Government Takes a Hand in Robertson Case. Charge Against Prisoner Using Mails to Defraud. Is MAY BE A BIGA3IIST. Man Was About to Tate a Wife "When Arrested. Officials Think They Have an Old Offender. As soon as the papers in the case can be made out A. F. Williams. Unit ed States commissioner, will issue a warrant for the arrest of an elderly and debonair gentleman who has signed his name as D. H. Robertson, but who says his real name is Dixon, on a charge of using the malls with an attempt to defraud. 2. II. Robertson, or Dixon. Who Is in the Toils. This man has been in the county Jail since Saturday of last week in the custody of J. W. Wilkerson. the sher iff. Mr. Wilkerson believes that he has landed, in the arrest of the man in question, one of those fellows who operate throughout the country and gain a livelihood by preying on the sympathies of persons in distress. Mr. Wilkerson thinks that Robertson, or Dixon, has a variety of games that he has worked with success to obtain money under false pretenses. It would not be surprising to the sheriff If more than one woman claimed him as her husband. He had boasted around his haunts in the city for, a couple of days before his arrest that he was about to able means who lives at Rossville. He) had told folks, whose acquaintance he had made, that he was to marry her on Saturday night., but his arrest in terfered with this one plan of his. He was taken Into custody by the sheriff on what is believed to be a new "pkin" game in these parts one of getting money from parents of run away boys under the forgery of their names in letters to their-folks asking that money be sent them to give them a chance to get home. During the middle of last week Sheriff Wilkerson received a letter from S. B. Weir of Aline. Ok., stating that his son Claude B. Weir, who had been missing from home for some time, had written him or a letter had been received purporting to come from him saying that he was ill in Topeka, suffering from a sunstroke and asking that money be sent him to pay his board bill here and pur chase his passage home. This pur ported letter from young Weir asked. that the money be sent by letter in care of D. H. Robertson at 117 West Fifth street. Mr. Weir, senior, stated In his letter to the sheriff that he had sent on twenty dollars in a registered letter as directed but that his son had rot appeared at home and that no further word had been received from him. Mr. Weir wrote that he believed he had been duped by some sharper and asked the pherlft to act. As is his custom. Mr. Wilkerson lost no time in getting busy. He found Mr. Robertson, or Dixon, living within a few doors of 117 Wrest Fifth street, and placed him under arrest. Although Mr. Wilkerson had no warrant for the gentleman he Jailed him and has kept him there until he couia get tne neces cary documentary evidence from Mr. Weir that Robertson, or whoever he is receipted for the registered letter which Mr. Weir supposed he was sending to his son with the money to bring him home. Investigation made by the sheriff leads him to believe that young Weir was never In this city and that Rob ertson got acquainted with him in New ton, where the boy was last heard from, and then came to Topeka where he proceeded to bunco the lad's par ents in the manner aescnoeo. Robertson has told the sheriff that he wrote the letter to Mr. Weir and receipted for the registered letter but he says that he did so with the con sent of young Weir. He has been un able to give young Weir's whereabouts In the city and. as stated, the sheriff Is positive that the boy has never been here. Robertson has told the sheriff and others that his real name is Dixon and that the reason he used the name Rob ertson was so a former wife of his could not trace him. When Mr. Wilk erson took the matter up first with the federal authorities and mentioned the nan's name, a deputy in the United States marshal's office spoke up and said. "Why, that's a fellow we want, r else his wife. She used to live at 1621 West street and styled herself as an agent for a machine to extract ozone from the air." This particular woman has not been living at that address since March last and it is not known whether Robert eon, or Dixon, under arrest was in any way affiliated with her.- But the coin cidence Is a rather peculiar one. The prisoner has made statements that he is a Mason in high standing in his own community, but where that may be Is doubtful. He has claimed Lincoln, Neb., as his place of residence as well as several other places in thr vicinity of Kansas. It is known he was an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth within the past year but Sheriff Wilkerson is doubtful If he even was entitled to this privilege, there be ing considerable skepticism in the sher iff's mind as to whether or not the man -VjGiN Is really a war veteran. U-wiJ. aeaiers. Dotn retail anJ Robertson has been so ill during theder? bartenders, from the or- P .C urB of hIa Incarceration in Jail that It has been necessary to ca:i in a physician to attend him. It is not oeuevea rnai uie Illness is serious. AN INCH OF RAIN. State Is Given Another Soaking Last Night. Kansas was given Just a little relief by the rain of last night. The night started In to. be hotter than the pre ceding one and the temperature at midnight was 4 degrees higher but the rain came just in time and changed things somewhat. .91 of an inch fell and nearly all of It in the twenty minutes from 8:12 to 3:32. The wind that preceded the first show er at about 1 o'clock reached a velocity of 30 miles an hour for a few minutes. It blew from the south at first, veered 'round to the southwest, and then later back to the south again. The rain was general throughout the state as was the heat of yesterday, which reached 100 at Osage City and Wichita. Today the wind is blowing ten miles an hour from the south. This morn ing was quite a little cooler than yes terday morning, but the high humid ity makes the atmosphere very un-i comfortable. The pressure Is about the same as yesterday. From the talk on the street, a good portion of Tope ka Is sleeping in the hammock or on the floor. The forecast for tomorrow is fair in the western part of the state with showers in the eastern portion. The temperatures today were: 7 o'clock 73 11 o'clock 79 12 o'clock 8 3 1 o'clock 85 2 o'clock 87 8 o'clock 74 9 o'clock 75 10 o'clock 76 BILL AGAINST RUSSIA. A Big One About to Be Presented by Owners of Codfish Vessels. San Francisco. Aug. 8. The owners of the local codfish vessels are prepar ing to present to the Russian govern ment through the state department at Washington a large Indemnity bill on account of the recent ejectment from the Okhotsk sea of the barkentine S. N. Castle and the bark J. D. Spreckels. Further advices from the Orient may show that the bill should also include damages for the detention of the barkentine Fremont from San Fran cisco and the City of Papeete of Seat tle. News of the latter boats is being anxiously awaited, as it is feared that thev have been captured by the Rus sian cruiser that took away the papers of the Spreckels and Castle and order ed them out of Okhotsk waters. OVERCOME BY HEAT. Engineer Robert McClure Falls From Ills Cab. """s l" '""J fireman and engineer between Topeka ana Lawrence yesterday afternoon on freight train 161 on the Union Pacific, Engineer Robert McClure dropped from his cab overcome from the heat, just as he succeeded In pulling his train In to the depot yesterday afternoon about 5:40. At L.wrence the high temperature and stifling heat from the boiler had been the undoing of the fireman, who was a new man. Not being able to at once obtain another fireman at Lawrence, McClure undertook the heavy task of trying to be his own fireman to Topeka. He succeeded hi reaching his goal only to be himself a victim to the terrible heat. JUDGE GRAVES STRICKEN Overcome With Heat at His Home in Emporia. Justice Charles B. Graves of Em poria was overcome by heat yesterdajr at his home in Emporia, and accord ing to reports received in Topeka to day, is in quite serious condition. It is said that this is the second time that Judge Graves has been over come by heat, and his friends are con siderably worried by the occurrence. Justice R. A. Burch, who has been sick for some days with what is be lieved to be an attack of typhoid fever, is reported to be getting along favorably.

A Timber man of the Smuggler Union Killed in 1901. FOUJVD BY GEN. WELLS At a Spot Pointed Out to Him by Steve Adams. An Echo of the Strike of Miners in 1901. Denver, Colo., Aug. 8. A special to the News from Tellurlde, Colo., says: What is said to be the skeleton of W J. Barney, the timberman employed on the Smuggler-Union mine who myster iously disappeared In the month of June, 1901, was exhumed yesterday afternoon near the Alta mill, near Gold King basin, 12 miles from town, by General Bulkeley Wells, manager of the Smuggler-Union mine, and others. According to Wells the remains weie found in an Improvised grave in a loca tion pointed out by Steve Adams, now In Jail in Idaho awaiting a second trial on the charge of murder, when he was here In June, 1906, in the custody of Wells. It was after Adams made the alleged confession which he afterwards repudi ated and In which he Is supposed to have acknowledged being the assassin of Arthur Collins, formerly general man ager of the Smuggler-Union mine, and to be familiar with the places where the bodies of W. J. Barney and Wesley Smith, a shaft boss of the Liberty Bell mine, were burled. Adams was brought down here by General Wells to point band, she said, went upstairs and rep out the graves of the missing men. rimanded the pair for making a dis- When Wells and Adams went up Into the Gold King basin there was more snow on the ground than had been an ticipated, and several years having elapsed since the body had been buried, Adams was unable to determine exactly where the grave was. He showed Gen eral Wells the place according to th-j best of his recollection. Adams evident ly gave an accurate description of the place, for It is understood little difficulty was experienced in uncovering the grave. A part of the body or skeleton includ ing the teeth and that portion by which Identification could be most readily established, was brought to town by General Wells. Barney incurred the 111 will of the union here by working at the Smuggler mine after the strike in April, 1901. It was this strike that caused, the riots on July 3 of -that year. Adams Is said to have told Wells that Barney's body was stripped of his clothing, which was bur ied some distance from his body. Af terward the body was taken up and buried in another place. ..While here in 1906 Adams is said to hava pointed out to Wells the fir tree, In the darkness of which he claimed to have stood when he fired the fatal charge of buckshot into the back of Manager Collins. He is also said to have told -Wells where he threw the cartridge after removing It from the gun. ON TOUR OF THE WORLD. neads of Rival Theosophist Societies Abroad at Same Time.

"It Is mighty hard for-the men in our territory," he said, "to under stand the news that comes to them from the east of business recessions and approaching hard times. All the country that I travelled over is brim ful of prosperity and it looks as if the whole stretch from Chicago to Mexico is in for another yeaT of rec ord breaking business. The apprehension about the crops, for which there was foundation In planting season, when the late spring and heavy rains made replanting necessary, has entirely passed away and the crop outlook is now splen did."

BELLO ISJNSANE. Russian Who "Shot Dp" Rock Island Train Crazy. Application Made for Admission to Asylum. HE IS NOT A KAN SAN. Consequently There Is No Place for Him Here, May Be Sent Back to Massachu setts Institution. John Bello. the Italian who "shot up" the Rock Island train between Dresden and Selden on June 21, killing one pas senger and, wounding two others, has again gone to the bad, and is a rav ing maniac in the county jail at Ober lin, guarded by day and night shifts of two men each. After his gun play on the Rock Island train Bello apparently recovered from his insanity. He was first taken to Goodland, Kan., and held there some time, and then transferred to Decatur county, in which the shooting occurred. At the Oberlln jail he constantly Im proved, and his preliminary hearing for his sanity was postponed from time to time, at his own consent, to see how his mental condition continued. Appar ently Bello was entirely sane again, and within a short time, he probably would have either been given his hearing be fore the probate judge or released. About ten days ago. however. Bello was taken sick. The county physician attended him, and he seemed to be get ting along all right, until he suddenly went crazy again, and is now raving In his cell, manifesting the same homici dal and suicidal tendencies which char acterized his exploit on the Rock Is land train. The probate court of Decatur county at once adjudged Bello insane, and sent the necessary papers to the state board of control, for the purpose of arranging for the admission to one of the state asylums of the celebrated prisoner. The board of control is not inclined to accept the charge. In a letter to the probate judge of Decatur county, the board of control says: "If Bello's residence Is Boston, Mass., as appears from the papers in the case, it then becomes the duty of your county to transfer him to that place and deliver him to the proper -authorities. This should be done upon an or der from your courts. If he is not a resident of Boston, or has just landed In this country, then another question becomes involved. Under the rules of the immigration bureau, any alien per son who becomes a public charge with in three years from date of landing, from a cause contracted prior to this landing, is subject to deportation," and the agent of the immigration bureau shall go and get him and deport him without expense to your county." i The board of control offers to place Bello temporarily in one of the state asylums provided he can be deported to Italy under the Immigration laws. He would be held in the state asylum until the necessary arrangements can be made for transferring him to the custody of a government agen of the immigration bureau. It seems likely, however, that De catur county will have to pay the ex pense of sending Bello back to East Boston, Mass., which he claims as his home. Bello was on the way to San Francisco when he ran amuck on the Rock Island train. He is 31 years-of age. Is married and has five children. His wife, he says, lives at Milford, Mass. Bello's family Is evidently not very Bolicitious about him, for they- pay no attention- to letters written in his be half. Possibly they are too Ignorant of the language and customs of the country to understand the misfortune that has befallen their kinsman. OPERATORS WALK OUT. Employes of Western Union at Los Angeles Quit Their Keys. Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 8 Follow ing the refusal of Western Union telegraph officials to reinstate a dis charged operator nearly seventy members of Los Angeles local Com mercial Telegraphers of America walked out of the operating depart ment at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. At 6:30 o'clock there were five men working at the keys and a block away in the Hollenbeck over fifty operators were holding a meeting to decide up on a future action. According to an unofficial statement by the striking employes, there Is absolutely no pros pect of the men resuming work be fore tomorrow and even then their return is said to be more than prob lematical. The men declare their In tention -to make the reinstatement of the discharged operator the issue. District Superintendent F. H. Lamb half an hour after the men had walk ed but, said to the Associated Press: "At 5:30 this afternoon the men walked out without previous notice. That is all I care to say at present. I have had no requests, for negotiations and I can not assume any connection between anything that has happen ed and the walkout of the men." Delegates to Deep Water Convention.

Worcester, Mass., Aug. 8. The works of Horatio Alger, Jr., the noted writer of books for boys, have been barred from the shelves of the Worcester public li brary. Alger is now In the same class as Mark Twain, Robert T. Chambers, Walt Whitman and other, well known pro ducers of literature, some of whose works have been barred from free pub lic libraries In Worcester county towns and cities. At the library the reason given for barring Alger's books, which have been on the shelves for years, is that they were not truthful and are too sensa tional. BEARS STILL ON TOP. They Continue to Force Down the Prices of Stocks. New York, Aug. 8. With British con sols selling at a new low level and American stocks generally lower In Lon don following the sharp declines here yesterday, the opening of the New York stock market today was attended with unusual interest. The sharp decline In quotations yesterday was without ex planation further than it was due to heavy selling by holders of railroad and other shares, who did not care to re tain their securities at this time. There was nothing to show whether their de sire to sell was because they were tired of waiting for an upward movement of prices, because of the low supplies of money, or because of depressed senti ment in Wall street over the difficulties in which many corporations find them selves with the national and state gov ernments. First transactions showed large sales at lower prices. Union Pacific was 1 lower than last night on sales of 5,800 shares and Northern Pacific was 2. Other shares sold at from 1 to 1 below yesterday s final quotations. The market was generally in a nerv ous state but the trading was not at tended with any unusual excitement. Today's declines were attributed to sales by speculators who desire lower prices and to holders who did not have the funds to protect their brokers f gainst further losses. The socalled Standard OH and Frick groups of stocks were the centers of attack, In cluding in that designation Union Pa cific, Reading, Amalgamated Copper and American Smelting and in close symoathy the Hill railroads and St. Paul. The speculators for the decline used as their principal fresh ammunition the reports from Washington of the Intention -of the department of justice to push criminal prosecutions against certain heads of corporations. The quick rallies of 1 to 2 points in the first hour left the market unsettled and feverish. In the curb market Standard Oil sold down 11 points to 485. -The market became steadier, but when the- earlier losses had been re trieved there was no disposition 'to follow the advance and t he market fell into extreme dullness. The price of Standard Oil In the curb market fell an extreme 19 points from last night's closing to 477 on the sale of 75 shared. The stock subsequently shared In the vigorous rallying tendency shown on the stock exchange. FLOOD STOPS TRIAL. Lawyers," Officers and Detectives Forced to Seek Shelter. Plttsburg,Aug.8. Thomas Jordan, the negro Janitor of the First National bank of Turtle Creek, who is under ar rest on a Charge of disorderly conduct in connection with the disappearance of $4,750 about a week ago was taken before a justice of the -peace for a hearing today. During the proceedings a terrific thunderstorm came up and Turtle creek overflowed Its banks, flooding the town. Lawyers, bank officials, constables and detectives were forced to seek shelter and the hearing was suddenly terminated.- The case will be taken up tomorrow again. The storm was one of the heaviest and severest of the season. The light ning flashes were almost incessant and a number of buildings about this city were struck but none was seriously damaged. At Irwin, a culvert over Tinker Run on the Yough branch of the Pennsylvania railway filled with debris and the water rushed over the road. It stripped the Atlantic Refin ing company plant of everything but tanks and brick walls. Lumber and bricks were added to the onrush. Tons of stuff were thrown against the road bed of the railway and washed it away leaving rails and ties unsupport ed. The mass of debris buried part of a freight train. The cars were thrown against the Crescent brewery building breaking open doors. The first floor is covered and the damage is large. The' entire Yough line is tied up. Much damage was done at Larimer and the Irwin-Trafford trolley line is tied up. Several thousand dollars' damage was done at Wllmerdlng where the princi pal streets were inundated, cellars flooded and trolley traffic tied up. In East Pittsburg the damage was com paratively light, Demg cnieny connnea to the washing out of shade trees. MOYER IS AT HOME. He Is Keeping Out of the Way of All Demonstrations. Denver, Aug. 8. Charles Moyer, pres ident of the Western Federation, has arrived in the city. Mr. Moyer was accompanied by Mrs. Moyer and her sister and went immediately to his home. The reason for his delayed homecom ing is that he desired to have no dem onstration of any kind. It Is his Idea that such things are unnecessary and do no good. Owing to the strain to which he and Mrs. Moyer has been subjected they have kept closely at home, denying themselves to everybody. Mr. Moyer will attend the next meet ing of the executive committee of the federation which will be held this week probably. Weather Indications. Chicago, Aug. 8. Kansas: Fair in west, showers In east portion tonight and Friday. PAVINGJHE WAY. France Is Preparing for Per manent Occnpation of Morocco. England's Course in Egypt Is Cited as a Precedent. GEKMANY IS WILLING. Provided She Can Get Some thing Out of the Deal. She Has Already. Recognized Logic of the Situation." Paris, Aug. 8. In spite of the firm intention of the French governmont to keep within the terms of the Algeciras convention in its dealing with Morocco, the French press clear ly foresees that France, unless the situation rapidly improves,, has en tered upon a long and heavy task. The newspapers express the opinion' that France, upon which the chief burden in restoring security in the disturbed country will fall, may be forced to occupy In turn all the Moroccan ports and then probably be compelled to undertake a punitive expedition to Fez, after which It would be impossible to withdraw, as was the' case with the British in Egypt. As the British bombardment of Alexandria enhanced the prestige of Great Britain In Egypt, mo It Is argued, the French bombardment of Casa Blanca will have a similar effect' In Morocco. An expedition to Fe,, the newspapers point out, would, like the British victory at Tel el Keblr. complete the parallel. The Petit Parslenne today prints an interesting interview with a "High Personage" at the German foreign of fice, who indicates that Germany rec ognizes the logic of the situation and Is prepared to acquiesce In France's "incontestible predominance" in Mo rocco, provided France is prepared to give a quid pro quo in the shape of the admission of the German govern ment and German industrials into the French market. More Troops Landed. Tangier, Aug. 8. A steamer which ar. rived here today from Casa Blanca, re ports that quiet has been restored there among the natives and that the Euro peans are all well. The bombardment of the place by the French cruisers lasted 48 hours. The native quarter was much damaged. Additional French forces were landed at Casa Blanca yesterday afternoon. The report of the bombardment of Mazagin by the French cruiser Du Chayla is confirmed. Mazagan Badly Wrecked. London, Aug. 8. A special dispatch from Tangier says that the greater part of Mazagan was destroyed by the bom bardment. but the consulates were' not Injured. It is reported that durinsr the shel ling of Mazagan, the Moors attacked the Jewish quarter of the town and" killed many persons. Casa Blanca Full of Dead. Tangier Aug. 8. The French-warships yesterday landed two thousand' additional men at Casa Blanca, where street fighting apparently continues, judging fnom the desultory firing heard day and night by those on board the ships anchored off the town. The Jewish quarter of Casa Blanca has been sacked. Many per sons were massacred in the streets, the and the Moorish quarter is in ruins, having been set on fire by the shells from the big guns of the cruisers. All the stores are closed and much hunger and distress prevails among the poor.

XI ITI0N CO,.: Tommy Barns Does Not Draw Bed Daris and Wooley Made the Color Line. Star Plays for Topeka. A 45-ROUJSD BATTLE. Contest to Be Held at Colma on September 9th. Fight Promoter Coffroth Offers Them a $25,000 Purse. New York, Aug. 8. Sam Fltzpat rlck, manager of the colored prize fighter, Jack Johnson, grabbed at the proposition made him by .wire by Jim my Coffroth. the San Francisco fight promoter, to match Tommy Burns against Johnson for a $25,000 go in California. Abcut sporting resorts, this match is creating more talk than any fighting contest in some yars. Manager Coffroth wants a forty-flve round bout. He wired that Burns had accepted, and in his telegram stated that he would wish for the meeting in 'the ring to take place on the night of September 9. the anniversary of Cali fornia's admission to the Union. This offer for a fight would appear to be a reward for all of Johnson's exertions of the past two years and Manager Fltzpatrick's attempts to get a match with a white heavyweight. Sam has been on the trail of them all. including Jeffries, but Jeff absolutely refuses to fight a negro, and the oth ers all hopped over the color line for refuge as soon as they learned of Johnson's heft and muscle. Immediately upon receipt of the Coffroth telegram Manager Fitzpatrick Bent back word over the wire that he Would accept for Johnson. Fitz went further than that. He wired: "Let Burns name the division of the purse. We ask no favors." Manager Fitzpatrick said: "I have been for over a year endeavoring to get on a match for Johnson with any one of the topnotchers. They all duck ed him.. I bar none, except that grand old man of the ring. Bob Fitzsimmons. He alone, among them all up to the present time, had the courage to face Johnson. Of course he went down before Jack, Just as I thought he would. Bums is the recognized cham- pton now. since Jim Jeffries has got oat of the game, and shows the spirit pf a real champion in his willingness to defend the title. This ought to be a great battle. Kvery one who knows anything about the eame knows Burns is a fighter. I know Johnson is able to go some himself. We will not j stand on any ceremonies as to how the purse should be divided. Burns is, of course, the champion, and we are will ing to abide by any terms he may lay flown. When Manager Fitzpatrick was asked how the two men compared as to size and all that, he said: "They are pretty evenly matched as to weight. Burns is a bit like Sharkey in his get- p. Johnson is more like Jim Corbett Jn his build." Manager Fitzpatrick and Johnson will leave for the Golden coast aa soon as possible. Fitz's idea is to get all the time in California he can in order that his man shall be thoroughly ac climated and conditioned for this com ing great battle. OLD JOHX L. SIXLIVAX. Is Making an Effort to Secure a Par don for Franlde McHugh. Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 8. Before leaving the city for the south John L. Sullivan, who has been showing at a local park for a week, called upon Prankle McHugh, the former light weight pugilist, who is serving a sen tence of five years in, the penitentiary for highway robbery. Sullivan had an idea that he could secure a pardon for McHugh, but he was handicapped In this as Governor Harris was out of the city and he only discovered this when the old gladiator called at the governor's office. Sullivan cannot be lieve McHugh would commit such a crime, as he said he had known Mc Hugh in the old days at Cincinnati, and that he was a square fighter. Sullivan requested friends to inter cede in McHugh's behalf during his absence for a parole. Before leaving the prison Sullivan deposited money enough with Warden Gould to pur chase a suit of clothes for McHugh when he was released. JEFF PLAYING HAXDBALL, Heavyweight Is Trying to Get In Trim for a Battle. Loe Angeles, Aug. 8. Jim Jeffries, rortly bnt seemingly agile enough, has taken up handball as part of his train ing and may be seen every day, exercis ing and perspiring freely, at the Los Angeles Athletic club. While his girth has not diminished as yet, the fashion in which his sparring partners ram hard punches into his stomach indicates that he is not as soft as he looks. "Jeff" has a perfect army of boxers to work with, ranging from feather weights to the ponderous John Brink, who floored the champion in a tryout last week with an unexpected hook. Some of those on his staff are Jack Kipper, Mel Nordltnger and Freddie Maier. Joe Gar: called up by telephone today and exchanged the time of day with Jeffries. Boston Team Gets Asmnssen. Chicago, Aug. 8. Tom Asmussen. a local semiprofesslonal catcher, who has the reputation of being one of the best catchers in the city, has been old to the Boston National league club. Amateur League Formed. Joplln. Aug. 8. The initial step to ward tho formation of the new Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma league took place yesterday when articles of agreement were drawn up for the eight clubs of the. organization. The For a bad spell of Stom ich Trouble tbe Bitters is especially val uable. It also cures Poor Appetite, Sour Risings, Indigestion, Diarrhoea, Cramps or Malarial Fever Try it today. SAM CRAWFORD, DETROIT'S GREAT OUTFIELDER. Crawford is a clever man with the stick, and lie is now doing excellent work. All season thus far be has batsmen. new league will be known as the Interstate Baseball association. Included in the new league are the cities of Joplln, Galena, Columbus, Miami, Baxter Springs, Sarcoxie, Scam mo n and Neodesha. ARE NOT HTTTrXG SO WELL. Heavy Batters of tbe Rational Have Fallen Down This Season. Here is a proposition for the fans to figure out. In almost every case the heavy batters in the National league this year have failed most dismally thus far to come up to the gait they went for tha same number of games last year. At this time last year there were exactly eleven men batting over the .300 mark. Mike Donlln led the bunch; Wagner was seventh, with .317. Wagner has increased his aver age, as he now leads with .327. Clarke is exactly the same, with .325, while Leach has dropped a couple of points.- But there the figuring commences. Steinfeldt had .337 last year, while this year he is only batting at .282. Beaumont is hitting .280, instead of .292; Devlin, of New York, is hitting .264, instead of .286; Burch, of Brooklyn, is hitting .225. instead of .300, and Lumley is hitting .270, In stead of .827.. While there are a number who will be found hovering right around their last season's mark, yet, with the ex ception of the top three men from Pittsburg and the fans all know what the scorers do in Pittsburg, so that matter is easily explained away the big batters who have been in the habit of being right up at the top have fallen down deplorably. There can be no reason assigned for it, for the pitchers are practically the same while the rules are the same. So it Is up to the fans to figure out. MADE EUROPE SIT UP. Georges Dnpuy Traversed 6,000 Miles in Stearns Touring Car. New York, Aug. 8. One of the most noteworthy tours of the summer was that of Georges Dupuy, the New York representative of a French daily auto mobile paper published in Paris. Mr. Dupuy conceived the idea of a gold cup European tour for American touring cars, and, in order to select a route, left New York in June, taking with him a touring car. Subsequently he Journeyed through nine European countries and traveled 6,000 miles in his American car. Mr. Dupuy soon found that the time for preparation was too short, so the American gold cup tour, which has aroused considerable interest, was post poned until next year. It is just as well that it was postponed, for there will be a better chance for its success in 1908, when the American manufacturer will undoubtedly be looking for foreign trade. Mr. Dupuy and his American car aroused tremendous Interest during his great run, and no little hostility was shown the Frenchman by his com patriots, who regard the proposed tour as a direct bid for French trade, and therefore a blow at the French industry. Several French papers received the orig inator of the tour with cartoons showing a lot of antiquated automobiles built early in the last century, and stating that these were the kind of machines which would appear in the tour. The auto pilgrim incidentally did some good missionary work In the various countries he visited by inviting agents of automobiles and prominent officials of cities to take a ride in the American car, an invitation which, in most cases, was accepted. The last day of the tour the run of 310 miles between Metz, Ger many, and Paris was made. This waj the record day's run of the tour. Fifty journalists met the driver and car in front of the Automobile club of r ranee at tne conclusion of the run. and the attempt to ridicule the tour ended in admiration for the driver and car. During one part of the drive through France a parade of wine grow ers was encountered. Atlanta Loses Best Catcher.

Both Speer and Bunton pitched -excellent ball yester day but the local twirler was the more steady in the pinches and won the third straight victory from the visiting Cooleycrows. Three bunched hits and a costly error by Ragan in the fourth inning scored three runs for the. locals which was enough to win the game. The visitors were unable to dent the score pan until the last inning. After Price had been put out judwards singled througn wet- ling, uunton popped out Dut neo Davis knocked a long one to center field for three' baes and Edwards scored. Olson filed out and ended the game. In the fourth Inning: with two men down Holland "and Weaver singled in succession and Annis followed with two-bagger to left field, scoring Hol land. Kelley knocked a grounder to Raean who threw low to first base, al lowing Weaver and -Annis to score and putting Kelley as far as third Dase. Speer ended the scoring by striiung out. The locals were never in any great danger of scoring at any other time as Bunton Kept his hits scattered, ToDeka had several erood chances to score but failed each through inability to hit and dumbness on bases. In the first inning men were on first and sec ond with two outs but the side was retired safely. In the fourth lnnlne the visitors had an excellent chance to score when they filled the bases with no outs, now ever, the necessary blngie was noi forthcoming. Olson singled but Abbott filed out, Runkle followed with a safe drive, put tine Olson on third base with no outs Runkle stole second but Ragan struck nut Woolev was sriven a walk Dut an three men died on bases as Price could not connect. Again in the sixth Inning Speer hit two men in succession and booted an easy bunt, filling the bases. Kagan ana Woolev were struck out and Abbott wnn ofliiff-ht nannlner off second. Speer and Weaver could not get along well together so Weaver played center field wnne tsayiess caugni uui ing the first few innings.

Walker threatened to release McFarland because the latter did not take Bandy out of tho game in the sixth inning when he was being so unmercifully pounded. "Do it and I will pay you a good sum," said McFarland. "Then you will see me hike to Detroit as soon as possi ble." Bandy remained in tne game and the controversy between the sec retary and the manager ended. As an explanation of why he did not yank Bandy out, McFarland says that he had nobody to send in but McClin tock who is new and inexperienced In this league and subject to nervous at tacks with veterans against him like Army's bunch. "Bandy was tired after a long run from first to third ana expected mm to settle down, says the manager. "Events proved that I was right for he held his op ponents safe for the rest of the game.

These players are to go east at the last of this season or early next spring. Becker and Young are both very loath to leave the Jobbers and have refused to go unless they get half of the purchase price. No definite arrangement has yet been made between the players and the management in regard to this.

i thanute, Kan., Aug. 8- Harvey Stiver of Kansas City, the man who has the contract to build the new ma chine shops and round house which the Santa Fe railroad will install here, is in Chanute making arrange ments to begin work. "We shall commence this week or the fore part of next week." Mr. Stiv er stated to the Tribune this after noon "I am ready to start in right away, but I find that the company has not yet set its permanent stakes to mark the sites of the buildings, and will not do so until it gets its revised plat of the grounds back from the Topeka oiTice. "We have contracted to complete the work by the first of the year. I have ordered much of the material, and some of it is on the road, al though I don't think that any has ar rived here vet. Among tne material purchasc-d is lumber, crushed rock, Ftone and cement. The cement or der was not placed until this morn ing, but it will be shipped from only two .stations away, so it will not take it long to get here." When asked whether he would bring his workmen with him, Mr. Stiver replied. "Xot if I can get men In Chanute. I shall have my foremen and overseers, and perhaps two or three bricklayers, but expect to em ploy local labor to do the bulk of the work. "We shall put on thirty or forty men and keep them at work all of the time." Mr. Stiver expects to leave this ev ening for Kansas City, where he has the contract for the construction of a depot. One of his head men arrived this afternoon, and the two went to the "Y" south of the city, where the shops are to be located, and looked the ground over.

PREPARE FOR THE CROPS. Lines for an in Southwest Look Enormous Business. Chicago, Aug. 8. Officials of rail roads of the southwest say ,the real n;iaoraao lies in tne region between St. Louis and the Gulf of Mexico, and they are preparing for a season of tremendous prosperity. They say no one can measure me vast resources of the southwest, which Just now is in process or development at a rate heretofore unprecedented in any sec tion of the country. New settlers are pouring in, and they are taking possession or me waste places. Con sequently the demand for railroad facilities in that territory is more urgent than it has ever been before. In the southwest the crop situation with the exception of corn and cotton already is assured. The crops of small grains already are garnered. The yield has exceeded all expecta tions, and the quality is much above the average. Moreover, a large amount of last year's crops is still waiting shipment, so that the ton nage now in sight in that territory is as large as at this time last year. It is true the roads have increased in their facilities greatly. There is not a line in the southwest that has not in creased its equipment by thousands of cars since this time last year, and the carrying capacity of each car re ceived has been considerably more then doubled. Vice President Biddle of the Rock Island-Frisco said in discussing the subject: "Texas will this year have a first rate cotton crop. That crop is now in excellent condition, and all conditions throughout the southwest ern teritory are in good shape. While the year's crops as a whole will be fully equal to those of last year, we are now in much better shape to handle them than we were at this time last year, so that I do not look for any repetition of the troubles we IN THEJJCEAN.

Nearly Froze to Death Before Being Eescued. Hutchinson, Kan.. Aug. S. Mrs. Oscar Liggett, who, with her hus band, a brother of E. "W. Liggett, agent for the Rock Island railroad in Hutchinson, was a passenger on the ill fated Columbia, has written to her people telling of her terrible exper ience immediately after the collision.

DECREASE WILL BE EXORMOUS. Ex- Two Cent Fare Laws Wil! Hit chequers of Railroads. Chicago, Aug. 8. Passenger reve nues and the extent to which they will be reduced by the passage of 2-cent rate laws in a large number of states are matters now occupying a large de gree of attention from railroad finan ciers. It is estimated that revenues from this source of all the roads in the United States amount to not less than $500,000,000 a year. This is about one-third of the freight earnings and about one-fourth of the gross earnings of the roads. The normal increase in passenger earnings from year to year is about 7 per cent, when they are undisturbed by legislative interfer ence. The 2-cent laws, for a time at least, are expected to wipe out this increase "entirely if they do not cause an actual reduction in the revenues as compared with previous years. Just what the reductions will amount to may be bet ter understood when it is stated that the rates between Chicago and St. Paul have been cut 24 per cent by the changes in the law. while the rate from Chicago to Omaha and Kansas City has been cut 27 per cent. No other source of income may be ex pected to make good the loss suffered by these reductions. more facilities, more sidings, more terminals, more equipment, more power, and are in much better posi tion in every respect." TEXAS COMMISSION" FIRM. Refuses to Follow Direction of Court Regarding Passes. Austin, Tex., Aug. 8. Notwith standing the decision of Judge Kit tredge. of the district court of Harris county, who held that the right of contract in regard to railroad trans portation is beyond the power of the legislature to annul, the Texas rail road commission does not propose that this decision shall stand in its way in the matter, and has issued a general order to the railroads of Texas, their officers and employes, that the penal provisions of the anti free pass act will be enforced against all persons giving or receiving free transportation and free service except those expressly exempted. The commission further declares that prosecutions will be instituted in every county in the state through which a railroad runs the officers or employes of which give free trans portation in violation of the act. STRIKE BREAKERS AT WORK. AVHEAT RATES REDUCED. Commerce Commission Lops Off Ten Cents a Hundred Pounds. Washington. Aug. 8. An order was made by the Interstate commerce com mission in a decision handed down by Commissicner Harlan yesterday direct ing that beginning on September 15 next the through rate on wheat from points in Nebraska to Pacific coast ter minals should be not more than 65 cents per 100 pounds. The rate now in force on the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy railway is 75 cents per 100 pounds. The commission holds that any rate over the route in question in excess of 65 cents per 100 pounds is unreasonable. The order was made in the case of the A. J. Poor Grain company against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railway and others. BOILERMAKERS OX A STRIKE. One Was Started Yesterday on the Southern Pacific. Bakersfield, Cal., Aug. 8. A strike of the boilermakers, which affects all men employed in this capacity throughout the Pacific system of the Southern Pa cific railroad company, went into effect yesterday afternoon when less than 50 men employed as boilermakers in the local machine shops left their work in response to the general order from the Colorada Southern Is Importing Professionals From East. Denver, Aug. 8. Grand Master Mor risey of .ie Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen received a telegram last night from Labor Commissioner Neill at Washington but declined to give out the contents of the message. Superintendent Welsh of the Colorado and Southern left for Trinidad last night with 25 professional strike breakers to install them in the places of the strikers in the Southern division. Forty-five of these men imported from the east ar rived here yesterday and about the same number are expected tody, ac cording to Vice President A. D. Parker. Mr. Parker admitted that the men being Drougnt in to tane the strikers' places are professional strike breakers but would not say that they had been sud plied by John Farley, the noted strike breaker, of Chicago. Mr. Parker also denied that the Brotherhood men have been successful in winning away any or me men wno had taken the strikers place. McHAN'EY ON" SAFE SIDE.

Trirr7i UNBEATABLE EXTERMINATOR OF 15c, 2Sc. and 75c. boxes at Druggists. E.-S. WELLS, Chemist, Jersey City, N. J. we had gone by rail Oscar had been dreaming of a wreck and had dreamed he sent you folks a telegram and the dream wak ened him. He called me and told me it was dreadfully foggy and that the whistle was blowing so much. He had scarcely told me this, when the men came running past the doors calling, "Everybody to deck and life preservers." Tou can never imagine our feelings when we began to realize the ship was sinking. We got up and started to dress when someone said, "Back to your berths, everything all rignt.no danger, we suppose to pre vent a panic. So after this we took more -time, but in a few minutes we saw that people were rushing for the deck, so we ran. Oscar had on hi coat and trousers, and I had nothing but my underwear, my gown and my DiacK empire on. We Just got out on deck and were the last of about thirty people to get into a lifeboat that was lowered about half way, but not loosened from the ship, and it was never cut loose. It was not over thirty seconds from the time we were in the boat until it went down with the ship. I suppose it was Just as well that It was never cut loose from the ship for it was so, jam med with 'people it cduIdT'hevef .have ridden those waves, papa and mama. you Know tne size or those waves compared to a little lifeboat. We went under the water, and so close to the ship we wonder now why it did not suck us under, but I took hold of Oscar's hand and we came up together. I suppose it was the force with which we were thrown that made us go down so far, but it seem ed as though we could not hold our breath until we came up. Oscar strangled some, but I managed not to breathe. When we came up there was a big strong man clinging around Os car's neck. I know he was insane for a sane man would never had done as he did. He had a life preserver on coo. ana uscar naa none. We saw that we could not stay on top with that man clinging to us. and I begged of him to let loose, but he paid no at tention, but at last we succeeded in getting away. There were about 100 people floating around all close to gether, then the timber from the ship Degan to come out of course the wreckage, people and all went with the waves. Tou could do nothing but try to Keep on top of the wave. My! It was Just terrible to hear the shrieks and prayers of men and women as we drifted in the water, with no hopes whatever of being saved. The ship had sunk there was not even a lifeboat in sight, nothing to build up your hopes, and miles and miles from land. We could hear people beg glng others to help them and telling eacn otner gooa Dye it was terrible, Nothing could have been worse. After about three hours of floating in the water a lifeboat came near and asked if there were any more women; then he called for them to come but they had no oars. At last we succeed ed in getting over to them and were dragged in. Oscar didn't know when we were taken in to the boat. Something had struck him on the temple, and had I known his condition I suppose I could never have had the courage to keep up. We had Just gotten into this life boat when we saw a ship coming, and in a very few minutes they were car rying me down to the lower deck, trying to keep me from freezing. We were both nearly gone when we reach ed here. We supposed this ship was not damaged, but in a few minutes it was the same horrible cry for life preservers. This was the first time we were separated. They took me on the ship, and I don't know when they took Oscar on. But for two hours we didn't know each other as they had cut my preserver off me, and I didn't know what to do, with no one to help me, and I was so sick I could hardly hold my head up and was almost frozen from being in the water so long. The ship was a freight boat,- the one that ran Into us. On this freight boat 19 where we all suffered. It sank as far as it could, being all wooden, and of course it looked every minute as If it -was going to sink. The whistle grew fainter and fainter and the lights went out. Oh, it was sickening when the second ship began to go under. Oscar and I met about half an hour before we were rescued by the Elder, a safe ship that took, us to Eureka.. People here that have only read about this shipwreck and have gone through the earthquake say they would take the quake ten times over. It was horrible. I have nothing but my shoes, not a tnreaa of clothing, but we are so thankful to both get out alive we think nothing of what we lost. There is lots more to tell, but I can't tell it now. I am feeling much better; of course we are both bruised and sore, but we'll both be all right In a few days, and then start home. Lovingly, JERALDINE. ALL .ARE BIG. DAYS.

Organize a Fire Insurance Com pany of Their Own. LEVY ONLY AFTER LOSS Association Mutual and Mem bership Purely Voluntary. The Property Is Appraised at Three-Fourths of Its Talue. Lawrence, Kanl. Aug. 8. The Fire Insurance Trust holds no' terrors for the farmers living near "Worden, a small station in Douglas county. Th tillers of the soU in that particular section have organized a fire Insur ance company of their own, and will hereafter depend only upon- their neighbors for such assistance as may be necessary in case of loss. The association is mutual and membership is purely voluntary, withdrawals being freely allowed. It is called the Mutual Aid Association of Worden, and it specifically aims to pay to members the insured amount of their losses by fire, lightning and windstorms. The membership Is con fined to farmers, and even town prop erty owned by farmers Is excluded from benefits. A clerk, chosen at the yearly meet ing, acts as principal officer of the as sociation. He is to be secretary- of the meetings, keep the accounts, make payments, make assess ments upon members to pay losses, receiving for his trouble- three-tenths of a mill for every dollar's worth of property listed as insured. All property belonging to memDers is considered insured unless it be in town or be a vacant building that has been vacant for more than thirty days. The territory covered will be divided into districts, an appraiser being appointed in each district. This appraiser is to appraise all property in his district and report to the sec retary. He gets seven-tenths of a mill on all property appraised by him. When a loss occurs this appraiser selects two neighbors of the loser, who are also members of the asso ciation, and together they appraise the loss. Their report is made to the secretary, who proceeds to adjust the claim and pay it. The property is ap praised at three-fourths value, ana assessments to meet the loss are made pro rata on the property of all the other members. These assessments may be made only after a loss has actually occur red and may be sufficient only to cov er the loss and the slight cost per taining to its adjustment. This cost is principally small fees to the three who appraise the loss. The people at Worden and there abouts are notable for their enter prise in undertaking mutual benefits. A year or two ago they organized and now maintain a mutual tele phone exchange, which has grown to be a good business affair. The mem bers pay the actual cost of operation only. THE RACES AT ANTHONY.

FCLL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the 'Associated Press and receives the run aay telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for tho exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. Tha news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur- pose. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal amy during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any nddresa ot the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents .a month (v mail only). Address changed aa often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. Advance payment is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expense. "What, by the way, has become of that 15,000,000 conspiracy? One reform that has been overlook ad is one reducing the tip of the Pull man porter It is said that Governor Vardaman lost his home county. But that doesn't prove anything there are others. So far Miss Ida .M. Tarbell has also refrained from expressing any opinion About that 29 million dollar fine. "Pittsburg," says an exchange, 'ls trying to make a new reputation for Itself." Well, it must be admitted that Pittsburg needs it. Perhaps one reason why vte hear no more of this scheme for burning ashes Instead of coal is that nobody needs anything of that sort just now. TJp to the hour of going to press an unappreciatlve nation has not re sponded to Senator Foraker's Invita tion for it to urge him to become a presidential candidate. Senator Foraker refuses to believe that one William H. Taft is Ohio's only favorite son, .notwithstanding the assurance which the Ohio Republi can state committee gives that he Is. If any corporation has been receiv ing rebates from the railroads; it's a fairly safe guess that it quit the prac tice with great immediateness on reading the papers last Saturday af ternoon. Kentucky Republicans are inclin ing to Taft instead of to Fairbanks. Fairbanks ought to sidetrack that eocktail yarn and get a mint Julep tory started on himself if he wants to stand well with Kentucky. i Secretary Well house -of the State Horticultural society', estimates this year's apple crop at 4 V, per cent of a full crop. Now, if we knew what a full erop Is we would have some idea how many apples there will.be this year. Here Is another one: Mrs. Catherine GilHgan, who recently died In New Tork at the age of 107, ascribed her longevity to her habit of eating onions at every meal and her refusal to wor ry .about anything. She never tasted medicine. Governor Hoch has named Fred Lewis, of Marlon, as one of Kansas' representatives at the Tenessee Old Home-Coming In Nashville next month. More evidence that the gov ernor is giving all the good jobs to Marlon men. In referring to recent political vents in Ohio, the Los Angeles Ex press speaks of "Foraker's bad break." Yet Foraker's friends assure us that the endorsement of Taft by the Ohio state committee puts Taft out of the running for president. Fun ny how people will differ about these things! Vice President Archbold thinks It Is a remarkable coincidence that Judge Land Is' decision should be followed Immediately by a government report showing the tremendsus profits of the Standard. There are so many moves against the Standard these days, how ever, that it was impossible for the government to dodge all of them. Isn't this about the limit? Mar guerite Maglll has received an offer from some theatrical manager to go on the stage. Marguerite Magill Is the nineteen-year-old daughter of Fred Magill, who, with his newly-acquired bride, has just been taken from Cali fornia back to Clinton, III., to answer to the charge of poisoning his first wife. The daughter has thus acquired some notoriety, which has led to the theatrical offer. There Is no pretense that she is an actress. This gubernatorial boom that has keen started for Railroad Commis sioner Kanavel by his home paper, the Sedgwick Pantagraph, has its good nlntt, The man wjio Is regarded by his neighbors with esteem and vener ation majr well be proud. Some men cannot even be "mentioned" for an of fice except by going away from home where they are not known. Then when the news of the "mention" gets around to their neighbors, the latter smile a broad, fat grin. MR. COBURX'S REFUSAL. The fears of the friends and admirers of F. D. Coburn have been realized. Although he doubtless could be easi! elected governor of Kansas. Mr. Co- burn positively refuses to stand for hi gubernatorial boom. He not only makes it plain that he has no political ambi tion of any kind, but he further says positively that he would not accept Dolltical preferment if it should b thrust upon him. It was expected, of course, that man who would turn down a United States senatorciilp when it was his without even asking for it, might bav decided views about running for gov ernor. Those who knew him best le alized that his personal inclination would be to refuse the honor, but was hoped by many of his admirers that Mr. Coburn would consent, from a sense of duty, to accept the nomina tion if it were tendered him. No one can point out Mr. Coburn duty to him. however. He reserves the right to be the eole Judge of that himself He has a high sense of the duties cf citizenship, but he does not believe those duties demand of him the sacrl flee of his personal Inclinations to the extent of compelling him to be the center of the whirlpool of politics. It would have been a happy outcome of the present political turmoil in Kan sas had Mr. Coburn consented to his boom. His election as governor woul i have pleased everyone except ome of the professional politician and Kan sas would have had a genuine gover nor. It is well known, however, tha Mr. Coburn has a great dislike for the scheming and wire-pulling of politics, and it is possible that his health night not have stood the strain. He over worked hlmeelf in organizing the live stock exhibit at. the St. Louis expos! tion, and he could not be censured for protecting his health, even if it con: pelled him to turn a deaf ear ro the people who would make him governor. The Daily Drovers' Telegram, ox Kansas City, a loyal friend of the Kan sas secretary, evidently believed it Mr. Coburn's duty to accept the ofnci! of chief executive. "The trouble with the American system of government," say. the Telegram, "Is that too few gcoS men submit themselves for office, find so through party machinery an unde slrabte man is feisted upon the voter, who has the prerogative of voting for the machine candidate or staying away from the polls. The question is, does the honest man, the capable man, owe anything to the public? Isn't it tha duty of such men as Coburn, who have demonstrated their work, to ..take up the battle of the people and labor for them, even If unsolicited by the wire pulling cohorts of the professional poli ticians? Coburn would make a good governor, but you might as well ex pect an elephant to lay humming bird eggs as to look for his voluntary norai nation by the men who are oiling the machine." But Mr. Coburn has spoken and his real friends must acquiesce in hia re fusal, for they know that he moans Just what he says. And If entering politics would Jeopardize his health, no real friend would ask him to make the sacrifice, -even on the plea of political duty. For the good of the state It is to be regretted that circumstances were not Euch as to lead Mr. Coburn to accept the responsibilities of the gubernatorial office. His high ideals of public ser vice, hia remarkably good Judgment, and his tremendous executive ability would have given Kansas an adminis tration unexcelled. UNRECOGNIZED CRISES. In notins the career of Justice A. W. Benson, the Salina Journal points out that the turning point in men's lives are often Insignificant in them selves and seem trivial at the time. Judge Benson, whose recent appoint ment to the supreme bench of the state fulfills an ambition of years" standing, would never have attained It, nor would he have been a United States senator for the brief period that he was, had he not put aside his per sonal inclinations and obeyed the sum mons of his neighbors to represent them in the legislature of 1908, a com paratively insignificant service for a man of Judge Benson's qualifications. Judge Benson settled In Ottawa some thirty years ago and was elevated to the district bench, where he served for twelve years and could have re mained longer had he consented to do so. He had a quiet ambition to serve on the supreme bench. It is said that at one time he could have had the nomination for congress in the Second district in place of E. H. Funston, but he refused to consider it. "In 1J04." relates the Salina Jour nal. a controversy grew up in the legislative district in which Judge Benson lived over the nomination of a candidate for the leglslature.and with out the Judge's knowledge or consent, and apparently without any premedi tation on the part of the convention, he was nominated for the legislature. When he heard of It. ha promptly de clined, but the convention had ad journed and nothing was done by the county committee to fill the vacancy, and so when the time came to certify the nominations, that the names might appear on the ballot, he was persuaded to permit his nomination to stand and he was elected, much against his will. "In the legislature that followed, he showed such marked ability and ren dered such valuable service to the state that he attracted unusual atten tion and received much favorable com ment from all the newspapers. Gov ernor Hoch. in one of his effervescent moods, publicly declared that if a vacancy occurred on the supreme bench he would fill it by the appoint ment of Judee Benson. The vacancy occurred, but Benson was not ap pointed, Silas Porter being named. The second vacancy occurred, but Benson was not chosen. Judge Graves ot Em poria being favored. Then Senator Burton resigned and Benson was greatly surprised, after Coburn had refused the appointment, to receive a telephone message from Governor Hoch tendering the position of United States senator, which he accepted, though he frequently stated to his Intimate friends that he would much rather have received the appointment as a member of the supreme court than as United States senator.' "If he had persisted in his refusal to go to the legislature he would now have been practically unknown to the people of the state and would not have been either senator or supreme court justice. The real crisis in his life was the convention that practically forced him to go to the legislature. How lit tle did he realize the results of that nomination." The crises In men's lives ofttlmes come at unsuspected moments. Old Opportunity Is frequently disguised beyond recognition. It often turns out, however that doing the duty near est at hand Is the surest way of making the best of one's career. JOURNAL ENTRIES Trusts are a great deal like coyotes, There is a law intended to kill off the coyotes, but they are increasing in num ber right along. The optimist recalls that these hot days are good for the corn, but very few ox us ate optimists to that extent. Perhaps you have wondered where all the goats come from, who butt into your affairs. Well,- an Ottawa man is feeding a bunch of 600 to .turn loose on the market. An admirer of Bill Doolittle threatens to stop his paper unless this depart ment stops ridiculing Bill. Yet Bill him self Is a firm friend of this department. If only his name gets into print, Bill doesn't care for anything else. It takes a mighty smart man to cut any ice these days: There isn t any ice. If 3 L JAYUA WKER JOTS If the war scare can be held in check for another month, Tom Cordry thinks perhaps an early frost will kill It. Out at Grainfleld a farmer harrows a strip sixty feet wide each time he goes across the field. An engine does it.

The Lawrence Journal says: "To peka is excited over a mysterious pa per called the 'Red Rag." The Jour nal Is color blind.

The Holton clergymen are planning a revival. "There seems, says f rank Jarrell, "to be no avenue of escape left for the six Holton men who don't be: long to the church.". Joe Brlstow demands that the gov ernment take proper precautions to see that no Jap surreptitiously takes a photograph and makes drawings of Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson. "If Prof. Snow is not content to quit with the 15,000 new bugs he has Just brought to the State university," says Walter Johnson, "he can doubtless find out where he can find a good many more by consulting any picnic party." A Jewell county woman who had been spending two weeks in Colorado, discovered after starting home that she had lost her pocketbook contain ing $200. The wonder is how anybody ever had $200 left after spending two weeks in Colorado. Old Dad Lummax, the heavyweight observer of the Vinland Vine, observes this: "These hot days we think that Chicago Professor who contends that children should not wear clothes un til thy are ten years old has placed the limit entirely too young." Hutchinson offers to give Its Chau tauqua to Fort Scott next year. Hutch inson finds it Impossible to work up as much enthusiasm over a good lec turer as it can over a man who can shut out nine men out of every ten when he gets In the pitcher's box. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. We have noticed that there Is some thing the matter with everybody. ChansrinT your banker Is a? delicate a matter as changing your milkman. The only man for whom a preacher has to take a back seat is a very new bridegroom. As a matter of fact. Isn't It true that they are the happiest who never have time to think? The men are as uncomfortable in the presence of agents as women are In the presence of milliners. What has become of the ola-iashion- ed man who said that a horre able to roll over twice was worth J200? The love story that breaks off before It reaches the altar is usually the most interesting to the neighbors, as much as they enjoy a wedding. We are sorry there are not stores where groceries, dry goofis, clothing, meat, etc., may be had free; but how about the rights of the merchants? Church White says nothing knocks him off his feet, now that he has reach ed an age of discretion, except to De called "uncle," or "grandpa." No matter who Is to- blame, when the women hear of another woman who cooks over a wood fire at this season, they decide s "he has a mean husband. w insue th5 Globe a little earlier than usual this afternoon; there is a traveling man in town, and we are anxious to sit down with him, and hear his jokes. The attention of the Equal Suffrag ists Is called: When a farmer can't get hands, he sets his daughter to come Into the fields, but when a woman can't get help In cooking food for the threshers, does rhe draft her sons? For the Lancaster Literary society to debate: Would a country mat was set tled by men who rode Into it In auto mobiles, show as rapid development and progress as the country shows that was settled by metj who. rode into it in ox wagons? r- It isn't the financial costthat leads men to refuse to let their wives go away on trips., as tne women imagine: It is the aggrieved feeling a wife is bound to acquire. If her "husband writes for her to stay away longer, she doesn't liko It, and if he urges her to come home she doesn't like it There fore, thoughtful husbands have decid ed not to let their wives go, j KANSAS COMMENT THE WOMEN. If there wer no women, men would have no object in life; their mustaches would cease-to interest them; they would not care a Chinaman whether tneir collars were ironed or not; they would have nobody to nurse them when they had tha toothache, or to keep them from believing they were going i-u uie wnen an old-fashioned stomach ache had the grip upon them. There would he nobody to take for ice cream, and no small edition of flesh and blood to hug. There would be no body to fight against being kissed and then take to it as natural as a cat does to cream. Most Important of all, there would bo nobody to write against, to complain of and to love with all your heart and soul. Without her man would never get to heaven and without tnem tney would never have a taste of the other place on earth. So If man has any sense whatever, he will put ins arm around the woman he is the xondest of, thank the Lord for her, and wonder, as she does, what In the world he would without her. Spring mil new ura, WHAT IT DEPENDS ON. You will find that the sensible, lady like girl who lives in the country will be a sensible, lady-like girl in the city. Likewise, the sensible, lady-like girl from the city will be the same thing in the country. But the silly simple ton in the country will be a silly sim pleton in the city, and vice versa. It depends on the condition of the head In either city or country. Osborne Farmer. REVIVALS. The assertion that Bishop Vincent has declared against the old-fashioned revival, Is a mistake. The thing the bishop objects to is the new-fashioned revival as carried on by some of the sensational so-called evangelists of the present day. The old-fashioned revi val produced by fervent touching, spiritual sermons is what the good bishop contends for. We believe the bishop is right. Some of the modern revivalists are. to the ministry about what the yellow newspapers are to Journalism. Holton Recorder. LUCKY SCHMITZ.

A distressing occurrence which hn engaged local Dublic miAntLn r. the past week illustrates very forcibly the truth of the inexorable Scriptures which ueciare mat .as a man soweth so shall he reap." In all the sorrow ful tangle of tears, passion and ambi tion It would be comforting to read me nomeiy soiace or nope, the com pensating condolences of dntv dnne. But while death hides all blots be- neatn tne green mantle of the a-rave. it is neither necessary nor good that e snouia snut our eyes to the lesson oi it an. In a new grave out In Elmwood cemetery sleeps a woman, and sneed- lng on its way to an eastern cemetery is the body of a man. Two grave stones will point like fingers to the in escapable verity that "whatsoever ye sow that shall ye also reap." It is not necessary to believe that the woman was tne more to blame; she probably was not. But It is very certain that sne reaped very much as she chose to sow. She sowed ambition and she reaped disappointment: she sowed nas- slon and she reaped tears: and wheth er she died at the hand of another or by her own hand, death has ended prematurely a life that might have been put to higher and nobler uses. If from her life and her death and from the whole sad story the right lesson Is learned by others, then per- naps tne unhappy sacrifice is not in vain. It Is not a new lesson: it is be ing taught every day, but not always learned. In our superior wav. In these davs of "higher criticism" we smile at the simplicity" of Eugene Ware's wash erwoman, "singing of a friend who will keep her to the end." But a simple" faith like that is wiser than all the lore of worldliness; Its music has a saving grace and rings true with the eternal verities, while the song anl laughter of "the great white way" sound empty with hollowness and ends so sadly, often In the sob of despair or the requiem of dishonor. All is not vanity, Solomon to the contrary. There are ambitions that are worthy. The stage is not neces sarily the door whereat those who en ter must leave hope and virtue, for it is adorned by many blameless wives and mothers. Social distinction and the desire for personal adornment are not sinful, but a woman's soul Is too heavy a price to pay for them. Station is largely a matter of accident. even 'while it Is true that we are to a great extent masters of our own environment. It would be well if no woman had to be a washerwoman, perhaps, but to be an honest washerwoman Is not the most hopeless or undesirable lot In life. Bet ter the washerwoman with her faith from which she reaps hope, with her hope from which she reaps happiness. with her virtue from which she reaps the rewards of conscience, with her busy industry from which she reaps contentment better this and these than the sad harvest of heartache, de spair, dishonor and death. For It lies with ourselves. As we sow, that shall we also reap. Kansas City Journal. THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.

A deaf old gentleman dined -wifh a family where grace was always said. When the guests were seated the host bowed his head, and began to repeat the accustomed verse In a subdued, reverent tone. "Eh? What's that?" demanded the deaf old gentleman who sat hesirin him. The host smiled patlentlv. and Demi again, In a louder, more denreeatorv voice. "Speak a little louder: I don't catch what you say," the old gentleman nar- slsted. A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrassment, raised his voice and repeated the verse. The deaf old gentleman did his best to hear, but failed. He placed his hand upon his host's arm. "What did you say?" he demanded. irascibly. The host cast him an angry glance. "D n it, I'm saying grace." he snapped. Harper's Weekly. Old Fashioned Oratory.

I'll never forgit the peroration of his impassioned phillippic In the Clay Bull case about the poison- ed cat. it ran like this here." The little, thin old man rose, reared back in defiant attitude, and shouted in the cracked treble of age: "Restin' upon the couch of republl can liberty as I do, covered with the blanket of constitutional panoply as T am, and protected by the aegis of American equality as I feel myself to be, I despise the buzzln of the per fesslonal Inseck who has Just sot down, and defy his attempt to penetrate w-ith puny sting the interstices oi me lm pervious coverin'." Self-Sacraflce. President Powers; of the National Association of Baseball Leagues, said lrwnlcally of the action of a certain club in a dispute: "The canceling of that date was a splendid piece of self-sacrifice. I can only compare it to the action of the man with the wooden leg. "This man went to spend his vaca tion at Atlantic City. He was fond of bathing, but sensitive about his arti ficial limb. Hence he kept out of the inviting water all through his stay. "Yet one day, when a beautiful "girl who had snubbed him got caught" by the undertow and was being carried to her doom, this generous man, sitting down hurriedly on tne sand, un screwed his wooden leg and threw it to her, thus saving her life.

When alone the bird will not attack. Sup ported by a flock of friends', however, oftn numbering several thousand, the bird will seek out his hereditary foe and give battle. Pittsburg Dispatch. When Do Wo Dream? There has been much discussion as to whether one dreams only on falling to sleep and during the act of waking up or whether dreams take place at any time during sleep. While not defi nitely determined as yet. the evidence seems to be rather In favor of the view that one may dream at any time dur ing the night, or the whole night through. Dreaming Is common to per fectly healthy persons, and In Itself is no evidence of disorder. Dr. Fred erick Peterson, in Harper's. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.J Laziness If often mistaken for pa tience. There Is nothing more unsatisfactory than an unkissed kiss. No man is as dangerous as he thinks some woman thinks he Is. If a man sleeps In church he doesn't necessarily dream of heaven. When the star boarder marries the landlady he becomes a fixed star. Perhaps faint heart ne'er won fair lady because It Is partial to brunettes. When a mother tells the truth about her children she whispers It to herself. Many a man would rather lie when asked for information than say "I don't know." When a married man doesn't find fault with his breakfast it's a sign that his wife Is away from home. Men may be as deceitful as women In some things, but no man ever pre tends to be having a good time when he isn't. A woman's egotism has reached the limit if when she walks out b.e imag ines that all the men going in the same direction are following herw THE EVENING STORY Bogner's Lesson. (By W. F. Bryan.) Up ahaad a twinkling lantern, swung from the running gear of "the gov Inor's" light buggy, marked out the way. At the crossroads the light turned sharply to the left, and Ben xjugner sKiuiuily threw his fcur-horse team around the -corner and the pole wagon rattled and bumped along the new pike. Like the children of Israel, Qulntard Brothers' colossal circus and mastodon menagerie followed a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. In the night time the swinging lan tern was the pilot and in the daylight the smoke from Gil Quintard's hugh cigar served a similar purpose. The new road had recently been re paired by the simple process of shov eling the sides into the middle and letting the passing wagons bat It to a level. The heavilv loaded wagon lurched from side to side, and Ben stopped humming "No Wedding jieiia and began to curse, not loudly, but terventiy, th road committee oi Blashford township. The other wasrons. following in close Older, fared even worse, for the lighter loading increased the Hitching, and presentlv from the, rear of the carry all a woman sliDDed out and ran ahead to where Bogner was still explaining to himself the tortures he would like to inflict unon the men who naa mussed up the road. "Give me a hand. Ben." she called Bogner, without pulling up, leaned over and held out his hand. The gin grasped it at the wrist, while his fin gers closed about her slender arm. "Up." She gave a spring and swung Into place beside him on the broad seat. "This is the worst this season," she said, with a laugh, as she looked over the road now gleaming as red as the eastern sky. "None of us could slnen in the wagon, so I &lirned out to ride with you." "Why didn't you go to Tony?" he asked ungraciously. "You'll have that riaern Jcnlfinor me vet. "Pshaw," she demurred, with an ad niirinn: elance at the huge muscles that showed under the gauze shirt, "Vmi onulri break Tony in two." "Mebhe." he assented, as he glanced over his shoulder to where Tony As- pirato, their trapezlst and wire walker, orove the first seat wagon. Every one worked with the Qulntard show. Bog ner was the principal rider and did the hnvv iueeling. to say nothing of a ma erica 1 act in the concert. Bessie Seeback also did a riding act and worked with Tony in the double tra neie. besides doing a musical act for the concert. In addition, the men had to help raise the tent and drive the wagons on the jumps, while the wo men performers cookea. Thoueh he was pleased at the pref erence Bessie showed for him, Bogner was none the less uneasy. He had no intention of marrying, and he knew that Tonv worshiped the ground the girl walked! on, but Bessie preferred Ben ana was not Dacawara in display ing her choice. She clunj to his arm now as they bumped over the rough road and drank deep fresh morning air. "Isn't it splendid?" she asked as she looked across the green fields to where the red flush of the sky was slowly turning to GTOltf. "Pretty fair," assented Ben. Down In his heart he loved the long, quiet rights and the slow-coming dawn. It was one of the things that held him to a wagon show whet he could have traveled with a railroad organization with a sleeper berth Instead of the wagon seat. "Looks like it's going to be a good day." "Some dav I want to come to a place like this and live," she said with a sigh. "I want to have a nice little farm with chickens and a horse and all that sort of thing." "And you'd eat your heart out with lonesomeness," he concluded. "You're always spelling things," she said as sho drew away as far as the seat would permit. "I never saw a man like you." "Go to Tony," he urged. "He's got the gift of gab. Ho can talk as fool ish as you can." "He talks only about himself," she said with a shrug of the shoulders. Bogner grinned. He knew very well that she would not go. "I wish you had his appreciation of things." Bogner laughed his slow laush and handed her his pipe to fill. "I guess one poet Is enough with a one-ring circus," he said siowly. "Tony's death on poetry." He struck a match and held It over the bowl, puffing until the white clouds surrounded his head as with a halo. "All the same." he went on. "Tony s a nrettv decent chap, and he's dead gone on you. I ain't evr goln' to get married." "I'm not corx!ng you to," he said with a toss of her head. "I guess I cin cet along without either you or Tonv." "You don't seem to be able to get alcnir without me," he said, with a t buckle. The girl glanced at his face for a irement, and then, without a word, she leaped to the ground, and when the carryall came past slipped Into that vehicle, disdaining tne invitation ..n-juted at her by Tony. Bogner tried to convince himself that ho ws glad she wis gone, hut somehow the bright dawn yrew gray to him and he puffed moodily at his pipe. He did not love Bessie. That tort of thing was fooll.shnss, but he did enjoy her companionship In the esrly mcrr.lng, and as the days went by and she came no more ne grew mc rnan and dlsnirited. Ev-m '.hen he could n jt diagnose his trouble and dosed hlmsflf with a pot ent nostrum in the belief that his liver was out of order. Bessie was coldly polite when they met at the table or passed each other going in or out of the ring, but tnat was an. xnere were no more little chats while the sun climbed up from its bed of night. The awakening came ten days later. It was Sunday, and after reaching the new show lot and getting the tent up there was nothing to be done but look after the stock until the morrow. Seme of the naen had gone out to look at the town, but most of them were lvlng m the grass on the shady side of the tent watching the boats slip past In the canal on the bank of which thev were pitched. Bogner felt thirsty and went into the dressing tent to get a drink of water. He was stand ing ber.ldo the pall when he chanced to look through on the other side. Bessie was coming back from church and a couple of the town boys were following her In an effort to at tract her attention. As she reached the lot one of them stepped forward and caught her about the waist. There were a dozen others sitting by the fence watching the circus people, but thav mnl no effort to help Bessie. and Bogner went bounding forward. Just as he came up tne raaauer uc-r-.oHet in stealing a kiss, but the next moment he measured his length upon the ground and Bogner stood over him waiting for him to rise. The other men mpmug jorw w their townsman's assistance and fell upon Bogner, bearing him to his knees but not before he had raised the old cry of -"Hey Rube" and others of the circus crew had come running around the corner of the tent. .Ten minutes later a dozen badly thrashed youths were stealing from the lot mouthing loud threats of ven geance and Ben was kneeling beside Bessie, who had fainted In the excite ment. A dash of water brought her around and sne smiled up into the white face bending over her own. "I'm all right," she whispered. "I was Just scared, not hurt." "I'm hurt," he answered back. "I'm hurt in the heart, Bess. I didn't know It until that young fool tried to kiss you, but then I was wise that x loved you. Can you ever forgive me for be ing such a brute, dear? You were all so much a part of my life that I didn't know I loved you. Will you forgive me, dear? Will you always ride with me through life?" "After the way you treated me, I don't see how you can expect me to say yes, she said faintly. "I don't," he admitted with de spair. "But I'm going to," she added, as Bogner turned away. "I think you've had your lesson." "I guess I have," declared Ben. "I won't need to have It rubbed In. neither." (Copyrighted, 1907, by M. M. Cunningham.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTJRNAE-THURSDAY EVENING; AUGUST 8, 1907. THE LIEISPASSED Attorneys Foster and Larimer in Police Investigation Clash, Latter Charges Former With Acting in Bad Faith. IT C03IES TO AN END. Committee Holds That Charges Were Groundless. Aniusins Revelations Made by a Dealer in Bottles. A lively tilt between opposing attor neys was the only Incident which served to throw a dash of excitement and pepper Into what was otherwise a flat morse! of scandal. The charges against the chief of police, Wlnfield Eaton, after the testimony was heard were dismissed by the police commit tee of the council. The committee came to a quick de cision in an executive session following the hearing of a number of witnesses procured both by H. A. Dusenberry, discharged policeman, who filed the charges, and Wlnfield Eaton, chief of police. The committee did not deem the charges strong enough. Only the former friendship between Attorneys Frank Foster and H. G. Larimer, who were on the opposite sides of the case, kept them from mixing. "Do you remember the circumstance of a load of stuff that was taken back to the police station that Mr. Stahl replevined?" asked Foster of Chief Eaton. "I would like to make a plain state ment about that." said the chief. "I would like to have you, Mr. Eaton," said Foster. "You are not asking that question '-.good faith," shouted H. G. Larimer. one cf the attorneys for the chief of police. "Do you say that I am not asking that in good faith? said Foster. "I do," came back the answer. "Then I say that you are telling an untruth," almost shouted Foster across the council chamber to Lari mer. "You are not asking that In good faith. I repeat It," said Larimer. Witnesses and spectators alike ex pected something in the way of a physical encounter between the two men. but both men dropped their tenseness of expression and relapsed to the monotony of cross examination of witnesses. In the beginning of the hearing H. A. Dusenberry withdrew his first charge, that he had been discharged from the force without a hearing.- The committee permitted him to withdraw the charge. Later in the hearing H. G. Larimer protested against accepting a withdrawal of the charge. "If the man has lied in one thing he has lied in all." said Larimer. Practically all of the charges hinged about the disposition of the property confiscated by the police in Joint raids. It was claimed that the chief instead of ordering his men to destroy, ernpiy beer bottles and cases, had sold them. That he had appropriated some of the property to his own personal use. The police committee did not appear to care so much about this as to discover whether the chief had in reality treat ed certain persons to the liquor cap tured, as it was proved the money went into a fund to use at the police station. George Dusenberry, father of H. A. Dusenberry, and E. B. Chapman, a reporter on the Capital, gave testi mony tending to show this while Eaton entered a denial backed by members of the police force. The chief of po lice acknowledged taking an ice chest captured in a Joint raid out to his own house for his private use, and also permitting Frank Snyder, street com missioner, to use one also. He claim ed, however, that the ice chests were of small value and would be returned to the police station when the court should order them destroyed or If re plevined. A shout of merriment swept the room when C. H. Dyal. a dealer In junk who had purchased several loads of emntv beer bottles and cases from the police station, testified that he had received a letter from a brewery stat ing that they would not purchase any more empty beer bottles because it simply whetted the appetite of Kan sans to raid joints and capture more bottles. The "kitty fund" was given a thor ough airing. The "kitty fund" it was stated during the testimony had been in existenco for years. It was con tributed to from the sale, of property taken by the police in raids and was used for various purposes. To help prisoners who needed financial aid. to buy meals for people who were picked up and who needed assistance' of that character, as a fund from which the police might borrow when they got short and also to furnish them with bhoe shining supplies. "How long has this 'kitty fund exist ed? was asked or t-nton. "'I understand for a great many years." "How much is in the fund?" "About 40 or 45 dollars was collected to the best of my knowledge. I know because the Jailers take care of it." "Do you remember pouring cue sonv; blackberry brandy and giving it to a reporter by the name of Chapman to drink; that he remarked It was pretty good stuff and said that he would like to have some more?" "I did not." "'Did not Arch Bailey take a drink out of a bottle when, you were mak ing a raid?" continued Frank Foster. "I had charge of the bottle. It was beir.g placed in the wagon. He was coming by at the time and helped him self and I told him that I expected to ubpoena him as a witness." i any time given trie Keys to the basement where the confis cated liquor is stored to Mr. Wilson, the police court prosecutor?"

I did not." "Do you remember what became of an ice chest that was taken from Hoss feld's place?" "Frank Snyder is using It tempor arily. That will be brought back." Eaton was then asked about the pro-! perty that was brought back by drug gists which former Chief of Police Stahl had replevined. He stated that the property was dumped in the back vard. He stated that he refused to be come responsible for it and told Stahl sc. "There were about two cases of beer and one case of whisky and a trusty got a hold of some of the whisky and got drunk, dian t ner "I don't know anything about It. didn't- have anything to do with the property."

"I received no money for them. 1 told the defendant in the case where these things were if he cared to re plevin them and he said it was all ''Do you know of any of this stuff be'ng diverted to the use of a joint or any other illegal purpose?" Io sir." Mr. 'Eaton said that E. B. Stotts, a reporter, got several glasses at the station. E B Chapman was then called. "Did the chief of police ever pour out a glass of blackberry brandy and give it to you?" "The chief poured out a glass full presumably for me. I drank it." "Did vou ever get anything to drink at any other time?" "Yes, I think i aia. i,."Dld 3'ou ever carry any away frorn there?'' "Yes, I believe I did." "Were the officers present at the time?" "Well, they were around there. We were emotviner the beer into the sew er and I helped and tasted a little of it now and then. C. H. Dyal, a Junk dealer, wno naa purchased two wagon loads of beer bottles and cases, staiea tnai ne naa not sold any to brewers. He said that the chief had talked to him about sell ing some beer pumps but that he re fused to buy them because they had not been ordered to be destroyed by the court. George Dusenberry. father of the man bringing the charges, appeared. He was asked to relate the incident where some blackberry brandy had been presented to Chapman. Dusen berry stated that he was present at the time. "The chief told Chapman that he had some fine brandy. The chief took a glasa and poured out some and gave it to him. Chapman said It was fine stuff. The chief told us it was there and Chapman helped himself. He of fered me some and I took it home. I never touched it and I don't know what the stuff is like. Next day the chief asked where the jug was and said that he wanted some himself." Continuing the cross examination Dusenberry said with reference to the Arch Bailey Incident, "I swear positively that the chief took the jug and said, 'Here Archie, take a drink". Bailey took a drink and then the chief said, 'I'll make a witness out of you,' and Bailey said, 'You can't It's mighty poor whisky.' Officer Judkins stated that he saw Achie Bailey help himself to a bottle and that the chief had not given the bottle to Bailey. Jailer Parcells stated that the "kitty fund" has been in existence for a great many years. That ho never saw the chief giving away liquor or appro priate any. A signed statement of Jailer Kinney was read denying that he he.d ever seen any of the matters charged against Eaton and that he did not think -they were true. A statement to the same effect was written by the patrolmen and signed by all of the force except Sergeant Ross and George Dusenberry. Relative to some pictures which Dusenberry intimated that Patrolman Kellar had taken home and then re turned, Parcells stated that he did not know of any having been taken away, that he saw the pictures at the station after they were taken In a raid. In conclusion Frank Foster attack ed the "kitty fund". "I don't like that 'kitty fund'." said he. "I don't think it should be placed there as a temptation. That property certainly belongs to somebody. If to the city it should be disposed of. If to some body else it should be destroyed. I don't think that these charges are un founded in the least when these thtnrs aro going on. It may appear trifling and all that but the tendency is that that fund will be productive of scandal. "If f r. Eaton gave away that liquor he is not entirely blameless if what the witnesses say is true and the pre ponderance of the evidence is against him." H. G. Larimer answered: "Not a bit of scandal has been connected In all these vean with the 'lrittTr tnnef Mr. Foster, by his own speech, shows that hi. n i .1 4ai9 1 V II. UWIl WFlglll.. I T don't think Mr. Foster himself be- neves that Wlnfield Eaton poured out the liquor and gave it. And for that reason I said that he did not ask It In food faith when he asked Mr. Eaton."

Heuer of the engineer corps, U S A., retired, has practically com pleted the plan for the comprehensive improvement of San Francisco water front and the building of 180 modern wharves, which will give sixty miles of berth, room for vessels engaged in the commerce of "this port. Col. Heuer's work has been done under the direction of the merchants' com mittee, which has undertaken the task of providing a complete plan for the development of dock3 under mod ern principles. An Important part of the plan, which includes wharves from the Presidio to the county line, is the pro posed Islais Creek basin, for which a bond election has already been au thorized. It provides for a unique inner harbor with interior wharves between Islais Creek and the Indian basin. The Western Pacific owns a large tract of land immediately north of this basin, and the Southern Pa cific has considerable holdings on the creek above. In the last river and harbor bill there Is an appropriation for the investigation of the Islais crek with the view of determining the practicability of dredging to a navigable depth for one mile inland.

People are always looking for a Modi! Husband. I know one. His name is Ed Bilimek. and he lives on North Third street. And what is still more un-u- tal. he is only 27 or 28 years old, an age of which not a great deal is ex pected when the Model Husband ques tion comes up. The other Model Hus bands I have heard cf have been up wards of 60, or dead. While I have known Ed Bilimek a long time, my principal knowledge of nim is due to the fact that we are neigh bors, living on opposite sides of the street. My house Is located on- higher grouna tnan nis, ana l Spend my even ings on my porch. He wasn't a particularly Model Boy. I knew him then, too, for he has always uvea in my neignDornood. I never said anything about it befeore. but one Hal loween night he turned-over my smoke nouse, ana l paia z to have it fixed. know he did It because Jess Henderson a darky boy who accompanied him, af- terwaras worKea ror me, and turned State's Evidence. But let the dead past bury its dead. Ed Bilimek is a Model Husband now, and I Cheerfully pay him tribute. He works for the S-s company, and every evening, at 6:30. rain or shine, he comes home from work, usually accom paniod by his brother Ioe,. Then he dis appears into the house, and eats his supper. At 7:20, he reappears, smoking a pipe, and goes to work around the house. If he doesn't beat carpets, he nxes the xence, or works in the garden or puts new wire on a screen door or window. Always something: he is neve idle around the house- And he is al ways contented and cheerful; no one has ever heard him growl. He never leaves home at night, except when there are fireworks at the park; on these occa sions, he helps shoot them off. And I think, although I am not positive, that every Sunday he 'tends one of the gates at the baseball park. But beyond these two dlversious, which earn him a little extra, he is always at home, when not at work. He is a great big fellow, and I think they want him at the ball park to scare the boys, although the boys wouldn't be afraid ft him if they knew him as well as I do. Ed Bilimek has a little son, and Dr. Shelly, who found the boy In a hol low tree, before he was a day old. says he is the smartest child in town. This child, now 2V4 years old, is tough, but the father Is such a kindly man that when the boy runs off, he is whipped with a weed. And, as every boy knows. it doesn't hurt to be whipped with a weed. When Ed Bilimek is working around the yard, in the evening, and the little boy bawls because he is mad, the fath er pays no attention to him, but goe9 ahead with his chair mending, or screen painting, or carpet beating, but if the little boy hurts himself and cries, the father picks him up, and says. Well, well, well, and carries him into the house, and in the house is al ways a doctor and friend who can fix uo little boys when they are hurt. This doctor and friend is Mrs. Bilimek, who is usually as busy as her husband, and who, In addition to Edmund, the little boy, has a baby girl, 6 months old, to care for. The baby's name is Mary Barbara, for her aunt and grand mother. And I may say, in passing, that while Edmund, the little boy, is a bandit, Mary, tne oaoy gin, is a saint. r. Sometimes-, from my front porch. I note that the Bilfmek kin call at the house opposite jwery and that -Mrs, Bilimek is compelled to stop her work. and talk to them, -'Women are always expected to be politer than men; any way, they are, lor lul. Bilimek, a Moaei Husband, keeps on working when kin call. At long Intervals, neighbors, as well as kin. call at the Bilimek house, opposite my porch, where I sit in the evening, but the Model Husband goes ahead with his tinkering, whatever it may be. Once, when the front yard was crowded with kin and company, the Model Husband disappeared. Had he fallen, at last, and become frivolous? was so much Interested that I went over to see. I found the Model Hus band on a back porch, alone, smoking, and perfectly good-natured. But it was too dark to work to advantage. so It didn't matter much. Regularly, every night at 8:4 5, the Bilimek babies become sleepy, -and then begins the process of putting them to bed. By this time there Is a ight in their sitting room, and from my dark porch I can see the babies put to bed. The mother takes Ed mund. the boy, and he cries because he wants -to go to sleep without being undressed. The Model Husband holds Mary, the baby, and bobs her up and down on his knee. If the baby cries, the Model Husband says, "There, there, there," and sings to it, but much as I admire him, I can t say he sings very well. Usually he seems to hink he might as well be doing some- thinp. so he takes oft the baby's clot! "3 until it has nothing on except a knit shirt and a didle. Finally, Mrs. Bilimek comes and -gets the baby. whereupon the Model Husband lights his pipe, puts his feet on the table. and reads the evening paper. This al ways happens at exactly 9:05. At ex actly 9:45, he yawns a good, comfort able yawn, stretches nis arms back or his head, and goes over to the water bucket after a drink. Two minutes later, he closes the door, and puts out the light,-and, for the rest of the night, the Bilimek house is as black as a stack of black cats. I have heard Mrs. Bilimek say that once she puts her children to bed. that is the last of them until morning. I have also heard her say, "I don't know what I've ever done to desen'e as good a husband as Ed. Bilimek," and I great ly admire her for saying it. The next morning at 6:80, the Model Husband goes to his work, and I have often heard it said around the gas office that he is an extra good man. -Drake Watson in the Atchison Globe. At the Air Dome.

A cat tak en from here to Enid two months ago appeared at its old home in this city this week,- not much the worse for its long overland Journey. The little animal was the house pet of Mr. and Mrs. J- C. Burbank; who moved to that place about June l, taking the cat with them. Their first few days there were in-a boarding house, and they tried to keep her shut up until they moved into their own house. But the cat got out and away, and after due search was given up as lost. The little creature made her way over un known roads, more than a hundred miles back to her birthplace and old home. .The strange part of it is that the cat was taken to Enid on the train and so had nothing but Instinct a "feelln"'as" it were for the di rection' in which to travel. WHERE FASHION COMES FROM. Discoveries of New Colors and Shades Made in Gardens and In Fields. For. weeks and months past many acute scientific minds have been hard at work in the attempt to solve prob lems of which my lady is to have the benefit this season. Not only must shapes, as a man would call them, change, but shades of colors too, and each season there must be some ab solute novelty. Now, it is a difficult thing to find shades of color that have not been in use before: but thev must be found, and every spring bales of material are delivered to fashionable houses all in the new tints that tne scientists have evolved during the preceding months, which forthwith become the fashionable favorites. The discovery of these tints in the first place and their -commercial pro duction in the second are a very long and expensive business. For the most part the persons who make this tneir business eo to nature ior tneir laeas, and the whole thing was explained to me in close detail some time ago by the head of one of the ladies' firms with whom I happened to come in contact. The man who has the commission to find a new color wanders in gar dens arid over fields and moors for the sole purpose of finding such. There are suggestions to him at every turn but for one reason or another they are rejected time after time, until at length, after much weary wandering, his eye lights happily on the looked- for-tlnt. Perhaps it was in a garden that he found it. and then he has very likelv davs of work in sitting beside it while it is still growing, alive ana in its fresh beauty, and imitating it as nearly as he can in artificial colors. All the pigments and cnemicais or an artist's shop and a large laboratory are brought into service, and when the color is really there on a piece of paper or cardboard it Is borne off in triumph to Bond street or Oxford street, where it Is duly approved and It is decided that it shall be the fash ionable color of the next season. So it is these people wandering In gardens and mixing their chemicals afterward who rule the color destin ies of the London season and not the grand ladies who have garments made of these colors, though the latter might scout the idea of the selection bemg'due' to any one save themselves. It was told to me on this occasion that a particular shade of red and a really very nice red. too which was then much In vogue had taken eigh teen months to fix and get into the shop. One of the colors of the present season comes from the imitation of the new Banksla rose, which goes by the name of "Dorothy Perkins" and "bee's wing." "Mignonette green" and "sea holly blue", are other tints that have lately been obtained. They will all be seen In London at the beginning of this season, and poon after they will be away to the provinces. Chambers Journal. Marrying Stenographers. A worthy statistician has figured that among women the business of stenography has increased more than three to one in the ten years between 1890 and 1900, and that of all the pri vate secretaries, stenographers, type writers and so on, fully three to one are women. Of the total number of persons, of 16 years of age and over who are engaged in stenography, more than 76 per cent are women. A curious feature of the statistics is that which shows that of the 85.086 women employed as stenographers In 1900. 53,816 were between the ages of 16 and 25, and 26,001 were between the ages of 25 and 35. After that age the number diminishes rapidly. This would seem to show that the stenog rapher gets married early and leaves her -employment. Pittsburg Dispatch. Countermands Reception Plans.

HurdS COUntrv nlann mithsMl rt town on the Burlingame road is a good example of what can be achieved in the way of an attractive summer home lVr, IT immediate vicinity of Topeka. Within the past four or five years a number of Topeka people have bought country places near town which thev occupy in the summer and find he plan much more comfortable and sat- isiactory in everyway than the usua' custom of the wife and children hiking off to the seashore or mountains for the summer where the busy husband and father is able to Join them, If at all for only a few week?. Since' Highland Park was furnished with adequate street car service many Topeka people nave iouna "three (or- more) acres in liberty" in that attractive1 suburb and the West Sixth street -pike for five or six miles out is bordered with the at tractive summer homes of "town' farm ers." Oak wood Lodge is a "portion of the Hurd farm, Summerheim, of 250 acres, mostly pasture and wood 6n the Shun ganunga, which is about three miles and a half from-its owner's town house at Twelfth and Tyler streets. Mr. Hurd rents his land to a dairy farmer but a year ago he decided to reserve a portion of It on the bank of the Shunganunga for a summer home. H-i built a lodge and a smaller cottage near by for servant's quarters and now has a delightful refuge where he goes with his family and friends for the week ends or as long as they care to re main "far from the madding crowd." The lodge is a cottage of four rooms admirably designed for coolness and comfort with a wide porch in front which extends through the-middle of the house in a wide areaway where there is always a breeze. The porch ana area are alt screened in and this part of the house is used for a living room and dining room, and is fitted uo with Indian rugs and summer furniture and with a big swinging divan. The lodge fronts the south and Is surround ed by a few acres of beautiful natural oak park. There is a lovely garden where flowers and vegetables abound and a rose garden, grape arbor and oth er shrubbery have beeu started. The park has swings, seats, tables and a Perfectly Grand teeterboard. A rough stone stairway (Shawnee county mar ble), leads down the bank of the creek from the park In front of the house to the waters of the Shunganunga below. Mr. Hurd has had a dam built across the creek just at this place and there is good fishing, boating and bathing. A suspension bridge gives access to a second park across the creek. The house is furnished with running water pumped from a well with a gasoline engine, a battery for electric light si is to be put in soon and the place com bines all the comforts of town with the advantages of country. The drive lead ing from the Burlington road through a lovely meadow dotted with occasion al trees, to the lodge is beautiful and the place has many other natural ad vantages, particularly in the number and size of the oak trees which sur round it and the thick Kentucky bluo grass which carpets the park and which saved its owner the trouble and ex pense of starting a lawn.

SHU TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1907. 7 POLICE COURT NOTES. Officers Are Xow Giving Attention to Automobile Ordinance. The Topeka police, always noted for ccentricitles, have taken up a new fad. In the past it has ranged over all violations of law and holy city or dinances from breaking down doors to capturing bicycle riders. The la test Is the capture of auto drivers. Two were arrested Wednesday, one pleading guilty and paying his 5, ana the other saying that he would see about It." Grant Gunter, who paid his fine. Is the negro who drives Dr. Mc Clintock's auto. The other victim Is I. J. August, clothing merchant, who has a new machine of high possibili ties. August seemed vexed at the po lice, and said that he was not driv ing over five miles an hour when "flagged." The policeman claims that August was going so fast that when he yelled at the approaching driver the words did not reach the latter un- til he was past, and that the speed of the machine caused It to appear four rods long. i It has been suggested to the police 'that they arrest every auto owner in town on general principles, presuming that a majority would plead guilty. In this way the city funds could be added to, and the city needs the funds. It appears to a casual observer that the only way to ship Sam McCUin, the demented negro, back to nis nome m Kansas City, is In a cage. The at tempt to ship him on a passenger train last night was about the rankest police failure on record. They gave him a ticket, loaded him on a K. C ward train, and bade him a fond fare well. Two hours later he was found wandering on the street wearing about enough clothing to wad a shot gun. He had jumped off the train He Just Wouldn't Leave Topeka. somewhere outside of the city and wandered back. He is laboring under the delusion that he is In Kansas City, and keeps repeating the Information that he lives at 258 Troost avenue, of this city. The attempt to ship him was considered by him a cruel at tempt to railroad him out of his home town, and he balked. McClain was picked up several days ago, but could not be tried for insan ity here, as he is a foreigner a Mis sourlan. Therefore the officers thought they would ship him home. and let the officials of K. C. struggle with his case. Now, since Officer Kngland collected him a second time from the busy marts of trade. It Is presumed that he should be either caged or chloroformed and shipped once more. OVERCOME BY THE HEAT. Albert E. Masofnn Drops on Street After Lons Walk. Albert E. Magoffin was prostrated by the heat at the corner of Tenth 3nd Tyler streets, yesterday afternoon about 3:30. Mr.. Magoffin Is a cripple and had started to walk from the Santa Fe de pot but was overcome before he reach ed home. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. William G. Stewart died this mom Jng at 2 o'clock at the residence of his brother, Dr. S. G. Stewart, aged fifty years. The body will be sent this afternoon to Xenla, Ohio, for burial The cause of death was diabetes. William Floyd (colored) died this morning at his residence, 1204 Bu chanan street, aged fifty years. The death was due to tuberculosis The funeral will be held Saturday after noon at Z o clock. The funeral of F. L. Robinson will be held at the residence two miles north on Kansas avenue, Friday at 2 p. m. The services will be conducted by the pastor of the Kansas Avenue M. E. church. All G. A.

Horace Hall, of the Hall Lithograph ing company, had a "srill" this after noon from his buggy as he was driving past the state house square. The shaft of the buggy broke, causing the buggy to zig-zag back and forth across the street until it tipped over, throwing Mr. Hall out on the pavement without in jury. The horse then started off on Its own hook, dragging the capsized buggy aown ine street until It came to the stable on Eighth between Tyler and xopeKa avenue wnere It stopped. The buggy was dragged on Its side for six or eight blocks, and consideraebly smashed up. TO SET RUMORS AT REST Acting Attorney General Russell Issues a General Statement. Washington, Aug. 8. Concerning fre- quent requests at the department of Justice for information as to prosecu tions of alleged trusts and railroads. Acting Attorney uenerai liusst-ll to day said: 'I am daily answering Inquiries which indicate that all kinds of unfounded rumors are afloat concerning investiga tions and intended anti-trust suits and prosecutions by this department. Fortu nately or unfortunately, the department is quite unable to do one-tenth as much work as It is supposea to De aoing. 'I understand that some of these ru- mors have been caused by Judge Lan- dis fine and troubles between tne rail roads and the states In Michigan. Ala bama and elsewhere, particularly over state laws reducing rates, so iar as rne fine is concerned, it may have opera ted to convince investors that such part of their dividends as come froni rebating ana otner megai vtay-" locc ffrtain in the future. As for the state rates and controversies, possi bly some dividends have been swelled by exorbitant local rates. My own view Is that whether a lower rate will lessen dividends or increase them by Increas i r,v-oi mil uhinments is chiefly a matter of experiment, I presume it was upon being convinced of this that some of the railroads abandoned their pre liminary injunction of state law and authority as of doubtful legality, even If a permanent Injunction shall be pro perly upheia upon mriu after some little time for experiment. It will doubtless be the policy or this department to aid In the speedy determination of all the questions In volved In the railroad rates controversy by the supreme court, and in that high tribunal the rights of all will be safe and soon settled. When the depsrt .hnii have continued awntie longer enforcing laws against rebating and restraints and monopolies of trade, the result can not fail to be a sounder and lees tainted prosperity.

Chicago, Aug. 8. Mike Schreck finally has secured another match. Negotiations have been completed which will bring the big Ohio pugilist and Al Kauffman together in the ring of the Stn Francisco Athletic club on August 31. Failing a chance at Burns, Schreck and his manager, Billy Ho gan. were eager for an opportunity to secure a battle, if for nnthlna- 1k than to display Schreck's caliber to tne coast promoters. Schreck is at his home in Tf engine- Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. As soon as Hogan an-d Jack Curlet com pleted the details of the match the former wired Schreck to start for Chicago at once, and the two will leave for San Francisco tonight. Alex. Greggans has the fight permit for August In San Francisco, and the men will meet in the same ring that Britt and Nelson recently occupied. Schreck hopes to make a more favorable impression than lie did in his fight with Hart in Nevada, and demonstrate to the fight community of the coast that he is in line for a go with Burns. The latter has had no desire for any of Mike's game. Schreck thinks he has a better right to a battle with Tommy than Jack Johnson. However, Schreck will en deavor to clean up Kauffman and will then challenge the winner of the Burns-Johnson bout, if that contest comes off, as now seems Ukery.

Did It ever occur to you to inquire why the eyeball of the eye Is white? The reason Is rather curious. The blood vessels which supply its surface are so fine that they do not admit the red corpuscles of the blood. The eyeball is covered with a coat known as the "Tunica Sclerotica," which is amazingly tough and elastic and covers the entire ball with the ex ception of the part behind where the optic nerve enters, and of the cornea in front. The pupil of the eye is a dcp hole filled by a transparent lens and fitted with a most exquisite ar rangement of muscles which widen it when the light is dim and narrow it in a strong glare. Do you know that you have a "blind spot" in each eye? That is, a small portion of the retina Is incapa ble of exciting the sensation of vision when It receives the image of an ob ject. This blind spot corresponds with the artery lying in the center of the optic nerve. By a wonderful pro vision of nature the blind spots do not correspond when the eyes are directed toward the same object, so they cause no inconvenience, and' few beyond doctors and opticians are even aware of their existence. Practically all persons are right or left eyed, although they may not know it. One eye Is nearly always a little stronger than the other, and con sequently it is used more. Of course, the difference in many cases is so great that is has to be artificially cor rected. In many cases, too, the pupils of the two eyes vary quite consider ably in size. Short-sightedness, It has been proved. Is more common among peo ple with light-colored eyes than those with dark. At the same time, among gray--yed persons aro found those with the most powerful sense of vision of any. Muscular fatigue of the eye can be measured by the number of involun tary eyelid movements or blinks made per minute. Read by candle light or other insufficient illumination and you will find yourself blinking seven times a minute. In ordinary gaslight you blink about three times a minute, but If you work in softened daylight or by powerful yet shaded electric light your eyes tire so slightly that you do not blink mere than once In 30 or 35 seconds. The eyelashes give most useful aid In shading the eyes. The average per son has 100 to 150 hairs on the upper lid, and 80 to 100 on the lower, or, say 450 to 500 lashes in all. The eyelashes are not permanent. They are constantly .'falling out and growing again, and are entirely re newed at least tnree times a year. I Along their edges the eyelids are pro vided with a little oily secretion Just sufficient to keep the tears, which wash and keep clean the eyes, from overflowing. Eyebrows, which grow thick and dark, are a very sure sign of a good constitution and physical endurance, If they are lighter than the hair they indicate lack or vitality. xne nose, so rar as appearance goes, is the most lmijortant feature of tho face, and few people are aware of how much its eventual shape de pends on character and profession. At 10 a boy's nose may be a "pug" pure and simple, at 15 it may be al most Greek, and at 25 It may have developed a powerful bridge and be come practically Roman. Almost every great general who ever lived, from Alexander the Great to Well ington and Gen. Grant, had Roman noses. It is to the delicate nerves of smell In the nose that we owe our appre ciation of a well-cooked dinner and fine wine. The palate has compara tively little to do with It. We have no special reason to be proud of our ears. The human ear Is Infinitely inferior to the movable. funnel-shaped ear trumpet possessed by the horse, by cattle, or even bv the rabbit or hare. Both men and apes have Jost the power of moving meir external ears, and there are many sounds, such as the sqveak of a bat, which are absolutely beyond the compass of the human auditory apparatus. There is one peculiar point about the ears. Of all our features they are those most llkelv to be exactly similar in size and shape. We have already mentioned that the two eyes of one individual are very seldom alik. The same may be said of the fact as a whole. Only 2 per cent or the whole human race are possessed of absolutely symmetrical I laces, m 7 persons out oi iuv ue LITTLE GIRLS. left fide of the face is larger than the right; in 24 the right is larger; in two the two sides are similar. Next time you visit the photographer re member this fact. One side of your profile will look better than the oth er. Pearson's Weekly. NEGROES LEAVE TOWN. After a Fight With Whites Lasting Several Hours. Hlllsbore, 111., Aug. 8. III feeling toward negroes which has been brew ing since last Friday night when John T. Maddux, an aged white man was assaulted by a negro, culminated In a race riot last night. Negroes and whites fought in the public streets for sever al hours and the business section was in a turmoil.

KILLED AS LIGHT GLOWS Frederick Oppenheimer Dies as He Toucliea Electric Light Button. Fort Wayne. Ind.. Aug. 8. Fred erick Oppenheimer. a retired Jeweler, was killed in his residence inOld Fort place last niht by an electric shock he received while trying to turn on the light in his dining room. It is supposed that the wire leading into his house was placed in contact by some stray or displaced wire with the high tension trolley cable, which passes his homo. Mr. Oppenheimer turned on the button at a hanging electric chande lier and with a gasp fell, pulling down the electric fixtures with him. HIS wife ran to his side, but he was un conscious. Her screams brought neighbors, and William D. Scheiffer. who Uvea next door, rushed in and found Mr. Oppen heimer lying on his face on the floor and blood runnins from his nose. mouth and ears. The dead man's fingers were torn loose from the electric button and he was turned over on his back. There was no pulse and when Dr. Gilpin ar rived from Hope hospital he said the man had died instantly. Coroner Stults was called and made an examination of the body, but de clined to announce his decision as to the cause of death until he could in spect the wires leading into the resi dence.

KEEP DEATH PACT. Suicide of American Couple Follows Losses at Gambling. Naples, Aug. 8. Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham, Americans, reported to be from New York, though their ante cedents are unknown, died by poison today. The suicide of husband and wife is satd to have been the result of agree ment. Both had been at Monte Carlo. Both had gambled there. Both had sus tained serious losses there. Many persons have committed suicide because of losses at Monte Carlo since that noted gambling hell was opened In 18G J, but it is said the suicide of the Buckinghams is only the second known Instance of husband and wife agreeing to die because their losses at the Casino had ruined them. The first case a dozen years ago was that of the Farllngtons, an English couple who visited Monte Carlo on their honeymoon. The pretty bride coaxed her husband to stake 10 francs. He did so reluctantly. The ten became 30,000, but they were soon lost and then fol lowed the savings of the couple. They walked from the room deathly pale, hand in hand. They didn't trouble them selves about their baggage, but took the train for Nice, where they shot and killed themselves at their hotel. The profits of the shareholders of the Monte Carlo Casino are about 38,000,000 or 80 per cenet a year, and steadily in creasing. Women gamble as openly and as recklessly as men.

The company shows an imbroken record of prosperity with every year, making large gains over the pro ceeding. Such a growth has indeed been phenom inal. The Central Life saw the "handwriting on the wall,' 'and knew that the public needed life insur ance, must have life insurance, would have life in surance, but demanded a guaranteed policy with all estimates eliminated. The successful experience of the company enabled it to present a guaranteed policy unequaled in its advantages to the assured. The following extract from the Central Life's new rate book shows the advantages under the Guaranteed Double Annual Allotment Policies: ILLUSTRATION TWENTY PAYMENT LIFE Guaranteed Double Annual Allotment Policy Age 25 Annual Premium $331.60 on $10,000.00 Mortuary Allottments payable in addition to face of policy In event of death during: 2d 3d 4 th 5th 6 th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 18th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th Tear Tear Year Tear Year t 250 500 750 1.000 1,230 Year 1,500 Year 1,750 Year 2,000 Year 2,250 Year 2,500 Year 2,750 Year 8,000 Year 3,250 Tear 3,500 Tear 3,750 Tear 4,000 Year 4,250 Year 4,500 Year 4,750 In event of death at any time during the twenty years the Ten Thousand dollars will be paid to the Beneficiary together with the Mortuary Allotment for the year in which death occurs. At the end of twenty years all premiums cease and the pol icy is full paid for Ten Thousand Dollars. This new policy contains every advantage that can be granted to the assured and every feature is guaranteed. This is the best explanation of the great success of the Central Life. Good agents who desire the greatest success should consider the propositions offered by this growing western com pany. Good opportunities are now offered to ener getic men in Kansas. Address J. E.

Then Some Other Material Will Be Used. State Institutions Likely to Buy Part of Brick at Home. It begins to look as though the pris on brick controversy between the di rectors of the penitentiary and the state board of control may be ironed out in such a way that the brick nec- :essary for use at the state Institutions can be supplied from the prison plant. E. B. Schermerhorn, chairman of the state board of control returned to day from Lansing, where he had a conference with the prison directors on the subject, Mr. Schermerhorn said: "The prison directors took no action iln the matter, but they gave me a Icourteous hearing, and I left there with the Impression that the diffieul- ties may be adjusted. I suggested to the prison officials that the kind of brick manufactured at the peniten Uiary plant are not satisfactory for paving purposes, and that a pavement made of those brick would probably j not last very long. In this opinion tome of the prison officials expressed concurrence. It Is my idea that a good macadem road would give much bet ,'ter satisfaction than a road made from prison brick." It Is announced from Leavenworth Ithat the prison officials are preparing 'to make what is known as the rattler 'test of the prison brick to see if they come up to the standard for paving f brick. A number of brick to be tested are put in an iron cylinder and re fvolved slowly for a certain number of minutes. The brick are then taken out and weighed, and if their loss in i weight is not too much, they are classed as desirable paving brick. It Is possible that if the prison i made brick do not come up to the I paving brick standards, the prison directors will be obliged to abandon their plan for using this kind of ma terial for paving. They may con struct the gutters of the prison brick, (and build the rest of the road of sized rock. Such a plan as this would not require very many brick, and would enable the state institutions to have their needs supplied. The board of control and some of the other state boards which need brick may find that they can buy brick at home for a price which will make this plan more economical than paying freight on prison brick. For example, the big nttsburg Normal school which will re quire a lot of prison brick for interior walls may be able to buy brick from Humboldt at a figure which will prove to be more economical than shipping prison brick such a long distance. Brick can be made much more cheaply down In the gas belt than they can be made at Lansing, exclusive of the cost of labor, which in the manufacture of brick with modern machinery is not such a veiy heavy Item of expense. If the prison directors decide to use prison brick for the Stillings road, they will be obliged to plan for two-course work- This will consume the entire out put of the prison plant for the next two years. Meantime the state institutions, (which expect to have prison brick free of charge for their new buildings would have to wait. The indications are now, however, that eome plan will be made by which the output of brick can at least be divided, giving part to the Etate institutions. KILLIN G THE ASH TREES. An Insect Is Maklns War on Those In Kansas. There is work ahead for the new tat entomological commission in sav ing from destruction the thousands of at'h trees which nave peen piantea in western Kansas, and which are threat ned with destruction by some sort o 'a worm supposed to be the borr which Is so destructive of apple trees in east em Kansas. Secretary F. D. Coburn, of the etate poard of agriculture, and also one of the members of the entomological com mission, received a letter this morning from Wilson Peters of Goodland. stat ing that the fine grove of ash trees in the court house square is being attack ed by this destructive pest, and the trees are dvine. Mr. Peters wants the state to help save the trees at Good- land. Ash trees have been distributed by the thousand to the people of western 'Kansas through the forestry bureau. It i has been found that this kind of tree 'does well In a dry climate, and up to "this time it has not seemed to be sub ject to attack by insects. The state entomological commission was created for the express purpose of wiping out the Insect pests of the state, and it will probably take up the problem of saving the western Kansas ash trees. j CITY COUNCIL NOTES. 3. recommendation was made last flight favoring a permit to the Street Railway company which will allow them ,to construct a loop for their track at the southwest corner of Garfield park. In return for this, the track being con structed on a -ortion of the city's pro perty, the Street Railway company will deed to the city a strip of land lying r.orth of the park and between It and Soldier creek. 1 Action on opening Grove avenue was euspended last night until an estimate could be secured from the city engi neer as to the cost of opening the street, grading It for use and the con struction of a bridge or conduit across the creek which bisects the road. The petition to make the street rail vay bring its tiacks to grade on Logan avenue and Division street was re ferred to the city engineer. The fence on North Topeka avenue tetween Laurent and Railroad streets was ordered to be removed.

On July 19, Charles M. Sheldon de livered his last temperance lecture in England, closing his four months' campaign with a tour through Wales. He will start home Aug. 31, after a tour of continental Europe. In summing up the results of the summer's work, the Alliance News and Temperance Reformer, a London temperance paper, says: With the meetings in Wales last week, Dr. Sheldon's work of nearly four months' duration came to an end. It was hardly with a light heart that the famous author and evangelist entered upon his great mission on Sunday evening of March 24th In the Free Trade Hall, Manchester. A tre mendous audience listened that night to the first delivery of the story of what prohibition had done for Kan sas, and a note was happily struck on the occasion which has been main tained throughout the third of a year's brilliant and continuous cam paigning. "The signal service" which after that gathering we felt Dr. Shel don was destined to render to the temperance movement in general, and the United Kingdom Alliance in par ticular, has been realized, and the or ganization and Dr. Sheldon alike, we think, may thank God for so success ful an issue of their happy compact. Having left home after a long Illness, from which he had not fully rallied. we know to whom Dr. Sheldon would be the first to attribute any success which had attended his efforts watchful Providence and a kindly Lord and Master. Not a little en couragement Dr. Sheldon received at that send-off meeting from the fact of the venerable" Dr. McLaren presid- over it, and bestowing upon it and the speaker his benediction: "Most of us have followed with interest, and many of us with profit, hi.-s fervent, wise words. We esteem him, for his work's sake some of us have learnt to love him for himself, and we are glad to receive so faithful a fellow helper." The results of the campaign have shown that Dr. McLaren's confidence in the missioner and his mission was not misplaced. The man and the oc casion have met at seventy-four meet ings, at several conferences, and on fourteen Sabbath days in all parts of the United Kingdom and its smaller islands. The average attendance of th meetings must have been 1,000, and the aggregate number of people addressed about 100,000. Perhaps no missinner on behalf of the temperance or any other movement has ever ac complished so much in the United Kingdom in such a space of time. Dr. Sheldon has passed to and fro over the railways of the four countries some 6,000 miles, and traveled 4.500 from Topeka to England, making a little itinerary of 15,000 miles alto gether. As regards the character of the audiences addressed, there is no doubt that many thousands have come with- n the sound of Dr. Sheldon s voice who have not been in the habit of at tending temperance meetings pure and simple. All sorts of conditions of men and women have moreover presided or taken some part In them along with the doctor. There have been mayors and mayoresses, representatives of the army, navy, the medical profession; while clergymen and ministers like Dr. Clifford, the deans of Hereford and Jersey, Rev. Silvester Home, Canons Barker and Hicks -have delighted to do honor to him and his message. Scholars, too, have been in evidence, and numerous members of parliament Unionists, Liberal and Labor. The heartiness of the gatherings every where, and especially the mixing of those of different denominations on his platforms, has. we believe, much im pressed Dr. Sheldon. Probably the weather, unfavorable as It was for out of door life during the period, con tributed to the almost uniform crowd ed state of the meetings. The leading towns of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland were visited, and in no place did the doctor address two meetings. So far as we know, there was not a single hitch in the arrangements: neither was there opposition or dis turbance worthy of mention. The doc tor may well be happy in the reflection that every engagement was kept, and he will doubtless have a good word for the British railways, since he never missed a connection. The best thanks of the alliance are certainly due to all those in the various places who or ganized the meetings in detail, and to the different temperance and other associations which enthusiastically co operated in the work such as the Free Church council, the British Wom en's Temperance association, the Good Templars, the Rechabites. Sons of Temperance and Bands of Hope. It has been a source of great gratifi cation to Dr. Sheldon that even during the conduct of his mission here the prohibitory sentiment in Kansas has developed. Of the few places in the state, to which he referred at the out set as being notorious for their non enforcement of the prohibitory law. Atchison and Wichita, have been forced by the action of the supreme court to observe the law and close down the ex isting liquor properties. All this, to gether with the story of Kansas' 26 years' general experience of prohibition of the liquor traffic, which we have re ported from time to time in these col umns, is to be duly published, we un derstand. In pamphlet form. We do not doubt that thousands will wish to pieserve in private what they heard the author of "In His Steps" proclaim ir. public. Reviewing the campaign as a whole, we are in a position to state that Dr. Sheldon counts it as one of the privi leges of his life to have been able to carry It through. Whatever good may have been accomplished thereby, he de clares It to have been of great per sonal benefit to himself. Besides hav ing seen most of the beauties of the four kingdoms, he has communed with the supporters of moral and religious effort, as well as purely temperance reformers, everywhere, exchanged ideas with every conceivable type of char acter, it seemed to him members of the British legislature, dignitaries of Electric Heating Pad is the ideal substitute for the hot water bag Light, clean, safe Easily regulated and has no liq uid to leak out Attaches to any electrolier The Topeka Edison Co. poilNUWUMUSlf the Church of England; leaders of the Nonconformists, the rank and file, and workingmen. What has apparently sunk into his heart has been the kind liness of the welcome he received in numerous beautiful homes, rich and poor alike, where he sojourned. For this he desires to have expressed his great gratitude. .A brief rest in Nor way, whence he proceeded on Wednes day, and he will set his face towards his own home on August 31, sailing then from Southampton the day after a farewell gatheiing in that neighbor hood now in course of arrangement. No message could have been more appropriate or timely than that which Dr. Sheldon has been delivering throughout the land during the last 16 weeks. Besides tending to establish the entente cordlale between the English speaking races on both sides of the At lantic, upon which Dr. Sheldon consist ently laid felicitous stress, the mission must have confirmed in., the Britisn mind what Mr. Leif Jones, M. P., tha president of the Alliance, said at th.j celebrated luncheon with- which Dr. Sheldon was welcomed to London that to America must be given the credit of the Idea that It might be possible for a civilized community to live with out alcoholic drink. STILL CRAZY IN NEW YORK. If Chanlcr Return It Will Bo at Peril of Reincarceration. New York, Auj-. 8. If John Arm strong Chanler, the wealthy New Yorker who escaped from an insane asylum in this state several years ago and fled to Virginia, where the courts declared him sane, comes back to New York to prosecute a suit he has instituted to get control of his prop erty he will do so at the risk of be ing reincarcerated as a lunatic, ac cording to a decision by Judge Hough in the United States circuit court. Chanler, who Is the divorced hus band of Amelie Rives, the author, was adjudged insane by the supreme court in this city and committed to an asylum. Thomas T. Sherman was appointed as a committee to take charge of Chanler and his estate. Later Chanler escpade to Virginia. He invoked the aid of the court which declared him sane and competent to have charge of his property. The latter, however, being still in posses sion of the supreme court's committee of this state Mr. Chanler brought suit in the federal court of this district to force Mr. Sherman to restore it to him. Fearing that if he returned to prosecute his action he would be seized and again remanded to the In sane asylum, Mr. Chanler, through counsel, last week petitioned Judge Hough to grant an order restraining the supreme court and its officers from Interfering with him should he appear In New York. This Judge Hough declined to do. STOLE MONEY FROM A PORCH. Wichita Negro Appropriated, a Con venient Hand Bag. Wichita, Aug. 8. James E. Rife, who lives on Stevens street, was ar rested by Detective Remspear last night on a charge of stealing a wo man's hand bag, and having confess ed to the theft, a warrant was issued in the city court and Rife will be tak en to the county jail. The robbery occurred at the home of N. P. Strickland, between 7 and 8 o'clock last night. Miss McBride, a sister of Mrs. Strickland, had been sitting on the porch with others, and when called to supper left her chair, with her hand bag in it, and entered the house. In a few minutes Rife called at the door and asked the way to the house of a neighbor. The in formation was given him and he de parted. Shortly after this Miss Mc Bride. "returning to the porch missed her hand bag. The hand bag contained $20 in bills and about $3 in silver and most of this money was in Rife's possession when he was arrested. GOVERNMENT SHIP FASTEST. The Connecticut Outruns Sister Boat Built by Contract. Rockland, Me., Aug. 8. In a se ries of fourteen runs over a measured course outside of the harbor, the first class battleship Connecticut, the first battleship of its class built by the government, made a showing which was highly satisfactory to Rear Ad miral Robley D. Evans and the trial board. The average speed of the best five runs was 18.78 knots. The number of propeller revolutions required to make that speed was 127.7. The fastest mile was made In 19.01, un corrected. When the tidal corrections are made it is estimated that these figure will be reduced to 18.8. In her five best runs the Louisiana, a sis ter ship of the Connecticut, which was built by the Newport News Ship building company, attained an aver age speed of 18.59. The trial was marred by a fatal ac cident. L. M. Turner, a fireman of the first class, who- was borrowed from the battleship Ohio for the test, I was killed by a bucket of ashes fall ing on him. NEITHER GIVEN PAROLE. Charles Rider and J. E. MarceU Ap peal to tho Board In Vain. Leavenworth. Kan., Aug. 8. Chas. Rider, sent from Topeka under in determinate sentence of from one to two and a half years for assaulting a young girl, appeared before the warden and prison board of the Kan sas penitentiary and asked for a parole.

When I got along to Farmer Lee a the other day, after being off my route for a month. I found Mrs. Lee at the gate and gave ner a cheery salute, instead ui r Dlvinff she hArifnn.rT me to get down and follow her around the house. There she pointed to her daughter Hannah, who sat on the ground with her back to an apple tree and her attitude full ot me deepest dejection, and nclri: "Abe. isn't that enough to make a heart oi Bione acne "But what's hntmrrifiir' I asked. "Come into the" kitchen and set ready to write some poetry. We have been wait ing for you for a whole week. If Hannah's are is to De saved at ail it win De your poetry that will do it." Thereupon she gave me the particulars of a tragedy which I have here entitled i ne rragedy of the Six-Rail Fence, Or the Taking Off of J. William Hooper, the Sweet Hannah Lee. with eyes so blue. She loved J. William Hooper; Who in the village 'neath the hill Pursued the trade of cooaer. They'd loved each other for a year. Their love was smoothly running; And neither had the least idea That death would come a-gunning. 'tk midnight of a Sunday night The twain had been a-courting: And squeezing hands, as lovers do, And otherwise cavorting. When William started for his home, A fond "good-night" a-calling; And as he called the soft winds sighed. And dew like tears was falling. In climbing o'er a six-rail fence, J. Vyilliam struck a sliver; The sliver caught his trousers, and A gasp a shout a shiver. He called for help, but called In vain No one was near to hear him; No friendly hand to boost him up No tongue to gladly cheer him. HIaS, heaA was awn his heels were up Alas, the sad position! No lover e'er before was placed In such a sad condition. aJ11",8 J- Wll'iam met his doom, a Jthushis llfe wa ended; And thus they found his body cold, r rom that ere feno o.. i unoiniiiucu.

She will fall a-weeping, the same as I did, but by the time I have reached the last verse I 11 bet you anything she stands up and asks for a glass of buttermilk from thi morning's churning. May Heaven bless you to the last day of your life!" 1l -iE.D W& DOWM Mie WERE OP. I logged alons down Farmer Carter's tto find that something had also happen "..V a ioort Mrs. Carter had got news that aT sister of hers out in Dakota S dead When she had read me the letter and begged for a few verses to commemorate fhe occasion I sat down and wrote: The Tragedy of the Haystack and The Pitchfork. Being a Sad Warring to Cavorting Schoolma ams. To Be bung Mostly in the Evening. It was out in far Dakota, where the prai rie breezes blow,' And the prairie dog becometh chicken And tne'blizzard of the winter doth freeze the marrow bones. And the heat of summer makes the mar row fry. Sister Nettie, she was out there, a-teach-ing of a school Sister Nettle, with her spirits all so gay; The scholars loved her dearly, and so did ail the folks. For our sister had a sweet and gentle way. One afternoon In summer time we never shall forget Our Nettie dear went wandering o er She culled the gentle daisy she culled the vl-o-let. She patted on the back the bumble bee. By and by she reached a haystack, and in her lovlnsr way, And not thinking any danger hidded She went climbing' to the top, like a kit ten up a tree, And the picture she presented it was fair. While sitting on the summit, all Innocent of guile, A hornet came along on lazy wing: And he' lifted our dear sister some forty inches high, And the yell that she did utter it made the welkin ring. Our sister she was frightened and suffer ing with pain The same would been the case with you or me; Down the stack she went a-rolling, and there was a tragedv. And the trag was something awful for to see. A pitchfork, it was lurking to pierce her maiden heart One gasp our sister gave and was no more; One little sigh of sadness, and then she sailed away. And went her way a-winging towards the golden shore. Oh, sisters In Dakota, or In any other land, A warning let me give vou ere I close; Beware of lurking pitchforks beware of hornet stings Beware of turning frolics into woes. "Abe," said the tearful Mrs. Carter as I read the above in my most pathetic voice, "there have been some touching and beautiful things written, but never anything to equal this. Those verses shall be framed and hunsr in the parlor, and I don't care If the frame costs all of fifty cents. P6or Nettie! She is looking down on you at this moment and whis pering in my ear that when you come back this way you will find a two-pound roll of butter ready for you to take along." I h?.d one more brain-storm to go through. At Farmer Johnson's I found the good wife In-tears and the husband looking very serious. A nephew living in Ohio had been drowned in the Ohio river while fishing, and after I had drank a glass of buttermilk- and eaten th half of an apple pie I sat down and wrote the louowing touching tribute: We mourn for Johnny Baker, who's lying neatn the sod. Who was the dearest nephew that we had; His face was like an angel's, his age was over twelve. And his nature didn't run at all to bad. He went to Sunday school, and he always said his prayers. And his mother cal-cu-lated by and by. That he should be a preacher and in the pulpit stand. And with the other preachers have a try. But alas, for human planning alas, for Johnny B., He wanted to go fishing "toher day; He wanted to go fishing 'other day; hauling in the bass. And of seeing the big catfish at their play. He promised to be careful, and to fish upon the land, And to keep the raging river rods away; He would mind his loving mother and sit him in the grass. And all of her injunctions would obey. But they found him in the river when the sun was going down The water it had choked him quite to death; The doctor came and felt him, but said it waa too late. He'd died because a-losing of his breath. 0h,andhoh!eaa,ni0h' Jimmih' Oh, boys who would go 'out with line miiu J.'oie; Do your fishing in the wash-tub or in the kitchen sink, And catch your giddy suckers in a road side water-hole.

Loom is, general attorney of the Union Pacific, to ask max road to make a park of the land on the- northwest corner of Railroad street and Kansas avenue. The com pany are tearing down a small building Bow occupying this ground and are also removing the fence around the Union Pacific hotel. If all the space thus va cated is parked the apeparance of that district will be greatly improved. Some misunderstanding seems to have arisen among the residents of the North side as to the exact loca tion of the proposed loop the street railway is to make near Garfield Park.

This land is also owned by the city. A. Patten general superintendent of the street railway company, said today that the cars will first make the loop and then go back to Hoi man street as they have done 'heretofore. The compaivy will sign a contract to this effect be fore they -will be allowed by the city to put th loop on the city land. The Burdens of Office.

CRITICISES STATES. Judge Grosscup Says They Try Usurp Federal Authority. to Chicago, Aug. 8. Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United States circuit court, while addressing the Traffic club at the Country club, severely criticised states for interfering with federal authority in. matters of Interstate traffic. "The federal courts." he said, "will retain their authority over interstate commerce and their right to regulate and control it, despite the frantic ef forts which are made in several parts of the country by state authorities to deprive them of the right." There is too much federal regula tion now," Interrupted a prominent member of the Traffic club. Judge Grosscup paused a moment and replied: You are wrong, my friend. The fault. If fault there is. is not with the amount of federal regulation, but with the character of some of it in the past. You can not have too much federal regulation if it is wisely administered."

Alley, a veteran broker, killed himself In order to assure his wife and chil dTen $10,000 life insurance from the stock exchange gratuity fund. Is the latest explanation of the suicide of the broker. The formal transfer of the seat from Alley to one of his creditors was to have been made on the day of his suicide. Up to the time the transfer of a stock exchange seat .is finished the membership remains with the holder or the seat. It is believed by Alley friends that he took advantage of this technical point in order to insure his family something out of the wreck of his fortune. After today, had Jie lived and made the transfer, he .would have had no claim on the insurance, fund Tragedy in Tacht Club. Mr. Alley shot himself in the head in a lavatory in the club house of. the Larchmont Yacht club. He died short time later in the New Rochelle hospital. The broker had a fine home at Larchmont. He was accustomed to spend much of his time at the yacht club, of which he was a charter mem ber and an ex-commodore. In the afternoon he visited the financial dis trlct and arranged to transfer his stock exchange seat. When he reached home his wife took his revolver from him and hid it. Mr. Alley went to the club, remaining there about an hour and taking sev eral drinks. At dinner time he went home, and after dinner announced that he was going to bed. Instead he hunted for the revolver and found it. Then he made his way to the yacht club, where he walked up and down the piazza, talking to himself, for more than an hour. He was seen to en ter a room off the restaurant and few minutes later Manager Young heard a shot. Mr. Alley was found on the flcor unconscious. Long in Millionaire Class. Mr. Alley joined the New York Stock Exchange In February, 1878. He was a successful trader for many years and was well known in yachting circles. He made his home In Larchmont and w-as a member of the famous Larchmont Volunteer fire department, the member ship of which is composed almost ex clusively of millionaires. In 1897 Mr. Alley failed. Through an arrangement with his creditors he was enabled to resume business. His firm was suspended from the stock exchange in 1904 for trading on the Consolidated Exchance and was reinstated in 1905. In July, 1906, William Oothout secured ;a Judgment against him for $23,276 on a note. When the Judgment was entered Mr. Alley was suspended from the ex change according to the rules.

Senator La Follette toaay advocated confiscation of tru property as the penalty for such offenses as ine standard Oil company was con victea or. "The fine is none too big, he declared. "No fine could be too heavy for such a crime. It is too bad the oil magnates could not be imprisoned; They will undoubtedly soak the people be cause they are in a position to. The remedy lies in making the penalty much greater.

Missouri Still Hopes to Bane Man Who Escaped Gallows. Jefferson Citv. Aus. 8. Governor Folk renewed a reward of $300 for the capture of George Taylor, who was convicted with his brother, "Bill" Tay lor, of the murder of Meeks family in Linn county 13 years &zo. ine renewal of the reward is taken as meaning that the governor has in formation of a clew to the whereabouts of Taylor. One of the Meeks children, a little girl, who was left for dead, recovered, and it was largely on her testimony that tne brothers were convicted, in murder shocked the entire state. The Taylors were bankers in Linn county The state authorities have never ceased to hunt for George Taylor. Sev eral times the officers have been close upon his trail. A -year ago he was sup posed to be In Oregon, engaged in smuggling operations, but he eluded his pursuers. It is the belief of the otn cers that he will be caught yet and hanged. George Taylor and his brother Bill" had committed crimes in Linn and Sullivan counties for years. They had money and an insatiablo greed for more and they burned buildings for the insurance, forged, raisea checks, stole cattle, threatened to murder those 'who opposed them were suspected of several mysterious murders and at last as a climax to their career of crime, they murdered Gus Meeks, his wife and four chil dren in 1891. near Browning, Linn county. The Taylors got a change of venue to Carroll county and then the people who had suffered so long reign of terror expected speedy Justice at the hands ef their neighbors in Carroll county. After the Taylors were convicted they tried to bribe Deputy Sheriff Brown to allow them to escape, Brown told of the scheme. Then the people of Linn and Sullivan counties were furious. They went in allega tions to Carrollton and demanded that every precaution be taken to prevent the escape of the Taylors. iney of fered to guard them free of charge. Sheriff Stanley replied that he gueswed' he knew his business and needed no help to. guard the men. After the supfeme court confirmed the sentence of the Taylors and said thev must hangApril 30, many of the best people of Carrollton told Sheriff Stanley that he must not allow the Taylors to escape.,:. Among these was eY-TtervrRentative Hale, who had been chief lawyer for the 'Taylors at their trial for murder. Since George .escaped reports have come from many different places and at many different times that he was in custody there. Hundreds of different sheriffs in all parts of the country have telegraphed the Missouri author ities that George Taylor was certainly n custody in different parts of Texas, Oklahoma, California, Colorado, Ar kansas, In the bad lands of the north west and even in the Philippine islands. Often the description would fit exactly that of George Taylor. "Bill" Taylor was hanged April SO, 896. AN AUTO HITS A CARRIAGE. Several Newton Persons Injured by a Rear End Collision. Newton.

Keynote to Be Sounded in Speech at Columbus. Chicago, Aug. 8. A .dispatch to the Record-Herald from "Washington says: Secretary of War Taft will be back In Washington next week from a vaca tion. On the way from his retreat in Canada, the secretary of war will call at Oyster Bay for a long and final talk with President Roosevelt before leaving on his trip to the Philippines and around the world in September. The conference with the president possibly will be more significant politically than otherwise. It is regarded as probable that if President Roosevelt has thought of any new plan of eliminating himself from consideration in connection with the I nomination on the national ticket 'a year hence, more absolutely than through his I utterance on tne night of election in I 1904, he may lay it before Secretarv Taft when they meet. The secretary I will therefore be in a position to eo I across tne continent on his speech-making tour with definite knowledge of how the third term talk is to be silenced. Some facts have leaked out within a day or two regarding the character of talk which Secretary Taft will deliver to the people when he opens his cam paign in earnest. First and foremost in many particulars will be the address at Columbus Considerable data have been supplied relative to the railroad situa tion in all its phases, the deduction therefrom being that the secretary will declare at the start a policy in further ance of Roosevelt principles which will be prosecuted at his hands if he la nom inated and elected chief executive to succeed the present incumbent. 'Plans for the Trip. New York, Aug. 8. Friends here of Secretary Taft, who is about to start on a tour of the world, have heard that he will reach this city Monday and that on the following day he will go to Oyster Bay for an extended conference with President Roosevelt, presumably re garding affairs of government and of his trip. Mr. Taft s tour will begin on August 18, when he will leave Washington and travel leisurely across the continent. On the way he is scheduled to deliver a few addresses. He will arrive at Seattle In time to sail on the steamer Manchuria on September 10. On this trip to the east Mr. Tart win be accompanied only by his wife, his 11-year-old son Charlie and his secretary, Frank C. Carpenter. Montico Taft, a Filipino who adopted him as his father a year or so ago, will travel In attendance Upon Mr. Taft. When Secretary Taft was governor Of the Philippines Montico was a rickshaw boy whom he often employed. He be came interested in him and did many things for his welfare. Two years ago Montico found his way to this country. sought out Mr. Tt ft and announced that he had come to be his servant. Since then he has been his faithful attendant. According to his native custom, he calls him father. From Seattle Mr. Taft will, travel to Manila by way of Japan and China. His stay in the Islands will be sl,ort. The return from the rar east win De made by the Transsiberlan railway and Europe. Mr. Taft will travel unofficial ly as soon as he has discharged his mis sion In Manila, but the tour through the far east of a man as high in the admln- Ktration will be watched wun interest by the competitors of the United States.

Chief of Health Bureau Says Candy Satisfies tho Want. GET THE HABIT AIR DOME DUBINSKY BROS.' WALLACES THEATRE CO. TONIGHT The Laugh Producer A MESSSENGER BOY 10c 100O SEATS 10c T.11nflelTlhla. Auz. 8. Dr. A. C. a hhntt r-hief of the bureau of health has announced that he believes that tho nnnptitn for candy and alcohol are fundamentally the same, that by the development of a candy taste people could be fortified against a craving for rum and that, in pursu ance of his theory, he had been feed ing his three children eacn day on a regular allowance of sweets." Dr. Chalmers De Costa of Jeffer son college supported Dr. Abbotts theory, and said he had found that blonde persons usually had a candy craving, while brunettes long for al cohol. This was because the latter were more vital. It also has been discovered that within recent years women eat less candy and consume more alcohol. The reserve is true of men. Dr. Abbott said: "Both sugar and alcohol have the same organic molecules, differing on ly In arrangement, and I believe both administer to the same organic crav ing. American men are rapidly de veloping a taste for sweets. Candy is taking the place of a dangerous ap petite. Statistics show that within the three "years Just passed the consump tion of chocolate in America has in creased more than 500 per cent. "Also the soda water business has Increased phenomenally and the con fectionery shops are more numerous and of greater pretension than was dreambd of even five years ago. On the other hand, in proportion the sale of alcohol shows a slight decrease." Dr. Abbott's "confession of faith' was called out by an article in one of the foremost English periodicals in which a recent visitor to the United States spoke of the Americans as a nation of candy eaters.
