Was In Charge of Senator Chester I. Long. William Howard Taft, boss of the Big Bitch, ex-satrap of the provinces, and Traveling Secretary of the United States war department, sojourned in our midst for five minutes at high noon today, and escaped without making a speech. "Come out and make a speech," yelled the crowd which huddled around tho window of the drawing room of the rear Fullman, from which window protruded the smiling countenance of the man who may be the next president of the United States. William H. Taft. Who "I can't.' 'replied Mr. Taft. "I haven"t any voice, because I had to holler all tlay yesterday over there In Missouri. I would rather Just talk to you through the window." So there ensued a little Informal hand shaking bee. The bulky shoulders of the big cabinet member completely filled the car window as he reached his fat, hairy hand out to receive the welcoming grasp of his admirers. "I used to know your father back In Ohio," said one old man grabbing the secretary's hand. This man Is always rresent to welcome celebrities on behalf of their fathers. "Did you Indeed," replied Mr. Taft. "I'm very glad to see you." Mr. Taft kept up a running fire of conversation at he shook the upstretch ed hands. "Glad to see you all," he said. "This la a great state, and great people in it." "And they're about all for Taft," re marked somebody. "Well, that Indicates a healthy stato of public opinion," said Mr. Taft laugh ing. "I want to shake hands with the next president," aid one late comer pushing his way up to the window, and reaching the distinguished mit which hung with in reach. "Ah thank you, thank you." said Taft. Secretary Taft was dressed in a blue eerge suit, and looked like the cartoons which are made of him for the funny papers. His hair and mustache are best described by the word "fluffy-" Although of ponderous weight, the secretary is not very tall. He did not ride on a special ear, but occupied the rear drawing room apartment of the last Pullman on the train. There were several hundred people at the Union Pacific depot when the train pulled in at noon. The people who were there to catch a glimpse of Taft included a number of the state house employes, a few prominent business men. and a large number of local politicians, citizens on foot, and others. The crowd went rushing back to ward the rear of the train as It came to a stop. Mort Albaugh, who had been !nvit?d to join the party In the trip through Kansas, headed the rush. "Where Is he? Where's Taft?" verybody was inquiring. "Right this way last car." said Senator Long, and his secretary, Ralph Faxon, who came scurrying up the platform to meet the crowd. A few newspaper men. some of the state house crowd, and Mort Albaugh were ushered through the Pullman car. which was well filled with the usual crowd of tourists and travelers, to Secretary Taft's apartment, where Senator Long Introduced them to Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft was very busy shak ing hands through the window, but managed to tear himself away long enough to go through the very hasty ceremony of Introduction. Then he resumed his Romeo and Juliet stunt with the crowd outside. "Are you going to make any speeches on your way w-est?" was asked. "Yes. at Abilene. I believe, and aome other place what Is it, sena- lllilj iilf!i! liiSlilf SllliSiiiip; ilSlHS v i -W- ;".v KV r f' J f ,1 4 y r-: K r 4- V tor?" said Mr. Taft, turning to Sena tor Long. "Mf2's Clty'" replied Mr. Long. about your wreck at Spring hill?" was asked. "Oh, we had a little wreck there, but it didn't amount to much. It just enabled me to spend three hours longer in Kansas than I expected to spend." Secretary Taft is now on his way to the Pacific coast to take boat for the Philippines. He will girdle the globe before returning to the United States. He expects to visit Japan, as the guest of the mikado, and look over the bat tle fields around Port Arthur He will then take the trans-Siberian rail way for Europe. It is said to be part of Mr. Taft's mission to smooth over the ruffled diplomatic relations exist ing between the United States and Japan. The secretary was asked to explain the reason for this trip and what he was going for, and he said: "I go to be present at the opening session of the First National Philip pine assembly, as I promised the peo ple I would do when I left there. I expect that most of the members will demand immediate Independence, so that they may set up a government of their own. But it is the policy of this government to go more gradually. granting additional privileges and political liberties only as the people demonstrate themselves capable of re ceiving them. "We believe that to turn the islands over to a government of natives at present would be unwise. We do not believe the people ready for It. There Is too great danger of excess and chaos. They are a susceptible and easily Influenced people, and a man of Was in Topeka Twlay. some education and spirit could stir up a village or a district and create an incipient revolution. "We must not withdraw our army yet. It is still necessary to keep a considerable force of men there. At present we have about 12.000." "Do you believe che Philippines will ever become a free and independent na tion?" was asked. "It Is possible they may," replied the secretary. "Yet. should the time and opportunity come. I doubt whether the people would desire to cut adrift from this countiy. They probably would find it far more to their prosperity and hap piness to remain attached to the Uni ted States, with our market open to them, and with the advantage of pro tection, of support and of the backing of a great nation. Porto Rico thrives under American rule and is happy. Cuba has voluntarily sought our assist ance." Among others on the train with Sec retary Taft was Senator J. E. Brewer of Abilene. Mr. Taft is accompanied by Robert L. Dunn, correspondent for Colliers' Weekly, by his clerk, W. W. Miscnier and his stenographer, Fred C. Carpenter. Matters of great importance in the war department are handled by Mr. Taft en route. As the train pulled out of Topeka, af ter a five minute stop, there was no cheering or other demonstration. The meeting had been so hasty and so in formal that there seemed to be no op portunity for anybody to get enthusias tic about it. Mr. Taft waved his hand to the crowd out of the window, and shouted "goodby" and that was all. Cheered at Kansas City. Kansas City. Aug. 2 8. Secretary of War William H. Taft this morning re sumed his journey westward, departing on the 10:10 Union Pacific train for Denver. The secretary secured a good rest last night and apparently was none the worse for yesterday's experi ences. After breakfast at the Balti more hotel, he was driven over the city in an automobile In company with Mayor H. A. Beardsley and United States Senator Warner. From the ride the party went direct to the Union station, where Secretary Taft was met by a crowd of people that filled every available space within sight of the sta tion entrance. He was cheered as he passed through a narrow lane of neo- ple to his train, from which he bowed an adieu a few minutes later as the start was made for the west. They Will Quit Business.

Represents One of the Cheyenne County "Settlers." INTERESTING POINT. Land Certificate Graft and How It Worked. Bernard Hickert Having Trou ble to Clear Up Title. John Dawson, chief assistant attor ney general of Kansas, is in a peculiar situation. He is prosecuting a law suit against the state of Kansas, while at the same time he is the state's at torney. Mr. Daw working at his desk In the attorney general's office, has drafted a brief in behalf of his client, and against the state. Backed right up against the desk of Mr. Dawson is the desk of Charles D. Shukers, an other assistant attorney general, and Mi Shukers is writing the brief on behalf of the state, against Dawson's client. It is a most peculiar situation al most equal to that of J. R. Burton, who appeared as attorney for parties fighting the government. However, with Mr. Dawson, the sitA uation is one in which he is entirely innocent of any illegal practice. He is simply helping an unlucky western Kansas farmer get possession of a farm which rightfully belongs to him, and for which the state, through its agents, refuses to accept payment. The case is that of Bernard Hickert against J. A. VanDoren and W. S. Booth, county treasurer and county clerk respectively of Cheyenne coun ty. Mr. Dawson and H. R. Tillotson are attorneys for Hickert. The pro ceeding is an original mandamus, and it is up to the attorney general to de fend the two county officers who re fuse to take Hlckert's money. Hickert is not a land jumper. He Is not seeking to gobble up some un fortunate settler's land under the original' certificate game. On the' contrary. Hickert is a victim of that game himself. He bought some land in Cheyenne county some years ago, and has Improved it and made it a valuable tract. Then along came a foxy lawyer who discovered that there was an original certificate of purchase outstanding on Hickert's land, and that the certificate had not been prop erly forfeited. The lawyer bought the certificate and then told Mr. Hickert that he would have to pay him $600, or get off of the farm. After consult ing a lawyer. Hickert decided that the cheapest, .way out would be to pay. He accordingly forked over $600 to the lawyer, who had bought the cer tificate for a song. Then Mr. Hickert figured It out that It would be cheaper to proceed to prove up his title to the land under the original certificate which he had bought than it would to finish the payments required under' the later certificate. He therefore tendered payment under the original certificate, and the county officers refused to take the money. They claimed that even though the original certificate was the valid one. and thoueh Hickert had been obliged to buy It to get a title to the land, yet he must continue to pav on the new certificate. The attorneys. for the state will de fend the action of the two county of ficers on the cround of what Is termed "estoppel." They will say that since Hickert recognized the right of the state to transfer the land to him un der the new certificate, he forfeited his right to nrove up under the old certificate. They say that while any body else but Hickert mleht prove up under the old certificate. Hickert must stick to his original plan of paying out under the new certificate. ATTACKED BY A LION. A Woman Nearly Torn to Pieces at a Pittsburg Park. Pittsburg. Pa.. Aug. 28. Torn, bruised and suffering from shock, Mrs. Anna A. Houcke, 55 years of age, of 78 Van Bram street, died at her home today as the result of an attack by a lion at Luna park, a summer resort in this city. Mrs. Houcke was rescued while she lay on the ground where the ani mal had thrown her and while scores of rescuers were firing a fusillade of bullets Into the blood crazed beast who meanwhile was biting and clawing at the woman's body. .The attack occurred when the park was crowded with women and chil dren. Without warning the lion ap peared from behind one of the build ings and with a roar crouched and sprang for Mrs. Houcke who was neatest to him. The woman screamed and attracted the attention of the crowd. Soon shouts of the hundreds stampeding for the exits were added to Mrs. Houcke's distressing cries, but these did not distract the lion from his assault. The noise of the panic at tracted the attention of W. A. Down ing, chief of the park police, who came running to the rescue. He found the lion tearing away at the woman's clothing and he immediately fired all the chambers of his pistol into the beast. Downing reloaded his pistol and fired with but little effect. Other reseuera secured parlor rifles from the shooting gallery and rifles from the concessionaires, and were soon pump ing lead at the Hon. Still standing over the prostrate woman, the lion stood with the ground about him liter ally plowed up by the nundreds of shots that were being fired at him. Soon with the noise of the firearms and the shouts of the women and rescuers, the lion turned and rushed toward the Ehow known as the Mystic River, where he made his last stand. Here with the continued bombardment thebrute succumbed and sinking down upon the ground turned over on his back and with a few kicks and gasps he died. His skin w-as completely rid dled with the small caliber bullets that had been fired at him. It is said that the lion cage had teen cleaned early In the day and ap parently left open. i STRIKE OFF AT OTTAWA. Western Vnion Office Reopens Today for Business. Ottawa, Aug. 28.

Her Director of Commerce Calls the Suggestion a Joke. Los Angeles, Aug. 28. Klujiro Ishil, director of the department of commerce of Japan, has arrived in Los Angeles. In an Interview he said: "I find that a great change has come over the Japanese who have left their land for America and es pecially those In California. They seem to become imbued with the American idea of progress and all seem very happy. Surroundings and conditions here are much better than any place which I have visited so far. Of the 17,000 Japanese in and about Los Angeles, I have not. found a sin gle case of want." When questioned about the possi bility of hostilities between the United States and Japan, Ishil smiled and said: "Japan would not fight America un der any circumstances. The people of this country have done so much for our nation that It is an absolute ab surdity to imagine anything of the kind. "It Is what you call a Joke." Speaking of the. conditions in the Philippines, he continued: "The great est defense for Japan against foreign Bowers at this time is the ownership of the Philippine islands by the United States. Korea and Manchuria are fully adequate to care for our rapid increase in population, some 800,000 people emigrating, to tnose countries each year." Ishil was tendered a banquet by by prominent citizens of this city. GROUNDED TlufwlRE. Somebody Paralysed tho Govern ment's Telegraph Service. Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. S3.

Congress May Render Republi can Nomination Useless. IS NOT A CANDIDATE. But Would Not Refuse the Place If Tendered. Personally He Would Rather Be Speaker Again. New York, Aug. 28. Congressman Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, who was the guest of Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, on a cruise through the Thousand Islands, on Mr. Sibley's yacht, is quoted by the Alexan der Bay correspondent of the Herald as saying in an interview in reply to ques tions regarding his possible candidacy lor the presidency: "Am I a candidate for the Republican nomination for president? No, I have not the bee. personally. Would I ac cept the nomination? No citizen has ever declined it, or ever will. I would rather contribute to making the next session of congress a success so that my party will deserve and win success in 1908 than have the presidency tendered to me on a golden salver. "Now I want to make this point: If congress does not act wisely at the next session; if it Is not actuated by calmness and patriotism; if it makes great mis takes and fails to meet the approval of the reasoning American public, there will not be much need for the election of delegates to the next national conven tion of the Republican party. "The great masses they are not talk ing politics now. They are busy. Their ambition is to see that nothing is done to make them idle. This country is very prosperous. It would he a crime if congress should do anything at this time to upset business, and it might make mistakes in half a dozen ways." KILLED IN HIS PALACE.

Wichita Players Are Arranging a Post- Season Series. Arrangements are being made by the members of the local team for a series of seven games with Omaha, should that team win the Western league championship, which seems likely now The Omaha management will not come to any terms until it is certain or first place so the date for the post-season series will not be known for a week or two. It Is planned to play three games in Omaha and four here, making a seven game series. The proceeds from the game will go to the players themselves. It is thought thatthe games will draw well as the fans here will like to see the champions of the Western league work, as Wichita probably will have to piay against them next season. wicnita Beacon. Bowerman Ia Recovering. New York, Aug. 28. Unless a serious relapse occurs Frank Bowerman will rejoin the Giants in a few days, and will accompany them on their trip west. Word came from the hospital that he is improving steadily, and that, while he may not be able to catch a full game for a couple of weeks, he will be fit to go in and bat, if neces sary, within ten days. Isbell Out of the Game. Chicago, Aur. 88. More misfortune befell the White Sox when Frank Isbell, second baseman, and one of the de pendable hittem nf th team 'Wan hari- ly injured during morning practice. In a collision with Pat Dougherty, Isbell was spiked in the left hand, two fingers being so badly lacerated that it was feared for a time that amputation would be necessary. He will be out of the game for the remainder of the season. WESTERN ASSOCIATION GOSSIP. WHERE' THET PLAT TOMORROW. Oklahoma City at Topeka. Leavenworth at Hutchinson. Webb City at Joplin. Wichita at Springfield. The injury to Red Davis came- at a critical time for the White Sox. Red is leading the team with the srtick and during the past three weeks Red has never failed to deliver a hit in a pinch. Had .he been in the first game at Hutch inson the result might .have been dif ferent at Davis always did: take kindly to the curves and swift ones of Joe Woods, the boy phenom. The double victory of the Mets over the Leavenworth team yesterday after noon practically cinches second place for the Meta. They now have a percent age of .607 while Hutchinson, which comes second, has only .562. The only fight remaining seems to be between Topeka, Joplin and Hutchinson for third place. Frank Isbell has quit the Chicago team and is on his way to Wichita. Isbeil's hand was spiked in a recent game and he will play no more this sea eon. Next year he intends to manage the Wichita team. The showing so far on the trip has not been so bad. The locals defeated Hutchinson yesterday on the Salt Pack ers' grounds. When anybody defeats the Hutchinson aggregation on their own grounds they are playing baseball. With three out or the rive games play ed so far the locals can do no worse than break even on the two series be tween the teams. The Joplin" team has arranged games with several of the teams in the Joplin amateur league lor the three off day following the Labor Day series. Joplin News-Herald :Lawler, who has taken the place of Wooley In left for Leavenworth, seems to be playing quite as classy ball as the left-handed star, Lawler made a difficult catch yesterday. His batting has been good during the series while his base-running is equal ed by few in the association. Joplin Globe: "Joplin will take second place this year If It has to get big league players," said President Murphy of the local team last night. Although the Joplin team has been hindered by every turn of fate, it is still a strong one and playing good ball. Oklahoma City seems to be doomed to second place, but Joplin will crowd it." For perhaps the first time since the season opened, the Joplin team is in fit condition to meet anv and all rivals. The pitching start which has been the lament of the pessimists for weeks. Is now working fine and all of the twiners are in tne best of shape. If the team continues its winninar streak of the last week, it will be left undisturbed by the man agement. Should another slump come, the team will likely be strensrthened by a major league pitch er. The team as a lineup can scarcely be improved. "Effort was made to ive Jonlln a pennant winning team this year," said Murphy, "but with the team that Wichita has this Is out of iho nnwtlnn. The best any or tne teams can fight for now is second place." The series with Wichita, com-menrine- today, will probably decide whether or not Joplin can base hopes on finishing in second place. Oklahoma City Times-Journal: The Western association has had a stormy career this season, It has had more than ita. share of troubles and almost since the piayera commenced to arrive the storm clouds have been hovering ohn.it Much of the trouble in tne as sociation, this year has been caused by the poor selection of umpires by President Shively. There has been al most constant turmoil as a result and instead of conditions being changed every move made seems to result in no good being accomplished. Every umpire on the payroll In the associa tion this year has borne the brunt of oi-itifiism from Dress and pudiic ana nlavers and club owners and appeals to President sniveiy lor a cmnuiai- tlon of the staff have resulted In vain, in some instances. The club owners should see to it next year that a com mitten h named or -Shively be in structed to select a competent staff of indicator men. Tne wearers or me blue shirt and cap this year have been Jokes, for the most part. Hutchinson News: Fleharty has no neer in the league. He was taken on at mid-season last year but lost nearly all his games. This year ne startea out in fine order and has won con sistentlv ever since, with the excep tlon of a short period when he had a soro arm. The big majority of Fie harty's games has been saved for the easy teams but nearly a month before his attack of sore arm, he was worked every second and third day He won five of the first six games he pitched for the Saltpackers. He has worked in a good many games for which he gets no credit either way. One of these was the famous twenty three inning game in which he pitched for eighteen innings. NATIONAL LEAGUE POINTERS.

Al "Kauf man and Mike Screck will meet Thurs day night for a- twenty-round go and those guided by what Billy Delaney says will go to Kaufman. Delaney has developed a few cham pions in his day. He brought out Jim Corbett, and made Jeffries champion. Delaney sees in Kaufman a man who in the near future will wear a championship wreath. Shreck is not a world beater, but he will make a mighty good trial horse for Kaufman. Outside of the direct result of the Shreck-Kaufman bout, there is much interest attached to it, for it is said that the winner will go after Tommy Burns. It was thought "that Shrec would be hard pushed to make the weight required, for he was almost hog fat when he arrived in Frisco, but he has trained so steadily that he wore him self down ten pounds in three days without feeling any ill effects, arid he is confident that he will get down to J85 pounds without trouble." Kauf man is training With' Joe Gans, after a stay of three weeks in the moun tains, and is fit for a grueling fight. Jimmy Coffroth is on the job again. With him it is a case of where you can't keep the hustler down. Cof froth's latest stunt is the promotion of a forty-five round battle between Joe Thomas and Young Ketehell. They will meet next Monday after noon in the open air arena at Colma. This ought to be a rattling good go. Thomas is better than at any time In his career and Ketehell is on the climb. HORSES TO WIN $500,000. Estimate of Probable 1907 Earnings of the Keene Stables. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 28. When Resttgouche poked his black muzzle In front of Jim Gaffney and Fair Play in the final strides of the United States hotel stakes on Saturday it waa a mo mentous occasion in the turf career of his owner and breeder, James R. Keene. That stake, added to his pre vious aggregate of winning for the season, meant that Mr, Keene had eclipsed by about S3, 000 his grand to tal of S279.458 rolled up in 1898, when the immortal Domino was in his prime. The total for this season, with the half-way mark only passed by a few days, stands at S282.306. The total of 1903 stood as tne rec ord in America, and possibly in the world, of turf winnings in one sea son. It is a virtual certainty now that by November the stable will have won 3350,000 at least, ana it nanot proves as good as expected the aggregate may be far above that amount. Ballot has engagements worth nearly 380,000 at Sheepshead Bay alone. Some of the more enthusiastic think.. Mr. Keene will win nearly $500,000 on the turf this season. TENNETTS LAST YEAR IN BOSTON.

Lawrence Citizens Demand Bet ter Serrice of the Company. Traces of Germ Stirs Up the People to Action. WILL CAUSE EPIDEMIC Head of the State Board of Health Aids in the Work. Aa Insnfficent Number of Wells Seems to Be the Cause. Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 28. Acting upon a complaint made by ex-Senator William A. Harris and other citizens of Lawrence that the city water here was impure and inimical to the health of the people of Lawrence, Dr. S. J. Crumblne, secretary of the state board of health, has made a thorough ex amination of the city water here. As a result of this examination he will appear before the city council of Lawrence at its meeting next week, with Chancellor Strong of the Univer sity of Kansas and a delegation of Lawrence citizens, to demand that the water company provide adequate fa cilities to provide the city with pure water. Some ten days ago Colonel Harris received the results of an analysis of the city, water company made by a firm of Chicago experts. This report showed the water to contain much organic matter with germs indicating the presence of city sewerage. The report stated that while the typhus germ was not present in the water a single case, with the water in its present condition, mitrht start an epi demic which would sweei the town This analysis was made by the Colum bus laboratories which the city health officer of Chicago recommended as authority upon the subject and analysis of city water. The results of this analysis were placed before Mayor George Barker Immediately, but he declined to act. Colonel Harris and others interested In the pure water crusade then called on Secretary Crumbine yesterday .who win ask the council to take imme diate action toward remedying the de fects In the system. The trouble In the water supply lies In the insufficient number of wells and Inadequate pumping facilities. The wells are pumped to the utmost ca pacity to supply the normal demands of the city. For any long continued dry spell or an emergency whatever, the company pumps water from the river directly Into the mains. It is this water from the river that the analysis showed to be so badly con taminated. Just at present the company Is com plaining of the demands of the city upon the wells, but a crusade has been started to force the company to put In a sufficient number of wells and to In stall pumping facilities so that the city may be safe from the use of river wa ter at any time. of $5,000,000 for a period of twenty years.

In a divorce petition filed In Independence the immense profits of the glass fac tories are revealed. The petition was filed by Mrs. Fred Mahley and she asks for alimony. Mrs. Mahley says that when they were married both were comparative ly without means, but by their united efforts they accumulated a small amount of money. They went to Cof feyvllle several years ago and joined in the organization of the Kansas Glass company. Fred Mahley had fifteen hundred dollars. He bought five hundred dollars' worth of stock in the plant for himself and five hun dred each for two of his sons. This stock which then cost $500 is now worth $1,500 and Mr. Mahley has in addition to the dividends on his stock made during the fires an average of $160 per month, yet when he is working he allows his wife but $8 per week, out of which she must supply the table, meet all household ex penses and clothe herself, and during the summer when he is not working he give her nothing at all. In addi he gives her nothing at all. In addi she says, and makes life a burden. MEAL MINE. The Lawrence Restaurants Ad Tance Board 50 Cents a Week. RAILROADj NEWS.

Law rence Is in the grip of a restaurant trust. The trust has advanced board from $3.50 per week to $4.00 per week, and there is no relief by go ing to another restaurant, because all the restaurants that are worth while are in the agreement. For years the price of a meal ticket in Lawrence has been $3.50. All the reputable restaurants have charged that, and the down-town people who board are used to paying it. Some time ago one restaurant decided to charge separately for Its big dinner on Sunday. The' reason -given was that the dinner cost the house more than the 16 cents that a hole in a meal ticket represented, so It was ruled that meal tickets were not good on Sunday din ners. The boarderes kicked, but did not leave. Now the separate fee for Sunday dinner holds, and the meal ticket, good on all other occasions. Is hiked an even fifty cents. "There isn't any combine; we just got together and raised the price, said one member of the trust. The great advances in the cost of provisions, meats and fruits are given as the reason for the increase. Other Items of Interest to Railway People.

The total length of steam railroads completed on December 31, 1905, was 222,635.18 miles, as against 217,341.02 miles at the close of 1905; an increase of 5204.16 miles. The actual construction during the year was 5516.70 miles, but the net increase was smaller, owing to mileage abandoned, transferred to side track as equipped with electricity. The increase in bonded debt during 1906 was $425,845,877, the total funded debt of the steam railroads of the Unit ed States being $7,851,107,778 at the closo of 1906, as against $7,425,261,901 at the close of 1905. The increase in capital stock was $364,452,151, total stock at the close of 1906 being $7,106,408,976, as against $6,741,956,825 at the close of 1905.

The cause of Eczema is a too acid condition of the blood. The itching, burning eruptions are caused by the outpouring through the pores and glands of the skin, of the fiery poisons with which the circulation is loaded. This acrid matter coming in contact with the delicate tissues and fibres with which the skin is so abundantly supplied causes irritation and inflamma tion and often excessive discomfort and annoyance. While external appli cations, such as salves, washes, lotions, etc., are soothing and cleansing they are in no wise curative, because they do not reach the blood where the trouble is located. You can never cure Eczema with outside treatment the blood must be purified. S. S. S. is the best treatment for the dsease. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the acids and humors; with which the blood is infected, and makes the blood-current fresh and healthy. Then instead of fiery, acrid matter oozing out through the pores and glands, irritating the cuticle, the skin is nourished by a rich, cooling, healthy stream of blood. S. S. S. removes every trace of the disease, and when the cure i3 complete the skin is left smooth and free from any eruption.

When H. A. Turkle, formerly a guard at the state reformatory, who lived at 701 Avenue B east, drove overland to Meade county, Kansas, about a month ago, accompanied by his son. they took with them their dog "Jerry" who had been a family pet for a number of years. When they were near Pratt they lost the dog. Mrs. Turkle and baby had been visit ing in Hutchinson and thinking that he could probably find them here, the dog wandered back to the old home. Mrs. Turkle went by train after spending a week with relatives at Marion. After a month's time had elapsed the dog arrived in Hutchinson. Sat urday morning neighbors found it at the old home. Jerry was gaunt look ing and worn out, but the fellow still remembered his old friends. He has been taken care of the past few days and Mr. Turkle has been notified. Jerry will probably be sent to Meade county In a few days by express. Mr. Turkle bought a half section of land near Meade about two years ago and the family now make their home on the farm.

A Prosperity Item. John Musser of Formoso was in the citv Friday and closed a deal with Robert Hanson of this city for 30,000 bushels of corn and something over 400 tons of hay. For the corn he paid 40 cents in the crib and for the hay he paid $7 in stack. Mr. Musser will bring hops and cattle enough to Mr.' Hanson's farm to feed all this hay and corn during the coming win ter. Mr. Hanson raised all this feed on his 1.000 .acres in Buffalo town ship.

Rock Island Will Have Automatics on 350 Miles. Chicago, Aug. 28. Up to the beginning of 1906 the Rock Island had only about ten miles of automatic signals, and these all on the Chicago Terminal di vision. There were a few scattered sig nals east of Joliet, protecting danger spots, but this could not strictly be called a perfect block system. There were also signals at one or two other Isolated spots, but one location had no connection with the other. Early in 1906 authority was issued for the installation of automatic block sig nals as far as Bureau, 115 miles from Chicago, and giving about 105 miles of protection above that already In. This work has been going on, and signals are now in service as flar as Utica, 95 miles from Chicago. Since the first authorization it has been decided to extend the installation over all of the double track to Iowa City, on the Iowa division, and to Mus catlne, on the Missouri division. Work is also under way on the Kan sas division from Topeka to Herington, This is a very busy section of track, and the signals will greatly improve the operating conditions in that region. All this work will make a total of 350 miles of automatic signals, 270 of double track and 80 of single track. This will put the road well up toward the front among the western roads for mileage of automatic block. The 70 miles of double track of the Union Pacific between Kansas City and Topeka which is used by the Rock Is land is also protected by automatic block signals. In addition to the automatic work. Instructions have been issued to equip me entire main line witn standard train-order signals of the semaphore type. This will put the road in good shape to operate a telegraphic block over all the lines not now so operated. At present the telegraphic block cov ers over 500 miles of track, and is being rapidly extended. This gives a great measure of protection, and while it has not all the features of an automatic system, yet it is a great step in ad vance. NATIONAL TRAFFIC LEAGUE. New Organization Is Holding Its First Convention. Chicago, Aug. 28. A general move ment, which is expected to introduce harmony into the traffic business of the country and bring about a greater degree of co-operation among the common carriers, the legislators and the shipping public, was launch ed in Chicago today, when the mem bers of the National Industrial Traffic league assembled for their first discus sion of traffic matters. Representa tives of fifty large industrial organiza tions and heavy individual shippers will participate in the discussion. The league, which was organized In Chicago on August 2. is dedicated to the belief that publicity in transporta tion matters is: essential to a thorough comprehension by the public and for the passage of beneficial legislation. The league has committed itself to the attempt to obtain clearly defined laws governing interstate traffic and to the interchange of ideas relative to inter state legislation which affects, inter state commerce. It will co-operate with the interstate commerce commis sion, the state railroad commissions and the carriers. A preliminary meet ing of committees was held today, when topics suggested for discussion will be prepared for submission to the annual convention on Thursday. The list of subjects is comprehensive, em bracing such topics as the thirty days' notice requirement as applied to all tariffs, car service rules, publicity of railway association meetings, applica tion of through class rates instead of combination of local rates on com modities, etc. CATTLE RAISERS KICK. Insist on the Enforcement of the Stock Transit Law. Enid, Okla., Aug. 28. Suit has been filed in the district court by United States District Attorney Embry against the Rock Island railroad, charging vio lation of the federal statutes fixing the time limit in which stock oan be trans ported without food or water. The petition alleges that on January 30, 1907. Colbert Co. of Tishomingo shipped two carloads of hogs from that place to Enid, arriving at the point of destination February 2, having been en route seventy-nine hours, and that the hogs had no food or water during that time. This is the first legal action that has been taken to enforce obedience to the shipping regulations. Charges of a similar nature were tiled with the in terstate commerce commission nearly a year ago, but no results were an nounced. It is understood that the cattle raising interests of the territory are behind the present action. TIRED AND SIC!!

Advance payment la reqnyMtetl on these short time subscriptions, to Save bookkeeping: expense. Thus far Mr. Fairbanks has not sued Collier's Weekly for libel. As a monument to graft, the Penn sylvania state capltol will probably be Unsurpassed for some time. "There is no Justice in America," declares Herr Bebel. That is, none of Mr. Bebel's brand of Justice. Mr. Bryan says Secretary Taft is a 'straddler." If that Is true, his strad dle, is one that pleases the public. This immunity bath is unlike the Turkish variety the sweating process comes long before the bath proper. With W. J. Bryan opening it, and Mrs. Nation as the closing attraction, how could the Wathena Chautauqua help being a success Thus faf Dr. Long has not demand ed another apology from President Roosevelt for that last article in Everybody's Magazine. Nobody Is fighting the Fairbanks presidential boom any longeranother evidence that the Fairbanks boom has been laid beneath, the daisies. "Is there a food rust?" inquires an exchange. Quite likely We would be much more willing to trust it now than before the pure food law was passed. Mr. Harrlman denies that he said he would like to own all the railroads. So if you have been figuring on selling him yours, he may not take them atfer all- Mr. Bryan also criticises Secretary Taft for not taking "advanced grounds" in reform. How far advanc ed, pray, would Mr. Bryan recom mend? Grant Hornaday Is speaking on the Harvest Home circuit this fall. If he Is nominated for governor Mr. Horna day will get into the Chautauqua class next year. i What, by the way, has become of Grant Hornaday's proposition to have the Republican state committee call a state primary next year? Is it being kept on ice? Ella Wheeler Wilcox says more women should enter Journalism. Not If they wrote such hot stuff as Ella wheeler. Very much of that might melt the type. The editor of the new paper in the canal zone has also been appointed chief ef the trouble bureau to listen to all complaints. Isn't that piling it on one man rather heavy? That statement of the Psalmist that riches take unto themselves wings and fly away may be a prophecy of the Coming of the airship. Only rich men will be able to afford them. Both the strikers and the telegraph companies declare that conditions are satisfactory to them. With everybody satisfied except the public, why should thers be any further trouble? Independence claims to have had the greatest number of marriages the past year of any town in the state. Evi dently the men down there do not care anything about living up to the name ef their town. The stockholders of the United States Express company propose to hold a sheeting, after many years of quiescence, and oust the Tom Piatt management. Hasn't Piatt been giving the express companies the best service of which he was capable ,ln the United States sen ate? 1 The complaint is made by Mr. Bryan .that Taft does not recommend new leg islation, to keep trusts from violating "the law. Secretary Taft recommends putting the law-breaking trust mag nates In Jail, and most people have an Idea that will be sufficient to discourage Such, violations. The Parsons Sun Is a little short on history In referring to the Populist ueclal legislative session-- In -1898, which it asserts did nothing; except pass a railroad law that was after warUs knocked out by the supreme court. That same session, however, passed an Insurance tax law which alone within a year brought the state several times the cost of the special session. It passed the Bush corpora tion law. an excellent-measure which also brought in large revenues to the state treasury. In fact, considering the time it lasted, that special session did a great amount of good work. That is no argument, however, in favor of a special session now unless it is really needed. TAXING MORTGAGES? We wish to ask a question of the state tax commission: II a man owes a thousand dollars on his home and he is assessed upon it at Its full value and the man who holds his note for the rleht is also assessed, will that not be double taxation and will it be right? Concordia Blade. Of course there is only one answer to the Blade's query. It would be double taxation and it could not be Justified. There has been so much discussion during the last four or five years about the assessment of notes and money and mortgages, and the effect it would have upon borrowers and Investments, that the issue has been much befogged and many false theories have been ad vanced. If A. owns a home worth $2,000 and there is a mortgage of $1,000 on It, which A. owes to B., in reality A. owns only half of it and should be so as sessed. B. owns the other half and should pay taxes on his half by hav ing his mortgage taxed. In other words, when A. returns his farm for taxation, he should also re port the mortgage on it. The farm, from a standpoint of justice, ought to be assessed at its full value, less the amount of the mortgage, and B. should be assessed for the face of the mortgage. This would avoid double taxation, and each man would pay his portion. "But," argues some one, "the mo ment mortgages are taxed, that mo ment Interest rates will go up and money will be driven out of the state." Let's see about that. If all property were assessed at its real value and no property escaped taxation, the average tax rate in Kansas would not be more than one per cent probably consid erably less. So interest rates would not possibly advance more than one per cent, and the borrowing das could well afford that if thereby it would be exempted the amount of its debts and if the 260 or 300 millions of mortgages and money that now escape taxation would be placed on the tax rolls. Naturally, money ought to return a certain net amount, and if mortgages are taxed, the tax rate will be added to that amount, and rightly so, but the burden will be less on the borrow er In the long run. Why would it not be possible to prohibit the release of mortgages on the public records until the taxes on them have been, paid? That would eliminate the tax-dodging feature, so far as mortgages are concerned. A REASOSABLE REQUEST. This contention of the railroad companies that the ruling of the interstate commerce commission, re quiring them to keep copies of all freight tariffs posted in a public place In every station or depot, is foolish, seems reasonable. Anybody knows that anything posted In" the aver age small town depot is speedily mutilated, and a bulky freight tarlfT Schedule, with its numerous amend ments, would not long be of service to a shipper unless kept where the station agent could guard it. Besides, the average man could not use a tariff schedule intelligently without the aid of the station agent or an expert. And as long as the shipper would have to consult the agent anyway, why not let the roads simply keep the tariffs on file in the agents offices, as they desire, sub ject to the inspection of the public upon request? There is no use of imposing unrea sonable or unnecessary rules on the railroads. If they will comply with reasonable and Just regulations, the public will certainly be satisfied. THE COST OF PAPER. "Print paper such as we use has gone up to $70 a ton," says the Smith County Pioneer. "We use over a ton In two months. Two years ago the same paper could be bought for $45." Not long ago the Sallna Journal as serted that It had been required to pay $1,200 for a carload of paper that it j could have bought a year before for $800. The Wichita Eagle says that daily newspaper subscribers are getting their papers today for less than they could buy the blank paper for. From all over the country comes the same complaint on the part of publishers. John Norrls, a. New Tork newspaper man, has made a careful investigation there, and he finds that the increase in the cost of paper for stxteeen New Tork newspapers amounts to $2,160,000 yearly over two or three years ago. Some of the magazines have made up this increased cost partially by raising the price of their publications to subscribers, and a' few country weeklies are trying to do the same. There is a movement of this kind among Kansas country editors. The ten-cent magazines are becoming few these days. McClure's, which has sold for ten cents almost since its birth a dozen years ago, has announced an Increase of fifty per cent in its sub scription price. Daily newspapers, however, have tried to meet the in creased expense by making better papers and enlarging their business. In fact, a few years ago, fifteen cents a week was the usual price of the average dally when delivered by car rier. The subscription rates have ac tually decreased. While this tremendous Increase in the cost of whit paper Is laid at the door of the paper combine, conditions are such as to make it comparatively easy for the combine to exist. A few months ago it .was announced that the government had "smashed tne paper trust." it did. It dissolved the hold ing COmnanv (hat nnntmllMl the Vfl H ous paper mills of the country in the trust. Now, however, an owning com pany has been formed to take over the ownership of the mills themselves, and this sort of combine is much harder for the government to deal with. The publishing business has greatly expanaea in recent years, largely in creasing the demand for nnnAr find keeping the established mills extreme ly Dusy Keeping up with the demand. The supply of timber suitable for wood pulp is limited in the United States, so that capital has not been eager to build new mills. Hence, those al ready, in existence find it trol the trade at their own price. There are said to be extensive for ests suitable for wood pulp In Canada, but it is hard to reach them and the tariff must be paid. Thus the short age of raw material, the tariff. n the Increased demand for paper all make things easy for the paper trust. Will some genius kindly come for ward and discover a good substitute for wood puln in male in c shit nanor? That Is the crying need of the hour. Meanwhile the dailv news no,- Ushers are trying to meet the in- creasea expense without charging it up to their subscribers nnrt o Users.

Kansas gold fields are good enough for most Kansans, but this state has one representalve among the Nevada prospective millionaires. J. C. Starr, well known in Kansas polftcs and edi tor of the Scott City News, has large holdings in the Gold Mountain district between Goldfleld and Bullfrog. The former is now a city of 20,000 people. Mr. Starr is Just putting the surplus from his Scott county property In Nevada. Mr. Starr was in Topeka this week, having returned from Nevada a few weeks ago. His company is now simply taking out ore and sinking shafts While waiting the arrival of a railroad which Is now building Into the Gold Mountain district. Some of his ore runs as high as $2,500 a ton. The region is an absolute desert, however, and water Is almost as prec ious as gold. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.

The resignation of a prison warden in Delaware who gave up his posi tion on account of his opposition to the whipping post will probably re vive the agitation over that form of punishment in the state. The war den in question, who is a penologist as well as a state officer, frankly ac knowledges that while he did his duty, that duty was most abhorrept to him personally, but that his opposition comes not so much on the personal unpleasantness of administering the lash as on a conviction, based upon observation and experience .that in stead of producing any good results the punishment aggravates matters by rousing all that is passionate and re vengeful against the law in the pris oner and acts as a deterrent rather than as an aid to reformation.

The tone of Mr. Taft's addTess is good, particularly in the large and rea soning way with which he exposes the fallacies of Bryan and in a sense takes that gentleman into camp, wherever he discerns something practicable in hi3 doctrines.

The usual dally, program of the president while he is at Oyster Bay begins with his bounding out of bed (and that is really his characteristic method of beginning the day) and hastening for the shower bath. The hour is never later than seven. He takes the shower coid as cold as he can get it. There is a prodigious splashing of water, and it Is a man with color surging in- his cheeks who seeks the breakfast table. He is in variably attired, then, for a ride breeches, soft shirt and crash coat, with his big Panama lying on a con venient chair in the hallway. On the way from the breakfast room to his mount, he makes a stop of from ten to twenty minutes in his study. There the most important telegrams or let ters that have reached Secretary Loeb since the conference of the day pre ceding are on the desk. Whateevr problems they present he takes with hmi on his morning ride. Archie and Quentin, or frequently Mrs. Roosevelt, are his companions on these rides, al though several times a week the presi dent goes forth unaccompanied, says Charles Somerville. in the Broadway Magazine.' Back from this morning constitu tional, at ten-thirty, he dictates his private correspondence, and sharply on the stroke of eleven Secretary Loeb makes his appearance. The hurry ing secretary comes to the house in a big, white secret service automobile the only automobile with any right of way at all On the private road. From one to three assistants are with him. The official mall is carried in big leather pouches. Two, hours of the fastest sort of work goes on then, and Secretary Loeb and his assistants do not look any too fresh when they re sume their seats In the white auto mlble and are taken back to the exec utive offices in the village. During his daily morning visit. Sec retary Loeb acquaints the president wlt the names of his visitor or visit ors for the day. At one In the after noon the president is ready to receive them. Usually, however, they have already been received by Mrs. Roose velt. There is no form of etiquette observed, and if a visitor arrives be fore the president has finished his statesmanly labors, the chief execu tive,, looking through his study win dow at the sound of an arriving car riage is very apt to rush out on the porch and greet his visitor in the most informal and therefore all the more cordial fashion. A Laconic Messenger. Few reminiscences of the Civil war have been written in as entertaining a manner as those contributed to Mc Clure's by the late Carl Schurz. The following extract from "The Battle of Missionary Ridge," in the September number, tells how General Schurz and his staff officers learned of the result of this great battle: "The great victory of Missionary Ridge was announced to us in an al most casual way. There was imme diately behind my line of battle a lit tle dilapidated negro cabin in which our headquarter orderlies had con structed, out of planks found lying around, something like a table with a bench on each. side. There I sat down with my staff officers to "supper' cof fee, hardtack, and, perhaps, a slice of bacon. We had hardly begun our re past, when my division surgeon dis mounted outside, came in. and Joined the revelers. He was a somewhat monosyllabic gentleman and gave us only a 'good evening.' After a while I asked him: 'Where do you come from, doctor?' 'Just from Chattanooga, sir.' 'Looked for medical stores, I sup pose?' Yes. sir. 'There was a tremendous noise around there. What was it?'. 'Fighting, sir." 'Fighting where? "On the hillside, sir. Boys went up nicely.' 'What hillside 7' 'They call it Missionary Ridge, I believe, sir.' "'What? Our boys went up Mis sionary Ridge? Did they get to the top 7 Now De a little more lively, doctor!' 'Yes. sir: we could see them climb up there, and there was much wavlne of hats and cheering.' "What Got to the top And the rebels ran away?' 'I heard some officers say so at headquarters.' 'By Jove, then we nave won- tne battle!' 'I guess so. sir said the doeter quietly." Fame In Certain Quarters. Edwin Markham was one of the guests of honor at a reception given by a wealthy New York woman. Dur ing a conversation she said: My dear Mr. Markham. I've want ed for years to meet you and tell you how I Just love that adorable picture of yours the one with the man hoeing, you know and he tak ing off his cap, and that poor wife of his at least I suppose It's his wife bowing her head, and they both look so tired, poor things. I have a copy of it in my own den, and the children have another In their play room, and it's It's simply exquisite." "The Angelus, I presume you mean? repliea tne poet, gravely. "Yes." doubtfully, but we always call It 'The Hoe Man'!" "I am glad you like it, madam. said Mr. Markham, and he took an early opportunity of escaping from his sincere but mistaken admirer. Success Magazine. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.1 Isn't a man with a dimple Just too cute? Everybody knows how everybody else ought to do things. The more a man knows the less he pretends to know. Old bachelors are as hard to under stand as widows are easy. A woman never pretends to be young until she begins to feel old. Once In a while a lasy man looks for work merely out oSidle curiosity. We would all have more money If there were fewer things to spend it for. The sailor who is on the water wasron would probably prefer to land at a dry dock. A man Isn't necessarily the head of the house because he wears a big hat. It Is surprising how quickly a man recovers from what he Imagined was a fatal attack of love. THE EVENING SIORY A Second Esmeralda. (By Constance D'Arcy Mackav.'k When Hollister Fanshaw first caught sight of her she was standing at the door of a dairy, her hands clasped behind her head. Her gown of rose-colored print accentuated tne lines, o her supple figure, her golden brown hair was gathered la a heavy coll at the nape of her neck. Beside nor stood a brimming milk pail, its sides gleaming as the light struck them. Fanshaw paused. The roads over which he had ridden were dusty and parched under the heat of the July sun, and suddenly this dairy, set in its cool expanse of fields, seemed a most desirable place. Nearby was the farm to which it belonged a rambling, old fashioned homestead. Fanshaw's eyes swept it in. one comprehensive glance and returned to the girl at the dairy door. He decided that nothing short of a glass of mlJk could quench his thirst. Dismounting, he tethered his horse to the fence. "Could you tell m the road to Berkeley?" he inquired, for the truth was he had lost his way twice that morning, not so much from neglect of reading the sign posts as from a dreamy inattention to their pointing fingers, for the spell of the great out doors was on him and he reveled in the alr-Iadsn with the mingled fragrance of wood and field, the lure of the long, white road. Yet now that he had ques tioned his dairy divinity he was once more alert, his dreaminess had fallen from him with astonishing quickness, ness. But before the girl could reply an older woman looked from the door way, and it was her voice that an swered him. She was plump and kindly, with a face like a December apple, ruddy, and a bit withered. It was evident that few visitors passed that way, and she was urgently hospitable in her desire that Fanshaw should not only refresh himself with her new buttermilk, but that he should drink it In comfort indicating a bench inside the dairy where the air seemed like a mountain spring compared to the drowsy blaze of noon without. Fanshaw's horse was contentedly -cropping beneath-tne shade of a giant oak, and Fanshaw himself was equally contented and In clined to linger. He learned that this pleasant bit of rolling country was the Farlev farm, and In return he vouch safed the Information that he had come from the Hillbrook house, the chief hotel of a summer colony some eight miles away. As he talked he glanced from time to time at the girl. "A princess of curds and cream," he thought to himself. "I wonder how such a Jewel came to have a rustic setting!" "I suppose you live here with your aunt. Mrs. Farley he hazarded. The girl smiled. "Mrs. Farley Is not my aunt, she answered, in a sort, arawi lng voice. "I'm an orphan. I work here."-, Mrs. Farley opened her mouth "as if to add something to this speech, then, thinking better of it, closed It again, and rising, went to a shelf near by, and continued her skimming. The girl regarded Fanshaw with wide, childlike blue eyes. "I calculate to go .to the city some dav mvself." she said. "Tell me about New York." And Fanshaw, glad of such a listener, plunged In at once wltn descriptions of Broadway and Wall street, the ruslf, the clamor,-;the.glitter of it all. The girl listened, entranced. Even Mrs. Farley hung on every word. "I often tell Joslah it's a shame," she burst out, "that we live right here from year to year and never get away. Why, the biggest place we've ever been to is Clifford Junction. And I guess that, though the stores there seem big enough for me, they wouldn't be anything in New York." "Oli. I don't know," said Fanshaw, quickly, fearing that his enthusiasm might have -sown the first seeds of dis content. "Plenty- of New Yorkers would be jrlad to own such a beautiful place as this." Mrs. Farlev glowed with pleasure. "I'll tell that to Josiah," she ex claimed. "He thinks there's nothing like the farm. And I hope," she add ed, "that If you're passing by this way you'll stop In and see us some time again." Fanshaw promised that he would. All at once the chattering groups on the hotel veranda seemed vapid and uninteresting. He discovered that golf and tennis bored him unutterably. Even the plans for the flower cotillion to be held three weeks hence failed to Inspire him, though only the day before he had been one of the prime movers of the Innovation. The sweets of popularity had become suddenly tasteless, for the very reason, per haps, that Fanrhaw had had more than his share. Every one liked the broad-shouldered, frank-eyed young fellow, from the senior partners of the law firm where he was making conspicuous progress to the freckled urchins that followed him about the golf course. He had won his own way up. His friends were the friends of a man who had a seemingly Inexhaustible supply of native energy and pluck. He worked hard, and when time for recreation came, he played hard, throwing him self Into the enjoyment of his present vacation with all the zest and ardor of a boy. His plans now had but one Xocus point the Farley farm. Sometimes it was in the morning he rode over, sometimes late afternoon, but whether late or early. Fate favored him. Es meralda was always there, now mold ing butter with swift touches of her deft fingers, now pulling up tiny ma rauding weeds from the thrifty flower beds. And as always, her talk, begin ning where It might, ended with the perpetually fascinating topic of the city. Again and again he was forced to describe it. for, her, while Esmer alda listened with unflagging atten tlveness. but when, to amuse her. he talked lightly and cleverly of the sum mer colony at Berkeley, she paid little heed, till he mentioned the flower co tillion, and then she was like a child in her eagerness. "Would you like to go?" asked Fan shaw, without waiting to consider the wisdom of 'the Impulse. Esmeralda was radiant, though Mrs. Farley -was dubious .concerning clothes. Yet when Fanshaw rode over next morniner it appeared that the question hadbeen Joyfully settled, and Esmeralda called to him from the up stairs window that If he would only wait she and Mrs. Farley would be down. After a short pause they came. Mrs. Farley first. In a brown silk dress whose sleeves and panniers had graced fashions that held sway some ten years ago while Esmeralda's pale blue cash mere belonged to an even earlier PCThey were so innocently, pleased with what Mrs. Farle- termed "their fixings" that Hollister Fanshaw had not the heart to protest. He tactfully suggested that the road to the hotel was ong and-dusty, .and. would work havoc with such finery, and that the 'simple sprigged muslins that Esmer alda vrora every day would do equally as well, whereas Mrs. Farley merely smiled and produced two long black bombazine ctoaks antedating even the brown sUk and blue cashmere. These, she said, would cover them from nead to foot so closely that not a speck of dust could penetrate. For a moment Fanshaw weakened. He had a fleeting vision of these two absurdly old-fashioned figures among the ultra-smart crowd at the Hill brook. Then his eyes met Esmeral da's so a-sparkle with anticipation, and he Inwardly called himself a cow ard and a snob. Whatever the out ward symbol of dress might be, there was not a girl at Hillbrook who could compare with this princess of curds and cream. Tht night of the dance was clear and cool. A breeze swept across upland and meadow. Even the loquacious Mrs. Farley seemed to feel the sum mer silence, and on the way from the farm to Hillbrook spoke hardly a word. Esmeralda, too, was qull. From the folds of her all-enshrouding black bombazine cloak her neck rosu, white and slender. Her cheeks were Never, thought Fanshaw, had she faintly flushed, her eye like stars, looked more beautiful. Some people on the broad hotel ver anda paused curiously to watch the arrival of Hollister Fanshaw and hi guests. The moment that passed while Mrs. Farley and Esmeralda removed their wraps was a miserable one for him. Th world was full of snobs. Suppose his dairy divinity should be slighted, patronlzc-d? "Jove!" cried a man at Fanshaw's elbow, "I thought that Miss Van Rem syr was at Newport!" Fanshaw stared. Ther coming to ward him was a princess of curds and cream the cream of white, glistening satin, the curds of billowing lace. "Oh," he groaned beneath his breath, "what an unmitigated fool I've been! More stupid than the dullest dullard!" "Yes," said Miss Van Remsyn, nod ding, "dull enough to prefer the so ciety of a poor little country girl! Dull enough to be chivalrous, to ignore her Inexperience, her ridiculous attempts at dress." "Dull i enough to be madly in love with her," cried Fanshaw, in half sav age hopelessness. "I shouldn't call that dull!" mur mured Miss Van Remsyn, with a hum orous upward glance. "Do you mean that there'd be a ghost of a chance for me?" stam mered Fanshaw, suddenly Joyful. "Oh Hollister, you are quite, quite blind?" said Esmeralda the second. (Copyrighted, 1907, by M. M. Cunningham.)

From the Atchison Globe. Somehow a blooded dog always re minds us of a boy dressed up. Usually when a mother and daugh ter agree, it is on a decision that the father and husband la a crank. Those who are looking for a chance to sacrifice self for others, should get the Job of sitting at the head of the table. "He lives." said a country boy of another young man In his neighbor hood, "on the reputation of his moth er's apple pie." When a man gets mad, his wife is more concerned that the neighbors may hear him. than she is over the cause of his wrath. Considering that John D. Rockefel ler and the Hayes bull dog never do anything wrong, it is surprising how they are talked about, v What right have the women to abuse widowers for marrying their housekeepers, when so many widows marry their hired men? A man never looks so meek and downtrodden as he does when he walks along the street carrying a white parasol over the head of some woman. There are many big questions to be considered now. but In considering them, don't be a hog; don't take everything for yourself, and leave nothing for others. We believe in all kinds of advertis ing except the custom of the women of dressing In black to advertise that they have had a recent death in the family. There are different ways of being shaken, and the kind a man gets when his friends discover he is a Christmas tree hurts as badly as the other kind. When a spin says she never had a chance to marry, her friends say po litely: "O, don't tell us that," but In their hearts they think there is a good deal in what she says. A farmer's wife "accomplishes rar than anyone else In the world, consid ering that she has to work for her husband and children all day, and sit up all night with the turkeys. The size of the task is not always what; delays its accomplishment: A farmer will plow up a 300-acre plat several times before he can get around to digging up his wife's flower bed. Fashion note: We hand down this decision to "Anxious Wife" who in quires when it is proper for a woman to wear silk stockina:: Never, when her husband is- wearing cotton socks with holes in; If firemen were perfectly honest, and not biased in favor of their sex, they would admit that a man running out of his house at night with his night shirt on is a more horrible sight than a woman In her night garments. 'When a man is so busy he can t look UP, this is what always happens: He is called to the telephone by a woman whose voice sounds as if she were away off in Russia suffering with a cold in er head, and talking with a bed quilt over her mouth.

THE TOPESA DAILY STATE JOUENAL.WEPIICSDAY EVEITIITG, AUGUST 23, 1S07. 0 FOUR DIEjN -KAW tittle Children Go Wading and Are Drowned. Parents Wait In Tain For Re turn of kittle Ones. THREE BODIES FOUND Fire Tear 0d Harold Rankin Still Missing. Fleming Hoys the Only Children of Their Parents. "The tragic end of four small Oak land boys kept the entire population of the suburb searching the Kaw river all night. The children were drowned while wading: In the river about 5 o'clock last evening. The names of the boys are, Earl Fleming, aged 10 years; Charles Fleming, aged 8 years; Lauren Rankin, aged 7 years, and Harold Rankin, aged 5 years. One body was recovered last night. It was that of Lauren Rankin, the elder of the two Rankin children. About fifty men searched the river all night, and are still searching for the bodies. Two more bodies were found this morning. The children were drowned while wading around the edge of a sand bar at the foot of Chester street, and while a man named J. Herron was loading and near the bank, and several hun dred feet away. He saw the boys play ing on the bar when he began loading sand, and as he drove away, noticed that they were not in sight. Presum ing that they had gone home, Herron drove away. The search for the chil dren was not begun until almost night, after the father of the Fleming boys came home from work, and became alarmed at their absence. With a few friends he hastened to the river where the children were last seen, and found their clothing piled on the sand bar. The bell on the Presbyterian church was rung, and the Inhabitants of Oak land gathered to Join in the search. Boats and seines were secured, and the men began dragging the river in the vicinity of the sand bar. In the mean time, about twenty-five men, who could not get boats to help in the search formed a chain, each holding to the hand- of another, and began wading up and down the river. It was In this manner that the body of the little Rankin boy was found. James Jessup. a member of this searching party, felt the body with his feet while wading in deep water. The search was continued all night, eager volun teers taking the place of men who dropped out with exhaustion. This forenoon two more bodies were found, about a quarter of a mile down stream from the sandbar. These were the Fleming children, Karl, aged 10, and Charles aged 8. The body of lit tle Harold Rankin, aged 5 years, is still missing, and about 200 men are keeping up the search for the body of the fourth child. The singular circumstance of all the boyp being drowned at once, lepds to the belief that one of the children fell off into deep water, and the others were lost while attempting to" save him. Herron. who was loading sand, heard no outcries, and went away with out suspecting that a tragedy had been enacted within plain sight had he been looking that way. The Fleming children were the only sons of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Fleming, of 137 Forest avenue. The other boys. Lauren and Harold Rankin, were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Rankin, of 27 Forest avenue. Fleming and Rankin are both carpenters employed in the Santa Fe shops. STABS HIS SON. Sixty Tears Old and a Cripple, He Slays His Offspring. Mascoutah, III., Aug. 28.

The horse was returned to tho barn on Monday night. Before it was returned Mr. Newell had sworn out the complaint charging the Paschos with embezzlement.

Denton; -a." railway contractor from Texas, arrived in Topeka yester day and is today- going over the line of the Topeka-southwestern ana ex pects to file a bid for the grading from Topeka to the westvllne of Shawnee county, Mr. Denton is one of the larg est railway contractors in the state of Texas and has just finished 312 miles for the FrisCo" system:- He is being taken over the dine by, Mr. V. H Parkhurst,-the chief engineer of 'the Southwestern and they are accOm panied by Mr. J. H. Maxwell, the local contractor, who will probably Join Mr. Denton- in filing j a bid for the first twenty miles, of work. When Mr. Denton was seen this morning, he said: "I have a large outfit ready to move to Topeka as soon as I get the word that 1 am the lucky bidder. I understand Mr. Max well Is also ready to put his outfit to work and we ought to be able to get 200 teams to work within thirty days after we commence, which could prob ably complete the dirt work to the west line of Shawnee county before the. end of the year. I expect to go over the line thoroughly and make a careful examination of the class of work before I file my bid." Mr. Taylor, president of the South western, said: "We have five or six large contractors figuring on this work. Some of them are perfectly willing to go in and take a subcon tract if they are not the lucky bidder. so it looks as though we are not go ing to have any trouble from the scarcity of teams or labor. Over twenty-five farmers have filed aDDli cation with me for positions on the work with their teams and there Is some twenty-five ar thirty extra teams in Topeka that will go to work as soon as the contractor starts grad ing." Mr. W. F. Shamleffer, general right of way agent, for the Topeka-South-western, is now making up an estimate of the cost of the right of way from Bowles avenue at the city limits of Topeka to the west line of Mission township. This is the right of way that is to be paid for by the, pro ceeds of the bonds. sold to the local business men. The engineering department has located the line now, to a point half a mile south of Grange hall and by the end of the week they will have located the entire line through Mis sion township. This will enable the right of way. department to ascertain the exact amount Of .tnoney it will take to acquire this right of way. This all has to be done before the grading of the line can commence. The engin eering department Is finding some dif ficult work in getting through Mission township and conforming to the re quirements of one per cent grade and the four degree curvature. When Mr. Taylor asked Mr. V. R.: Parkhurst, chief engineer, why his party was so long in. getting through Mission township, Mr. Parkhurst re plied. "We are trying to fit a one per cent railroad on a 2 per cent country and it takes considerable cut ting and filling to do that, and at the same time maintain any kind of align ment," Say He Took a Lot of Money Chicago.

ONE BOY MAY BE ALIVE Five-Year'-Old Harold Rankin Hevcd to Be In Corn Field. Be- Marshal Orville Taylor of Oakland this afternoon telephoned the police sta tion asking that officers be sent to Oak land to asisst in searching a corn field near the scene of the drowning In the Kaw river Tuesday afternoon when it was supposed that four small boys were drowned. Three of the bodies have been recovered but it is now thought that there is a chance that the youngest boy, Harold Rankin, five years of age, may have become frightened when the other three boys were drowned and hid in the corn field. This belief is strengthened by the fact that footprints of a small boy have been found leading from the sand bar on which the boys were playing prior to the time that they were drowned towards the corn field. It is also said that a part of Harold Rankin's clothing has not been found and this strengthens the be lief that he may yet be found alive and In hiding in the corn field. HE'S A GREAT MAN Carnegie's View, of the Kaiser to, Be Published. vBerlin.n Aug. r 28. Andrew Car-, negie's, estimate of, Emperor William, probably derived from his personal interviews with his majesty at Kiel in June last, will appear in a periodical. The Morgen, tomorrow under the title of "Emperor William's Economic Mis sion." Mr. Carnegie recalls the remark-Cardinal Richelieu made to King Louis XIII one day "A great man has arisen in Eng land, your majesty. His name' is Cromwell." Continuing Mr. Carnegie says: "I may say that a great man has arisen in Germany the emperor. It Is impossible to follow his deeds with out feeling that here is a personality, here Is a power which is able to do good or evil In the world. -Hitherto he has given Germany a stimulus to industrial activity." RISE OF GOATS IX GERMANY. Goat Clubs and a. Model Goat Farm Vnder Official Patronage. There is a movement In Germeny to popularize-the goat as a domestic ani mal chiefly on account of its milk, which is said to be good for every one and by far the best food for bottle-fed babies and young children. Some pro moters are especially anxious to see the goat flourishing in the neighbor hood of manufacturing towns. In upper Silesia several workmen s welfare associations have offered prizes for goat raising and keeping. In ad dition, several communal administra tions In the same region encourage goat breeding and keeping in various ways. At Tarnowitz tne authorities nave gone far ahoad. They have started a goat farm in connection witn a plant nurserv established with public funds and run for the public benefit. A tract of fifteen acres .was first leased and later purchased at a cost of $1,1 2 5. Buildings and stock increased the In vestment to about double that amount. The local administration contributed $500 and the Prussian treasury an ectual amount. The balance was raised by loan, the interest being assessed on the property of the district until the Investment bej-an to pay; The experiment was begun early in 1905. The reslut has been a great de velopment of interest In zoat culture throughout the province. Small farm ers and landowners of all sorts are stocking up and many of the factory people own ffoats and sTaze them by the roadsides or on the common lands. The farm- is not yet paying its way, but It is expected to in a year or two. The Rhenieh-Wesphallan manufac turing region has also taken up the goat. There are many goat culture clubs and arranfrements are being made to Institute a central goat pro motion station at Altenbochurn, a busy village whore there are coal znlnes, brickyards and steam mills.

In a letter to Acting Secretary of War Olfver made public. Representative James A. Taw ney of Minnesota, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, re sents what he regards as imputations by Chairman GoethalB of the Isthmian canal commission and Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte that congress has fail ed to appropriate sufficient money to carry on the work of digging the Pan ama canal to the full capacity of the force on the Isthmus. Mr. Tawney says he was greatly surprised at the state ment of Colonel Goethals that lrt con sequence of the appropriation being In adequate to meet expenditures It "Had become necessary to lay off thousands of men and even more surprised at a reported opinion s-y -the attorney gen eral that under the .amendment to the urgent deficiency appropriation act cov ering eight month the canal appropri ation must be apportioned to certain periods, which apportionment could "not be waived or modified except upon the happening of some extraordinary emergency or unusual circumstances which could not be anticipated at the time of making such apportionment." Mr. Tawney says: "If the attorney general has given an opinion to this effect it Is evident that the opinion was given without carefully reading the sec tion referred to. The appropriation for the canal expenditures for the fiscal year 1908 were made In accordance with estimates submitted by the Isthmian canal commission through the secretary of war and with the exception of the mount estimated for the administra tive purpose of the canal zone govern ment the appropriations are equal in amount to the estimates submitted. If, therefore, this section did apply to the canal expendituies the committee on appropriation in the last congress is In no way responsible for the fact that the appropriation for labor and equip ment are inadequate.".' Mr. Tawney insisted that the canal Appropriation fell within the excepted class, in that the construction of the canal "was authorized-by law and'the limit of cost fixed. The canal appro priations are excepted from the pro vision of law requiring the apportion ment of expenditures to certain periods. Mr. Tawney argued for the reason that the appropriations made for this fiscal year are not only within but far below the limit of cost fixed by law. Mr. Tawney added: "I would suggest that Col. Goethals be advised to continue the work as he has been doing regardless of any ap portionment that has been made of the appropriation for canal expenditures. The appropriations for labor and equip ment will certainly' be adequate to meet the requirement of the work as he desires to carry it on until congress convenes next December. He can then submit with his estimates the addition al amount necessary to continue the work for the remainder of this fiscal year and there will be no question about congress making the additional appropriation nor will there be any question whatever of any one having violated the section of the statutes re ferred to for even a layman with practical common sense can see upon a careful reading of the section that it does not apply to appropriations of this kind." It is said at the war department that probably Mr. Tawney is under a mis apprehension as to the facts, for Col. Goethals has never sought to place upon congress any blame for the present state of affairs but explicitly stated that It has arisen through the unex pected progress made In the work of construction. Also It is stated that the attorney general has not rendered any opinion on the subject. GRAIN OPERATORS BETIHS. Kansas City. Kan., Board of Trade Telegraphers Back at Work.

KEEPS JUDGE BUSY. One Hundred and Forty-Nine Hare Been Gathered In. People Who Let Wagons Stand In Streets Arrested. Chief Katon has backed up a notch What was intended for a .little diver sion has proven to be red hot, and he Is willing to get down off the wrong side" crusade by the shortest route. He has now issued. Instructions to the offi cers to refrain from arresting violators of the "wrong side" ordinance unless they drive more than one block on the wrong side. In the meantime the offi cers who are sealously holding their Jobs by obeying orders, and fearing that they are being "spotted Dy tnose who will report them to the chief If thev "let one guilty man escape, are dragging In the violators, ana tne jailer Is fining them a dollar each. The judge is so busy trying to eaten up with his docket that he can not attend to assessing the fines, so" the jailer says, as he takes down the name, age and occupation of the victim: "Tou are charged with driving on the left side of the street. Guilty or not guilty?" Then the victim speaks up and says. "I didn't know er New Instructions to Patrolmen. "Two hundred more in the same fix," says the Jailer. "One dollar, please." The police do not like the order, and try to evade it when they can without being caught. They feel that they are making enemies who, can do them plenty of damage when they try for jobs under the coming administration. One officer, who intends to leave tne force within a few days, said: "I have not arrested any 'leftsiders and I ajn't going to. I am always busy in the air 1 a n-Vi en thev Hrlv- bv Several prominent citizens have been arrested. One ladv. the wife of a Kan sas avenue merchant, was arrested, but some one bluffed Chief Eaton out of placing her name on the police regis ter. He explained that It had been "fixed up." An officer arrested N- H. Loomls for driving about twenty feet on the wrong side of the sacred ave nue, but the attorney defied the police force, and was neither booked nor fined. Major A. M. Harvey, who was among the first victims of the new order, was booked, but says he will not pay the fine. A. Reinisch, superin tendent of city parks, was arrested yesterday. The grand total of arrests for the offense of driving on the left side was 149 at 10 o'clock this morn ing. The ratio per hour Is dropping off. Onlv 2 3 have been arrested ana fined in the past 24 hours. However, the right side ordinance is a good one' and people will soon learn to obey It. J. S. Warner and A. G. Potter, the firm of" Warner Potter, corner of Sixth and Quincy street, have been arrested on a charge of "obstructing the streets." The complaint was is sued by City Attorney Togo Drenning in person. "Knockers" have been saying a plenty about the wagons standing at the front and side of the Warner Potter establishment. The police have also been after John Rhodes, who keeps a lot of everything at the corner of Tenth and Kansas avenue. But Rhodes is in the clear, and defies the police. When they attempted to reprove him for pil ing his goods on the parking," he called their attention to the fact that he is entitled to area-way space, as the city sidewalk is on the land which should belong to him. Dr. M. S. McGrew was arrested last night for "exceeding the speed limit" in his automobile. His arrest led to a complication which Chief Eaton will have a hard time getting around. It was called to the attention of the Big Chief that every street car In every part of the city, violated the speed ordinance every hour In every day. This Is a fact, as the cars could not run on schedule time without "beating the limit," but the city railway com pany Is a proposition a little to large for the police department It Is rumored that Chief Eaton and his braves will keep In the public eye, even though they have to abandon the "left side" Idea, and that the present wave of reform will be followed by another The next scheme, according to inside Information, will be to arrest persons for expectorating on the side walks There is an ordinance against this crime, as well as against driving on the left side- The chief has an nounced that the ordinances are be ing enforced better than they ever were before, and that this administra tion Is certainly a winner of second terms for all persons now holding of fice or position.

An Interesting discussion has arisen in. the English .a n H French Dress as to how. a man ..an mak-A more line than now of the available hours of uayugnt. William Wll ett. has Inst puousnea a pamphlet on the subject. He writes: For nearlv half a vear the Klin shines for several hours each day while we are asleep, and is rapidly nearlng the horizon when we reach home after the work of the day is over. Under ine most favorable circumstances there then remains nni a hHof anell nt de clining daylight in which to spend the 8 SS ,elsure at our disposal. Now if some of the hours of wasted sunlight could be withdrawn from the beginning and added to the end of the uav now manv nrtvnntairpfl would ha gained by all, and particularly by those who spend In the open air, when the light permits them to do so, whatever rime tney have after the duties of the day have been discharged. "By a simple exrjedient these ad vantages can be secured. We can have u minutes more davlight after 6 p. m. every day duriner Mav. June. Julv and August, and an average of 45 min utes more every day during April and September. The expedient which I propose is that at 2 a. m. on each of the four Sunday-mornings In April the standard time shall advance 20 min utes, and on each of the four Sundays In September shall recede 20 minutes. Another means of arriving approx mately at the same end would be to alter the clock 30 minutes on six Sun days, the last three in April and the first three in September. We lose nothing and gain most substantially. Having made up our minds to be satis- fled on four occasions with a Sunday or a nours and 40 minutes long, or 23 hours and 30 minutes long on three occasions, the advantages aimed at will follow automatically without any trouble whatever Everything will go on Just as it does now. except that as the later hours of the day come around they will bring more .light with them." Mr. Willett calculates that on an av erage 210 hours of daylight are wast ed every year by very person. The expense of the artificial liht used in this time will be saved bodily. A man who left work at 5 p. m. would have as much daylight before him as a man who leaves now at 3:40. Sat urdays If he left at 12 o'clock it would be equal to stopping under present conditions at 10:40 a. m. London Cor, New Yerk Sun.

Watts has been under me jurisdiction of the juvenile court for more than a year and has been behav ing himself fairly well until last week when he went, or broke into the Smith home on East Second street and stole a pocketbook containing $20. Pettier thefts of this sort have been charged up to him in times past and Judge Hay den concluded today that it would be a waste or time to try and reform him with further talks and opportunities to mend his ways so he sent him to the place -where they make boys behave wnne tney are there,- at least. As to the Bagan lad, he and his lit tie brother have-been known to the police as "criminals" since they got out of dresses. Of late they have been mixed up m such crimes as "horse- steallne:." kidnanln? o nti n.ttv th.f.. Tney are mere mites in size for their years but nothing Is too large or small for them to take possession of. if it takes their fancy. It was only last week when they, with some other bovs. were up before the probate court for the horse wealing and kidnaping episode. Judge Hayden gave them another chance as well as a heart to heart talk on how boys should act to become shin ing lights in their community "and country.' The verr day-he" allowed "them to 'go nome witn Tneir motner, they stole a watermelon from a grocery store. Since then they have done a few other things quite as baa ana so the judge decided today-to send tne eider boy to the Re form school. He will give the little taeker one more chance. There are any quantity of other bovs. under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile court, wno. nave not taken advantage of the leniency of Judge Hayden in his depire to give them a chance to behave themselves, who will be sent by him to tne Reform school or some other cor. rectionary institution Just as soon ai another complaint Is made against them. So it behooves them to take the opportunity they now have to travel the straight road. How Mountain Sheep Leap. Soon after we started a black bear he ran along the foot of a cliff and past a bunch of mountain sheen un on the cliffs, following one of them to the edge, it was a big ram and when he got near the edge of the cliff he came to bay, and for several minutes stood off one of the fox terriers which had kept close to him. Prettv soon a roxnouna got up on top and joined the terrier, and they both made a charge on tne sneep, ana it looked pretty bad for him, as we thought, but he did not seem to think so, for he made a sidewlse spring straight out form the edge of the precipice, apparently six feet, and then spread his feet in a sort of bracing way. and with his body In a perfectly horizontal position and parallel to the face of the cliff drop ped straight down to the foot of the ciirr. There is an old theory that mount ain sheep In Jumping from a cliff light on their horns, but that has long been exploded. However, many have sup posed that they jumped down in the ordinary way, alighting first on their front feet. .This. I believe, is also an error, except when the distance is slight. Where the- distance is at all great. I now- entertain no doubt that they, light on ail their feet at once, and as squarely as if standing still. Just, as this one did. The position of this sheep when dropping was stiff logged, but the Instant his feet touched the ground his Joints gave way, with increasing resistance, however, acting as springs until his belly almost touch ed the ground, before the force of the Impact was overcome by the mus cular resistance. The philosophy of this obvious. The hoof of the mountain sheep are also heavily cushioned and are about as elastic as a rubber ball. There seem ed to be no more Jar when this sheep lit than if he had descended but two or three feet. He was up. and away Instantly, and was soon out of reach of the dogs, which wouldn't think of making the Jump. A short distance to the left of where the sheep stood the cliff sloped off so that he could have descended to the foot of it easily, without a leap of more than four or five feet, but the dogs could have followed and thus kept hot after--. him. This, way down was In plain sight of the sheen and he was no doubt perfectly familiar with It and with- ait tne leatures of the cliff, as it was his home. It seemed as If the sheep decided that the only, or best way to baffle the dogs waft to do some thing that they could not do. I would not dare to assert that such was the case lest I should run op against some of the naturalists wno. claim that wild animal do not reason.- The dogs were arrald to -approach even as near the edge of the ;llfT as where the sheep stood when he iumn- ed, and when he had passed out of their sight over the edge they seemed to think he had taken wing, as they immediately ault the chase and came STOCK SHIPPERS To Insure Yourselves Best Results Consign To Clay, Robinson Go,, Llva Sfcck Commission Merchants.

The matter, which has been kept rery secret, would have caused a great deal of notoriety to all concerned fcad not the young man produced con clusive evidence of his innocence. It seems, the suspicion of his em ployer was attracted by his apparent expensive dressing. He receives but $15.00 per week, which fact caused him to be watched, and Monday after noon when he appeared in another new suit his employer started an ln Testigation. The matter was quietly hushed up when It was found that the young man had purchased his clothes from the Scotch Woolen Mills at 532 Kansas avenue, and so surprised was his em ployer at the quality of the garments that he has placed an order for three suits with this company, the price he usually paid for one suit. 2 Think School Shoes J t t t CHILD HERE True Economy.

The Beacon saj's: "I came to see about that sur plus of 200,000 which is in the bank for me," was the rather unusual state ment made to Banker Jobes last night as at the close of banking hours he was called to meet a woman who was waiting him in the parlor. The woman seems poFsessed with the idea that she has an enormous sum of money in the National Bank of Commerce, of which Mr. Jobes is president. "I am surprised that you have not received this money before this," said the banker. "Are you sure Mayor Graham has not paid It to you?" "Oh. yes." said Mrs. Rynicker, "I am quite sure. Besides, why should Mayor Graham pay me money when it Is in this bank? You are aware that more than a hundred years ago my great grandfather left with this bank the foundation for its surplus.and how should the mayor have anything to do with it?" "Well," said Mr. Jobes, "our attor ney informs us that in cases of this kind, where an account has run so long, the proper thing is to pay It over to the mayor of the city to be dis posed of by him. It is .now five min utes after 3 o'clock and the mayor always leaves his office at 3:10. If you see him tonight you will have to hurry." and bowing her out, he closed the door. Mrs. Rynicker hurried to the city building, where she called upon the mayor, but there is where she made a mistake. Her demand for ten thou sand plunks never 'fazed". him. After the demands made upon him on ac count of a 3100.000 drainage canal and a 1281.000 storm water sewer, Mrs. Rynicker scarcely annoyed him. He simply told her to go into the room of Mrs. Mason, the police ma tron and wait till he had time to talk to her, and the police matron did the rest. Has English Money Coming. Wichita, Aug. 28.

Lucas went to Kansas City yesterday to spend two days. Talk about your beauty shows! Tou should have seen that bunch at the tea given by the Lambda Alpha Lambda girl3 for their visiting sorority sisters at the home of Miss Hazel Howe yester day. Not in a long time has there been such a showing of youthful charm In one assemblage In Topeka. The local L. A. L.'s were the hostesses, the' visit ing L. A. L.'s guests of honor and among those asked to meet them were the Owls and other belles of the Mellins' Food crowd. There were present also a few Old Things who have been out all the way from one to five years and al though in some circles they are regarded as very fresh and attractive they owned yesterday that in contrast to school girl loveliness they felt as faded as a sum mer hat the latter part of August. The tea was really charming. The decora tions were not elaborate for the hos tesses wisely left that detail to the com pany but the veranda and the rooms were attractively adorned with garden flowers and greenery. Miss Howe, Miss Isadel Heath, Miss Gertrude Mulvane and Miss Mary Sutherland received and Miss Julia Wellhouse, Miss Helen Shar itt. Miss Nadine Lytle, Miss Corinne Cos ton and Miss Emma Bolmar. assisted. In the dlnlng room Miss Helen Lindsay and Miss Gladys Scott seated at opposite ends of the attractive table served Ices and there were a number of the younger girls assisting in this room. Last night the men friends of the hos tess sorority wera given an opportunity to meet the visitors at a garden party at the home of Misses June, Helen and Frances Mitchell. 1307 Buchanan street, and tonight there will be a banquet, for L. A. L.'s only, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Willis A. Coston whose daugh ters. Misses Corinne and Rachel Coston, are members of the local chapter. By the way, some of the visiting girls are wearing awfully good-lookin' clothes. une wonuexs what girls who dress so elaborately at seventeen will wear at twenty-five. There was one dainty little thing at the tea yesterday who looked for all the world like a Watteau Shep- neraess. ah she lacked was the crook. Her gown was something airy in light blue and she had on a stunning hat with black and white plumes but the piece do resistance of her toilet was a Perfectly Grand renaissance lace coat which would have made 'em sit up and take notice at a grown-up reception. Then there was another girl in a darling pink and 'white striped- grenadine Empire gown trimmed with Dresden ribbon and still another in an exquisite white prin cesse all lace and hand tucks and em broidery and there were no end of at tractive lingerie gowns. Miss Frank Duncan of Denver who has visited in Topeka a number of times and is very popular here is attending the conclave. She wore a lavender gown yesterday in which she was very easy to look at. Somebody wondered at so many of the visitors wearing silk and even voile gowns on such a warm day: they look beautiful, of course, but one would think they would be uncomfortable. But grac ious me! Those girls who have had grand new clothes made for this occas ion, do you think they aren't going to wear them regardless of the weather? A woman, young or old, never feels un comfortable as long as she looks well. One of the older chaps was asked to take a visiting girl to the dance tomor row night, so he asked a friend to. look her over at the tea and let him know if he had drawn a lemon. Last night she telephoned him the result of her in vestigation. "There'll be no lemon!" she said. "They are all the sweetest things you ever saw and if it wasn't for doing without them you'd eat them alive."

"I wonder If it would be proper," a girl said yesterday, "to publish the an nouncement in the society column that the stuff is off between my Steady and me, and that there is a vacant hammock In our backyard?"

Burton Junior, who is called Junior or Ju-ju by most of his friends. Ju-Ju. has- his own little set of clubs and is -something of a golf enthusiast himself. Ask him about his score and he will tell you care lessly, "O I make it in about sixty." On the train coming down from Chi cago yesterday' there was an ac quaintance of his parents with whom he struck up a friendship. He was soon going through the man's pockets where he found al small newspaper picture of his grandfather, Mr. H. U. Mudge, third vice president of the Rock Island. "O!"-' exclaimed Ju-Ju at this discovery.1- ''Do you know H. U.?" In Ju-ju's brief life his parents have moved about from town to towrt and from house to house as railway people are obliged to do until Ju-Ju's ideas of domestic life are inseparably linked with moving and house hunt ing. The first time he met little Betty Histed he proposed to her in these words: "Tou be a wife with me and then we'll move." When his par ents went to Chicago they found a home that' suited Ju-Ju all right and when he saw his mother with a broom in her hand,, one, ,day he burst Into tears. "I like th,lsfpj.ace," he sobbed. "And I don't want to move!"

The story goes fiat a Topeka girl who is always polite to everybody and has to suffer the penalty of such good nature was disturbed in the midst -of a Sunday afternoon nap once upon a time by a man who asked her to drive out in the country, and pick autumn leaves. "As long as she was awake anyway, without much chance of get ting to sleep again, she thought she might as well accept and besides she said the man was such a dead one picking autumn leaves would be the most appropriate manner of passing the time with hirri. So she went for the drive and he was more tiresome than usual and the afternoon wore wearily away and she resolved for the thousandth time to cultivate a mean, selfirh disposition and never let her good nature get her into such a scrape again. They drove and drove and drove and when they came back to town it was six o'clock and as they started down the street where the girl lived and she was breathing a sigh of relief to think it would soon be over and steeling herself against an im pulse to ask him In for supper, they passed a drug store and he wanted to know If she didn't want a drink. Gratitude at the thought that her mar tyrdom was about ended prompted the girl to go the limit. "Why, yes," she said. I am thirsty. I m so glad, replied her escort 'as he turned-the horse around, "because there's a well out by Washburn college which has the best water you ever tasted and I'm Just dying for a good drink."

They grade from indistinct over plaids and shadow stripes to the bright, dashy pattern effects. The tendency is still to shorter coats and the new style features are so radical that the good dresser will appreciate the change. Our Competitors Are already on record in an advertisement as suring you that "there is no change in styles" and they assure you further that there will not be any change for next spring that the styles for 1908 will be just the same as 1907 and on that basis they are urging you to buy now, last season's goods for next year's wear. Brilliant argument certainly. Just think of Topeka cloth ing merchants pushing the products of manu factures who are so slow, so fogy that they do not make any change in style of men's and young men's suits for three seasons in succession.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURHAIr WEDNESpAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1907. 8 IIQRSESCOMINGItl Stables at the Fair Grounds Are Already Nearly Full. Track Is Being Put In Excel lent Shape. GUIDELESS WONDER Fast Trotter Will Be Feature of the Meeting. Jim Underwood Again Being Put Into Condition. The trotters, gallopers and pacers have alreadv commenced to arrive at the fair grounds and if the initial In dications are to be taken as a forecast of the future of the trotting meet to be held next month the outlook is most auspicious. Nearly every stall in Surena, the Guideless Wonder. Who three of the big stables has been re served either for the horses which have already arrived or those that are to arrive within the next few days. Everything indicates a most suc cessful meeting with a string of horses possessing speed and class which should insure the smashing of several of the records of the track. It is a fortunate circumstance which has given the state association the dates from the 10th to the 14th of Septem ber Just when there is a lull in the racing events of the state. It is more than likely that there will be more horses in the citv at the time of the meet than can be accommo dated in the different classes. Inquir ies are coming in to the secretary from all parts of Kansas and the adjoining territory and already several of the classes are filled if all of the entries qualify. The fair grounds Is a busy place at this time. Cloud of dust roll heaven ward in the wake" of the fast harness horses which are being placed in con dition for the test of their speed and endurance at the meeting next month. Trainers, drivers and "swipes" are there by the dozen and the dope as to the winners is as easily picked up as though a small fortune did not depend on picking a winner. Among the horsemen the condition of the track is the constant topic of conversation and though many of the drivers this season are the same as those who in the past have striven to lower the track records there is a general air of confidence. The track has been packed by the rains of the season and the constant driving until it presents a pliable cushionlike sur face which offers the least possible re sistance to the horse and the sulky. Secretary Krelpe is about the busiest man to be found In the city preparing for the event of the season in racing circles. haven't time to even talk about the meet." he said this morning, "for I am head over heels in work and despite my efforts it is piling up on me and the men who are assisting me. From what I know at this time I am willing to make that statement that the event will be the biggest thing of the kind that has ever been pulled off In Topeka. "We are trying to accommodate all who desire to enter in the races but there is a limit and it Is almost reached. We will have two big features which should be drawing cards though there should not be a race on the program. One is Surena, the guideless wonder, who has been trotting over the Kansas circuit during the last few weeks with wonderful records. This animal is the only trotter of the guideless wonder class now before the public and his per formance is said to be sensational. "At the Eureka races last week Sur ena trotted a mile on a half mile track In the record breaking time of 2:10 or within a quarter of a second of the world's record. Surena is sent around the track without driver or cart and all the paraphernalia necessary for the race is a bridle and circingle. "Another feature that should prove popular to the racing loving population of the city is the pony pacer owned by Dr. Earnest Lowry of Excelsior Springs, Missouri. This pony driven by the four year old son of the trainer of Dr. Lowry's string of horses, George Mc David, and will be sent against time. The pony has a record of 1:04 for a half mile." Tom L. Davidson who has been scout ing over the Kansas circuit for the fair association contributes to the excellent reports that are reaching the secretary's office in this city. He has secured the cream of the attractions at the fairs which have already been held in the state and has the promise of a number of good things for the meet next month. The special rate which ha been made by the railroads Insures a liberal patron age from towns up state as well as Kan sas City and St. Joseph which are in cluded in the low rate made. Among the horses being trained at the fair grounds for the meet next month is Jim Underwood. Monte Campbell's blind trotter who sur prised the wise ones of the city two years ago by the speed which he showed though not in condition when the race was pulled off. Though to tally blind the animal is as courage ous in a race as though not handi capped by the loss of its sight and puts forth his utmost speed In a field of horses trusting to the driver for the protection which it must have to win. The horse has won the admira tion of the spectators wherever raced and may well be styled one of the features of the meeting. The series of ball games between "Wichita and the White Sox is sched uled for the 10th. .11th and 12th of September and arrangements have been made to have the games played in the morning so that they will in no way interfere with the race meet. Surena, the guidless wonder, will trot against his own record of 2:10 Wednesday and Thursday and a fare of one and a third will prevail on all of the railroads entering the city. 1 at 2i IMH TOPEKA WWa $500.00 or more for loan by.

The reason for the tearing up of the new pwement on block 800 Kansas ave nue has been brought to light. A leak In one of the water mains had been dis covered and it was to repair this dam age that the new pavement was taken up. Mrs. Charlton Coffman of Shawnee, Okla is here at the home of her cousin, Mr. George Schenck, 1003 Harrison street. Mr. Coffman met with an accident in the railroad yards at Shawnee and is now in the Santa F? hospital here. Work of excavating for the new pave ment on Central avenue was renewed yesterday and the indications are that something will be done in this line. Sev eral loads of sand have been dumped on Kansas avenue north of Gordon street which caused considerable spec ulation as to whether this activity meant that the pavement here would b? laid shortly.

London, Aug. 28. There is much In terest in a projected speed test between the steamers Lucania and Lusitanla on the latter's maiden Atlantic voyage. Both will leave Liverpool September 7, the Lucania starting two ohours before the Lusitanla which will go under easy steam to Queehstown In order to give the Lucania time to embark Its passen gers and get away. The Lucania should be on the open Atlantic doing twenty-one knots with three hours' start when the Lusitanla emerges from Queenstown, but, travel ing at the rate of twenty-four knots, the latter probaly will overhaul the Lu cania long before America! is sighted. The fact that the Lusitanla is not to be driven at its highest speed on its maiden voyage will give the Lucania a chance of arriving first at New York. Both ves sels are booked full.

Several days ago the State Journal printed an Item about a man who lived under a double hoodoo, his house number being: 1323. This has moved a poet at Elwood, Indiana, to produce the following-: Some people live In palaces. And some In castles grand; Some live along the seashore And scroll upon the sand. But I live in a little cot. That suits me to a "T" It s location is on Easy street, at 13-23. Although the number on my house Is 13-23, A hoodoo and a skldoo, too. It has a charm for me. For when I am discouraged. And troubles round me swarm, I can always find a refuge By its fireside bright and warm. And while I know, that soon or late. My time will come to die When I'll be with the angels In that home up in the sky; Where I will wear a marry crown And sing with joy and glee, I never will forget that cot At 13-13. O. W. Coxen, Elwood,- Ind. L. Beard is quite sick at his' home with lung trouble. C. Beard and wife who have been visiting In Ottawa for a few days have returned to their home in this city. Charles Samson has sold his riding horse Esmeralda to Pawnee Bill, the purchase price is said to have been $450. T handle all of the big ones." boast ed the reporter who was assigned to cover Secretary Taft's passage through the city. "Good morning. Have you been caught yet?" is a common form of salutation among those who drive on Kansas avenue. Teddy R., D. O.

Maline, representing the colored department of the Crittenden home in this city is in Ottawa soliciting funds for her department. A voice distinctly feminine called up the State Journal last night and wanted to know if one had to walk on the ride side of Kansas avenue. The conditkfn of Mrs. John Sargent, who was stricken with apoplexy is much improved and her friends feel that no serious effects will result. The effects of the telegraphers' strike Is being felt by the fans of the city as it has been next to impossible to get returns from the games played. Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Ashby have return ed to their home In Hutchinson after a six weeks' stay in Topeka, during which Mr. Ashby was in the Santa Fe hospital. Commencing September 1 a camp meeting will be held at Garfield park with services at 10, 2:30 and 7:30. The affair will be in charge of Levi R. Lup ton, of Ohio. With the variety of weather which has been the lot of this part of the state for the past month the preva lence of colds and sore throats is not to be wondered at. Attorney General Fred S. Jackson is In Ottawa attending the second annual reunion of the Native Kansans' soci ety of Franklin county and is on the programme for an address. The construction work of the Elks' building at the corner of Seventh and Jackson streets, is being delayed by Fire Marshal Wllmarth who has not approved the plans submitted. The new Olympic vaudeville theater will open September 8th. After a week from Sunday the local pleasure seekers will once again have a chance to see a vaudeville performance. The police have been so busy of late caring for the violators of the ordinance regulating driving that they failed to bag their accustomed number of Indians following a circus date In the city. George Washington Jackson's Twenty-third regiment band entertained the East Side Improvement associa tion last night with a concert on the steps of the old Parkdale school bouse. The ball games scheduled for the 10th, 11th and 12th between the White Sox and the Wichita team will be played in the forenoon so that they will not con flict with the race meeting of the same dates. Marshall's band played to the usual large crowd at City park last night. As a popular attraction for the sum mer months Marshall's band has all the other attractions In the city dis counted. "The fact of the matter is that wad ing which Is said to be so popular with the girls of the society set of the city. Is popular only with the heavy weight class," gleefully remarked a close observer. "Ons of the big guns of east was In the city for a few minutes this morn ing," observed a local politician, re ferring to the fact that Secretary of War Taft passed through Topeka on the Union Pacific. "I wish," said a man whose engage men was recently announced, address ing the society reporter, "that you had not published such a statement, for the girl is threatening to give you another item and deny the first one. Donn F. Fielder. Associated Press operator on the Joplin Globe, who has been visiting his best girl in Topeka during the strike, left today for Omaha where he has a good position witn tne Union Pacific telegraph department. "There is a marked similarity be tween a patented Are extinguisher and a lightning rod." remarked a North Topeka philosopher, "you can never tell how they will act in case of an emergency, and then it Is too late." The White Sox return tomorrow and will play the Oklahoma City Mets on the local grounds tomorrow after noon. Three games with the Okla homa City team and the Mets will be seen no more this season in Topeka. A local street mendicant who makes a livelihood by dispensing music on the streets has added a banjo to his collection and inter sperses his guitar accompaniments to the strains of a mouth organ with those of a banjo. The building which was formerly occupied by Green's meat market is being remodeled and will be used by J. M. French as a harness shop. Mr. French will move into his new loca tion as soon as the repairs on the building are completed. A head-end collision between an au tomobile and a street car was narrow ly averted last night on West Tenth avenue, the two being so close togeth er when the street car was stopped that it was necessary to back to allow the automobile room to get off of the car track. Edward T. Wilder, a Kansas City architect, and son of the former treas urer of the Santa Fe. Edward Wilder, has purchased a tract of suburban land near Kansas City and will im prove it by the erection of the bunga low type of houses costing from $3,000 to J10.000 each. The friends of two well known men of the city who were recently arrested by a red-headed policeman and charg ed with disturbing the peace, are hav ing considerable fun at their expense. It cost the two young men $20 apiece to rock a Coca Cola sign one rock at o'clock in the morning. Otis Hungate is in evidence on the streets again, having returned from an extended fishing trip the shooting season is not open, so of course he was fishing and Just took a gun along for the purpose of shooting bait.

Alexander Miller, forced on It by its father in honor of the child s Illustri ous sire. A 10-year-old girl rushing wildly down West Tenth avenue last night and screaming at every jump as she chased a street car. gave the residents of that section of the city an opportunity for conjectures of all kinds. Failing to catch the car she returned to Topeka avenue and found the two ladies from whom she had become separated and had supposed had taken the street car, calmly eating ice cream at the soda fountain.

Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 18 A report has been received at the Kansas peni tentiary of the capture of Benjamin Cravens in Strom berg. Neb. This makes about the fifteenth report of the capture of Cravens since his escape from the penitentiary in November, 1900. Chap lain McBrian, who prosecuted Craven3 when he was sent to the penitentiary, is to go to Stromberg to see if the right man is in custody. The prison officials do not believe that the man is Cravens. You prove your intelligence when you pick Arbuckles' Ari osa Coffee instead of the mis branded, misnamed "Mocha Java," as the cheapest good coffee in the world. ARBUGKLS BBOa, New York CUx. Mayor Green and F. G.. Drenning, city attorney, engaged in a little tilt last evening at a special meeting of the council but everything turned out all right after all and the city attor ney got the council to believe that the Sixth ward sewer needed Investiga tion and persuaded them to take im mediate action. Just a handful of the property owners of the Sixth ward were present and they reiterated the complaints that have already been mentioned concerning a change in the construction of the sewer from Bu chanan street to Lincoln. They urged that immediate attention be given and that the probe should be exercised. Realizing the temper of the public mind Councilman Montgomery moved that a committee be appointed to in vestigate the construction of the Sixth ward sewer. The council adopted the motion. The sewer committee will probably be named for this work as sisted by the city engineer and such other engineers as the city may en gage. The second action taken was on a motion of Councilman Kutz for the selection of an expert engineer by the mayor to check over the findings made by the present city engineer's force on the Fifth ward sewer. The city wants to bolster up its suit to re cover on the Fifth ward sewer as much as possible and secure con firmatory figures from more than one engineer. The clash of opinion arose after the reading of a letter from the city at- torney to the council which called the attention of the council to the charges of the Sixth ward sewer. The letter was accompanied by certain figures showing raises of the sewer over the original plans. This letter follows: "Gentlemen Mr. John F. Rogers and myself have conducted a partial examination of the conetruction, or misconstruction of the newly built Sixth ward sewer, and find conditions even worse than in the Fifth ward. In the alley between Arch street and Garfield avenue, and Eleventh street and Munson avenue, more than 500 feet of eight Inch pipe has been sub stituted where the plans called for 18 inch pipe. This change will compel the rebuilding of this part of the sewer in the future to accommodate the land in the Metsker tract when it comes Into the city. We believe that an investigation will reveal the fact that the constructors saved more than $4,000 by leaving undone work con tracted to be done. Attached hereto is a partial list of changes made in the sewer. This list was gotten out by Mr. Rogers with my help and shows the amount of raise made In the dif ferent parts of the sewer. I believe that an immediate investigation Is necessary and imperative if we intend to perform our duty as public servants and it should take place at once." Immediately after the reading of the letter Drenning made one of his typical addresses to the council and urged the council to commence action right away and not delay securing evi dence and filing suit. The mayor did not agree with Drenning on the ques tion of filing immediate suit. He thought the city should find out first how it would come out on its Fifth ward sewer suit. since both suits would be identical in the main, before jeopardizing the issues in the Sixth ward sewer matter. Drening insisted that he had suffi cient facts to show that crookedness existed in the Sixth ward sewer con struction and that he possessed one fact which clearly indicated It. "What is that?" asked the mayor or Drenning. We are not revealing that now. we don't want to reveal It until the proper time." It seems to me that the council should know what you have while the council has this matter under consideration." Well, all right then," agreed Dren ning. "It comes from a reliable source that McCabe demanded $800 from Ritchie while the Sixth ward sewer was beinir built. Ritchie refused and a big row occurred and King told him that he ought to pay the $800 because they had saved the contractors $4,000 on the sewer." "Well, wouldn't it be better to find out where you are first on the case that you have In hand before you try anything else," suggested the mayor to Drenning. Yes. but it may take two years De- fore this first case is decided." We had better wait two years then." I would like to Inquire as a matter of fact if It wasn't impossible to con struct the sewer as first planned?" asked Councilman Montgomery. I can't say as to that until levels have been run over the sewer, re sponded John Rogers, city engineer. The reason that 1 asK is Decause there Is not so much airrerence in some places as others. It looks as lr the first plans were not to be used at all." said Montgomery. The contractors maae uui ul it somewhere." interjected Drenning. Mr. Ritchie says ne lost a,uuu, said Mayor Green. "Yes. that's the same thing that was said in the Fifth ward." said Drenning. The residents in the two blocks bound ed by Tenth avenue and Eighth avenue, Lincoln and Buchanan streets seem to be the property owners who suffered more than anyone else, in changing the plans for the Sixth ward sewer. The sewer was planned originally to run down Buchanan street in the park ing. Later this was changed to Lincoln street because of complaints against building the sewer in the parking on Buchanan. The sewer could not be laid down in the center of the block because no alley extends through them two blocks, it having been laid out with the lots running clear through from one street to another. Lots however were sold extending only one-half of this dis tance. Most of the residents living in the two blocks were already con nected by private sewers to older sewer districts so that with the exception of probably but two residents in the entire two blocks none had any need for a sewer which was built on Lincoln street. However, they were assessed to pay for the cost of one and two-thirds blocks of sewer, eight Inch, which cost close tc $8,000. Some of i these assessments run over $700 down to a little above $100 per property owner: The assessments were illegal because half of Oiem could not have connected on to the sewer as con structed unless .they built a private line and others already had connected with a sewer in another district by building private lines. Judge C. E." Foote, one of these prop erty owners, addressed the council: "I am conversant with enough of this Sixth ward sewer which leads me to think that the contractors profited. I believe the mayor and council should go to the bottom of this. Somebody has robbed us, gentlemen. Somebody has robbed us and I would like to see him run down and see a picture of the gentleman. We stand right here to assist the council to ferret out the wrong, If there is wrong. Don't sleep on your rights, gentlemen. Don't delay. The city attorney is right. Get this while it is all fresh, while your witnesses have these things fresh In their minds and before the guilty par ties have a chance to get away." "If you had two cases exactly parallel, would you try both of them at the same time or would you wait and see how you came out on one of them?" asked the mayor. Judge Foote thought that he would push the one suit and see its conclusion before filing the second suit. Councilman Blakely offered a sugges tion: "We want an expert engineer for this work," said he. "There is no econ omy in getting a cheap man. Therefore let the. main matter be that a man be chosen who has a reputation and a character. There is some disposition to plan the sewers in a way that they were not to be built in order that the con tractors who were doing the building should profit. It seems to me to be a scandal and a disgrace that we should have these figures from the Sixth ward sewer. There must have been collusion to defraud between the city engineer and the contractors." 1h G rosDy J3ros. 13 Go.

The old saying that murder will out" came true in an unusual way last night when Police man Frank Walsh awakened a man who was asleep in a doorway of the Illinois hospital. Washington boule vard and Halstead street. The man, long a fugitive from Jus tice, opened his eyes, saw the police man's star and leaped to his feet with a shriek. "You want me for the murder; you are the police," he cried as he stood dazed before Walsh. A moment after ward he collected his wits and ran but the policeman drawing his revolver forced the man to stop and lea him to the station. At the station the prisoner admitted being a murderer, but later broke down and confessed that he is Charles F. Burbage, wanted in Greenleaf, S. C, with a man named W. P. T.

Burbage added that he had been a fugitive for two. years. He is held at the Des Plaines street station, and the authorities of Green leaf have been notified of the arrest.

County Superintendents Meet Today. of Kansas Creameries Will Contest Increase Cream Hates Everywhere. in It will be a fight to the finish be tween the railroads and express com panies and the big creamery concerns of the west over the proposed in crease in rates on cream shipments on passenger trains. Attorneys representing the Conti nental creamery of Topeka, the Beatrice creamery of Beatrice, Neb., with which the Continental is allied. and other big western creameries, are holding a conference In Chicago this week, and the result of this confer ence, it is expected, will be two-fold. First, the creameries will file a pro test with the interstate commerce commission against the proposed in- crase in interstate cream rates. Second, as an auxiliary proceeding. there will be an injunction suit brought in the federal courts at Chi cago for the purpose of stopping the introduction of the new rates pend ing the hearing by the interstate com merce commission. The fisrht will lso be carried into each state where the railroads are try- ing to Increase rates. It is the an nounced intention of the Rock Island, Frisco, Burlington and other lines to put the new cream rates into effect on Sept. 1. The Rock Island is said to have notified Its agents that the rates are to be applied on and after that date. If such an effort is made, injunction suits will be brought in each state where the new rates are applied, for the purpose of holding things in their present status until after the case has been heard by the state board of railroad commissioners. The Kansas commissioners will hear the case Sept. 24. The creamery companies are begin ning to realize that they are up against a serious proposition, and they are making preparations to fight the rail road companies to the limit. The creameries say that the proposed in crease in cream rates will put them out of business. $25 to California Oregon, Washington, via Union Pacific, every day, September 1 to October 81, 1907.

Plan to Supply Them in Contemplated. Mines Is New Tork, Aug. 28. The terrible acci dents which have occurred recently in the coal mines of Germany and Franco, according to advices received here, have drawn the attention of socialists, especialy in the former country, to the Introduction of methods of protecting the miners against the recurrence of such calamities or at least to diminish ing as far as possible the ensuing loss ot life. One measure contemplated is the construction of safety chambers shut off from the rest of the mine and protected against explosion. A conduit of com pressed air is introduced into the exca vated rooms and should .the conduit be destroyed, vessels or bottles fHled with oxygen stored in the chambers are in tended to supply the necessary air until a rescue can be effected. A logical ex tension of the plan is to the equipment of these chambers with a sufficient sup ply of water and condensed milk to sus tain life for a reasonable period of time in somewhat the same manner as life boats on vessels are equipped.

Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 28. Signs have been posted before Richard Can field's Saratoga club house and on his famous Italian Garden and park sur rounding the house announcing that the place is for sale. The news that this had occurred was the sensation of the season here. There were plenty of rumors to account for Mr. Can field's action, including an alleged dis agreement with the authorities for re stricting gambling. The Saratoga club as Canfield's place was called has been the show of the village for years. The club house rtself. a substantial nuiiamg of brick and stone, of three stories and sloping roof, was built in IS 69, by John Mor rissey of New York, an ex-congressman, gambler and prize fighter. Can field took charge of the place sixteen years ago, and has been sole pro prietor since. He has expended vast sums on the property, which takes in the entire block. The grounds are the handsomest and best kept in the vil lage. Because of the restrictions nlaced on gambling this season. Can- field's has been a rather dull place.
