Vernon, Who Will Discuss "The Negro and the Nation," Tonight, George L. Knox, of Indianapolis, Ind., editor of the Freeman, made the op ening address. He said that he was elad to be in Kansas, the state which he had heard of from childhood. He paid: "I am proud of my race. I am torry that there are some of our peo nie who claim that we are an in ferior race, but they are mistaken. God never made a superior and inferior race, but out of one he made us all." This he declared was the de claration by the Apostle Paul from the heights of Mars Hill. "The white man is not Just to us because he measures himself from the White House and measures us from the barrel house. We have negroes superior and negroes in ferior Just as white men superior and inferior. The negro has always "been loyal t hi -jraee and the flag of. his country. We have always been ready to give our blood for our country. Go with me to San Juan Hill and see the negro soldiers there come to the front and save 'Teddy' Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and without them they Would not have had a 'Teddy.' We as a race must learn to blow our own horn. I am here as an editor, proprie tor, and manager of the Freeman. I am the whole show. "Sugar Beet Growing" was discuss ed by George W. Grass, of Rockyford, CoU In his address he showed that the negro was making rapid progress In the sugar beet growing business and had made many openings for himself. He is said to be the only negro in that state In the business and has made a success. Chas. Banks, cashier of the bank of Mound Bayou, was introduced and made a short address. He is one of thf most successful negro business men in the south. He was born In Mississippi and graduated from Rust University, Holly Springs, Miss. He organized the business negroes of his etate and is president of the State Ne gro Business league and is a recog nized leader of the negroes of the etate. J. A. Wilson of Kansas City, Kan., discussed the Jewelry business among the negroes, showing how he learned the business of watch making when a boy and how he had applied for a position but was refused on account of race and color. He decided to go In business for himself which he did and by close application to business had been a success. His address was y ly. I Mnaiawoy M. Jac-kson. Miss..

Total amount of capi tal of banks, $210,000. Robert N. Turner of Toneka talked about "Market Gardening." He said mat tne nrst thing a gardener should do was to get the best available seed and not buy seed because they were cheap and an up to date gardener would always have the best tools pos sible. "Do not borrow from your neighbor," he said, "but have your own tools. I try to be the first in mar ket with my vegetables. I learn that in order to do this I must keep In business." "General Farming" was discussed by Benjamin J. Carr of Hartsville, Tenn. "Evei negro should buy a farm," he said, "and pay for It. I started to buy a farm back In the el-hties and had a mule and $75. I raised some tobacco on that small farm, nald off all the note and bought more land, and now I have about 400 acres of land all paid for. I continued to raise tobacco. also raise corn, wheat. Fheep. hogs, cows and every thing else they raise on the farm. You young men of today have better op portunities than we had when I was a voung man. The negro must learn that his mission in this world Is to work and he must not fear the hot sun. Then he must learn that a man can't sit around on street corners telling yarns and run a farm. You have to get a. move on you. Get all the land you can and pay for it. I own a home in the city, but I tell my wife I don't want to live in town. The nponle in town are complaining about things being high, but that is Just what we farmers want." J. C. Napier, president of the Penny Savings bank. Nashville. Tenn., was the next speaker.

KEEPS HANDS OFF President Rooseyelt, Will Not Intei fere in Strike. i. lie Has Been Asked to Interrene by Boards of Trade. PUTS IT UP TO NEIL. Communications Turned Over to Commissioner of Labor. This the President Considers Is All That He Can Do. lAssociated Press Leased Wire. Oyster Bay, N. Y.. Aug. 15- President Roosevelt will not concern himself per sonally with the telegraphers' strike, ac cording to best Information obtainable here. Appeals to the president to take some action looking to a settlement of the strike have been received at the execu tive office here from boards of trade and commercial bodies of a large number of cities The applications were similar In character to those formulated bv the plzei ,L imnnrt.n V 7, .7

by the president. The communications have been refer red to Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill. It is understood that no in structions or recommendation have been forwarded to Mr. Neill. From the first Mr. Neill has been active in an en deavor to effect a settlement of the trou ble It Is stated here that he has as yet made no report to the president nor has he received messages from Mr. Roose velt touching upon the matter in hand. Mr. Nelll's movements, however, have been closely followed and while the di rect statement is not made the impres sion is given that in Mr. Neill's effort, the administration considers that the limit of Its functions and authority In the matter is being exercised. STRIKE OVER IN NEW YORK. Company Managers Say Business Has Assumed Normal Conditions. Associated Press Leased Wire. New York, Aug. 15. There has been little change in the teleeraDh strike situation, as far as concerns New York and other eastern cities. Both West ern Union and Postal Telegraph com panies profess to be thoroughly satis fied with the progress made toward normal conditions. On the other hand the leaders of the strikers declare that their cause has been strengthened by the responses to their calls to go out in many of the cities where strikes had not already been inaugurated. No trouble developed among the telegraphers- employed in the scores of broker offices In the financial district where according to the telegraphers' union many bir houses granted the demands of their men as regards wages and working hours. The news service throughout the east was practically unimpaired ex cept in the cases of two or three smaller centers and the -news of the world was moved to all points. The hope of the strikers that the Order of Railway Telegraphers would make common cause with them has not been realized. The Western Union and Pos tal people insisted that the railroad operators would stand hy their con tracts with the various railroad com panies who would in turn fulfill their obligations with the telegraph com panies calling for the handling of such commercial business as might be turn ed over to them. Vice President and General Man ager McNally summarized the situa tion thus: "The strike is over so far as we are concerned." General Superintendent Brooks of the Western Union said: We are moving business rush and otherwise to all parts of the country with normal dispatch." Strike leaders declare that both companies are badly handicapped and that desertions from the service are continuous throughout the country. Following a meeting of the local union it was announced that Daniel L. Russell will wait on State's Attorney General Jackson and demand that he proceed against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies for unwarranted delay in transmitting public business. At the meeting the matter of raising funds to support the Idle men was also discussed. The strikers admit the financing of the strike Is a serious consideration and they talk of arranging public entertain ments to raise money. The strikers continue orderly and in the vicinity of the telegraph offices there is little to suggest that a strike is on. IS O. R. T. BLiUFTTNG? It Is Said That the Order Has No Mil lion Dollar Fund. Associated Press Leased Wire. Kansa3 City, Mo.. Aug. 15. Cal E. Ryle, chairman of the grievance com mittee of the local union of the Com mercial Telegraphers union, declares that the Order of Railway Telegraph ers has tendered to the Commercial men now on strike their $1,000,000 re serve fund. The official record of the proceed ings of the biennial session of the railroad telegraphers, held at Min neapolis May last, however, shows that according to the report of L. W. Quick, grand secretary-treasurer, the Order of Railway Telegraphers has no such huge fund available to aid an al lied union. As a matter of fact, the report of Secretary-Treasurer Quick shows that the protective fund on March 31. 190 7. showed a balance on hand of only J62.404.37. The report of Mr. Quick did show that his order had a total of $159, 288.24 on hand March 31, 1907, in the general fund of the order, but this would not appear to be available for use In aiding allied unions. The members of the Order of Rail way Telegraphers can not be assessed without a referendum vote, a major ity of the members voting for the as sessment. To take a referendum vote of 36,000 members would be a big task and would consume several weeks time. Strikers Terms Declined. Associated Press Leased Wire. Toronto. Ont.. Aug. 15. Local Manager McMichaels of the Great Northwestern Telegraph company at a conference with the striking opera tors refused the men's proposal to re- turn to work on condition that no do erator would be required to work with American offices, that' are on a strike. SITUATION IMPROVES. Telegraph Companies" Report Their Business in Better Shape. Associated Press Leased Wire. Chicago, Aug. 15. The telegraph siiuauon accoraing 10 western union and Postal officials 111" Chicago and inrougnoutout me entire middle west shows that during the past twenty four hours the companies whose men went on strike have made rapid strides toward getting their business back on a normal basis. Conditions have im proved so much with the Western Union Telegraph company that thev felt they were justilied in opening ineir ooara or iraae omce and an nouncement was made that commenc ing this morning they would have telegraph operators on the floor when the market opens, ready to accept busi ness for all parts of the country. The Postal Telegraph company offi cials declared that they were more than satisfied with what they had ac complished toward getting their ser vice going and that should matters continue to improve as rapidly as they have it will be but a short time unltll branch offices will be opened for busi ness. The union officials turned their at tention on the brokers' houses and commission men using leased wires are notified that unless working con tracts were signed with the men this morning their employes would be call ed out just as soon. as-President Small reached Chicago, which he is expected to do today at noon. At a meetin of the broker opera tors last night contracts good for a year were presented to the union offi cials for their approval. At the close of the meeting the list 'given out show ed that probably half of the larger commission firms had signed the union scale. Peace efforts inaugurated by Samuel Gompers and other officials of the American Federation of Labor are still under way according to a statement made by President Gompers. "The feeling is too intense on both sides of the controversy to make any great headway toward getting the strike leaders and the superintendents of the companies together at this time," declared Mr. Gompers. "Peace has not failed because peace has not been considered by either side up to the present time. While men are still answering the impulse-to strike, there Is little, if any, use in trying to get them to think of going back. "The arrival of President Small will considerably clear the strike situa tion." MANY LONG DISTANCE TALKS. One Man Paid $18.20 to Communicate With New York. From the K. C. Star Aug. 14. The telephone offices in the hotels have been busy places since the tele graphers' strike. Often as many as 15 men can be seen standing around one telephone booth awaiting turns. There were several calls for Chicago over long distance phones today, and a few for New York. One traveling man, who talked to ills employers In New York paid $18.20 toll. It 'cost another travel ing:, man $2.75 for the .first three min utes to talk to Chfcajro and SO cents minute for allltional. time, There were a Iargfr number of tele phone calls for- towns and cities in Missouri. Iowa. Kansas, Oklahoma. Ne braska and-Hllriois. The strike works a great hardship on traveling men ,who have been in the habit of communicat ing by telegraph with their employers every day or two. It is rather expen sive to use the long distance telephone but to Insure prompt service, they have to do it. NO ROOM FOR STRIKERS. President Clowry Says Applications Are Being Turned Down. Associated Press Leased Wire. New York, Aug. 15. At the general offices of the two telegraph companies It was said today that no difficulty was experienced in handling everything offered. "The strike is over," de clared Robert C. Clowry, the presi dent and general manager of the Western Union Telegraph company. "We are having applications from the strikers today but we are turning them down. We are filled up and cannot place them." The local of ficers of the union still express con fidence in the outcome. They deny that any union men have applied for employment. The Associated Press is moving its report under steadily im proving conditions. REFUSED THE MESSAGE. When It Came By Phone It Said Ills Mother Was Dead. Associated Press Leased Wire. Des Moines, la., Au. 15. William Reynolds, a railway telegraph opera tor at Mapleton. near Sioux City, on C. M. St. P. Ry., refused to take a telegram from a non-union operator at Cedar Rapids. Later he was called by long distance telephone and told that his mother was dead at Cedar Rapids, it being the message he had refused to receive by telegraph. Many Brokers Sirn the Scale. Associated Press Leased Wire. Chicago, Aug. 15. The telegraph com panies today 'reopened their offices on the Board of Trade. The operators were comparatively few in number but both companies declared they would be able to improve conditions later in the day. Predicted strikes in broker age offices did not take place. Many of the leading houses have signed the union scale. Both telegraph companies and the members of union still de clare that they will not arbitrate any thing. Small's Train Is Late. j Associated Press Leased Wire.1 Omaha, Aug. 1 5. President Small of the Telegraphers union passed through Omaha at daylight this morning on the Union Pacific over land limited from Han Francisco. He will arrive in Chicago about eight o'clock tonight on the Milwaukee ov erland. No. 2. Mr. Small's train is about seven hours behind schedule time. Better Than During Previous Strike. Associated Press Leased Wire. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 15. Sunt. Storrer of the Postal Telegraph com pany, said today that his office is run ning with about one third of the usual force of operators.

C, Aug. 15. The messenger boys employed by the two telegraph companies in this city who walked out on a sympathetic strike have returned to work. TO STAND-BY HIM City Couneil Will Endorse Mr. Drennings Action. Explanation Has Evidently Sat- isfied City Fathers. AN ANSWER IS MADE. Attorney for Contractor Asks to Have Suit Dismissed. Mr. Drenning Says It's Scheme to Delay Action. The city council will pass a reso lution Monday evening next ratifying the action of F. G. Drenning in bring ing suit against John Ritchie and J. D. Hanley, paving contractors, for claims presented and allowed by the city for extra work done on intersec tions. The amount, of the money which the city attempts to collect back from the contractors approximates $600. The mayor has given his consent to having a resolution introduced in the council Monday evening calling for a ratification of the suit, which was filed in the first instance by the city attor ney without securing the necessary consent of the mayor and council as is provided by law. The mayor and members of the council felt that they should have been consulted and discussed recalling the suit. Mr. Drenning was taken in and given a lecture and after accepting it in good part gave an explanation of his action which has tended to mollify his superiors. The city attorney said that he filed it hurriedly because he was going away and that he was forced to in order to get a hearing of the case in the September term of court; if he failed the chances were that the case could not be tried until after the ex piration of a year. The mayor has be lieved that the city should conduct an investigation into the case and dis cover whether sufficient grounds exist ed for a lawsuit. But the hurried change of front by the council and mayor is due to a mo tion filed by J. J. Schenek in the dis trict court in behalf of Hanley and Ritchie to dismiss the action on the grounds that the city attorney did not have the authority to Institute suit. The hearing on the motion has been set for Monday. As the council meets Mnnrtav eveniner too late to give the necessary authority, a postponement of the hearing will De asueo. ior unni mo latter end of the week. The following reasons are advanced to show why the motion should be set aside 'Cnmt now the defendants, J. D. Hanley and John Ritchie, appearing specially for the purpose of this motion and for no other purpose, and show and represent to this honoraDie court mac the- petition- was filed in this acti'in without any authority from the plain tiff the citv of Topeka, and without the consent of said plaintiff, and with t any nuthoritv in law. "Second That no security for costs wo a c-tven in this action at the time the petition was filed or at any other time, no deposit maae wiui me tiei n. ui this court, and no bond as provided by ion? hv said olamtifr ana tne summon should not have been Issued. Wherefore these defendants, appearing specially movo this honorable court to set aside, quash and vacate the issuance and ser vice of summons maue m ima and to dismiss said alleged action on account of the matters above referred in "I don't think that the filing of the suit or its ratification will make on rnfferpnre in investigating the facts,' said the mayor. "We can go right ahead and investigate later on." "It's Just a frcheme to delay," said Drenning with respect to the motion. The defendants never expect to come to the city and explain ana never win.

Bankers Bid Lively for Custody of State Funds. Three Topeka Banks Are Among the Bidders. At .2 o'clock this afternoon, the bids were opened at the office of the state treasurer for the use of the state's money during the coming two years. Bids have been coming in rapidly for the past two days, and at 6 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, there were 47 bids in the hands of the treasurer, which 'is two more than the total num ber of state depositories during the past two years. Two bids which were tiled yester day were withdrawn this morning. They were the bids of the First Na tional bank of Norton ana the First National of Goodland. A large number of new bids came in, however, raising the total number filed to 76. The following Is a list of the banks bidding: First National, White City; Farm ers state, oakiey; citizens state, jsi Dorado; National bank. Harper; Northrup National, Iola; Farmers' National, Kingman; National Bank of Commerce, Pittsburg; First National, Glasco; Shawnee State, Topeka; Mid land National, Newton; Citizens' bank, Axtell; Citizens' National, Em poria: Security State bank, Eskridge; Citizens' National, Anthony; Law rence National, Lawrence; Farmers' State, Clay Center; Commercial Na tional, Independence; First National, Holton; First National, Hutchinson; State Exchange, Hutchinson; Altoona State, Altoona; Winfield National, Winfleld; First National, Burlingame; People's National, Paola: First State Leotl: First National, Parsons: Citi zens' and Farmers' State bank, Arkan sas City; Dickinson County State, En terprise; People's National Burling ton; Bank of Topeka, Topeka: First National, Anthony; Morrill and Janes bank, Hiawatha; First National, Madison: First National, Smith Cen ter;' .Farmer's' National, Burlington: First National, Great Bend; State Bank, of Peck, Peck; First National, Phillipsburg; Citizens' State.

The board is composed of the governor, sec retary of state and auditor, but Gover nor Hoch is absent. It is thought that the money this year will all be let at better bids than 2 per cent. The plan will be to award tho money to the highest bidders for the full amount of their bids, and give the left over money to the low bidders. In 1905 the bids on the state money, daily balances, varied from 2 to 3 per cent per annum. Two per cent is the minimum provided by law. There are bids in from four Topeka banks this year. These banks each bid for a large slice of the money. Two years ago, owing to the Devlin affair, and the failure of the First National bank, there were bids in only from the Bank of Topeka, which was awarded $80,000 of state funds. The banks bid ding are the Bank of Topeka, Central National, Topeka State and Citizens' State. The law requires tnat each bank shall deposit with the state treasurer gov ernment bonds, or bonds issued by the state of Kansas or some Kansas coun ty, township or municipality. A few days ago Treasurer Mark .Tulley receiv ed a letter from a Kansas banker ask ing if he could deposit New York city bonds as a security. We have a lot oi now xork city bonds on hand." said this banker, "and they are gilt edged property, being rec ognized as almost the same as govern ment bonds. We would like tto deposit theiie bonds with the state if possible." State Treasurer xuney was ODliged to4 Inform the banker that New York city bonds can not be accepted. It is rather interesting to note, however, that the Kaneas bankers are how loaning money to New York city. INDICTED FOR GRAFT. Two Boston City Officials Held $3,000 Bonds.

RYAN. JOCKS OVER Railroad Commissioner Dis approres Action of Board. Does Hot Endorse Inactirlty on Two Cent Fare. HAS PLAN OF OWN. Would Hare Companies Make a Showing. Attorney General Jackson Dis cusses Board's Action. Frank J. Ryan, one of the three rail road commissioners of Kansas, does not endorse the attitude which the board has assumed concerning the two cent passenger fare proposition, and he does not agree with the attorney. G. F. Grattan, In his declaration that the board should wait the outcome of other two cent fare litigation before making an order. Mr. Ryan said today: "In my opinion, the board has amnla Jurisdiction, under the law to ooii meeting of the various railroads in Kansas, .said meeting to be held at the offices of the board, and at that meet ing let the railroads introduce testi mony, from a financial standpoint, in, oraer tnat It might be shown as to whether or not a two cent fare can ba inaugurated. .u'lfi.after 811 tne testimony is heard, the board should make an order re quiring the enactment of a flat two cent rate, it would then become the duty of the various roads to test the jurisdic tion of the board in the supreme court. "Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska and other western states are enjoying a. flat two cent rate, and I see no rea son why Kansas should not be put on the same basis. "I do not believe the hearing would have any effect on the mileage book law. In any way." Mr. Jackson Can't Understand. Attorney General F. S. Jackson, who expressed himself as being disappoint ed in the action of me railroad com missioners on the two cent fare propo sition, said: "I see no reason to think that the railroad companies would withdraw the mileage book two cent fare plan in case the, state board of railroad com missioners should order a flat two cent rate established, and I can not under stand why the railroad commissioners should hestitate to issue the order on that account. "If the railroad companies should withdraw this mileage -book plan, after obeying the law for six months, they would have to assert that they aia so Decause tne law is Invalid. They would also have to admit that they accepted the- provisions of the law knowing the alleged unconstitutional features existed in it. They would have to admit that this mileage book law. was enacted by the legislature as a result of a 'deal' that It was a com promise measure dictated by the rail road companies. And such admis sions would not leave them In very good odor, it seems to me. "Furthermore, it occurs to me that the railroad commissioners them selves are not under the slightest ob ligation to pay any attention to the mileage book law on the ground that it represents the sentiment of the legislature. If, as claimed, the mile age book law was the result of a com promise, dictated by the railroad com panies, then the board, by refusing to interfere with it, simply says that It Is willing that the railroad companies should dictate its actions. "My opinion Is that the legislature meant what it said when it gave the railroad board the general right to regulate passenger fares. The flxlr.gr of a passenger rate Is a duty which the legislature might well shirk, as the legislature as a whole has not the facilities or the time for making an adequate investigation of the subject. But It created the railroad board for the express purpose of making such ln-estigations, and taking such action as It might deem best as a result of those Investigations.- If the board finds that a 2-cent fare Is reasonable and Just, it ought to order such a rate Instituted without any quibbling. "As it is, the chances are that the state of Kansas will be a year or two behind all the other states of the west in getting a fiat 2-cent fare, because of course the railroads will fight as long: as they can, and we will have to flght here in Kansas regardless of the out come of the litigation in other states. The people of Kansas will be paying 3 cents a mile while the people of other western communities similarly situated are paying 2 cents." SIGNSOF A TRAGEDY. Woman's Clothlne and Blood Stained Hair Found on Wharf. Associated Press Leased Wire. San Diego, Cal.. Aug. 15. Th find ing of portions of a woman's clothing torn and blood stained, on the outer end of the -Santa Fe docks last night and'a wisp of a woman's hair lying near" by full of blood, caused belief that' a tragedy had been committed. A woman's garter and a black leather purse were found. In the latter was a note reading: "Dear May:: Meet me tonight, -old place, at 8 p. m. If you do not I will flx him-and you both. Believe me. I am in dead earnest. So let my little sweetheart come. (Signed) B. A line of bloodspots led from the place where evidently there had been a stru-le, to the edge of the wharf, and this led to the suspicion that a woman had been murdered and tho body thrown, into the water.

WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Leavenworth at Topeka. JopUn at Springfield. Oklahoma City at Hutchinson. Wichita at Webb City. Thera are 12 names to be played on the present home series. After the Convicts come Webb City. Springfield nnd Hutchinson in the order named. With this bunch of games on the local grounds the White Sox should once more assume second place in the place of Hutchinson or Oklahoma City. The Mets play all of this time on their home grounds but the Salt Packers are on the road. The locals have a strong tenden cy to win all of their games on the home grounds and with the present home rerles to help them they should leave oh their next trip In good stand ing. ,Roy Arnold says he has a kick com ing on the reports of the game of Tues rtv which emanated from Webb City. Arnold is mentioned as being one of the pitchers when in fact he was not at Vb vmf. and was in Pittsburg. Kan., for a day's visit with his father who resides there. Arnold also resent9 the report that he and Oyler had trouble at the same. mis is one ui solts cf the telegraph strike. Eegmeyer. the new outfielder who made his first appearance with the lo cals on the home grounds yesterday ttarted the season with Fort Smith. He was with that team when Arnold and Lawler were both there. He left about the same time they did and landed with Springfield. He Joined tne locals in Springfield when Davis had to quit the outfield to eaten. Mike Erwin surprised the members of the Topeka baseball team by ap pearing on the players' bench during the game yesterday afternoon. ,When Mike left the team on the road he told them that he did not think that he would be back in Topeka again this season, but after a short vieit to his home in Texas he could not steer clear of the diamond any longer and re turned yesterday. His injured fingers are- looking much better and Mike says he -is ready to ger bar -into the- game again.. .Tha, comment among .the members of the team during the past few days has been, of the ;great -work of Red Davis on the trip Itis hitting Red took the honors, while on the road and secured fifteen "tuts every one of which was an opportune' one. When Edwards was compelled to quit. Red went behind the bat and baa been putting up a good game there for sev eral days. He was not quite accus tomed to the position at-first, but got lii fine trim and his playing of that position in every department has won a. great deal of praise far him where ever he has worked in the cage. His throwing has also been good. Pitcher Gilbert of the Leavenworth team who has been sick in bed with fever for several days wired to Cap tain Shaumeyer last night that he would Join the team sometime today. Gilbert Is generally considered the star of the Leavenworth staff and his absence has crippled the Convicts a great deal. He will probably not be able to pitch for several days. Outfielder Landrum of the Leaven worth team who Joined the Convicts after having been highly recommend ed lasted but a short time and has been released. Oklahoma City Times Journal: It is beginning to look as if Bartlesville handed Oklahoma City a neat sized lemon when they so willingly parted with the services of Pitcher McClln tock. The Bartlesville lad has won only one game he has twirled for the locals and appears to be sadly In need of the goods. His performances so far have failed to show that he Is fast enough for the Western association. In almost every game he has pitched he has hit three or four batsmen and almost invariably has had to be taken out of the game. He seems to be laqk Dud Risley said that Bartlesville of ing In stability to finish the game, fered to give McCllntock to Ft. Smith. Pitcher Selby of the Leavenworth team went home Instead of coming to Topeka with the team but will Join them this afternoon. Vanderhlll and Fillman of the Jop lln team who have been oft for sev eral days on account of sickness have returned to the team and the Miners as a result are playing better ball. August Shaumeyer Is now the cap tain of the Leavenworth team having succeeded Quigley who resigned a few weeks ago. Shaumeyer Is playing first and has moved Fisher to second. He seems to have the team playing good ball and during the last week or ten days has made a good showing with his team on the road. Nearly all of the Convicts gamea are being trans ferred and the team has but few games left for their home grounds. Down at Oklahoma City there seem9 to be trouble brewing between the management and Manager Mc Farland. McKarland has aroused their enmity by having a few Ideas of his own which are not approved by the club owners. Two of the club owners are reported to have stated that they would sooner have Warren Gill manage the team than McFar land. However, the fans are with Mc Farland and that is what counts In the long run. The fans may not know much baseball but they know when a team is not being run to milt them and exercise their alternative of se vering their patronage. If the own ers can not see it any sooner they always find out when the gate ceipts are falling off. The managers of the Cattleman's picnic at Kingman, Kan., are making enorts to secure a series of three games between the Oklahoma City ana ieavenwortn teams for their pic nic August 20, 21 and 22.

Dear Sirs: As considerabln wranellnB has terminated over the following plays will you please publish or give us vour Judgment on the following plays which came up nere recently: A runner going to second slides In feat first, the second baseman attempts to catch him. the umpire calls him safe, but the runner kicks the bag from its hold but still hangs to the strap, the base slides a distance of about ten feet, then the umpire calls the runner out. Then again the runner gets the bag and gets DacK to strap before baseman touches him the second time. He was called out in this case. Is he out? The second play as follows: Two run ners are on bases when the batter hits a three-base drive, the batter In the um pire's Judgment falls to touch first base, but goes on to third. The ball Is thrown back to first and the batsman called out. Do the two scores count? They did not In this play. Yours very truly. W. H. WRIGHT. In the first case the runner is safe. He !s not at fault If the bags are Hot secure. In the second case the runs should count. The hit was a safe one and the runners undoubtedly crossed the plate Deroro tne bail was returned to first for thj third out. GET BUT TWO HITS Fail to Even Come Scoring.

Only one reason prevented the Convicts from piling up a larger score and that rea son was Peewee Jones, who is one of the best southpaws in this brush. His tropical offerings completely puszled the invaders. But twice did his delivery receive any shocks. Once Ashley hit a single after two men were out and another time Price led off with a dou ble. The visitors also contributed gener ously towards their own defeat when they made three ripe luscious errors which counted directly in the run get ting. The homecoming of the Champs was greeted by a crowd of fans who were somewhat meager in their numbeis and almost frigid in their enthusiasm. The popularity of the team was thus shown to be very great among Topeka's fans. n was a necK ana neck contest un til the last half of-the second Inning. Davis broke the tee fn- this inning. Davis is a poor player and is seme times known to do things that do not make a good player, tie can t hit much and Is very unpopular. At least that is what a few of the Topeka populace have said. But Red is stronger right now than most any other man in the league. Yeeterday he started out in the second Inning with a two base hit Runkel bunted and Ashley essayed to disconnect Davis counting ambitions at station No. 3 but Davis beat the throw.' and Runkel was safe on first. When Stevie Ragan came to bat and knocked a liner to Turner who com pleted a double by catching Runkel be fore the colonel could get back to first it looked pretty dark for' the locals, But Seigmeyer hit cue to Turner who. fumbled it and before.' the new- ac qulsition could be caught-at first the redtop scored. The decisions on Davis at third and Seigmeyer at first were exceedingly close and some or them did not meet with the unanimous ap probation of the fans in the grandstand. In the next scene the locals made more trouble for the host from the ene my's camp. Ashley walked Wooley, his old teammate and Olson pulled off a very handsome sacrifice which advanc ed the little left fielder to second. Hurl burt sent a grazer down the third base foud line and made two bags on it.scor intf Woolev. -Abbott whiffed the ozone with three beautiful swipes and retired, But Davis was again equal to the oc casion and singled to the meadows back "of the diamond,-'scoring Speck. Runkel went out,; but twoi-runs were across and the game sealed up in an air tight wrapper. Not until the seventh inning could the locals secure another run. After Seigmeyer had been retired Jones doubled and went- to third on Woolev Texas Leaguer, Olson hit fielder's choice which enabled Turner to throw Jones out of the game at the plate. Hurlburt hit one to Vaughan but the visiting third sacker dropped the ball in an effort to put Wooley out at third. While Abbott was batting Queisser tried to-retire the side on a neat little play by -feigning a throw to second and throwing to Ashley. The big pitcher allowed the ball to carom off his glove and Wooley ecored the final run of the gamei Red Davis made hi' appearance be hind the bat and showed up weir for. one who is not accustomed tec the position. He pulled down -the only foul he had a chance at and did good work all round. As but two of the visitors reached first he bad no chances to show what he had in his wing for cutting runners off stealing second. At the bat he was the chief luminary, getting three blngles out of as many times up. For the. visitors Turner did great work in tne neia. He was on the firing end of two doubles and made several nice stops. Umpire Alloway debutted before the local fans and did. fair work. He Is the only umpire In; Topeka .who ever announced the- name of the um pire. His voice has; oratorical- ability and he Is able to make -people "under-4 stand. Hia hair is parted on the side after you get back aways. In the ex treme front his crop la rather seiaom. Two decisions in the second inning did not meet with the approval of the fans but during the rest of the argu ment he gave a good account of himself.

It Now Looks Like Omaha Would Win the Pennant. Denver. The Western league has Just about another month to' go and 'then the race for 1907- is a thing of the past. How they are going to beat Omaha out of. the flag seems a mystery. That team has from the start of the season to the present time, played the best ball. It has had thc2 brainiest leader in the league in "Bucks" Franks and has been very strong in the pitcher's box. These arc combinations that are hard to over come and Rourke and his crew seem ab solutely certain to finish first in the race, barring accidents. Des Moines will probably find second place its berth when the last game Is played. There may. be a chance for Lincoln, to beat them out; a splendid chance, as Holmes Is all the time look ing for,, material to strengthen the team-But-second and third place lies between Des Moines and Lincoln at this writing. If Denver should take a spurt it might be able,to.,crowd one or the other out of third placebut the chances of anything of this sort happening are mighty slim. iBeBTCT ihoojeb like a, cinch for. fourth place. New Outfielder for Boston. St. Louis. President George B. Ddvev of the Boston National league team today signed Outfielder Jinri Reardon.-.-who was recommended to him by Joe Finnigan. Reardon is an all-around athlete, is fast, stands 6 feet, and -weighs 175 pounds. He is i a sprinter and football player, and has played baseball In the Trolley league. AT ALL GOOD DEALERS eluding that he was too old to care for himself. It. la' more than fifteen years since he was retired, but he is in good 'condition.' and his owner believes he could still be trained to trot In 2:20. He is 29 years old. and has a record of 2:10 at trotting and Z:06 at pacing. BRITT BEGINS TO TRAIN. Knocks Off Theatrical Engagement to Get Ready for Fight. San FranclRco-Reallzlng that hia pugilistic hopes will Once more be blast ed and that he will be down and out once more if easily beaten by Gans, Jimmy. Britt, the coast idol, today can celed a series of engagements in the Pacific coast, theatrical circuit, and is now training near Colma for his go with Gans, which is to be held Admission day, September 9. Britt is well down to weight already, and is working light ly, so as not to overtrain. Acting Mayor Taylor raised no objec tion when a permit was Issued for the go, which la to be held in a ball park. The ring is to be raised in the. open air and canvas awnings run around two tides of it, under which "circus" seats will be erected. The grand stand at the park IS In the shape of the letter L, and the ring will be erecteed between the wings. In case Nelson fight, which necessitated the re Nelson fight, which r.esessitated the re fusal of admlsston to many through the building becoming overcrowded, it is pointed out that no crowding or danger cf fire will result. Britt's belief that he can whip Gans caused him to call off his engagements, which were profitable. He is counted on making bookings for an extended tour in case he wins. Al Kaufmann, who is awaiting the coming of Mike Schreck, takes a run over to Britt's camp nearly every day for training practice. "Spider" -Kelly is serving as mentor to Britt. Jeffries la hardly likely to be asked to referee tno coming go, as both Gans and Britt fancy the work of Referee Welch, who presided at the Bntt-Nelson affair. Racing at Saratoga.

COFFEE AILS Quit when you use POSTUM "There's a Reason." Read the little book, "The Road to Veilvlile," in pkgs. Chanute, Kan. Rumors have been rife for months that' the Santa Fe In tended leasing or purchasing out right the Midland Valley railroad, a southern line having a trackage of 812 miles. Authentic information has leaked out in Chanute from authorita tive sources which makes it seem cer tain that the Santa Fe will assume en tire control of the. road September 1. In substance, the stray bits of in formation gleaned' for several weeks unite to form the following accurate account of the road's' purchase. Gen eral Manager Hurley and a party of officials including Vice President W. J. Jensen, and General Superintendent Fox, have both mad recent trips to Tulsa where the Midland Valley con nects with the Santa. Fe, and their visits have not been without signifi cance. The erection of a mammoth round house, the largest in the state. the double tracking of the main line through Chanute, and the prepara tions for the installation of a private water plant are all links of evidence tending to corroborate the design of the Santa Fe. It is scarcely probable that such extensive Improvements would be made here for the traffic of the Southern Kansas alone. If the date given by the Sun, Sep tember 1st, is correct, it will witness a general shaking up of officials on this division. The slate of new ap pointments as far as can be learned, includes the changing of Assistant Superintendent McNally to the di vision superlntendency of the new road. The position of assistant super intendent is a comparatively new one on the Southern Kansas, and observa tion has shown it to be chiefly con cerned with the care and improve ment of trackage conditions. Assist ant Superintendent McNally is pri marily a trackman, and as the ma jority of the -Midland Valley will have to be rebuilt, his rumored selection for promotion assumes a highly plaus ible hue. Trainmaster Ramsey would then be in line for McNally's place, and Tim Cunningham for the position of trainmaster. G. H. Miller would be promoted- to the "chief dispatcher's chair, if he would accept the place. If not the toga-would fall upon Mike Cunningham. As a -side rumor it has been frequently stated that Agent Wlsenand would be transferred" to Muskogee as an assistant to McKally, which would .leave-the way open 'for the promotion -of O. C. Buchanan to Whisenand's title. All, freight en gineers and conductors, of sufficient seniority would be -transferred to the new road and given passenger runs. It has been repeated for some time that several of the older trainmen have been quietly given tips of a. pos sible transfer and that they have made arrangements to go this fall. The Santa Fe some time ago ma terially increased its capitalization and it is believed did so for the pur pose of quietly purchasing the stock of the new road. The latter when constructed, was regarded as a feeder for the Santa Fe and having been built to sell. The Midland Valley Is 312 miles long, running from Arkan sas City to Fort Smith, a distance of 273 miles, and thence to Hartford, a distance of 39 miles. At present It handles only local passengers, and freight, but as a feeder it would be of inconceivable value to the Santa Fe. It runs for a hundred miles through coal and timber lands, a traffic which the Santa Fe does not now touch, besides obtaining much of the southern fruit rade from Fort Smith. These coal fields produce 600.000 tons annually f the highest grade bituminous coal n the world, including tne famous American Smokeless. The deposit in the mines varle from four to ten feet. Besides the oil and gas traffic in the territory field, which Is at present the heaviest in the west, this roads runs a regular oil train from the famous Glenn pool to the stations of the gulf pipe line companies. The Tulsa branch has four trains a day and the other branch one each way. These trains or at loast the freights will be run through Chanute, which may account for the double tracking here. Chas. Ingersoll of Philadelphia Is president, T. Holden, vice president and gen eral manager, with headquarters at Muskogee, and J. H. Harris of Mus kogee is general superintendent. While the road would De a valuable feeder to the Santa Fe, it is not be lieved the latter Is purchasing the line with that end alone in view. By build ing a short distance straight- east through unopened territory the Santa Fe could tap Memphis and the im mense southern traffic for the west which now has to be carried north via Kansas City. Or by building straight south, through an also unopened ter ritory It could unite its own lines at Center, Tex., thus affording a greatly shortened route to Kansas via Fort Smith. Tulsa and Chanute. At pres ent this traffic must go via Galveston and thence west over the Panhandle lines to Wellington and around over the main line. The value to fruit shippers of a short line to Kansas Citv and Chicago markets Is appar ent. With this route the Santa Fe would have by far the least mileage of any road to the above points. paid for with a commodity of equal value, be it cash, .transportation ser vice or something else. The ruling of the Ohio commission is very broad in that it holds that the railroads may accept anything of equal value for transportation.- and that a cash con sideration, as insisted upon by the in terstate commission, is not compulsory. Of course the ruling of the Ohio commission can have effect only in connection with local business in Ohio, but it goes to show that official bodies as well as doctors and lawyers can differ in opinion, and that each is prone to consider its own opinion the best, at least until it is overruled by some higher authority. ROCK ISLAND SHOWING. A Wonderful Record Has Been Made During Past Year. During the last fiscal year the Rock Island lines made a wonderful record. Their gross earnings Increased $17, 000,000. This in spite of the fact that the lines were operated under disad vantageous circumstances during a large portion of the year. They had to pay considerably higher rates of wages than formerly, and the cost of all materials used in operation was considerably greater than in previous years. Notwithstanding all these drawbacks net earnings increased by $6,200,000. Earnings of these lines were great enough to pay 19 per cent on the pre ferred stock, but as that Is entitled to only 4 per cent before the common comes in for a share that amount might have been paid and there would then have been left for the common stock 9.3 per cent. In addition to this it should be stated that the Rock Island in the last fiscal year expended $5,200,000 more in the maintaining and improving its lines than in the previous fiscal year which was one of unusually heavy expenditures. The fact is the Rock Island has been carrying out a program of ex tensive improvements to meet the ex penses of which dividends on the pre ferred stock were suspended some time ago, and all the surplus money was turned back-into 'the property. This policy Is bearing" fruit even In greater abundance than was expected when it was adopted. This policy la contributing liberally to the rapid development of the ter ritory through which the Rock Island lines run. That development has been going on perhaps at a more rap id rate than In any other section of the country. It now is freely admitted that that section is capable of still, further de velopment. The section possesses ca pabilities and resources most easy of development, and these assure the prosperity of the lines in the time to come. The new fiscal .year has opened most auspiciously :for the road. It sees before It a year of great traffic possibilities which can be taken ad vantage of without many of the ob stacles that had to be overcome last year at great expense. The opening month of the new fiscal year showed a large Increase In earnings over the corresponding month last year, and the current month so far has main tained this advance fully. A SCARCITY OF LABOR. It Is Interfering With Santa Fe Work on Cut On. Ottawa, Kan. The plans to lay the Santa Fe cutoff with 85-pound steel, all the way from Holliday to Emporia are being seriously Interfered with because- of the lack of laborers. Already the "Santa Fe has had to take back its policy announced some time ago of employing' no more Mexi can laborers, and relying on natives to do the construction work. In the last month or two several gangs or Mexicans-nave Deen Drought back to work, coming from the vicin ity of El Paso; But even these la borers can not be depended upon to "stay by the Job." Several gangs of Mexicans were re cently scattered out on the work be tween North Ottawa and Olathe. On Sunday reports showed that all but a few had left. The Santa Fe is anx ious to push the work of reconstruc tion along, but the help is lacking. Workmen On the- steel gangs' draw $1.50 a day. The attention being paid to im provements on, the 'cut off, on which the 'double track has only recently been completed, has started more talk about the plans to route the main line passenger traffic-that way this fall.

No one will deny that there are a good many men who are making good salaries selling life insurance They did not, however, become capable all at once. They just took hold, hung on, worked hard, and now have lucrative positions. The demand for life insurance is certain to increase. It is a common sense proposition and only needs to be put to common sense people in a common sense way. The recent changes in this business will only serve to make it more popular when they are understood. This spells opportunity for someone. Just now there is an opening for the right man to repre sent a great insurance company. A liberal contract will be made for work in this section or elsewhere. It is not desired to attract those who are looking for a snap, or who have no persistence. If this work could be done without effort and by everybody, it would pay no one to do it. The fact that it is not dead easy is the reason it paya those who can do it so well.

Interstate and Ohio Board at Odds Over Railroad Advertising. A conflict has arisen between the In terstate commerce commission and the Ohio railroad commission. The latter maintains the right of the railroads to contract with newspapers for adver tising to be paid for in transportation. From its decision it seems that at no time has there been any doubt in the minds of the state commissioners as to the right of the -railroads to accept a consideration other than cash for railroad transportation. In their opin ion when the ruling of the federal body is passed on by the courts it will be found to be without basis in law. If advertising space has a value, and is bought by a railroad, it can, in the opinion of the state commission, be A Shortage of Them Is Expected at Wichita. "Wichita. Kan. The railroads are having trouble in providing suitable cars for the broomcorn shippers of Wichita. Never before since Wichita has reached the place it now holds in the broomcorn markets of the world has there been such a lack of shipping facilities. Wichita broomcorn goes to nearly every country on the face of the globe. South 'Africa. Australia and Scotland are especially big buyers, and send representatives here to go over the broomcorn section of Kansas and Oklahoma. These representatives make It their business to ascertain the condition of the growing crop and to find where the yield is likely to be heaviest, and to ascertain the time the crop will be ready for market, and other facts that are necessary in the business. The present growing crop will be about three weeks late. The yield, it is estimated, will average about 75 per cent of a full crop. The price to start off with promises to go a little higher than it usually does when the new crop comes on the mar ket. The question of price is by no means certain. 1 raasSZZ2ZLflKE BREEZES Jio Place for Starter Iloltmim.

J A woman, carrying a baby 4 months old and leading a boy 3 Vi years old, went to police headquar ters yesterday afternoon. "I don't know whether youll be lieve me or not," she said to Lieuten ant Walter Whitsett, "but I don't know 'who I am, how I came to be in Kansas City or how- long I've been here. I can remember nothing furth er back than this morning when I woke up." The woman and the children were taken to the Helping Hand Institute. There in an effort to revive her mem ory she said: "I never heard of a case like mine. When I woke up in the Midland flats this morning I read a bell call card on the 'wall. I saw the words, 'Mid land flats,' and 'Kansas City, Mo.' They looked strange to me. I tried to remember how I came to be there. I couldn't. I made inquiries and was told I had been there three days and two nights. I was also told that when I had been aeked my name I had said I didn't know it. Xo Recollection of Her Husband. "And I didn't know my name, either. My little, boy said his name was Arthur Morrlssey. He also gave the name of Robert Allen Morrissey. So I suppose my name is Morrissey. I know I have been married but I don't remember anything about my husband. I don't know whether he's dead or alive nor anything about where I lived. "Mary sounds familiar to me and that may be my first name but I haven't any idea what my maiden name is. I'm fairly sure about the ages of my children, .but that's all I remember about them. I think my bjrthday is in October, and that I'll be 30 years old then, but I'm not sure. Boston and Melrose also sound familiar, aid I max have lived near there. I know I Uvedf in a city." Melrose Is a suburb of Boston. The woman and the children wear good clothing. She Is above the average in height and la slender. She has light hair and light brown eyes. The little boy is dressed In a sailor suit and has long yellow curly hair. The only Indication of the woman's Identity- was found in a valise she had. A piece of an Interurban railway transfer was issued by the "Lynn Lo cal," and is for passage from North Salom, Mass.. to either Marblehead or Lynn. The trunk check was over the Lake Shore Michigan Southern rail way from Buffalo. N. T.. to Cleveland, Ohio. F. H. Ream of the Helplnc Hand attempted to send a telegram t Cleveland to find the trunk. Owing to the strike of the telegraphers the mes sage was refused. On a piece of paper found in the suitcase was the address: Mrs. A. E. Palmateer, 912 Chestnut street, Terre Haute, Ind. The woman remembers nothing about it. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHE NET CO., Toledo. O.

The flower of the colored race 'America Is in Topeka this week. in Ex-Governor W. E. Stanley Is still tn bad health. He is in Colorado. Frank Ryan of the board of railroad commissioner? is showing a dlsposl tlon to be rather independent. It is reported that Taft is back at work. No one has heard of him loafing any during; the last month or two. Complaints come from Eastern Kan sas that the wet weather has damaged the wheat and retarded threshing. Colonel N. H. Loomls must be feel ins; rather insignificant. He hasn't been offered a new Job for a month. Wichita Is taking up the plan of government by .commission with vim. Colonel Murdock of the, Eagle Is against the reform. It is reported that Oklahoma people are refusing to enthuse over politics. The mercury has beer) "standing at 100 in the shade In Oklahoma. It cost the International Typographi cal union three million and a half dol lars to establish an eight hour day. but It was worth all it cost. 'The millers' trust is given 30 days to answer Attorney General Jackson's questions. It will take longer than 30 days to answer some of them. The telegraph is not everything as is evidenced by the fact that Kansas has kept in pretty close touch with the world notwithstanding the strike. "William Biddle, penitentiary direc tor. Is trying his hand as a pugilist. The strange thing about it is that he should attack a newspaper man. There seems to be two factions in the Kansas federation of labor those that are out who want in and those who are in -that want to be let alone. If any one thinks that the negro race has made .no. progress In America a visit to the National Negro Business Men's league will prove an eye opener. Booker T. Washington is the kind of a man of whom any race might be proud. He never sings in a minor key and his face is always turned to the un. John D. Rockefeller is afraid the country Is going to the dogs. He need not worry for he has enough laid up to put him beyond the reach of penury. An increase of forty thousand In population Is not so bad for Kansas and the best thing about it is that a large part of the Increase Is In Western Kan sas counties. Fred R. Moore, the New Tork negro who told the members of the Western Negro Press association that they whine too much is surely not going to run for office. The Topeka fifteen-year-old girl who wanted to have "a time" and then reform is like the drunkard who in tends to reform after he has had just on more drink. Colonel J. G. Waters Is nearly 70 Jreara old. has written poetry all his life but frankly says that poets are a nuisance and that nothing he has writ ten deserves to live. Harry Bone Is winning laurels for himself prosecuting the promoters of the Lost Bullion mining swindle in Denver. It takes a Kansas man to get to the bottom of things. It Is said In Washington, that Presi dent Roosevelt will ""keep out of the strike. This Is just las well as 'the president is not a telegraph operator and doesn't know the Morse code Irom Hebrew. THE AIR SHIP AS PEACEMAKER. War's experiences' have gone to prove that the soldier who faces bul lets and shrapnel in the field with ap parent unconcern" shows distinct signs of nervousness if not of something else known by a harsher name when shells begin to drop Into a fortifies tlon seemingly from the sky above observes the war critic on the Chi cage Evening Post. The thing that a man can face and that he knows is coming is less fearful than that which comes unexpectedly and "out of no where." In the old days mortar firing was not particularly accurate; it is not absolutely accurate today, but there has been a marked Improvement in the methods of finding the range and in gauging the proper charge of pow der for the distance to be covered by the shell. Men behind ramparts are afraid of the shell that drops in on them, a wholly unwelcome and dan gerous visitor against which the door can not be closed. The shells, how ever, don't drop often enough to de moralize the garrison but ho.w will it be when the air ship is perfected? The French have built an air ship which is now government property. able, to gp af the will of the helms man with the wind. In the teeth of the wind and across the wind, it can sustain its flight with four men on board for nearly two hours. If Wellman's Arctic exploration air ship proves to be a success there will be at the command of nations an en gine of war that can sail for days. Then what? The horrors that would follow the appearance over a camp or a rorti ficatlon of the enemy of one of these sky-flying demons armed with high explosives have been pictured time and again, but the pictures doubtless fall short of the realities as man may one day know them. The air ships may make war so awful a thing that they will make permanent peace cer tain. They will have not have been conceived and constructed in vain If such be the happy end, but the chances are that more horror chap ters of history must be written before the war book of the world can be closed and sealed. At The Hague conference the na tions" representatives have sanctioned a rule that no air ship shall drop its death dealers into an unfortified town." A British suggestion .to extend the rule to fortified places failed to arouse enthusiasm. It may not be long before the war that Sherman said was hell will be something so much worse that the figure of speech will lose all its strength. However, If the air ship conquers a world's peace it can not sail on its mission any too 3IARGIX OF TRUST PROFITS. The claim is frequently made that the gigantic combinations of capital for business purposes in the United States is resulting in benefit to ithe consumer- because the products are manufactured and sold at a less price than would be charged if competition were open and free. The Philadelphia Record In discussing this phase of the: trust question as brought out.by. the recent report of the commissioner of corporations on the profits of the Standard Oil company says: Transient as is the popular memory. it should require no great effort to re call the state of the public mind when the trusts sprang up in luxuriant growth under the fostering care of the Dlngiey tariff. Learned professors of political economy, fresh from White House consultations, issued innumer able essays to prove that these combi nations were the spontaneous, normal and necessary outgrowth of modern Industrial and financial development. By concentration of business opera tions, reductions of expedltures for salaries and management, diminished cost of materials, and what not, the trusts were going to bring the prices of their commodities to the lowest possible margin of profit. The pictures of the coming economic revolution, K which wages were to rise and prices fall, were quite enchanting, in tne midst of the clamor those who divined the Intentions and tendencies of the trusts could hardly get a word in edge ways. The champions and beneficiaries of the trusts and the gaping admirers of the wonder-working power of the tariff in its latent phase as the creator of national prosperity had the Held much to themselves. In the overflow of their predictions the professional advocates of the trusts are quite chopfallen. Some of them are now as fierce in denunciation or these combinations as they were vio lent in their admiration. But their lat ter attitude is quite as irrational their former. The trusts have merely taken advantage of the opportunities which the favoritism of tariff legisla tion has granted them. Instead of de nunciation and abuse, what is needed Is to go soberly to work to remove this Iniquitous advantage. With such data as the corporation commissioner has so cleverly presented in the case ot tne Standard it can be shown how tne su gar trust maintains the utmost mar gin of profit; how the steel trust levies the last dollar of tribute upon tne transportation of freights and passen gers in the price of rails, and how wide Is the difference between the cost of the tree cut down in the forest and the price which the lumber trust im poses upon the consumers of its com modities. Public Health Scares. A French doctor having discovered. as the result of an analysis, that four out of five tramway tickets taken at random In Paris, might transmit dis ease, the home secretary is to be asked if he is prepared to have a sim ilar examination of tickets made in London. The question can hardly be taken very seriously. If such risk as a tram or omnibus passenger runs in taking a ticket from the conductor were the only danger of "catching something" to which he is exposed during his ride, he would have very little to fear. The atmosphere of the nslde of a crowded tram is possibly accountable for a good many of the mysterious colds that a man cannot Imagine how he caught; but it is diffi cult to suppose that the ticket is more dangerous than any other article that is handled in the course of a day. To nearly everything that passes from one hand to another a certain risk of Infection attaches, and almost every week nowadays the particular danger of something new Is pointed out. One week we are warned against opening our letters, the next against the perils of blotting paper, today ar'"t tram tickets. The man who takes heed of all these warnings must lead an ex istence that will turn his hair gray long before its proper time. Dally Graphic. j r I I JOURNAL ENTRIES Jake Sheppard is feeling the sting of ingratitude. Few great men are appreciated. Now when you see It on a railroad Duuetin Doara it's so Leavenworth has had an Increase in its population 22 prisoners were received at. the Federal prison yester day. The preacher who Invited the men in his congregation to attend church and leave their coats at home prob ably thought that was his only chance to have any men at the services. Apples are already selling two for a nickel. If we only had a few thou sand bushels now of those that went to waste In Kansas last year. The big corn crop has revived the talk of a Kansas Clty-Topeka inter urban line. The Denver-Kansas City automo bile record has been reduced six hours. .After awhile people who are in a hurry will take an automobile. JAYHAWKEK JOTS F. D. Coburn says that he has the best job there is, and wouldn't leave It to become president of the United States. And the funny part of it is that people generally believe Coburn really means what he says. Reports from some of the north ern counties of the state are that the corn crop has all dried up. The same thing was reported a few weeks ago about the wheat crop in: Barton coun ty and now Barton claims that It will raise 2,500,000 bushels. Hutchinson Independent: Kansas, which believes in advertising and has practiced the art for years, should not kick about Governor Hoch's trip around the Chautauqua circle, where he has been giving the Sunflower state a good string of advertising that costs nothing. Up In Nebraska it Is claimed that twenty creameries have been forced to suspend business because rates on hauling cream were made so low to the big creameries that the little ones couldn't exist. This Is a pointer to the Kansas board of railroad commis sioners in fixing up .their new sched ule of freight rates.. Everybody should' unite and pray earnestly for the ripening of the Kan sas cantalope and watermelon. Rocky Ford nutmegs from Texas are now IB cents apiece peaches are 40 cents a basket, oranges 60 cents a dozen, and other fruit in proportion. The only fruit Kansas will raise this year will be melons and potatoes. Down in Arkansas City they have discovered a comet, and the Arkansas City Traveller tells all about how to see it by getting u"p at 4 o'clock In the morning and looking thirty degrees above the horizon a little north of east. It seems that comets are in a claps by themselves. They are not In terfered with by tne teiegrapners strike. i Chautauqua assemblies 'do not al ways lose money. The one up at Clay Center came out $641 ahead of the game. The people up at Clay Center must be a foxy- lot in order to save that-much from the amusement syn dicates whose object it Is to gobble up all the proceeds and then take a mortgage on next year's business for the balance. About the next thing which is due for a thorough overhauling in Kansas is the chicanery and manipulation which has characterized the sale of the Kansas school lands. The legis lature nassed laws which opened the doors wide for skuldUKgery. and now. the horse having been abstracted, the legislature will see that the doors are carefully closed and padlocked. The Salina Journal advises the peo ple of Kansas to be more careful than usual in selecting state senators ior the next session of the legislature so that the "lodge" may not control that body again. Well, there Is this con solation; if the "lodge" is reinstated in power, it will Indicate tnat people prefer to be ruled by political bosses. The Issue is clearly dlscernable with the naked eye, and there need be no mistake. The announcement that Joy Mor ton, head of the Kansas salt trust, is going to start an independent oil re finery ought to make John D. Rocke feller tremble. The' only question thus far undecided Is., what- name will Mr. Morton give to the?- tiidetrack leading to his oil refinery; over which sidetrack he will make- a "traffic ar rangement" with the "other rail roads," and collect a switching fee in lieu of a rebate? QUAKER REFLECTION. From the Philadelphia Record. Satiety is the murder of invention. An empty head Is most easily rat tled. The fellow who leads a dog's life naturally growls about it. We can't all be stars, but that Is no reason why we should be clouds. Lend a man money and he will gen erally be grateful enough to return for more. Some married men are sign posts to happiness, but a lot more are danger signals. The tattooed gentleman is not the only one who makes his living by a skin game. The average man isn't satisfied to hold his own. He wants to hold his neighbor's, too. Tou can't buy your way into heaven by robbing the grocer to help swell the Sunday morning collection. Blobbs "My friend Bjones is an au tograph hunter." Blobbs "Why, I thought he was a bill collector." Blobbs "So he is. He gets autographs at the bottom of checks." 'Give me a two cent stamp, please. remarked the woman in the drug store. T am all out or twos, dui i can give you something Just as good." said the absent-minded druggist, producing two ones. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. When a man is glad to be bald- headed it was red. One way not to have a big family is to be able to support it. A bank account is something you would have if you didn't need It. A girl will swear It's a love letter even if it's a flrst-of-the-month bill. Children have very sweet dispositions not to resent being told they look like their father. KANSAS COMMENT NOT TIRED. Seneca has a "rest room" for farm ers wives and daughters. Perhaps tnis is a necessity Ju Seneca, where the women can have some place to stay and rest while their husbands talk politics at the court house or in dulge in worse habits, at places even worse than the court house. Now in Holton it is different. When the average Jackson county couple comes to town nine times out of ten the husband gets throueh with his bus! ness long before his wife gets all her shopping done, and has to wait on her. As we have mighty little politics in Holton and no .saloons or billiard halls or pool rooms, the old! man has an exceedingly lonesome time of it until his women folks get ready to go nome. judging from their looks and actions there are but few Jackson county women who need a rest when they come to town, at least any other rest than they get shopping and look ing at pretty things in the stores. nouon itecoraer. THE DRAFT PRECEDENT. Mr. Stubbs has intimated that his training and inclinations are all along legislative lines and that he has no inclination to be governor. If Mr. Stubbs will allow his mind to revert back some four vMrs i will remem ber a Kansas editor who declared that his training and inclinations were All along printing lines and that he had no inclination to be governor. He evdently wanted to be state printer and wanted it badly, yet Mr. Stubbs had Mr. Hoch drafted as a candidate for governor. Mr. Stubbs established thereby a precedent which he seems to be loth to follow. Holton Recorder. OF COURSE. It rained. Of course it rained, and before the corn was hurt. too. It most always does. Woodson county is going to raise a big crop. It most always does. Our people are happy and pros perous, many of them have money In the banks, cattle and hogs on their farms, good clothes, good health and plenty or tne best things on earth to eat. Who couldn t be happy In Kan sas? Tates Center News. HUH! What kind of fancy prices do the railroads get for carrying the United States mails, anyway? It is said that the cutting off of one mall car out of Kansas City will cost the road a loss of $20,000 annually. Think of that! Howard Courant. THE EXPLANATION. Last year was the most profitable year the steel trust ever had. By a queer coincidence it could scarcely be anything else It was the year when the most bosus steel rails were sold. Ottawa Herald. COMPARATIVE. Still that huge fine against the Stand ard Oil Co, was no more proportion ately than that against the church pew and school desk trust, also imposed by Judge Landls. When you consider the number of offenses of which the Standard was convicted and the in come of the corporations, the fine was not so enormous as the huge sum in Itself first suggests. Hutchinson News, A QUESTION. Was the editor of the Atchison Globe thinking of Kansas railroad commis sioners or the Democratic" party when he wrote the following "Globe Sight:" "Some people spend half- their time telling what theytn,tend to do, and the other' half explaining why they didn't do It." Holton -Recorder. PROHIBITION IN THE SOUTH. The prohibition; wave which is sweeping over the .south seems to be gathering strength.- The action of the Georgia legislature" in enacting abso lute prohibition from January 1 next has stimulated the prohibition work ers all over the south. Alabama is seriously agitating similar laws, though no action will now be taken until the next session of the legis lature. Tennessee is almost com pletely in the possession of the pro hibitionists. After the first of Oc tober only three cities in the state, to wit, Memphis, Nashville and Chatta nooga, will sell liquor. The traffic has been forbidden in all other cities by local option votes, but the Tennes seeans are not stopping here. Nearly all the incorporated cities that have "gone dry" are passing the most rigid laws, forbidding liquors received from the outside to be delivered, the pur pose being to prevent, in so far as can be done without Infringing the inter state laws, the receipt of any pack ages containing liquor. Philadelphia Ledger. "WHEAT CROP IN NEBRASKA. In southern Nebraska the wheat harvest is so great that the railroads are congested; there is not enough motive power to make the side tracks clear, and this week wheat will begin to move from the northern part of the state. Of course this does not prove anything regarding the wheat output of Minnesota and the Dakotas, but it is calculated to make people hesitate a little about accepting at their face value the stories of a few days ago that In those states the wheat was so terribly poor that it would hardly pay to run harvesting machines over the neias. it lsn t often that there Is so wonderful a disparity between crop conditions in Nebraska and in the states immediately north of it. Phila delphia Record. THE HEARST WEDGE. Using the Independent league that he Is organizing in as many states as he is able as a wedge, Mr. Hearst is planning to spilt open the Democratic party along the lines of natural cleav age where possible or through erup tive breaks where these abound.

On her way home she paused at Constantinople long enough to give a detailed account of a visit ene made to the harem of the Per sian governor at Shiraz. "As we rode into the city every one stared at me the unveiled woman. The streets or tne City of Roses are narrow ana nara to navigate. It was with At. Acuity that we reached the palace of adoui ut auitan. "As the gates opened a whole flock of servants aasnea out. They surrounded me at once and led me along a marvel ous alley shaded with cypress trees. We crossed a miniature canal whose limpid wttLciB nowea mrougn a channel lined with blue tiles. Wonderful flowers, from peonies to irises, bordered it, and the Dream or wild almond filled the air. "Abdul ul Sultan received me in room set apart for women. He poured a flood of compliments over me like a rain or nowers. "We walked throuzh a beautiful cninr. nade which connected the palace with me womens pavilion. This led to great room, the roof of which was sup ported by beautifully sculptured marble piiiars. "The walls were adorned with great mirrors, and the floor was a mosaic of glazed tiles. Here were gathered all the women of the harem ladles and slaves alike. All were clad In the sabte draperies which Persians still wear In mourning for Hussein, the son of All. the founder of the Shilte sect of Mo- nammedans. "The dark stuff threw the fresh rosy races or tne girls Into relief and added to. their beauty. But the costly jewels wnicn guttered in their garments seem ed to me to weigh heavily on them, and tne darkening of their eyebrows with kohl seemed to me to give their childish faces a hard and obstinate expression. Only their dark melting eyes, veiled with long lashes, seemed to me to reflect their melancholy lives of repression, We were seated on beautifully carv ed wooden settles and copper-colored slaves distributed Persian dainties. There were ices and sherbet, and In front machine of silver was placed. These had models of Persepolis moulded on them in high relief. "Delicious bonbons were passea around which left a delicate, faint flavor of roses on the lips. There were also splendid purple grapes and pomegran ates which seemed to be filled with rubies when cut. The slaves peeled lit tle pale yellow oranges for us with their delicate hands. The expression of the Princess face was of restrained grief. In vain she tried to control herself and conceal her agony Tears rahdown her cheeks and mingled with the diamonds In her gown as she turned her well-like eyes on her husband. "Later I learned the explanation of her strange conduct. She had failed in the chief duty of a Persian wife. She was childless and her hus band had determined to take another wife. 'The announcement had been made to her only that morning, and she knew that hep rival was already chosen, and only waiting to take her place In her husband's favor. Even not knowing the sad story, I longed to say a word of comfort to her; but how could I in that throng, with the guardians of the harem watching? Manchester Chroni cle. Where Animals Beat Men. 'Nature faking aside," said John Lover, the zoo keeper, "mice won't eat oleo. It is a fact.

Pardonable Exaggeration. Governor Stokes of New Jersey was UiuKhing over the report that he had been mobbed in Trenton for unfairly umpiring a baseball game between New Jersey statesmen. "That story," he said, "was exag gerated. The reporters got excited and lost slgnt or tne irutn a utile. n;xci ted oeoDle often exceed the truth's 11m Its. but they are not to be much blamed. "Thus, last Fourth of July, I heard an old veteran talking about war. More and more excited grew the old man. His thin, tremulous hands struck the table resounding whacks. A queer flush stained his gray and sunken cheeks. His wagging white beard was all dishevel led. 'Boys.' he quavered, as the band played 'Dixie,' 'boys, 47 years ago to day I laid on my chest knee-deep in water, and waited 24 hours for the sun to rise, and,, by jingo, I kin do it agin! Hurray for Old Glory!'" The Literary Difference. "H. G. Wells," said a Chicago pub lisher, "Is a splendid novelist, but he attaches too much Importance to the question of style, of finish, and not enough importance to the question of popularity. When Mr. Wells was over here, I went about with him a good deal, and one day I showed him a magnificent mansion that one of our leading novelists owns. 'Literature,' I said, encouragingly, is different from what it was in Dr. Johnson's and Noll Goldsmith's firms. You could live in Just such a house as that if you'd write as we publishers want you to, Mr. Wells. Tou could be a famous .novelist, too. In fact. It is easy to be a famous novelist nowadays.' "Mr.-Wells laughed, sourly. 'Yes,' he said.. 'In the past the authors died, but their works live. Now the works die, and the authors live.'" THE EVENING STORY Bad Beginnings. CBy Brian CahilL) Eddowes scowled at the clock as he let himself into the office. A freight train on the branch line over which he commuted to town had blocked the tracks and he had been forced to tramp two miles across country to reach the trolley. Arriving after a ser ies of transfers, he found Benton's card on the floor beneath the letter drop, with the penciled legend that he was going out of town. The deal Eddowes had been working on would not hold out until Benton's return, and he gritted his teeth as he thought of all the commission on the transaction would have meant to him. It would have made up the sum needed to complete the purchase of the little house he wanted to offer Edna Conant as a home, and it might mean a year now before another such brill iant opportunity would offer. Ho glanced out of the window through the light, driving rain, at the sodden vista of wet roof-tops": and smoke-stained buildings, and thought how well the weather matched his own feelings. For months he had been working to nlose the real estate trans action. Benton was to be at the office at ten to put the final details through, and now he had sailed for Europe and would not be back for several months. It was the finfli hanoenlnsr of a chain of accidents that had begun with his stubbing his toe as he got out or Dea, followed by the loss of his last collar button under the bureau, the burning of half his breakfast by a green ser vant girl, and then the wrecK ana n attendant discomforts. He turned from the window wun a shiver. Thio la a fine beginning ror tne week." he said to himself. "If it keeps un this wav until Saturday. I shall land in the lunatic asylum." He took his seat berore tne aes ana busted himself with the papers in the Benton matter. Four signatures and the exchange of a check would have made the set complete and would have brought him a commission of $10,000. Everything had been arranged to ex pedite matters. Benton had waited half an hour In the hall until he had just time to make the steamer upon which he was to sail. Eiiflowps carefully clipped tne pa pers to a file board and caught up his iimhrella. There was no chance of any other caller during the lunch hour, and. the loss of his breakfast and th tramp across country had put an edge on his appetite. The streets were filled wltn tne usual hurrying throng, and, raising his umbrella, he fell In with the pro cession of moist and steaming mortals. The wind had freshened and the rain was driving in sheets now. At the corner by the trust company building the air currents were unusually strong. and Just as he passed the curb, a girl ahead made a clutch at her umbrella as It turned inside out. while the torn silk fluttered from the bent ribs. Ed dowes covered the dainty hat with his own umbrella and steered her to the protection of the entrance. "Let It drop in tne gutter." ne saia. There is no hope of saving any part of It." "Harry!" gasped the girl. "Where did you come from?" From the office," ne laugnea. "What brings you downtown,' Edna?" "I was to meet father for lunch. she explained. "He was called to an important conference and left word for me to go to luncn alone. I was going home. -1 am so perfectly miser able. Everything has gone wrong to day. It has been a chapter of acci dents ever since I rose. Let's be miserable together, he suggested. "Come and have some lunch and we'll tell each other our troubles." He led the- way to a little place where the service was excellent and the prices moderate. Here, at a little table in the -corner, she detailed her chapter of accidents, while he, in turn. gav a whimsical account of his own mishaps. We are companions in misery, he said, with a laugh. "I really believe that it has done me good to pour my tale of woe into sympathetic ears. "I know that it has done me good to, share my burden," she said, with a look that made Eddowes's heart beat the faster. "I'm sorry about that deal you lost." It meant a great deal to me, he said, mournfully. "I was going to pur chase the Gordon place." For investment?" she asked. though she knew well enough she had said once when she had visited his sis ter how much she would enjoy a place like that for her home. "An Investment In happiness." he said meaningly. "I suppose that the place will be sold long before I am able to get another deal like this through." "Is your happiness entirely depend ent upon that one place?" she asked. 'Is happiness a matter of real estate?" "Real estate contributes materially to happiness," he said with an uneasy laugh. "I should not want to offer an unworthy home to the woman I want to marry." Homo Is what you make It," she re minded him. "There is Jessie Bruce. They only have four rooms in an apartment house, but they are per fectly happy and content. George had the courage to ask Jessie as soon as he was certain that he could make both end3 meet in a small way. He did not wait to build a palace. If a woman loves a man, she does not mar ry him because he Is able to offer a pretentious home." "Would you marry me with the little I have to offer?" he asked. "It was you I thought of, dear." Her hand crept across the table and stole Into his own. "Of course, I would If you asked me," she assented with a happy little laugh, "but I am afraid that you are going to let pride Keep you rrom nappiness. I was going to," he admitted, "but this little visit has done so much to give me fresh courage that I realize more than ever how much I need you. Will you marry me, dear? Take me for better or worse, with the chances that It may be worse for a while?" The "yes" was whispered so softly that he guessed rather than heard the answer, and his face grew radiant at the thought that this great happiness was to be his. I don't care now about the loss of the deal or the wreck, or even the rain." he cried. "I have you, and with you it will always be sunshine and good fortune. As though In answer, a beam of sun light stole through the window and fell cross the table, jsooowes looicea up. There Is the omen,". he cried. That last burst of rain must have been the final gasp of the storm. The sun Is coming through the clouds." And It's always goingr to shine," she answered. Let's pay the checi. and go and get the ring," he suggested. "I want to have you sealed and signed. I hello!" His face was blank with amazement as Benton threaded his way toward them between the rows of tables. "I thought I should find you here," explained the newcomer when greet ings had been exchanged. "We had not left the harbor when we ran aground to avoid ramming a schooner, and In trying to pull our nose out of the mud the propeller shaft broke. We sail at nine tonight. In the meantime, I thought I would come back to town on one of the tugs and close up that deal." "Everything is all ready," exclaimed Eddowes, rising. "We'll go right over to the office. It will be a fortunate in vestment, I am sure. We have Just found out that bad beginnings make good endings." Perhaps Benton understood why Ed dowes pressed Edna's hand as he helped her Into her coat. At any rate, he smiled In sympathy as they went' out into the sunlight. (Copyright, 1907. by P. C.

The average man's idea of religious liberty Is the privilege of staying home from church. The man who Is too fat, or too old, to run, always seems to have the most trouble with his hat blowing off. How disappointed "the average girl Is when she shows a young man her photo and he doesn't ask her for one! The man who says he lives "close to nature," Is not the one you will find doing the heavy work on a farm. Every man would be pretty well satis fied If he were as Important as a book agent tries to make him believe. A really popular young man is ono who can show the visiting girl a good time without damaging his local fences. The man who thinks he is wise enough to be his own lawyer, probably is, if he is good enough to keep out of trouble. If It Is referred to as a "financial trans action," there is probably less real money Involved than if 4t were merely called a "deal." There are many qualities which may go toward making a man a favorite with his fellows, but wearing good clothes Isn't among them.

THE. TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURKALTHUESDAY AUGUST 15, 1907. 5 HIT fllHJDN HEAD. Wni. Zimmerman Appeals to Majesty of the Law. John Dye Uses Fists With Tell- Effect. TIIEX HE GOT A GUN. Former Saloonkeeper Thought It Time to Call Halt. Thfr Trouble Came About Over a Farm. A warrant was Issued Wednesday bv Judge Simon of the city court, rharrlnr John Dve. a farmer living about seven miles southeast of the city, with assault and battery. Dye win be taken Into custody some time today. "William Zimmerman filed the in formation with the county attorney's office on which the warrant was is sued. Zimmerman is well known to v. Tnnokana whose memory runs back some thirty years. He was look ed upon at that time the pre-prohi-bition days as one of the most promi nent saloon keepers in the city, his place on East Sixth street, just off Kansas avenue, being one of the most pretentious in the city. He has also been given credit of having been one of the arch-conspirators to that rath er ludicrous trick which resulted in shaving all the hair from the tail of the horse owned by the late R. B. Welch, on the event of Mr. Welch's election as county attorney on a pro hibition ticket. Zimmerman has been a saloon keeper in Kansas City, Mo., for many years but is well provided with real estate in Shawnee county and among his holdings is a large farm near the one on which Mr. Dye lives. Zim merman has been in the habit of try ing to run this farm with a certain amount of absent treatment, coming to" it only when it was necessary to tend to the planting and reaping of crops. He has kept some stock on the farm and for a time Dye had been caring for them on a salary. Dye was relieved of this duty some time ago. According to the story told by Zim merman, and on which the warrant was issued against Dye, he had been around his farm for a few days look ing after things when he happened to meet Dye in the road. He says that Dye demanded $100 from him as be ing due on a debt. There was some argument about this which resulted In Dye punching Zimmerman in the head, and Zimmerman had sufficient marks on his head to show that the blows had some effect. This was on Monday of this week. Zimmerman told that on the next day as he was passing along the road Dye ran out toward him with a gun in his hand, but that the gun was taken away by Dye's wife before he had a chance to do any damage with it. if he had really Intended to do any. After this outbreak of Dye's, Zimmerman thought it was time for him to call on the-law so he went tothe court house yesterday and swore out the warrant for Dye's arrest. LITTLE TEDDY BEAR.

Little Teddy Bear, five years old, is i?.e.pe.t and pr,(3e ot the Pawnee Bill Historic W ild West and Great Far East show, which will visit this city for two performances on Monday, August 26.

Result of Old Quarrel About Terms of Franchise. Little Teddy Bear. Who Is With Pawnee Bill. Pawnee Bill became the guardian of the little fellow soon cfter. The show man was visiting the Rosebud reserva tion in South Dakota when he learned the story of little Teddy Bear's hard lot. The squaw who had the boy in charge was glad to be relieved of him and he became a member of the Paw nee Bill household. He has firmly es tablished himself in the affections of the childless custodian and his wife. Little Teddy Bear spends -the summer season with the big amusement insti tution, wandering from city to city. His winters are passed in Pawnee, Ok., which his guardian founded. He is mastering the Knglish language under the tuition of Mrs. Gordon W. Lillie wife of the showman. The transition of the boy into an effete" type of modern civilisation is watched with curious interest by the Indian warriors of the Pawnee Bill or ganlzation, who do not approve of the proceeding, and who lure him to their wigwams for remonstrance whenever opportunity presents itself. His faith remains staunch, however, in his white guardian. Pawnee Bill has planned a college course for little Teddy Bear, and a subsequent business career, in one of the many commercial enterprises In which he is interested. A SANTA FE WRECK. MRS. M'HENRY ARRESTED With Her Appearance in Wlnfield an Old Charge Is Resurrected. Wlnfield Mrs. Myra McHenry ar rived in town again Tuesday after noon and was immediately arrested on an old charge, that of destroying a whisky advertising poster. This act occurred near the South Winfield sta tion last spring, since which time she has not been back here. Having read In the Courier that she would be ar rested on her return here, she wrote this paper that she would come back as soon as she finished the tour she then had in view. She gleefully in formed us that she had Just destroyed sixteen whisky posters in Wichita and was going to keep it up. When she reached Winfield Tues day afternoon she at once hunted up the officers to make her presence known. Constable Ed Coats had the warrant, issued the day the poster was destroyed. She was taken before Justice Earhart and trial set. Sid Cure went on her bail for her appear ance, and Sol Smith was retained as her attorney. Cars in the Ditch Near Conway But "Xo One Seriously Injured. McPherson The Santa Fe east bound passenger train, due here at noon, is in the ditch about a half mile west of Conway. While the wreck was of a dangerous nature none of the fifty passengers on board was serious ly hurt although a number were badly shaken up. A spreading rail was thought to have been the cause of the accident. The train was nearing Conway and at the time was going only at the rate of about ten miles an hour. Had it been going at full speed the damage would have been much greater and it is probable that lives would have been lost. Telephone messages from Con way state that the baggage car, smok er and chair car are all in the ditch parts of the cars in the mud up to the windows. About fifty rails were torn up. FOR VIOLATING FISH LAWS. Crops Poor in Oklahoma. Reports have been received here from people having friends who are farming in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory that the crop, particularly in the Territory. Is almost entirely ruin ed on account of the dry weather. One man from Broken Arrow, I. T.. reports that, in his locality the late corn 1s a complete failure and that he hopes to get enough from his early corn to feed Ms horses. He further stated that there had been no rain In his section f the country since the 27th of June. Bailey Blue Has So Wife. Bailey Blue filed a suit with the clerk of the district court today asking for an absolute divorce from his wife Frances V. Blue. According to the petition the couple were married at Monmouth, Warren county. Illinois, in January, 1895. Mr. Blue asserts that his wife deserted him in September of the same year and has refused to live with since that time. He has been a resident of Shawnee county for some time. Two Cowley County Fishermen Are Given Severe Fines. Winfield. Richard Rowe and C, Isenagle were tried before a Jury in justice tarnart s court Tuesday after noon, and found guilty of violating the fish and game laws. They were fined 25 each, assessed 110 each for game warden's fee. and the justice's and sheriff s fees made the total amount for both $107.65. They paid up wtih- out rurtner objection.

Address mSUanOJt REGULATOR CO. At I maim. nnr i c o The city of Olathe is restrained from repealing a franchise ordinance grant ed the Missouri and Kansas Interurban railroad until a hearing can be had on September 2 In Topeka on the ap plication for the issuance of a tem porary restraining order. The injunc tion was granted by Judge Smtlh Mc Pherson of the United States circuit court who is acting in that capacity during tile absence of Judge John C. Pollock. The injunction was granted yesterday at Red Oak, Iowa, but the papers in the case were filed here in Topeka only today. The Missouri and Kansas Interurban is an electric line connecting Kansas City and Olathe and already in operation. One mile has been built in Olathe under a franchise grant ed in January of this year. On August 5 an ordinance or resolution was pre pared repealing this franchise ordin ance, the council passing the same last evening. However, it does not go into effect until published and the restrain ing order will operate before this time. In addition to this a $75,000 suit for damages will be filed this evening in the Johnson county district r court against the city of Olathe by tha In terurban company because the city council repealed an ordinance passed one year ago. These two actions at law mark the progress of a big sized row between the Interurban company and the city officials of Olathe which has been on for the past two years. About one year ago the flrst franchise ordinance was passed, later before the road could be built into the city this franchise was repealed. Considerable quibbling en sued but in January another ordinance was passed granting the desired fran chise. The road was built into the city the company agreeing to pay $8,000 towards the widening: of Park street. one of the streets down which right of way was granted, in addition to $4,000 in the way of a bonus. Friction then originated over tne Davment of the money which the company had agreed to make and as a result of this the city council of Olathe headed by Mayor K. R. Ogg attempted to repeal the franchise or dinance. The road claims mat it would be irreparably damaged if It should have Its franchise annulled and that it would greatly depreciate interests worth $75,000, represented in trackage and right of way In the town of Olathe. A representative hurriedly made the trip to Judge McPherson at Red Oak.. Ia.. this week and secured the necessary authority to tie up a repeal of the franchise-until a hearingcould be had on the merits of the ease. As a further "get ixack" at the city council and mayor a damage suit of $75,000 was filed today In the John son county district court against the city of Olathe which is claimed by reason of damages sustained by the council repealing the first franchise which was issued a year ago. 'We had intended to build on to Topeka," said Mr. Hunt, a represen tative of the interurban roaa, out we are running into so much trouble at Olathe that I question whether we will attempt to go any further. We are maintaining an hour and a half schedule between Kansas City and Olathe and are operating the whole length of the line." In the petition of Gladys E. Fisher for a divorce from her husband, K. H. Fisher, which was filed with the clerk of the district court yesterday, it is set up that because his "cruelty" of divers forms toward her, it is Impossi ble for them to live together any longer. They have agreed to divide up their property Consisting of their home at No. 1400 Logan street and its furnishings in an amicable way that Is agreeable to both. It has also been cgreed between them that Mr. Fisher i9 to see their son, Ralph E., two years old, at all reasonable times, but she demands the custody of the son as well as an absolute divorce.

When Mrs. Anna Pease picked up her pall of suds and started to scrub down the stairs of the Crim inal court building last night she was no longer the wife of William Pease, son of Millionaire "Jim" Pease, politi cian and Republican boss of the Twenty-fifth ward.

It was claimed to be the champion of champions, having won first prize at eight successive stato fairs, and also a. the Pan-American exposition. The fowl was valued at a high figure and was considered to be one of the fin est blooded chickens in the country. Of beautiful form and fine color, this rooster was one of the eights qf this section of the country, and chicken fan ciers from all over the United States came here to see him. He had been taught many tricks by his proud owner, and would follow him around like a dog. It was not an un usual sight to see Mr. McCord walking along the street with the big rooster gravely stalking along behind him. His intelligence was remarkable; he seemed to understand many words, and respond to many Fimple orders. For instance, his owner would tell him to sing, and the bird would cro until told to stop, when he would become as silent as .the grave. while Mr. McCord always endeavored to discourage the bird's tendency to fight on the slightest provocation, he ad mits that there was one occasion when he rejoiced In the rooster's ability to put up a good battle. This occasion was when the bird whip ped a pointer owned by a neighbor. The dog had made a dash at some chickens in the yard when "Old Bill" that was the name of the rooster speared on the scene and attacked the Intruder. The battle that followed was a hot one, with honors about even, until the rooster jumped on the dog's head and began pecking at the animal's eyes. This w as more than the dog could stand, and with a howl he gave up the fight and fled. GIlllDO Addition In the heart of the new shop district offers the best inducement in Tope ka real estate today.

"The matter Is that I am stricken with death," continued Mrs. Dolby, as she wondered whether she looked pale or not pale enoush for the occasion. "Yes, Samuel, I have got my summons to go, and you won't be bothered with me but a few hours longer. By mid night you will be free to marry again, and my spirit will be playing on a golden harp, I didn't want to so until I had done up twenty Jars of straw berries, but when we are called we can't hold back. Do you think you'll miss me when I'm gone?" Thi mining circular announced that the ".Honest Joe" claim, which was one of the five claims situated oyer the celebrated Jim Crow copper vein,-had bored deep enough to ascertain.-that the said -vein was fourteen miles thick by two broad, and that it was esti mated that fourteen hundred million tons of copper were lying there ready to be snaked out and sent to market. Deacon Dolby was taking it ail in and did not' answer his: wife's question. Whether-she expected it to be answer ed or not. she continued: "When you started for the postoffice, Samuel, I was singing away as happy as a lark ana expected to live for twen ty vcars yet. Then Mrs. Edwards came over to borrow my four-pound flat iron.; She was in an awful hurry, but she thought I, hadn't ought to eo on living In ienorance of certain things Samuel, two weeks aro you went over to Liverpool., jf ou said you went to see a five-iegged calf. i.

Samuel, your sins have rouna you out. mere was a cir cus in Liverpool that day. You went over to see the circus. You were one of the first ones in and one of the last ones out. U-m-m-m! If anybody had told me that I would live to see this dav I wouldn't have believed It. Deacon Dolby at a circus!" Tears and sobs came at this June ture. and the Deacon seemed a little uneasy. But ror tne circular ne mignt have "asserted that he went to the circus simply to see the hyenas, but the paper interested -him. The shares in the "Honest Soer' were $100 each, but that 'the widow .and orphans and min isters and Deaons of the country might participate-iin a good thing they had been cut to $5 each for a short time. The President of the company. who was a noble man, and could not lie, assured all stockholders of 100 tier cent, dividends at the end of a vear. One cent down and a cent a month would buy ten shares rlsht off the reel. "Yes, went to a circus," said Mrs. Dolby, after a breathless silence lasting fives minutes "went to a circus and bought lemonade and peanuts! You were seen there. You were seen to laugh and snort at the clowns' jokes. You were seen to look with your mouth wide open when the circus women were ridinz horseback on one leg You did all these things, Samuel. and then came back to your poor -if mid innocent home and sat down and told about a five-legsed calf! It's a good thing I've got my summons to go I never could have lived after finding out what sort of a man you were Samuel, do you deny going to the circus? It's Just possible that people took some one else for you. Do you want to hold my hand and deny jt?" Mr. Dolby put down his right foot and elevated his left and went through the scratching operation again. But for that and the circular he might have filed a general denial. He had at tended the circus, but only to see the elephants. A hired man had once con tended that they naa wings ana learn ers, and ho wanted to see for him self. The circular went on to say that the"Honest Joe" mine was no swindle, and to advise the public to beware of all other copper mines, iney -were simply holes In the ground xor tne innocent and unwary to fall into. He had tust decided to sell a cow and Invest when Mrs. Dolby said: "Mrs. Edwards said she couldn't stay another minute after telling that you were seen at the circus, but I wouldn't let her go. I told her that I was a dying woman,, and that she must tell me all. Then she said that you and a lot more men were at Snyder's gro cery a few nights ago. and Snyder pass ed around a pail of hard cider. You know what hard cider is. Samuel. You know how oily and deceiving it is. You know that it's stronger than beer, and that every Deacon in the country turns, his back on it. Did you? Not at all! You were one of the first to drink, and they say -t ruzzled-it down like so much buttermilk. It wasn't ten min utes afterwards when you were utter ing war whoops and Baying you could lick any man in this town. When you came home that night I thought there was something wrong with you. Your eyes looked funny and your tongue seemed too thick, but I didn't ask any questions. I thought' your brother out in Indiana might be dead, and that you had got a letter and was feeling bad. Samuel, tell me that you didn't drink as much as two quarts of that old cider. Tell me you didn't whoop and want to fight. I don't want to die thinking you have turned pirate in your old age."

T WMOOP ANO WISNT TO fiskt; It was a strong appeal. It was one that made the Deacon smack his Hps, but he heeded not. That circular was taking up all his attention. The pres ident of the "Honest Joe" mine had figured ont .that am n with ten thou sand dollars worth of stock would clear more hard cash in one year in divid ends than the owner of five hundred acres of cabbage could in ten. He had almost decided on -selling a second cow when Mrs. Dolby was heard from again. 'Wljen Mrs. Edwards had told me about the hard cider I thought I should die on the spot, but I held on to my eelf and says I: "'Is there anything else?"' 'There is,' says she. 'Then tell it before I go.''" Can you stand It?' 'I'll try to.' "And then, Samuel, she told me the worst of all. She said that there was a fakir in town the other day selling something in bottles to prolong human life by twenty years. It was fifty cents bottle and tne don t believe it was anything more than peppermint es sence, but up you walks and lays down a dollar ror two bottles and says to Mr. Jones, who was there, that you proposed to outlive your old woman by forty years.

I want to know before I leave this world af tears." Mr. Dolby didn't turn and look her in the eye. He didn't even turn enough for her to observe that he was blush ing. The president of the "Honest Joe" was winding up his circular by admonishing his readers to write him that day that evening that hour, be fore those' fourteen hundred million tons of copper could turn Into Chicago embalmed beef, and he was mentally figuring on what price he could get for his two cows and horse. "You didn't refer to me as Mrs. Dol- bv. or your wife or Rachel," sobbed the woman on the lounse, "but as 'the old womatf You didn t care how soon died, but you wanted to live forty years after me!

It was his first intention to do this, he said, but on second thought ne decided his sacrifice would not help the Corean cause. There is nothine of my government left in Corea." he continued, "'"and there is nothing to die for, just at present. Why should I throw away a life which may yet be useful?

Saved Sons of Farmer Bnt Refused Home and Job. Jersey City, N. J. Heroism is meas ured by the sacrifice the hero willingly makes. So what greater hero than a tramp, who dropped a sandwich he was eating and took a bath to save two boys from drowning? John Phelps, farmer, near Center vllle, N. J., the boys' grateful father, offered the tramp a good home and good wages as a farm hand. "Anything," said the tramp with a shudder, "anything but work." William Phelps. 13, and Charles, 11, went swimming In a basin of the Mor ris canal near their home today. Charles dived, struck his head on a sunken canal boat, and floated, nearly senseless. William Jumped to his rescue. Charles automatically seized his brother, and, struggle as he might, William could not free himself. The brothers were sinking when around a turn of the road tramped the hero hobo. He was devouring a sand wich which a farmer's wife had Just given him, and wondering, probably, where his next meal was coming from. "Dusty Roads" saw the brothers writhing, choking. In the water. The sandwich fell In the dust.- Without as much as throwing off his ragged coat the tramp ran to the canal and Jumped in. He took a few strokes, seized Charles Phelrs' arms and tore them from around William's neck. i "Get to shore, young fellow,", he said to William. "I'll take care of this kid." So he did, and showed skill in re viving Charles on the canal bank. When the boys got on their clothes they insisted that the tramp go home with them. Their father gave "Weary Willie" $10, a suit of clothes, a hat, and a pair of shoes. The hero swore the dinner Mrs. Phelps spread for him was the best he had had in years. Then he refused to enact the final deed of hero ism to work. "Where are you going?" asked Mrs. Phelps, pityingly, as the tramp took up his Journey. "To where?" said he, dreamily.' STUFFED WITH MONEY.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAL THURSDAY EVILNINGr, AUGUST 15, 1907. FELL OFFA TRAIN Jlearle Reede disappears "While Beating His Way. Was Biding: on Steps Pullman. cf a WITIUOTIIO BATTLES. One Legged Boy Now Searching for Companion. Dropped From the Train Jiear Smith Center. Does the mangled and crushed body of Merle Reede. whose home Is in Rapid City, N. D., lie along the Rock Island tracks somewhere between Smith Center and twenty miles this side? Is a question which is causing Otho Battles, his companion, some sleepless nights. Otho Battles, who is a cripple with one leg gone, runs the mall wagon to the Union Pacific depot at night. Sat urday evening he started in company with Merle Reede, who is about 19 years of age, to enjoy his vacation In Denver. The boys, who were beating their way, crawled up on the steps of two Pullman sleepers, but as the platforms were closed it was neces sary for the riders to crouch over in order to maintain a position on the steps. The Reede boy was carrying the crutches of his crippled friend. The boys had chosen the left hand side of the train. Battles occupying the steps of the coach ahead. when the train was twenty miles this side of Smith Center, he looked for Reed only to see the vacant steps. For a moment Battles was stunned. What had become of his companion? The train had not stopped since he had seen him last. At Smith Center Battles rushed, regardless of conse quences, to the train crew to learn if they had thrown his companion from the train. The train crew denied any knowledge whatever of the missing lad. Battles, who without his crutches, was forced to hop on one foot, waited until Sunday in Smith Center to re trace his journey by daylight. His search proved futile, but he admits that it would have been an easy mat ter for his companion, to have been thrown down the steep enbankment into the tall weeds lining the right of way in the locality where he first missed his friend. No tidings of the lost boy awaited his anxious companion at Topeka. Battles remained here until last night, hoping to get some encouraging word, but hearing nothing and not willing to leave any stones unturned to find his friend, if he is still within the power of help, the faithful cripple friend started out once more on the fatal No. 39 to make another effort. Reede's parents have not yet been notified of their son's disappearance. Battles wishes to make one more ef fort before giving up. hope. Battles lost his leg in a mail wagon accident several years ago. He- nnv TiBs a damage suit pending against Dr. H. H. Keith for malpractice in amputat ing his leg. NEAR SIXTY THOUSAND.

Betts and his auto mobile were the hero of a "partial retribution" case last nisht. Just as the show closed at the Air Dome, and the people were leaving the enclosure, two young men drove by in a buesrv. and made some insulting- remark to two women standing on the curbstone. Senator Betts. who was Just behind the gay youths, in his automobile. drove the machine in front of their horse and grabbed the reins. One of the men drew the buggy whip, and slashed Betts across the arm and face until he released the horse. They then attempted to drive north on Kan sas evenue, and in front of the trans fer station were again stopped, a man, whose name could not be learned, running into the street and seizing the horse's reins. Again the whip came into play, and the stranger was se verely slashed across the face before he released his hold and dropped back Into the large crowd which had gath ered. By this time Betts had again overhauled the insulters and blocked their way with his auto. The men turned back, and drove rapidly on Tenth avenue. Betts called Policeman Keller, who got into the auto, and the pursuit was begun. On Tenth the men were overhauled and stopped by the policeman, who took them to the station. Here Betts and the prisoners exchanged words, one of the men voicing a desire to whip the Shawnee senator. "I will haul you out to the city limits and whip you right now," Betts is al leged to have answered. More words followed, and Betts left In a huff, after declaring that he would not appear against the men. "Turn them loose, for all I care, he said, and went away In his auto. The officer who made the arrest had not names from the police docket, as they thought they would not hold the offend ers without testimony against them. The. officer who made the sarrest had not seen or heard the alleged insult offer ed to the women. The names were writ ten with an Indelible pencil, and the erasure was not a complete success. The namesas they show in the smear on the police register, are James Aignes, aged 21, ana John Doilman, aged 22. When the attentlor of Chief Eaton was called to the erasure, he ordered the names restored, and this i.oto added: "Released for laek.of prosecution." BAND IS MUSTERED OUT. Second Regiment No Longer Has Musical Organization. Adjutant General J. W. F. Hughes this morning issued the following or der concerning the band of the Second infantry, Kansas National guard. "Ae their request, baped upon busi ness reasons, the band of the Second infantry. Kansas National guard located at Emporia, is this day mustered out of service. The members of the above organization are hereby honorably- dis charged from military service of this state." Col. W. W. Denison has gone to Em poria to pack up the equipment of the band. Time was when the Second regiment band was counted one of the be6t mili tary bands in the state. The band lead ei left Emporia, however, and it seems there was no one to take his place, for the band went to pieces rapidly, and finally asked to be mustered out. All of the band instruments are own ed by the individual members, but the band members had two uniforms apiece. 4nd a lot of camp equipment belonging to the state. Col. P. M.

Next Meeting Will Pittsburg. Go to What closely resembled a "bolt" took place this morning at the convention of the State Federation of Labor' meeting. About 75 miners' who are delegates to the conveitnon walked out of the hall and stayed out for an hour and a half while the convention was in progress. Finally they returned, after holding a caucus of their own. The walk-out occurred when the con vention refused to take an adjournment for 45 minutes to permit the miners' delegation to hold a conference. This w-as the first business which came up at this morning's session. Frank Gilday, I he state mine inspector, made a motion for an adjournment of the convention to permit the miners to hold a conference on matters of their own. Some of the delegates resisted this motion. It was claimed that the miners were trying to delay the convention in the hopes that some of tho delegates would get tired of waiing for the election of officers and go home. When the vote was taken, the miners were beaten, and the con vention proceeded to take up its busi ness. Then the miners got up and left the hall. "The whole thins was done." said on.3 of the delegates, "for the purpose of weakening the strength of the Walker crowd in the contest for offices this af ternoon. The miners' delegates are nearly all here on mv of 14 Kn nnr da v from their local unions, and they are willing to stay. Some of the miscellan eous trades union renresentatives are here without pay. and the miners thought by securing an adicumment and delaying business they might be able to tire out these other delegates, who are generally friendly to Walker." This afternoon the election of officers will take place and a big fight is prom ised. The Walker crowd has made up a complete elate on all the offices to be filled, and printed lists have been pre pared for distribution, but these lists have not been made public The Wa'k- er people claim the election of their ticket by about 50 majority. Pittsburg- for Next Convention. It is also claimed that Pittsburg will be chosen as the place for the next convention. W. L. A. Johnson, who it is claimed is the man who is backing the fight on Mr. Walker, said this morning: We have fixed up no slate, and the claim that we have done so is made for the purpose of prejudicing us with the federation. I do not know who the candidates will be for the various offi ces." The other crowd makes no secret of the fact that there are two hostile fac tions in the convention, but it Insists that neither one should be designated as an "anti-federation" faction, because both factions are composed of federa tion men. They prefer to call the two crowds the "Walker crowd" and the "Johnson crowd." IT DOES ITS WORK. Writ of Assistance for Brewery Re r ceivers Is Successful.' The "writ of assistance" which the receivers for the brewers secured from the supreme court for the purpose of securing the help of the sheriff of Wy andotte county in enforcing their or ders seems to have been effective. The sheriff today reported that he had eject ed Fred Battice, who wouldn't pay rent, from one of the buildings owned by the Schlitz company, and that Max Strack. who was in one of the build- lnas of the Fremont Land and Im provement company, has paid over to the receivers all the rent due, and will be allowed to remain in the building. Battice and Streck refused to recog nize the right of the receivers to col lect rent from them while they were occupying buildings under the custody of the receivers. UNCLE SAM CO. SELLS OIL. Places Two Thousand Barrels on Mar ket During July. According to the July business re ported by the state, oil inspector, the Uncle Sam Oil company manufactured and placed on the market over 2,000 barrels of oil during July, which shows that the business hasn't ceased under the receivership. The total receipts of the department during the month were $2,862, and the total paid into the state treasury was $2,189. This Is an Increase of about $300 in gross receipts over last year.

With That Exception the Associated Press Has Maintained Service. Chicago Record Herald Aug. 14.1 Save for a lapse, of two hour and five minutes yesterday, the Associated Press maintained its service uninter ruptedly to the newspapers holding memberships. The strike impeded its service throughout the west during the day and only the greater "stories"1 were "covered" in detail. But every item of news deemed worthy of relaying is de clared to have been telegraphed to the Chicago office of the association by its agents. The desertion of numerous telegraph operators of the company had been off set when the regular morning work of the agency began yesterday. On what is denominated the eastern circuit ev ery city of the ten, save one, promptly responded to signals, uoieao was the missing city. The cities which responded to the call of the operator were New York, Phila delphia, Boston. Washington, Pittsburg, Tbungstown, Ohio, Cleveland and De troit. Chicago, the tenth city of the list, was fully equipped for communi cation with every other point. Colonel Charles S. Diehl, assistant general manager of- the Associated Press had made no especial effort to secure a new wire crew. Two Wire chiefs of the office promptly took their places at the keys when the operators walked out and the- association is said to have many pensioners and well wishers on its lists who are ready to fill any breach in the ranks of its em ployes. Slow South and West. During the morning communication with southern and western cities o the country was difficult, but before. noon almost every town of importance- was in touch with the headquarters of the news agency. The Western Union wires were first called into ser vice to reach the towns, but within a few hours many of them were in di rect communication with the Chicago office. Throughout the west the effort was less successful and Minneapolis and St. Paul were the first cities to again resume news service to Chicago. No especial efforts or knowledge of tele graphic expediencies were made necessary to the officials of the Asso ciated Press. Applications for posi tions in the service filed within a few hours of the announcement of the strike exceeded in number the total of resignations. At the Chicago offices the managers declare the positions of the deserting telegraphers could have been filled within four hours, had it been necessary. Before sunset the wires of the com pany were in touch" with every Impor tant point in the west. After 2 p. m. Colonel Diehl tilted his chair back and announced that? he had time to spare for interviews. "It would be preposterous to say that the association had not been in trouble during the day," he said, "but every thlng is in shape now, and while we are watching events we are not worry ing. "I will confess to ajmild surprise when I saw the ease-with which the regula work was taken utv.TodaY and disposed of. -When ttur wlrefcuCeiie idead -fortwo hours last nightMt instilled a feeling of uneasiness, and the sound of the first clicks are as welcome a any sounds have heard in years. "But this limit of silence is not the greatest In the history of Chicago or other offices. Seve.-al storms frequently have tied up our wires for a longer per iod- But when the lines opened up again from the first.; city we knew the strike was over, so far as service on the Associated Press was concerned. 'No man or body of men can prevent the nooplo of the country from obtain Ing the news of the day.

Yesterday afternoon two of the "Hasty Messenger boys were riding In state, swinging their legs over the back of a wagon in North Topeka. A Western Union messenger boy rode along on his wheel. Immediately the other klds.who had not the least personal interest in the strike, commenced to split their throats with, "Scab." "Scab."

If there is anything that the house wife dreams about in the summer time It is a firelcss cooker, and that is just what the department of agricul ture is introducing to the farming community in one of its bulletins. Of course, it sounds almost too good to be true, but the department says that ex periments have been made, and the nreless cooker has delivered the goods. The theory is that many eatables, especially those that are boiled, are better when cooked for a long time at low temperature than they are -cooked for a short time at a high temperature. Vegetables keep more of their flavor and nutriment by the' slow method, and meats of all kinds are more tender and palatable. And another joy is that a mere fraction of the' fuel is used in the proctss. The contrivance that the department has been experimenting with comes from Norway and is known as the "hay box cooker." Any man can make one for himself. The cooker has been in use in Nor way for a long time and was a part of the Norwegian exhibit at the Paris exposition in 1867. It is simply a box, lined thickly with straw or hay or newspapers, with a close-fitting nest that will hold a tightly-covered bucket. The bucket contains a -chicken or a piece of meat or anything else that is to be cooked. The bucket is placed on a fire, its contents brought to a boil, and then the bucket is tightly covered, dropped into its nest in the hay cooker and covered up. It is allowed to stay there, without any other source of hear.,-., two or three times as long as jvotUd be ordinarily required. The heat, of boiling water is retained by the. hay-filled box. and the cooking is done at a minimum expenditure of fuel and labor. The bulletin says that the scheme of slow cooking is an old one. Count Kumford having devised a cooking box of much the same sort many years ago. It has also been found that eggs placed in boiling water, cov ered and allowed to stand were per fectly cooked by the time they were cold enough to eat. The practical application of the cooker to family economy Is in the preparation of meats, vegetables, macaroni and cereals that are the bet ter for Iong,-,slow, cooking. The water may be brought,- to a boil at night, and the food placed in the hay cook er, where It will be hot and ready for breakfast in the morning. Soup made In the same way In the early morning Is in prime condition for dinner. In fact almost anything that is wanted for dinner can be cooked in the morn ing and will be ready by the time din ner is wanted, without keeping up the fire at all. A single burner of an oil or gas stove that will boil the water will suffice, for preparing a whole meal, and it can be set away in the nay box and allowed to cook itself, without heating up the dining room or kitchen. If several receptacles are to be used at the same time for meat and dif ferent sorts of vegetables more than :pn buck$t-neds to be used. In fact, an old-fashioned ice chest that -will hold three, or four buckets in a row can be divided off into nests tightly packed with felt or paper, and with a thick covering inside the lid. The buckets must have tight-fitting tin covers. With such an arrangement it is said that a W;hole meal can be easily and economically prepared with one boiling of water and without any smell or heat. The German government has been experimenting with similar cookers for the benefit of poor families having to economize in .their fuel bills. The American Army Jia;Tlso been trying tnem, not iroro,. mouyes or economy, but for convenience. It has been found that beans, vegetables and anything else that the army wants to cook can be loaded into the tireless cookers when'camp is -broken in the morning. and,; these cookers, can be hauled by the transport wagons all day and a hot, well-cooked dinner produced, ready to serve, when camp Is made m the evening. The commissary general says he has found that the tireless cockers work excellently for army purposes, and there seems no parti cular reason why they should not work even better in civil life. Something of the same plan was advocated a number of years ago by Edward Atkinson. of anti-imperial fame, who produced the Aladdin cooker, that he said at the time was destined' to. (revolutionize housekeep Ing all over the world. His cooker worked on, -the same elow-cooklng principle, but instead of depending on boiling Water for its heat, it was plac ed over an ordinary lamp. The cook er was the same sort of an insulated box with an Inner compartment of thin sheet metal and an air space be tween. There was a hole in the bottom for the top of the lamp chimney, and an other opening at the top for the draft. Cooking was carried on in the box as in an ordinary oven, and all sorts of things from boiled onions to rice pud dings could be cooked in the oven at the same time without any mingling of flavors. Mr. Atkinson gave many demon strations of his cooker in the larger cities and achieved some remarkable results. He required two or three times as lorfe to cook anything in his insulated box as one required on a stove, but he would start it going in the afternoon in a large hall, and af ter lecturing would open the oven and serve supper to his audience, all sorts of meats, vegetables and puddings, and even bread, being cooked simply by the heat of an ordinary reading lamp. The cooking box rested on thin Iron legs over the top of the lamp, and Mr. Atkinson pointed out that it did not Interfere with the use of the lamp for illuminating purposes, and that there was no smell. The wife could put on the breakfast in the evening and the familv could sit around, and read and then go to bed. leaving the lamp hnrnlnir nil nlerht. awakening in the morning to find their meal ready cooked. It was a beautiful scheme, and a good many cookers were sold, and some of them at least did all that was claimed for them. But for some reas on they never secured any vogue and the slow-cooking scheme languished. Whether the agricultural depart ment's tireless cooker will have any better luck Is a ouestion. But there is no ouestion at all that It will work. Washington Star. Standard Declares a Dividend. Associated Press Leased Wlre.J New York, Aug. 15.

A MYSTERY CLEARED. They Quarreled and He Stabbed Her in the Back. His Story Is Corroborated by Mrs. St. Leger Goold. Marseilles, France After confessing the murder of Emma Levin, a wealthy Swedish woman, whose dismembered body, found in his baggage, caused the arrest of himself and wife upon their arrival here from Monte Carlo, August 6. ere St. Lecpr Goold committed sui- cide some time during the night. His Docy was lound hanxinx by tne necs. from the bars of the celL window when the turnkey made his rounds witn breakfast for the prisoners. This "trunk mystery" created much excitement, especially as it was soon learned that the Goolds, who are Eng ilsh, were of good family. Their ex planations of how the corpse came to be in their baggage were in no sense convincing, and the confession of today does not come as a surprise, s Goold made his confession to the ei amlnlng magistrate. He related coolly all the details of the crime. He alone had slain the woman, he declared, and I it was he who cut up her body, al- though his wife had helped him pack :it away In their baggage. After this 1 had been done they both agreed to Journey to Marseilles, where they planned to cast the body Into the sea. Wife Admits Ilcr Part. I Mrs. Goold also confessed her part in the crime. She said her husband had promised to give Emma Levin $100 for a certain reason, but she demanded $100 more, which she wanted to give to a man friend. To this Mr. Goold ob jected, and said he would not pay the 'extra hundred. Thereupon the woman 'abused him. Referring to what happened next, Goold says in his confession: "I had been drinking, and, becoming angry, I seized a hunting knife and buried it in Emma's back.- She fell dead. The next day I dism- inhered the body with a saw and knife and placed the 'torso in a trunk and the head and legs in a valise. I only stabbed the woman once. The other wrunds on her ."body must have been caused by shaking around in the trunk." Denies Intent to Rob. Goold said they carried off the wo man's jewels, not for their value, but in order to prevent their discovery in his apartment. Referring to his family, Goold said his grandfather was a baronet and hjs father an Irish magistrate. He said he had at one time served secretly on the Irish land commission in Dublin. In 3893 he moved to Montreal, where he says he made a fortune. He then went to Holland, and later moved to Monte Carlo. Mrs. Goold corroborated every thing her husband said. Goold and his wife, who are. both el derly and of good English families, ar rived at Marseilles from Monte Carlo on August 6. Their baggage consisted of a trunk and a suitcase. How Crime Was Learned. The "trunk was left at the station to "be registered for London, while Goold and .his wife, taking the suitcase, went to a hotel for breakfast. Blood oozing from the trunk aroused suspicion. It w-as opened and found to contain the 'torso of t woman. The Goolds were arrested, and in the suitcase the man carried were found the missing por tions of the body. Later the body was Hentlfled as that of Emma Levin, the widow of a rich Stockholm merchant. She had made the acquaintance of the Goolds at Monte Carlo. When arrested the Goolds told the police an incredible story. They said the dead woman had been stabbed to the heart in their apartment in Monte Carlo by a man named Burker, who ran away immediately after committing the crime, leaving the body lying In their dining room. They said they were trying to convey the remains to Eng land for burial so as to avoid trouble at Alonte Carlo. BREAD PILLS CURED. Hs. Eddy Tells Questioners now She Discovered Christian Science. Associated Press Leased Wire. Concord, N. H., Aug. 16. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, head of the Christian Scientist church, under went a mental examination late yes terday by the masters who had been appointed to determine her compet ency in business matters. The ex amination was made at Mrs. Eddy's home. Pleasantview, In this city, by Judge Aldrich. Dr. Jelly and Attorney Park and the masters. The only other persons present were General Frank S. Streeter. Mrs. Eddy's counsel In the case: William E. Chandler, counsel for the "next friends," and a court stenographer. Mrs. Eddy received her visitors in her private sitting room and by ar rangement with her counsel, she an swered a series of questions asked of her by the three masters, who took turns in examining her upon various points. Judge Aldrich began the Interview by assuring Mrs. Eddy of his inten tion to make the call as agreeable as possible to her. Mrs. Eddy thanked him. adding: "My only difficulty is a slight deaf ness. I can see to read common pica but I can't hear distinctly without some difficulty." Judge Aldrich asked Mrs. Eddy if she felt fatigued to speak of it at once. She said: "I can work hours at my work day and night, without fatigue when it la in this line of thought, but when I go to wordllness, I am sometimes fatigued by it and yet these things are indispensible, and I regard them as sacred." Judge Aldrich, saying that he had some life insurance coming due, asked Mrs. Eddy's advice as to how to in vest the proceeds. Not understanding him, at first, Mrs. Eddy replied that she put no money into life insurance. "God insures my life," she said. Then thinking that Judge Aldrich desired Information as to her own investment she described the trusteeship created by her in March, saying that it was entirely her own idea. In reply to questions by Dr. Jelly, Mrs. Eddy started to describe the de velopment of Christian Science. She aaid that she was an invalid from childhood and that she became In terested in treating herself. .She studied homeopathy and from the most diluted of the attenuated medi cines used by homepathles, she proceeK d to make pellets containing no medi cines used by hemeopathys, she proceed treatment of cases. Then she. said to her patients, "Now you don't need .any medicine. You can go without it." This was her discovery of the science of mind. Mrs. Eddy was going to speak of her investigation Into spiritualism when the masters withdrew from the room, explaining that they feared she was growing weary. Returning after a brief interval they heard Mrs. Eddy describe, in answer to questions from Attorney Parker, her method of life. She said that she wrote or dictated all letters pertaining to her business, but later qualified with the remark: "Unless I don't know when they write." Again discussing Christian Science, she said: "A Christian Scien tist can no more make a person ill than they can be a sinner and a Chris tian Scientist. All the power they have comes from on high. We have no other power and no faith in any other power." In respect to the call at Pleasant View. General Streeter said that as counsel for Mrs. Eddy in the case, he was entirely satisfied with what re sulted. General Chandler said that his side, too, was satisfied, taking Into con sideration the fact that intentionlly Mrs. Eddy's alleged delusions were not touched upon save as she herself brought them up. Prior to the suspension of the main hearing for the purpose of visiting Pleasant View, the scope of the public Inquiry as to the testimony to be tak en was thoroughly threshed out by the opposing counsel. Judge Aldrich announced that previous delusions would not be considered as bearing upon Mrs. Eddy's mental capacity for business except wherein they might be directly called with the Issue of competency before the masters. He said that if Mrs. Eddy believed her son to be possessed of some influence which made him hostile to his mother thereby affecting her natural disposi tion toward him so far as her proper ty matters are concerned, such illu sions might be competent, or If, as stated, she has belief that malicious magnetism has in any way prevented perfect smoothness in the running of her business affairs, such belief might be admitted as having a bearing upon the case and her business capacity.. Following the visit to Pleasant View public hearing was resumed-for an hour and counsel for the plaintiffs tried to offer as testimony the deposi tion of Arthur T. Buswell of Vermont, taken in Boston last week. In which Mr. Buswell tried to talk about Mrs. Eddy's so called delusions of twenty years ago. Counsel for Mrs. Eddy ob jected on the ground that the time was too remote to have any bearing upon her present condition. The plaintiff's counsel then an nounced that they Intended to go back forty years to show that Mrs. Eddy had, during all this time, been gener ally Insane, and upon this point the plaintiffs counsel will give a legal ar gument.

SOUNDSKEY NOTE Booker Washington's Masterly Address to Negroes. Race In America Is Learning Lesson of Self Reliance. WATTT Tk Tsm v. n urii w m If He Could Be Born Again Would Prefer to Be Black. Proud of Race Which Has Made Such Splendid Progress. Booker T. Washington in his annual address as president of the National Negro Business Men's league last even ing at the auditorium gave some of the most wholesome food for thought and action to which the negroes of this sec tion have ever listened. Mr. Washing ton had something to say that he felt most keenly and although there was no attempt at oratory, it was a tnost telling speech. It was thoroughly optimistic and a plea for courage and determina tion and belief in himself on the part of the negro instead of whines and com plaints. He said in part: "In the minds of people whose opin ions are worth considering, there is no longer any question as to whether or no: the negro can be educated. It is a ques tion as to what extent the negro race Is using and is capable of using education so as to increase his productive ability. When proof Is asked of our ability to receive education we can point to the little bareheaded and barefooted pick aninny in' the Mississippi log cabin school, or we can point to-theNnegro youth In cap and gown In Oxford university. England. "The National Negro Business league has already more than Justified its eight years of existence. In the first place, It is teaching the race self-reliance. It Is teaching the race that success la to be found in one's own community and not in the seat of government at Washing ton. Let me give you an Illustration of the Influence of this organization: Be fore it came Into existence there were less than half a dozen negro banks own ed and controlled by our people, now there are thirty-four, and ten of these are in the state of Mississippi. The race owns and controls 134 drug stores; almost every town and city now has Its grocery stores, notion stores, dry goods stores, owned and conducted by our people. Out of this organization has grown 457 local negro business leagues which ar exerting the same kind of influence in their communities as the National league is In a larger way. Our members are not disposed to spilt hairs or wrange over parliamentary rules but they arc here to do things. "Despite much talk to the contrary, the negro Is not discouraged but Is go ing forward. The race today owns an acreage of land that is equal to the combined acreage of Holland and Bel gium. Negroes own more land, more houses, more stores, more banks, than ever before in our history. We are learning that a race cannot occupy a soil unless that race can get as much out of that soil as any other race gets out of if. Soil, sunshine. rain, and the laws of trade have no regard for race or color. We are learning that we must be builders if we would succeed. The force of nature will respond as readily to the hand of the Chinaman, the Italian or the negro as to any; other race- Man may discriminate but nature and the economic laws that control commerce and markets will not and can not. "The great battle cry of our race which should be sounded in every part of the land. Is "overcome evil with good.' overcome failure with suc cess, overcome "Injustice with useful ness, overcome doubt with hlglv en deavor, overcome shlftlessness with hlh achievement. There is some thing in human nature that compels respect for success regardless of races or color. Most important of all, do not make the mistake ;of believing that mere agitation ..or; condemnation of wrong; demanding of rights or-defending will within themselves, push forward our cause. Succeed where you are. Do not advertise your disad vantages but talk about your oppor tunities. "Should I interpret and analyze the feelings and ambitions of the black man In America it is this: He is not seeking to dominate over others in matters of government, nor Is he seeking to intermingle with others in strictly social matters where he is not wanted or asked, but he is asking that in every community" and state where he resides that equal and exact -Jus tice shall be meted out fo7 htm' in the courts and elsewhere, and that at all times his family and property shall be protected by those who administer the laws." In conclusion Mr. Washington talk ed about morality and said that im morality and business success could not be harnessed up together. When he urged them not to be ashamed of their race but to be proud of It there was tremendous applause. He voiced the contempt of all right thinking men for those who try to palm them selves off as members of another race. He said: "If I could .again enter the spirit world and have my cholc" be tween being black and white, I would choose to be black. I would want to be a member of the race that has made such splendid progress under such untoward circumstances. The sorrows of my race are my sorrows and their Joys my Joys." Following Mr. Washington's speech were addresses by J. Washington of Marlin. Tex., a merchant, who told of his successes in his line of business. J. E. Bush made an appeal for members of the league. Charles Banks, cashier of a negro bank at Mound Bayou, Miss., who is one of the most successful business men of the race, was presiding officer most of the evening. Bishop Abra ham Grant of the A. M. E. church gave the Invocation. The musical numbers were as follows: Mrs. R. C. Owens, Los Angeles, Cal., vocal solo; Miss Jessie Ogden, Topeka. vocal solo; and Mrs. J. M. Wright, Topeka, vocal The committee on credentials was announced last night as follows: F. H. Gilbert. New York; P. W. White, Ala bama; Blsmark Lavlne. Missouri; Fred Carter, Indiana; George E. Henderson, Illinois; A. M. Johnson, Mississippi and P.' L. Parrlsh, Ken tucky. Maryland Republican Ticket. Associated Press Leased Wire. Baltimore, Aug. 15.

Young; Fireman) Placed In Command of station No. Harry Hopper, one of the best known members of the Topeka fire depart ment, and for six years driver for Chief Wllmarth, has been promoted to tne captaincy of No. 5 fire station. Mr. Hopper took charge of the sta tion today. Only 29 years of age he is the youngest captain in the service of the department by a number of years. The vacancy in the position was caused by the resignation of George Gurtler, who resigned some time ago, the captaincy being unfilled until the announcement made by Chief Wllmarth today of his selection of Hopper for the place. Captain Harry Hopper. -"Hopper is specially well qualified for the position because of his experi ence which he has gained at the head quarter's station. In the time that he has been my driver he has become ac quainted .with the actual experience in running every engine at the headquar ters' station, he is a good ladderman, heseman and is well fitted for his new position," said Chief Wllmarth. Hopper Is married and lives at 1115 West Elev enth street and has been In the ser vice for seven years. Tom Hlgbee, of No. 4 station, has been promoted to the place of driver for Chief Wllmarth. George Luscomb. driver at No. 5. who resigned his position, will be succeeded by Charles Bailey. WHAT THEY'LL TALK ABOUT. Superintendent Fairchlld Sending Out Programmes for Meeting. E. T. Fairchlld; state superintendent of education, is today sending out to the county superintendents of the state the programmes for the meeting of county superintendents. "Mr. Fairchlld announces that the discussion of the various topics will be opened by cer tain county superintendents, and the whole subject w Ilk then be opened for general remarks. Mr. Fairchlld says in speaking of thei programme: "in the matter of the common school course ."of"1 Study, We shall be glad to know with" -what success it is being used In your'' county. What dif ficulties you encounter., and how you have endeavored to meet them. Noth ing contributes niore to graduation, organization and efficiency in, school work than a well -developed and con scientiously applied course of study. "The question of county graduation Is also one of great importance. It would seem that we need badly a more uniform standard rof requirements, and a more uniform system of handling the examinations leading to county graduation. This, too. Is a subject In which you are interested and about which you can give us valuable sug gestions. "The Barnes law may. or may not, be In operation In your county, but It represents a great forward movement in this state, and since Its perpetuity depends largely upon Its history for the next two years, it Is Important that we have a common understanding relative to it and do our best to make it a success. "Elementary agriculture Is a live topic It Is one that Is bound to come to the front. It would seem, in prac tically every state in the Union. We, of Kansas, ought to become more fa miliar with its possibilities and take immediate and definite steps looking to its introduction Into our schools. "The teachers' and pupils' reading circle work represents a phase of our school work that should by no means be neglected. It- Is possible that the whole subject of reading circle work should be put upon a different basis in this state. It seems to be a fact that it is dragging somewhat, and that we are not securing as good results as some of our neighboring states. Let us get together and study this subject thoroughly and see if we cannot give It new life and greater vigor. "The subject for the forenoon. Au gust 2 9, 'Consolidation,' is, to my mind, the only- real solution of the rural school problem. I hope to make It an Important feature of this ad ministration, but can succeed only through your support. I hope that you will come prepared to give us facts and figures. If, by any chance, there are any consolidated schools In your county, and If there are not, that you wlH be able and willing to discuss this subject especially to the extent of telling us the conditions In your coun ty as to the sentiment for or against consolldaton. "The last topic,' 'School Visitation, is one that every county superintend ent Is vitally "interested in, and we want to know Just what you are ac complishing in this line of work, and what you are proposing to do. "You will be glad to learn that the prospects for a splendid meeting seem brighter every day. Not one syllable of objection from any county superin tendent has reached this office. On the contrary, letter after letter ap proving the plan of the meeting and promising attendance has come to me. I can see no reason why this meeting should not mark a new era in the educational field of this state. Its possibilities for good are unlimited, and we are counting greatly upon your pdesence.

One of Hency's Wild Experiences. Lincoln Steffens' storv or Prnnpie t Heney In the August American Maga- i "uung to say the least. The wild life that Heney led before he wen after Schmltz and Ruef and the land thieves Is hardly paralleled In Ameri can nisiory. iere Is the story of nt'i:e)" nrst ca-ie: it was a murder case. Three 'tin horn' gamblers had a row with a fourth, who was killed. Since the only lawyer u wwij was prosecuting attorney, me aeiense naa to retain 'the boy,' Heney. Court met by day In the back me leading saloon, where at mgnt tne town gambled. The Judge sat 0.1. uib mru aoie, reeling ran high, but an nciii. wen mi it came to the argu meni. ieney s nerve failed him. He was oniy twenty years old and he de clared mat ne couldn't make a speech But his clients the whole snrvrH ulation Insisted on having everything mat ueiungea to tne trial, so they took the boy up to the bar and "threw drinks into him' till he was in a mood for any thing. And so. he began his argument. As he proceeded, the prosecuting attor ney Interjected some abusive Heney paused, looking to the Judge to protect mm. .tsui tne Judge was silent. The room was packed and the crowd moved uneasily, but Heney proceeded till again the prosecuting attorney inter rupted, and this time he used 'fighting language. ieney picked up his chair, and swinging it over his head, he ex claimed: 'If the court won't protect me, I will protect myself." "And yet with his chair raised above his head, and all afire himself with Just wrath, he paused to reflect. He meant to crush and kill the man before him and the crowd maddened by the scene, called him to do It. And Heney knew that If he brought down his chair on that drunken lawyer's head, everybody would go to shooting, and many men would be killed, including, for a certain ty, the Judge. In a flash he saw how he could win his case and avoid bloodshed. He dropped the chair behind him and putting out his hands, said to the prose cuting attorney: 'Your old gray hairs protect you.' "Heney always laughs outright when he recalls this speech. 'It made the- old fellow wild with rage,' he says, and, of course. It was more maddening than any epithets. The old fellow rose to his feet and bending his head over to Heney, ran hi3 hands through his hair, pant ing: 'Just you consider every one of these old gray hairs as blacker than the black est abyss of old black hell.' "It was no use. The judge interfered with a fine of ten dollars each, and when the crowd paid Heney's on the spot, the prosecuting attorney was so enraged that he resigned. Court adjourned and the boy lawyer, lifted on the shoulders of the crowd, was carried forth Into the street where a mass-meeting was held, presided over by an ex-clergyman on a beer barrel. The citizens adopted reso lutions praising Heney, denouncing the prosecuting attorney, and calling on the Judge to resign. The Judge did not re sign, but that night he discharged the prisoners on the murder count and held them for street rioting, a misdemeanor! "This triumph didn't do me any good,' says Heney now. "I tnougnt I was the greatest lawyer ever. It AVas a Love Feast. Associated Press Leased Wire. Paris. Aug. 15.

UlitOi Railroad Building Evidently Not Popular in Kansas. Forty Chartered During Past Two Tears Seven Alive. TWO ONLY HAVE TRACK Even These Amount to Little or Nothing. Western Kansas Projects Are Evidently Dead. Out of about forty railroads which have been chartered in the state of Kansas during the past two years, only two have built any track and only four have any right of way. There are thus far only seven of the forty beautiful paper projects have reported themselves to be still alive. Four others have announced their de cease. Those not heard from are count ed as dead. This is the summary of the reports which the state board of railroad com missioners has received as a result of its investigations of the railroad com panies which have taken out charters during the past two years. The railroad commissioners wanted to find out just what the various projects have amount ed to and they have discovered that very little has been done. It may be that a few additional re ports will be received, but the chances are that the forty paper railroads are abcut all in. The following is a summaiy ot the re- uorts received: Parsons Indcnender.t Western All i DroDerty handed over to M. K. T. I Kansas City and Omaha electric line Seven miles of right of way, 5 miles of track, expect to operate from Kose dale to Merrlam by September 1.

Cause of the Pore Failure Is Given to the Public Associated Presa Leased Wire. J Hartford, Conn., Aug-. 15. The fail ure of the Pope Manufacturing com pany. which was announced yester day caused one of the biggest sur prises that this city has known, but it is not thought that the big Industry will be affected by the action of the court. The probabilities are, accord Ing to Receiver Albert T. Pope, that the business will be continued. Mr. Pope stated that the company em ploys In all about 7.000 hands in its various plants. He said that the com pany has ample assets to meet the claims against it and that the only reason action was taken was to protect the creditors and stockholders. When asked to make a statement regarding the financial condition of the company. Mr. Pope said It was en tirely too early to do so. The present condition of the money market, said Mr. Pope, was responsible for the step taken, the banks refusing to make further loans to the company. The pressing of a claim by the McManus Kelly company of Toledo hastened the proceedings. On September 1 the hearing for the confirmation of the appointment of the temporary receiv er will be held. Mr. Pope's bonds are fixed at $200,000 and he is authorized to borrow to the extent of $50,000 to continue the business. HEIR TO KRUPP MILLIONS A Son Is Born to Fran Bertha Kmpp von Bolilen and Halbach. Essen. Russia A son has been born to Frau Bertha Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, oldest daughter of the late g-unmaker. The Infant Is heir to the enormous fortune of the Krupp fam ily. Frau Krupp was married October 15, 1906, to a young German diplomat named Bohlen und Halbach. The Krupp name was Incorporated Into her name by imperial decree. The fortune 'of Frau Krupp von Bohlen und .Halbach has been esti mated at 100 million dollars. That she Is the richest woman in the world there are fc-w to deny. In addition to the great Krupp gun works, she owns hundreds of mines in Germany and Spain and a large fleet of vessels. Herr Krupp, her father, disappointed because he had no son to succeed him. trained his older daughter to succeed him in the management of his im mense business. This was not hard to do. because the young woman ap parently inherited her father's busi ness and executive ability. Discount Rate Raised. Associated Press Leased Wire. London, Aug. 15. The Bank of England today raised its discount rate from 4 to 4 Vz per cent, owing to the monetary situation on the continent and in New York, and the anxiety of American houses to place finance bills here. The hope is expressed that Secretary Cortelyou will assist the New I ork marKet it necessary and prevent gold shipments from here, which un doubtedly would cause another ad vance in the Bank of England's dis count rate.

TO COLORADO IX AUTOS. Cars From Wichita, and Salina Slake Long Western Trip. Kmphatically the finest line of touring cars ever seen in this city since It became an automobile center, was gathered at the garage of the Pueblo Automobile company when several of the latest things in the au tomobile .line were driven into the city by tourists. Several of the vis ltors were from Wichita, Kan., and judging from the machines, the Kan sas town must have a great many judges of good cars. G; T. Walker drove a magnificent ,J4,000 Peerless car. He is on his way to Estes park. R. L. Jackson, also of Wichita,- was escorting a party of ten, these riding in two big four-cylinder Ramblers. W. F.

Hay wood, the secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, recent ly acquitted of the charge of murder, visited the Chicago Press club, an emphatic protest to the board of di rectors was prepared at once and cir culated for signatures. A vote of censure is asked for the members who brought Haywood into the club. The protest follows: We, the undersigned respectfully protest to the board of directors of the Chicago Press club against tne con tamination of the club house's pre cincts by the presence of one W. D Haywood, whom we believe to have been the Instigator of many atrocious murders, and who at least certainly is an "undesirable citizen." The fact of the acauittal of Haywood does not vindicate him in public opinion nor render him a fit person to be allowed inside our club house. We would ask that a vote of censure be passed against the men who were responsi ble for bringing him Into the club. In making this request we would dis claim any intention of criticising a member for political opinions or so cialistic views. HE EATS BLACK BREAD. Cald Sir Harry MacLean Is Still in Hands of Kaisull. Associated Press Leased Wire. Tangier. Aug. 15 It has been learned that Cald Sir Harry MacLean has not been set at liberty as previously report ed. The British legation here has re ceived a communication from Raisull threatening that unlets his terms are accepted Immediately he will remove Mr. MacLean to a place whither all th-j armies of Europe, if united, could not follow. It seems that Ralsuil upon hearing of the bombardment and occu pation of Casa Blanca succeeded in tak- Ine MacLean back from tne rriDesmen and removed him to a strategic position In the neighborhood of Ben larousu. MacLean Is well, but tie nas Deen ae- prived of his tent-and compelled to oc cupy an ordinary soldier's tent of small size. He is subsisting upon Diam oreaa. Fnlted Brethren at Wichita.

A widow and four grown children survive him. The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous In the conclusion-that the gen erally accepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment pos sible with the advanced knowledge of which the race Is now possessed. The critical period, that determines Its dura tion, seems to be between 50 and 60; the nrorjer care of the body during this de cade can not be too strongly urged; care lessness then being fatal to longevity.

Uneasy street is pretty well popula ted these days and the rank and file of the population consists of the drug gists of the city. They are anxiously waiting for some move that J. J. Schenck, tne county attorney may make as a result of the Information he obtained at the recent Inquisition into their affairs which was held by him. Indications are that the racing meet to be held at the fair grounds, beginning September 10, will be bet ter tnan tnat most successful one which was held last year. This means a great treat for the lovers of horse flesh In these parts as the meet last year was the best one ever held In Kansas.

SPIES ON PAY ROLL Government Agents Said to Be Work ing for the Trusts. Associated Press Leased Wire. Chicago, Aug. 15 The Record-Herald today says: Secret service agents of the United States department of Justice, working through the bureau of corpora tions, are said to be on the pay rolls of all the big railway corporations and trust combinations in the country. In Chicago alone, it Is said, there are at least 150 special men who are work ing for railroads and for packing houses and are watching every move that Is made with a view of ascertaining wheth er the corporation laws are obeyed In letter and spirit. While no proof is ob tainable as to the presence of these spy ing employes in several instances men who have been suspected have been re moved from their positions on the ground that they were In the employ c the government as spies. One of the officers of this end of the department of justice when asked if such an army was at work for the gov ernment said: "If it were so I could not tell. I know of cases where men have lost their positions unjustly from falling under suspicion. I have heard the statement made before but I sha neither affirm nor deny it. If such work is done, agents of the bureau of corpora tions are the most likely to be engaged In it." VICTORY FOR REFORM. San Francisco Republicans Vote Sup port of Bribery Investigation. Associated Press Leased Wire. San Francisco. Aug. 15. The nrlmarv I election In this city resulted In a sweeo ing victory for the Republican League or Ryan ticket which stood for earnest support of the bribery graft prosecution and the present mayor and board of supervisors. The opposing faction led by Postmaster Flske, made a sorry showing, electing not more than 19 del egates to the party convention, which will consist of 149 members. The re suit was a notable triumph for the re form element. The regular Democratic or McNabe ticket was victorious and will control the nominating convention by a large majority The representatives of the better ele ment of the Union Labor party cast a majority of their votes in favor of Mc Carthy and the Schmitz organization. The element opposed to the bribery graft prosecution will control the labor convention, but wnetner or not ex Mayor Schmitz's friends will go so far as to renominate him Is problematical. The victory of the Ryan Republicans means but one thing political support of the bribery graft prosecution and In all likelihood the nomination of Dis trict Attorney Langdon who it is pri vately understood will be backed by McNabe also.
