, July 10. At close of busi ness yesterday the deposits in the Bow ery Savings bank reached a total of $100,000,000, a showing, it was said, un precedented in the history of savings banks, and one never before attained by any savings institution in the world. President Wood stated that the enor mous increase in deposits in savings banks indicated in the most gratifying manner the continuance of the great national prosperity. A noticeable feature commented upon by savings bank officials is the influx of deposits from remote sections of the country, where savings banks have been almost unknown, mainly because there was no need of them, indicating that even the small hamlets are getting their share of prosperity.

Burerlars are airaln around in North Topeka and for the third time within a week houses on the east Fide of Kansas avenue have been entered. Last night the home of John Reedy on the southwest corner of Monroe and Laurent street was visited as was also the J. K. Saunders house on Lau rent street lust west of the Reedy home. At the Reedy place nothing was taken, but a sum of money was overlooked. The Saunders family did not fare so 'well for there the bur glars secured about $29.00 in cash, Mr. Saunders' watch and some cigars. Entrance at both places was made by cutting away the screens. The rob bery is evidently the work of ama teurs. Mrs. Annie Selbert. 57 years of age, and a resident of 815 Monroe street, North Topeka. has written the State Journal as follows: "Four weeks ago I was rapidly bleeding to death from a diseased limb from which I have suffered for over forty years. Friends called Drs. Otto Kiene and William F. Bowen, who took charge of the case, and I was taken to Christ's hospital, and three days later the limb was amputated at the hip Joint. In three weeks I was able to be returned: to my home, the wound has almost entirely healed and I feel that I am on the road to complete recovery. Consider ing that I was almost without Olooa in my veins and too weak to raise my head, the operation seems all the more wonderful and certainly speaks well for the surgeons in charge of the case. It seems to me that if one in my con dition could undergo such a severe operation that there is no need for any one to feel discouraged." At the Air Dome.

Bears the fggnatwe of At the meeting of the board of trus tees of Washburn college held Tuesday afternoon, a gift by Colonel T. W. Har rison of $5,000 was announced. This gift was made for the purpose of estab lishing a Divinity school at Washburn. Colonel Harrison announced that if the department is a success he would dupli cate the gift. This is the second gift which Mr. Harrison has made to the in stitution, his first one being a $7,000 law library. This second gift of Colonel T. W. Har rison means much more to religious Kansas than appears in the bare an- nouncemnt of the promised $5,000. In deed, this gift had better be reported as $10,000, because of the colonel's gen erous conditions. This new department in "Washburn will meet with instant recognition and success. The most insistent demand for several years on the part of the church es most closely behind Washburn has been for direct aid in furnishing minis ters for vacant fields. It is 500 miles to the nearest Congregational divinity school Chicago and nearly 700 to Ober- lin. It has long been evident to the superintendents of home missions in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri and Col orado, as well as Kansas that in some near future it would be absolutely nec essary to open a training school for home missionary preachers, and for Christian association workers. Colonel Harrison's timely gift has focussed this movement. No concern need be felt lest this new departure should fail. The serious public is war ranted in assuming that this is the be ginning of still larger things. Money can more easily be obtained from the churches for such work than on any oth er possible appeal. This movement is not sectarian. Washburn has the unique honor in Kan sas of being interdenominational in faculty, trustees and service. While this department will minister most directly to the Congregational church of the state, all its work will be catholic in the noblest sense, and from no young man or woman seeking instruction will any denominational test be demanded. A two years' coure will be announced immediately for the coming September. A dean will be elected and such Biblical, ethical and sociological instruction as is offered by Drs. Willm, Flsk and Clark will naturally re-enforce that work. A bequest of $2,700 from "Father Dilley," late of Partridge, has just been paid to aid young men in preparing for the ministry. Other gifts will follow. HOCH NAMES EMBALMERS Announces the Appointment of New Board. Governor Hoch today announced the appointment of the following members of the state embalming board: Joseph E. Johnson, Osawatomie. William H. Johnson, Hutchinson. George Southern, Manhattan. The members of this board will hold office for one, two and three eyars re spectively for their first term,.- and thereafter for three years each. The pay is $5 per day while on duty, with a limit of four days for each examina tion. The laws of 1907 created the state em balming board, whic:i will completely change the undertaking business in the S'tate of Kansas. After August 1, it is unlawful for anybody to go into the undertaking business or set up as an embalmer of dead bodies who does not first take an examination provided by the state board, and qualify to do em balming. Each undertaker who takes the examination is charged a fee of $10. and this fee goes' to pay the ex pense of the embalming board. It is provided that the state shall be at no expense for the work or the board. Each undertaker in the slate must pay a $2 fee annually for the renewal of his certincate. The law does not prevent any person ?rom simply engaging in the business of buiying people, and furnishing coffins and caskets tor burials. It applies only to these who embalm bodies, and any body can prepare for burial and bury a body not embalmed. Mrs. Mabel Wiscombe has brought a suit against her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Norris, to regain possession of the property known as lots No. 1012 and 1014 on West Twenty-second street in Quin ton Heights. This property was trans ferred or leased by Mrs. Wiscombe to her parents under a contract that they were to provide a home and properly care for Julia Blush, an eleven year old girl and who is a daughter of Mrs. Wis combe by a former marriage. When Mrs. Wiscombe was Mrs. Blush she secured a divorce from Mr. Blush and was granted a sum of money as alimony. One of the considerations in the award of alimony was that it was to be devoted to the support of the daugh ter Julia. With the major portion of this money Mrs. Wiscombe purchased the property in question. After the purchase of this property, according to the averments In the peti tion in the suit which was filed with the clerk of the district court today, Mrs. Wiscombe was not in a financial condition to properly care for herdaugh ter. Julia Blush. So she entered into a contract with her parents whereby she leased to them' the property in Quinton Heights with the understanding that they were to care for the child Julia, furnish her with suitable board; send her to school at proper times and fur nish her with all the necessaries of life, except clothings which Mrs. Wis combe agreed to provide. This contract was entered into be tween Mrs. Wiscombe and her par ents on October 6, 1905, and imme diately afterwards she left the city. She returned in December of the same year and declares in her petition in the suit that she found that her par ents had not been living up to their contract in that they had failed to Drooerlv care for the child. She states tnai iney uiu hoi xecy utri clean and on one occasion barred the door against her so that the child had to leave home and spend a nignt witn neighbors. She declares that the child was abused with whippings of an unmerciful character and that she was compelled to help with tne wasn ing and do other work too heavy for a child. Mrs. Wiscombe goes on in her com plaint to charge that her father, Mr. Ncrris. is addicted to the use of in toxicating liquors and that while he has been under the influence of them he has used improper language in the presence of the child. For these reasons' Mrs. Wiscombe elected to cancel the contract with her parents under one of Its terms which provided that it might be can celled by her if,, her parents did not treat the child .properly. They re fused to recognize her right to cancel the contract and so Mrs. Wiscombe has brought the suit In which she asks fo- an order from the court for a can cellation of the contract and also to give her the possession of the prop erty that is now held by her parents and which was purchased by her ali mony that she secured from Mr. Blush for the care and support of their child.

Padgett's Cars Damaged. WAS IT AX ELOPEMENT Aspen, Colo., Man in Great Hurry for Marriage License. What appeared to be a case of flopement attracted the attention of all the clerks in the probate court this afternoon. A couple appeared at the office of probate judge about 1:30 and asked for a marriage license. The man was 34 years old and seemed to be in a great rush. The bride-to-be was 25 years old and carried a very large bridal bouquet. Everyone was looking to see if the couple were to be married before they left the court house, but after giving their names as Mr. James Massie of Aspen, Colo., and Miss Frances Hamilton of Neosho Rapids, Kan., and obtaining the need ed document they disappeared from the office and walked rapidly toward Kansas avenue. Last night seems to have been open reason for auto accidents. Two cars were put out of commission during the evening. The first accident happened to G. Schmidt, tailor, who was roaming around in his Ford runabout. While passing through Shorey a telephone pole got. in the way in time to smasn the radiator, break the lamps, snap off the crank lever and otherwise wreck the little buzz-wagon. Accident number 2 was sustained by J. M. Padgett and his Smith spe cial. While crossing Kansas avenue at Fifth street he slowed up to let one car pass, without noticing that an other car was behind it, going in the same direction. He struck the track just as the car loomed up on his port quarter, and sprinted In an effort to beat it. The fender of the car con nected with the stern of the big auto, removing one tire, one ice box and one whrel fender. That machine is now in the hospital.

FAXTON PAXTGM Sixth and Quincy Streets V Delegations of County Clerks and At torneys Here. Delegations of county clerks and county attorneys are beginning to ar rive in town to appear before the state tax commission to protest against the size of their assessed valuation. They want the amount of the assessment re duced, and this is the business of the state tax commission, which will dis charge the duties of the state board of equalization. The regular time for the formal ses sion of the board of equalization is to day, the second Wednesday in July. However, not all the counties of the state have sent in their reports, and the formal session will not begin until Saturday. Nevertheless, the county officers are being heard today before the tax commission. Cherokee. Stevens. Finney and Mor ris counties were all represented to day. Stevens county Is represented by P. A. McCoy, who will be remembered as the crack halfback of the Kansas uni versity football team of 1905. McCoy Is now county attorney of Stevens county, and lives at Hugoton. which is 2 7 miles from the nearest railroad. "Hugoton is prospering, and so is Stevens county." said Mr. McCoy. "We have 1,600 people ..there now, com pared with 700 last year. Farm land is worth $10 per acre, and wheat is looking first class., Next fall there will be five or six times as much wheat sowed as was sowed last year. We have had about one rain every ten days so far. We have also had some bad hail storms. "I am not playing any football now. People out in the country seem to be afraid to play the game. They are afraid of getting hurt. Last winter I organized a basketball team, and had to be content with that. I am man ager of the Hugoton baseball team, and we played a series of games along the railroad the early part of the month. "William H. Thompson, the new dis trict judge in our district who former ly lived in Topeka. is making a very favorable impression out there with the lawyers. He seems to be well liked by everybody, and Is evidently making good. "I am here to ask the board of equalization to. reduce our assessed valuation somewhat for state taxes, as we think we are assessed higher than neighboring counties In proportion to our value." HANSOM PIGG IS RELEASED. His Bond for One Thousand Dollars Is Approved. Ransom Pigg. who has been in jail under a larceny charge for stealing $105 and a watch fob from his cousin, John Mcintosh, while the latter was visiting him, was released on bail yes terday afternoon. The bail was in the sum of $1,000 and John Heitman and his wife. George Warren, George Riesner, E. E. Rhoaf and Dan Finney aualified as sureties on the bond. With the release of Ransom Pigg on bail this makes the rather unusual oc currence of three brothers being out on bail at the same for a variety of criminal charges against them. Aaron T. Pigg, the eldest brother, is at large on a $2,000 bail bond un der a charge of attempting to bribe some of the jurors who found the other brother. Robert Pigg, guilty of violating the prohibitory law in the conduct of the notorious Canadian club. Robert Pigg is out on bail pending his appeal t$ the supreme court from his conviction in this case and also on other bail under the charge that he stole his original bail bond in the liquor case from the office of the clerk of the district court. The total amount of ball under which Bob Pigg is wandering around is $3,000. The aggregate bail under which the three men are held means that there are three Plggs in Topeka who -are held by the Shawnee county authori ties at a value at, $6,000.

Police Don't Seem to Worry About North Topeka Thieves. Burglars are continuing to ply their trade in North Topeka just about as they please and the residents there who have been victims have not many words of praise for the police force, or rather for that minute portion of it located in that part of the city. In fact what they have to say about the activities of the police in guarding their homes from burglary and their inactivities in hunting, for the burglars would hardly look well in cold, hard type. J. K. Sanders was picked out by the burglars for their victim last night. His home is at No. 226 East Laurent street. Almost in front of his door is an arc street light which burns when the moon is not shining and which was working at its trade last night. But light has no terrors for bur glars of North Topeka who are work in gthe homes there. One or more of them pried open a screen in a window of Mr. Sanders kitchen last night and went through the house and upstairs to the room where Mr. Sanders was sleeping. They went through his clothes and got $26 in money, a val uable gold watch, a $5 pipe and two cigars. They missed a pouch of smok ing tobacco. Mrs. Sanders discovered the fact that burglars had been in the house. When she was going down stairs early this morning she stepped qn Mr. San ders leather pocketbook and found his trousers in the hallway near the front door. She awakened her husband with the cry that burglars had been in the house. Mr. Sanders investigated and had no trouble in finding how they got in and of what they had relieved him. Mr. Sanders notified the police imme diately. About an hour after this no tification he says that a slim red-headed policeman sauntered up to the house and wanted to know if it was the one which had been robbed. On being in formed that it was he went his way. Mr. Sanders called up the police again and in another hour a couple of more officers came around and made per functory examination of the premises. Mr. Sanders told them that his watch had been cleaned v recently and that they could get the number and make of it from the jeweler. This would help the police to get the watch. They call ed him up by phone later and told him the Jeweler in question had told them that he did not know Mr. Sanders and had never cleaned a watch for him. At the noon hour, when Mr. Sanders could get away from his work, 'he vis ited the jeweler and had no trouble in getting the record of his watch. He took it around to police headquarteis and the police told ilm that they would watch, for a report .of the watch In the return of the pawnbrokers which are made each evening of the articles pawn ed with them. A suggestion was made by Mr. Sand ers that it might be a good plan for the police to go around to the pawn shops during the day and get the de scription of the man who pawned such a watch, if he did so, and then the thjef might possibly be run down. The police did not take kindly to this suggestion, at least they did not get busy on it. They told Mr. Sanders that they would get his watch all right if it had been pawned in this city. Mr. Sanders thought that they ought to find the burglar, if possible. He says that they did not give any evidence that they intended to do so but seemed to be content with the idea that they would recover the watch. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE jQtraff AIWBDHBSSA' B V BNlNGr, JULY 10, 1907. 8 T.10YERJS NEXT. Haywood Defense Will Complete Its Direct Testimony Probably by the Close of the Current Week. MORE THREATS SHOWN Further Testimony Regarding the Feeling of Orchard Toward Former Governor Steunenberg cf Idaho. Eoise. Idaho, July 10. With the ex ception of Charles H. Moyer. the presi dent and William D. Haywood, the secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, the defense in the Steunenberg murder trial will today close its cafe indirect. It is probable that the rest of the week will be taken up with the exami nation of Moyer and Haywood. The former goes on the stand today. Allen F. Gill of Spokane, Wash., for mer city engineer cf Spokane and once master mechanic of the Tiger and Poor man mine in the Coeur d'Alene district of Idaho, was called during an inter mission by the reading of depositions yesterday. Gill said that in March, 1899, Orchard had offered to tell to Gill his interest in the Hercules mine. The witness met Orchard and Jack Simp kins in Spokane in 1905, and talked with them on the street about the Her cules mine. "I told Orchard that my wife and myself felt unfortunate that he had never come around to close up that deal," said the witness. Orchard replied that he was hard up at the time he of fered hia interest for sale, but that he afterward sold out his wood business end Wad gone to work in the mines. He said that he ought to have his pock ets bulging with money and would have had it and would have been able to erect blocks of buildings as his part ners were doing if that Steunen berg had not driven him out of the country. He also spoke of Gardiner, the man to whom he sold his interest in the mine, and said: Dago' was having a good time spending the money that ought to be his." Simpklns Was There. Cross-examined by Borah, Gill said Eimpkins was a party to this interview; he knew both Orchard and Simpkins, quite well. This ended the taking of testimony for the day and Attorney Darrow went to work once more on the San Francisco depositions. One of the most Important deposi tions read during the afternoon was that of Peter W. Doyle, a foreman of carpenters, who had charge of the re pairs following the explosion. He de clared that not the slightest trace of lead was found anywhere in the wood work or debris. Asked his opinion as to where the force came from which caused the damage, he declared it seem ed to come from the direction of the Cummings apaitment where the gas pipes ran up the east wall. The reading of depositions was again Interrupted to permit the calling of Mrs. Allen F. Gill, wife of a preceding witness. She said she knew Orchard when he was in the wood business at Burke. Orchard offered to sell his in terest in the Hercules mine to her, she testified, in February. 1899. She con sulted her husband about the matter and he decided to make the purchase. Orchard did not return, however, and she did not see him again until the following March. Leak in the Meter. The deposition of C. A. Craemer, the contractor who repaired the Linforth fiats after the explosion, was read next. He gave an extended descrip tion of the building and the damage caused by the explosion. His descrip tions indicated that the explosion was caused bv gas. but on cross examina tion he said he could not tell whether gas or dynamite damaged the build ing. The affidavit of B. R. Lewis, a plumber, told of the discovery of gas leaks at the Linforth fiats and the ef forts to locate them before the explo sion. Lewis testified that he found a leak in a gas meter, and the meter was replaced by the gas company. F. A. Gilley, who had charge of the plumbing in the Linforth flats, con tributed the next deposition that was read. He described the discovery of the leaking meter, and told of its. re- mThe' last deposition was that of W. "A. Abernathy. a contractor, who testi fied that he met Harry Orchard at San Francisco in November. 1904. Or chard had been brought to the wit ness as a man with a silver-lead prop erty in Idaho, so the witness said. Orchard told Abernathy that if it had not been for Steunenberg, whom he called a vile name, he would have been a rich man. and that he intended to fix Steunenberg. Orchard offered to look up the silver-lead property in Idaho for 100. Court adjourned at 4 o clock until t:30 this morning. A DEMOCRATIC ORGAN". The Hutchinson Gazette May Be Made Into a Daily Paper. Hutchinson. July 10. It Is probable that a stock company will be formed mong about twenty of the well Known Democrats over Reno county, who will be associated with Harry A. Lill in the purchase of the Hutchin son Gazette, a semiweekly publication here. It is understood that Mr. Lill. who has worked on newspapers in St. Joseph, Mo., and other places, will hold the majority of the stock of the concern and have charge of the edi torial policy of the paper. If the pa per is bought of the Nettletons. the present owners, it is to be made Dem ocratic and be the official organ of Democracy in the county.

Burying a Number of "Workmen in the Ruins. Philadelphia. July 10. Six work men are believed to have been killed by the collapse of the Bridgeman Bros, building on Washington avenue, below Fifteenth street this afternoon. One body, that of John Marshall, has been taken from the debris and at least five others are in the ruins. At the time of the collapse about twenty five men were at work on the struct ure. The building was a reinforced con crete structure and when the east wall began to crumble, many of the workmen jumped and escaped with their lives. A number of others were carried down beneath the hundreds of tons of concrete and if they were not instant ly killed it is believed they can ont survive their injuries until the res cuers reach them. Scores of men are at work, endeavoring to reach the un fortunate workmen, but the work of rescue is necessarily slow because of the immense weight of the debris which must be removed. Concrete and huge girders are piled as high as the second story of the structure. Bridgeman Brothers are manufac turers of steam fitting supplies and were constructing an addition to their factory.

Continued from Page One.V ii i things have" been accomplished by means of the increasing power and forces of the combination and by ac quiring controlling interests In the stock of corporations thereafter operating without competition.' Many kinds -of unfair trade methods have been resort ed to, it-is said, -a favorite one being to cause a corporation secretly controll ed to advertise itself as -wholly inde pendent and free from association with trusts and combinations; to offer its goods below cost, to imitate competing brands, and in these ways to use the same for the destruction of real inde pendents. Takes In the World. After reciting the bitter trade be tween American English concerns the petition shows how the combinations in these countries, wearying of com petition in 1902, entered into, written agreements each not to interfere with the other along certain well defined lines and together forming the Im perial Tobacco company to. carry on the trade and commerce in other countries without competition. vThe i government declares that this di vision of the world has ever since been strictly observed and the three companies with their -allies and asso ciates have all been operated in har mony. An interesting chapter of the peti tion is devoted to" methods- of dis tribution of -s tobacco products. The American Tobacco company In 1901, the petition states, secretly- acquired control of the United Cigar Stores company, for a long time thereafter denied, and through it retail tobacco stores are established in the large cities which by reason of the power ful support and influence of the com bination, have quickly secured a dominating position in the trade and. are destroying competition.

Admiral Yamamoto Says Future De pends Much on the Newspapers. New York, July 10. "I think the friendly relations of long standing be tween the United States, and. Japan should be preserved and the passing storm disappear in the waters of the Pacific ocean. I firmly believe that this one incident can not be thrown In the way of the present relations between the two countries which began at. the time of my birth." Thus spoke Admiral Baron Gombel Yamamoto, Japanese minister of marine during the aJpanese-Russian war, as a greeting to the American people today on his arrival here with his suite on board the steamship Carmania. Admiral Yamamoto has been Inspecting the gun shops and shipyards of Europe and while here he will visit our navy yards and ship building plants. He was met at quarantine by Lieuten ant R. W. Henderson, representing Rear Admiral Goodrich, commander of the New York navy yard who extended Ad miral Goodrich's greetings. Admiral Ya mamoto made the occasion of his ar rival an opportunity to deny the re ports from Tokio that the leadership of the Progressive party would fall upon him upon his return home and that ef forts would be made to overthrow the Saionji ministry. He declined to ex press an opinion on the Intention of the United States to send a large fleet of warships from' the Atlantic to' the Pa cific coast. The admiral will take luncheon with President Roosevelt on Friday as Oyster Bay. Admiral Yamamoto received numerous dispatches onVboard the Carmania at IjUiiinn in. a i m IKS iv he received the newspaper men. He Is or snort sraiure ana compact ngurt- nu Iron gray hair.

Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago re ported receipts of 292 cars. The market was weak until after the publication of the government crop re port. The low point for September was 94c.

His replies were in Japanese, which were Interpreted by an aide. When asked what he thought of the intention of the United States government to send prac tically all of our battleships to the Pa cific coast. Admiral Yamamoto smiling broadly said: No Personal 111 Will. "I myself have- no bad feeling against the United States, but it is a question for the country to answer and not for us to express an opinion. "America is a country which has been friendly to us for years; in fact a treaty between this country and Japan was made at the time I was born. It is an old feeling of friend ship which I do not think a passing storm-can Interfere-with, but it de pends' upon the-pens, of the press to smooth the storm." Admiral Yamamoto seemed to re gard as a joke the report from Tokio that on his return count- okuma would ask him to take up the leader ship of the progressive party with the view of overthrowing tne saionji mrn- Istry and after a hearty laugh he said: I have already accepted one cabi net Dosition In my country and am quite tired out. My business now Is the sword by my side. Political par ties have no Interest for me." The admiral said that much de pended on the attitude taken by the press on the present situation. "Too much care can not be taken by the' press," continued' Admiral Yamamoto. "For a few careless words will do more harm than good. There are many sensational papers. both here and In Japan and I ask the edi tors to make a thorough study of the situation before writing their vlewws." The admiral may make an Informal call on President Roosevelt today at Oyster Bay after he has received the official visits -of Admiral Evans com manding the Atlantic fleet and Ad miral Goodrich., commanding the New York navy yard.

She keeps advertising the State Journal In her sermon and run ning In those foolish paragraphs from the society column and I don't think they'ra at all appropriate or in char acter for a church service." Mrs. J. W. F. Hughes will give a luncheon Friday for the women of the R. R. Y. M. C. A. Bible class. The Ideal Card club held Us last meeting of the season Monday at the home of Mrs. A. H. Purdy. The hostesses were Mrs. Purdy. Mrs. C. H. Hill, Mrs. A. T. Lucas and Mrs. Jules Snattinger. Mrs. Edward Gossett will entertain the Orphelin club Thursday afternoon. A woman may have only five cents In the world hut if she Is placed In a situa tion where it becomes necessary she will open her purse, disclose her last coin, laugh about It and bluff It out until one would suppose her resources were limit less. But to a man, even If everybody knows he is worth thousands, the ad mission that he Is accidentally without car fare for "himself and lady" is the most painful thing Imaginable. The oth er night a Topeka bachelor making call at the home of an old friend met a woman whom he knew but slightly and, as she was alone, offered to take her home. He had no sooner made the sug gestion than he remembered that he had only five cents in his pocket. He was Immediately covered with confusion and sat in .mortal agony for the twenty or thirty minutes that it took the woman caller to get ready to start her adieux trying to think of some excuse, subter fuge or explanation that would relieve him from sih dilemma. ..Finally when they were about to leave he asked his hostess for a drink of water and follow ed her into the house where he first swore her to eternal secrecy, then ex plained his embarrassment and borrow ed twenty-five cents. When they were on the car his companion asked, to be allowed to pay the fare but he refused with great dignity and handed the bor rowed quarter to' the conductor with the grand air of ease and confidence which only a sound financial condition will give. When there are two or more sisters In a family whose ages are not far apart it is no unusual thing for a man to be in love with them all by turns. A To peka girl has a Steady who was for merly in love with her younger sister and a girl who Is one of a family of five sisters relates a certain old bachelor in her town has been a suitor of every one of them in turn and is now paying assiduous court to the youngest, a girl of eighteen. A Topeka man who has been listening to the conversation of girls, has sug gested the following titles for Salvation Army hymns: "I'm Crazy About the Lord" and "Ain't Jesus Grand?" For some reason an Idea prevails that girls must go away from home and do a lot of gadding in order to find a desirable human meal ticket but if you will think it over you will find that very few young women of your experience have had any luck as professional visiting girls. The girls who have married best have almost without exception met their husbands In Topeka. which is one of the best towns on earth for this purpose, there being at least three men to every girl and a large percentage of bachelors with good positions or independent in comes. But every summer the girls who have failed to land during the winter make up a lot of clothes, pack their trunks and hie them away on a man hunt. In the fall they generally return with a depleted wardrobe, and a coat of tan and that is all they have to show for their summer's campaign. Of course they have had a good time and the change has done them good, if In no other way than to make them appreciate Topeka and Topeka men, but as for sparklers on the third finger of the left hand nothing do ing! But If they had devoted some time and thought, and half the money to a still hunt at home they might have landed one of the many eligible bachelors In the local social puddle. The reason why the Visiting Girl rarely makes good is not hard to seek. In every town there are a few men usually the younger chaps who ar neither eligible nor serious who think It a mark of distinction to run around with V. G.'e, but most of the men don't have much time for the depicted In the sketch, the bodice of this in front and back, and had, alternating tiny pipings or paie. nitre and black-he-r tne large armnoie, which, was also, out of prplng. The skirt waa finished by Lrie lower pari. f- it. a transients. They figure that It' WIH hardly pay them to get lnterested'ln a girl who will soon be gone or else they tins nep to the. v.

Yesterday's baseball game contained nearly every conceivable play ever re corded in the game and probably will serve as the record for some time as the most variegated game ever played in Topeka. Abbott's pitching was the feature. Pleasanton, Iowa, is short one citi zen who was in the habit of wearing a full set of false teeth, and the mayor has written Acting Mayor Hughes ask ii.g about the masticatory organs of the man murdered at the three bridges and then placed on the railroad track. Sidewalks may be constructed here after by the city using brick with an asphalt filler. Brick has always been used but the asphalt filler is something new. It will fill in the openings be tween the brick and make walking more easy. The following reports of births have been issued by the board of health: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Freeman, 1621 Fillmore, girl; Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Irish, 700 Law rence street, boy; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McGrath, 816 Kansas avenue, boy; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fisher, 319 East Third, street, boy. There is a man living on West Sixth avenue who is an amateur photographer and for the past three or four years he has sent his work to Kansas City to a large wholesale house. The "large wholesale house" in turn returns it to Topeka where the developing is done by John F. Striekrott, who returns It to the Kansas City firm and It is by them returned to the West Sixth street man who sends his work U Kansas City so that it will be done properly. Residents, property owners, on West Tenth avenue between Jackson and Harrison streets, are circulating a peti tion to repave that street with brick with an asphalt filler. The first petition called for asphalt but no bids were re ceived for doing this work when adver tisements were placed. As it is probabla that no contractor will bid for such a small asphalt contract and because- of the fact that no other asphalt paving contracts will be let for some time it is believed that it would be best to repave with brick. THE SHOOT AT FORT RILEY. Colonel Holslngton Is in Charge of the Rifle Marksmen. Fort Riley, Kan., July 10. At the state rifle competition about 170 marksmen are participating. The shoot of Tuesday was for the com pany trophy. This competition was in rapid and slow fire at 200 yards and slow fire at 200. 300 and 600 yards. Owing to the many participants and the late hour at which the com petition closed the results are not yet available. The preliminary shooting in the competition which will decide the per sonnel of the team that will represent Kansas at the national rifle competi tion this fall at Putin Bay, O., is on today. The shooting will continue un til Friday night. The marksmen will break camp Saturday morning and re turn home. Colonel Hoisington of the Second regiment, Kansas national guard, is the officer in charge at the range. Adjutant General J. W. F. Hughes is here from Topeka to re main for a couple of days. Colonel Metcalf, First regiment, is expected. The team that will be selected to go to the national competition will be composed of twelve of the best marks men In the two regiments of the Kansas national guard, together with three alternates, a captain, a spotter and a marker. CARLOADS OF POTATOES. Franklin County Also Sends Cabbage to Texas Markets. Ottawa, July 10. The first car of new potatoes has been shipped out of Ottawa. The car was loaded by Jacob Johnson and the potatoes were grown on the Johnson place. The Hewit-Evans company shipped the car out and it went to Omaha, from whence the potatoes will be sent on to the west. The price delivered on the car was eighty-five cents per bushel. Mr. Hewitt is rather enthusiastic over the potato crop prospect for this section. He said this morning that there would be fifty cars shipped out this season from Ottawa, Imes and Baldwin. The first car of cabbage to be ship ped out, was also loaded today by Mr. Johnson. The car is consigned to Beaumont, Texas. The price received is $1.75 per hundred. The potatoes in the Johnson fields are yielding better than 100 bushels per acre. From three and a half acres he has harvested 440 bushels of potatoes. CITY ASBUSINESS The Commission Plan Proposed for Topeka. ProYisions of the New Des Moines Charter. TKE OUT OF POLITICS Plan Pnts Municipality on New Basis. Proposition Is Being FaYorably Keceiyed Here. There is little doubt that Topeka will adopt the commission plan of government. The petition's calling an election already have nearly the re quired number of signatures. How ever an effort will be made to secure 5,000 signatures before the petitions are presented. Here is an outline of the Des Moines plan recently adopted by an overwhelming majority: Instead of the council a commission of five men in charge of these sepa rate departments: Public affairs. Accounts and finances. Streets and public improvements. Public safety. Parks and public property. Nominations to be made at a non partisan primary. Commissioners to be subject to re call by popular vote. Franchises to be submitted to pop ular vote. Initiative and referendum. The commission plan of government that has been adopted by Des Moines presents several features of interest to cities that are thinking of changing and improving their municipal char ters. The chief thing about the Des Moines plan is its simplicity and di rectness. Next in interest is the ease with which a radical change in the form of government is to be effected without disturbing the general laws governing the municipality. From a government by a mayor and ward aldermen the municipality will pass to the control of a board of five commissioners, elected at large, one of whom. will be mayor. The change will take effect March 2. And it will be made without any inconvenience to the taxpayers and the property In terests of the city. A section of the enabling act passed by the state legislature provides that all state laws not in conflict or incon sistent with this act are retained and remain in full force. All contracts and liabilities remain the same as under the present form of government. The Des Moines plan is based on the idea that the municipality is a sepa rate and distinct entity from the state and federal government; that it is more an administrative than a legis lative body. The people retain a large measure of legislative control. The plan adopts the analogy of the large business institution. While it centralizes power it concentrates re sponsibility in the five commissioners over whom the people retain a direct control. It is an evolution of the old New England town meeting and gov ernment by the selectmen. In a city of nearly 100,000 population an as sembly of the people (s impracticable". It would be a mob. So the people are clothed with the power to choose and direct their representatives by their votes at an orderly election. Xo Political Machine, The possibility of the commission ers building a political machine seems to have been in the minds of the men who framed the charter. They aimed to prevent it in this wise: The mayor and four aldermen hold office two years. The plan aims to eliminate politics in the choice of a commission by providing a nonpar tisan primary. Any person desiring to become a candidate for mayor or councilman must file a statement of his candidacy with the city clerk ten Aaya before the primary. He shall file at the same time a petition signed by at least twenty-five qualified voters. After the expiration of the time for filing, the clerk publishes the names of the candidates for three successive days in all of the daily newspapers, as they will appear on the ballot. The names of the candidates for mayor, arranged alphabetically, are first to be placed with a square at the left of each name and the words "Vote for one," immediately below. Following these, also in alphabetical order, and in the same form, the names of the candidates for councilmen must ap pear with the words.- "Vote for four," below. Here is the form of the pri mary ballot, substantially:

(Names of Candidates.) (Vote for One.) FOR COUNCILMAN. Names of Candidates.) (Vote for Four.) The voter makes a cross in the square to the left of the names he votes. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for mayor are to be the only candidates whose names shall be placed on the ballot for mayor at the regular election. The eight candidates receiving the highest number of votes for councilmen, or all of such candi dates if fewer than eight, shall be the only candiates whose names shall be placed on the ballot -for the regular election. The candidate for mayor and the four candidates for aldermen receiving the highest number of votes at the final election are to take office. No political party designation is allowed on any bal lot at the primary or the general elec tion. The new charter prohibits any person or candidate accepting from or giving money to any candidate for office to secure election or appointment. An other section to insure honest elections prescribes a severe penalty for the ac ceptance or giving of any bribe to In fluence voters. A majority vote of the five members Are You Bilious Yellow complexion, dull eyes, sick headache, constipation, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth are indications that the bile needs regulating. Your liver will work properly after you have taken a few doses of Sold everywhere. Inboxesl0c.and25c. of the commission is necessary to pass1 any measure and three members shall constitute a quorum. The yeas and nays must be recorded as in a regular council meeting. The mayor has no veto. The signature of the. mayor and two of the councilmen must be record ed on every ordinance. A simple, di rect and expeditious method of trans acting public business seems to be pro vided by the section prescribing the du ties of the commission. The commission or council will exer cise all executive, legislative and Ju dicial powers and duties now exercised by the mayor, aldermen, board of pub lic works, park commissioners, board of waterworks trustees, board of library trustees, solicitor, assessor, treasuier, auditor, city engineer and other execu tive and administrative officers. The executive and administrative authority will be divided into the following five departments: Department of public affairs. Department of accounts and finances. Department of public safety. Department of streets and public im provements.. Department of parks and public pro perty. Duties of the Mayor. The mayor is by law made the super intendent of the department of public affairs and the council at the first reg ular meeting following the election must elct one councilman to be superintend ent of each of the other departments. The commission may create and discon tinue officers as may be necessary for the welfare of the city and fix the com pensation. Opportunity is given ior a close public scrutiny of the actions of the commis sion. Every ordinance, franchise and con tract must be open to public inspection after its adoption by the council for seven days before its final passage. And it does not go into effect for ten days thereafter. With the view of preventing franchise grabs the charter requires all franchises to public service corporations to be sub mitted to a vote of the people for ap proval. No officer or employe is allowed to be interested in any way in any contract or job to which the city is a party or in which any public service corporation is interested. Any official or employe who attempts to influence or control appoint ments directly or indirectly is subject to a fine of $300 or a term in the county jail. As a further safeguard against political influence in the public service, a strict civil service system is establish ed. The council is obligated to appoint three civil service commissioners w-hose terms are for six years, each term ending- alternatively every two years. Any head of a subordinate department may suspend an employe, who shall have a right to appeal to the commission for a trial. Appointments are to be made from an eligible list of persons who have successfuly passed -examination. Where the Dea Moines plan differs conspicuously from the Galveston plan is in the provision for the recall of a councilman whose conduct causes dissatisfaction and also in the pro visions for the initiative and referen dum. A petition bearing signatures numbering 25 per cent of the total vote castat the last preceding election must be presented to the clerk de manding an election for a successor to the incumbent whose removal is desired. The clerk is required by law to put the incumbent's name on the ballot without nomination. If the in cumbent gets a majority he remains in office. If the other candidate gets it the incumbent goes out. Any proposed ordinance may be sub mitted to the 'council by petition signed by electors equaliimi number to 25 per cent of the last total vote. The council may pass it without alteration in twen ty days or submit it to the people at a special election. Any number of pro posed ordinances may be voted upon at the same election. tout no more than one special election shall be held for such Dumose in any period of six months. The referendum works out much the same way. If any ordinance is passed by the council which is not satisfactory to the people they nave a ngnt to reject it bv vote.

Lincoln. Neb., July 10. The Mis souri, Pacific railway today challenged the authority of the Nebraska railway commission to adjust, determine or fix oil rates. The Marshall Oil company several weeks ago complained that the Nebraska freight schedules discrimi nated against the independent com pany and in favor of the Standard Oil company, allowing the latter to dis tribute from county seat points. In answer the Missouri Pacific asserts that the interstate commerce commis sion has sole jurisdiction. BOTH STAKES TO WHITNEY. Stamina and Dinna Ken Won Rich Prizes at Sheepshead. New York, July 10. Stamina and Dinna Ken, horses owned by Harry Payne Whitney, took both stake feat ures, the Double Event and the Law rence Realization, worth in the neigh borhood of $42,000, at Sheepshead Bay. James R. Keene scratched his strongest representatives in both events, Peter Pan in the Realization, because of the cuppy condition of the track, and Colin in the double event, because of his deformed hock. Mr. Keene depended on Besom, an added starter in the double event, and Zam besi in the 3-year-old stake. In both his colors were trailed in absolutely last. The Realization, the richest 3-year-old stake of the year, brought only four starters to the post, Frank Gill, Salvidere, Zambesi and Dinna Ken. All were played, but Frank Gill was a 3 to 2 favorite, with Zambesi, ridden by Miller, the outsider. After the start Miller on Zambesi cut out the pace, and was followed by Frank Gill. Passing the grandstand and around the first turn, Dinna Ken and Salvr dere trailed the former on the ex treme outside. This order held until midway in the back stretch, where Salvidere made an attempt to go up to the leader and failed. Koerner. on Dinna Ken, made no effort until well past the first turn and then easily sent Dinna Ken up to and by Zambesi. Frank Gill moved up a trifle and at the stretch turn stole the rail. Here it looked like Frank Gill all the way, but Dinna Ken was not beaten yet. Koerner urged him on and soon had Knapp on Frank Gill working at the bit. Right up to the eighth pole it was stride for stride. Frank Gill could not stand this finish ing rush and finally backed up, going past the judges three parts of a length back. Salvidere, flvo lengths back, galloped in third. Meet me at the Chautauqua. (Tke GrosLy Bros Co.
