EVERYBODY 10 PAGES READS IT. T i '''j EVERYBODY LAST EDITION. IIOCH ISjflLENT. Ilefuses to Talk About a Sp?cial Session. Senator Haskell Has Conference With ExecutiTe. SO DRASTIC ACTION. Thinks That Extra Session Is Sot Necessary. Railroad Board Has All the Necessary Power. Representative Archer Also Op posed to Calling Legislature. Governor Hoch had nothing to pay today about the special session of the legislature, which he is said to be about to call. However, the governor had a long1 conference with Senator W. H. Has kell, who is also warden of the peni tentiary, and took Senator Haskell out to the Governor's mansion for dinner. Senator Haskell thinks there is not the siishU-st need for a special ses sion, tie also makes the positive statement that there was no bargain between the senate and the railroad companies that the mileage book law should stand unmolested until the next session of the legislature. "It was distinctly the understanding of myself, and everyone else, I think," said Senator Haskell this morning, "that we wanted the question of pas senger fares referred to "the railroad commissioners for action. I voted for every law increasing the authority of th.- railroad commissioners, because I believe that such matters should be settled by that board. It has oppor tunities for investigation which the legislature does not have. It certainly was the expectation of the legislature that the board of railroad commis sioners would take up the question of passenger fares, and decide whether the 2-cent rate should be put into ef fect. "I am still of the opinion that this Is the business of the railroad com missioners, and I can not see in what way the state would gain by a special session of the legislature. The rail road commissioners have just the same authority to enforce their orders as the legislature has. We have to go Into the court to make our laws ef fective, and the railroad commission ers have to go into court to make their orders effective. Why not let the railroad commissioners fight this thing out with the railroads? What would be gained by a special session of the legislature, which would cost a -ast sum of money? "I have no opinion as to whether or not a 2-cent fare law could be passed at a special sersion. if one should be called." S. C. Crummer. former secretary of the Republican state central commit tee, is of the op!nion that if a special session is called, it will pass the 2-cent passenger fare bill without any strugr-

"Will it pass a primary election law?" was asked. "Oh. that's not likely to happen, said Mr. Crummer. "The- members -would probablv not care about staying here very long: the-v would not want to get mixed up In a long winded fight. )f course they might pick up one of the old primary laws and put It through, but It wouldn't be the Stubbs law. They might fix Op a compromise measure." W. E. Archer, representative ot Brown countv. who trained with the antl-Stubbs faction during the session of The house. Is in town today. He savs- "There is no use In a specia. seiffon.. It would cost 1100,000 or more and .would be of no material bcnefltjo Kannn.i A special session, If called, will fee purely a movement of political expediency. It Is not of financial necessity that the 2-cent fare law should be passed. Politics may demand a special session, but the members will not stana lor a. session. Everybody is too busy to waste time on a special session. The prlmarv election proposition would probably not be taken up at all at a special session." Thinks Simmons Would Hold Over. G F Grattan. attorney for the board of railroad commissioners, who has Seen looking the matter up think that John S. Simmons, speaker of the house would be authorized to preside ov"r a special session in spite of the fact that he has moved his residence from Lane county to Reno county Pin his election. The constitution of the state says on this question: "Xo cerson shall be a member of the legislat ure who is not at the time of his election a qualified ter of nd a resident in, the county or district for -which he is eleetea. It appears from tnm fierce of the member at the time of hli election determines his qualifica tions. The law i5. however that the house Is the Judge of the qualifications of its own members. Mr Grattan says: "It 1 my opinion that as long as Mr. Simmons is a resi dent of the state of Kansas, he can continue to act as a member of the house, even though he may have moved out of the county where he was elected." Attorney General F. S. Jackson gives It as his opinion that the resolu tion adopted at the last session of the legislature disbarring representatives of the Kansas City Star from the sen ate chamber would not apply to a special session. The resolution ap plied only to the current session, in spite of the fact that the same mem bers would be back for a special ses sion It is not likely that the senate would again attempt to disbar the Star correspondents. Mr. Grattan says that it is likely that the railroad companies will not file their formal notice of refusal to put in the 2-cent fare until Just be fore the expiration of the thirty day limit which is Oct. 5. In such a case. It is believed that Governor Hoch might await this formal action be fore calling a special session. Weather Indication. Chicago. Sept. 12. Forecast for Kansas Generally fair tonight and Friday: not much change In temperature. THURSDAY EVENING. IN A RACE RIOT. Negro Women Beat Up a School Teacher at Independence. independence. Kan.. Sept. 12. A race riot was narrowly averted at Lin coin school In the northwest part of the city last evening, where two negro men and three negro women attacked the white superintendent. Prof. Riggs. The superintendent was severely beat en by the negro women and required the attendance of a physician. The trouble started at the afternoon recess, when a young darky got into a fight on the plavrround with a white boy. Superintendent Riggs separated the fighters and supposed the trouble was over. Shortly before the dismissal of school the negroes appeared in a body and without warning attacked Prof. Riggs. He was knocked down hv th. npern women, who mtHpH clubs, and would probably have been seriously injured but for the interfer ence of the white pupils. The trouble is allesred to have been started by the rough element of the negro population in the district of the Lincoln school. Superintendent Riggs stated last night that the trouble had not been settled and that there was likely to bo a further conflict between the whites and blacks. There is much feeling in Independence over the incident and a growing sentiment for the separation of white and negro children In the public schools. Arrests will probably be made, the authorities say. THEY GOME HIGH. Cost of Maintaining State In stitutions on Increase. Nearly $20,000 More in Past Six Months. It cost the state $18,375.99 more to operate the nine charitable institu tions of Kansas for the first six months of 1907 than it did for the first six months of 1906. This increase Is due to two causes, according to the board of control re ports. One cause is the general in crease of population at the charitable Institutions, and the other Is the fact that $12,478.79 more was spent in re pairs during the first half of 1907 than during the first half of 1906. The total repair items for the stated per iod In 1906 was J16.850.35, and for 1907 It was J29.329.14. The cost of supplying the state In stitutions with groceries for the first half of the year increased $6,000 over the corresponding period In 1906. The biggest increase was in butterine, meats and sugar. Breadstuffs, milk, eggs, vegetables and a few other Items show a decrease. The following table shows the amount expended at each institution, compared with the corresponding per iod of 1906: Jan.-June 1907. $81,521.12 96.520.70 37,142.68 29.669.33 24,931.91 13,183.35 18,446.52 21,156.81 18,587.29 Jan.-June 1906. $75,662.91 92.040.41 34.357.40 26.090.20 5,028.48 12.270.62 17,469.93 22.437.97 14.425.S0 $118,271.83 204,511.83 Topeka hospital.., Osawatomie hosp Parsons hosp Winfleld hosp Deaf school Blind school Orphans' home Boys' school Girls' school Grand totals: Salaries Wages.. $116,911.98 Maintenance and repairs 211,907.33 Taxes expended 12,340.40 Total expended. ..$341,159.71 $322,788.72 The cost of buying groceries for these institutions is shown by the reports to be as follows: Jan.June.

International Theatrical Trust About Ready for Launching. Chicago. Sept. 12. Launching of the international threatrical trust is said to be assured. Levy Mayer, gen eral counsel for the Klaw and Erlanger combination, who yesterday recurned from Europe, na'id: "I have made to Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger a leeal report of all the steps that have been taken and it is for them to make public to what extent their project has been accomplished. The legal questions involved have been dis posed of." The purpose of the international theatrical trust is not to control vaude ville houses, as has been stated: it is aimed at the higher attractions and may even Include opera. The company is said to be prepared to expend any where from $100,000,000 to $300,000, 000 providing complete control can be secured. The combine now controls nearly 500 theaters in America and with a like number In Europe will be abso lute dictator of things theatrical throughout the civilized world. Indian Summer Weather. The Derby Day weather which has prevailed since the opening of the race meet continues and if anything, the showing today is the best of the assort ment so far offered. There has been no precipitation in any part of the state during the past 24 hours and every -wehe fair weather with low tempera tures has prevailed. A continuation of the most excellent weather which has prevailed for the past three or four days Is promised for the remainder of the week. The story of the temperatures of the day reads as follows: 7 o'clock 60 11 o'clock 76 8 o'clock 64 9 -.o'clock 69 10 'o'clock., t 73 12 o'clock 79 1 o'clock 81 2 o'clock... S3 FOOL AND A GUN. The Combination Causes the Death of a Young Woman. Kansas City Girl Shot by Her Fianca in Denyer. POINTED THE PISTOL. And Told His Sweetheart to Throw Up Her Hands. She Did Not Do It and He Pulled the Trigger. Denver, Col.. Sept. 12. Miss Edna Calloway, 19 years old, of Kansas City, Mo., was accidentally killed last night by W. Lyle Alderson. also of Kansas City, to whom she was engaged to be married. Her death was due to the firing of an automatic revolver held in the hand of Alderson and with the working of which he was unfamiliar. Alderson arrived in the city yes terday with hU mother. Mrs. D. P. Alderson, to visit the latter's sister whom Miss Calloway had been visit ing for the past three weeks. A party of friends had assembled and in play young Alderson pointed the revolver irom which he had removed the magazine at his fiance, commonding her to hold up her hands. With a laugh she defied him and he pulled the trigger. A cartridge still remained in the barrel of the revolver. It was exploded. The bullet entered the left breast and she fell into the arms of young Alderson's mother. His Father Cried When Told. Kansas City. Sept. 12. D. P. Aider son, father of Lyle Alderson, who acci dentally shot and killed Miss Edna Caloway, is a member of the firm of Bradley Anderson, large Implement dealers of this city. When told about the shooting Mr. Alderson completely lost control of himself and sobbed. "This will kill the boy's mother," said he. Miss Caloway is the daughter of Robert Stone, of the Stone Manufactur ing company. Both families are highly connected here. MUST ELECT BURTON. Taft Says the Cleveland Contest Is of Great Importance. Seattle, Wash., Sept. 12. In an in terview printed here today Secretary Taft says concerning the contest for mayor of Cleveland: "There can be no doubt that Mr. Burton's election is of real im portance to the city and the state of Ohio. This contest can not bo viewed with Indifference by the Re publican party at large. The con tinuance of a strongly intrenched ad verse organization in the largest city in one of the leading states of the Union should be prevented. It is of the highest importance to the state organization and certainly the Repub lican party at large cannot help but view the situation with concern. "Has the endorsement of Repre sentative Burton's candidacy any rela tion to the election of a successor to United States Senator Foraker?" "Oh. no: it does not relate to that at all." "What do you think of Mayor Johnson as a public man?" "Well, I do not care to be quoted on that question. I think I have said as much as I ought to say on the sub ject." BESANT IN CHICAGO. World President of Theosophlsts Will Deliver Four Lectures. Chicago, Sept. 12. Mrs. Annie Besant, of Adyar, India, successor to the late Col. Henry Steele Olcott, as world pres ident of the theosophlcal society, arriv ed in Chicago last night from New Tork to attend the twenty-first annual convention of the American section of that organization which opens Sunday. Mrs. Besant was accompanied by Mrs. Marie Bernard Russak. one of her pu pils and A. P. Warrington of Norfolk, Va a lawyer, writer and leading the osophist. Mrs. Besant's attention was called to a report that one of the things that will be done during the con vention is to expel certain members of the society who have expressed beliefs at variance with her teachings. "That is untrue." she said. "I wish to correct that. There is nothing to expel any one for. We do not dictate what our members shall think or say. I intend to take that subject up in one of my lectures. In fact. I sent the manuscript over ahead of me. We cannot afford to be narrow and petty. We are setting a high Ideal, and we must keep it ourselves." Mrs. Besant will deliver four lectures in Chicago. She will go east early next week and sail for Europe October 1. She will attend the international con vention of the society in India at Christmas time. ON MEAT INSPECTION. Government Official Addresses the Veterinarians Meeting. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 12. Before the annual convention of the American Veterinary association here today, John R. Mohler, of the bureau of animal in dustry at Washington, delivered an ad dress on meat inspection. Dr. S. N. Gulletand of Marietta, Pa., in a paper describing the effect of a test for tuberculosis on the lacta tion of milk cows, said that in a ser ies of experiments on 658 cows that none of the healthy animals showed any decerase in the amount of milk they produced. Animals that were-affected with tuberculosis showed a decrease in the amount of milk as soon as the tests were begun. He said there should be no fear on the part of dairymen to have their cattle tested for this dis ease because only th affected cattte would produce less milk because of the TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER CRASH IMPENDING A Crisis in the Affairs of the Rapid Transit Of Philadelphia Is Believed to Be Near at Hand. BREAK OF 4 DOLLARS. The Stock Reaches the Lowest Point on Record. The City Stands for a Share in the Trouble. Philadelphia. Sept. 12, The belief is general that crisis is at hand in the affairs of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, which controls the street railway, facilities of ..this city. For some time ther has been a steady decline in the price of shares on the local stock exchange, culminating in a sudden break of $1 a share from 22.50 to 19.50. On Tuesday the stock hung around 20, but today there was a further break of $4 a share to the lowest price on record. This was ac companied by rumors that the com pany can not meet its fixed charges and that therefore a receivership will be necessary. The stock of the Union Traction company w hich preceded the Philadel phia Rapid Transit company in the control of the street railway system of this city and the dividends of which are guaranteed by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit broke on heavy selling from 51 to 44. There was heavy selling of Philadelphia Rapid Transit all the way from 20 to 15 1-5. The company is the. outgrowth of a curious consolidation and expansions of the past few years, each consolidation involving increased guarantees of divi dend payments on- the stock of under lying companies. There are 600,000 shares of Philadelphia Rapid Transit stock outstanding s on which $42.50 a share has been paid. Another assess ment of $7.50 is due within a few months and then the stock will be full paid. The present company Is organized upon gigantic improvements, involving the construction of extensive elevated and subway lines to cost many millions, and thi3 work has beea a drain upon its re sources. The past year showed a fall ing off In the earnings and there has been a public outcry against attempts to increas the income by readjusting rates of fare. The financial status and dealings of the company have been surrounded with much mystery by those In control, and this has helped to weaken the confi dence of stockholders. Recently the company succeeds? in entering into an agrement whereby the city became a partner in the operation of the lin Now an attempt Is being made to upset this agreement on the ground- that it is unconstitutional. The claim is made that the city was cheated and that the effect of the partnership is to saddle upon it street paving expenses of more than $500,000 annually. DIED AT AGE OF 99. Mrs. Mary Ooffman. Grandmother of Mrs. W. T. Crosby. Passes Away. Mrs. Mary Coffman, 99 years old, died last night at ten o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kleinhans, at Grant -ville. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock from the house. The burial will be in the Grantville cemetery. Mrs. Coffman Is the grandmother of Mrs. W. T. Crosby and Mr. John Klein hans of this city. ALL ABOUT A POSTMASTER. The President Has Started a Political Row In California. San Francisco, Sept. 12. The dis patch from Oyster Bay announcing the appointment by the president of Clarence S. Merrill to be postmaster at Berkeley provoked much comment in political circles here and in the counties about the bay, signalizing as It did the turning down of Congress man Know-land, and Senator Perkins by the president and the upholding of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the University of California. Wild speculation is indulged in as to the possible effect Mr. Roosevelt's action will have upon the coming congres sional and presidential campaign in California. Of itself a matter of small im portance, the postmastership at Berkeley was aspired to by Charles Thomas, supported by Congressman Knowland. Senator Perkins and the "regular" Republican organization generally, and his name was submit ted to the president by Mr. Knowland in accordance with the traditional right of distributing political patron age. On the score that Mr. Thomas was not competent to fill the position. President Wheeler opposed his ap pointment and submitted In lieu the name of Merrill, backed by a Berkeley "citizens' committee" and the en dorsement of Francis J. Heney. Both Thomas and Merrill, oddly enough, are graduates of the University of California. HE FOUNDED VAMPIRE CLUB. John M. Turner, the Trick Banjo Player, Is Iead. New- Tork, Sept. 12.

ON TOJJTTAWA. Vancouver Has a Plan to Settle the Oriental Question. Raising a Fund to Ship Hindus to the Capital. AFRAID TO LAND THEM Captain of the Steamer Warned of Trouble. Is He Lands Japanese Passengers at Victoria. Vancouver, B. C'ept. 12. With a subscription list started yesterday headed by Mayor Bethune, with a purse of $100 and which has grown to $1,500, Vancouver citizens will charter a train and placing at least 800 Hindus who ar rived In this city yesterday by steamer Monteagle on board, .will ship the East Indians bag and baggage to Ottawa, the seat of the federal government- This Is the plan evolved and which is to be carried into effect today providing the necessary amount can be raised. Afraid to Land Them. Seattle, Sept. 12. On board the Mont eagle were hundreds of Chinese, Jap anese and Hindus. The Hindus formed the greatest part of the human cargo and the plan to ship them to Ottawa with the compliments of Vancouver is an outcome of the recent oriental dis turbances, i The steamship company, fearing trou ble, landed nearly all the Japanese at Victoria. At Vancouver the dock was roped off for two blocks and heavily guarded by company employes and po lice. Last night an atempt was made to land the Hindus. An immense crowd had gathered and the officials were afraid to let the Hindus face the crowd alone. They were returned to the ship, with the announcement that they would stay there until today. The white labor union yesterday served thirty days' notice on employers of orientals to re place foreigners with white labor. A refusal is to be met with strikes and boycotts. Captain W as Warned. Ottawa. Ont-, Sept. 12. Advices from Vancouver state that the mayor of Vancouver has warned the captain of the steamer Monteagle which has on board 114 Japanese, 149 Chinese and 941 Hindus, destined for this port, that he would be unable to guarantee a landing there because the unionists have ex pressed their determination to resist the immigration of any more Asiatic labot ers. The steamship authorities feared to assume the risk and the vessel has been turned back to Victoria, where the Asiatics will be landed. Vancouver ia reported as being comparatively quiet, but an outrage by two Chinamen yes terday has again inflamed tne people. The Mongolians while passing along one of the main streets saw a white baby sitting on a door step. They snatch ed it up and threw it into tne middle of the street which was busy with traffic. It fell among the horses' feet and nar rowly escaped death. Beyond being bruised it was not much the worse. An angry crowd started in pursuit. The Chinese had a good start and escap ed. The fact that no arrests have been made is not tending to allay the temper of the people. The city council prohibited a wrest ling matph which was to have taken place last night between a white man and a Japanese. The entire Japanese colony had bought tickets for the en counter and trouble was threatened. ARMY WORM'S RAVAGES Reported That Alfalfa Fields Are Heine Damaged. The army worm, which is reputed to be eating up all the alfalfa in central Kansas, does not discourage F. D. Co burn of the state board of agriculture in the leaEt. He issued a bulletin today telling all about the wonders of the alfalfa crop. He summarizes the pres ent conditions of the alfalfa fields of the state with respect to acreage and finds that the total Kansas field of alfalfa is 750.000 acres. The following Is from the bulletin: The increase In its area in Kansas affords some, although no adequate Idea of the growing appreciation !n which the plant Is held. It is sixteen years since the crop was first thought of enough importance to chronicle its sta tistics, when the enumerators or tne board of agriculture returned the area for the state as 34,384 acres. This year (1907) the area in alfalfa Is 742,140 acres, or an increase of 20-7 per cent over the area of 1906. 132 per cent more than In 1S01, and a gain of 2,058 per cent over the area of 189L- Alfalfa can be grown In every county In the state, and 103 of the 105 counties report greater or less areas devoted to it in 1907. Of the 103, ninety-two counties snow Increases ag gregating 130,869 acres, while 11 report decreases aggregating 3,542 acres, mak ing a net gain for the year of 127,327 acres. Jewell, a central county border ing Nebraska, has nearly 49,000 acres in alfalfa, by far the largest acreage for any one county; Smith, its neighbor on the west, ranks second, with 30,939 acres, and Butler, south and east of these, comes third with 30,355 acres. Other counties having over 20.000 acres each are Cloud, Mitchell, Phillips. Re public, all north central counties, and Sedgwick, adjoining Butler. The larg est gains in area in the year are like wise reported by Jewell and Smith, or 7,027 and 6.258 acres respectively, fol lowed by Mitchell with an increase of 5.451 acres. Washington with 4.991 acres, Wabaunsee 4,988 acres, Sedgwick 4,613 acres and Republic 4,029 acres. Kansas, situated as sha is, border ing the Missouri river on the east and extending 400 miles westward toward the Rocky mountains, presents a wide variety in soils and other conditions, but alfalfa is al: the way successfully grown, thus demonstrating its gen eral adaptability. The farmers of practically all portions are annually sowing enlarged! areas, as Is indicated by the county statistics. For exam ple, of the more western counties. Wichita and Stevens, in the second tier from Colorado, report gains in area in the past year of 576 per cent and 633 per cent respectively, Clark has increased its area 112 per cent. Pratt 104 per cent, Stafford 142 per cent, and Rush 95 per cent; of the THURSDAY EVENING. eastern counties may be mentioned Leavenworth, on the Missouri river, which enlarged its area 158 per cent in the past year;- Johnson gained 178 per cent. Bourbon 241 per cent; over 100 per' cent was gained in Brown, and 98 per cent In Jackson. In 1891 there were nine counties having 1,000 or more acres; this year there are 81;. in 1891 there was one county, Finney,, having over 5,000 acres; now there are 4 4 such coun ties, twenty-nine of which have 10, OO'i acres and upwards. In Kansas alfalfa growing was a prelude to prosperity, and is the steadfast promoter of her progress. From comparative obscurity it has steadily risen to the foremost rank of. the hay plants, and has already re sulted in quadrupling the state's out put of tame hay. In 1890 the value of the tame hay crop was two million dollars, while that of 1905 was worth ov-r 10 million dollars. The an nual value of products of live stock in that time has been practically doubled, and alfalfa has made of Kan sas, if not first, one or tne loremost states in dairying a most desirable branch of husbandry that intelligently New Tork, Sept. 12.

OPERATION ON EMMETT D ALTON Must Re-enter the Hospital for" An other Trial to Save Arm. Emmett Dalton Is not through with his troubles. He will have to go back to the hospital for a second operation on his Injured arm. As the doctors feared from the outset, one operation failed to eliminate the diseased condi ditlon. It is hoped that another operation will save the arm. The operation will be performed within a few days at Bethesda hospital. The Injury to Dalton's arm is 16 years old. It was caused by a bullet, which shattered the bone In the upper arm. The wound was not properly dressed at the outset, and never healed. There Is now danger that the arm will have to be amputated. Mr. Dalton has been working for about ten days at the Copeland hotel as night clerk but will have to give up. his positlo" TWO CENTS FALLIIOEIIIilD. The Lusitania Is Not Making So Good Time. Appears to HaTe Been Hamper ed by the Fog. WILL BREAK RECORD. But Not by So Much as at First Expected. Indications That She Will Make It in Fi?e Days. Lusitiana s voyage, according to wlre j less dispatches, is the extraordinary Im munity from seasickness enjoyed by the passengers. The sea has been quito rough the past day or two, but accord ing to the ship's doctor there were only' twenty mild cases of sickness among the 6.000 persons on the great vessel. The marvelous smoothness of sailing. It is stated, astonished every one, and ic would be almost possible to play bil liards on board. The interest in the advent, of the Lusitania is indicated by the great number of messages that are being sent to and from the big steamer. At the offices of the Marconi wireless telegrap'i company here it was said that the amount of business offered surpassed all previous figures for a single ship. The Marconi people expected to pick up the steamer again off Nantucket late this afternoon. If fair weather prevails Friday the incoming of the Lusitania will be the occasion of the greatest marine ovation ever given to any steamship. There will be a fleet of boats of all sizes off Sandy Hook, which, with the steam pilot boats will be the first to give the liner a welcome. Off The Narrows a large crowd of excursionists on the iron steamship Sirius will see the steamship i come up the new Ambrose channel and follow her to the pier. They are friends i ano relatives of -the thousand or more i cabin passengers on the ship and will be out to cheer the ship and the re- turning voyagers By arrangement, set CARRIED HOT SHELLS. How tlie Illue Jackets of the Indiana Saved the Ship. Washington, Sept. 12. Carrying 13-inch shells so hot that the paint on the vessel was scorched and the hands of the men blistered, the eight blue jackets of the crew of the battle ship Indiana, led by Lieutenant Com mander Sttcht. saved tha great ship with all on board from destruction during a fire in her coal bunkers, ad jacent to the magazines containing ammunition for the 13-inch guns. The navv department made public only today thj facts concerning the eud on "i Cni.mhpr 1 at Le bwh JrV the In undergoing pa.nTand which occurred on tne morning League Island diana Is now undergoing repairs, and in doing so commended the courage exhibited by both officers and erev. No damage resulted from the fire, which was caused by spontaneous combusion of coal. The work of re moving the ammunition from the ad jacent 13-inch and 6-inch guns was. according to the report, proceeded with quietly. The two magazines and the shell rooms became dangerously heated, and were flooded to a depth of twenty Inches. Lieutenant Commander Stlcht di rected the fire party. consisting of Gunner L. C Hull and eight men. who entered the magazines and removed the ammunition. The six boxes near est the bulkhead were so hot as to be handled with difficulty. while the bulkheads and thirteen-inch shells were so hot that they burned the hands and blistered the paint. The coal on fire was flooded and removed The hunkers and I the bulkheads and shell were sprayed wun water until the temperature dropped to nor mal. The following, who first entered the magazines, were recommended for braverv by the commanding officer: C W Leisegand. E. Rowe, C. Bar tunlck. "j. L. Gratton. H. A. Llnder man. E. J. Cross, C. Sheppard and L. Oster. Philadelphia, Sept. 12. The In diana aboard which a fire occurred last Thursday, Is lying "In ordinary" at one of the docks with plenty of fire protection about her.

MURPHY BESTED HTLAXB. The New York Lad Superior in the Six Round Bout at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Sept. 12. Tommy Murphy of New York had the advan tage over Dick Hyland of California in a six round bout before the National Athletic club lost night. In only one round, the second, did Hyland have an advantage over the New York boy. The fight was fast from beginning to end but Murphy's blows were cleaner. Hyland resorted to infighting, but he found his match in the sturdy New Yorker, and was repeatedly forced to break ground. AMERICAN LEAGUE GOSSIP. Wallace has scored, but 2 runs since August 14. Niles has made far more hits than h has played games. He has been in 78 games and made 104 hits. St. Louis cracked out their 1.000th hit the last day of August. Hoffman, Williams. Lanortn nnrl Chase are the New York players who nave maae iw nits this season, with Conroy at the 99 post. Looks funny to see Willie Keeler bat ting below .250, the first time this bril liant player has ever been so low in the batting table. Elberfeld made 100 hits in 93 games. Jimmie Williams has made 108 hits in 110 games. He has but one home run. Laporte made his 100th hit on August when he cracked out a double nnd triple, with a single thrown in for good measure. For a bunch of hitters that New York claims to have they do not make many long hits, as they have but 48 triples and an even dozen home runs in 118 games. Clymer, who is leading the league, has made 67 hits in 40 games. Jim Delehanty seems to have found his right position at last. Second base just suits him In that throw; while he has been hitting better since he began to play that bag- Charley Jones averages Just a hit a game as he has 90 in the same number of games. Young Milan, the Senators' young outfielder, has cracked out 14 hits in 10 games, among them a double and three triples. Washington leads the league in stolen bases with 165. Topsy Hartsell has made 99 hits In 168 games. Harry Davis still leads the league in home runs with seven, but he has not added a homer to his string since Au gust 5. Jimmy Collins has certainly added strength to the Athletic batting for ha has made 71 hits in 69 games since join ing the team. Nichols for a youngster has proven a find. He is an adept at laying the ball down as his 25 sacrifice hits prove. Oldring has made 87 hits in 83 games, while Lord, whose place Oldring took, has been able to make but 27 in 48 games. The Athletics lead the league in dou bles ar.d home runs, but are way down in triples, having but 35 in 116 games. Dan Sullivan has surprised many who thought he would not hit in the league as he has made 110 hits up to data. GallUea, cf. I 0 8 0' 0 out by Lincoln hereJ T.,. Z 51 i.

A long lump to Oklahoma City and back, then, a series on the home grounds with Joplin an3 the team Is off again to Wichita to close the season. Formerly It was the custom for the champion team of the league to have the privilege of opening and closing-the season at Home, Dut tnis season seems to be an exception to the rule and the local bunch must travel about a thousand miles and then close the season away from home. Wichita and Omaha, the champions of the Western Association and West. em League for this season, have ar ranged a series of eight post season games between the two teams after the close of the present season. The first four games will be played In Omaha and the last four In Wichita. When another baseball .season corn mences, the Wichita team is not like ly to be left at the start. With the men under contract at the present time for next season Wichita promises to have a great team and one which will be nearly the equal of the one of this season. JNearly every man on the team at the present time will remain until next season. The, sale of the four play ers. Hetling, Weaver, Dick and Speer to Chicago White Sox is merely another execution or tne old cover up ruse ana It is not making a wild assertion to say that every one of the quartette will be back next season. The only -members of this year's team who will not be back are Milan, wno is already piay ine with Washington, Young and Be.cker who have been sold t6 Pittsburg, The team will not be short on pitchers, notwithstanding the fact that Young will not be back. Dick and Speer will both be better men next season than this season and will make the losa of Young one not to be felt. Clark, who is fresh from the amateurs will be a good nitrher next season and in fact he has put up some creditable exhibitions this Season. Anuinci yuuiigeier, dwiiiubii, is now. with he team and will work out durine the closing games or tne sea. son and It is likely that he will make good. Then there Is Frank Isbeil, the new manager of the team, who is one of the best second basemen In the country.

Thirty-One Excursionists Take an Eastern Coast Jaunt. nearly 527,000 Detoted to Sight Seeing by Emporians. Emporia. Kan.. Sept. 1. The Ga zette says: Seven thousand dollars seems large sum to be expended for railroad fare by pleasure seekers during three months by the people of a town of 10,000 Inhabitants, but the people of Emporia f pent that amount in railroad fares to Colorado alor.e during the summer months. This is a sign th.it Emporia and its neighborhood have prospered during: the past year, for a trip to Colorado Is to most people a luxury, and not a necessity. J. 51. Green. Emporia agent for the e-anta fe. savs that his company's i.omraao ousmess rrom June to Sep tember Jias been 35 per cent better than for several years and that traval over the western states is more exten sive than It has ever been. The number of tickets to Colorado points soldduring the summer months has been: June. 65: July. 120; Aueust. 160: September, estimated at 50. and will probably exceed that number. The points to which the largrer number of tickets were made out are Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and the average sum paid was JIT. Three hundred and ninetv-flve. the total number of tickets soid. multiplied by $17. makes a total of $6,912.50 spent for railroad fare. The buying of a ticket is usual ly the smallest consideration in mak ing a pleasure trip, as a much larger sum is expended in incidentals and expense of hotels. The average length of time spent by Emporia peo ple in Colorado was three weeks, so that their expenses above railroad fare, figured at about $2 per day, were J 16.590, increasing the amount sper.t by Emporians in Colorado trips to J23.502.50. Mrs. Corbett's Jamestown excursion which was made up of thirty-one Em poria people, cost each person in the party J 9 8. This Includad every ex pense from the start at the station here until the party arrived at home. It was aj well planned excursion and was arranged for completely before tha excursion started, saving a consider- I able sum of money for these who join ed the partv. The total cost of this trip was J3.018. This, added to the JJ3.502.50 expended by Emporians on Colorado travel, makes J26.520.50. This is by no means all of the money spent In tra'el for pleasure by th people of this town, as numbers of people went to the Jamestown exposi tion besides those in Mrs. Corbett's partv. and numerous tickets were sold to Salt Lake City. Seattle and points on the Pacific coast. A few Emporia people took trips to Europe. A con ductor on a westbound train was heard to say the other dav.

A AVAIL FROM MEXICO. Railroads There Are Threatened With Great Car Shortage. Monterey, Mex., Sept. 12. According to Mexican railway officials' the rail roads in Mexico have the prospect of a very serious car shortage to contend with in the course of the next 30 to 60 days, and even now railroads in the re public find it very difficult to secure freight cars sufficient to handle the tonnage which the respectiVa lines are receiving. This shortage is Sue party to the fact that many railroads in the United States that are handling loaded freight cars out of Mexico, after un loading the Mexican cars, send them out on their own lines to relieve the shortage there; but the prime cause of tee threatened shortage is the fact that the industrial interests- of Mexico are developing faster than the railroads can have cars built and sent here to haul the increased tonnage. At the present time the Mexican Cen tral is using every car it can possibly spare to haul zinc ore to the. United States smelters, and it is stated that these shipments will have to be cur tailed If not stopped altogether in about 30 days in order to provide for the or ange crops of the states of Jalisco, Guanajuta. Colima. Michoacan a. id other parts of that territory, which will be ready for marketing by that time. The National will also be compelled to divert many of its cars from other channels to that section to move crops along its line. Orders are now bein Issued by both systems to have ail available cars started for the fruit dis tricts in time to handle the crop. The Mexican Central now has orders placed in the United States for 500 freight cars, in addinon to those re ceived, and the National has an equal number ordered, but owing to the rush orders in the car manufacturing plants in the United States it is very doubtful that the Mexican railroads will receive roadssa number of suggestions regard ing these rates and have asked them to express their views as to which of these suggestions would be the best to adopt at a second meeting of the com mittees, to be held here September 20. One ef the suggestions submitted is that no homeseekers fares be authorized to points In which 2-cent laws are in op eration, but to other territory a rate of one fare plus J2 for the round trip be made. It is further suggested that one way colonist rates be abolished entire- 1000 STICKNEY XOT WORRIED. Great Western's President Says For eigners Hare Faith in Securities. St. Paul, Sept. 12. President A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western road has returned from Europe. Unlike some other railroad men he is not wor ried because Wall street has had to sell a few of its automobiles. "I think the worst of the trouble Is over," Mr. Stickney said yesterday. "Some things that have happened may be announced later; that Is, some con cerns that have got into difficulties may have to suspend some eastern con cerns, I mean. But I do not expect ths trouble to spread to the west or grow more serious in the east. Most of the foreigners have not lost any of their faith in American Investments. They think it is simply a Yankee antic to put stocks up and knock thfm down again. It has often happened before and the foreigners are used to it. It does not shake their confidence in our securi ties." LEADS SIMPLE LIFE. Grover Cleveland In His Home Plain Country Gentleman., INCUBATOR BABY CASE.

Postpones Hearing on Grain Rates Until the Courts Act. Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 12. The sta'e railway commission has agreed to post pone indefinitely the further hearing of WESTERN' MAIL SCHEDULE. Plans Beinjr Discussed for the Length ening of Them. Chicago, Sept. 12 Several conferences have been held between operating offi cials of the Burlington and the North eastern railroads the result of which makes it almost certain that there will soon be another lengthening of the time of the fast mail trains between Chicago, Omaha and the west. The rumor that a material Increase in tha running time between the two cities Is in contemplation is strengthened by the fact that the officials of one of these roads asked the officials of the Rock Island if the latter company would put a new mall train in service if the time of existing mail trains was lengthener. It is understood that the Rock Island officials stated that they had had enough of trying to give them they did not purpose spending another $75,000 in trying to wrest mall contracts from the grasp of the Burlington. In fact. the Rock Island officials do not care whether Omaha ever gets any mail, o far as the government side of the con troversy is concerned. The people of Omaha, in the mean time are up in arms over the present service and the newspapers of that city are bewailing the fact that the government did not accept the Rock Island's new train recently put on and recently taken oft", when the Burlington agreed to, "in all respects meet the proposals of the Rock Island both as to service and cost, ir tne uumngton and the Northwestern reach an agree ment with respect to the mail service, the people of Omaha will lose an entire business dey as compared with the ser vice furinshed formerly by the Rock Island. HOMESEEKERS' RATES. May Not Be Granted to Territory Where Two-Cent Fare Prevails. Committees of the Southwestern Pas senger Bureau and the Western and Transcontinental Passenger associations have been in conference regarding the policy which should be pursued after January 1 next in regard to homeseek ers' excursion and one-way colonist rates. They have submitted to the The barber under the First Nation al building, who shaved me upon my arrival here, fell to talking In a free and easy manner about his fellow townsman, Grover Cleveland. "We don't sae much of Grover around here." said the tonsorial artist. "He has a law office up in Boston and he is there practicing law nearly all the time. Looks like pretty much of a come-down for an ex-president of the United States to be drummin' up a law business, but Grover knows all the law there is in the United States and then some, and if he wants to swell his corpulent fortune that way I reckon it's nobody's business but his own." This veracious tale about what Mr. Cleveland is doing is about on a par with hundreds of other stories that one hears from the town gossips of Princeton. Aside from a few of the ex President's intimate friends, who are chiefly dignitaries of the University circle, the people here know as little concerning his personal affairs as do the people of Indianapolis. They get most of their information about Mr. Cleveland and his doings from metro politan newspapers, and then guess the rest. The ex-President Is a rich man how rich nobody knows. It is stated by everybody to whom I talked here that he is a millionaire at least, and by some his wealth was estimated as high as $3,000,000. He has no hold ings here except his residence property, but he has extensive real estate in vestments in New Tork and Buffalo. The principal part of his fortune, how ever, is in stocks. He is supposed to have friends in New Tork who are in 'a position to pick judicious in vestments and who look after his in terests. The ex-President Is hot In the business of shearing Iambs, and he will have nothinsr to do with specula tive transactions that are the least bit shady, but whenever there is money to be made by legitimate investments in stocks he is not averse to taking a hand. Mr. Cleveland was a farmer, just for a little while, but he soon found that farming was not his long suit. A few years ago he bought a farm of 100 acres east of Princeton, thinking that he would keep some cows and get his family supply of dairy pro ducts at first hand. It was a losing proposition from the start. As was to be expected, everybody imposed on him. In the hrst place, not Demg a good judge of soil, he bought a farm that was cold and wet and of small value although he paid a round price for it Mr. Cleveland soon discovered that he could not afford to be a farmer. 00 N for Life Per Year If you are in c-ood health, annrnrimntfllw this amount, or a larger or smaller sum can be assured to you by a contract giving you and your wife a life income, beginning at end of stipulated period and continuing as long as etiher shall live, or giving your wife a life in come beginning immediately if you die.

The State Journal !s a member of th Associated Press and receives the full aa telorraph rervort of that arrest ranlaation for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The new Is received In The Plate Jour nal building- over wire for tliia sole pur pose. Once- more Gans has proved "equality" of the colored race. the The Bear appears to have run In the Kansas Derby as though T. R. was after him with a "Winchester. From the polls that have been taken it is hard to figure a second choice In Karsas in the presidential race. In fact. Kansas has no seron'1 choice. The first football accident of the sea Bon has already been recorded, but It Is feared that it will not be the last. The Fairbanks machine in Indiana has a hard time makina; people believe there is no Taft sentiment in that state. The wages of private soldiers in the regular army are extremely low. but ne never hears of soldiers going on a etrlke- Japan is paying little attention to the Vancouver incident. It prohably thinks the affair was only a little pleasantry on the part of the Canucks. The railroads may argue that a two cent fare is not remunerative because they have to spend so much money paying lawyers to light it. Colliers Weekly asks for $750,000 damages from C. W. Post, but really, ought not Collier's to pay Mr. Post something for the advertising he gave it? Another evidence of prosperity in the west is that western bonds are remain ing at home. Topeka, for instance, does not tare to ask outside aid in handling Its bonds. The editors of Collier's Weekly have been the defendants in a libel suit a few times themselves, but now they will find out how it seems to be the plaintiffs. There is no better investment than Kansas real estate. While there may he watered stock on Kansas farms, it is not the Wail Street variety and its value will not shrink. The anthracite coal trust has put up the price again, but it will hardly argue this time that It was promised immun ity In the piesidential campaign when Roosevelt was elected. Secretary- Taft will visit Japan on his trip around the world. When the Japs note the size of the secretary of war their jingoes may not be quite so brash about inciting hmi to whip them. "Three-fourths of the Republicans of Kansas are in favor of Secretary Taft as the next presidential candidate," Senator Curtis told Washington the ether day. Why did Senator Curtis place the figure so low? The Pennsylvania coal trust has its ystem down fine. During the summer it phut down several mines because too much coal was being stored. Now It has raised the price because of the prospective coal famine. The New Tork World "exposes" corporation contributions to the Re publican national campaign fund in 1904. The impression continues to grow that there will be no corporation campaign contributions next year, however. Being a newspaper reporter is a hazardous occupation. At Wichita one was mistaken for a city official and a "woman tried to horsewhip him. A newspaper man has to carry enough blame of his own without shouldering that belonging to public officers. The Bear, who won the Kansas Derby Tuesday, once sold for flftydollars. Last spring his present owner paid $1,700 for him and has sines refused $2,000. Since his accomplishment on Tuesday his price has gone to $5,000. The Bear ap pears to be no bear on the horse mar ket. The last time Theodore E. Burton ran for congress in Cleveland the Democrats put up no opponent against him, so great is his popularity. Tom Johnson has had a mortgage on the mayor's chair in the Cleveland city hail so long, however, that It will be no easy task, even for Mr. Burton, to pry him loose from it. In the mayoralty contest between Tom Johnson and Congressman Burton in Cleveland, It would be interesting to know where the street car companies come in. Tom Johnson has been fight ing them for rears, and Burton accept ed the Republican nomination only with the distinct understanding that no cor poration strings are attached to it In any way. The Cleveland traction com panies are in the same position Wall Street would be in a presidential con test between Taft and Bryan- IS AX EXTRA SESSION COMING? It is to be regretted that the rail roads have apparently- made necessary the calling of a special session of the Kansas legislature. The State Journal has argued against the necessity of a special session to reduce passenger fares. believing that the railroads would obey an order of the railroad board, especially when that oraer only extended to Kansas what has already been given to other states and does not bind the roads to keep the two-cent fare in force in this state a moment after it is abrogated in adjoining states. But since the railroads refuse to obey the order of the board, it seems that the only way to keep Kansas from be ing discriminated against is to call -special session of the legislature. It is to be regretted, too, that tha railroad magnates appear to have eo little regard for public sentiment. The public is demanding a two-cent fare, and it will not be satisfied until It gets it, or until it is demonstrated to its satisfaction that a two-cent fare is un- lust. And It will never be satisfied until the railroads give the two-cent fare a fair trial and then produce con clusive figures to show that it is a losing proposition for them. In fighting against public sentiment the railroads are bound to lose In the long run, and for their own good it is to be regret ted that they have adopted the policy of opposing what the public asks. This request of Kansas was no more than fair. Kansas, at the request or the railroads, did not pass a two-cent fare law last winter, and three reasons entered Into the failure of the legisla ture to do so: First, the statement that the roads would immediately con test In the courts the two-cent fare laws of other staies, and bring about a speedy conclusion as to the validity of those laws: second, the understand ing that the railroad commissioners would investigate the passenger tare question, as the legislature naa not time to do, and take such action as the Interests of the state demanded; third, the agreement of the railroads to give Kansas in the Interim a cheap mileage book. In other words, Kansas treated ma railroads very fairly, and it naturally expected to receive from the railroads as fair treatment, at least, as was ac corded other states that had passe., two-cent laws. Instead Kansas Is be ing discriminated against. It has the cheap mileage book, but other states have been given a flat two-cent rate while the Justness of the rate is being litigated, which may take two or three years, with the possibility that tne railroads will not press the litigation to the end. Meanwhile Kansas people who make only occasional short trips are comnelled to pay three cents a mile. One paragraph in the dispatches tell ing why the railroads are opposing the two-cent-fare order in Kansas, indi cates that they are finding the cheap rate fairly remunerative elsewhere. The railroads admit that "passenger earn ings are large," but they attribute It to "the phenomenal prosperity now pre vailing in the west," and say that if hard times should come two cents a mile would not meet the cost of pas senger service. That sounds very much as though "the phenomenal prosperity now pre vailing in the west" or something else is making two cents a mile a paying proposition. And if such hard times come as the railroads are looking for ward to, it will then be time enough to raise the rates. The public should not be required to pay excessive rail road fare for the next ten or twenty years while waiting for some indefinite hard times to come. It will not be fair nor satisfactory for the railroads to argue that because two cents a mile will not pay for good service on some branch line, the state as a whole should not have It. No doubt there are branch lines in Kansas where three cents a mile will not pay for good service, nor would five cents, nor ten cents for the higher the rate the fewer would be the passengers. To argue that two cents a mile does not pay tha railroad company on a small branch line, would not satisfy the publio that It would not pay in the state as a whole. Passenger rates are entirely dif ferent from wheat rates. There Is a certain amount of wheat to be shipped anyway, and raising or lower ing the freight rate makes no differ ence with the amount of traffic, except as it encourages or discourages the production of the cereal by affecting the profits. This year, for instance, the state may have 40,000.000 bushels of wheat to ehip either as wheat or flour and whether the freight rate is high or low will not affect the amount of the traffic a single carload. But with passenger traffic it is different. People travel In proportion as they are able to bear the expense. If It cost ten cents a mile to ride on the railroad, instead of getting over three times as much revenue as the roads do now they would probably get much less. If it cost a hundred dollars for a round trip to the mountains, not one person would go where a hundred go now. The distance from Salina to Topeka is 120 miles. If It cost $24 for the round trip, not one person a week would make it. But with rates that people can afford, they crowd the trains. It is simply a question how low they can be made and still pay the expense of operating the trains and a reasonable profit. Kansas Is apparently facing a spec ial session of the legislature in order lo keep the railroads from discriminating against the state. When the special session convenes there are other ques tions besides passenger rates to be dealt with. Some amendments should be made In the new tax law to limit levies), and the primary law should be enacted. Perhaps other railroad legis lation will also be advisable. It Is to be hoped, however, that noth ing unjust or drastic will be done. It is true that the people of the state will feel outraged that the railroads should make a special session necessary, and there will doubtless be drastic meas ures introduced. It is true that the public win not feel very kindly towards the corporations, but it is to be hoped that wisdom and justice will prevail, and that no measures will be passed simply for revenge, JOURNAL Elf TRIES B The Chicago papers announce the aisappearance or James J. Jappatheo dorokoummountourgeotopoulos. But am air. j-ana-tne-rest-of-it take his name witn mm? How could he con ceal all of It at once? In a Potwin family are two boys, aged five and seven, who, aa all good boys should be, have been taught to say their prayers at night. The older boy has recently been away on a. visit, and on the first night after his return he surprised the family by saying, not the customary "Now I lay me," but the Lord's Prayer. The younger boy stood by and listened in amazement. Then, aa his brother finished, he turned to his mother and said, "Well, mamma, ain't that the limit!" It is reported that Captain Mikkel son has found a new continent north of Behring Straits. This department is curious to know what Captain Mikkelson will do with it now that he has found it. We judge from reports from Chi cago that the railways are anxious for a special session of the legislature, after all. J JAYHAWKER JOTS This is the season of the year when the cornsled gets in its deadly work. The fourteen bankers in the federal prison at Leavenworth are kept on clerical work most of the time. Arkansas City proposes to enforce the curfew. If every family had a curfew of Its own. the city would not need one Inasmuch as there Is no election this fall, the Marquette Tribune is utilizing its election rooster to crow over the success of its baseball team. While admitting that Dr. Snow's statement may be true, that the mean temperature of August was only aver age, Billy Morgan asserts that it seemed a good deal meaner. Representative Hendricks of Raw lins county, has bought a new auto mobile. Perhaps he is figuring on liv ing Congressman Reeder or whoever beats him a race for congress up in tne sixtn, arter all. It is difficult to believe the story that several Emporia weddings have been postponed because of a scarcity of houses there. In such cases they usually go to live with the old folks awhile. Colby Free Press: Two draymen were discussing the business outlook at the Union Paclfio depot last even ing. A man had Just come to the sta tion carrying a trunk on his back. One of the baggage haulers said: "It wouldn't surprise me a bit If some economical fellow like that invents a trunk some day that will walk to the depot." Liberal News: The old Washington hand press, which for years we la bored with, and it came very nearly killing us, was sold this week to J. S. Fischer, who is taking it to Cimarron, a new town west. The old press is good for many more papers. It al ways did good work and is capable of doing more, and will last a lifetime. Its greatest fault was in getting It to run. It never would print a paper un less some large muscled individual got after it in a serious manner. Corn story from the Junction City Union: Robert Henderson, south of i tnis city, today brought to town un doubtedly one of the finest specimens of corn that has been brought to this city this year. The stalks are about nrteen feet tall, with three ears of corn to the stalk. The corn was brought to town for D. W. Taylor, who will box It up and send it to his old home In Massachusetts to some of nis farmer friends, and show them what kind of corn we are raising this year in Kansas. Society news from the Anthony Re publican: "An Anthony girl gave a slumber party in which all the young ladies in lacy white gowns were stretch ed in serried row across the parlor floor. A light was left burning for fear of burglars, so when the girl of the house slipped out, put on her brother's heavy shoes, stomped ud the walk and knocked heavily on the door, the vision of stampeded, snowy-cjad girls falling over the furniture, themselves and the hems of their long night dresses, tickled a neighbor so much he absent-mindedly put the lighted end of his cigar In his mouth while enjoying the scene." OUAREU nEFlECTIOSI. From the Philadelphia Record-) Misery loves company and generally manages to get it. If you are going to call a man names use thi 'phone. Some people have their good points without being very sharp. There are two kinds of friends, those we need and those who need us. Even in fishing for compliments it is generally the big ones that get away. Wigg "How does he rank as a sculp tor?" Waarg "Oh, I don't think he cuts much of a figure." There are, of course, different degrees of conversation. For instance, men chat, women chatter. When a woman thinks she has the best husband in the world it is because she doesn't know any better. Many a man has discovered that there is a decided difference between a help ing hand and the glad hand. Blobbs "Hello, Slobbs. Where are you living now?" Slobbs "Nowhere. I'm boarding." Muggins "My wife wrote to me every day while she was at the seashore. Bugglns "What for?" Muggins "Money. Scribbler "I understand the Inmates of the Home for Feeble Minded are going to publish a magazine." Quibler .it fielri rather overcrowded?" 'Isn't the field rather overcrowded? REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. There's many a smack twixt the man and her lip. Woman would like corned beef and cabbage if it weren't for the) name. You can tell an heiress by the way men are willing to love her in spite of it. A girl likes to have a suitor so as to make it more exciting to flirt with other men. A nice thing about having a lot of children Is you never want to waste any money traveling with them. KANSAS COMMENT SOME MORE STUBBS. W. R. stubbs in abused a good deal; all strong men are. But Stubbs is square, and that is sufficient for the average citizen. The wave of reform which is sweeping Kansas was started by Stubbs. The devil is entitled to his aue. This Is not intended as a reflection upon Stubbs. Tff stubbs had gone to J, Europe, according to his plans, tne Jrle i nnhlfnaM i 1 .1 havA nKtainAil t wauuiiiH v uui i-i complete control, and the corporations would have retained their hold on the throats of the people. But Stubbs kept at it, rallying to his support an army or men who are clamoring for z-cent rare, primary elections, reduced taxes, cor poration regulation, etc. What the result will be, nobody can tell; but the indica tion is that the Stubbs agitation will give the Republican party a needed renovation. The Reform element of the party would like to make Stubbs gov ernor or senator. Stubbs doesn't care tor the governorship, but he would like to be senator, and Long Is greatly dis- Luroea about it. Holton signal. THE ANSWER Religion is a good thing, but where is tne man or woman wno lives up to the teachings of the Bible? Macks ville Enterprise. He was crucified be tween two thieves. But don't let that discourage you. Brother, because no one lives up" to their opportunities in lire. The fraternal orders are good, but where is the man or woman who "lives up" to their teachings? The laws of our country are generally good but rew men live up to them in letter and in spirit, and there would be fewer If it were not for the strong arm that compels obed ience. Where is the man who will say that the world is not better on account of the law. the fraternal societies ana the churches? If you only "live up" to a. small per cent of your religious teach ings you will be a better man tnan lr you ignored them altogether. Stafford Courier. THE MAN WHcTkNOWS IT ALL. Every town has a man who Knows It All. If you are at a ball game he knows exactly when the umpire is wrong and can tell you every time a player makes a mistake. If, he is at a horse race he will inform you where a certain driver lost the race. At the whist party he will tell you how you could have won another trick by play ing differently. In short, he knows it all and knows it all the time. It doesn't pay to argue with him. You can't knock any conceit out of him. and you will only lose your temper. Don't argue with a man who Knows It AH. The only possible thing you can do is to try and tell a bigger lie than he does, and then you want to tell it last. Osborne Farmer. THE PROBLEM. The Hon. Alton B. Parker is still pos sessed of a notion that" he can be elect ed president of the United States on the Democratic ticket. What worries him now is how to get on the ticket without attracting the attention of Custodian Bryan. Wichita Eagle. A GUESS. We are going to make the guess that the Kansas railroads will refuse to put a two cent fare rate in operation October 1. The Kansas railroads have run the state so long that they really have some right to believe they can do as they please. Concordia Blade. EXPRESS CHARGES. After you pay a few express bills you have license to kick. Last week we re ceived a small starter crank for gaso line engine. The crank cost a dollar. The express company charged 50 cents to haul it from Kansas City. The dray man made two trips over town. One to deliver the article. Another to collect for his work. His charge was only a nickel. Smith County Pioneer. FROM OTHER PENS END OF THE SUMMER. There are signs in plenty that the summer has ended. A few more hot and humid days may be experienced. but bronzed and falling leaves will soon be with us, the golden rod is be ginning its yellow glow and the in habitants of large cities are turning homeward in great numbers. lhe steamers from Europe are overladen with passengers, and the railway com panies are finding it difficult to re move the people and their belongings rapidly enough from seashore, coun try and mountain. The schools are once more calling the children home, and there are evidences on all sides of a resumption of the world's serious work. Philadelphia Ledger. WELL, ISN'T HE DOING IT? Mr. James R.

The duke of the Abruzzl. dining in Philadelphia, discussed tolerantly the souvenir craze that has of late begun to make American visitors rather for midable objects in tha eyes of hotel keepers, sea-captains, sextons and curators. "And here I am reminded." said the duke, "of an Incident that happened at the Savoy in London during the season, it was rather a home thrust. You know the Savoy. It is the smart est place in the world to go to for supper after the theater. The lofty. spacious rooms with their red carpets and delicate white walls, the Hundreds of little tables, the tall. lean,. elegant men, the beautiful women in their toilettes, the Jewels flashing on their white arms and shoulders ah, there is nothing like an after-theater sup per at the Savoy in the season. "Well, our American supped there and the rush and hurry of the supper displeased him, for he did not know that every restaurant in London must close at 12:80 sharp. And being dis pleased, this American, though a rich and generous man, decided not to tip nis waiter. "When the waiter, at the supper's ena, saw tne American gather up all the change from the plate, leaving not so much as a little silver three-penny- bit behind, he bent down and said in a sorrowful voice: 1 'Beg pardon, but haven't you for gotten something, sir?' 'I don't think so,' he said coldly. 'Are you sure, sir?' the waiter softly persisted. Yes,' said the American; 'quite sure.' Then he frowned and asked an grily, 'Why, what did you think I had forgotten? "The waiter, perceiving his case was hopeless, said cuttingly: Usually, I believe, sir, you take a soup-ladle, a silver corree-pot, or a half-dozen fish knives with you, sir. That's all, sir.'" An Awkward Dodge. Milton D. Purdy of the United States department of justice said in Wash ington of a rumor brought to him for confirmation by a reporter: "This rumor springs from ignor ance, of the law. I am surprised that you should have credited it. The origi nator of that rumor is as plainly Ig norant of the law as a certain school boy was of French. This boy's father said to him one night at dinner: 'Well, how are you getting on with your French, my son?' Very well, thank you, sir,' the lad replied. The father beamed with pleasure. 'Ask politely In French for some peas,' he said. "There was an awkward pause. Then 'But, father," said the boy, 'I don't want any peas.' Dttln't Appreciate the Gif t. V H. N.

The' heir to the Fackerel millions leaned back in the great chair and bent a stealthy, puzzled glance In the plate the butler had put before him. He had no more idea of the food the plate contained than he had of the proper fork to eat it with. 'Tell me your object in wanting this secretaryship, Fackerel," suggested Judge Delmas, apparently oblivious of his guest's dilemma. "Why you, with almost unlimited wealth at your com mand, should desire such a position, puzzles me." "AmI very well off?" queried Fack erel. "You know money just means figures to a $12 per week bank clerk." "You are better off than this young Hobson, who wants a secretary. He's also a client of mine." "What?" exclaimed Fackerel excit edly, "it it is incredible 1" The Judge smiled reassuringly. Though Delmas had known his old friend's nephew but two or three days, he had taken a fancy to the boy. Ned Fackerel was about twenty-five, a well set up, broad-shouldered fellow, with a fresh, unllned face, which made him look younger than he was. He had a well-shaped head, with steady, deep-set eyes and a square Jaw. "Well, Judge." went on the boy in his deep, pleasant voice, "since I've come Into this money the papers have been printing columns about me and my wealth. I'm besieged by reporters and deluged with congratulations and invitations from people I never heard of. I'd like to drop out of sight for a while until I learn the ropes, you know, and I can't travel very far be cause you'll need me to sign papers now and again. And I should like to try being a. rich man's secretary so that I could see a little life from the inside. "It will not do you any harm," said the judge, "and the experience may do you good. Hobson was only too glad to have a secretary recommended by the Judge, and as Fackerel was quick and adapt able he had little trouble. He accom panied the young millionaire to his great country house, where Hobson expected to entertain in lavish fashion with the assistance of an amiable pleasure-loving aunt. One morning after a night's carousal with some congenial friends, Hobson sent a peremptory summons for his secretary. "The Warings are coming today," he announced. "I nearly forgot all about it. You'll have to go to the sta tion, Fackerel. I'm hanged if I feel up to it, and some one must meet her majesty." "Very well, sir," replied the secre tary rather stiffly. Hobson's way of speaking of women did not coincide with Fackerel's ideas, and the youth always grew especially ruffled at Hob son's careless mention of the girl he expected to marry. Fackerel had never seen Beulah Waring. When he arrived at the sta tion, to find the train in and a num ber of people looking about expect antly, he was puzzled. He was mak ing his way across the platform when he saw a tall, sunbrowned girl com ing toward him. As she stepped aside quickly to avoid being run down by a truckload of trunks, the bag. slipped from her shoulder and she tripped over It, falling straight into Fackerel's outstretched arms. Oh. I hope you aren t hurt! he ex claimed so fervently that she smiled at him. "Not a bit, thank you,"' she replied. Can you tell me whether Mr. Hob- son's trap Is here?" I can indeed," he answered, picking up the bag. "I drove it over to meet Miss Waring." I am Beulah Waring. Ana you? she inquired in a rather imperious j way. I am Mr. Hobson's secretary," stammered Fackerel. "The others are coming on a later j train. I hurried on for a round of golf before luncheon, as I knew the Greers and Denisons were already here," she explained as Fackerel assisted her Into the trap. The coming of Beulah Waring was an event in Ned Fackerel's life. With the single-mindedness of a thoroughly sincere and unworldly man he fell In love with her, deeply and for all time Beulah was honestly unconscious of it, though she might have known it had she stopped to reason out his thought- fulness for her. his gentle air of pro tectlon and deference, and his deep, silent delight in her society. She was not in any way self-conscious and love had never touched her. Her distaste for her approaching marriage was absorbing her mind to the exclusion of all else. Hobson was the only tone who understood the sit uation, and he found a vast amount of quiet, cynical amusement In It. He said nothing to Beulah, whose engage ment to him had been the fruition of a scheming mother s work, because he expected her to allow him great lati tude in his own artairs. On the night of Beulah's birthday there was a dinner at the house. While it was in progress Fackerel was strid ing up and down a secluded path on the lawn having it out witn nimself. He knew at last Just where he stood and how he felt toward Beulah; and he determined, rightly or wrongly, that she should know something of his reelings for ner. After a time he grew calmer. Look ing up he saw Beulah. coming straight to him over tne lawn, ner white gown gleaming against the dark background of the trees. "You haven't even congratulated me, Mr. Fackerel," she began, "and now my birthday is nearly over. ."I've been hoping all day for the chance. Miss Waring. I I want to beg you to accept this in remembrance of some one to whom you have been very kind." He held out to her a small square dox, ana she took it wonaerlngly. "How nice of you why, Mr. Faek erel!" she exclaimed, as she opened the box and saw the exquisite pendant of diamonds, "how perfectly beautiful, and how good of you. but "But what?" he asked as she paused Irresolutely. "I cannot accept so costly a gift, and from you." she said. "I want you to have It," he persist ed, "to remember me. If you will, when I am gone." "Gone!" she repeated. "Why, sure ly you are not going away." "Tomorrow, and this Is our "But whv do you go?" she inter rupted, suddenly growing white and wistful. "I don't want you to go; I need you. I "I trust I don't Intrude," broke in Hobson's cool, sneering: voice. "You make a charming tableau." Fackerel scarcely heertied him. He was too much dazed at th; significance of Beulah's last, trembling speech to think, or to care to think, what Hob son's presence meant. A sudden hope fulness sprang up within him. and he could scarcely keep back the eager words upon hl lips. Beulah. with the gleaming pendant still in her hand, looked from her betrothed's sneering face to the other's, white and intent, and knew at last what the fierce, sweet pain at her heart portended. "Having clandestine' meetings with my prdmised wife is something I could easily overlook," the sneering voice went on. "But a predilection for mak ing expensive presents In one who has access to my safe, is another mat ter. You can consider yourself dis charged, Fackerel." "Robert. I am ashamed of you," ex claimed' Beulah, hastily placing her self between the two men, as Fackerel made a step forward. "You can con sider our engagement broken." draw ing his ring from her finger and thrusting it Into his hand. "Have the goodness to leave me." "I'll look over your accounts at once, Fackere he threatened as he turned and walked away over the lawn "Beulah," began Fackerel. abrupt ly, I don't know how to say It well, but love you with all my heart, and I want you to say that you care for me. Do you She stepped up to him and put her two hands on his shoulders, and so for a long minute she stood looking straight Into Fackerel's eyes. "As I never dTeamed of caring for any one on earth, my dear," she whis pered. (Copyrighted. 1907, by P. C. Eastment.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTHURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1907. I STRAUSES TRIP. TraTeled Many Miles and Made Some Speeches. Warmlj Welcomed fty the People of Hawaii. MET T1IE LONG WORTHS TIsited by a Delegation Japanese Editors. of Decked With. Flowers on Leav ing the Islands. Washington. Sept. 12. The visit of Secretary Straus to the Pacific coast. Including the Hawaiian Islands, ha: been a most enjoyable one, and is like ly to lead to practical results. A flrra believer in the idea that the vast in terests entrusted to his safe-keeping could not be entirely administered from his desk in Washington, the secretary determined to make a personal inspec tion of the workings of the department away from the capital, and to become personally acquainted with the various ornciais having supervision. He accord ingly planned a trip along the Cana dian border to Vancouver, and thence south through Seattle and Portland to Ban Francisco, with Honolulu as the ultimate destination. Returning to Washington he talked freely about his experiences. especially those in the Hawaiian Islands. When he arrived t Honolulu the islanders were out in force to greet him and his party. They were taken to the hotel in automobiles, the route being lined on both sides by the people, who were enthusiastic !n their demonstrations. The presence of Representative and Mrs. Xicholas Longworth added to the warmth of the demonstration. A the hotel delegations from the Board of Trade, Merchants' Exchange, Chinese, Japanese and other societies greeted the secretary, extend d Invitations to dinners and made re quests for ppeeches. Spoke to Islanders. Secretary Straus made several' nota ble addresses while at Honolulu one at a banquet given in his honor by Mr. Hatch, and at a dinner given by th2 Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, the policy of the government In relation to the Islands wae touched upon. On thi latter occasion one of the largest and most representative bodies of business men ever gathered in Honolulu assem bled to present the commercial needs cf the islands. L. A. Thurston, speak ing in behalf of the merchants and planters, described certain commercial disadvantages resulting from annexa tion, laying particular stress upon the necessity for a modification of the coastwise shipping laws applying to the Islands, which penalize the carrying of passengers and freight between th territoiy and the mainland of the ITni ted States in other than American bot toms. Owing to the infrequency with which vessels of that description stop at Honolulu, Mr. Thurston declared th it large quantities of fruit rot upon thu wharves while awaiting shipment, and that the same lack of transportation facilities acts as a peculiar hardship upon residents of the territory who were often obliged, as a result of ill ness or pressing financial matters, to leave for the I'nited States on a vessel of foreign registry and thereby incur the fine of $200 which our navigation laws impose. Straus' Reply. Replying to this address Secretary Straus assured the islanders that he would endeavor to have existing griev ances remedied, and concluded his ad dress by saying: "I have knowledge and experience of the fact that one of the greatest short comings in the way of the progress ol the islands is that there is not sufficient communication between them and the mainland. This you must have, and j-ou ought to have, and speaking indi vidually and officially. I promise you that I shall do everything within ray power to assist In getting the shipping facilities that you need. I have seen much of the world. I am familiar with those places which are the favored lands for tourists, and my eight days' stay here has convinced me that there Is no land on the face of the earth, considering climate and population, and considering beauty and attractiveness cf scenery and charms of hospitality, which offers so much to the tourist, eith er In health or pleasure, as this Eden cf the Pacific." These declarations were enthusi astically applauded, and upon conclud ing the secretary was generously cheered. Sleets Japanese Editors. On another occasion the secretary was waited upon by a delegation of Japanese editors, representing the four Japanese newspapers of Hono lulu, who called to ascertain his views regarding Japanese matters in the ter ritory and as to his policy with refer ence to Japanese immigration, par ticularly if he believed that the pre ponderance of Japanese in Hawaii was Inimical to the future welfare of the Islands. In replv the secretary said: "An ideal condition for the future welfare of these islands would be that there should not be too great a pre ponderance of anv one race, but that an equilibrium be maintained. I Toul 1 impress upon you. and upon each of the several races here, to have a care not to exploit these islands and their resources for the benefit of the country from which they come, but to act in the spirit of the government under which thev live: of loyalty to the Interests of the Islands which af ford such haDDT and Ideal homes for them and for their children." These remarks, which were report ed in all of the newspapers Ameri can, Japanese and Chinese, met with an enthusiastic reception. One of the most interesting dinners tendered to the secretary was given by W. R. Castle, an o'.d schoolmate, w'ho graduated from Columbia univer sity with Mr. Straus, in the law class of "'7 3.

In the red-draped throne room of the palace, long closed to social af fairs, the Governor and Mrs. Carter tendered a public reception to Secre tary and Mrs. Straus, and Representa tive and Mrs. Longworth. The grounds were brightly illuminated by myriads of vari-colored incandescent lights, under which, to the music of the Royal Hawaiian band, thousands of citizens congregated while the re ception was in progress. Unfortunately the limited time at his disposal prevented the secre;ary from visiting the various islands of the Hawaiian group, but h!s party were afforded orportunitv of seeing all that there is in Oahu. the island upon which Honolulu is situated. When the secretary !eft Honolulu a large crowd was assembled on the dock to witness the departure. Secre tary Straus stood on the deck of the steamer decked with wreaths of flow ers, the last token of friendship bo stowed bv the warm hearted islanders, who cheered vociferously as tha steamer moved from the harbor.

Xo official announcement had btn made here up to 1:30 o'clock this afternoon regarding the grounding of the imperial yacht Standart off Horsoe. near flango. Fin land, yesterday afternoon. The news has been withheld even from the embassies. No hint of the accident has been allow ed to reach the public and the news papers have been forbidden to publish a word on the subject under pain of heavy fines and imprisonment as pro vided for by the recent drastic oiitr prohibiting the publication of unoffi cial news regarding the imperial fani 1!;'. The Associated Press, however. learns that the grounding of the yacht on board of which were Emperor Nichols and Empress Alexandria and their family, produced a depressing effect upon Captain Satagin. the commander of the vessel. The Standart lies 1n most unfavorable position upon some rocks which are submerged at high tide, but exemplary order was maintained on board and news of the disaster being telegraphed to the naval authorities, several warships and a salvage steamer were hurried to Horsoe. At 1 o'clock last night the imperial party left lh'; Standart and were taken on board the dispatch boat Asia, while urgent orders were telegraphed to St. Petersburg to have the imperial yacht at Alexandria rent to Horsoe. where she is expected In the course of the day. ARE HAPPY AND CONTENTED. Enterprise Keeps Well Lighted Streets Where Families Visit. t Enterprise, Kan., Sept. 12 This is the best lighted town in Kansas, so far as its main business street Is concerned. Coming into it at night is like stepping into a street carnival. Along both sides of the main street are strung lines of electric light wires with lamps at inter vals of six feet, some of them being red and blue, giving to the street a light like day and proving exceedingly attractive. "It is a business proposition with us." said a merchant. "We tried the old fahioned method of having a light on every corner, but found that the people did not like to come down town in the evening. Then the merchants agreed to place seats in front of their stores and we arranged for these lights. A band was engaged for weekly concerts and townspeople were encouraged to come out and have a friendly visit. That they appreciate it is shown by the way they accept our invitation." Every evening It Is the custom to walk down to the main street and famillas make friendly visits along the benches under the lights. There are no joints in the town and the crowd Is happy and peaceful. On the band concert nights the farmers' families come in and spend the evening. It has been a good invesi ment both in a business way and In the better feeling between the residents of the town and those of the surrounding country.

Emnorla, Sept. 12. The costs in the damage suit of George H. White against the Santa Fe Railroad company, were paid here by ten men- It will be remembered that eight petitions were filed against the Santa Fe Railroad company by eight farmers living near Xeo.-ho Rapids, for damages which they alleged were due them, as a result of the railroad building a bridge across" the Xeosho river just this side of Ne csho Rapids, and which they claimed was so narrow that it dammed the wa ter in the river, thus flooding their farms and ruining their ctops. The damages asked for in the eight petitions totaled between tS.OCO and JS0.000. The damage to their crops and farms occur red during July of 1904. These eight men who suffered dam age at the hands of the railroad, as they claimed, agreed to make a test case of the While suit, and the other seven cases were to remain pending until the final disposition of the White versus Santa Fe suit. The first time the White suit was up for trial in 1906, Judge Meckel sustained a demurrer filed by Lambert ft Huggins for the defendant. At the second hearing which took place May 25, the jury returned a verdict foi the Santa Fe. The total costs for the filing of the eight suits and the hearing of the White suit amounted to nearly $450. About l hundred dollars was thrown off, how ever, by witnesses which left T350.

Bovine had a ring in his nose, but the officers could not hold him long enough to get the rope through the persuader, and the beast had all the advantage in beef. He towed the of ficer at a rapid gait until he was headed off by Palmer, who then took a hand in the game. Palmer is one of the "heavies" of the police force, but he was not competent to monkey with a large bull, and he passed "westward ho" on East Tenth avenue at a gait calculated to make the "Guideless Wonder" sit up and take notice. After a long run for his money he succeeded in passing to the good side of a tree, and then the "critter" play ed rinsc-around-a-rosy with him. Pollccmian Judkins as a Cowboy.

Tho proceedings to have Mr. Vander bilt declared Incompetent were brought oy his daughter. Miss Minerva Vander- out, after Mr. Vanderbilt had married Mrs. Pepper several months ago and had given to her a large portion of the real estate which he owned In Brooklyn, including the house In which they lived. A sister of Mr. Vanderbilt subsequently joined her niece In the appeal to the courts. The hearing was held before a jury and a commission consisting of a physician, a lawyer and a banker. Much testimony was offered to show that Mr. Vanderbilt had been imposed upon by so-called communications with his dead wife through a spirit whom he called "Bright Eyes," the communications be ing engineered by Mrs. Pepper Vander bilt. Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt was put on the witness stand and questioned at great length as to her ability to com municate with the spirits. She was also called" upon by opposing counsel to read the contents of letters in sealed envelopes. This she could not do In the court room, explaining that the gift only came to her at certain times and when the spirit moved her. The jury retired at 3 p. m. yesterday and was in session all night. The final vote was 12 for incompetency yagainst 3 for competency. This is sufficient to constitute a verdict. JOE AVTLSOX rX NEW BUSINESS. Will Have Charge of Agency for Li brary Bureau ot Chicago.

Tew That Moved t May Be 700 Years Old t Mile and a Quarter. Perhaps the most ambitious attempt at transplantation on record has just been made at Frankfort-on-the-Matn. Germany, and the results are being eagerly watched by botanists. The old est yew tree In Germany, perhaps m the world, has been removed from the old Botanical Garden, which the muni cipality Is about to use for some other purpose, to the new one. The distance traversed was about a mile and a quar ter. The tree was moved not on account of any special scientific value, but for sentimental reasons. Its age is estima ted by some authorities at 700 years, and it seemed a sort of sacrifice to cut It down without an effort to save It. Preparations for the removal were be gun three years ago under direction ot expert botanists. The principal opera tion was the clipping of the tendrils of the roots to a radius of about six feet. This was gradually done, a few at a time, so that the tree might accustom Itself to their loss. About the end of last May the colossal task of lifting the tree from Its bed and placing it on n huge wagon constructed for the pur pose was begun. A sort of crate was built about tne roots with the earth clinging to them as fast as they were laid bare, the tree being kept erect by guy ropes. When this was finished it was slowly pushed along skids to the wagon, which was located in a trench, so that its floor was about on a level with the bottom of the crate. The crate was about 13 feet square and six deep. The tree is about 66 feet tall, and some of the lower branches had to be pruned to keep them from damaging the roofs of houses along the way. The weight of the tree and its nackinsr was estimated at 90.000 pounds and to carry it the truck was made of enormous strength. It was decided that it would be im practicable to put the wagon on wheels, as each one would have to carry a weight of 25.000 pounds, or more than German locomotive wheels are tested for. Besides, it was figured that less namaee would bd done to the road by using rollers of American hickory. In places where sewers or other pipes were underground heavy timber beams were arranged to take the weight of the rollers for fear the conduits would be crushed. The mechanical part of the transpian tatlon was carried out triumphantly. Tii trc la still nroprjed ud in its new location lest the wind should blow It over before it gets a solid hold on the earth. It is watched and watered from day to day. It is not yet certain wheth er it will accustom itself to its new home, but there are great hopes that :t will. New York Sun. MARSHALL DISCHARGES TWO.

re THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOUBNAL THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1907. The following:, from a Chicago pa- jper, is of uncommon interest in To tpeka: Mr. Robert Smith gave a din 'ner last week at the College Inn, 'White City, in honor of his mother's birthday. The occasion was made doubly interesting toy the announce ment of the engagement of his sister, Georgiana Sanderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith, to Mr. George Dick Rodgers of Muskogee, Indian territory. Mr. Rodgers is the son of Mr. and Mr a. A. K. Rodgers, 503 Monroe stret, and formerly lived! in Topeka where he has hosts of friends. He graduated from the school of law of the Uni versity of Kansas and is a member of the Phi Kappa Fsi fraternity. After he left school he was appointed to a .position on the Dawes commission in Indian territory and resigned from that to- practice law in Muskogee, t where he is meeting with marked success. Miss Margaret Jetmore has asked a few guests informally for Friday afternoon to renew acquaintance with Mls Helen Gardenhire of New York, (formerly of Topeka. The Hellanthus subscription dance at Vinewood tomorrow night will (probably be the last pavillion dance of the season and this fact, witn tne presence of a number of attractive Malting girls and the "flitters" who have returned from their summer krlps will give the event unusual In terest for the Younger Set.

Only immediate friends and members of he families of the bride and groom were present at the wedding last toight, which was one the prettiest borne weddings of the early fall. The Irooms were tastefully decorated with jrmllax and palms, with an interwoven eolor scheme of red and white. Miss McCleary presented a charming picture as a bride in her dress of white voile. She carried red and white roses. The Rev. Frank B. Mal lory officiated at the wedding cere mony. The E. O. W. Whist club will meet at Vinewood Saturday at 2 p. m. by re Quest of the president. "The average professional beauty," a man who has looked them all over said yesterday, "is a pencilled eye brow, a marcel wave and a Gossard corset. But the now visiting girl is different and I walked the room all night after I met her." Talk about great oaks from, little acorns: a girl who, because sh 'could have her choice of four or five, is constantly being made the subject of engagement rumors, took an old hat down town to be ret rimmed the other day and bought a new one. The next day she heard that she was "sure go ing to be married because she bought ix new hats!" Mrs. E. E Wardin entertained fourteen guests at luncheon Tuesday In honor of Mrs. Rhoda Hadley of Bennington. 111., who is visiting her. A girl and a man were walking JAPANESE EFFECT. The Japanese effect is the keynot e of the season's style. A most charm ing gown in this style is here shown. The skirt is developed in cream colored mull over corn-colored taffeta. The top skirt Is shirred at the waist and embroidered at the bottom. The blouse, which is worn under the coat, is made of the mull to match the skirt. The coat, which is made of the corn colored taffeta, is heavily embroidered in open work and is surplice front and back. along Topeka avenue the other night talking enthusiastically at the tops of their voices. "Her eyes!" cried the girl, "did you ever see anything so darling! And her hair! Isn't it per fectly lovely?" "Yes," assented the man. "and her legs! And her fat, dimpled knees. Wouldn't you like to bite 'em!" And all along both sides of the streets perfect ladies sitting on front porches fainted away and had to have water thrown in their faces although they might have saved themselves the trouble if they had listened a moment longer and found out that the subject of .these, indis creetly audible rhapsodies was a lit tie three-year-old girl whom every body in town is crazy about. It may be high treason to say it, but the American Beauty's beauty is nine- tenths dry goods. Mr. and Mrs. Albert W. Bartlett sent out invitations yesterday for the mar riage of their daughter.

For two months thi persistent demands of Japanese for concessions of forest, mines, land, salt houses and other things desired have been stubbornly refused by the Chinese viceroy and governor. In consequence of his ill success, the Japanese consul general has been transferred to another point, the struggle in the mtantime being aban doned, though reprisals are threat ened. The Ch-nese conducted thj difficult negotiations with great ability, indi cating a restoration of self confidence and an intelligent perception of politi cal conditions, national rights being recognized and defended without fear. Great progress has been made in all departments of the government con cerning Manchuria, a strong army of 60.000 men guarding the future peace of the country. The viceroy will soon leave on a special mission to the northern pro vinces. The harvest is abundant. The Jannnese population and commerce are increasing steadily ar.d other trade prospects are good.

At the time of the robbery, however, Mr. Wettack was not president of the bank. He has been elected to that of fice since then. He is not as much con sumed with bitterness about it as are some of the other people who wero present at the tragic affair. It is said that he is not especially opposed to a pardon being granted to Emmett Dal ton. Mr. Wettack and George R. Snelllng came to Topeka to deposit with the state reasurer bonds as security for the state money which the First Na tional of Coffeyvllle will take care of during the next two years. CHAS.

THEY BLAME AMERICA. Japanese Say V. S. Citizens Caused tho Vancouver Trouble. Tokio, Sept. 12. The Jijl in a lead ing editorial, to be published tomor row greatly deplores the fact that an incident similar to that at San Fran cisco has occurred at Vancouver, which is part of the territory of an al ly of Japan. The JU1 believes that the trouble at Vancouver was occasioned by the Increased arrival of Japanese laborers from Hawaii after the en forcement of the exclusion measure by the government at Washington, coupled with the contagion of anti Japan lem rampant on the Pacific coast of the United States. This had fanned the anti-oriental sentiment which had existed for several years in British Columbia and had only been prevented from assuming legal form by the attitude of the Dominion gov ernment. The paper, however, em phasizes the fact that the outbreak at Vancouver like the trouble at San Francisco, is only local. It says: "The regret already expressed by the Canadian government coupled with assurances of the prevention of the reoccurrence of a similar Incident even a royal message having been sent to the dominion authorities in refer ence thereto furnishes the clearest evidence that the Japanese have offi cial sympathy on their side. More over, the power of the Dominion gov ernment over individual states is greater than that of the government at Washington and the Canadian po lice are more efficient than those of San Francisco, and there is every reason to believe that the fullest pro tection will be given to our compa triots at Vancouver. "While the present incident Is limited locally and is against the general senti ment of the British public, and, as such, is possible of speedy solution yet it must be remembered that It is preg nant with the most difficult complica tions now facing the authorities and statesmen of the nations concerned. The time will soon come when a fundament al solution, completely removing ori ental and occidental friction, will be on the tapis as a practical question." The Hochi publishes the experience of a high Japanese official when he visit ed a place near Vancouver where Jap anese are engaged in salmon fishing. He went in company with the Japanese consul and men who had interests there and states that the Japanese laborers fairly insulted the party, saying: "You have no business here. Run away, or receive our lists." The paper .quotes this Japanese offi cial as saying that the Japanese there were the roughest and rudest he had ever seen. They were totally ignorant of common politeness and he did not wonder they had become objects of hatred. They are ready to insult their consul, when in good health, but when taken sick they appear at the consulate for assistance as if claiming it by right. The presence of such characters only arouses the enmity of their neighbors. The name of the official making these statements is not given, but there Is reason to believe he is a member of the present Japarese cabinet. LONGWORTHS RETURN. They Arrive at San Francisco From Honolulu. San Francisco. Sept. 12. Congress man Nicholas Longworth and Mrs. Longworth arrived here today on the steamer Sierra from Honolulu. LOCAL JttEATIOX. Dr. Garfield W. Weede. the coach of the Washburn football team, ar rived in Topeka yesterday and will at once take chants of the local team of gridiron warriors. The Midgets have arranged a base ball game for the League park Sunday afternoon with the Scranton team which is the champion of the Osage County league. The game ought to be a great amateur contest according to the dope. Vinewood park Is scheduled to close next Sunday. As a result :many of To peka's pleasure seekers, who consider Vinewood the greatest resort for pleas ure In this section, are thronging to the park for a farewell look. Today Is the first day of actual work for the students of Washburn college. However, the real work of the school will be overlooked by the students for several davs on account of the numer ous receptions and other social events which always mark the opening days of Washburn. The popular event of the programme at the fair grounds yesterday after noon was the exhibition of Surena, the guldeles3 wonder. Surena. however, failed to lower her trotting record. Francis Bonebrake has returned from Colorado. Mrs. Cord Smith and Mrs. Lake Fried man went to Kansas City today to see Olga Nethersole in "The Awakening." They will be the guests of Mr. Frank Stetzler and his mother until Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Lyman, who have been visiting in Topeka for some time, left today for their home in Chicago. Homer Hoch, private secretary to Governor Hoch, Is sick today and un able to be at the state house. Attorney General F. S. Jackson put in this morning looking at houses. Mr. Jackson Is going to start up house keeping in Topeka. Major and Mrs. W. McD. Rowan and son Ballinger of Garden City, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kemper, have gone to Kansas City. Marriage Licenses Issued. Marriage licenses were granted to Robert Edwards, aged 44, and Eliz abeth Britt, aged 34, of Topeka, this morning, and to Clarence B. Rex and Dixie B. McCleary, the former 23 and the latter 18, of Topeka also. Just be fore leaving for the races he granted a certificate to Margaret Kennett and Clinton C. Wax, each 22 years of age and delayed his departure long enough to tie the knot. HAYES YHITE HERE. Brought His Larare and Promising Family Along. Hayes B. White, the well known ex senator from Mankato. visited the state house today, accompanied by his wife and a long procession of well dressed young men and young women whom he introduced as his sons and daughters. Mr. White took his family to visit Governor Hoch. and the crowd was so dense In the governor's office that it looked as though a public re ception was in progress. Mr. White is very proud of his big family, and he has a right to be. The young women are all graceful and good looking, and the young men are brown, brawny and broad Bhoulderod. Mr. White, senior, started in to Intro duce the family to a State Journal re porter, but after John and Tom, and William, and Henry and Charles and seven or eight more had passed thrcugh the hopper, he gave it up as a bad Job. because one of his grand children was crying too loudly to per mit of further conversation in that vicinity. "That one is Job." said Mr. White pointing proudly to a powerful young farmer. "You've heard of Job White. He is right end on the K. U. football team." The White family Is in Topeka to at tend a wedding. One of Mr. White's numerous progeny Is about to estab lish a new swarm, and all the Whites came to see that the marriage cere mony was observed with due splendor. Mr. White may be back In the Kan sas senate one oi these days or he may go to congress. He has plenty of money and can aftord to do either. If I. D. Young goes into the congressional race, it is likelv that either Mr. White or Dr. Peters of Mankato will succeed him In the state senate. "I am not making any special fight for the nomination to the state senate," Bald Mr. White, "though I am free to say that sometimes I have thought of asking for my old seat again. And then, there is that congressional fight it Is very much mixed up, and there might be such a thing as well, there is no use in talking about that now." Concerning the congressional situa tion in the Sixth district Mr. White said: "It looks to me as though Reeder had the inside track. I believe that he con trols the congressional committee, and that if he wants a primary he can have it. He may decide that by having a primary with a plurality to decide, he would have a sure thing and Reeder is looking for a sure thing. Figure It almost any way you will, and Reeder has the best chance to win, I think. That is not because Reeder is especially popular, for he Is not. The politicians are nearly all against him, except the postmasters. But the opposition is too much divided to accomplish his defeat. Of course if Reeder's opposition could ever get together, they would down him with ease, but they can't get togeth er." But as Mr. White hinted, there is a possibility that he may take a hand in the congressional fight himself. If the Ham-Young fight gets too bitter, there may be a chance for a compromise can didate for the "square deal" crowd, and White might fill the bill. CHICAGO SCHOOL FUSS. Opposition to Admitting Adult Ori entals Develops. Chicago, Sept. 12. A recommendation bv the superintendent of Chicago pub lic schools to the effect that certain adult foreigners be admitted as pupils in one of the schools, brought out the fact that proposals to admit any adults, especially any orientals, will meet .very strong opposition from members of the school board. Superintendent Cooley In a formal communication last night rec ommended that three Japanese one Persian one Hollander, two Irishmen and an' Englishman be admitted to an ungraded room which had been provid ed at the Jones school building. Dr. Guerin, one of the school trustees im mediately objected to admitting aduUs 2nd I especially oriental adults to the schools where they would be th" into association with children. Other trustees objected also on grounds of the Impropriety of devoting school funds to educating any adults and particularly objectionable adults. The attorney of the board being appealed to, said hj had doubts of the legality of admitting any pupil above the age of 21 but de The whole matter was then referred to The whole matter was then ref rered to the committee on school management. HE STANDS BY MARSHALL. Parole Officer Crawford Says Re formatory Is Well Managed. Parole Officer W. H. Crawford of the Hutchinson reformatory, came to Topeka today to see Governor Hoch. He was In conference with the gover nor for some time, and it is supposed that the reformatory conditions were discussed. "I have never seen anything about Superintendent Marshall to indicate that he was of a brutal disposition." said Mr. Crawford. "He has always impressed me as a very able man. Some'times he has tolerated conduct on the part of the Inmates that I would not tolerate. They have some very bad boys down there, and strict discipline Is necessary. As a financial manager, Marshall is an undisputed success, and the present difficulty arises because of a difference of opin ion concerning the methods of han dling the inmates. Marshall has some very bitter enemies who are af ter him." Governor Hoch announced today that the consideration of the reforma tory evidence would not be taken up until after the members of the re formatory board come home from at tending the prison conference. LEFT" HIS BOXDSMENV Charles Martin. Who Is Arrested, Claims a Mistake Has Been Made.

Collectors of customs throughout the country are notifying owners of motor boats of every size that they are re quired to carry on their craft two copies eacn or the reaerai placard pilot rules and the rules for lights. .A national agitation on the part of motorists looking toward the removal of telegraph and telephone poles from the roadside Is in sight as the result of so many serious accidents which have resulted from swerving cars striking poles. Individual Instruction in road work will be the feature of the automobile school conducted by the West Side Toung Men's Christian association of New York City. Last seascn the school had 317 students, making It the largest of Its kind in the world. Ohio motorists pay only a local tax on their cars at present, and the State Automobile association will try to have a uniform registration law passed to that the cars will not have to be Hyaral ly covered with tags as they go from cne town to another. Sixty-four different methods of laying the dust and of preventing automobile tires from destroying the top layer of macadam roads recently were tried by the municipality of Paris. Each of the compositions which proved successful had coal tar for Us basis. A Brooklyn motorist in cleaning his machine recently discovered a pair of Unen cuffs within a rear shoe, and on inquiry learned they had been utilized to protect a slight blowout that hal occurred on the road some weeks prev iously when no repair shop was handy.

That America's exports of automo biles at last have overtaken the Im portation Is shown by a report from the department of commerce and la bor for the year ending June 30. which gives the exports at $5,500,000 and the imports at $4,500,000.

According to Ellen Terry stage fright Is like nothing else In the world. "You are standing on the stage ap parently .quite well and in your right mind," she says In McClure's Maga zine, "when suddenly you feel as if your tonjue had been dislocated and was lying powerless in your mouth. "Cold shivers begin to creep down ward from the nape of your neck and all up you at the same time, until they seem to meet in the small of your back. 'About this time you feel as if a centipede, all of whose feet have been carefully iced, has begun to run about in the roots of your hair. The next agreeable sensation is the breaking out of a cold sweat all over. "Then you are certain that some one has cut the muscles at the back of your knees. Tour mouth begins to open slowly without giving utterance to a single sound, and your eyes seem Inclined to jump out of your Head over the foot-lights. At this point it is well to get oft the stage as quickly as you can, for you are far beyond human help. "Whether everybody suffers in this way or not I cannot say, but It ex actly describes the torture 1 went through In "The Governor's Wife." I had Just enough strength and sense to drag myself off the stage and seize hold of a book, with which, after a few minutes, I reappeared and igno miniously read my part. Whether Mme. de Rhodna boxed my ears or not I can't remember. I think it is very likely e did. for she was very quick tempered. "In later years I have not suffered from the fearsome malady, but even now, after 50 years of stage life. I never play a new part without being overcome by a terrible nervousness and a torturing dread of forgetting my lines.

OUTSIDERS V1CTOIIY. Buster Jones an Unknown Wins Running Race. Surena Gives a Good Exhibi tion as Guideless Wonder. There was not much out of the ordinary at the races at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon and which provided the sport for the sec ond day of the great race meet being held under the auspices of the Kansas State Exposition company. All of 'the harnef-rs races were won in straight heats with the exception of a special which was put on for a couple of local horses. Even though the races wtro won in straight heats some good sport was furnished, and some of the heats provided as pretty races as have been seen here. Good time was made In ail of the heats. But with the track in the wonderful condition It is in and the weather conditions as they weie, the horses would certainly have been a lot or plugs ir TTiey am not make good time, and they are anything but plugs. All Horses at the Races Arc Not Prize Beauties. One of the sterling performances of the dav. and one of much local Inter est, was the showing made by D. O. Crane's brown three-year-old colt, Teddy R.. in the 2:27 trot. Juanita C, a Kansas Citv horse, won the race in straight heats, but Teddy R. got sec ond money, finishing third in the first heat, second In the second and third in the third. The time for these three heats averaged under 2:22 and the per formance of Teddy R. was quite re markable considering the fact that he is but three-year-old and was racing against aged horses. As much interest was taken by the large crowd on hand in the perform ance of Surena. the trotting guideless wonder, as there was in the races. And the exhibition given by Surena was quite a remarkable one. Ke trotted a full mile without a break in 2:15. which is almost as fast as any of the horses at the meet have gone with drivers behind them. A running horse, hitched to a sulky, was brought out on the track to pace Surena. but the pacemaker never got within thirty yards of the wonder. A suggestion was made that perhaps the pacemaker was really a chaser, but even if he was nothing would be detracted from the performance of Surena. Eating In a Mile. When Buster Jones took the lead In the one running race on the pro gramme, a three-quarter mile dash which Is dignified with the name, "The Copeland Hotel." and kept the lead to the finish, there was a lot of sur prise as well as chagrin among the "wise" ones, the pikers who really bet as much as three dollars on one race. They had picked Hrokfn Melody to win and Nettie O. for place. Broken Melodv finished in the ruck and the best Nettie C. could do was to reach the wire In third place, so the book maker made a "killing" on this race. 3ut the game he killed was not very big for the aggregate betting at a race meet in Topeka is not a drop in a hurket n mmnflrpH witl-i what It Is In j other places in this section of the country, where the crowds at the races are not half os large as they are here. After a considerable search of dope books and records it develops that when The Bear won the Kansas Derby on Tuesday In the wonderful time of 1:41 he lowered the world's record for a mile over a half mile track by three-quarters of a second. This rec ord was held by George Miller and was made o-er the old exposition park track at Kansas Citv. Mo.. In 1893. A special race was put on for the purpose of permitting Charles Sam son's Lady Direction and Al Hayley'3 Wavward Maid to make marks for themselves before they are retired from the turf.

SHELDON BACK. Topeka Preacher Returns European Trip. From Char'es M. Sheldon pastor of the Central Congregational church, re turned Wednesday from his six months' trip abroad, and on next Sunday morning will resume the pas torate of his church. Mr. Sheldon went to England to deliver addresses in bthalf of the temperance move ment in that country. When through with his lectures, he visited Norway and other continental points. "Great Britain is far behind Amer ica in a temperance way," said Dr. Sheldon. 'The saloons, or public houses as they are termed there, are numerous. And one of the bad feat ures is that thu use of liquor is not limited merely to the men. The wo men and children use it to excess. The conditions now have come to be re garded as a serious menace to the country. The government seems to be fully aware of this as was shown to some extent by the interest in our meetings generally, and on the part of officials, as well as of others. Even the most wide-open town in this state would be nearly a paradise as compared with the towns there, in that respect. "But there is to be legislation o? some sort in me way oi reuei. ine government already has pledged itself to that. Just wnat it wm De can noi be said. What the people ape asking is local option, or as they call it local vjto. "Our meetings were largely attend ed, arid thf-re was intense interest in th-?m wherever we went. We held 74 week day meetings and 18 or 20 meet ings :-n Sundays. Often these were in public halls and on a number of oc casions the mayor or some other pub lic official of the town presided. The auiiences were demonstrative. The people seemed to be wrought up to th-- point where they made demon strations at the meetings. At these meetings there were a number of speakers besides myself sometimes as high or five or six. And on every occasion the people showed deep in terest in all that was said. BUSINESSSESSiOH.

HITS THICK AND FAST Topeka Kept Playing Tattoo on the Fence. New Pitcher Named Moore Is Tried Out. Poor old Cv! The tall, angular, blue eyed star pitcher of the Wichita team received the worst bumping this morning that has fallen to his lot since the season opened and Cy started out on nis whirlwind career of games won. y.? never had any luck against the To peka team. There has been but one game this season in which he has held the locals down to less than eleven hits. That game was the one piayea at the local park today and tne oniy reason that eleven or more secured off him was because wonanu yanked him out at the ena ox ui second inning. During his tenure on th mniinri fvruct Allowed seven hits; one of them a triple by Davis and an other one good for the same amount of transportation by Bunton. x-xe m hit Abbott in the hip and made a poor throw to third which scored Davis. Bunton pitched his nrst vicwi against the Jobbers this morning. During the early stages or tne gaiiie he had things going any way he want ed them but after the locals had se cured a sure lead he let down a litrue ami arH himself for another game. He had splendid control and did not walk a man. He also helped material ly in winning his own game by sending in two runs with his triple and scor ing a moment later on a fly to left and scoring Runkel with a single in tna third inning. Walter Boles did some great worn. for the locals. He was up four turns with three hits, one of them a double. He is credited with a run. a sacrifice. stolen base and five putouts in center field. Ragan. Bunton. Olson ana Kun- kel each pulled off two nits apiece. Runkel's were both double while Ra gan hit one for two sacks. or tne Jnhhers. Becker and Bay'.ess hit twice, one of Becker's being a three-sacker and responsible for Bunton s rauure to secure a shutout. In the fielding line Becker puned oil the greatest stunt. In the second in ning Davis hit a line drive to left field. Becker made a fast run for the ball and held out his gloved hand and nailed the ball securely. It was a very nifty piece of work. A catch of Siek meyer's in the ninth innlns was not far behind in brilliancy. He made a long run for a low fiv from Nichols' bat which looked sood for a safe hit and held the ball with both hands. The locals played a great game, both at bat and in the field. An errorless game with fourteen- hits is quite a performance. The local bunch with Olson on the firing line pulled off a nice double Dlav while the visitors figured in two. rV The scoring started in the first in ning with a three-bagger by Davis. Davis was playing a little far off of thirrf snd Cvrus Young in an effort to head him off threw the ball away and i Davis scored. Boles nit ana addoii got hit in this inning but no more runs were forthcoming. Tt was In the second inning that Mr. C Young read the handwriting on the wall and met his Waterloo. Mr. Ragan started off with a neatly placed one sacker. Siekmeyer followed with a duplicate. Brennan pulled off a nice sacrifice hit and advanced both men to the next station.' With two on and one down It was up to Bunton and he deliv ered the goods in the shape of a three base hit to left center field. Becker made his onehand stop of Davis liner but Bunton scored on the throwin and three runs were across. Olson and Bols both singled but Abbott fanned much to the amusement of Cy who was trying to be as pleasant as possible under the LITTLE B LET The illustration shows a suit that is especially adapted for late summer wear, developed in either light cloth or linen. The above waa made of white French pique, having collar, cuffs and belt made of dark blue pique. The blouse almost reaches the knees. The knickerbockers are shaped in the usual way to allow freedom of movement, the top being faced- with a stout material, and the lower edge is finished with leg bands or an elastic in a hem casing. 4 distressing circumstances. After the second Inning Young gave way to Moore, a young amateur pitcher who is known throughout the brush as "Skinny." His home is In Randolph and in his section of the state he is touted as a wonder. He brought a lot of friends along with him to see him try out. His work-was not so awfully bad when it is considered that the lo cals had their batting eyes on. Runkel hit him for two bases and Ragan pop ped up to Annis. Siekmeyer walkej and Bunton again hit for a base, send ing Runkel home. The locals got to Moore again In the fourth. Olson reached first on an error by Annis and went to second on Boles' sacrifice. Abbott tripled and Olson couldn't help scoring. Abbott scored on Runkel's long fly to Becker. Ragan doubled but could not score as Siek meyer was an easy our. As a slight change to the monotony of the game Wichita In the sixth inning took a whack at the scoring. Bay less startea ott with a single to center. Becker followed with a three base hit oyer between Boles and Davis and Dickey scored. Becker scored a moment later on Hetling's fly to Boles. Thus Wichita made their last runs of the season on the local grounds. The locals rested easy until the eighth when, they again went into the fray for a little more of the rich red blood of the Jobbers which was being spilt in profusion during the morning. After Bayless trapped Davis' fly Olson beat out an Infield hit and scored on Boles' double. Abbott went out on an infleld grounder but Runkel pulled off his sec ond two base stunt and Boles scored. Thus ended the drubbing of the Job bers. Result Topeka 9; Wichita 2. The glad news In figures: TOPEKA. J-'layer AB. It.

New York Stock Market. Wall St.. New York, Sept. 12. STOCKS Primary prices of stocks showed vigor ous advances over last night with an ac tive demand. There were rising sales of 3.d00 shares of Union Pacific at 131i and 131. compared with 130 last night, and of 4.000 shares of Amalgamated Copper ot 65 to 65, compared with 64 last night. Northern Pacific rose 2 floints, St. Louis Southwestern 1 points, Reading 1 points. Great Northern preferred and American Smelting point and St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Colorado Southern, Great North ern Ore certificates, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Anaconda a point. Extensive profit taking speedily oblit erated the advances In the metal stocks and materially reduced these. An interval of dullness and rising of prices followed and the market reached the highest again. Renewed pressure against Amal gamated Copper drove it down to 64. but only had a temporary effect on the gener al market. Amalgamated Copper made a downward piunge oi ivi to b'i points. American Smelting 1 points and Anaconda 1. The reaction In the general market in sympathy did not entirely wipe out pre vious gains, and prices rose again when Amalgamated Copper rallied 11 points. The trading became very dull at the rally. Bonds were irregular. Another collapsed metal group affected American Smelting principally, that stock going down 3 points, to 32. Amalgamated Conper re ceded to a new low level, at 61 'and the railroad list began to show less stability. Reading gave way to 95, following the news of disturbances on the Philadelphia stock exchange. U. S. Steel broke 1 point. Minneapolis and St. Louis points and St. Paul 1 points. Huge blocks of U. S. Steel were thrown on the market and It broke to 30. The preferred was dragged down 1 points. Amalgamated Copper and American Smelting sold lower than before. The ef fect on the general list was more moder ate. American Smelting had lost 4 points up to 2 o'clock, Amalgamated Copper 3 points, I. S. Rubber first preferred 3 points. Anaconda 2 points. Erie first preferred 2 points. Amerrcan Car prefer red 2 points and Pennsylvania. Reading, Missouri Pacific. Great Northern prefer red, Colorado and Southern, U. S.
