With fa vorable weather conditions prevailing late this afternoon the St. Louis aer onautic carnival of 1907 'will be broueht tn a rlnttp The Imnortant event on the program Is the race for dirigible balloons or airships, with four of the hier motor r,rnnelle1. nicar shaped craft entered for the prize of tz.uuu. Tnere win also be various aeroplane contests and exhibitions during the afternoon. The latter events were planned for Thursday, but It was decided to combine the fly ing machine groups into one day's sport. The dirigibles entered in today's contest represent the latest ideas of American inventors. The race is to be watched by Brigadier General James Allen, chief of the signal corps, united states army ana otner promin ent army officers. The dirigible bal loon as an Implement of war is recog nized by most of the European pow ers, England being the last to take up the fascinating study of the mas tery of the air. It is the plan to send all four of the airships away at the same time and if this arrangement is adhered to the spectacle will be one rare In the annals of the history of air navigation.

Blames Mr. Stubbs' Friends for Failure of Bill. Prefers to Have Whole Question Cheeked Up to People. W. Y. Morgan, member of the state central committee, and also member of the legislature from Reno county, has made public his letter to D. R. Anthony concerning the proposed pri mary election for H08. Mr. Morgan lined up in favor of the compromise primary bill at the last session of the legislature, but he does not endorse Mr. Anthony's plan for a primary under the' direction of the state central committee. Neither does he favor a special session of, the legis lature. He wants the state to elect the right sort of representatives to the legislature, and leave it to them to en act a primary law. The letter follows: "U..l.hlnnri lfa.. Oct 21. 1907. "Hon. D. R. Anthony, Jr., Leaven worth, Kan. near Anthnnv: I am in re ceipt of your letter and-1 have read with interest the letters written by i.ffifn r arMl I'tt m m i r tee- men in which the difficulties in the way of your propositions are set forth. To my mind a most serious objection to your scheme has not been given the emphasis it deserves.- x am aim uyo been an earnest advocate of a primary election law, which should provide for nMinatinna hir all narties on the same day, at the expense of the state. with safeguards arouna tne primary ballot boxes and the canvass of votes, and should prevent r members of one party taking part in. the nomination of the candidates 01 anoxner. outu primary as you propose, without any ..r nf law aAmtttedlv a mere MlCguaiu makeshift, would have -the result of queering the plan 01 a rem pi' in the minds of the. people and per i .fao.int. it A nrimarv election without law to protect "the polls from illegal voting wouiaffw a 1 a i -1 "u .v.. nmniii he n defeat the en actment of a real primary law such as I, favor.

That bill provided for the sffontlTs anfeuards of the pri maries that could be devised. It pro vided for a direct vote on every omce, from United States senator to town shin trustee. It made a plurality vote nominate for all officers below con gressman and state omcers. xne oniy 'convention' in the bill was to bo made 'up of delegates elected direct by the voters and not by caucuses or county conventions. I think all offi cers should be nominated by plurality vote but the bill came so near meeting my views that I was glad to support It along with nearly three-fourths of the Republican members of the house. It was defeated because Mr. Stubbs and those members he could control, were not satisfied and said they would not be with any compromise whatever. The makeshift 'primary' without law or order now proposed is far beneath what they then rejected. And as they then denounced Governor Hoch's per- ..i nia nr a nrimarv la.w as im- auiiai ,i iv.. v, i f proper and wrong, I do not think they would Change tneir views in a.n eiua session but together with the Demo- ,Aiill hunt nnu measure whinh L I 119 Wuum J did not permit of the fraudulent voting Of Democrats in rtepurjncan primaries. The bitter denunciation of Governor Hoch on the noor 01 tne nouse oy tne cnnirAOTnen nf the Stnhha faction, be cause he presumed to urge a primary law, and their refusal to follow his wise suggestion, makes me think an extra session would be an expensive and vain T nrcfer that the mnt. i)rcpuiLiuii inn i-' i ter be checked to the people so that thev can elect a' legislature that will give the state a real primary law.

The worst case of family imbecility on record has been uneearthed in North Topeka by Humane Officer K. W. King. At a house on Davies street were found a brother and sister, both hopeless imbeciles from birth. Roy McAdams, 26 years old, and his sister, a girl of 22. who has two children, one a half negro, live with their mother at the place.' Officer King re ported the matter to Judge Hayden, who instructed him to take Dr. Ryder to see the family. The conditions found were absolutely shocking. The young man, who is the worse of the two idiots, was roiling on tne noor, partly clothed, and making hideous faces. The older or tne cniiaren oi the imbecile girl, the negro, seems to he intelligent, but the smaller one is an idiot like his mother. The pair were Drougnt to tne pro bate court today, and pronounced sub jects for some institution for im beciles.

SATURDAY'SWORK r-- I Glance Oyer the Scores Makes Chicago Look Good. The Maroons Are Bleht in Line for the Honors. WESTEHN CHAMPIONS. Interest in the Minnesota-Chicago Game on Not. 2. Carlisle Indians to Meet Both of These Elevens. Chicago, Oct. 23.' Chicago's foot ball star is the brightest luminary in iim oixegiaie unniimem as ine result of Saturday's grist of gridiron battles. The maroons' overwhelming defeat of Illinois in conjunction with the rather aisappoimmg snowing 01 .Minnesota in the gophers' 8 to 6 victory over Ne braska leaves the Midway team the general favorite for western honors in the opinion of football followers throughout the conference district. The eyes of the west were on the Chicago and Minnesota contests, and the verdict returned gives the maroons the shade on Dr. Williams' players on the basis of the respective perform ances of the two teams rather than on comparative score "dope." The games at -Minneapolis and Urbana left the two championship rivals cleared for their meeting Nov. 2, Minneapolis with a record of having scored 16 points to 6 for its opponents in two games and Chicago with a 69 to 12 record for two games of at least equal class: Outside the conference territory, Michigan's 22 to 0 defeat of Wabash fulfilled the expectations of the wolverine supporters, for the men of Tost, averaging some twenty- pounds heavier than Wabash, were considered bound to wear down the game Hoosivers. Wabash retrieved Its defeat In a measure by its opening stand against the maize and blue, when It held -the beefy Michigan team to a 6 to 0 score In the first half. Wisconsin rooters took a large measure of confidence from the var sity's defeat of the badger freshmen, "40 to 0, and the cardinals are looking fofward to beating the Illini next Sat urday at Madison. The Indiana po sition remained stationary in the ab sence of a game for the hoosiers. Iowa and Drake both won their games by handy margins, thereby creating much "dope" for the cornhusker rooters, who will witness the Iowa Drake game next Saturday. The 0 to 0 tie between Tale and West Eoint furnished a surprise for the Ells, while the defeat of Cornell by Pennsylvania state, 8 to 6, was the biggest eye-operier in the east. Car lisle continued its long schedule with a' 15 to 0 score over Bucknell, and as the Indians will meet both Chicago and Minnesota this season, the west ern coaches took note of the Carlisle success. Chicago and Minnesota are all set for their game on Nov. 2 at Minnea polis, neither team having a game next Saturday. The maroons had -hop ed for a gopher boom to heighten In terest In the season's biggest confer ence game, and the fact that the northerners have failed to score a touchdown in either of their two games gives their stock a slump among the Midway rooters. Coach Stagg, however, declares there is no need- -for complaint- on--this score, as he believes the gophers will "come" speedily before the end of the month. rr. is torhso hard. jayhawkers Hope to Defeat M. IT., Ne braska and Washburn. 1 Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 23. In all probability the Jayhawker team will work behind closed gates all the rest of the season. It is certain that prac tice will be secret until after Novem ber 9. the date of the Nebraska game, and It Is probable that the students of the University of Kansas will not be allowed to watch the Jayhawkers in practice again this season. Secret practice started there a week ago when the preparations for the Oklahoma game were begun. Coach Kennedy is now framing up his plans for the Washburn game a week from next Saturday. The week after the game with the Topeka team will be spent in prepar ing for the Nebraska. game. Last year Kansas defeated Nebraska and was helped very much by the fact that they sprung absolutely new plays on the Cornhuskers. The fact of the matter is that the team is at present being pointed for the Nebraska contest. This is the really "big" game of the Jayhawker cchedule. The last time Nebraska played at Lawrence In 1903 Nebraska won, 6 to 0. on a 60-yard run to a touchdown by Bender. Last year two field goals beat Nebraska in the first Kansas-Nebraska game since that famous one of 190 3. The result of these contests, added to the healthy rivalry that exists be tween the schools, will make the Nebraska-Kansas game this year of more than ordinary interest. Kansas stud ents would gladly lose to Missouri if by so doing they could beat Nebraska. But Kansas students want also the Jayhawker team to beat Washburn. For many years have the Kansas uni versity rooters journeyed to Topeka '-.with hopes in their hearts that the State university representatives would severely wallop the collegians. Seldom have their wishes been gratified. Usually the game has been close and hard fought. Kennedy knows the Washburn team BAD BREATH Beat For The Bowels CAN DV CATHARTIC Vtosssn.

Hopes to Win From K. U. and Colorado "With Ames' Battle in Doubt. Lincoln, Neb., Oct.- 23 Despite the fact that the Cornhuskers have Just emerged from a fierce grind In their conflict with Minnesota, there is to be no let d'own in "King" Cole's "push along" policy Cole's proteges are now facing three successive games almost as stifT as the battle with the Gophers. The Nebraskans are now In the very thick of one of the most grueling schedules confronting any football ag gregation in the west. Colorado uni versity comes first, with the Ames Ag gies and the Kansas Jayhawkers next in order. Colorado's strength is an unknown quantity in the Nebraska camp. Coach Peck, Cole's assistant, made the trip to Boulder Saturday, and saw the Mountaineers in action against Roth geb's Colorado Aggies. He asserts that much of the apparent looseness was due to th3 unfamiliarity of the officials with the rules,, the gamo being delayed so frequently that the players on both teams were unnerved. In the clash with the Ames Aggies, however,-, on the following Saturday, which is giving Cole and Peck chief concern. On the basis of past perform ances Ames is fully as formidable as Nebraska. The Iowans played the Gophers to a standstill so far as rtraight football was concerned and lost solely because of two drop kicks for goals by Quarterback Capron. The Cornhuskers were worsted by Minne sota by the Capron route, although they were fortunate enough to land a touch down. Cole saw both games and holds to the belief that Minnesota marshallei a stronger toam against Nebraska than against Ames. The class, as viewed by the average Cornhusker rooter. Indi cates victory for the Cornhuskers in the Colorado and Kansas games, with the Ames battle in doubt. JENNINGS IS TIED TIGHT. Could Get $10,000 in Cincinnati But Must Stay in Detroit. Detroit, Oct. 23. Hughey Jennings is in hard luck. Hughey has all kinds of chances to butt in on real good jobs in both the National and American leasue as manager, but he can't accept. Hughey is tied up to a two-year contract in Detroit and the gossips say he gets only $3,500 a season for his services. It is understood that Jennings could get $10,000 a year at Cincinnati and could have the job In a minute, if h; could tear himself away from Detroit. But they have him tied up there, an'l while Tawkey will probably raise Hughey's salary anyway, the manager won't get anything like he could in several other major cities. FOR THE GAMES AT YALE.

Often an Inch in Buckets Drawn From Deep Wells. First Experiment to Be Made 21 Miles From Hutchinson. Hutchinson,. Kan., Oct. 23.- A com pany of bankers and others is being formed in Rice county for the purpose of prospecting for oil "and gas In this part of the state. A. B. Caldwell of Hutchinson, who has charge of a quarter section of land In the southeastern part of Rice county, says the men who are form ing the organization, have leased much land in the southeastern town ship of Rice county and that he has an offer for the land which he con trols. He says that the affair is in charge of J. A. Smith, a Sterling ban ker, and Mr. Poole, a banker at Sax man. There are also other bankers in that county and other people in terested in the project. Arrangements are being made to bore holes there in a good many dif ferent points and every test pos sible will be made with the idea of se curing either "gas or oil somewhere. It is stated that some of the deep wells in the sand hills bring up an inch of oil on top of a bucket of wat er often. There are also other evi dences which lead oil men, who have made investigations to believe that, oil will certainly be found there. The point at which the first well will be put down is about twenty-one miles northwest of Hutchinson. The matter of securing the leases has been kept quiet for some weeks so that a large scope of territory could be se cured This is necessary to protect fhe men who will put up their money for the expense of drilling.

TheChantanqna County Town Threat ened With a Fuel Famine. Cedarvale. Kan., Oct. 21. Cedar vale is without gas. The lines supply ing the town have been cut off. The cause assigned is that there was not enough gas to supply that city and the other on the line, and Cedarvale, be ing the outlying town, is the victim. The most serious feature of this is that the little city is threatened with a fuel famine. Winter is coring on, and no supply of fuel has been laid in, it being supposed that the gas supply would continue. Owing to the late ness of the season, it will be a hard matter to get a stock of coal to supply the town and the citizens are much exercised over the situation.- A Fatal Runaway Accident.

An automobile plunged over a bridge and down 20 feet into the Des Plaines river at Riv er Forest yesterday and its owner, who was one of its three occupants, was fatally injured, dying at midnight In the Oak Park hospital. The victim was Frederick W. Grif fin, 42 years of age, a dealer in auto mobile parts. The automobile carrying Mr. Grif fin, his chauffeur, W. P. Davis, and a friend named Regnier, was headed to ward Chicago and was being driven by Mr. Griffin at a fair speed. The fatal accident occurred at a point where the road takes a turn to reach the bridge, and the machine while running on the bridge skidded and then plunged into the river, turn ing over while in the air and" pin ioning the owner under it in the water. The chauffeur and Regnier escaped a similar 'ate by leaping from the ma chine before it plunged into the river. AUTOMOBILE NOTES. In one year the number of cars in Minnesota has increased from 1,573 to 2.215, and their value from $697,708 to $1,009,735. The average value per ma chine is $455 for 1907, against $443 for last year. Judge Ten Kyck, of Newark, N. J., recently decided that only houses on one side of a road could be counted In classifying a highway under the mo toring laws as one with residences "100 feet apart." So pleased are farmers and motorists alike with the oiling of the old Butler pike, the most popular drive out of Pittsburg, that they have been be seeching the county commissioners to extend the treatment. At the Interstate fair at Trenton, N. J., J. W. Jarkins, Jr., in the 12-hour endurance race, broke the world's rec ord for 100 miles on a half mile track by covering the distance in 2:37. An excellent example of hospitality has been set by the Pequot Casino as sociation of New London, Conn., which has thrown open its commodious club house to members of the Automobile Club of America. A stitch in time saves nine and a good anti-freezing solution saves the radiator. One of the best is a 40 ner cent mixture of wood alcohol and wa ter, which will withstand a tempera ture of 15 degree below zero. Marshal Collins, of Glen Echo, Md., the Nemesis of motorists, particularly those of the diplomatic corps of Wash ington, recently disappeared from his post of duty, owing, it is said, to a row with the mayor of his town. After three days' trial the special officers who were employed to break up speeding on the roads leading to Atlantic City were discharged by the county authorities. Motorists had been warned and there was nothing for them to da. An ordinance requiring motorcycles to be effectively muffled at all times has been passed by Pasadena, Cal., and at Los Angeles there is a strenuous fight on against the open muffler nuis ance, led by the motorcycle club of that city. To be struck by a trolley car with sufficient force to push the automobile sidewise over a street a distance of 60 feet and yet escape without injury to its running gear was the fortune of a car owned by Ralph L. Smith, of St. Louis. Although taximeter cabs are design ed to protect patrons from the wiles of dishonest drivers, Parisians nave discovered that drivers of that city have invented several ways to make the taxi meters register more distance than they should. Motorists of eastern Pennsylvania, who found an implacable foe in Justice of the Peace Harry F. Taylor, of West Chester, have turned the tables upon him by causing his arrest on a charge of neglecting his duties as a road su pervisor. Refused permission by rural authori ties to hold an endurance race for 1908 stock cars this month, the Metropoli tan Automobile association, of New York, is planning for next April an event of that nature that will cover 500 miles in one day. Spurred by the great interest shown in the automobile races this year, the management of the Interstate fair at Trenton, N.

CM "-v RAILR0AD NEWS. Harvey Eating House System Has Large Interests in Newton. Operate Big Dairy and Poultry Farm There. RAISE OWN PRODUCTS. One Reason of the Popularity of Santa Fe Eating Houses. Other Items cf Interest Railway People. to Newton, Kan., Oct. 23. The newly Improved dairy and poultry station owned and operated by .the Fred Har vey, eating house system is now run ning at full capacity. The farm, as it is called, has been in full operation all season but with the new work being completed the system on which the plant is run has been more fully per fected. While this institution has been operated here lor many years, then are comparaWvely few persons familiar with the method and equipment in use by this system in supplying the pro visions for the various hotels over the Santa Fe railroad company's territory. A new freezing and cooling room has been built at the farm this year, a carbonatlng factory has been put in operation and various other improve ments adied. The dairy is also an ad dition made during the summer. The new freezing and cooling rooms stand to the north of the farm and were bu'It In connection with the office and pack ing room. The "cold" rooms are built of brick and have a cement floor, great precaution having been taken against allowing the outside air to invade their interior. The chilling room is sep arated from the freezing room by a partition a foot and a hair thick and the two rooms taken together are for ty feet long and each has a width of fifteen feet. The rooms are fooled by a refrigera tion plant which is also an addition to the equipment. The refrigeration is produced in the same manner as the manufacturing of ice. only in the room where ths chill is produced the water drips through the pipes instead of over being used. The packing room is also !n the same building with the refrig erator rooms and at the west of the building a separator room has been built. Great care for the cleanliness of this room has been taken and every can used in the dairy is thoroughly washed by steam before and after milking. South of th? building comes the new ly equipped building for the bottling of the pop used by the Harvey Xews department. This room is 50 feet long r.y 20 feet wide and is built In a most substantial and convenient v.ay. A cement floor has also been laid here The equipment consists of an Ameri can carbinator and a Crown corker, be sides the various other appliances for use in the manufacture of the drink. A. G. Radtke is in charge of this de partment of the work -inrt the caDacitv when running at full blast is 100 cases of pop per day. In the same building Is the engine and boiler room, also the Liinde ice machine for refrigerating purposes. James Reno has charge here. The dairy sheds are built south and west of the engine room and are built in accordance with the other buildings on the farm. At present thirty cows are milked but this provides only for the Arcade hotel at this place- Mr. Cornforih, manager here, buys the cattle for the other dairy stations of which the company have several throughout the west. For the feeding of the cattle the company has leased in the neighborhood of 300 acres of hay and peasture land which adjoin the site always occupied. The poultry farm might be termed an old institution for this place and it is the only one on the Harvey system, the chickens being supplied from this point for the entire line of hotels. For two weeks before the chickens are to be killed they are placed in what is known as the feeding station and are fed upon buttermilk, corn meal, and oat meal which produces fat and also for killing and eating. In the neigh borhood of 3.000 fowls are kept in the feedinar Dens ail the time and the number.' ki'.Ied will average about 1,000 fowls a day. Shipping days at the farm are on Tuesdays and Fridays when a car is loaded for the west- About 1.000 chickens and 150 ducks are put in this car twice a week. The meats for the system are purchased from the Morris Packing company of Kansas City. On Tuesdays and Fridays the meats are shipped for the extreme west, but oth er orders are filled on all days of the week. For the teaming, two teams of horses are kept and they are famil iar to every one in Xewton as they are fine specimens of their kind. E. H. Mueller looks after the work ings of the farm for Keith Cornforth, who is manager. The farm as a whole in its improved condition is a great in stitution for Xewton and particularly the surrounding country as the larger part of the produce is purchased here and from the farmers. Mr. Cornforth buys the larger number of cattle for the other dairies and also the feed to be shipped as far west as the Grand Canyon." The all-time motto holds good with tne Harvey system in all de partments "The best is not too good for you." At the present time twenty three men are employed at the farm and each man has his own line of work to care for. service or died by reason of Injuries sustained. Before this or the Interstate rules were enacted, these things were done without question or hesitation by all roads. GARDNER MOVES IT.

Declaring that the investigation he has conducted since the close of the recent campaign shows that railroad rates are much higher in Oklahoma than in Kansas, or the other states of the union, and that the treat ment of the people of the proposed state bv the railroads is unjust. Congressman elect Bird S. McCJuire announced before leaving Pawnee for Washington today that he would take up the railroad ques tion with the interstate commerce com mission. He said: "The making of the Indian al lotments, with the exception of the home stead taxable through the removal of re strictions will be my chief work in con gress and the fighting of the battle for better freight rates will be my main work before the department at Washington this winter. "The rates affect practically all articles and I will file a request with the Inter state commerce commission for hearings in Oklahoma and that the commission fix a new schedule of rates on a basis of those !n force in Kansas. Missouri and other Mississippi Valley states. "Oklahoma people have been imposed on by the railroads, but the future looks bright.

Xortliwestern Official Becomes Presi dent of tlie Omaha. Chicago, Oct. 23. W. A. Gardner, vice president of the Chicago Xorth western in charge of maintenance and operation, received the congratulations of his many friends today on his pro motion by his election as president of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis Omaha. The promotion comes to Mr. Gardner in recognition of his ability as an operating official, which has been demonstrated continuously since h entered the service of the Northwest ern system twenty-nine years ago. His promotion has been steady and con tinuous, until he has only one more step to place him at the head of the entire Xorthwestern system. As an operating official Mr. Gardner, in the estimation of his confreres, is outranked by none in the country and the universal verdict on his selection as head of the Omaha is that a better man for the position could not have. been round. It will be gratifying to Mr. Gardner's many friends here to know that his promotion does not mean his loss to Chicago. It will not in any way change nis relations to tne Chicago North western proper, of which he still con tinues vice president in charge of main tenance and operation. As such h will continue to have supervision of the creation or tne company s new ter minals In this city, and devote his energies to hurrying the plans to com pletion. AT JACKSON'S TOMB.

Men of affairs, women of society and children with active brains are too often sedentary in their habits, giving little time to exercise. To this evil is added that of high and irregular liv ing aa a result, the stomach cannot stand the demands made upon it. The abused and overtaxed stomach does not properly do the work of digestion, food taken in ferments and the poison permeates the whole system. The body loses in weight and becomes a prey for the attack of whatever disease it may encounter. Did it every occur to you how busy that stomach of yours is? It only holds three pints, but in one year you force it to take in 2,400 pounds of material, digest It and prepare it for assimila tion into the blood. No wonder it re bels when overworked. We crowd it with steaks and pastry, irritate Its juices with spices and acids, and ex pect the stomach to do its work. It can t do it. All over the inner layer of the stom ach are glands which secrete the Juices necessary to digestion. The en trance of food Into the stomach is the signal for these' glands to do their work. The more the food, and the more indigestible, the greater the de mand upon them and upon the muscles of the -wall adjoining. Think of the tons of high-seasoned game, sweetmeats and appetizers crammed into this little four-ounce mill, and then wonder, if you will, why you are dizzy or nauseated or consti pated. Don't blame your stomach or curse your fate that you should be born so unfortunately. Blame your self and apply the remedy. First, get a small package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taking one after each meal and at bed time. They are not a medicine, but a diges tive. Your stomach Is worn out and needs help, not medicine.

TXTI.ti T.F"ASjrT WTB15 REPORT OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal ia a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph rep-rt of that area news OT ganisation 'or tne exclusive wnwj publication In Topka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for thl sola pur pose. Tlia special session habit is a bad one for a State to yet Into. Tho Story of Copper" that one of the magazines is printing is the story ot a fall just at present. Speaking of women's clubs, the rolling pin and broomstick do not appear to be losing- any of their popularity. When Uncle Joe Cannon swore off smoking he also might have experiment ed with swearing off on the swearing habit. The president says the bears in Louisiana haven't bad any better time than he has. If they have, it certainly Isn't his fault. What a big trade the express com panies would build up in Washington during congress if the District of Co lombia should go prohibition! Notwithstanding Mr. Ripley's pes simism, the Banta Fa is buying 52 new engines for use In moving its freight traffic and that is what is needed. Here is another objection to electing Cyrus Leland governor: What would the federal court do when it needs a capable receiver for some big Job? Here is another effect of the pure food law: You discover that the ten pound sack of graham flour you "used to buy now weighs only 9 H pounds. Still, by not having an east wind Monday Kansas missed the danger of being hit in the neck with a bag ballast, even if we did not see a bal loon. Mr. Bryan says "It is difficult to state what the paramount question of the day may be," which doubtless means that Mr. Bryan has not made up his mind. Taft turned down a cocktail In Ma nila. If that Indiana Methodist con ference were still in session would it elect him as a delegate to the general conference? Harrlman says that the people must Change their ideas of finance, yet Joe Bristow is impertinent enough to sug gest that Mr. Harrlman change his methods of finance. As we understand it, if The Hague conference has its way, the wars of the future will be nice, friendly affairs, In which one side will not take undue advantage of the other. Wall street's motto is, "Anything to beat Roosevelt," even if it has to take Hughes to do It. And that Indicates tolerably deep hatred of the presi dent on Wall street's part. Tou cannot wonder that the newspa pers frequently favor revivals. After the big one up at Jewell City one for mer sinner came in and paid the edi tor $10.50 on back subscription. Special sessions of the legislature are for use only in case of emergency. And they should be used for no other purpose. Just now the state of Kan sas can worry along without one. It la said that part of the slump In Missouri Facifio etock is due to the re ports of the bad conditions of its track. It does not always pay a railroad to be economical at the expense of safety. If Congressman Burton is defeated In Cleveland by the present mayor. It la suggested that the next Democratic national ticket be headed, "Johnson and Johnson." But which would be which? The opinion appears to have a deep hold among those who know anything about It, that Congressman James Mon roe Miller will find that George Tucker knows how to run when It comes to a political race. Evidently the paragrapher of the Kansas City Post is willing to make experiments and learn. "We don't know what the "soul kiss Is," he says, "but if it ta any improvement on the Nether sole, trot it along." Congressman Reeder of the Sixth district la opposed to reducing the tariff because, he says, "Men with mall capital would not put their money into competing plants." Won der if Mr. Reeder knows how "much like a joke that sounds. Says the Kansas City Star: "David Mulvane opposes a direct primary In Kansas for the reason that the election of delegates te the national convention under the primary plan would conflict with the provision for the election of these delegates by the national commit tee. But Is it reasonable to suppose that a national convention -would re fuse to seat a state delegation elected by the people? Isn't it possible that the national committee could change the old form of its call for a conven tion by a provision which would recog nise the growing sentiment in favor of the primary system? Surely Mr. Mul vane does not mean to suggest that the national committee holds that the form of electing delegates is "sacred' like the tariff schedules, for instance." REAPING THE WHIRLWIND. -It is quite evident that New York Is having the worst shaking up it has had in many years financially. The great financial center of the nation Is in financial straits. Its financiers are having trouble meeting their obliga- tions. The suspension of the big Knickerbocker Trust company yester day, after paying only $8,000,000 of its $60,000,000 deposits, shows how seri ous tho trouble is. Whatever may be the immediate cause of the collapse, primarily it is the old story of reaping the whirl wind. Wall Street has been doing business on wind, and this is the re sult. Its supposed wealth is made up largely of credit and greatly inflated credit at that. There was too little actual wealth behind it. Its stocks and securities did not represent real values. As long as the flood of money kept up from other parts of the coun try, this credit these false values- was maintained, but when the regions where the real wealth is made began to keep their money at home for their own use. Wall Street's house of cards tumbled. That the producing parts of the country are not greatly Involved in this New York financial trouble is in dicated by the dispatches from all the financial centers of the west. It is likely that eastern cities may feel the stringency which must naturally fol low this trouble In New York for banks and men with money will ex ercise greater care than ever in mak ing loans and investments. The west, however,' has an abundance of money for Its own needs, with some millions left over for the east. Interest rates may be higher, especially on eastern commercial paper, but the farming and mining and lumber regions, which furnish the primary wealth of the na tion, will be little affected by the troubles of New York's supposed financiers In getting back to solid earth and sound values. NEW ENGLAND ALSO. Who said the east is not for President Roosevelt's policies? If whoever Is guilty included New England as a part of "the east." he has another guess coming. Not only Is New England for the president's policies, but it is also over whelmingly for Taft for president, it the figures produced by the Chicago Tribune can be relied upon. The Trib une, which a few weeks ago made a poll of leading Republican officials and editors in the Middle West to ascertain something of public sentiment regard ing the presidential question, has Just concluded a similar poll In the six New England states, and it shows the senti ment there to be just about as it is in the west. Out of about 520 Republican congress men, editors and party leaders heard from. 441 said they approve President Roosevelt's progressive policies, and only 67 said they do not, while 12 were non-committal. That does not look as though NeNv England Is opposed to cor poration regulation. Not only that, but every one of the six New England states declare over whelmingly for Taft. Of the total num ber of Republican leaders heard from, 289 are for Taft for first choice; 139 are for Hughes, and 94 insist on having Roosevelt again. Of the latter number all but 11 are for Taft If they can't get Roosevelt again. The other candidates. Cannon, Fairbanks, et al., are in the "also ran" class. Vermont develops more Hughes sen timent than any other state, giving him 47 votes, yet It gives Taft 68, with 28 more for Roosevelt which are nearly ail for Taft for second choice. The Tribune is continuing its work of polling the country. We hear a great deal about New York being opposed to Roosevelt's policies, but that noise may all come from Wall Street and its sub urbs. Of course. It will not be surpris ing if New York is for Hughes for pres ident, but that would not mean that it Is against Roosevelt's policies. It looks as though Wall Street and some of the railroad magnates are alone in that re spect, and even the latter are coming Roosevelt's way on many propositions. It is certain that the Pacific coast will be just as solid for Taffas is the Mid dle West. Unless Mr. Foraker can work up some antl-Taft sentiment In the south, his boast that he will yet beat the big secretary of war will get a most terrific Jolt. NOW AVE SHALL SEE. A legal action, the result of which will probably be of tremendous im portance, has been started In Minne sota and will be taken at once to the United States supreme court. It in volves the question of states' rights in general In regulating corporations, and particularly the power of federal courts to step In and stop the enforce ment of laws duly passed by state leg islatures. A federal court In Minnesota enjoin ed the attorney general from attempt ing to enforce a certain measure. The attorney general did not obey the in junction and the federal judge arrested and fined him for contempt of court. Now the attorney general will imme diately appeal to the United States su preme court for a writ of habeas cor pus, which will bring the whole ques tion before that high tribunal for ac tion. Now we ought to discover whether a law duly passed by a legislature shall be considered binding until it is de clared otherwise by a court of last re sort, or whether it shall be considered THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER null and void when;; it "conflicts with the wishes jf some corporation until the state proves that it is good. In the past it has been the custom of some federal judges, when a cor poration has alleged that a law is un constitutional, to stop Its operation until it has been proven to be valid. JOURNAL ENTRIES "There is a disquieting rumor abroad," says the Wichita Eagle, "to the effect that the State University's School of Journalism is putting out graduates who can't tell a three-em dash from a caduey." This department rises to a point of order on the spelling of that last word. We claim it should be "cadooey."

Is Mr. B. A. Belt, who is starting a new paper at Leonardville, any rela tion to our old friend, the Wheat Belt? We have not yet seen It mentioned anywhere, but we wish to advance the theory that the cost of living is taking part in those St. Louis balloon races. Another man comes forward to say that he can locate the Benders. He may have an idea where they are, but it is feared that the locality is too heated to make an Investigation prac ticable. Don't blame the county attorney be cause some resolutions refer to him as "the Hon. John Schenck." He cannot help it when they call him "the Hon. Schenck." i JAYHAWKER JOTS "Rumor says the Barnum show lost money in Kansas." comments an ex change. Rumor always was something ox a liar. A Stafford county banker bought a new-fangled clock and then fastened it to the ceiling of his bank. Just to make people ask questions- Bert GIbbs of Arkansa City, has made thirty-four trips to New York with shipments of poultry. That's a long way to take hens to market. Mr. Belt has moved the Windom Press to Leonardville. Now he wilt probably take himself up a few- notches and get down to work. Ottawa is puffed up again. "Billy" Deford Is in charge of the suit against the Western Union and Postal Tele graph companies in New York to for feit their charters on the ground that they are In a trust. Speaking of the wealth of the wheat belt, the Salina Journal cites the fact that the Barnard Weekly Bee ran an insert last week with one side blank. And paper is selling for three and a half cents a pound! The Hill City Republican was re cently asked to begin a campaign against the practice of throwing waste paper In the streets but owing to the fact that it was keeping up the in surance on a glass house just at that time it explained that it didn't feet like starting a controversy. A Kansas prosperity item from the Sabetha Herald: 'George Miller, who married Miss Rebecca Cramer in Sabetha twenty years ago and is well known here, was visiting his wire s relatives here last week on his way to Kansas City with a load of cattle. Mr. Miller says that when he and his bride went to Norton county for their wedding triD thev were $900 to the bad. He went in debt for a farm near Norcatur. In twenty years he nas naid for that farm and bought more land until ne now owns ana rarms i,- 200 acres. He has also raised a nne family of ten girls and boys. The boys do most of the farming for him while he oversees all branches. Besides the farm he has $4,000 in the bank. For many years the butter and eggs from hia nlace have nald all the family grocery bills, and groceries for a fam ily of twelve mean something." Atchison Globe: There is a well-to- do farmer living near Atchison who gets on a queer Jag every time he comes to town. When he reaches the reeling stage, he imagines he is su n.rinttniiMit of the Missouri Pacific system. He reels about, giving orders to evervone ne meets, o.i railroad slang, and it Is funny to hear Mm bawl out his orders. He walks up to a man and tells him that he is the superintendent, and then begins talking about "train 146." Whenever he becomes superintendent, he is baa enough for the policemen, and they cut him down and haul him to the po lice station. He had a terrible time last night. There was a head-on col lision near Omaha Junction, and he ilT11r an over Commercial street, yelling for the wrecking crew to go out when a policeman took him in charge. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Do so well today that you need not long for tomorrow. "She's pretty," an Atchison young man says of a certain girl, "but she'll scratch." Some people claim a lot of credit for not roaring with pain when a pin sticks them. History Is to the effect that men's sins always find them out; but men continue to bet that they won't. You may be invited to ride to the polls In a hack, but you can bet you will not be Invited to ride home. When a man moves to a strange town, how do the people there know he Is to be called "Judge," or "Colo nel If a man felt sentimental enough to want to hold his wife's hand, he could never find it when it didn't have a broom, the frying pan or the baby's bottle In ic When a hard and steady working man puts on his Sunday clothes, he looks as if he were looking for a chance to sneak out of them and get back to work. We men are a wonderful lot, of course, but the statistics of life in surance companies show that thirty out of forty of us are burled at some body else's expense. Thers is a time In the life of a fe male baby when you are not expected to take off your hat to It In the streets. At what age does the child expect it: At ten, fourteen, or sixteen? We are always hearing that this or that man will In time come out all right, and that he would be all right if he had a chance; but the great de mand of the hour Is for men who amount to something NOW, whether they have a chance or not. Mother and daughter carried a rocking chair without a rocker up stairs; on a second trip they took up a lounge with one leg off and the springs broken, and on the third trip they carried a collection of enlarged pictures of kin. What were they go ing to do with them? Why, they were engaged in making a Den for Father. KANSAS COMMENT NO DODGING. There will be no dodging, when the assessor comes around next time.

Le Roy Reporter. RELIGION. In a letter to the Signal a correspond ent asks: "What is the best system of religion?" Dear brother, in our hum ble opinion, the best "system" of re ligion is that which brings to you the greatest peace and comfort. The only religion we know In this country Is the Christian religion based on the teach ings of Jesus a religion which, we believe, has been a marvelous aid to mankind. As John J. Ingalls once Bald: "Pilate and Herod and Caesar, the kings and heroes and philosophers of that time, are nothing. No one cares that they lived or died, but millions now would die rather than surrender their faith in Jesus." The details of a man's belief, the denomination with which he shall affiliate, the manner in -which he shall practice his religion, the ideas he mav have of heaven and of hell, his conception of his duty to God and his fellowmen, are questions which he must fight out for himself; and his accountability, so long as his conduct transgresses not the rights of others, is to his Maker alone. Every man should strive to live in such a manner that when he places his head op his pillow at night It will be with the feeUng that he is at peace with his God, his family, his friends and' his banker. A religion which brings so fine a feeling what ever It may be called Is worth striving for. Perhaps this isnot an orthodox view, but we arq answering our corres pondent's question to the best of our ability. Holton Signal. PSYCHOLOGY.

"When a boy I used to dwell," Bo the story goes, they tell; Down among the buzzy bees, 'Neath the shade of old oak trees. Where the birctiinss all day long Serenaded with their song And that's going pretty strong! There I spent life's golden hours Working hard for me no flowers.'. Ever scented up my cup With a single off-day sup All I did was toil for fair Never reached the "old armchair" -Father always beat me there. "On our little cabin door" Hung a dirty towel, and o'er Trailed the spiders' webs not vines. Mother's songs (between the lines) Was to do some kind of chore, P. d. q., then do some more "Happy days!" Is dopey lore! Cutting loose from all romance; Breaking up the nature trance. Is, to state the facts, the farm Never held a whit of charm; And we "boys" who toiled from break Of dawn till dark now take Time to brand "the farm" a fake A very dreamy nature fake! Indianapolis News. The Future of the Pacific. It is generally conceded, I believe, by the best and most farslghted minds, that the greatest world trade of the future is to be across the Pacific. For centuries trade centered in the Medi terranean, with the result that the largest and most important cities of that time were formed on the shores of southern Europe and northern Africa. The discovery of America, then a wilderness, centered trade later In the Atlantic, and the most impor tant cities of the world then grew up on the shores of western Europe and eastern America. So the cities of the Pacific coast of America in time will probably be in proportion to the trade across the Pacific, and the trade across an ocean, other things being equal, is in proportion to the number of people who live along its borders. Today the Pacific coast of the United States has about one-twelfth as many people as live along the Atlantic sea board; yet the shores of the Pacific are many times richer in natural resources than are those of the Atlantic. There is hardly any comparison between the sterile hills of New England and the garden valleys of Washington. Oregon and California. California alone it, broadly speaking, two-thirds the size of France, and is easily capable of sup porting 20,000,000 people. France sup ports 40,000,000. Along the lower half of the western seacoast, for hundreds of miles, there Is but one world harbor San Francisco. This fact alone in sures to the Golden Gate a city as large as Paris, or even larger. It may be San Francisco, or Oakland, or any other point on the great bay; in a large sense it matters not what the local point or name Is, or will be. The im portant fact Is that at the Golden Gate there Is to be an American city of from two to five million people. The growth of this city or of any of the other cities on the Pacific coast will not be sudden, but It will be In exact propor tion to the pressure of population in American, the awakening of Asia as Janan has awakened and the de velopment of other Pacific shores. Chauncey Thomas In Success Maga zine. Corporation Publicity. As regards the great corporations, the innocent stockholder is to be con sidered auite as much as the outside public. The stockholder cannot be too grateful to the government at Washington for what it nas Deen ao Ing to enforce publicity. We must continue to do business on the large scale under corporate forms, and shares of stock in railroad and in dustrial undertakings must be stand ardized and made safe for general In vestment here as in European coun tries. Other corporations must be made to follow the example of the United States Steel Corporation, for example. In permitting the investigat ing public to understand what is go ing on. The present action to dissolve the Standard Oil company will in the long run have been valuable, prin cipally in the publicity to which it is subjecting the affairs of that gigantic enterprise. It may be predicted with some safety that this prosecution with its disclosures marks the end of the old period of the Standard Oil com pany's regime of mystery and secrecy.

THE EVENING STORY In the Attic. (By Temple Bailey.) Miss Cynthia's attio was fragrant with aromatic herbs. Little bags of lavender-and of dried rose leaves hung from the rafters and mingled their delicate perfume with the coarser aroma of sage and sweet marjoram and thyme and summer savory. On autumn afternoons the attic waa golden with sunshine, and from, the little peaked window one could see the long white road and the blue hills beyond. It was to this fragrant and gold lighted attic that Miss Cynthia would come when the summer rush was over, and in its peace and quiet try to forget that she waa worn and, wor ried and withered. At thirty-five one should not be worried and withered. But hard lives do not make for youth and freshness, and Miss Cynthia had always drudged. Work had been the watchword on the farm, and when prosperity had come in later years the habit of keeping summer boarders had become fixed, and even after the death of her par ents Miss Cynthia had continued it. But with September came rest and freedom, and it was then that Miss Cynthia sought the attic and wrote in her diary The diary was a safe outlet for her woes. There were pages blotted with the tears she had shed when she had closed the volume of her first ro mance, and two leaves, on which she had penned a poetic swan song of af fection, were pinned togetherwith a black pin! Miss Cynthia had old-fashioned ideas about love. She had loved once, and hence there could be no other af fair. It mattered nothing that the man in the case was married and had grown fat and puffy and uninterest ing. It was not the man, but the idea, and to that idea Miss Cynthia was true! To be sure, no second suitor had entered her life, so that there had been no severe tax upon her con stancy. But the roses had gone out of her cheeks when she was twenty, and she had twisted her hair In an uncompromising knot and had, at that early date, given herself up to mourn ing and to memories. "You're silly," Martha Ann told her one bright September morning, as Miss Cynthia, with her black diary in her hand prepared to ascend to the attic. "Why don't you go out and vis it and have a good time. Instead of writing In that dark old place?' Martha Ann was an old and privi leged servant, but Miss Cynthia would brook no interference with her acts of affliction. t dnn' think- srnod times are my portion, Martha Ann," she said, and went up the stairway thoughtfully. Halfway up she paused to say: "Make a good vegetable soup for lunch, Martha Ann. I'll throw down a bunch of my herbs. Soup will taste good on a cool day." "Love," wrote Miss Cynthia in her little book, "is of man's life a thing apart; 'tis woman's whole existence!" When she had rounded off the last prim letter, she bit the end of her pen cil and sighed and looked out of the peaked window. Far down the road she could see a cloud of dust. Coming nearer, the cloud showed Itself the forerunner of an automobile. The big machine swerved out of the road and Into Miss Cynthia's own drive. It stopped at her door, and she had to lean far out of the peaked window to see Martha in "her gingham apron speaking to the occupant. Miss Cynthia could not hear a word, and she almost fell over the sill in the effort to satisfy her curiosity. She saw Martha Ann go in, and presently she felt a pull at the back of her dress. "Goodness," Martha Ann said cross ly, "I called and called, and I couldn't make you hear. That man wants some thing to eat." "What?" Miss Cynthia gasped. "But he doesn't look like a tramp, Martha Ann." "Tramos don't ride In automobiles," Martha Ann sniffed; "he says he's been riding all the morning, and he Just couldn't find a place to eat, and he would be glad to pay for a meal. He understood that we took boarders, he said." "Well, you go down and hurry the soup and make an omelette and some hot biscuits and I win talk to mm. Martha' Ann." "You'd better stop In your room and primp a little," Martha Ann advised; -he's awfullv good looking." "The idea," said Miss Cynthia, with dis-nltv. She was a little sorry, however, when she reached the sitting room that ah-i had not taken the girl's advice. For the man that she greeted was big and blond and prosperous looking. It de veloped that he slurred his grammar, but as he leaned back in the biggest rocking chair and talked in his hearty voice. Miss cyntnia aecwea mat ne was very attractive. "I exnect you think it's queer my dronnin' in on you this wajr ne saia as Martha Ann announced lunch. "But I couldn't pass the popples and the peonlies in the yard. My mother used to have an old-fashioned garden, and there was something about yours that reminded me of it, and I felt as if vou'd arive me a home-cooked meal. A man gets tired of hotels." Over the steaming, savory soup ne explained still more. "This Is tne Kina x ukb, ne nam. With all the vegetables in it, and herbs I'll bet you've got a lot of herbs tied up In your attic my moth er had. She said the attic was the pleasantest place in the house, and I used to think so. too." Miss Cynthia felt at last she had met an understanding soul. "Would you like to go up after lunch she asked eagerly, "there la a fine view from the little dormer win dow." "My how nice it smells." said the big man as he seated himself In Miss Cynthia's favorite corner. The black diary lay open by his side. His eyes caught the line, "Love Is of a man's life a thing apart: 'Tis woman's whole existence." "Oh, tommy-rot," he said, "did you write that?" "Yes," Miss Cynthia admitted, "Byron said it. you know?" "Well, he didn't know what he was talking about. Why, If I loveTl a wo man I should just love her all over no half-way business for me." "Oh," Miss Cynthia gasped. There waa something in his tone that made his statement next door to a declara tion a fervency that positively thrilled her. "I am awfully glad I came," he said as they went downstairs, "I am a stranger in this neighborhood, but if you will let me come again I will be mighty glad. It seems like my own folks." "You must come real often." Miss Cynthia urged, and hoped that Martha Ann would not hear her invitation. "Gee, this is the way to live." said her visitor as he stood on the steps and surveyed the quiet garden, the family of gray pussy cats in the sunny I porch corner, the gray horse in tht P"I ahould think traveling rJ your automobile would be interest ing." Miss Cynthia ventured. "Well, 'tis," he agreed. Do you like it?" a ivri.. "I have never been In one, miss Cynthia admitted. "What?" he asked.

"I wouldn't go in one things if you'd give it to me, Martha Ann said, "and he's all right. I saw his name on a bundle of PaP left in the automobile.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTBNAL--WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1907. 5 BIG TIME TONIGHT Glove Sale Men's vei AND RONCHITIS Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured A NOTED physician offers to prove that Asthma and Bronchitis are curable, not only to sufferers in To peka, but to every man, woman or child in America who is suffering from either of these complaints, who will send him their name and address at once. He will do eo by sending them a free trial treatment of his remedy. He believes that an actual personal test will be the most convincing, and, in fact, the only way to overcome the natural prejudice of thousands of Asthmatics who have heretofore sought relief in vain. Although almost every druggist in the United States, not only in the large cities, but in the small villages as well, now has this remedy, which is sold under the name of Dr. R. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure in stock, still there are a number of persons who have not yet heard of it, and it is with a view of reaching these that he offers to send his free trial treatment. Dr. Schiffmann claims that in every case of true Asthma his remedy will instantly relieve the most violent attack, usually within 15 seconds always within as many minutes. Positively thousands of cases which were considered incurable have been permanently cured by this remedy, as many volun tary testimonials abundantly prove. But why rely upon the testimony of others when you yourself are thus afford ed such a liberal opportunity- of making a personal test of it? You are positively under no obligations or expense in sending for the free trial treatment he offers, whether it does or does not help you. The sufferer who gets a sam ple can tell in a few minutes whether it is as represented, and it does not cost him a cent. That is fair, isn't it? Just write your name and address plainly on a postal nothing else is necessarv just your name and address, and mail today to Dr. R. Schiffmann, 301 W. Sixth Street, St. Paul, Minn., and he will understand that you want a sample pickag-e and will send it by return mail, absolutely free of charge. Write at once, as no free samples will be sent after Nov. loth. Guarantee Offer Any sufferer who might prefer to start immediate treat ment, instead of waiting to send for and receive the free trial treatment, is made this guarantee: Go to your drug gist and buy a 50c or SI package of Dr. R. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure. Use it according to directions. After using, say one-fourth of the package, if it doee not benefit you and do exactly as represented, return the balance of the package to Dr. R. Schiffmann, St. Paul, Minn., by mail, write him at the same time, telling him the name and ad dress of the druggist where you bought it, and he will promptly and cheerfully refund your money. Sufferers in the country or small towns can get the remedy from their druggist or dealer just as well as those in the cities, as almost all of them in the United States now keep it in stock. This is not a catch-penny schema, but a legitimate guar antee offer to skeptical sufferers, and it is known that Dr. Schiffmann is responsible, and it is certain that he intends to fulfill the above proposition up to the very letter. A Card to the Public- Executive Department, City of St. Paul, Minn. To Whom it May Concern Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, late President of the Board of1. Education of this city, has been known to me for more than 25 years as an ac complished physician in his specialty, and I cordially recommend him as in every way worthy of the fullest confidence. rr. .r. ROBERT A. SMITH,' 1 Mayor 6fSt. Paul tl Write for FREE SAMPLfciiw LET THEM COMBINE Sctli Low's Solution of the ltnllrouil Problem. Chicago. Oct. 23. A plea for the passage of a law which would permit combinations between railroads, after the terms of their proposed agreement had been submitted to the interstate commerce commission and had been approved by that body, was made by Seth Low, former mayor of New York. In an address on "National Control of Railroads' at the Trust conference. He believes that such agreements, he said. If perfectly understood by the public at the time of making made with the authority of the public and subject to revision by the same author, lty in case of need may reasonably be expected to work in the public inter est. "It is the things that are done in secret, without public knowledge, and often without regard to the public in terest, from which the public suffers," raid Mr. Low. "In an age like this, when the large unit is demonstrating Its economy in everything; when the steamships are larger than ever be fore: when locomotives are more pow erful than ever before; when every sort of combination In mechanics is on a scale greater than ever dreamed of In any previous epoch; it is not only idle to suppose that the industries and transportation systems of the country can be successfully conducted in small units, but it is also manifestly to the disadvantage of the public to try to have them so conducted. The large corporation has demonstrated its effi ciency, and its economy, too strongly to leave any room for doubt that in i country like ours. If the people are to be well served, there must be large combinations in the transportation service, as elsewhere. The problem is how to secure the benefit of such com binations, without suffering the evils which they are also capable of de veloping. The answer that has been suggested, outside of government own- HOME FAT REDUCER Works Rapidly and Safely Requires Xo Exercising and Allows You to :at What You Like Cut Tills ut. For the benefit of those who wish to re duce their flesh quickly and safely we will give the receipt and directions in full for a simple household remedy that can be obtained at triflins cost from any good drug store: hi ounce Marir.ola. i ouree Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and .V4 ounces Syrup Simplex. All three are cheap and wholesome.but you should take to get an unbroken package so that you get Marmola and not a substitute. When you get home mix the three together by shaking them together in a large bottle and take one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Follow these directions and you will have the best fat reducer that mon ey can buy It will take oft tne rie. n at the rate of at least two pounds a week without disarranging the stomach or causing wrinkles, while, best of all, no ex ercising or dieting is required to help It out. You can get results and at the same time take things easy and eat what you like as much as you like and whenever jrou like ii ership and operation, is governmental control: and that control ought to be so devised as both to permit and to encourage combinations and Joint agreements between railroads when ever these are In the public interest. The two things that are necessary to make such regulation effective are, first of all. a recognition that the rail road service of the country is really a part of the public service, although it is conducted through private agencies: and. secondly, that the object of gov ernmental control of the private agen cies doing this business, is not to limit their activities, but to make sure that all their activities are conceived, first and last. In the public Interest. This is really the democratization of business." WANT THE CASH. Government Sues Rock Island Fines Assessed. for The United States is asking the Rock Island and Frisco railroads to pay $4,500 in the way of fines for alleged violations of the 2S hour law in suits filed Tuesday in the Vnitecl States dis trict court. A suit showing four distinct alleged violations on the part of the Rock Is land and asking for $2,000, and a suit asking $2,500 on five different counts from the Frisco are the sum total. The 28 hour law provides that cattle being shipped must be unloaded for feed and rest at least every twenty eight hours. In one count mentioned in the suit against the Rock Island it is stated that a shiDment of cattle rout ed from New Mexico to Herington. Kansas, was on the road for 68 hours and thirty minutes before being un loaded for feed and rest, while thi most flagrant instance cited in the suit &gainst the Frifco a shipment of cattle from Hardy, Arkansas, to Kansas City. Kansas, was on the road 42 hours and 45 minutes before being unloaded for the required rest and feed. WAS XOT HEB SISTER. Mrs. Jp.ckson Says Some One Else Thoned Sheriff of Davis Elopement. Mrs. H. K. Jackson of 516 Fillmore street takes exception to the story published in last night's State Journal that an elopement occurred in which her daughter and "Red" Davis were the participants. Mrs. Jackson's state ment of the affair is as follows: "My daughter is of age and old enough to know her own mind and she and Mr. Davis went to the country Sunday to spend a portion of the day and re turned at 4 o'clock. "There is no truth In the statement that her sister telephoned to Sheriff Wilkerson that they were eloping and that there was beer, and whisky in abundance in the car on which they rode. Whoever notified the sheriff to this effect did so with the purpose of causing trouble and the statement was without foundation." GROCERS NOW BEWARE. Dr. "Crumbine Has His Smelling Com mittee at Work. Orders have been issued by Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, and chief food inspector of Kansas, for taking samples of food products on sale In the state, to be analyzed for the purpose of seeing whether the retail food -sellers are obeying the pure food laws. This order wiil make the retail gro cers, butchers, and all food sellers sit up and take notice. Up to this time no effort has been made to apply the penalties of the law to delinquents. In the future, a grocer caught selling food which does not comply with the law is likely to be subjected to a fine or jail sentence. Thirty food samples were taken yes terday at Lawrence, and each of the food inspectors has received instruc tions to take samples in whatever town he may happen to be. The sam ples taken at Lawrence consisted of hamburg steak, canned goods, jellies, preserved fruits and jams. Bright red hamburg steak is usually preserved with sulfites, to make it stay fresh and bright. The use of preserva tives is contrary to law, because pre served food will not digest In the hu man stomach. Usually when hamburg steak is "embalmed" the work Is done by the retailer himself, and he must pay the penalty.V Canned goods, jellies, etc.. are of course sold to the retailer by his whole sale house, and the law protects th retailer whenever he can produce a guarantee signed by his wholesaler. Whenever the retailer Is protected by such a guarantee, and his goods ar found defective, the penalty is visited 5,000 pairs of sample shoes and Oxfords for men, women and chil dren on sale at less than manufac turers' cost.

"The state is now in shape to make analyses of these food samples," said Dr. Crumbine this morning, "and to proceed with the rigid enforcement of the law. All food sellers and whole salers have been given ample time to prepare themselves to obey the law. The time limit was October 1. At the state university they have prepared a special laboratory for food analyses, with two experts in charge, and a spec ial laboratory for the analysis of drugs. At the State Argircultural col lege. Prof. Willard has a special as sistant for analytical work, and has en larged his laboratory facilities to take care of this business. We will continue taking samples of food products when ever we have reason to believe that there Is anything wrong with the goods on the shelves of the stores. We will not only examine food stuffs which are sold as pure and- unadulterated, but we will examine the articles which are sold under labels stating that they contain adulerants. -There are certain adulterants which are permitted under the law, provided the label on the pack age states exactly what the package contains, but we must assure ourselves that these labels are correct, and that there are no unlawful labels being used." HE WAS EATING AVEEDS. Charles Wlilte Could Find Nothing Else to Devour. Last evening the police were called to the Rock Island bridge to capture a crazy man. It was reported that a very dirty person was eating weeds, and was therefore insane. The police captured the person in question, who seems to be a mild specimen of the Hobocus Americanos, or professional toil-notter. He was lunching on weeds, as adver tised, but It was because the hand-out trade had been slack, and he needed some substance, to pry his stomach loose from his backbone. Charles White, as he gave his name, said that he was an invalid, and had not worked for many moons. He was so lirty that the whites of his eyes presented the only semblance of humanity, and he soon proved conclusively that his hunger was not assumed. Since his incarcera tion he has eaten not only his own al lowance of food, but cleaned up tho remnants left by the rest of the prison ers. He is bathing on the instalment plan, and this morning had succeeded in removing the first three crusts down to his waist- The jailer asked him how he was get ting along, and he replied: "I hope to get my feet washed by noon. Sir, might it be possible for one to acquire a shirt? Such a garment would be quite accept able to me at the present time." Charles has been fined $50 for vag rancy, but this is a Joke, and he will be chased out of our fair city within the week. "My good man." said the lady mission ary, ""do you ever pause to think where you are going?" "Sure t'lng." replied the unlaundered hobo.

The state" -board -of control has started: art agitation for the erection of a special asylum for the care or criminal insane. In a bulletin given out today, the board urges that Kan sas provide some means for taking care of such, cases, and in discussing the matter says: "Too much cannot bo said against the placing of the criminal Insane into the state hospitals for the other in sane. It is grossly unfair to the law abiding and peaceful citizen whose mind, for some reason, becomes un balanced to compel him to associate and mingle with a hardened criminal whose mind has become effected by reason of his life, of crime and dis sipation. Our hospitals are pushing forward along lines of allowing the inmates the greatest possible freedom, doing away, as far as can be done, with barred windows or restraint of any kind. This system can not be followed with safety in handling the criminal Insane, and their presence tn our state hospitals is always a dis turbing element. They are not satis fied to simply make their own escape, but endeavor to excite unrest among the other patients and nearly always, sooner or later escape from the insti tution, sometimes taking one or more other patients with them. "Kansas should make some ar rangement for this class and provide for their separate care and treatment. While there is a special ward for in sane convicts at the penitentiary, there is no provision made to detain a convict there after his term of im prisonment is ended, and by reason of the inadequate facilities provided at the present time for proper care and treatment of insane convicts In this special ward, the statutes provide for the transfer of Insane convicts, both from the penitentiary and the Hutchinson Industrial Reformatory-, to the state hospitals for the Insane."

Will Cost in Neighborhood of Fire Thousand Dollars. Cottages for' Employes to Be Built at Pumping Plant. If an investigation had not been made of one of tl)e boilers at the up river pumping station of the city waterworks and steps taken imme diately to guard -against any accident an explosion might have occurred that would have 'wrecked' the entire plant and killed several persons. The oldest boiler at the station, one which has been in service for the past eighteen years, is found to be badly cracked near the low pressure cylin ders. The entire front of the engine will probably have to be rebuilt at a cost of $5,000. V According to C. E. Jewell, one of the members of the board of trustees, one of the engineers at -the plant knew that a crack existed when the plant was first purchased by the city but said nothing about it. Lately in mak ing an investigation of the engine it was discovered that the crack had ex tended and that repairs would have to be made or an explosion might tak place. "It's something that will have to be done right away and we are now get ting an estimate of the cost of repair ing the engine," said Jewell. "If we don't attend to it -we might have an explosion out there that would tear out the entire south wall of the plant. It will probably cost somethin- like $5,000. and just as soon as we find out what the estimate that we have asked for amounts to we will give the order for the contract." The question at issue in making the repairs is whether it will be necessary to order an entire new set of high and low pressure cylinders or whether the cylinders now in use can be dismantled and shipped east for repairs. It is thought that the tatter method would be the cheaper. While the repairs' are being made to this engine the Harrison street pump ing station will be put into use again and will serve to furnish an extra sup ply of water for emergency purposes. The pumps at the up river station are in good shape, says Mr. Jewell, and all of the boilers. Whether the engineer who concealed the condition of the engine from the board of trus tees will be discharged is something that the board of trustees has yet not decided upon. The $5,000 which will piobably be- incurred In repairs is in the nature of an unexpected expense and will haSnper In a-manner some of the plans fofc.betterments rb the plant and in water i-ate reduction. -."Two cottages will be .erected Jn the near1 future for employes at tne wa terworks puluping plant in order to keep an adequate number of employes at all times, a,t -the,, station,, (One en gineer andone .fireman havejouarters at the plant, living on the second flrrf hntitn case" fvan accidint or a big fire ift, which ciei a larger Thumber than the regular shift of employes are necessary a serious delay would be incurred for several of the employes live in the city, one living in East To peka. To obviate this delay the board of waterworks trustees plan to erect two cottages on the grounds near the plant and rent them to the employes. If we -have a small colony there we can always nave someDoay extra around In case of an emergency and for that reason we think it would be wise to put up a couple of houses and rent them to the men," said Mr. Jewell. Though the erection of the cottages and the rebuilding of the one engine will use up close to $10,000 the trus tees still hope, if there are not exten sive main extensions demanded, to make some reduction in the present rates. Within one' year the trustees believe that they will be in a position to announce certain reductions which though not radfea! in nature will still make an appreciable difference as compared to the rates now in effect. Ill KT BY A STUDENT, Prof John H. Hoehner, High School Teacher, in Serious Condition. As a result of an attack by a stud ent Prof John H. Hoehner, instructor in mechanical drawing? at the Topeka high school, is lying critically ill from concussion of the brain at his home. 700 Tyler street. The offender was Harry L. Schmidt, a student at the high school. The trouble between Prof. Hoehner and Schmidt frew out of a football squabble. Prof Hoehner as manager of the high school football team de clared Schmidt ineligible on account of ioor school work and would not let him accompany the high school team to Kansas C!tj- last Saturday. Last Friday afternoon while the team was practicing. Hoehner broke the news to Schmidt- Schmidt a little later in the afternoon was engaged In a fist fight with another member of the team and Mr. Hoehner attempted to separate the belligerents. Schmidt turned on the teacherand struck him several severe blows In critical places about the held and as a result the re covery of Mr. Hoehner is very doubt ful. Howevrr. the tssiTilt of Schmidt was probab'y not the only contribut ing cause to Mr. Koehner's present condition. Abou- three weeks ago he was the victim of a prank by some of his friends who dragged him out of bed and In the melee which followed Pro?. Hoehner struck his besd on the floor quite violently. A short time eXierwards while riding a motor cycle he ws-s thrown from the wheel and landed on his head So critical has his condition be come that a brother. E. P Hoehner, a cirn engineer of the Tnion Pacific sys tem, came yesterday to look after his brother. Mr. Hoehner is a young man of twenty-three years and has Just commenced his second year's work with the high school. He is a very popular teacher and has been al ways on friendly terms with the high school athletes who admired him very murb. He is a graduate of the St. Louis Macual training college. Schmidt has been expelled from school as a result of his vicious tactics. TT! home is -at 118 Fillmore street. ASKED TO MEET IN TOPEKA.. Governor Hocb Wants Session With Reformatory Board October 28. Governor Hoch has sent an invitation to the members of the board of man agers of the Hutchinson reformatory to hold their next regular meeting in To peka instead of in Hutchinson. The meeting is set for October 28, Monday. At that time the transcript of evi dence in the Marshall investigation will probably be completed, and the board can take up the consideration of the charges, and the testimony introduced. It is believed that there has been some reason for delaying the investigation other than to await the completion of the transcript of evidence. Governor Hoch and all of the members of the board heard the testimony, and it is not generally considered -necessary for a court which hears the evidence to also have a transcript of the evidence before it can decide the case. The facts seem to be that the board and Governor Hoch are not entirely agreed on what should be done. Some think that Governor Hoch wants Mar shall to quit, while the members of the board want to sustain his actions, and give him a chance to resign, instead of ousting him. The general belief is that Marshall will not be very severely cen sured, but that he will resign as soon as the investigation is over, and decid ed. DROWNED HIM GUT. For the First Time the President Is Unable to Make Himself Heard. Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 23. Twen ty thousand people were in danger of injuries yesterday evening at the Cen tral station when President Roosevelt's special train rolled into the shed last night. It was a surging mass of hu manity that could not be controlled. The demonstration was so great thai it was impossible for the president to speak. He made many attempts, but finally gave up. He pleaded with the crowd to have a care for the women and the children- he knew there was danger of a panic, and he did all in his power to avoid a' catastrophe. The cheering was almost incessant, and in the wild rush to get close to the president's car women were carried off their feet and men had to fight back the avalanche of humanity. When the train arrived President Roosevelt was riding upon the rear platform. The cheers that began as soon as the head light cast its first rays through the shed were renewed with infinitely greater volume when the president's face and figure came into view.. How He Handled Crowd. H. Clay Evans was the first person recognized by the president and was at once invited to the car platform. To a newspaper man who was standing near the president said: Do not ask me to shake hands. If I begin there will be a panic here. That crowd will surge in here with a force no power can resist. 1 know, lor i nave meu n v... t-v, nrociH on t then erlanced about him. sizing up the crowd that surged and cheered witnouc any umi cation that it would cea3e.

"Mir foiirvw-ritirens." said Mr. Evans, but his fellow-citizens heard him not. He wanted to Introduce the president. The crowd felt fullyc quainted, Zand deemed no- introduction necessary. Then "Mr. Roosevelt tried his hand. He went to the right rail. The npntile in that direction cheered. and the president smiled. He leaned over the rear ran oi m rai thousands in. that direction cheered. He looked to the left, and again a tumult of applause greeted him. He could but smile, ana uuvv, aui wave his hand. No human voice could penetrate that great roar of cheers. Presently it ceased for a little while. Then, with all his vocal power, Mr. Roosevelt said: "My friends and fellow citizens, be as quiet as you can and I'll try to say a few words in appreciation of this mag nificent ovation. This is the most -enthusiastic crowd, and the largest one, that has greeted my arrival in any city during this great trip through the Southland." Then the crowd began to surge. The president held up a warning hand. "Don't, don't, don't, my good people; remember there are women and chil dren In the crowd. It's dangerous; try to be quiet," he said. The president tried vainly to speak. The faw sentences he had uttered had consumed nineteen minutes, and at 6:31 the train was signaled ahead. As it rolled away, the president waved a re sponse to cheers that followed him as long: as he was in sight.

I'la Eckert-Lawrence was for years a well known writer in Kansas and was a class mate of United States Senator Charles Curtis, and his wife who was then Anna Baird while they were re ceiving their educations in the Topeka schools. Hre first published work to attract the attention of the public was a little book of poems, "Day Dreams." She was Ohio commissioner to the Paris exposition in 1900 and was chosen by Madame Pegard president general of the International Congress to represent American woman in literature and her address was said to have been one of the brightest delivered before that body. At the request of Senator Mark Han na she was commissioned by the com mittee on ceremonies to write the ode for the opening of the St. Louis exposi tion. This ode was not read as the program was charged at the last min ute and the larger part of it omitted though the poem was published and received the commendation of the well known literary men and women of th country. Mr. Conner was connected for a number of years with the Wabash rail road at St. Louis atid later was auditor of several small properties. He resign ed as assistant auditor of the Michigan Central railroad to accept a position as paymaster for the Los Angeles Pacific railroad where he is now employed. Besides his work as paymaster he has found time to contribute ex tensively to the newspapers and maga zires of the country, most of his writ ings bein-r in dialect. He is now at work on a perils of dtirk:" stories to be published as "The Daddie George Stories". Mrs. Conner says she has just re ceived a request from the professor of sociology of the University of Tokio. Japan, for three copies of her book of poems "Day Dreams".

Mrs. Conner was divorced from Mr. Peacock before leaving Topeka. She was married to Frederick Lawrence, a man of some wealth, at Toledo, Ohio. About a year ago she secured a di vorce on the ground of incompatibil ity. Last spring she went through Topeka on her way to California and Mr. Conner then had charge of a fine horse which Mrs. Lawrence was send ing to California. It was then ru mored that the man was her coach man but evidently this was a mistake and her marriage to Conner followed their arrival in California. EXPRESS MEN NEXT. Railroad Board Will Give Them Their Attention Soon. It Is said that the state board of railroad commissioners is planning to take up the question of express rates in Kansas as soon as they have pro mulgated their new freight rate schedule, which will be about Nov. 1. The freight rates of the state, it re now claimed, are excessively high in some places, and that they are also full of inequalities which should be adjusted. J. E. Brewer, state senator from Abilene, was in Topeka yesterday and had a talk with some of the railroad commissioners about the express rate proposition, and was informed that the commission would tackle this problem as soon as possible.

Cortelyou Puts in $10,000,000 in New York Institutions. New York, Oct. 23. E. C. Benedict was today appointed receiver of the stock exchange firm or Mayer c ka., which made an assignment yesterday. More than 1,500 persons, mostly Italians.-stormed the doors of the Lollar Savings bank when that institution opened today. Police were called to control the crowd. The Dollar Savings bank is near the Bronx branch of the Knickerbocker Trust company and the alarm was started by the run yesterday on the trust company's branch. At the Trust Company of America, a double line of depositors reached from the paying teller's window in serpentine fashion through the count ing room out through the main door and down Wall street for over a block. There was no disorder. Investigation oisclosed that the amounts called fot were as a rule small, none of the large depositors withdrawing his funds. All the directors declared that the company would meet all demands. Investigation of a report that three was a run upon the Morton Trust com pany showed it untrue. Although no official statement was obtained, it was learned on very good authority that the amount of cash deposited with the Xew York banks by the treasury de partment today amounted to about $10,000,000. It is agreed by every one that the condition of the banks is most satis factory; that there is no unusual pres sure upon them; and that the same is true as to most of the trust companies. There is nothing like a run upon any financial institution in New York today except the Trust Compan- of America, and the belief is growing that that institution stands a much better chance of getting through suc cessfully than was feared last night. The Trust Company of America suc cessfully withstood the run right up to the close of banking hours. The stock market was rather irregular in the final dealings, St. Paul being a weak feature. In general, however, the market leaders held well at prices considerably above the lowest of the day. j TWO HUNG JURIKS IN A DAY. Mr. Drennins Is Having Trouble to Secure Convictions. For the first time in the history of the Shawnee county district court two juries disagreed in one day Tuesday. In the morning, the jury which was delib erating over the case of the city against Mrs. Mary Donelly. charged with keep ing a disorderly house, were sent to the jury room, and after staying there three hours, reported early in the af ternoon that they could not agree. They stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal. In the afternoon the jury was sent out in the Ed Hosfeldt case, which was appealed from police court. Hosfeldt was charged with keeping a nuisance at 420 Kansas ave nue. The ase was prosecuted by City Attorney Drenning. who introduced some jugs and bottles as evidence which were marked" "with a date other than the date of the arrest of the de fendant.

FA XTQN PITTSBURG'S SHOCK. Westlnghouse Failure Afforded an Un. looked for Sensation. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 23. The great est sensation in local financial circles in years and one wholly unexpected occurred today, when the Pittsburg stock exchange suspended operations for the day, announcing that the Se curity Investment company, a concern tormea ror the purpose of handling the affairs of the Westinghouse interests!, was slightly embarrassed on account of the money market stringency. Statements issued by the president and secretary of the Pittsburg stock exchange and the chairman of the clearing house association at noon made light of the matter and expressed confidence in the local financial situa tion. Following a meeting of several hours, the clearing house announced that not a bank in Pittsburg was in trouble. None had asked for any aid and should any institution request as sistance it would be rendered imme diately. The- Security Investment company's embarrassment will affect temporarily at least the fololwing Westinghouse concerns: The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, the Westinghouse Machine company, and the Nernst Lamp company. The Westinghouse Air Brake com pany and the Union Switch and Signat company are in no way involved tn the trouble. The personal interests of Mr. George Westinghouse are also not affected. The trouble of the Involved com panies is attributed wholly to Insuf ficient capital to carry on rapidly in creasing business. It Is reported that the Westinghouse companies involved will ask that a receiver be appointed for the three concerns named. In financial circles It is stated em phatically that the embarrassment is temporary only. The prompt action of the Pittsburg Clearing House association, acting in conjunction with the stock exchange, removed all element of danger from the situation. A second reassuring state ment was issued this afternoon by the clearing house association. COMPANY A MUST GO. Not Enough Interest to Keep Topeka Organization Alive. Company A. first regiment Kansas National Guard, stationed at Topeka, wil'l be mustered out of service about November 15, according to the an nouncement made this morning by Ad jutant General J. W.

PROMISEOF AID Presence of Cortelyon In New York Helps Situation. Bat There Is Still Anxiety in Financial Circles. IT ASKS FOR 1IELP. Trust Company of America Is Also in. Trouble. Depositors Begin Early to Line Up in Streets. New Tork. Oct 23. Financial anx iety over the situation that has devel oped In the trust company and bank ing situation during the past week continued to cloud the business hori zon today although the nervousness and alarm so noticeable yesterday, was considerably lessened by the pres ence of Secretary Cortelyou in the city and his promise to remain at the sub-treasury throughout the day. Mr. Cortelyous statement made last night affirming the strong condition of the national banks of this city, also had a very good effect on sentiment and served to relieve the apprehensions of business men that the curtailment of credits through the situation follow ing the suspension of payment by the Knickerbocker Trust company might hamper the financing of general mer cantile affairs. Mr. Cortelyou's statement was as follows: "I repeat what I stated before leav ing Washington. If for no other reason than to emphasize the attitude of the treasury department. It will use its facilities to assist In every proper wav legitimate business Interests and Its action will be prompt and thorough.

Trust Company of America in Trouble The unfavorable development or tne night was the news that the Trust Company of America, one of the city's largest financial institutions with de posits approximating $50,000,000 and total assets and liabilities In excess of $60,000,000 was in need of assistance. At the time that It became known that the Trust Company of America had given a statement of its affairs to other bankers in a request for aid it was also announced that liberal assis tance would be given to it today and also that It had in its vaults $12,000, 000 in cash with which to begin pay ment of its depositors today snouia there be any unusual demand. It be came known last night also that bankers generally did not regard the position of the Knickerbocker Trust company as very favorable and were inclined to permit it to go into li quidation. As Is usual in time or stress, i,onaon quotations on American securities were eagerly awaited. The 1 o clock prices showed only fractional changes and these were mixed, some scocks. notably Baltimore omo ana bl. ram, advanced Amalgamatea topper declined 74- T.inoa nf noonle besan to eather early in tmnt nf the doors of both the Trust Companv of America and the Knicker-hni-kpr Trust company. At 9 o'clock there were from thirty to fifty persons at the main banking office of the Trust Company of America at 43 Wall street, and at the same time there was a crowd extending for more than a block from the Fifth avenue omce or tne Knickerbocker Trust company. Oakleigh Thome, president or tne Trust Company of America, was at his place of business early in tne morning. He made a statement to newspaper reporters who called on him to the effect that the institution was all right. Plenty or Cash. "We have plenty of cash on hand and are prepared for all emergencies. We are facing the situation calmly.'" A committee of accountants repre senting the bankers who have taken the whole financial situation m hand, went into the offices of the Trust Com pany of America at 6 o'clock this mornine and began an exhaustive ex- amination of its books and the securi ties held in its vaults as collateral for loans. This committee expects to finish its labors about 11 o'clock and at that time will report the result of its findings. It was learned on unques tionable authority this morning that If this report bears out statements made by officers of the institution last night verbally as to its condition aid will be extended in whatever sum may be required to pay off the depositor who demand their money. Every preparation was mad by thu Trust company of America to meet any unusual rush ana it was announced that three paying tellers would be on duty at 10 o'clock. The crowd in front of the Wall street office of the Trust company of Ameri ca grew steadily and at 9:40 it was es timated to number about 150 persons. The Knickerbocker Trust company also was surrounded by a constantly increasing number of persons who were waiting In the hope that the in stitution would open today. In this they were disappointed for announce ment was made that it would not re sume payments today. The announce ment was made by a police captain on the authority of the officials of the Knickerbocker Trust company. At the Colonial branch of the Trust company of America, in the St. Paul building on Broadway, hiore than a hundred persons were in line .shortly before 10 o'clock waiting for the doors to open. v The market opened at a decline from last night s prices. Southern Pa cific sold at 68, a loss of Great Northern at a loss of 1. United States Steel at 22, a decline of Bal timore Ohio at .81, a loss -of Amalgamated Copper at 444, a de cline of 14. Atchison at 76, a loss of 194. Northern Pacific sold at 108, a loss of 4 points, Union Pacific opened at 110, a loss of 2 4 and sold off imme diately to 107. from which it rallied to 108. Westinghouse Electric sold down to 60 at a decline of 19 from last night. Italians Start a Run. New Tork. Oct. 23. Hundreds of Italians, hearing that "The Bank of 148th street," had suspended payment started a run on the branch Dollar Savings bank which is located next door to the branch institution of the Knickerbocker Trust company in the Bronx. The Dollar Savins concern's difficul ties lasted only until an internreter could explain to the alarmed deoosi- tors that it was the Knickerbocker and not the Dollar Savings bank that was n trouDle. When the Knickerbocker branch sus pended payment the news flashed through the Italian section like prairie fire. The message was vague only that the bank in 148th street could not pay depositors. Hundreds of Ital ians went to the bank but the ouick witted secretary of the institution, see ing that a mistake had been made, or dered large quantities of currency to be placed where the clamoring crowd could see it. A sight of the money seemed to satisfy the Italians and the run on the bank ended and most of those who had withdrawn their sav ring there was something like a panic. Hits Race Track Men.

The Emporia people, who lost their company of the Kansas national guard some weeks ago, are now petitioning the military board to locate company L at that place. The chances are that Emporia will get the new company, with Capt. Tingling in charge. The trouble with the old company seems to have been that it was not properly handled. Coach Quigley, pf the St. Mary's team, is getting quite a reputation as an official at the big games In the west. He has already been the referee In two or three important games this fall. Last Saturday he ran the game at St. Louis between St. Louis univer sity and Arkansas, and next Saturday he is the referee In the Colorado-Nebraska game at Lincoln. A great mystery has at last been ex-t plained, and now the wondering public can explain the reason for the great change in the demeanor of J. Elmer House a local newspaper man who is somewhat known in Topeka. Mr. House, if V6,8'0 goes, tucked away $70 in 1 his inside coat pocket and wended his! way over the Santa Fe to Chicago, where he expected to see Detroit win the world's championship. His train stopped at a small station near Gales- J burg and the newspaper man alighted to j ""J souvenir postal for one or nis Topeka friends. However, as he went to get back on his train he found a shortage of $70 in his inside coat pock et. All of which goes to show that he was "touched" in a small country sta tion. The offender must have been tall. The news of his misfortune reached To peka in the shape of a telegram for a small amount of his coming- wages. He saw Chicago all right but could not enjoy himself very much. Detroit lost the championship and he lost a pile of money. Also he was in constant fear of pickpockets. GOOD PLAY IS COMSG.

The play is said to be full of good, clean honest fun, and of that whole some sort that even a child may see without being hurt. It is a play that certainly kept critical New York in roars of laughter for more than three hundred nights, and which has been equally successful in London, Paris and Berlin. ?fvB if h i i If I f'.

"Before and After" has a plot so In tricately swift that it requires the closest attention to keep up with it and give it all the laughs that it de mands. Its action centers around the "Sunny Jim" -powders a beneficial tonic -for grouchiness and general 111 temper and are made the cause of all the ingeniously ridiculous entangle ments. Before taking them one may be suspicious of one s kind and ex tremely ill tempered. After taking, one loves every maif and women in sight. All of which creates much trouble for Dr. George Pagte, the m main character ui ine piay. Wagenhals &'lKemper give the as surance that the play will be seen here, so far as "scenic environment is concerned, exactly as it was produced for the long run on Broadway, New York. Two elaborate sets are used for the three acts. The first is the re ception office of Dr. Page in one of the fashionable 'quarters of New York, near the Waldorf-Astoria. The sec ond set shows the gorgeous parlor of one of the big hotels In Saratoga, with its rich hangings. Its marble staircase and its vaulted ceilings. Mr. Dltrlchstern himself will head the company of players on this occa sion. Among the other members of the supporting company are Hazel Chappie. Kenyon Bishop. Nellie But ler, Eduard Durand, Aubrey Beattie, Edmund Elton, G. M. Beldon, John Arthur and others. K. V. ELECTION" HARMONIOUS. Only 24 Votes Were Cast for New Athletic Members.

Crowell, Caldwell and Angeny of the football team, and Priest, captain of the track team, The retiring members are Brunner, Donald, Ise and Putnam, This is the first time in the history of the school that the election has been held without a nght between the dif ferent factions at the university. The ticket wae nominated by a barb com bination and backed by all the frater nities, and but little interest was taken in the election. In last year's election more than 1,200' votes were cast as com pared to 24 Tuesday. There has not been a single political scrap of any im portance in the university this fall. The seniors started the peace movement by putting a compromise ticket in the field which satisfied both factions and every class followed their example in all class elections.

Burris of Olathe and C B. McClellaij of Oskaloosa. Both men were delegates to the Wyandotte convention In 1859 and It was the first day they had SDent to gether since the close of the conven tion. The G. A. R. posts met to celebrate the forty-second anniversary of th battle of Big Blue. There were tab leaux and songs, then addresses.

Veale of Topeka, who was first sheriff of Wyandotte county and the commander pf a division at the bat tle, were also present. "There were fifty-two of us who met in that hall on the river front m old Wyandotte," said Judge Burris. "Now there are only four of us. We drew one of the best constitutions ever framed In the United States and are proud of our work." Besides the two men present the surviving delegates are B. F. Simpson of Paola and R. C. Foster of Denison Tex. Mr. Foster is now 111. Mr. Burris spoke briefly of the con vention and then turned to the battle of the Big Blue in which both he and McClellan took part. "I remember the dispatch I sent to my wife the night after the battle. She was in Olathe and this waa the dis patch: 'Been licked three times and will renew the battle tomorrow.' Next day, October 23, we fought the battle of Westport. Ex-Governor St. John and ex-Governor GHck spoke 6f early days In Kansas. One had landed at Wyan dotte, the other at Quindaro. "The battle of the Blue." said Col onel Veale, asaved Kansas from the raiders."

It is rumored that there is a consistent story and a plot to the piece, but who cares? We go to see Will iams and Walker, and hear their songs not to listen to the playwright. Lew Dockstader's company, all told, numbers 70 persons, 60 of whom are en gaged in the actual performances. The minstrel of old would undoubtedly shudder at the enormous expense sug gested by such an organization and would scarcely credit the fact that such a company could be managed with profit. An absolutely new entirety Is promised for Mr. Dockstader's en gagement at the Grand Friday evening. The sale of seats opens this morning. One of the best attractions of the season will be at the Grand Saturday matinee and night. The fact that it is under the management of Wagenhals Kemper is a guarantee of its stand ing. The piece "Before and After," is by Leo Dltrichsteln and he himself Is at the head of the company. "You are supposed to be in busi ness; and I find you hanging around here." "Mr. Pickering, I've found out that a farm hand works fourteen hours a day and gets $20 a month. A bookkeeper works ten hours a day and gets $60 a month. A general man ager works six hours a day and gets $10,000 a year. 'The president of a life insurance company works one hour a day and gets $100,000 a year. Now, I'm working just one-half hour every day." The above is a specimen of the brilliant dialogue in George Ade's newest comedy "Just Out of Col lege" which will be presented at the Grand Sunday matinee and evening. Arthur C. Alston's splendid com pany in the greatest dramatic success of the period, "At the Old Cross Roads," will be seen at the Grand next Monday. It is an intense yet charm ing story of southern life, well inter spersed with comedy. The press from the Atlantic to the Pacific where the play has been presented has been unanimous In praising play and play ers. The company is a very strong one and contains only well known peo pie. s
