Trustees Make a Settlement With Mrs. C. J. Devlin. Gets Nearly Ualf a Million In Money. ADJUSTS ALL SUITS. Her Claim for Dower Rights to Be Dismissed. Other Adjustments Are Also Made by Trustees. Cyrus Leland. James E. Hurley and Walter Reeves, trustees for the estate of the late C. J. Devlin, with their at torney, John S. Dean, have made a final settlement with Mrs. C. J. Devlin for whatever claim she had against the estate of her husband. By the ti-rms of the settlement Mrs. Devlin pays the trustees $50,000 of the million of life insurance collected and the trustees dismissed their suit con testing Mrs. Devlin's contention for a dower interest in the estate and the suit to establish a trust to take charge of the life insurance already collected by Mrs. Devlin. Mrs. Devlin also dis misses all suits for dower or other in terest in the Devlin estate. The trus tees also arrived at a final settlement with the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe Railway company for salvage in the Crawford county mines. The Dev lin estate probably will be finally ad judicated and settled before January 1. In this way Mrs. Devlin gets $450,000. "Neither party was satisfied with the compromise." said Mr. Dean. "But that's the history of all compromises. The other side thought they should have gotten more out of It and we thought we should have received more than the $50,000." At the time of Mr. Devlin's death Mrs. Devlin put in a claim for a widow's dower interest in her hus band's holdings in Missouri and Illi nois. This amounted to about 14.000 acres in coal lands. Her interest would have been about $150,000. The trustees contested this dower claim by a suit in th- federal court. Mrs. Dev lin also filed a clRim in Kansas of $640,000 as the widow's interest in the entire estate- of Mr. Devlin. The trus tees also contested this claim. By to day's settlement Mrs. Devlin surren ders all rights to the estate as well a h-r dower interest and $50,000 of Vi million dollars collected in insurance. The Mount Carmel Coal company, a Devlin company, leased the land of the Cherokee Pittsburg Coal and Mining company in Crawford county, Kansas, several years ago. This lease expired Jnne 1, 1906, about a year after Mr. Devlin's failure. At the ex piration of the letfse the Cherokee Pittsburg company, owned by the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, took possession of the property without re imbursing the Devlin trustees for im provements made by Mr. Devlin at the mins. The trusses regained pos session of the property by an injunc tion suit and then made an arrange ment whereby the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe should operate the mines, the final adjudication to come later. It was this settlement that was made today. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe paid $175,000. The First National bank of Topeka, owned bv C. J. Devlin, failed July 3, 1905. with liabilities of more than 2 mil! inn dollars. Devlin's extensive mining property In Kansas and Mis souri was involved in the failure. Dev lin died in Chicago November 1, 1905. Two syndicates are after the Dev lin Coal company property which fs the main asset remaining in the hands of the trustees. The one syndicate Is headed by Dwight. Illinois. parties and the other syndicate is made or moneyed men from Kansas City. It is stated that the first named syndi cate was formed largely through the Instrumentality of Frank Smith. brother of John Smith, secretary or the Kansas board of state tax com missioners. Neither of the bids which have been entered by the two syndicates is de clared satisfactory and the trustees are inclined to be somewhat disap pointed over the failure to secure any thing like the appraised value of the property which was fixed at $1,251. 054.24 by the receivers In their re port filed in 1905. "We are not nt liberty to disclose either the names of the parties en tering this last bid or the amount of the bids. They are not satisfactory, however." said J. S. Dean, attorney for the trustees. The Devlin Coal company has the rosl rights of 2.000 seres which Is val lied nt $400,000 and 9.996 acres val ued at $20 per acre or $199,920. Thrs toeether with the mine equipment emploves' dwellings and surface lands pive a" total valuation of $979,721.56. the remaining amount is made up of stocks and bonds ana accounts neiu bv the company. "Thus fnr the bids which were an riounced did not exceed $600,000. one hid was received of $710,000 but the rnr!lt!rvnw surrounding the bid made It imnnrFlhlp rf acceptance. Unless a good price Is secured for this property the unsecured creditors cf the Devlin estate win nor receive cent in the way of dividend?. "I am very much afraid that It Is going to turn "Ut Into a stupendou. failure." said N. H. Loom!, special referee In bankruptcy. "Unless a good price Is secured for the Devlin Coal comnany tie unsecured creditors stand to lose all their money." THAT WASHERWOMAN'S UNION. One Atchison Woman Pays Less for Laundry Than Before.

President Roosoveit arrived here from his sum mer home at Oyster Bay while Wash ington was at dinner, yet a large crowd was at the Pennsylvania rail way station to greet him. Most of the way from Oyster Bay the special train bearing the president, Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and Quentin and the ex ecutive staff, ran ahead of time and therefore a slow trip was made from Baltimore to Washington. In spite-of this the train pulled in three minutes ahead of time. Postmaster General Meyer, Secre tary Strauss, Assistant Secretary Mur ray of the department of commerce and labor, and a number of other fed eral officers met the president 'at his car and accompanied him to his car riage in Sixth street, where it was surrounded with people who cheered lustily. After ordering the top of his carriage lowered the president saw his family seated and he then con versed for a few minutes with the two members of his cabinet. Very little attention was attracted to the president's carriage en route from the station to the White House, through Pennsylvania avenue, but an other large crowd cheered the party as it was driven into the grounds. Secretary Loeb and his assistants were busy during the evening answering correspondence and getting things in shape. The president sent word out to the newspaper men that he had no ap pointments for the evening but would spend the time with his family. An nouncement was made, however, through Mr. Loeb that no cabinet meeting would be held Friday but that the president would have individ ual conferences with those of his cab inet officers who are here. CHARGED WITH FRAUD. Promoters of a Patent Pump Deal Arraigned In Kansas City. Kansas City. Sept. 26. W. M. Myers, H. S. McCowan and J. F. Rudd, promo ters of the Western Pump and Manu facturing company in the Beals build ing, have been arrested charged with using the mails to defraud. The company was organized to pro mote the sale of a pump device. The postofflce department officials estimate that $60,000 worth of business has been done in the last six months. The con cern represented that it was capitalized at $200,000. The company involved sold only the rountv rights to dispose of the pumps. I A company with a capitalization of 1 to be orgamzea later to manuiaciure the pumps. The postofflce inspection department has information that "rights" were sold In all the counties in Kansas except five at $100 each, and that rights have been sold to persons in five or six other counties in Missouri, Nebraska and oth er states. The pump device has a spring and a pendulum like a clock. The spring that could be wound in 15 minutes would run the pump all day, the promoters said. A -nodel of the pump was kept In the office in the Beals building and demonstrations were made for the benefit of prospective buyers. J. C. Koons and M. M. Steele, the postofflce inspectors who investigated the case, charge In the complaint that the model was not a correct representa tion of the pump as advertised, and that the pump itself is a mechanical Impossibility. W. M. Myers, said to be the Inventor of the pump, formerly lived In St. Jos eph. H. S. McCowan came from Snider, Ok. The company has been in business in Kansas City about six months. The prisoners were arraigned before J. M. Nuckols, United States commts, sloner. UPHOLDS ITS RATES. Cnion Pacific Denies That Those on Coal Are Unfair. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 26. In answering the complaint of the Nebraska state railway commission today before the interstate commerce commission against the rates on coal shipments from the west, the Union Pacific railroad denied that the rates on Its lines rrom itocn Springs and Hanna, Wyo., are unrea sonable and unjust and alleged that each and all of these rates are, under all the conditions and circumstances anrrmindlnE said shipments Just, rea- mnahi and lawful and not excessive, not exhorbitant and in violation of the act to regulate commerce or the amen datory or supplemental acts.

Passengers Will Be Admitted to Deadhead Cars. A VICTOItY FOR KYAX. Led the Fight to Bring About Reform. Was Making Arrangements to Begin an Action. W. H. Rossington, representing the Pullman Palace Car company, called at the office of Frank J. Ryan, member of the state board of railroad commis sioners today, and notified him that th-j Pullman company would comply with h 5ard'8 order- and open up th dead head" Pullman cars passing through the state, whenever there is demand for accommodations on thes cars. The only excerjtion which the Pull man COmnanv ri n lua 1, t mat Pullman cars Drenared tor cnoi-iai accommodation and running dead head v r lne Parties ordering the same shall not be opened. The time, limit for the Pullman company to comply with the board s order expires on September 2 7 Fri ?i?yTani .'ad tho company not notified the board that it would "come across," it was the intention of Commissioner Ryan to at once see n w ar,,.m torney for the board, and have a for mal complaint filed against the Pull man company. Mr. Grattan was not in town this morning, and Mr. Ryan was planning to stay over today for the express purpose of meeting him this evening in regard to the Pullman nen tne Pullman company announced its surrender, Mr. Ryan at once left for his home in Leavenworth. Mr. Rossington informed Mr. Ryan that it would require about ten days for the Pullman company to issue tha necessary orders for the opening of its dead head cars, and that pending that time the company desired the board to take no further action in the mattei-. This the board agreed to do. Mr. Ryan will not have any complaint brought against the company if it Is willing to comply with the' board's order. Frank Ryan Is the railroad commis sioner who started the fight on the prosent system of sending dead head cars through the state empty when people are standing up In the crowded coaches, and many are willing to pnv Pullman fare to get a place to sit down, or a good bed to sleep in. There .was considerable doubt ex pressed as to the right of the board to order the' com'panyto open up Its dead head, cars, which are carried through on nearly every train, but Mr. Ryan persuaded the board to try It. He said that it wouldn't do any harm and might do some good. The members of the board were unanimous in, agree ing that it was a reform to be desired. So the order, which was of an infor man nature, and more in the form of a request, was drawn up and sent to the Pullman company. The Pullman company merely sent a" formal ac knowledgment of the order, and noth ing more happened. The board came to the conclusion that the Pullman company had decided to refuse to obey the wishes of the board. Under the new plan which will be in operation on all railroads of Kansas within the next few weeks, a Pullman car must be opened for the accommoda tion of the public, provided there is any demand for accommodations. It is not the intention that the Pullman shall be used free of charge, like a day coach, but, that regular Pullman rates shall be charged. ATCHISON LAW ABIDING. Ex-Mayor Orr Says Saloons WiU Be Kept Closed. James W. Orr, ex-mayor of Atch ison, came to Topeka today to see about getting a pardon for a young Atchison man who is confined in the state reformatory. Mr. Orr "does not approve of the present system of handling the liquor business at Atchison. "We are law abiding people at Atchison," said Mr. Orr, "and when the state says we must close the sa loons, we close them. We don't toler ate joints. It is either open saloons or nothing with us. But if anybody thinks that drinking has stopped at Atchison, he is very much mistaken. I have seen more drunken men on the streets of Atchison during the past month than I saw during the previ ous six years of open saloons. And then the city loses all the revenue it has been getting from the saloons. When I became mayor, I found the city in debt. We paid off all the debt, and when I left office there was $45, 000 in the treasury. It came from the saloon licenses. "But with a town located as Atch ison is it is useless to try to stop the sale of liquor. A man can telephone across the river, and in fifteen min utes can ha-e delivered to his address a drink of liquor, or a case, as he pre fers. Keg parties are of frequent oc currence, with their accompanying drunkenness. These things can't be stopped. There is no violation of law in ordering beer from Missouri, and in having it delivered. But we are decent people in Atchison, and we will keep the saloons closed if that is the order. We won't try to evade the order as is being done in Leavenworth." Stafford's Grain Jubilee.

Land Frauds Seem to Center About th Dead Governor. Boise, Idaho. Sept. 26. Having ac complished much of the tedious work of identifying and placing on the records the papers In about half a hundred of the alleged fraudulent claims filed on timber lands in the interests of the Barber Lumber company, the govern ment attorneys in charge of the prose cution of United States Senator Wm. E. Borah, who acted as attorney for the company began today to unfold in nara tive form details of the alleged con SDlracy which is said to have begun in J 899 and to have continued down to the filing in 1904 of the last of 108 deeds covering 160 acres each of thickly wooded forest land to the lumber cor poration. Witnesses who are willing to confess to alleged wrongdoing and to making false affidavits which they swore were made In taking out timber claims which they without interest transferred to other parties will have largely to do with the presentation of the govern men's case. In his opening statement to the Jury, former Judge Burch of Detroit, the special assistant of the attorney general, sent here to take an active part in the prosecution announced that the govern ment would offer as one of its principal witnesses George S. Long, who it is alleged acted as dummy trustee to give title to claims from "dummies" entry men and transfer the property later to the Barber Lumber company. This lumber company, a w isconsin corpora tion, having its mill in this city, came lnto'being, the government claims, after the alleged frauds were well under way and was organized to hold and make use of the lands sold through the so called conspiracy. "Long will tell you." declared Mr. Riirrh to the Jury, "that he merely loaned his name as a "dummy;" that he never paid a dollar of his own money for any land; that he never saw any of the entrymen turn their claims over to him; that he never knew Senator Borah and that he never employed Senator Borah as his attorney. He will be cor roborated by letters written to him by James T. Barber and Sumner G. Moon of the Barber Lumber company." Former governor of Idaho, Frank Steunenberg, Is promised as the cen tral figure In the government's case. LIGHT SHOWERSFALL. Eleven Hundredths of an Inch of Rain In Topeka. A series of light showers fell last night commencing about 3 o'clock and lasting until daylight, the precipitation amounting to .11 of an inch. Nearly the entire eastern portion of the state was favored In the same way, though the reports from western and central Kan sas indicate that there were no show ers. There was plenty of thunder and lightning during the showers but no wind worth mentioning. The temperatures over the state have been higher today and last night than they were the preceding 24 hours and the forecast Indicates higher tempera tures for tonight and Friday.

Energy Places Topeka School on Higher Plane.' Resignation Not Yet Handed to Trustees. According to a well founded rumor which Is going the rounds of Washburn college circles. Rev. Norman Plass who has been president of Washburn col lege for the past five years will retire from the presidency of the college at the end of the present year. Extensive business Interests In the northwest which require all his time are said to be the cause for his resignation. Dr. Piaes.. has not as yet handed in his resignation as far as is known but the trustees, ef the school are all aware of the fact that he intends to retire be fore 1908. After that time he may be persuaded to remain for a short time as nominal president in order to give the trustees an opportunity to select another president and so ae not to leave the school without a head in the In terim between President Plass and the administration of his successor. A few months ago Dr. Plass became interested in a proposition with Jona than Thomas, A. B. Whiting and many other Topeka people and a company was formed with Dr. Plass as presi dent. The company intends to de velop the lumber Interests in the northwest portion of British Columbia which they have been aDle to secure. The investments which they have made in these timber lands promise large returns Jn a few years, as soon as they can get their plans into opera tion. Dr. Plass is to superintend the work himself and is to be made gen eral manager as well as president of the company which is known as the Norman Plass Lumber company. Dr. Plass is at the present time en gaged in a large campaign throughout the state for the purpose of raising a fifty thousand dollar fund to be turn ed over to the permanent endowment fund of the college. There are de pendent upon the present campaign for fifty thousand dollars, several con ditional gifts which have been prom ised to Dr. Plass and Dr. Plass will stay with the college until these con ditional gifts have been secured. Swells Washburn's Endowment. According to the plans for endowment along which Dr. Plass Is now working the college will nave tzou.uuu more in ihetr endowment fund by January 1, besides a $35,000 gymnasium. The Gen eral Educational society promised Washburn $25,000 providing the city of Topeka should contribute a,uuu, which was accomplished In the cam paign during the past summer. An other $50,000 was promised by Andrew Carnegie conditional upon $50,000 being raised in the state outside of Topeka. Another conditional gift of $50,000 was promised but the $50,000 raised in Kan sas can apply to this as well as to the Carnegie gift- Should all these condi tions be complied with an eastern donor who wishes his name unknown in this connection has promised a $35,000 KncanUbe seen there remains but the fifty thousand dollars in the state out side of Topeka still to be raised before increasing the resources of the collega $285 000 Naturally as Dr. Plass has secured all the conditional offerings from eastern benefactors he is persona -Iy interested in seeing that the condi tions are met. Dr Plass' connection with Washburn dates back several years. As field agent for the college he secured a gift of $56,000 which was used in the build ing of the observatory building and purchase of the large telescope. After the resignation of George M. Herrick as president which occurred in August, 1901, the position of president was va cant until the selection ot President Plass, which occurred on commence ment day, June 10, 1902. Since that time Dr. Plass has Deen in charge of Washburn's financial at fairs. He has accomplished a great deal in his five years of service and has brought about many important results In the history of the school. The new Carnegie library Is perhaps the greatest piece of work which he has accomplished for the college. Three years ago he set out to raise a mil lion dollars In endowment funds, ten years being allotted for the task. When the work in which he is now interest ed is completed, bdoui nair a minion will have been raised in endowment As yet there has been no intimation given to the public In- an official way i mot m ww mm i 7 President Plass of Washburn, Who WH1 Retire January 1. of the resignation of President Plass there has been no rumoi as to who his successor will be. At the time he was chosen for this position the names of Dr. D. M. Fisk, head of the so ciology department, and Dr. Charles M. Sheldon who maintains a great deal of interest in the school, were mentioned. UPTON IS KNOCKING. He Doesn't Think He Has Been Given a Square Deal. London, Sept. 26. Sir Thomas Lipton is bitterly disappointed at the refusal of the New York Yacht club to accept his challenge for another series of races for the America's cup. Sir Thomas said he had been led to believe that if he challenged under the universal rule for races in fho United States, there was a possibility of his challenge being favorably received. He added, however, that he had not given up the hope of sending a yacht to Sandy Hook in 190S, and had already telegraphed to Wil liam Fife, the designer, to come to Lon don for a consultation. There was but one thing -which Sir Thomas was em phatic about, and that, was that he would not challenge under the old rule. One reason for this is that there is no designer of note in Great Britain which includes both Fife and Milne who will design a boat similar to the previous Shamrocks. They say that to do. so would necessitate the production of even a greater freak than those which have already gone to defeat. Besides, the danger of sailing such a boat across the Atlantic must- be taken into ac count and Sir Thomas Is not prepared to again risk the lives of men in such a venture. Sir Thomas, however, authorized the Associated Press to say that he-is pre pared to challenge with a ninety footer under the New York Yacht cjub rules. "In sending the challenge," said Sir Thomas, "I conformed with the deed of gift of the America's cup which says that sloops must be over sixty-five feet on the water line and under ninety feet. I adhered in this respect to size. Inas much as the boat I challenged with would have been at least 76 feet on the water line. This also conforms with the New York Yacht club's rules for the class J boats. I am prepared, now that they have declined to accept my chal lenge for this class of boats, to enter a ninety foot boat under the New York Yaeh club rules. There is no class ex pressly defining such a boat, but the next class H providing for boats eighty two foot rating is capable of producing a boat up to about ninety-four feet on the water line." In explanation of this action chal lenging under the New York Yacht club's new rules. Sir Thomas said: "International rule, which applies to Great Britain, France, Germany. Spain and Portugal. Is. different from the rulo now existing in the United States, which is known as the 'Universal rule' and which has been in use in America for three or four years, and under which a dozen boats have been built, some of the most famous such as the Queen, Effort, Avenger, Isthalena, Winsome and Neuola are well known to yachting men. On the other hand a boat has never been built in Great Britain under the 'Universal rule' so that in making my challenge so I had no pull and was not asking any disadvantage. It was quite the other way. The American designers and builders, with their experience In building boats under the 'Universal rule,' have, all the best of it." SKYSCRAPER FOR K. C. Twenty-Story Building at Tenth anc? Grand to Cost $1,500,000. Kansas City, Sept. 26. A twenty story office building is to be erected by the Great Western Life Insurance company, a Kansas City corporation, on the southwest corner of Tenth and Grand avenue, just across Tenth street from the R. A. Long building. A contract for lease of the ground for ninety-nine years at a rental of $20,- 000 a year was made yesterday be tween the Insurance company and Jemuel C. Gates, Its owner. Only the examination of the abstract of title remains to complete the deal. A Chicago architect who drew plans for the R. A. Long building and the proposed new Union depot will be in the city today to submit drawings for a twenty-story skyscraper to cost about $1,500,000. The architect will submit three drawings. and from these one ''i'l be selected by the di rectors of the company. The new structure will front ninety-five feet on Grand avenue and 115 feet on Tenth street. Crappie Are Biting Now. Atchison, Kan., Sept. 26.--The crappie at Doniphan lake are actually fighting for an opportunity to bite at a hook, say the fishermen who have been there lately. Mart Miller wras up there this week avjd caught several dozen big crap pie. Nearly all of them weighed from half a pound up to a pound. He did not catch one small fish. Other big catches are being reported. Seining has been stopped in the lake, and the fishing will probably continue to be good. I JURYBRBING. An Ohio Man Arrested and Placed in Jail. Charged With Attempting to Influence Member of Jury. IN STANDARD OIL CASE He Admits Making an Offer of 500 to 1,000 In the Event of a Disagreement on a Verdict. Findiay, O., Sept. 26. L. B. William son has been arrested on an Indictment charging him with attempting to briba Chase Thompson, a juror In the 'cast of State of Ohio against the Standard Oil company, which was tried here last June. Mrs. Chase Thompson said that Will iamson approached her and asked her to prrsuaue hr husband to uiVagree and hang the jury in the Standard' Oil case. The final vote of the Jury was eight to tour, the latter opposing con viction. Williamson In a statement made In the county jail today admitted that he bad made the proposition to Mis. Thompson, saying that her husband' would be paid from $500 to $1,000 Eliould the Jury disagree. CHALLEhGTiMlNED. Yacht Club Refuses to Ilace With Lipton on Terms Proposed. New York. Sept. 26. Sir Thomas Lfp ton'3 challenge for a contest for the America's cup In 190S has been declined by the New York Yacht club. Sir Thomas asked tor a race of sloops un der the 68-Ioot rating and the numbers of the club based their refusal to rate on the general proposition that the America's cup represents a trophy for the speediest type of yacht that can be produced on a waterline length of SO feet or under, and that therefore any proposition to limit the size of the boats must be refused. The members of the New York' Yacht club at the meeting called to cohsider Sir xnomas fourth challenge for a cup race voted unanimously to reject the challenge, after Lewis Cass Ledyard, former commodore of the club, made a speech in which he described the deed of gift governing cup contests aa drawn up by George L. Schuyler In 1887. Mr. Ledyard then presented a resolution de claring that the club could not. take the position of limiting, the waterline length of the "boats under the -deed of gift. Commodore Cofneliua -:.Vanderbilt -chairman 'Of the-meeting appointed a cup committee to convene immediate ly after the meeting and prepare a re-. ply to the challenge. The cup commit tee made Up of Commodore Vanderbilt. J. P. Morgan, Lewis Cass Ledyard, JS. D. Morgan, F. G. Bourne, Henry Wai ters, J. Rogers Maxwell, and. C Oliver. Islein held a session which continued long after midnight. The sentiment of the club members at the meeting was that the Reliance, the winner of the last America's cup race was still an unbeaten boat, and that a t race for the blue ribbon of the seas with smaller and therefore slower boats was out of the question. Mr. Ledyard made the only speech at the meeting which was attended by nearly 200 members of the club. He W1U Come Again. London, Sept. 26. Sir Thomas Lipton, although bitterly disappointed at th failure of the New York Yacht club t accept his recent challenge today au thorized the Associated Press to an nounce that he was prepared to chal lenge with a ninety foot boat under the New York Yacht club rules. HASN'THEARD FROM DALE Governor Doesn't Know Whether Ho Will Tako Position. Governor Hoch. Up to a late hour this afternoon, had heard nothing from Judge David M. Dale concerning his acceptance or rejection of the of fice of state tax commissioner. "Judge Dale had not had an op- portunity to talk the matter over with his law partner," said Governor Hoch this morning, "and it may be that Mr. Amidon is delayed 1n re turning to Wichita. At any rate, I have thus far hear nothing from Mr. Dale." TO COMPLETE MOFFATT ROAD. Colorado Line Will Reach Vtah Capital Within Two Years. Denver. Colo.. Sept. 26. Following his return to Denver from his trip t Salt Lake. David H. Moffatt, president of the Denver, Northwestern Pacific, is quoted as saying that Jesse Knight, the Provo promoter, is now associated with him in furnishing needed capital for the further construction of the road and that its completion with the running of trains between Denver and Salt Lake within two years is assureu. Mr. Knight is at the head of the Utah Construction company, which Is to build the line from Provo eastward. He is said to have an income of $400. 000 a year. He and his associates have become heavily Interested In the bonds of the road and will see to tt that the work is done Just as fast as as it can be. Mr. Moffatt has had much to con tend with in getting the money needed to build his road.' He says that for three years he has been laboring to ac complish that which was achieved by his visit to Salt Lake and therefore there is no longer danger that he can not see the road completed in accord once with his original intention. He has arranged for terminals, yards, etc., and. as simultaneously trlth his visit to Salt Lake, came the announce ment that the Denver Rio Grande had Increased its appropriation for terminal Improvements at the Mormoti capital, it is assumed that Mr. Moffatt has reached an understanding with the Gould Interests under which they an to maintain a friendly alliance. What effect It will have upon the transcon tinental situation Is problematical. I I

FavnritA fnr I VUlureu Juan al-- "Tonle Ior Friday bigot s Bout. But Menisic Has W hipped -Two Mighty, Good ,Fighters. Los. Angeles, Sept. 26. Joe Gans, the wonderful negro, on this coming Friday at Los ABgeles-w HI complete a remarkable record. For- the -second time-in one month, he will defend the title. of light weight champion. This is romething new 'In' flstlo history. Champions before now have angaged in more than one tilt of short duration in the course of a month, but there Is no instance on record. Or if there is, it does not come readily to memory, of a champion encompassing two bat tles at championship weight over the championship route of twenty or more rounds In- a calendar, month. There seems to. be. little disposition to take Mr. Memsic seriously. No one is betting on' him to -whip the ne gro; few are willing to risk good money that he lasts half of the twenty scheduled rounds. 'Perhaps.. this is as it should be. Gans is great man; He is a better man than. the- ktnarpin in the class above? 'Mlke1'-MTwin Sullivan of the weJtersnJ Probafbly-he can -whip all of the -midaPej weights as well. So, you see, it's rash,"very rash, to do any speculating with young Mr. Memsio as the card that must turn face up for you to cash. Memsic isn't Buch a bad-fighter, though." He's a lot better than he is given credit for. Take his first fight on the coast. Charley Neary, who all Milwaukee thought was a champion, was his op ponent. Neary went out in the second round. Then they pitted "Cyclone" Johnny Thompson, who had been burning up the far west with brilliant victory after victory, against the Chi cago Bohemian. When the twenty rounds were up both boya were stand ing, but there was a difference in per sonal appearances. Thompson? vould never have done for a beauty exhibit. His face, to begin with: was pounded to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Then there was a burning red line of angry' flesh around the belt to show where heavy blows to the body had taken effect. With Memsic It was all different. Not a mark on him to show that he had been up against the great "Cy clone" for twenty full rounds. He was given the decision and the crowd ap proved. It doesn't follow that befcause Memsic can whip Neary and TKbmpT son that he can humble the mighty Gans as well. Not at all. Many sup pose if the negro really had to do it he could put Thompson and Neary in the .same, ring arid. whip them" both. He would make it. a". Simultaneous, possibly an instantaheou"'6treVatloh, A few rights and lefts to NMiry. a few to Thompson, and the gaff, with those worthies would be all' off. Pos sibly that's the way about Memsic a tap or two with the negro's left, a tap or two with his right, and good-by to little George. But remember this:. Memsic is a fighting demon. He goes in with his head lowered and hie arms working viciously. He takes a thou sand and one chances, but If he lands say. If he should land on Joe Gans, for instance, there'd be a new cham pion right then an,d .there. They say Gans just eats up this kind the kind that comes rushing to him. Well, maybe he does, but many are willing to let the prediction go on rec ord that when the negwj -ftnally: meets

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JO UENAL THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1907. RAILR0AD tlEVS. St. Paul Engaged in Big En gineering Enterprise. Are Pushing 8,000 Foot Tunnel Through Bitter Root Range. WELL UNDER YAY. Western Extension Will Be Completed Within a Tear. Other Items of Interest Railway People. to St. Fanl. Minn.. Sept. 26. Nearly al! of the-prellminary work connected with the driving of the new 8,000 foot tunnel through the main range of the Bitter Root mountains on the Pacific coast xtension of the St. Paul has been com pleted. The location through this dis trict has been finally settled and a few hundred feet of the tunnel have already been driven. Along the St. Joseph river from Fer rel, Idaho, to Lake Chatcolet the line about one-tenth completed. During the Summer all of the right of way has been cleared and all the heavy cuts have been opened: also considerable light grading In the vicinity of St. Joe and St. Maries has been finished. The heavy, cut through the village of St, Maries is Just being opened by steam hovel. The specifications for the main' line call for a 0.3 per cent maximum grade and 3 degrees maximum curves. but along the river between St. Joe and St. Maries considerable temporary line, with some 10 degrees curve, is being built. This line is a detour around a hill which will eventually be pierced by a tunnel. This tunnel will be through solid rock all the way and the tem porary track around it is being built with the intention of having trains in operation by the spring of 1909, some time before the tunnel could be finish ed. Two locating parties are now engaged In locating a branch from St. Maries up the St. Maries valley, through Santa, Idaho, and thence over the divide into the Palouse wheat country. This will be the first branch to be built on the western extension and will tap some of the richest timber land in Idaho. It is now generally admitted, even by officers of the company, that trains will be operated by electricity from the eastern end of the big Bitter Root tun nl westward for about 100 miles down the St. Joe valley and through eastern Washington to some point west of Tckoa. to be determined later. This will probably be the first stretch of trans continental trunk line in the country to be operated by electricity. The power will be obtained from the St. Joseph river between Ferrel and North Fork. The flowage rights have already been secured: during the sum mer the surveys for the location of the dams were completed. Plans are now being drawn and active work will com mence in the immediate feture. It is proposed to build eleven dams across the rlveri-varying in height from 30 to 75 feet. The total development will be 180,000 horse power, making it one of the biggest hydro-electric pro positions in the west. This amount of power will be considerably in excess of the requirements of the railroad, and to dispose of the residue high-tension transmission lines are to be built to Spokane, and also to the Coeur d'Alene mining district In the vicinity of Wal lace. Idaho. Progress during the summer between Tekoa and Ellensburg. Wash., has been made more rapid than In Idaho. Con siderable of the grade has been finish ed, probably 35 per cent. Between El lensburg and the Cascade tunnel the work is in a much more advanced stage. Miles of line, including the tres tles, have been finished. Considerable progress has been made on the steel bridges. Easton, near the eastern end of the tunnel, will be made a division point. Between the tunnel and Seattle the line is nearly finished and it is possible that the track will be laid this winter. Work on the grade between Seattle and Tacoma has been actively pushed all summer and will soon be finished. But little terminal work has been done eith er in Seattle or Tacoma. Roughly speaking, the line between Puget Sound and the Columbia river is 0 per cent nearer completion this fall than Is that portion between the Col umbia river and Butte. It has been announced that the line from i Seattle to eastern Washington, using the tem porary switchback over the Cascade divide will be in operation In time for th next year s eastern Washington wheat crop.

WILL TWO CENT FARE COXTTNCK This Question Is Puzzling Attorney General Hartley. JefTerson City. Mo., Sept. 26. At torney General Hadley says that .up to date he has not the most remote in timation from the railroads of the state as to whether they intend to con tinue the 2-cent passenger fare rate after October 1. It was tacitly agreed at Kansas City that the roads noulo operate under this law from July 1 to October 1, so as to give It a trial. Al though the end of this agreement IS near, yet the representative of the state is not advised as to what courre will be pursued beyond a few days In the future.

Following a lull in the 2-cent-rate lltlgntion. Attorney General Hadley sought to Induce the roads to discon tinue the use of free passes, save to employes. He stated that the issu ance of free passes to others than em ployes was discrimination, such as ts prohibited bv law. and that refusal to complv with this law would result in prosecutions. It was his opinion then that if the roads would discontinue the promiscuous use of passes that their passenger earnings would show an Increase, and thus another prop would be placed under the 2-cent-fare 'at Is expected that the roads wilr continue the 2-cent rate until the case is settled.

Jefferson City, Mo.. Sept. 26. The Missouri Pacific railroad the Western Coal and Mining company, the Rich Hiil Coal company and the Kansas Missouri Elevator company filed in the supreme court yesterday an an swer to the Information of Attorney General Hadley asking for ouster of the franchises of the companies on the ground that the Missouri Pacific owns other corporations in violation of the state laws. The answer admits that the Missouri Pacific owns a majority of the stock in the other companies through a trustee but contends that it does this in accordance with the con stitution and laws of the state and for the purpose of having facilities for enabling it to serve the public prop erly as a common carrier. This case, with another against the Missouri Pacific, Wabash, and Iron Mountain railroads and the Pacific Express com pany, in which ouster is sought on the ground that the Missouri Pacific is the holding company for others and that the Wabash is a parallel line is set for argument at the October term of the Fupreme court en banc.

Cut Down to Normal Basis After a Year of Activity. j Chicago, Sept. 26. After operating for a year on a "rush basis," the Pullman company has reduced its car shops' force from 10.500 to 8.000 men. most of the cutting down having been within the laPt few weeks. It is said the re duction is simply to get back to a nor mal basis, the force having been in creased by about 2.500 men 12 months ago to meet a condition orextraorainary activity. It is believed that the business condi tions of the country are such that no turther reductions will b necessary. A god deal of work is in hand, although the railroads are not giving out as many orders for cars as they were a year ago. Street rai'way companies arc buying cars all the time, and there are some steam ranroans mat are in me market most of the time, although they are not giving out as many fresh or ders, or as large orders, as last year. OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL. Gist of Annual Reports Shows Good Future for Railways. This is the season of annual railroad reports.- Most presidents seize the op portunity to. unburden their souls on the hostility manifested by the admin istration and the public towards cor porations during the last twelve SOLID SUBSTANTIAL FLESH and good Brains are made from Grape-Nuts There's a Reason' 9 Jt.:. 7, V, is months. On the whole, however, the comments are temperate, although the remarks upon the advance in wages and other causes which have contrib uted to higher working' costs are as a rule more pungent.-'- The outlook for gross earnings is in every respect satisfactory, but officers have not yet solved the problem of de creasing the inroads upon the net. The tightness of monev receives attention, and in not a few instances it is an nounced that extensions have been either abandoned or postponed. Conditions have been abnormal, but they are gradually correcting them selves, and though het earnings may suffer for a time, ways and means will no doubt be found to arrive at an un derstanding with legislatures and the people that will insure a reasonabla return upon invested capital. The constitution does not countenance con fiscation. IN OLD MEXICO TOO. Unsettled Freight Rates ExcltiiiR Com. motion There. The railroad-rate question appears to be In as unsettled a condition in Mexi co as in the United States, and to be exciting as much commotion there as here. It has become Important enough to Induce Consul G. W. Shaughnessy, who is stationed at Aguascalientes, to send to the department of commerce and' labor a report on the subject. In this report Consul Shaughnessy states that the contemplated changes m freight rates, which were to have taken effect on August 9, are still pending, wait ing the approval of the Mexican tariff commission, as all railroad rates in Mexico must be submitted to the gov ernment before tnev may go Into effect The new classification and freight tariff were published and distributed, but the many serious objections raised against them have so far prevented their being approved and have been the means of commencing what promises to be a warm controversy between the railroads and the mining and smelting interests. The mineral interests are foremost in combating the proposed raise in these rates. In some cases the rate on certain classes of ore have been advanced as high as 169 per cent, while the average increase is as nign as 5i per cent, ac cording to the distance transported. As the greater part of the Mexican mines are of the low rainer tnan of the high grade, the ores now being shinned will not produce enough revenue under the proposed rates to warrant their opera tion. Quoting an instance-, a company, of which the operators are niericans.. has expended nearly $5,000,000 In a number of yenr, without any profit from their operations, to bring their properties to a profitable basis. Large concentration works have been ereeted, by which four tons of crude ore- mav be reduced to one ton of concentrates for shipment to the j'mlte-o. These- concentrate will, bv th?1r rnture. come under the first class of freight rates, ad therpbv inflict an increase of over $1 Mexican per ton. The mines hve practically- arrived at a profitable hisis, producing at this time about 12.000 tons cf ore monthlv. but the proposed freight rates will place them where they were before and probably cause ther abandonment.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY wnth his son after the men quit work for the purpose of making an inspec tion. CAME HOME ON LVSITANI V. A McPherson Man Relates Some of Hi Ocean Voyage Experience. McPherson, Kan., Sept. 26. The Republican says: C. O. Sederlund arrived home la.st night from Sweden where he spent five months visiting his two brothers and many old friends. It was twenty-five years almost to the day since he left his home across the sea and he found the change a great surprise. Not one in twenty-five of his former friends were still living in Sweden. Mr. Seder lund surprised his brothers and it was some time before he was recognized. He spent a greater part of his time at his old home in Smoland, in the south ern part of Sweden. His visit also took him all over Sweden and Norway, as far north as Stockholm. Coming home Mr. Sederlund was a passenger on the Lusitania, the largest ocean liner in the world, which was making Its first trip across the ocean. There, were over five thousand passen gers on the ship including three thous and two hundred first, second and third class pasengers, thirteen hundred and fifty steerage passengers and the ship's crew, numbering about eight hundred men. The ship is seven hundred and ninety feet in length and is a floating palace. The accommodations were elegant and the voyage across the ocean was unusually pleasant. During all five days of the voyage the sea was as calm as a pond and the big liner was able to make rapid headway. The average speed was twenty-five knots an hour, which -Is about twenty-nine miles... The ship's, greatest record for twenty-four hours was five .hundred and seventy-five knots. In mid-ocean the four propellers, which are turned by gigantic turbine engines of over seventy thousand horse-power, chum the waters with such force that a river of foam trails the vessel for a long dis tance. In travel the movement can not be noticed by passengers in the main part of the ship but the throbbing of the great turbines causes a vibration in the rear part of the ship. Save for this, the passengers have nothing to remind them that they are riding across the briny deep, instead of livins In an inland pleasure city. During Mr. Sederlund's visit In Sweden he very seldom had the pleas ure of selng a noonday sun. The-sky was generally. loudy and there was a great deal of rain. Nevertheless his visit was very pleasant and he succeed ed in adding about thirty pounds to his weight. AT THE SALINA FAIR. Display of Farm Products Especially Good for an "Off Year."

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives tne run oi r,h rpnfirl of that exeat news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topka. Th. nma is received In The State Jonr- nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Oklahoma la a pretty fair chunk of a jtate right at the start. By the way, has our equinoctial storm been delayed In transmission, or Is it coming by freight? The railroads almost made us believe their little joke about not complying !rith that 2-cent fare order. The opposition of the small-bore poli tician to the commission plan of gov ernment is cne of its good points. Only ten days more and we can ride all over Kansas for two cents a mile. Now don't all rush on the cars at once. Milk is r.ine cents a quart in New "York. And perhaps there is some ques tion about its being milk, even at that price. But then, in this game of bluff with the railroads. Governor Hoch held the best hand. He was backed by the power of luiblic sentiment. Query: Did Senator Long advise the railroads to be good and give Kansas a 2-cent fare, after all? If so, the senator should have due credit for it. When Mr. Rockefeller said he could not afford oysters, perhaps he was con templating the place where that $106. 000,000 evaporated from his oil stock. Another good thing about buying Welsh coal for the navy: It will keep the coal trust from claiming that the r.avy is responsible for the famine. Xo man is more "in the public eye' these days than Secretary Taft. And Incidentally it might be noted that the public has a good sized eye, to accom modate Taft. Huh! What's this? "The Marion Headlight." says the Lawrence Jour nal, "is talking Stubbs. It has been a good while since a Marion paper has talked Stubbs." Once upon a time there was a Demo cratic party in Kansas, and there has been some doubt as to what became of It. It has been located at last: It moved to Oklahoma. It is really no great surprise that the two-by-four politicians are against the commission plan of city govern ment. They would naturally be ex pected to line ud that way. The American Bankers' association objects to the indiscriminate use of the word "trust." But it is refusal of the bankers to indiscriminately trust is that works the real hardship. "On a New Tack." is the heading of a. story that Governor Hoch will try to secure freight rate reductions next. But this tack is liable to make the railroads Jump, and not the governor. We Judge from a perusal of the news columns that the recent letter of the railroad board to the Pullman com pany "has been duly received and con tents noted." and that's the end of It. The action of Nebraska Republicans In formally endorsing Taft In their state convention need occasion no Bur prise. It certainly could not be ex pected that Nebraska would endorse Foraker or Fairbanks. E. B. Jewett is handing out passes to the newspaper men this week, but unfortunately they are good only for the Wichita fair and say nothing that will cause a hard-hearted railroad con ductor to pass on without money and without price. Mr. Fairbanks Is reported to have found on hli western trip "a prejudice against the third term." But that pre Judice is a positive endorsement as compared to the feeling against ad vancing a vice president, if he cornea from Indiana. The Nebraska Republicans have de clared In their state platform for "more equitable" transportation rates. Arc not Nebraska Repubulicana going to the extreme? Should they not be satisfied with merely equitable rates and not demand that they be "more equitable r A Chicago anarchist was held up and robbed of $400 Sunday night, and he Immediately complained to the police. But what use has an anarchist for the police? The anarchist In theory would do away with all law. Including that against robbery, bo why should he com plain If one of his fellow anarchists, possibly, acta as though, there were no ucb iawf A SEW REFORM. The attitude of federal courts toward state laws promises to become a ques tion of national Importance. The dis position of some federal Judges to en Join the operation of state statutes at the request of corporations has brought forth a great amount of discussion since the clash In North Carolina, and now the Republican state convention in Ne braska has adopted the following: "We favor the enactment of a fed eral law and. If necessary, amendment to the federal constitution which will forbid the federal courts from issuing writs of injunction against state officers charged by law with the enforcement of state statutes." There are, of course, two sides to this question. Heretofore the federal courts have been inclined to see only the cor poration side, and that Is what has brought out this protest. When a cor poration has asserted that a law was unjust to It, some federal Judge has usually been ready to step In and en- Join the law temporarily, losing sight of the fact that If the corporation Is wrong the court's action is unjust to the public. For instance. In contesting the reduc tion of transportation rates the rail roads usually assert that such reduc tions are in violation of the federal con stitution In that they deprive the rail roads of their property without due process of law. But on the other hand. if the reduced rates are really fair, the private individual who Is compelled by the railroads and by the courts to pay more is also robbed of his property without due process of law. This is the point the federal courts sometimes lose sight of. When a legislature passes a law or a public board makes an order, it should be considered fair and legal until proven otherwise, and if the railroads wish to hold such an order or law In abeyance they should be compelled to protect each Individual from loss In case their contention should be found to be wrong- Tnls would manifestly De prac tically Impossible if it were necessary In the two-cent fare cases, for In stance to give a bond to each person to whom a passenger ticket was sold covering the excess charged. Possibly some other method could be devised, perhaps by the railroad giving a bond to the state large enough to cover the aggregate of all excess charges, and then compelling them to give a receipt with each ticket for the excess charged. which receipts should act as checks upon the bond in case the state won. This would protect the public, but It would doubtless be a great amount of trouble and lead to complications. Judge McPherson took a sensible ac- ioi; in the rate controversy In Missouri, when he suggested that the railroads try the new rate law and find out by practical experiment If It is confiscatory before they ask to have the law enjoin ed. If more federal judges were dis posed to follow Judge McPherson's ac tion, there would be less agitation along the line of the Nebraska resolution. Possibly the Nebraska Republicans are a trifle radical. Perhaps there should be some proviso whereby the federal courts could be allowed to en join state laws If the public were duly protected from loss in case the law should prove valid. But the Nebraska resolution shows the temper of the public, and perhaps a few federal Judges will not be so brash in the future about Betting aside laws passed In the interest of the people. Just because some cor porations ask them to do so. has an annual output worth $15,411,033, and Ohio comes Blxth, with $10,961,527. Together these six states turn out 72.8 per cent of all the- paper manufactured In the United States. KANSAS COMMENT JOURNAL ENTRIES If the farmers can not keep down their bank accounts to respectable fig ures by buying automobiles, thy might invest in a piece of new mil linery for their wives. Notwithstanding all the mean things we say about old Mr.Rockefeller, we would much rather endorse his note than put our name on the notes of some other people whom we do not abuse. After looking over the Oklahoma election returns we Judge that the Kansas Republicans who moved to Oklahoma must have voted the Demo cratic ticket.

Our Idea of a srreat curiosity this year would be a 'woman putting up peaches. JAYHAWKER JOTS PIE AS A CTVILIZER. When Professor Peelgarlic, through the medium of Colonel Thomas Ben ton Murdock and the El Dorado Re publican, announced to a waiting world his theory that pie is a great civilizing agent, he little Imagined, probably, the evidence that would be massed In support of that theory. It Is a popular theory, and proof of Its truth is produced from the four cor ners of the earth. Here is the testi mony added by the experienced and philosophical editor of the Los An geles Evening News: "Before scoffing at the claim of that El Dorado (Kan.) professor who attributes the lack of civilization among the American Indians to their Ignorance of the art of making pie, it were well to pause for reflection. We believe it was the Sage of Concord who used to eat pie for breakfast, and everybody knows that Carlyle was In ordinately fond of the patient Jane's apple tarts and turnovers. As between pie and puppy dog soup, we Incline to the former inducer of indigestion, having once, entirely inadvertently, in Sitting Bull's camp, on Grand river, partaken of the In dian delicacy. It was prepared hv Our old friend, the car shortage, has put in an appearance in the wheat belt. Rice county has collected $1,115 for hunters' license since the new game law went into effect.' More proof that the green bug got the wheat crop: The big, mills at both Lyons and Sterling .are running day and night. "A man," says the Beat'tie Eagle, "can run a store without advertising, and he can wink at a pretty girl in the dark, but what would be the use?" John D. Rockfeller's declarations that he has nothing whatever to do with earning the dividends of Stan dard Oil except to put up the money leads Roy Tapley to believe that Son John's Bible class would find highly appropriate that popular hymn, "Ev erybody Works But Father." Atchison Globe: The death of the camel at the circus grounds last night has caused a great revival of that old joke. It is being said that the camel understood that the circus was to be in Kansas some time, and as a camel can't go longer than eight days with out a drink, it lay down in discourage ment and died. An Augusta boy is having more than his share of hard luck. Several months ago he fell off a house and broke both arms. Later he fell from a hay rack and broke his nose. Last week he fell out of a hay mow, breaking two bones in his left leg, while a pitchfork that came sliding after him ran through his right foot. Boastful "personal" from the El Dorado Republican: Lord Alfred Har rison of Murdock township and niece. Miss Ethel Harrison of London, Eng land? who Is here with her mother visiting Lord Alfred, came to town this morning and will visit friends for a short time. Miss Harrison is as bright as she is handsome and is hav ing a ripping time visiting her Yan kee cousins. Bent Murdock: A Whitewater, But ler county, Kansas, U. S. A., farmer has an alarm clock that "goes off" at 4:30 of mornings. This starts a gaso line engine, which tilts the hired girl's bed. spilling her on the floor. It also "dumps" the beds of the hired men so that everything Is started going. This engine pumps the water for the house and barn, turns the corn into each horse's feed box. starts the kitchen fire, turns the grindstone, runs the washing machine, does the churning. saws the wood, peels the potatoes, opens the door of the chicken house, swings the gate for the ducks and geese to go to the creek, runs the pat ent milker, while mixing an eyeopener for the old man when he is taking his morning bath. There doesn t seem to be anything too good for a Butler county farmer. GLOBE SIGHTS. A REFRESHING STATEMENT The Wichita Beacon has an editorial based upon a statement made by Con gressman Lilly -ef Connecticut to the effect that when a congressman votes tor an appropriation because the money is to be expended in his district when he would not have so voted if it had been going elsewhere, he encourages graiung una is indirectly a grafter him self. It is refreshing to hear a congressman denounce such a practice. Millions of aoiiars are appropriated every year, not for public welfare but to secure Jobs for tne constituents or tne congressman The river and harbor bill is one of the principal sources of grafting. During a recent year an appropriation of $300,000 was made in one bill for improvement of tne navigation or the Big Sandy river in Kentucky, a river that, has no more water in it than the Smoky Hill at Sallna. Millions of dollars are poured into tne narbors of unimportant sea- coast towns because the congressman or senator representing the district or state in which these towns are located can serve a political purpose by so doing. The ordinary congressman thinks very little about the public welfare. If he can make his constituents believe that he has "done something for his district," by securing a federal job for some of his constituents, he feels that he is render ing public service. A good many con gressmen want their constituents to believe that they have done a good many things which they do not do. Fre quently a departmental officer will have under consideration the Improving of a harbor, the enlarging of a fort or some other line of federal improvement the congressman will go and urge that this be done and then asks the departmental officer to write to Mr. John Jones of Jonesboro. stating that Congressman Blank had called and urged favorable action on the departmental matter In which Mr. Jones was interested. Then some of these fellows will find out in advance what a department is going to do and write Immediately to the people who are Interested and advise tnem that at his earnest request the depart ment has finally consented to do the thing that they desired. These are some of the tricks which politicians resort to to perpetuate them selves In office, and many of them are so successful that they create the im pression that they are of great value to their constituents. The congressman is the best public servant, who stands for the great prin ciples in national legislation, and who first serves the public welfare. It is of far more importance to the American people to have good, wise and whole some laws than that some individual should have a profitable Job. Sallna Journal. GET WHAT THEY WANT. The Nebraska papers seem to like their new experience with a primary election law. The phase that pleases them is that when a vote is cast it ts counted that way and can not be traded off to promote the interests of any politician.

THE EVENING STORY FROM OTHER PENS his Chief Antelope's daughter, a young) up? From the Atchison Globe. No man ever told another all secrets. A guest, like a fish, will spoil with three days' keeping. The beauty of the bride lasts no longer than the grief of the widow. Next to a dog in a warm room, nothing smells so bad as an old pipe. Some of the Atchison girls are so pretty that they would do very well as angels. There is one good thing that men are always willing to give away: a good Joke on the other fellow. People should be charitable with each other, for the reason that there Is a story on every man in town. They talk about the cranberry mer chant being busy, but did you ever see a woman when she was making cats- Sioux belle, with the most bewitching line of vermillion parting her shiny black locks, and several fascinating streaks of blue and yellow ochre criss crossing her bronzed cheeks. The de coction was not unlike rabbit stew. and. but for the cruel hint of Chief Bull Head, who, a few days later, gave Pitting Bull his coup de grace, all would have been well. But the re miniscence is painful, even after a lapse of years. "Pink teas in tepees are as foreign to the best social circles on the In dian reservation as is pie, another in dubitable evidence of the truth of the Kansas professor's theory. The thin steel knife at the aged squaw's belt line has done equal service in picking clean a buffalo bone as in scalping a hated paleface, but never, never has it been employed in carving quarter sec tions of the ubiquitous pie, that great promoter of civilization. The Kansas student of ethics is. undenia bly, correct in the assumption." Wisconsin, from which state most western newspapers get their paper supply, is the fourth state In the Union as a producer of paper, its annual out put being valued at $17,844,174. The three states which surpass Wisconsin In this respect are New York, which heads the list, with a valuation of $37. 750,605, Massachusetts, a good second, with $82,011,347, and Maine, whose an nual product la worth $21,851,114. Penn sylvania, the fifth paper-making state. There are some people who think about a good deed, and then take credit to themselves for having done it. Hew a thief must laugh to read In the papers that the $5 watch he stole the night before is valued at $200 by Its owner. Many women submit willingly when their children impose on them, but they roar lustily If their husbands at tempt it. Young girls begin half they say with. "When I get married." Married women start everything with, "When I was a girl." Some people have a way of saying: "He is a college graduate," which In dicates that in their opinion that is all that Is necessary to make a man. If the question. "Why are you get ting married?" were asked in every wedding ceremony, one of the parties would be sure to back out on account of the answer of the other. At least there is one good result of that domestic trouble of the Earle family: That word "affinity" has been so dragged in the mire it will never dare intrude in polite society again. We always did dislike the word. With the announcement that Daughter Is about to come out, there is one not made, but which goes Into effect, that Mother, owing to the greater work entailed by Daughter going into society, will now have to go further back in. A man connected with this office is trying to quit the use of tobacco and It is pitiful to see him struggling. His son, also connected with the office, is trying to learn the use of tobacco.

The thing most needed now to es tablish confidence ts to have pig Iron go down to $17 a ton as soon as pos sible, stay at that figure for a month or two and then advance to $18. The next thing needed is a stopping of in vestment in new building enterprises until there is a sufficient accumula tion of profits of growing Industries to supply the market with loanable funds. There seems to be no reason why the depression which is now set ting in should not De a snort one, sim ilar to the one that followed the Grant Ward failure In 1884 and the undi gested securities panic in 1904. An other big panic is not due until 1913, and if that one comes along on time, it will not be as great a one as the one of 1893, which itself was not as great as the one of 1873. The accumulation of stored wealth In this country is tending to make the effects of finan cial panics less disastrous than here tofore. Iron Trade Review. A PUNCHING BAG.

One day Judge Harlan, of the su preme court, who lives near Secretary Taft, at his summer home in Canada, was twitting the big man on his health. "I saw the doctor going over to your place yesterday Taft," drawled the old Kentuckian. "Y-c-s," answered the secretary, "You see, I had a stomach ache, and, as my mother is the only one who can cure my stomach when It s unruly, and, as she isn't here why, I had a doctor in to see About it." "Stomach ache?" roared the old judge. "Had to have a doctor to cure a little stomach ache?" Taft unbuttoned his coat. The ac tion was significant. "When I have a stomach ache. Judge Harlan," he said In his most serious tone, "you cannot, you must not, call It a 'little' stomach ache." At St. Paul, Minn., when Secretary Taft was waiting for a deputation of welcoming citizens, he happened to see a little boy go by. riding on donkey. "That reminds me, said he, turn ing to the, mayor of the town, "of a ride I once-had In the Philippines. I had to get up to a village on the side of a mountain about twelves miles dis tant, and the only animal I could find to ride was a diminutive burro, scarcely half as large as that one there." The mayor gazed at the 300-pound narrator with a suspicious eye. Did you ride him?" he asked. "Certainly." pursued Mr. Taft easily. "I rode him up there in some thing like an hour and a half. Then having transacted my business, I turned the animal about and went on farther up Just a minute," Interrupted the mayor. How big was this donkey. anyway?" "Oh, I should judge that his head would reach about to my vest pocket." "And he weighed? "Oh. about 150 pounds." The mayor did some mental arith metic. "Taft" he announced at length, "you are a nature faker." Secretary Taft is not letting out much information as yet concerning the possibilities of a Taft presidential boom, but a good story is told by a prominent New York attorney wno recently had occasion to visit Mr. Taft at Murray bay, Quebec. 'On the porch of the secretary's summer home."' said the lawyer, "there is a large piece of matting, presented to him by the Filipinos in memory of the days when Mr. Taft was president of the Filipino commis sion. Into this matting, I noticed, were woven the words: 'Al Presidente. Mr. Taft.' "Were you ever a president?" I asked him casually. "Just once," was the laconic reply. "And how did it sound to be called President Taft?" I continued, feeling that I was on the trail of some ex clusive Information. "Well." said the man who has been aptly called Little Sunshine, "it doesn't sound half so bad as the word 'welcome' over the door of a Jail." Portland Oregonian. -.'lie Schoolmaster. (By Herman Lewis. There was no doubt that farmer Watkins was the richest man at Rob inson's Corners, and there was no doubt that his nineteen-year-old daughter was the best looking and best educated girl for five miles around. In one way that was saying much, for the other farmers were poor and the other girls rather plain and unedu cated, but in another way it amounted to very little to an outsider. The schoolmaster was an outsider. He had come from a distance of fifty miles to teacn tne winter term at the corness, He was a young man of twenty-three, slim and pale faced, and the "big boys" who were to attend the term smiled and chuckled at sight' of him There were half a dozen who "reck oned" they could stand him on his head if he got too fresh. It was farmer Watkins who engaged the young man. He was president of tne school board, and what ne saia went. It was his daughter Jennie who decided him In this. She was his only child and he was a widower, and what she said also went. There were also a dozen other applicants, and she threw her influence for Walter Crane for a very curious reason. He was tne only one among the applicants who had the manners, of a gentleman, and the only one who appeared to her to be her su perior in education. The school didn't require and had never had a gentle man for a teacher. It did not require and never had had an educated man. The pupils were a rough and ignor ant lot, attending when they pleased and doing about as they pleased. Sometimes the farmers' sons of eigh teen, strong as horses and rough as bears, had broken up the school af ter four weeks: sometimes they had let It continue until .spring. Some times the "big girls" had rushed the master and rolled him in a snowdrift and shattered his dignity, and some times they had been content to turn the schoolroom into a sewing bee and laugh at him as he protested. And now they were going to try a new teacher, and Jennie Watkins had plans to make him trouble from the very start. She had no- particular dis like, but she wanted to see him taken down a peg several pegs. He had too much assurance too much confi dence in himself. Why, at the exam ination of candidates at her father's house, when Mr. Crane had been asked what ocean surrounded Switz erland he smiled and replied none at all, when she knew as well as could be that it was the Atlantic. She didn't say anything then, but she saved It up for some future time.

That young man was pretending that he knew alto gether too much. He was even con descending a little to her father, and he wasn't paying half enough atten tion to her. Mr. Crane secured board at the house of a farmer's widow and opened his school. He announced that it was to begin at 9 a. m. Heretofore it had begun at almost any hour to suit the scholars. He made this announce ment without consulting farmer Watr kins, and without farmer Watkins con suiting his daughter. This was an other sign of his independence. He insisted on having dry Instead of green wood for the big box stove, and he insisted on repairs to the stove to carry the smoke away. There was no blackboard, and he made and painted one. Some of the benches were broken ,and ho asked that they be re paired. There were some panes of glass needed in the windows, a lock on to be licked out of the neighborhood. If he heard, he went his way the same as before. Friday afternoon was th .ime appointed, and Will Hayes was ;he champion selected. When school was called again after dinner there were several visitors, and on the A pocket dictionary settled the dis stead of calling up the class in geog raphy, the teacher took from his desk a pair of boxing gloves and said: "There are several young men here who would probably like to learn the art of boxing. The man who is a man stands up squarely instead of roughing It. Will, wouldn't you like to step out doors and put these on with me?" Will said he would. That's what he was aching to do. Ten minutes later he was aching to get the gloves off. He had been Jolted and Jarred and knocked head over heels until he thought his head was as big as a bar rel. It had all been done In a good natured way, but beneath it he read the lesson, and that night he said to one of his cronies: "Say, if that feller should turn him self loose once, we'd be little lambs longside of him. One of his swata would knock a barn off its underpin ning." That put a quietus on any further thoughts of Insurrection, and Miss Jenny said to herself that she hated the young man from the depths of her heart. He called and corrected her grammar, and her hate was intensi fied. He called and found fault be cause her verses made "sorrow" rhyme with "tailor," and she stamped her foot. The girls wouldn't try an other rush and the boys refused to tackle him. while her father said that things were going better than ever be fore. In this emergency she turned to herself. There was a small lake on which the teacher used to skate for an hour in the evening. Sometimes he had company and sometimes he was alone. The family ax and the family daughter might have been missed just at dusk one evening. Later on, the family daughter might have been asked the cause of her restlessness. She was tip and down all over the house, and she finally put on her hood and cloak and went out into the night. It was she with a long pole who pulled the teacher out of the air hole into which he had skated and was in dan ger of drowning. It was she who wrapped her cloak around his shiver ing form as men carried him to her father's house. It was she who acted as nurse for the next three days, and it was she who hid her face In her hands and said: "I'm an awful wicked girl. I cut that air hole in the lake, hoping you would skate Into it and be drowned." "But I wasn't, you see," replied Crane. "No-o-o-o, and I'm so glad!" "And so am I.

A young lady who had returned from a tour through Italy with her father, remarked that her father had liked all the Italian cities, but espec ially he liked Venice. "Ah, Venice, to be sure," said the friend to whom she was relating some of the adventures of their trip. "I can readily understand that your father would prefer Venice, with Its gondolas, and St. Mark's and Michael Angelos "Oh, no," said the young lady, "it wasn't that. But he could sit in the hotel, you know, and fish out of the window." QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The roofer always overestimates his work.

His call did not last longer at the Watkins' hou3t than elsewhere. He was gentlemanly, unembarrassed and a ready talker. and Jennie had Just begun to wonder if she woman t like him after all, when he picked up some poetry she had been writing and had left where he was certain to see it, and criticised her rhymes and the spelling of three or four different words. He did worse. He suggested that she attend school, and failing in that, he would assist her of an evening now and then. The girl restrained herself from killing him on the spot, but she said to herself that his career would be brief and full of tribulation. She went to her father for sympathy, but after she had stated her case her surprise was unbounded to hear him reply: "Well, mebbe you do make a mis take here and there. This eddecation is such a tangled up thing that I can't see how anybody ever spells 'cat' twice alike. I guess that young feller sorter knows what he's about." The custom in district schools all over America is to give a new master a week befcre proceeding to let him un derstand who runs that schoolhouse. The rule was followed in this case. There were those who thought there would be no outbreak. Miss Jennie Watkins was not one of them. She hadn't exactly conspired, but she had had something to say to several of the big boys and girls. Just a week and then five or six gaunt and overgrown girls "rushed" the master. He took it as a joke, and it was the girls who were buried in the snowdrifts. Mr. Crane said that he would dismiss school any day for fifteen minutes to enable the pupils to indulge in ath letic exercises. Mis Jennie was In dignant when one of the bedraggled girls came along and stated the result of the rush. She went to her father about it, and arter tninking It over he answered: "Mebbe it wasn't the most dignified est thing that ever happened, but I can't see where It's going to do any hurt. If the gals begun it. then It wasn't his fault." That night the schoolmaster dropped In at Robinson's to see about having some clothes pegs put up. Miss Jen nie was ready for him. There were three or four others present, and at a proper moment she asked him to dem onstrate a certain example In mathe matics. "Excuse me," he smilingly replied, "but you pronounce the word as 'de-mon-strate. It is dem-on-strate." "I beg your pardon." "And I beg yours." Ietic exercises. Miss Jennie was In pute In the teacher's favor, and then and there the-husky son of a farmer, who was present, whispered to the chagrined girl that he'd lick the teach er before Saturday came again, and she didn't say a word against it.

Wholesale Uquor Case in District Court Not Yet Completed. YOLIVA GIVES UP. Announces to His Followers That He Will Lea to Zion City. Chicago. Sept. 25. "Wilbur Glenn Voliva. who successfully grasped the reins of government of Zion City from the hands of John Alexander Dowle and expected to reign in his stead af ter the death of Dowie. last night an nounced to l.OOi) of his followers in that city torn by many factions, that he had given up the fight there. At the same time he announced that he had lost the options upon the land in New Mexico, where he ex pected to found a new colony, but would buy property adjacent to Zion City and found the colony there. The speech of Voliva was his swan song so far as Zion City is concerned. He said that he had received format notice from John C. Haley, the receiv er of Zion City, to vacate the prem ises which he has used as office and the publication plant of his official paper within thirty days. He said that he would get out and would not pay another dollar to the receiver. Voliva was bitter against Mr. Haley and branded his treatment as persecu tor, X explanation of how he lost the option on the lands in Xew Mexico was vouchsafed by -VoJIvar- It was renerallv understood that he haa from the court which caused his ap pearance at the scene of the Borah trial also cited the ex-senator to bring with him all papers, letters, telegrams, and even carbon copies of all corre spondence he possesses bearing upon trie operations of the Barber Lumber "company. TO COLONIZE NEGROES. Taking of testimony was continued in this city. Matt Cave, his partner, against C. W. Curtis, who was the agent of the Pabst Brewing company t nthls city. Matt Cave, hia partner. and Charles H. Rigby. an employe or! tnetrs. in wtucn triey are charged with j violating the prohibitory law in the. sale of beer at wholesale to druggists on fifty counts. It is likely that the case will not be concluded until late this afternoon and it may not be giv en to the jury until tomorrow. William F. Lake and Albert Mar shall, druggists, who have had deal ings with the Pabst agency here were among the witnesses on the stand this morning. The line of testimony se cured from them by J. J. Schenck. the county attorney, was similar to that secured from the other druggists who have been on the stand. They testified to ordering beer over the phone which stood in Curtis name and some times from solicitors. They told of paying for this either In checks made payable to Curtis or in cash to collectors who came around. During the examination of the las; few druggists who have been on the stand a rather interesting thing has developed. Charged Jointly with Curtis. Cave and Rigby, who are on trial was Wil lis Clough, who is also known under the name of Chubb and this was the name he seemed to be best known by the druggists. Chubb has never been arrested and so is not on trial. And the druggists have been testifying generally when pinned down as to some individual of the Pabst agency with which they did business that Chubb was the man. Among other witnesses called today were F. P. Elmore, cashier of the Shawnee State bank and H. C. Mc Kinley. bookkeeper of the bank. They were called for the purpose of identifying checks of druggists made payable to Curtis an dwhich were en payable to Curtis and which were en in the bank. cT Y s4&A x- JV J -mm ii f f B T 7 ,'f! v jsir.T Jr. i TICKETS ARE SETJXXG FAST.

He has been losing ground rapidly in the last year, hrt his friends believed they might win in enough dis tricts to force a compromise with Murphy and the "regulars." McClellan. who Is a son of the late General McClellan of civil war fame, was nominated by Tammany to give it a front of respectability in the cam paign at the close of the administration of Seth Low. Mr. "Low represented the reform element in New York and had closed many saloons and questionable resorts. After McClellan became mayor he did not open the saloons and estab lish the graft system at the demand of Tammany's faithful and the "regula tors" began to undermine him. Later, when he did permit New York to be ""wide open," it was too late to concili ate Tammany. His enemies were too powerful and too well established to be beaten and McClellan still retained enough power to be dangerous in many ways. So the vote in the last primarte3 was designed to crush him finally. STATEMENT FROM WASHBURN". Faoulty Did Not Authorise Criticism of Newspapers. Says Mrr Greenwood. The following statement was made by L. H. Greenwood, one of the trustees cf Washburn college: "Thr college authorities regret very much the publication of an article in this week's Review which appears to be a criticism of the daily papers in To peka for their lack of notice of the opening of the school at Washburn. The college appreciates to the fullest extent the enthusiastic and magnificent support given to the college when it raised its J75.000 in Topeka last spring. We have not farsretten the service ren dered by the daily papers and it apparent- to every one that Washburn could not have raised that money with out the hearty and loyal support of the dailv papers. "The Washburn Review is edited and published entirely by the students. No member of the faculty or other college authorities has anything to do with the publishing of the paper and the articles appearing in the paper are never seen bv the faculty before they are publish ed The Journal article stated that the editorial in the Review was published evidently with the approval of thefacul tv which is incorrect. Washburn has no press aent as seme cf the other colleges have, which no doubt accounts for the special notices being made of the onening of some of the other col leges."

THE MEXICAN MIXES. For Individuality They Beat All Other Hybrids. "It is trite to say that mules are brainy, but the mules of Old Mexico. I believe, have something on all mules the world over for individuality of character, and. if I may be credited, a sort of prescience of their own." said a man who has spent many years in the neighboring republic. "A Mexican mule will do just so much work and no more. They're used for all sorts of purposes down there. We vastly prefer them to horses for riding over the mountains, on account of their instinct for the correct path without being guided and their un deviating endurance. The Mexican mule has twice as much of what you miftht call getthereness as the horse. He'll stick at his amble without a break until he has done what he knows to be his day's stint, and that stint is invariably a big one. "But you can't get a Mexican mule to do anything more than vfaat he knows to be hi day's work. Such a thing would be impossible. The rid ing mule is fully aware of the dis tance, down to the road, he is supposed and required to traverse in the pro gress of one traveling day. and all the sharp sticks or goads or dynamite on earth won't get him to do a bit more than what he knows to be the correct athektom ems. mt.SlTST. Bh Phones 9-53. TUT Iff i5T 0B4UTV CTSAUiSI&CISAR always reliable. distance. "The Mexicans have got a peculiar saying in connection with this stub bornness of the Mexican mule when he is asked to do more in a day than he knows to be right. Ton ask a Mexican, for instance, how far it is. by muleback, to such and such a point. "Two days' Journey If you are not rushed, but three days if you are in a hurry.' the Mexican will reply. "He mean Uuit if you don't ask any more of your mule than you should ask of him the mule will be able to make the trip you have in mind within the two days. But if in a hurry ind not acquainted with the ways of Mexican mules, you attempt to drive the animal he'll soldier on you. will that mule, and delay and hold you at every stage of the game once he finds that you are trying to make him do more than the contract and the tradition calls for. and tn con sequence the Journey will take you three days."

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAIrTHUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER .26, 1907. ocielv An Informal subscription dance at the Country club last night was at tended by Mr. and Mrs. William E. Drechsel, Mrs. Everett H. Dallas of the City of Mexico. Miss Floyd Robenson, Miss Louise Kellam, Miss Helen Otis, Miss Helen Brown. Miss Maud Grimes, Miss Nellie Millspaugh, Mr. Guilford Dudley. Mr. Dana MacVicar. Mr. Bert Retd. Mr. Fraser Cole. Mr. Bob Pierce, Mr. Joe Wilson. Mr. Harold Copeland and Mr. Monte Kistler. The club house will be closed the first of October, ex cept, possibly, for Saturday dinners and on Sundays. Ever notice a woman get on a etreet car which has somebody in every seat but many vacant half seats? She looks around hesitatingly but nobody moves over Invitingly and finally she drops into a. seat beside some other woman And how the other woman does crowd over to give her room! Tea, indeed: she almost pushes through the window in her hospitable desire to make the newcomer welcome! (If you don't care what you say.) And that attitude of the woman who has a comfortable seat on the street car with plenty of room beside her for a new woman who boards the car and wants a seat is typical of the attitude of the sex in other situa tions and relations of life. ?She never looks up to give the newcomer a wel coming smile, unless she be an old friend, or one whose favor she has rea sons for wishing to curry. She never moves over, dispassionately, noticing the scarcity of empty eeats and realiz ing that the last woman on the car has as good a right there as the first. And If the last woman does sit down on the ragged, uncertain edge of a seat which the first woman has not been able entirely to cover with her skirts and her bundles, the latter give not a fraction of an inch but stubbornly, im passively selfishly ignoring the exist ence of the newcomer persists in keeping all the room she can and mak ing it as difficult as possible for the woman to hold her place on the peril ous edge of nothing as they turn those rharp curves that are on every track. Miss Virginia Lee. daughter of the late General Fitzhugh Lee. was mar ried yesterday at Alexandria, Va., to Lieutenant John Carter Montgomery, Seventh U. S. cavalry, stationed at Fort Riley. At the boarding house this morning Ihe Silent Man and his chatty wife got into a discussion about women's tongues and soon the 'whole dining room had been drawn into the contro versy. The women all shouted in con cert at the tops of their voices their strenuous denials of the charge that theirs is the gabby sex. The men con tented themselves with sardonic smilee and tart, brief sarcastic retorts. Well, the women finally said, if they did most of the talking it was because it was up to them. The whole burden of keeping up the conversation rested on a wo man from the first time a man called on her until their golden wedding day, unless she broke down under the strain and his second wife marked that anniversary by laying a wreath on the grave of her martyred predecessor. All their lives, they declared, they were obliged to sustain the responsibility of filing those awakward pauses when thtre was company for- dinner and the husbands Eat and stuffed in gloomy, unbroken, inhospitable taciturnity; when "his" kin came as well as when hera" were entertained. And If they aidn't talk and chatter every minute the men would begin by asking if they were sick, then demand, 'Well, what's wrong? and then get sore and pick up their hats and go -off down to the vlub for the evening.

The marriage of Miss Katharine Fuller and Mr. Gerald Webber of Chi cago was solemnized at 8 o'clock mass at the Church of the Assumption yes terday morning by the Very Rev. Father Hayden. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Sadie Baird, maid of honor, and Mr. Daniel Shan non, uncle of the bride, groomsman. The bride and maid of honor, both of whom are very pretty and attractive young girls, looked charming, the for mer in white chiffon cloth, lace trim med and with a big white picture hat with white plumes, and the latter In white over yellow with a white hat trimmed in yellow and white. The bride carried white and the maid of honor yellow roses. A wedding break fast for a small company of Intimate friends and relatives was given at the home of the bride's uncle and aunt. Mr. and Mrs. John Hand, on Monroe street, with whom she has made her home for a number of years. Her mother, Mrs. Thomas Fuller of Kansas City, was here for the wedding. Mr, and Mrs. Webber left yesterday for Chicago and will live at Corwith, on of the suburbs of the city. Three women discussing another woman this morning gave her a com pliment tnat was worth while: They naa noticed that she was "nice to everybody." not in that general, dlffu sive. politic, nasty nice way, that marks the "lovely character." but un obtrusively, simply and generously, to people who could be of no possible use to her, as well as to the ones sne might nive reasons ror wishing to please and to the bores whom other people neg lect ana avoia. it is a mighty good quality ana deserving or praise. Mrs. H. B. Hogeboom gave an In- iormai luncheon yesterday for a limited number In compliment to Mrs. Clarence Wittman of Kansas City. xou Know how stinev women am about spending real money whether naturally or because they don't have it to spend 7 And haven t you, for this reason, noted with wonder the women you see lunching at the Tea Room when you go to Kansas City all alone with no man to pay the bills and ap parently eating real food that costs something? Well, the explanation Is that they can get their lunches charged, If they have an account, just as they do the other things they buy. As long as a woman is "chareinsr" she is lavish. She never seems to stop tt ininic or tne cost. W hen it comes t paying out real money, however, she. is cautious probably because those thirty dollar purses never have any thing In them besides car fare. But what do you know about charging a luncheon? Isn't that about tne limit? Listen to the girls themselves and you might believe that the coronet braids and puffs thev are wearing are "all their own." Well, they may. or should be, paid for and their own in that sense. butA as for having grown on them trust them not. Even the Seven Sutherland Sisters couldn't man age the fashionable coiffure of the nour witnout me aid or artificial hair. No matter how lavish nature has been with a woman tn this respect she must have false puffs and switches and rats to help her out.

The bottom of the skirt and tha. trimming bands on the big hats they would rest on her ears.' waist were of soft white silk folded on the bias. for afternoon and evening wear. The skirt Is cut in straight lengths held in at the elbow by a band of of Irish lace, fashioned in the cape And not only that, the use of artificial hair saves the natural hair which would be ruined by the curling an J puffing and waving which the new coiffure demands. The natural hair Is merely used for a foundation for the coronet braids, the curls and puffs and side waves and the sachets concealed under the braids to perfume the hair. It isn't that women need more hair for the usual purposes. The false hair being worn now is used for ornamen tation like flowers, jewels or ribbon9. Some of the girls wear automobile nets over the coiffure which protect it and make the elaborate. dressing. necessary only about twice ft week; rOf course that 'means they sleep in nets;' puffs, braids and all.

THE MILLS CO. TRICKETT WILL STAY. Wont Give lu His Position on the Kansas City IJd. Concerning the report from Kansas Citv that C. W. Trtckett. the "pad lock" attorney general of Kansas City. Kan., is to resign on Oct. 1. Attorney General F. S. Jackson said today: "I have heard nothing which leads me to believe that Mr. Trickett is go ing to resign." L. W. Keplinger. Mr. Trickett's law partner in Kansas City, also denies the report. Mr. Trickett himself is at present back east on a lecturing tour.

It Is possible that Mr. Trickett has decided that this condition has now come to pass, and that the law will be en forced in Kansas City without the aid of an assistant attorney general.

It is the government's view that the r company's real terminal is Bayonne, N. J J. At today's hearing Frank B. Kellogg, for the government, asked C- M. Payne, fan employe of the Standard who ad- vised the building of delivery tanks at Center Bridge. "I did." Interposed Mr. i Milburn. "I thought under the law that there should be a delivery point there, i I thought it excellent advice." "I den t.", said Mr. Kellogg. AFTER BQYER'S SCALP.

The board will investi gate the water supply, aiil the manner of disposal of sewage and garbage. And this is only the start of a gen eral overhauling of the sanitary condi tions of all the institutions of the state. Dr. Crumbine said this morning just before starting for Osawatomie: "The state board of health, at its last meeting, appointed this committee to make an inspection of all the institu tions in the state and report on their sanitary condition. We will inspect the hospitals, charitable schools, peniten ttary. reformatories. university, state normal, and all educational Institutions. None will be allowed to escape without an examination, and when we are through, we will know whether" the people in these institutions are getting pure water, and whether the general sanitary conditions are what they should b." NORTH DAKOTA IT IS. Name of Battleship No. ed Cpon. S3 Is Decid- Washington. Sept. 26. North Da kota will be the name of battleship No. 23 one of the new 20,000. ton ves sels contracts for which were recent ly awarded by the navy department. The other vessel, as heretofore an nounced will be called the Delaware. President Roosevelt feels that as so many naval vessels bear the names of New York cities that it would be unfair to carry out the original plan of naming No. 23 the New York and of changirg the cruiser of that name to the "Saratoga." Utah is now the only one of the states after which no war vessel has been named. MAV TEST THE LAW. Railroad Board Returns From Culver Where There Is a Controversy. The members of the state hoard of railroad commissioners, who went to Culver. Ottawa county. yesterday to hear the evidence In the Culver eleva tor case, returned to Topeka today. The farmers at Culver wanted to bulid an elevator on the Union Pacific r rni or wh v DHL ine oniv location offered by the railroad, it is claimed. WHOLESALERS. was in a low place, and the farmers refused to accept it.-' They built their elevator Just off tie right of way, where It was necessary to haul grain 158 feet In wagons to load it on the cars. They are now asking that the Union Pacific be compelled to extend a switch to the elevator, under the terms of the law enaeted at the 1905 session of the legislature. This law has never been tested, and it is expect ed that the Union -Pacilis expects to fight any order that the Doard mav make. The board has not yet reached a decision in the case. It win hear the railroad's side of the case at Topeka some time next week. DIVIDENDS MUST GO. Railway Officiate Say They Can't Pa Them on Two-Cent Fare. St. Louis, Sept. 26. Every passenger train on the Wabash system has suf fered a serious decrease in revenutr. according to Gtneral Manager Miller. James Minnis. assistant general so licitor of the Wabash, said: "Nothing can or will be done until we get the exact figures on earnings from the traffic departments. There is one i thing we do know. The railroads have lost tremendously under the 2-cent law. Local travel has increased some, but j nothing compared to what was predict- ed by champions of this legislation. The i volume is insufficient to make up for the reduced passenger rate. Many who formerly had passes don't travel now j at all. There is no free transportation j issued by the v aoasn today, and yet on this item our saving is comparative ly small." An official of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railroad said: "No railroad in this state can con tinue the payment of dividends if the 2 cent statute Is allowed to remain. I venture the serious assertion that some of them will have to go into the hands of receivers unless redress is granted by the courts." -Thes statements were brought out by the railway compilations alleging a loss of J1.500.000.0O to the Missouri roads on the test from June IT. MISSISSIPPI IS UP. High Water Will Interfere With the Inspection. LaCrosse. Wis.. Sept. 2 6.

One of the most important questions that arises in the mind of an owner of an automobile is the cost of mainten ance of his car. It is very difficult for one who does not look personally to the upkeep of his car to determine the four points which enter into its main tena nee. How long will; an' automobile last? What does it cost to operate it? How many miles will it run on "a gallon of gasoline.?'"" How long wiir tfie tires wear? Are probably the foar important fac tors in the life of an automobile. In some cases an automobile in the hands of a competent driver will give a great deal more satisfaction, at a minimum cost, as compared to the same car in the hands of a less -experienced man. To determine the average cost of maintaining and operating an automo bile, an enterprising manufacturer has Just compiled statistics showing that with judicious handling and the ordinary care that should bo accorded an auto mobile, the amount to support a ma chine la not nearlv as great as most people believe. An eastern company de termined recently to discover the cost. It sent invitations through the newspa pers throughout the country and to owners of, single cylinder cars asking them ror sworn statements as to the totai expense incurred In the mainten ance of their car. Of those who responded, hundreds were wining to make statements of the approximate cost of running their cars, yet none of these was used. Only the actual cost, sworn before a notary pub lic and witnesses, were accepted. One hundred and sixty-four statements were received, coming from 30 different states, which show records of cars thit have been used on all kinds of roaJs and under all sorts of conditions. From the data received the fotlowirg statis tics were compiled: The mileage gotten out of the cars varied considerable-. ranging from 850 to 32.000. llar.y of the affidavits shewed a mileage of over 20 000 and nearly 50 per cent had gotten over 10.000 mites out of their car The total combined made over 1.500.000 miles or. to be exact, 1.555.427. the average of this being 9.661 miles per car. The gasoline consumption" afforded great interest. One car running as low as 9 2-3 miles per gallon, while another ran as high as 32 miles per gallon For ty ner cent of the number have claimed to get over 20 miles per gallon, while the average of all is a trifle over 18 1-3 miles per gallon. The cost of repair-This amount ranges from practically nothing in some cases to several hundreds of dollars in others. The total amount of repairs not including tires for the 151 cars wa-i W.581.29. or an average for each car of $42.74. For the average length of time the cars have been used (one year, seven morions aim i.cnij uays;. It means an average of 2.17 per month nr than 51 cents per week. Another way to compute the cost would be to total the distance traveled, taking 161 cars totaling 1,553.427 miles, and with the total cost for repairs. 35,881.29. it means that the most of: the upkeep averages .004939 per miles, or in other words, only 44 H cents per 100 miles that is traveled. That certainly is cheaper than walking. in considering these points do not overlook the num ber of passengers carried Some were runabouts carrying one or two. and sometime? three passengers. while others were four passenger cars, car rying five or six passengers. The av erage as shown by affidavits was near ly 3hi persons, so it would make this expense less than 13 cents per 100 miles for each passenger. The next Item of expense Is that of gasoline. The sworn statements sow that the miles obtained per gallon run from as few as 9 2-3 up as high as 32 miles per gallon. Take the average of the lot. it shows 19.34 or a trifle over 18 1-3 miles per gallon. The cost of gsoline varies in different "parts of the country, but may probably be av eraged at 18 cents a gallon; it would then make the average 1 cent per mile per car for fuel, or less than one-third of a cent per mile per passenger.

What is the greatest number of mil? you have known a set of tires to run? If a customer were to ask you a3 to about how long or how many miles a set of tires could be expected to last, with proper care, what would you tell him? The answers" to- the first questions were in aboat two years, in cases less, and In several cases three years, and one answer was four years. To the second ouestion the answers were ail the war from 4.000 to 15.000 miles, but th maioritv run along from 6.000 to 9 000 miles. Regarding the third Question, there was a wide difference of opinion, but thev averaged up be tween one and two years and from 5 600 to 10.000 miles. Many replies being qualified bv the statement that it would all depend upon the carefulness of the operator and the roads he would have to travel. It certainly is com mendatorv not onlv to any one car. but to the whole industry, when after a. careful canvass of over ISO automobile owners, it is authentically estimated that the cost of up-keei of a carefully -Derated car renders the cost of trans portation, per mile, less than any other mefiu of locomotion.

Kansas City, Sept: 26. The negro population of Kansas City, Kan., ob served Emancipation day yesterday with a street parade and a general celebration at Booker Washington park. Thirteenth street and Wood ave nue. More than 4.000 negroes con gregated at the park. The principal speaker was United States Senator Chester I. Long, who arrived in the city early in the morning, and after attending a reception given him at the Grund hotel by business men and. Re publican politicians he was escorted to the park. Senator Long -was introduced by Professor W. T. Vernon, registrar of tiie treasury at Washington, D. C. Sen ator Long said in part: "When freedom came, many of you, fired by a new ambition, left the plan tation and went to the city. There you engaged in other occupations. You now nave representatives in all the 140 occupations reported by the last census, including all the professions and eery trade and industry. You have shown yourselves capable to en gage in and make a success of prac tically every industry which white men pursue. I have here a negro business directory of the two Kansas Citys which shows the possibilities of your race, and that practically no line of business is barred against you who tne energy and determination which are necessary for any man to win success, whether the color of his skin is white or black. "That race prejudice exists no one can deny. It always has been so and will continue until the end of time. But as it Is not possible to entirely change conditions that exist, it be comes necessary for you to do your part as best you can under the condi tions and surroundings as you find them. The law has done much for you and you have done much for your selves. There is much yet to do. for statistics show a high per cent of il literacy and much poverty among your people. The same reports show, however, -what can be done by all of you by showing what has been done by some of you.

OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL Indications That tins Failed Muskogee Bank Will Pay Out. Muskogee. I. T.. Sept. 26. The Canad ian Valley Trust company which closed its doors Tuesday morning posting no tices on Its windows to the effect that its banking business had been trans ferred to the other banks in this city and that depositors would be paid yes terday, failed to open its doors. Th. associated banks upon investigation found conditions different from what they expected and have not taken hold of it. It was agreed that the other banks of the city would assume the responsibilities of the company if a bond of $100,000 could be raised. The bond was to have been secured at one o'clock Tuesday night, but the Canad ian Valley people were unable to raise the amount. For the past week it has been known in financial circles that the crash was nenr at hand. On Friday and Saturday of last week it was necessary for other banks in the city to come to the aid of the trust company. On Sat urday the company paper was protested in St. Louis. On Friday P. B. Hopkins, president of the bank, gave the other banks satisfactory bond for their loans. On Saturday however his security wan not considered first class and on tho following day the banks began an In vestigation of the company's afalr. It was found that the trust company had loaned $162,000. $6.000 in exces of the amount stated by Mr. Hopkins. Tne bank Is capitalised for $100,000 and has deposits of S200.000. Further examination of the bank's assets show that they are more valuable than at first supposed. There are over drafts amounting to $42,000.

CHICAGO'S RAKE-OFF City's Share of Railway Profits of One JJne, $600,000 a Year. Chicago. Sept. 26. The city's share of the net profits of the Chicago city railway company for the first six months ending July 31, will be $278, 218. This Information was given in the first official statement of the financial results of the operation of the trac tion settlement ordinance, made by President T. E. Mitten of the railway company in a letter to John A. Spoor, chairman of the executive committee of directors. The report shows that the total net profits for the period is $503,550 and the company's share $225,348. These figures are based on the city getting 55 per cent and the company getting 45 per cent of the net profits as provided in the ordin ance. During the political canvass prior i to the election of April 3, last at which the traction settlement ordin ances were endorsed, the cry was heard that "net profits" under the or dinance would be "n;t profits," that the companies would see to it that no profits were coming. Mr. Mitten's letter, a copy of which has been sent to Mayor Busse and City Comptroller Wilson, shows that the net profits to the city from the operation of the Chicago City Rail way ordinance alone will ba nearly $600,000 a year. Wttn me union Traction lines earning 20 to 25 per cent more than the Chicago city lines, yet to be brought into the accounting system, it is conservatively estimated that the city will have at least 1 -300.000 a year from the net profit di vision. REVOLT IN CUBA. New York Capitalists at Head Conspiracy. of a Havana. Sept. 26. A conspiracy to start a revolutionary movement in Cuba has been discovered. Under in structions issued by Governor Magoon a number of suspicious persons believed to be connected with the conspiracy have been showed for several flays past. It is believer! that the movement is backed by New York capitalists. How the Story Started. Xew York, f-ept. 2 6. Cuban con spirators, whose plot to overthrow the provisional government had been thwarted by Governor Magoon in Havana, attempted apparently to use the World to further the design. An unsigned cable of 182 words was re ceived by the newspaper several hours before the news became public, stating that a meeting of prominent merchants of Havani had been held Monday night and a resolution had been adopted to Inform the World of the true state of Cuban affairs. The message then said that there would be a general uprising today and tomor row. In language of alarm the message told of a credit impaired, property in danger and general anarchistic demonstration to follow all for the purpose of "causing an embarrassing situation at Washington." It added: If American troops shed Cuban blood a general uprising and open war against America will be inevitable." Revolution leaders, the cable stated, were known to have taken to the in terior arms and ammunition and ma chine suns which had never been turned over to the provisional gov ernment. "Give this the widest pub licity, possibly nave situation" the dis patch concluded. Inquiry as to the identity of the sender of the message disclosed that it was "Merchants' association. 30 Zeulueta street." The dispatch bore evidence of having been prepared by an experienced cable correspondent, but investigation showed there is no such organization in Havana as the "Merchants' association." the address given is that of a conservative and ex clusive union club, and no knowledge of a meeting of merchants of any sort in Havana could be learned. We Do Not Prox TO HELP STRIKERS Lead of Chicago in Matter the Telegraph War of Is Expected to Be Followed Other Large Cities. by WILL 3IAKE TROUBLE. But Supt. Cook JSays It Not Budge Him. Will Operators Say It Brings Peace i a Step Nearer. Chicago. Sept. 6. The telegraph "peace" resolutions adopted by the city council at Monday night's session, it has developed, represented only the first gun in a general campaign of legisla tion against the two telegraph com panies. According to officials of the striking telegraphers' union, there are nearly 100 city councils in as many large cities which will, within a week, adopt resolutions of the same tenor. And this Is not the whole program. It is hoped that many of the city councils will assist In the fight by demanding that' the companies bury their wires, make different arangementa for giving municipalities service, and in other ways make life a weary burden for the corporatiors. In Chicago, the women, led by Mrs. Raymond Robins,' president of the Wo man's Trades Union league, are prepar ing to reopen the 'woman question" of the strike. In a circular letter sent out to every woman in the city who is member or a trades union organiza tion, attention is called to the condi tions under which women operators are compelled to work. The letter is signed by Mrs. Robins and Miss Emma Stag hagen, secretary of the organization. Operators crowded into Uhlich's hall to learn the details of the action taken at the council. Frank Likes, a mem ber of the union's executive board, said the resolutions represented a "crystal lization" of the feelings of the business men of Chicago. He said it brought peace one step nearer and a victory for the strikers. "It won't move us from our position," said Superintendent Cook of the West ern Union company. "It will make us some little trouble, however," he admit ted. WOULD IGNORE ALL CONTRACTS Xew York Telegraphers May Call Out I.eassHl Wire Men. New York. Sept. 26. The New York local of the Commercial Tele graphers' union voted last night to call out all leased wire operators em ployed by the press and brokers' of fices in this city, if such action shall be sanctioned by the national officers. It was voted also to ask the nation al officers to issue a call for the brok ers', and press telegraphers through out the country to quit work. The demand upon the men who are now working under the contract is made in the Interests of those who have struck against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. Chester L.

An amendment introduced by John G. McCloskey of the Hearst News Service, exempting from the strike operators of leased wires those who were bound by a union contract wttn their employers signed six months orevlous to the strike of the commer cial men, was defeated,' amid much cheering and the original resolution passed with little opposition. After the meeting Chairman Daniel T. Russell of the strike committee, said If the present course was not ef fective, the railroad operators woulo be called upon to quit work. Officers Arc Silent. Chicago. Sept. 26. The national officers of the Telegraphers' union de clined to express an opinion as to whether they would sanction the strike voted by the New York locar. Similar action has been taken by ten locals. Gives Companies Ten Iays. Oklahoma City. O. T., Sept. 26. Attorney General W. O.

KEEP TAB ON ENGINEERS. Burlington Puts Bar on Insure Safety. Speed to Burlington engineers are under surveil lance. Their speed records are scanned and their performances between, stations with tra'ns is watched closer than ever before. Most of the engines are fitted with "dutch clocks." and the record of the speed made between stops, told by the me chanical device, is a matter that every en gineer must consider. The management is determined to avoid disastrous wrecks due to high speed. Discussing this modern feature or rail roading an engineman. says: "Our trains are carded up to a certain speed and tne rules hold that we must not exceed a certain limit, sometimes not a great deal higher than the carded speed. If anything happens that we lose a minute or two at stations we are unnble to make up that lost time. In the old dnys about all that an engineman was asked to do was to get his tr?.in over the division. Of course on certain sections of track unusually high speed was barred, but the engineman ac quainted with the road was relied upon to get the train over the road and about the onlv question lie was asked was why he was late. Now. If the train is late you must explain the delay. If you are on time and have exceeded the speed limit It is up to you to tell Just why. It Is a luckv engineer who gets into a terminal without having some explanation or other to make." The-tlme card rues relating to speed of trains say: "Speed of trains and disconnected en gines The speed of trains must never be such as to be, in the estimation of the en glnemen and conductor, unsafe. Freight snd mixed trains on i!me must use. In runnlnsr. all the time allowed on tho tahlp. except such as is absolutely necessary to do their work at stations.

Kansas car) an-crd to" be charitable, even to a Spaniard who has had his foot cut off by a railroad train. This Is the synopsis of an "opinion' given today by Charles D. Shukers, as sistant attorney eeneral of Kansas, to M. J. Gernon, the county attorney of Kussen county. Mr Gernon wrote to the attorney general asking what the county should no wnn a chant v case wnicn naa been forced upon It, and also Inquiring who would pay the bill. It seems that a Spaniard had his foot cut off by the Union Pacific train at Tulon. Ellis county. He was brought to Russell, and now. In his helpless condition, is a charge on the county. Apparently the county isn t anxious to stand the ex pense. The county commissioners hud evidently been kicking about it, and asking who would pay the Spaniard's bills. Mr. Gernon was unable to an swer, and wrote to the attorney general to find out. "It might be possible." said Mr. Shukers in discussing the matter, "that by applying to the United States de partment of state, a claim for the care of the Spaniard could be submitted to :he Spanish ambassador, and thence i-i the Spanish government. The Spanish government would no doubt in course of time pay the bill. But in the exist ing case, it seems as though Russell county should care for the man. anj then, when he is well enough to travel, send him where he needs to go The following Is the letter sent by the attorney general to the county ati torney of Russell county: "In answer to your letter of Septem ber "4, 190T.

Ex-Mayor Harrison Would Put End to Nuisance Inside City. j Complaining that the city board of health has made no effort to abate nuisance of burning rubbish and manure in the city though he had filed a protest, ex-Mayor T. W. 1 Harrison went higher, and mailed a letter to Mayor Wm. Green callios: the atten tion of the city's executive to the neg-! lect of the city board of health to act. He said: Sept. 24th, 1907. Wm. Green, City Mayor, Topeka, Kansas: I Inclose you a copy of a letter which I addressed to the city board of health on the 4th Inst, relative to a very great and constantly increasing nuisance, viz.: that of burning rub bish and refuse matter, within the city limits. The honorable board of health evidently does not consider it a mat ter of any importance, for they have not even deigned to acknowledge the receipt of the letter. Perhaps their functions are not "preventive"" but rather along "curative" lines after the disease has become seated. We have suffered more this year than ever be fore from this nuisance of suffocating smoke and vicious odors from the burning of rubbish and manure within the city. There has hardly been a ifht du.-ing the hot and oppressive weather th::s summer, when the sleep ing rco.fis in the neighborhood where I reside, have not been filled with smoke and very offensive odors from burning rubbish. And this same trouble seems to exist all over the city. I trust that you as the chief executive of the city, will see that this nuisance is eradicated at once. T. W. HARRISON. Topeka. Kansas, Sept. 4th. 1907. City Board of Health. City Building, Topeka. Kansas: On behalf of myself and thousands of other people of this city, I wish to make a most vigorous and strenuous protest against the burning of rub bish and refuse matter anywhere within the city limits. At the very best the air In the city Is badly vitiated and hard enough to breathe without this contiguous nuisance of burning refuse matter, rubbish and manure, and filling the buildings and houses with offensive and noxious fumes and smoke. Almost continuously in the rear or 113 West Sixth avenue is a veritable Valley of Hinnon. where the fires sel dom if ever go out. Ana in tne neigh borhood where I reside, Huntoon and Western avenue, nearly every even ing the houses and sleeping rooms are fileed with vicious odors and smoke from fires of that kind. This burninsr of rubbish and ma nure anywhere within the city is cer tainly a nuisance and a detriment to health, and ought to have been stop ped years ago. and I tiope that some immediate and vigorous measures will be taken at once by the city board of health to stop it once and for all.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAD-THURSDAY EVENIHCb-SEPTEIIBEB 26, 1907. FRANK D. KELLOGG. TWO LAWYERS WHO I X tile attemnt hfnv mna HaiVm-a

States THAT SETA'XER BOT. He Haa AdTentarvs With Carriage. Baby That Skinner boy was on his way to the grocery the other morning to buy two dozen clothes-pins for his mother, when a man stopped him and said: "See here. boy. if you are to be trust ed I've got an errani for you. I've had a baby carriage repnire-l at the shop down here, and I want it taken to my house on Cherry street. Do you think you can get it there without any fooling around "I never fool, r," replied Humpy, with dignity. "Then you ari different from most boys. If you can walk soberly along the street, pushing that carriage in front of yoa. and leave it at my house with the wheels on it I'll give you ten cents. If you damaee it at atl I'll have the police after yoii" "I'll take It eafely to your house, sir." CVhuhE The carriage was given in his charge end he walked away. He had gone Just a block when he met that Harper boy. The latter had sen a thousand baby carriages in his time, but his curiosity was aroused over this one. He wanted to heft it. He wanted to flop it on Its side and turn the wheels. He wanted to know whether the man who owned it had red whiskers or black. He could rot be satisfied until he had got be hind tt and started down the walk on a run to see how easy it pushed. There was a man coming up the walk with a box on his shoulder. Of course, the Harper boy ran tha carriage -against his legs. and. of course, he dropped the box with a great crash and had some thing to say. He said that if he could v v htim wav h"in r thin? he'ri hrfl Ir very boy In town In two. He'd cuff them up to a peak. He'd drive them head-first into a swamp. He'd had the skin raked off h!s legs by the wheel cf tha carriage, and he wanted to know who was going to be financially re sponsible if blood poison set in and he died and left a widow and three small children. He wanted to know several other things as he stood there motion ing it all out, but the Harper boy didn't wait to answer. He took to his heels and left Humpy to bear the burden. The man delivered another ten minute lecture and then shouldered his box and went his way. Humpy had travel ed two blocks when he met the Wat kins boy. Of course, the latter wanted to know all about it. and the two had to sit down on the curbstone until ex planations had been made.- They were about concluded when a man walking with a cine came along and fell over the carriage. He knocked it off the Mdewalk into the street, but without doing it any damage. The collision threw him down, and when he got up he felt that he had been illused. He said that he was near-sighted, and h thought that anybody who d move a bouse and have it on the sidewalk for persons to stumble over were deserving of the electric chair. Humpy tried to explain that it was only a baby carriage, and that ha was sorry It had brought about the acci dent but the man would not listen. He said he guessed he knew a house when he ran against it, and added that every boy in America ought to be kept chained in his father's back yard until he was eighteen years old. He had often wondered why there wasn't such a law. and now he would go at it and try to have one passed. He was till nourishing his cane around and talking when Hutnpy atola softly away with the carriage to meet a policeman in the next block. He didn't want to neet tha officer, and was crossing the f4 v: j X I cv lpfpl fSH- ARE PaOMTNIST LTT THE GREAT csnLTt. xt iAu&ixxx x- cms ui L,ou is, a special c Hi street in a careless way to avoid it, when the blue-coat called out: "Here, you young man, where are you sneaking to?" "I'm not sneaking, sir," was the re ply. "Where did you steal that bay car riage?" "I'm taking it to No. 90 Cherry street for a man." "Look here, young man! Remember that you are talking to a representa of the !jw. Tou can't make- me be lie.ve that any man would trust a strange boy to wheel a baby carriage a mile or two through the streets. You come along to the station and we'll see about it." Fortunately for. Humpy, the family ice man came along Just then and was recognized and appealed to. and. after a bit, the officer turned to the boy and said: "I'm not exactly satisfied, but I'm going to let you go this time. Tou take that carriage and hump, yourself, and if -I hear of your getting Into any trouble on the way nothing on earth can save you from state's prison." Humpy started off with the best of intentions, but he had only gone a block and a half when he was stopped hy- a woihanwith.a ..basket on .Jier arm. "Now.- therfe how good it is to meet a good boy." she said, as ther halted. "I am a poor old woman and have to lug market baskets around, and you are goins? -to give me this old baby car riage to help me out. Tou are a good boy. Johnny a good boy." "But this isn't an old baby car riage." protested Humpy. "Never mind it'll do for me." "But I can't give it to you; It isn't mine." "Don't tell me that, sonny."; WTieed led the old woman, as she deposited her basket in the carriage.'- '1 can see that u are not the kind of boy to let an., old lady be carrying baskets around. I thank you for the gift and will always remember you." She was about to take full posses sion when Humpy seized her basket and deposited it on the walk and then grabbed the handle of the carriage and made off as fast as he could go. The woman raised her voice and called him names and cried "stop thief!" but he whipped around the first corner and got clear of her. Then he ran upon a boy and a bull dog. The boy was leading the dog by a rope, and the dog was looking for trouble. "Hully gee. but hain't this lucky!" exclaimed the boy with the dog. "We'll harness the dog to the cart and take a ride." "J'm taking this carriage home for a man. replied Humpy. "That's all right. I know the man. and he said if I met you that I could harness in the dog. I saved the man's life once, and he wants to oblige me. "But I've got to go right along. "No hurry, sonny. I should hate to tend you to the hospital with your skull all caved In. but I'm a bad. bad feller when rm crossed. Now, we ties the nog in with this rope and I gits into the carriage for the first ride. After I ride down to the corner and back you can your turn. Humphy was helpless to prevent, but the dog had no idea of being turned into a dray-horse. Just at that moment he caught sight of a dog on the other side of the street and that furnished a good excuse. He rushed forward and grap pled with the other canine, and the r: was apMt in a moment. Humpy ran over and trld to help in separating the combatants, and a crowd quickly gath ered. The dogs were clubbed and the baby carriage kicked to one side, and Humpy was trying to get hold of It when he caught sight of the man who had Intrusted it to his care. The man also caught sight of him and made a rush, but some people came between and the box took to his heels and ran for life. Down at the corner a man seised and held htm for a moment and wanted to know if he had been picking pockets. Humpy protested hia innocence and was let go and ran the rest of the wa-v home. When he entered the house ni!l mother asked: "Didn't I send you for clothes-pins two Ions: hours ago?" "I I think I most had a sunstroke." replied Humpy, aa he passed his hand over his eyes-r "Oh. you do? Well, m see that yen don't most have another. It's nice and cool out in the woodshed, and Tve got something out there to show you. Come on (Copyrighted, 1907. by E. C. Pai ceils.) XEPHEW AND NIECE. j Old Peter Rhlnaheart. bachelor, waa a very rich man and a very Queer man. He had two brothers and a sister and three or four nephews and nieces, but for the last thirty years of hia life not one of them was permitted to step foot across hia threshold. Not that Old Peter was mad at them, or had any reason to be, but simply because he took, a notion to have things that. trajr. i JOHN G. MILBTJKN. STAHDAED OIL CASE. tea States riaminp v.-fn He had a bell fixed on his gate, and whenever any of his relatives came to see him they rang tha bell and he went out to the gate to talk with them. He was glad to see them. He often gave them money. He invited them to come again. No matter how kind and considerate he was, however, none of them could get into his house. It was the same with strangers. If he had business with them it had to be done at the gate. Two of the lawyers he employed objected to this and were sent packing. By and by his house cane to be known as "The House of Mystery." and was talked about f r twenty miles around. As Old Peter was known to be rich it came to be believed that he had money and bonds hidden away In the walls and under the floors of his house, and as a natural consequence robbers and burglars had their eyes on the place. The., house stood alone on the outskirts cf the- village, anil it looked as If robbery would be an easy thing, but several ba i rh.-irH.cier came to grief, over it.. Ta;r were bear trails and sprine guns and trap doors and PSxf produced pistol iho OTHAEaTxaO to SHOOT him? Old Peter was the means of sending several men to state's prison. When he had reached the age of 70 and his health had begun to fail all his rela tives and friends besought him to change his way of living. There was fear that he would die alone and un attended. The old man- refused to make any change whatever. What waa feared came to pass within a year. After the old man had not been seen for two days the house was broken into and he was found dead. Old Peter had made his will six months before. He had given to charity, and he had been generous with all his relatives, but the bulk of his fortune had been left to a certain nephew and niece. John Rhineheart was 24 years old and a son of the old man's brother. Mary Davis was 29. and a daughter of his sister. He had not seen either one of them a dozen times in his life. Though relatives, they cordially dis liked each other. They met but sel dom, and always quarreled when they did meet. Neither were liked by the other relatives. At the time of the old man's death both were engaged to be married to others. Had Old Peter studied Tor years he could not -have wrought out a worse plan than he put in .practice. The money was left to this pair on condi tion that they marry. If they did not marry It waa to be divided up among the others; if they did. the one who survived the other took alL If the uncle knew the feeling between them, which had become almost positive ha tred before he died, then he could not have taken a surer way to bring about a tragedy. At first, both nephew and niece declared that they would not accept the legacy under the term They flouted the idea and they talked of going; to law. After a bit they took a different view of the case. The spirit of avarice predominated in both, and in their selfishness they concluded to obey the provision. It was- stipulated that they must live-together for at least five years, unless death Intervened, and the. legacy waa to be paid in Ave annual installments. Their engagements to others were broken-and they were marrted. They said to each other that it was only to secure the property. They declared that they hated each other. They even went so far as to say before wit nesses that they would put each other out of the way before the end of the five year if opportunity occurred. They became man and wife, but lived together as two strangers. The feel- Ing for each other was one of bitter- est hatred. One day., three months after mar- T: 13D ULSCELUAEOtS IDS. WAXTED MALE HELP.

Ger- riage, they went riding together. In a boat on a mill pond. Tne husband hoped that some accident would hap pen and the wife be drowned. While he was planning to "-accidentally" lose an oar and be swept iiver the dam she produced a pistol and threatened to shoot him if Anything Kept wrong. A month later he got word that she had asked for poison afr-the drug store, and he-charged her -with an-intention of killing him. and. thereafter 'was suspicious of his food. "It was shown after his death tha-t-he bought a live rattlesnake and let -il? loose, in the orchard.- It was shown that she remov ed a ladder, to giv .Thins a .fall from the roof ef the house." Hhe went row-,,-ing alone tor find that the. oars had i been tampered with ana hut for -a boy she would have been swept over the dam and drowned. He found that a gurt he- was c!eanic- and carelessly handling was loaded instead of empty. There was no doubt in the mind of any villager that the couple hated each other so bitterly that eaeh had murder In Ms heart, "and that Hoarder would have been done but for the fear of the law. A year passed away. The- first portion of the legacy had pome when, the marriage took place. The second was paid wheft the first year had ex pired. A few days after this money had been received the husband suggested to the wife that they visit Niagara Falls. They had not left the village since their marriage. I "He wants to throw me Into the rap ids and send me over the- falls." said the wife to herserf as the suggestion was made; but In a moment she replied that she would be glad to go. "She will bring about my death there if she can do it." said the husband to himself as he looked at her. That both were right after events proved. We all saw them leave the village.- and it was afterwards said that they seemed to demean themselves more like husband and wife than ever before. At- the fails they were taken for a newly married couple on their wedding tour. They strolled about with hei- arm in his, laughing and chatting. and vet all the time they mistrusted each other and each "had a plan. This- dissembling last three days. They walked through Prospect park and over oh Goat Island by day and in the ev ening, but at length they took their lat walk. It was down to the very brink of the falls. They sat there and held hands, and his"- arm was around her. Thirty different people noticed them. By and by, as the hour grew late, all went away all but these two. They continued to sit there as people looked back. When they had not reach ed their hotel at midnight a still alarm was sent out. When another day came and they had not shown up there was a search made and the landlord opened two letters found In their room and directed to him. The one read: "If anything happens to me here have my wife arrested. She seeks my death."" The above was signed by the hus band. The other was signed by the wife and read "My husband has brought me here to take my life. If he succeeds I want him hung." Both had gone ovet- the falls togeth er Their bodies were found far down a "week later. (Copyrighted, 1907. by C. H. Sutcliffe.) Hi Way Home. A nervous man on his lonely home ard way heard the echoing of foot steps behind him. and dim visions of hold-up men ana garroters courseu through his brain. The faster he walked the more the man behind increased his need, and although the nervous one took the most roundabout and devious conrse he could devise, still his tracker followed. At last he turned into a churchyard. "If he follows me nere. he decided, there can be no doubt about his in tentions." The man behind did follow, and. quivering with fear and rage, the ner vous one turned and confronted him. "What do you want?" he demanded. "Why are you following me?" "to you always go home like this?" asked the stranger, "or are you giving yourself a treat tonight? I am going up to Mr. Brown's; and the porter at the station told me to follow you. as you lived next door. "Excuse my ask ing.' but are you going home at all to night?" London Opinion.
