HE BLAMES THE PRESS Sajs the Newspapers Keep Trouble Stirred Up. Community of Interest De mands a Lasting Friendship. Tbklo, Nov. 7. The official silence So long consistently maintained by Ja pan on the subject of the relations of the United States and Japan In con nection with the persistent rumors of friction, was broken today by an As sociated Press Interview with Minis ter of Foreign Affairs Hayashl. He prefaced his statement by ex pressing the hope that a sincere pro nouncement by the foreign minister of Japan and its publication through the Associated Press would prevent further misrepresentation and finally result In discrediting those who are constantly circulating false and harm ful reports. He spoke not only as for eign minister, but as representing the sentiment of the entire cabinet and the public. Minister Hayashl then said the re let -'ons between Japan and America were' as smooth and cordial as ever and the cause of civilization as well as community of interest demanded their lasting peace and friendship. In order that full weight may be given this In terview It is proper to state that it was granted by the foreign minister only after lengthy consideration of the propriety of an official statement at this time. His pronouncement con firms the views expressed to the As sociated Press on every hand by poll- ucana, newspaper men and others, Immigration Question. Minister Hayashl admitted that the Immigration question was the most serious matter and was UDnermost In the public mind, but he was positive mat it would be settled without fric tion. Already, it practically has been decided. The Japanese government proposes to control emigration in such manner as to benefit Japan and at the same time conform to the wishes! of the American government and is taking the most active steps in this direction. The foreign minister believes that Japan will be able to solve the question ln this manner it requiring only the patience of the people of both countries. One thing certain is that the Japanese govern ment is not solicitous for the immi gration of its pecple into any country. During the interview, Minister Hay ashl said: "The only thing causing anxiety In tne mind of the public here is the im migration question, but far from be ing unduly excited the people of Japan aie satisfied to rest the case in the full confidence that it will be ad Justed ln a manner worthy of both nations, bv the fair minded people of America, who have earned that name by a preeminently Just and liberal policy in the extreme east during the last half century. American Jingoism. "According to reports from various sources dealing with what is called the 'Japanese situation'. It appears certain that a portion of the press of the -United States is bent on represent ing an ultimate conflict with Japan as inevitable and in order, apparently, to subserve this special purpose, events r ir.nmg importance are magnified Into matters portending consequences. Facts that can be explained easilv anrl naturally by the commonest kind of common sense, are commented on and called into Question on some far fetchcl. impossible hypothesis and the uninitiated public gradually Is led into the vague belief that the relations of Japan and the United States are any thing but smooth and cordial. These misrepresentations are incompre hensible and we are unable to explain them except on the ground of a politi cal or financial nature. "The repeated publication abroad of Intimations of strained relations Is deplorable, chiefly on account of the banoful effect It can not fail to pro duce upon commerce, a delicate plant j'hich thrives only in 'the genial at- ivospnere or mutual confidence and cordial lnter-deprndence. Confidence in America, "A relieving feature la found in the happy fact that these ominous state ments And no echo on this side of the Pacific. Notwithstanding persistent reports o the contrary, the people of Japan regard the situation with a sense of complacency and absolute confidence. It is true that at the time of the San Francisco troubles, popular mortification and resentment were aroused, tut our people knew that the liostile feeling ln America was only lvcal and temporary and their confi dence ln the fairness and Justice of America never deserted them even In those tiylng days. "At present the situation in Japan is calmer than ever. It is Impossible to find in a single newspaper out of a vast number of Journals of all shades of opinion, an unfriendly sentiment toward America. I allude to newspa pers having any standing ln Japan. The correct attitude of these free moulders of public opinion is the most eloquent and irrefutable testimony of the absolutely pacific nature of the popular mood in Japan. Notwithstand ing that some newspapers assert that the Japanese attitude is bellicose, I say again that It Is Inconceivable." In conclusion Minister Hayashl saU emphatically and positively: "The attitude assumed by the Japa nese government, which, after all is only a reflection of public sentiment, is that they are convinced that the cause of civilization as well as community of Interest demands lasting peace and friendship between two nations, border ing the Pacific." In connection with this interview it may be said that the relations between United States Ambassador O'Brien and Foreign Minister Hayashl are increas- flng ln inenasnip ana coraiamy. xney have conferrsd frequently since Mr. O'Brien's arrival and it may be pre sumed that the questions affecting tha future relations of the two countries and an amicable settlement of all out standing questions have been fully dis cussed. In Japanese official circles much attention la being paid to Am THURSDAY EVENING. bassador O'Brien and admiration of J his methods is expressed. He was given i an official reception tonight which was attended by over 200 Japanese and members of all the foreign embassies and legations. It was a brilliant af fair. Minister Hayashl was among those present. FIGHT FOR GOLD. From Now on It Is Expected to Be Harder to Get. New Tork, Nov. 7. The action of the Bank of England and the Bank of fodaTanS pt Bank of Germany tomorrow was ac cepted in New Tork as evidence that hereafter it will be necessary to fight ii nhtoln ffftlrf' ho- the, IVn T-"lntj!i n banks expect a severe puii on their re- ouuxiea iiuiu aiuciii cliiu haul 11 nui require the most resolute steps to meet it. New Tork already has engaged on the present movement gold to the amount of $39,175,000 and the scant crops ln Europe and the rapid outward movement of American products threat en to draw more gold to this country In spite of the protective measures of the European banks. The English bans rate has not been at 7 per cent before since mis, and it is exceptional for the French rate to be put as high as today, because it is the well established policy of France to obtain gold at a loss in or der to afford a uniform rate of accom modation to commerce. The general feelii.K ln financial circles nere today was one or serenity ana conn- dence ln spite of the advances ln European bank rates. The continuous sVrivals of gold which were swelled by $1,600,000 com ing on tne .teutonic today are rapidly re plenishing bank reserves and affording the oasis tor Drotectlng credit, it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to Issue small serin here as is beln done in other cities, although wages in many cases will be paid ln checks. WAITING LIST FULL. Striking Telegraphers Apply for Tlieir Old Positions. New Tork. Nov. 7. President Clowrv of the Western Union Telegraph com- pany in a statement today said that the statement by an officer of the telegraph ers' union that a truce or agreement had been entered into between the tele graph companies and the strikers is ab solutely untrue. The returning strikers will only be re-employed on their Indi vidual application and but a small per- centage of them can be given employ- ment. Following the official calling off of the telegraphers' strike by the local union, the offices of the Western Union were crowded with applicants today who sought to regain their old positions, None was accepted, however, the com pany, according to Its statement, hav ing brought its force up to the origi nal quota Tuesday. By 10 o'clock this morning the waiting list was full and no more names were taken. GRAND JURY ASSURED. Requisite Number of Signatures Has I Been Secured. I The requisite number of signers to the petitions for the calling of a grand Jury to investigate the charges which surround the construction of the Fifth and Sixth ward sewers has been se- cured. Four hundred were necessary and this number has now been se- cured. However, the petitions will be I still circulated in order that everyone I who desires to ask for the convening I of a grand jury by Judge Dana may nave tnis opportunity. W. E. King, formerly assistant city engineer, wnose name has been mixed up in some of the charges, has signed a petition but his name has not been torn off by the city attorney, who would not permit James McCa.be, the former city engineer, to leave his name attached to a petition. The fact that a man has signed a petition does not disbar him from be ing placed on the grand Jury should his name be drawn. The securing of a grand Jury, it is believed, will be a big task, for many have already formed an opinion one way or the other as to the merits of the charges. that nave been made. SANTA FE IS FINED.

GOES UPTO SEVEN Bank of England Again Boosts Its Discount Bate. Still the Demand for Gold Does Not Stop. FEELING THE PINCH. Are Showing the Ef- feet cf the Condition. Squeeze Is Expected to Extend to Ihe Continent. London, Nov. 7. The directors of the Bank of England this morning put up the minimum d'scount rate from 6 to 7 per cent. The only thing which could have averted this heavy rate would have been assurances from re sponsible quarters ln New Tork. that the situation there, which it is recog nized Is due to the exceptional de mands upon capital in consequence of the great commercial activity in America, is sufficiently well in hand to warrant the expectation that there would be an early cessation of the gold .drain on this market. In the ab sence of such an assurance the Bank of England utilized the only weapon at hand to protect its reserves. It is realized, however, that even this high rate may not prevent ship ments of gold to New Tork. but it is hoped that it may attract the metal from abroad in sufficient quantities to restore the equilibrium. The step was doubly necessary as the bank must nurse Its supplies just at present for I the autumn cash requirements as well I as usual Egyptian demands and gold from Argentina. The last occasion when a 7 per cent rate was enforced by the Bank of England was in 1S73. and was due to financial troubles on the continent and in America. On that occasion the rate eventually reached 9 per cent, but quickly fell to 4?4. The local business community is bound to feel the pinch and the finan ciers anticipate that the drastic rate will cause an even greater squeeze in Germany with a consequent increase of the discount rate of the Imperial tank and selling orders from Berlin, The announcement of the increase of the Bank of England's rate by a full point had a- strong effect on the stock exchange here, consols which opened 3-ld higher owing to the set tlement of the railway dispute, imme diately fell half a point. Home rails started one to four points dearer but lost most of the advance within a few minutes. American rails had a simi lar action. The opening prices ruled around parity, but a drop of a point followed immediately after the pub lication of the bank rate and selling brought quotations at noon down 1 to points lower man yesieraay. It was not until tne oanK statement was issued that the market fully real- ized how heavy had been the drain on the srold reserve. The figures showed the week's decrease to be 3,138,807,' the total reserve being 17.694,795 against 20,833.602 last week and 19.076.395 at this time last year, There were inquiries In the market this morning for another 1,250,000 in gold for America. Bank of France Follows. Paris. Nov. 7. The Bank of France today raised its discount rate from 3H to 4 per cent. At the same time the Bank of France advanced the rate on loans from 4 to 4V4 per cent. Prices Weaken at Berlin. Berlin. Nov. 7. Prices on the bourse today became decidedly weaker on the advance in the Bank of England's dis count rate. Clearing House Checks in Chicago. Chicago. Nov. 7. Members of the Clearing House association decided to make all necessary preparations to Is sue clearing house checks last evening, in small denominations as circulating medium. The association, however. left it with the clearing house commit tee to decide when the checks should be Issued. It Is expected that the checks will be out within a few days. Bank Scrip for Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Nov. 7. At a meeting of the clearing house committee yester- day It was decided to issue scrip .in ?rder t? iu"f.,locaiS,Sr "5 the present financial difficulties. Printers are busy preparing the en. graving ordered and it is expected that the new temporary currency will be available at once. Under instructions issued at the meeting scrip will be is sued in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10 and $20. More Gold Engaged. New Tork, Nov. 7. That the end of the movement of the gold from Eng land to America has not been reached was shown today when Goldman, Sachs Co. announced the engagement of $1,625000 for import from London. $1,625,000 for import from London. Kuhn, Loeb Co. also announced that they had secured $500,000 in Europe. This makes the total for the movement $39,175,000. Sending Out Money. New York. Nov. 7. The subtreas ury today transferred for banks cur- rency to the amount of $1,137,000. Of this amount $850,000 went to -San Francisco, $137,000 to Philadelphia, $100,000 to Denver, and $50,000 to New Orleans. Gold Coming In. London, Nov. 7. Bullion amountina to 1,210,000 pounds was taken into the Bank of England today and 237,000 pounds was withdrawn for shipment to tne united states. Bombay Raises the Rate. Bombay, Nov. 7. The rate of discount of the Bank of Bombay was raised to day from 4 to 5 per cent. MONEY FLOWS WEST.

UUI1K.S 1154 Ve De 21111 Preparations to ship all available cllr- rency to the northwest to aid the movement of crops. While there is no concerted action among the city's banking institutions to meet the de- mands for currency now being made by banks in the crop country? the in! dividual banks will send all funds that TOPEKA, KANSAS. NOVEMBER 7, 1907. can possibly be spared for the pur pose. Estimates of the combined amounts that the New York banks will send to the northwest within the next six weeks vary. The Chase National bank and First National have commenced to ship daily sums ranging from $26,000 to $50,000 to banks along the route of the Great Northern and Northern Pa cmc railroads. James j. tun held a conference here with 4 officers of the Chase National bank and other insti tutions at which it was stated he asked that the northwest be .given all possi ble assistance to move the crops. Mr. Hill was Informed that while the local banks could not furnish the usual amount of money -for crop movin purposes, they were anxious to do ail they could to expedite the shipment of cereals to the seaboard, whence they. could be sent abroad and thereby strengthen this country's position ln the foreign money markets. "We have started to send all the funds we can to the northwest," sail a bank official, "and while the amounts in individual cases are not very large, they will In the aggregate total a largt. figure before long. Within a week or more the flow of gold to the wheat fields will be In steady volume, varying in sums from $5,000 to $50,000. Mr. Hill was here- and conferred with us on the situation along the lines of his railroads. We promised to do all we could. A ready solution of any difficul ties in the northwest can be found by the farmers themselves if they will avail themselves of an opportunity to use cashier's checks, but that is a rro cess of education which may or may not be difficult to work out." I ITINERARY OF FLEET- Where and When the Bob Evans' Ships WiH Touch, Washington, Nov. The fleet itin erary of Admiral Evans battleship fleet on Its voyage to San Francisco was made public at the navy depart ment today. As heretofore announced the fleet will assemble at Hampton Roads on December V and depart from there December 16, touching on the way to San Francisco at Trinidad, Rio De Janeiro, Punta Arenas, Callao and Magdalena bay.' It is scheduled to ar rive at Trinidad, December 24, Rio De Janeiro January 11, at Punta Arenas January 31, at Callao February 18 and at Magdalena bay March 14. At each of these places it will remain from five to eleven days, except at Magdalena bav. from which place the date of de parture depends upon the completion of target practice tnere. or tne saoie reason date of arrival at San Francisco has not been determined. The torpedo boat destroyer flotilla will leave Hampton Roads December 2, and because of their greater speed, more limited draught and smaller ton nage, these boats will stop at many more places than the battleships. The stay of the torpedo boat destroy ers at each port wilK be about four or five days.

FOR AMERICAN CONTROL President Palma Advocates Continu ance of the Status Quo. Havana, Nov. 7. Estrada Palma, formerly president of Cuba, has au thorized the publication of his views regarding American Intervention. He declares publicly in favor of American control ln Cuba. "It is enough to satisfy my con science," he said, "this conviction of having saved my beloved country from anarchy and its natural results of plun der and ruin." He continued, describing what he considers the criminal acts on the part of the revolutionists, and the necessity to call on the Americans to prevent a protracted and sanguinary contest. "If I did right or wrong, time will say. That my attitude was immediate ly justified is proved by the sudden re establishment of peace through the moral and material Influence of the Americans. I do not hesitate to de- 'tSS Political nation, where liberty is rre- vailing, than in a republic independent of a sovereign but discredited and ruined by blasting periodical civil strifes." The letter Is considered important as Mr. Palma still commands great influ ence among a large number of Cubans. BROKE EVEN ON LIQUOR. Delaware Has License in Two Districts and Prohibition in Two. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 7. The vote on the liquor question in the four dis tricts of the state shows that there was a majority ln the state as a whole for license of from 2,000 to 2,200, but the actual result Is that license prevails in two districts and prohibition in the oth er two.

Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, who gave him self up to the authorities yesterday, resumed his role at the Astor theater last night and was given a demonstra tive welcome. wnen Hitchcock disanpeared a week ago an understudy took his place. The house was crowded when the star made his appearance, which was the sign for rousing aDDlause. The actor looked haggard and 111, and his voice was uncertain as he spoke his lines. Meantime his wife, who rjlavs opposite him, was ln tears, and with aimcuuy ionowed her cue. At every opportunity the audience applauded with enthusiasm, until at the end of the second act the come dian stepped to the front of the staee and in a tremulous voice said: I want to thank you all for your applause and encouragement, I hope i snau always deserve it. Upon Mrs. Hitchcock's second en trance the action called upon her to shake her husband's hand. As they stood there with hands clasped the cheers were deafening and for a mo ment both performers seemed unable to, continue and then Miss Zabelle placed her disengaged hand on her nusoana's shoulder and kissed him. At this Hitchcock broke down complete ly, and there were many wet eyes in tne auaience. Wallace Berry, who rose In a day from the chorus to the star part when Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, re cently disappeared in the face of crimi nal charges, was back in his minor part last night, as the result of Hitchcock's reappearance. "I was the happiest man in New York, when Hitchcock came back," he said, "I tell you I was glad even If It does put me back ln the chorus. There's one thing, though, that makes me feel a bit blue.' My mother is on her way from Kansas City to see me in the star part and she won't get here until tomorrow, sne thinks I'm the best ac tor there is, you know and I wish she bad gotten here a couple of days ago.

Utes Are Restless. Huron. S. D.. Nov. 7. James Macomber reached heire today from the scene of the Indian troubles. He says the Utes are very restless and some open threats are made. A few dissatisfied Sioux have joined the Utes, and while there is no oc casion for immediate alarm. It is a lacx that the matter may become serious at anv moment. Thf trouble originated from fear that the government would withhold rations and with the approach of winter the In dians apprehended destitution. Several men nere wno aesire to go- to the reservation were informed that no permits would be issued to civilians to cross the river, and a close watch is being kept on all visitors.

Once upon a time there was a certain newspaper in a certain western city that grieved and was sore at heart ba cause large numbers of the people re fused to subscribe. "Let us hire a corps of canvassers and go into every street and house in town, These smooth tongued fellows will tttik the people into taking the paper wheth er they want It or not." "It won't work," said the big boss. "We have tried that too often. Besides think what It would cost. We can't afford to spend the money." Then came a wise man into the con ference. He had wide knowledge In worldly affairs and he spoke thusly: "Yes, It is true that we must try a new scheme. We have sold the people out of date books and cheap pictures, razors that wouldn't shave and scissors that wouldn't cut and silver tableware that wasn't silver and beautiful china that wasn't china and we must try a new dodge. Let us do it in the name of charity. Anything can be done in the name of charity. We will offer prizes, which we can get ln exchange for a little advertising space, to the church societies and charitable organizations for the largest number of subscribers and straightway will the members thereof visit every dwelling in the city, yea, every hovel begging in the name of sweet charity that the people sub scribe for our paper and thus enable them to win the prize piano or watch of the great charitable organization. No door can be shut in the face of charity and great will be the results in our falling subscription list and cash box. It may look like a lottery on close inspection but the people will not care for that so long as it is in the name of charity. After the people have been worked to subscribe we will have their money and they will have to take the paper. It Is sure as death. It can't fail. In no other way can we secure such persistent canvassers and all with out paying out a single dollar and they won't even know they are being work ed." And straightway was the great scheme adopted and the cause of sweet charity was thus greatly advanced. PAYS ALL CHECKS. The Government Loosens Tp on Cash in San Francisco. "Sn Francisco. Nov. 7.

When the vet erans began approaching the banks in Topeka with checks aggregating $150,000 the officials realized that if they cashed the warrants they would be short of cash in a short time and' no provisions had been made for a re turn of currency from the govern ment. Thereupon, the bankers got to gether and agreed to cash none of the warrants until the subtreasury either promised to send currency to Topeka in bulk or would bind ltnif r. k. vouchers in St. Louis as soon as thev reacned the subtreasury.

For merly the checks were cashed by all banks in the country without nun and were redeemed in due course by the subtreasury.

They all declared that if they cashed the checks without any assurance of an -Immediate return of currency they would be In financial straits ln a few days. By next Saturday over 100,000 of the pension warrants will be in cir culation. c v,r In his reply to the banks. Mr. Akins assured them that the government was ready and willing to convert all the pension checks into hard cash. He advised the banks to rash th n,.--.. and either forward them to their cor respondents in St. Louis or direct to the subtreasury, where they would be cashed and the currency expressed. Thi more reasonable plan, he believed., would be to use the correspondent sys tem, owing to the smallneaa f tha force at the subtreasury.

U. Experts Say There Was No Traces of Poison in Perkins' Stomach. Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 7. The con ference of the attorneys for the Per kins estate, which was expected to be held Wednesday, was postponed until Friday on account of the funeral of Alfred Whitman, one of the trustees of the estate. The toxicologlsts made two reports upon their examination, one giving the results of the examination and the other stating the procedure by which they found the results. The attorneys here have received copies of these find ings and will go over them carefully before they hold their conference and decide definitely upon the future course of their case. While there Is some Inclination here to accept the finding of the toxloologists as proving that Perkins committed suicide by tak ing morphine. It is recognized that tho case is far from settled. The family's lawyers have a group of experts who also made an analysis, and who, it Is stated, reported that they found no traces of poison. The jury will have to choose between experts. Also, the lawyers for the company must not only prove suicide but must prove that when he took out his policies he did so intending to commit suicide. Weather Indications. Chicago, Nov. 7.

THE TOPEKA DAILX STATE JOURNAL THUBSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER ,7, 1907. 3 U. BRACING UP. Chancellor Strong Urges Unl rerslty to Support Team. Also Tells the Students Not to Excite Players by Betting. KENNEDY S1IIFTS LINE Carlson to Bp Placed at Center With Bond. Left Guard. Will Hare to Depend on Forter's Punting With Nebraska. Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 7. ''Stick to your team, win or lose," Is the topic of Chancellor Frank Strong's talk to the students In chapel. There has been con siderable kicking: on the Jayhawker team since last Saturday's defeat at the hands of Washburn and it was this sentiment to which the chancellor re ferred. "The victor gets too much praise,", he aid. "Wo must learn to give our sym pathy and support to the man who fights hard and loses." The chancellor also condemned bet ting. "When a team feels that a good deal of money has been bet on it, the men become excited and are forced to bear a responsibility that should be en tirely foreign to college sport." t The Kansas students are beginning to look forward to next Saturday's con test with no little degree of excitement. This morning red ribbons bearing the words "Rooter's Club," were distributed to several hundred students. Five hun--dred of these will be given out and for the wearers of the ribbons, 600 seats will be reserved, forming a rooters' seo tion to which only the leather lunged -will be admitted. The Jayhawker squad practloed until dark yesterday and today. The first I team ran signals until it was impossl ble to see the ball on the forward pasa M and the men were forced to go in. Kennedy Is shifting his line up a lit ftls. Ha believes that he will need a 'heavy team Saturday. He is getting as much weight in the line as is consist ent. Carlson is belnir worked at cen ter, while Jay Bond, who was just de clared eligible yesterday, seems slated iur cnsiun at ten guaiu. u Kennedv is doing all in his power to J strengthen the Kansas line.

If he can take his time he can average forty five or fifty yards on his punts and Kennedy is going to make the Kansas line so strong that Forter will have time to receive the ball, count the stitches in the leather and then kick it before any Nebraska man gets in the way.- It was with two field goals that Kan sas defeated Nebraska last year. It is believed that with a line that can hold that either Forter can place kick or Porter can drop kick about as many goals as It is possible to try for how many that will, be will depend a great deal on the Kansas back field. -A With Angney and Miller out. th back view doesn't look very promising. Coulter will probably start the game at Angney's place, but this week is the first work Coulter has had this year at running the team. Stephenson, Rico, Forter. Porter. Dennis and Steele are the back field possibilities. Forter will have to play the whole game, probably, as with Angney out there is no partic ularly good punter beside Forter on the annftd. Coulter, of last year's team, has got his eligibility obstacles cleared away and is again at Kennedy's disposal. He will be put in at quarter in Angney a old place instead of Steele, who seemed for a while to be the only available man for the nlace. Probably either Lobaugb or Dodge will take Miller's place at full. It is uncertain who will take Milton's place at center. Reed tried out there early in the season, but Kenne dy said today that he -should put him VihiMc at K-uard. Who the other new man in the lineup will be remains to tu determined later. A big enthusiasm meeting is going to be held on McCook field tonight, at which the university band and as many students as can be got out will watcn and cheer and encourage the team with a view to emphasizing the student body's loyalty to the players. Kane May Go to Chicago. Pittsburg.. Kan., Nov. 7. Johnny Kane is home from Cincinnati,, where he has been this season playing with the National league team. He will stay in Pittsburg until Christmas, his bride, whom he wed last summer being a Pittsburg girl. He starts In training at St. Augustine, Florida, March 10. The Chicago Nationals are trying to get Kane,: and he may go to the top notch ers next season. IS TOMMY BURNS AFRAID? R. Consuming Consumption even in its most insidi ous form is not always incurable. The first intelligent step in the treatment -of the dis ease is to stop the violent paroxysms of couching which tear the lungs and enfeeble the system. Fiso's Cure has' permanently cured many consump tive coughs, as shown by court testimony because its antiseptic, healing and soothing qualities act directly on the lungs and bron chial passages, stop ping the coughing and gently healing the lac crated tissues. Even the most advanced consumptive coughs have responded quick ly to Piso's Cure, which being absolutely free from opiates or habit-forming drugs is the ideal remedy for every form of coughs colds, bronchitis in young and old. For nearly half a century Piso's Cure has been demonstrating that the most advanced form of chest affections Can be Cured rar m 1 J lis Conditions for a Fight With John son Are Laughable. Detroit,. Nov. 7. Tommy Burns, the alleged heavy-weight champion of the world, -will -fight Jack Johnson, who beat Mike Flynn Saturday, but Tommy will make all the conditions or Mr. Johnson will not get the chance to beat Tommy to a pulp. One of Burns' clos est friends, who brought him out, said that Burns would fight Johnson on these conditions only: Burns to get 75 per cent of the purse, win, lose or draw. If the negro Is not satisfied with these terms he won't get a fight with the Canadian. Burns has fought two or three negroes, and, therefore, cannot draw the color line. This 75 and 25 split is only another way of drawing it. Fol lowing the beating that Johnson gave Flynn, some of Burns' closest friends admit they are afraid for the Canadian if he does fight Johnson. CORNELL LIKES FORWARD PASS. Indian Style of Handling the New Play Finds Favor at Ithaca. Ithaca, Nov. 7. Cornell has adopted a long forward pass, similar to that which the Indians have used all year, with Watson, the big end, acting as the Cornell Houser. Despite the breaking up of the play by Princeton in New York last Saturday, the Cornell coaches think that it will work well against West Point and Pennsylvania. Watson throws the ball an easy 40 yards, and the coaches have decided to take the chance of some one being there to catch It- Boston Sells Player Ferris. Boston, Mann., Nov. 7. President John I. Taylor of the Boston Americans announces that he has sold Second Baseman Ferris to the New Tork Amer icans. The deal was not a trade for any other player, but purely an out and out sale. Where Manager Griffith in tends to play him is not known, but Frank Laporte. formerly of the New York Americans, will take Ferris' place at second base. Tenny at First for Reds. Cincinnati. Nov. 7- Fred Tenney at first base on the Reds of 1908? Possibly. Not sure yet, but quite a chance. Presi dent Herrmann has taken up the mat ter of securing Tenney with the owners of the Boston club, and is now await ing developments. If the release of the veteran first-sacker can be purchased at a fair figure, and suitable terms made with the player. It Is likely tnat Frederick will handle the throws of the other Red inflelders next season.. If Tenney comes to Cincinnati it will not be as manager of the team,- but simply as a player, to take 'Captain Ganzel's place at first base. r MISSOURI KICKERS WEAK. The Tigers AYili Work Hard This Week to Remedy the Fault. Columbia, Mo., Nov.""7.An the reg ulars reported for practice on Rollins field Wednesday afternoon apparently none the worse from their hard game with Texas.- Several of the men aro suffering from minocpraiaa au bruises, but will-round 4to shape again before they are needed. Coach Monilaw intends to spend the entire week improving the offense. Up till last week the Tigers were consid ered weakest on defense, but their showing against Texas disproved such an idea, and showed the back field to need more bolstering than any other part of the team. The kicking depart ment Is also to receive work this week. Six new plays are to be added to the Tigers menu card this week, and the best of the six will survive for the Turkey day game against Kansas. As sistant Coach Anderson will most like ly journey to Lawrence Saturday to watch the Kansas-Nebraska- contest and get some valuable pointers on thn Jayhawkers' style of play. Michigan to Meet Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 7. Chicago and Minne sota will meet in football again next fall at Marshall field, Michigan, after a two-year break in its relations with the maroons, is practically certain to oc cupy a place on Coach Stagg's list also. In which case the Midway team will have one of the heaviest schedules ever played by a western team. A Trade In Baseball. New York, Nov. 7. The New York Americans and St. Louis Americans have made a duel swap. Griffith trad ed Jimmy Williams and Danny Hoff man to McAleer for Harry Niles, the fast second baseman, and Hemphill, th outfielder. Nlles is fully as speedy as Hoffman and also a good sticker- He led the American League a part of last season. A Hard Debt to Pay. "I owe a debt of gratitude that can never be paid off," writes G. S. Clark of Westfield. Ia., "for my rescue from death by Dr. King's New Discovery. Both lungs were so seriously affected that death seemed imminent, when I commenced taking New Discovery.

Finds That Galveston System Would Idd 20,000.- INCREASED SALARIES. The Proposed Change Would Create New Offices. When Cify Has a Population of 50,000 Cost Will Increase. Wichita, Kan., Nov, 7. The Beacon says: There is one item that some persons seem to have' overlooked In their ad vocacy of government by commission as provided by the Kansas law, and that is the item of salaries, which un der the proposed commissions will be materially increased. This increase will aggregate 19,890 a year, or (19,780 for a single term of office in the matter of fixed salaries alone. This is a matter which the people of this city will likely look upon with disfavor. Increase in salaries Is never DODUlar. and when connected- with an alleged reform move ment it is all the more objectionable. Not only does the commission plan increase the salaries of the various city officials, but it creates two new of fices, those of superintendent and sec retary of .waterworks. But that Is not all. This law pro vides that when the population of the city has increased to 50,000 there snail be a further increase in the salaries of the city officials aggregating $3,000 more. Then it iroes further and pro vides that when the city's population shall have reached 60,000 the salary of the mayor may be Increased $2,000 and that of the four commissioners $800 each per year, or an aggregate of $5,200 more. The salaries, of the various city offi cials at present -are as follows: Mayor. $2,000: councilmen. $200 each. or $2,400 in the aggregate; city clerk, $1,200; city attorneys $1,200; city treas urer, $1,050; city engineer, $1,500; street commissioner, $1,200; city auditor, $960. The commission... plan provides tor salaries as follows; Mayor, $2,000; commissioners, $1,200 each or $4,800 in the aggregate; city clerk. $1,800; city .'attorney, $2,500; city treasurer, $1,200; city engineer, $2,500; street commissioner, $1,800; city audi tor, $1,800; superintendent of water works, $1,800; secretary of waterworks, $1,200. When the city has a population of 60,000, which at, 'Its present rate of growth, will be in two or three years, the law provides that the salaries of the several officers aside from the may or and commissioners may be increas ed $3,000 more. The duties of the commissioners re approximately the Same as those of the present city council, and do not in clude the care of any. other department of public affairs, such as the public schools. .e There is a still further provision un der the commission' law-:that may re sult in added salaried!!' This provision is that the j commissioners have, the power to- appoint a fir marshal, chief of police, city physician, police Judge, superintendent of parks, city--assessor, "and such other officers as they may deem necessary," iand- fix the salaries of each. In view of the fact that the fixed salaries of all the officers named above have been increased under the commission law it would not be. un reasonable to suppose that following the example set by the legislators, the commissioners would find it- convenient to increase the salaries of these heads of departments also. This is a matter worth looking into, especially at a time when it is a doubt ful policy to make a change and try an experiment in city government, the outcome of which no man can foretell. Farm Sells for $75 Per Acre. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 7. The Abell stock farm, better known as the Toler stock farm of Tolervllle, has been sold by its present owners to Mr. Ike Martin of Harper for $22,600. The farm contains 300 acres, which meaiu that the estate is valued at $76 an acre. Postofhce Sales Large; r Hutchinson, Kan., Nov. 7.

A BLACKTHORN FROM IRELAND, Father O'Brien Brings Attorney Mad den a Beautiful Cane. Parsons, -Kan, Nov. 7. Judge John Madden has received a blackthorn cane which is prized by him above all the canes in his collection. This par ticular blackthorn was cut from the site of the old Madden home in Ire land near the little village of Dlcks srrove within slo-ht- n k v...i..i and far famed lakes of Killarney. .n-uifuk a, year ago juage Madden met Father O'Brien, of Walnut, on the train. In the course of the con versation the priest told the Judge that he was on his way to Europe where he was going to visit Rome, Paris and other places, but mora par ticularly, around the place where the most interest centered both to the priest and the Judge was Ireland, the birthplace of. Father O'Brien and where Judge Madden's father was born. It came out in the conversation that the O'Brien home was only about fifteen mile mm wnoA father was' born and where he lived until 1848. when he came to America. Judge Madden jokingly asked Father O'Brien to bring him a blackthorn, and yesterday the father passed through on his way home and to the surprise of the judge presented him with one of the handsomest black thorn sticks that ever came out of the Emerald Isle. To make the stick more valuable, if possible. It was pre sented to the judge by the priest on the fifth anniversary of the burial of the former's father, and was cut from the site of the ruins of the old Madden home. CHERRXVALE BANKS SOLID. No Limit' Has Been Placed on tbe Amount Paid Depositors. Cherryvale, Kan., Nov. 7. The banks of this city did not follow the advice and lead vof the banks of Inde pendence. -Coffeyville, Parsons and al most every other city and town of Kansas in the tnatter of limiting the amount of money paid to depositors. One week ago both banks held meet ings of their directors and it was the unanimous sense of both directorates that no limit be placed on the amount of money paid out on check to de positorsat least not at that time. It was practically agreed that should such emergency arise then a different course might be pursued. Although in splendid financial con dition now the next few days will see an increased amount of currency on deposit in Cherryvale banks. Begin nlnsr today the pension checks will be gin to arrive and be taken up by the banks. These are payable In currency at the subtreasury In St.' Louis. From this source not less than $5,000 in cur rency will be added to the money, in local circulation because practically all this money Is spent and will re main at home.. Then will follow in a few days the big smelter pay roll. For this pay S. C. Edgar. Sr.; has ar ranged to send In currency from St. Louis. This one item will increase the currency volume in this city about $18,000 to $20,000. Yesterday was pay day for the city teachers and $1,650 was paid out In currency by one of the banks In sal aries to them. This Isn't a big- Item but it shows that' the local banks are able to look after all kinds of busi ness usiner actual money not "clear ing house checks" or "cashier checks". as many banks are now doing.

The interest of Kansas In the Denver, Laramie Northwestern railway enterprise. Is not susiamea, Dut is obviously grow ing. Parties of half a 1rKTi Investor) have been arriving from the Sunflower state at brief Intervals for a consider able period, but men of means who have faith- in the enterprise are now coming by carloads to investigate the proposition of the men who are push ing the project, and contribute their money to the advancement of It. John D. Milliken, president, and Cap tain Wilson L. Davenny, treasurer of the Northwestern Land and Iron com pany, reached Denver yesterday, ac companied by a large party of prom inent Kaissans who came with the pur pose of investing In the proposition that means so much to Denver and the fu ture development of the Northwest in 1he building of the Denver, Laramie Northwestern railway. The special Pullman car which had been engaged for the party, was un I equal to the task of accommodating a!l that desired to visit Denver and the coal fields of Wyoming. Additional pro vision was therefore necessary to the regular Pullmans. The party included a number of bank ers whom the recent flurry in Wall street could not divert from their pur pose to see and know for themselves the merits of an enterprise that had al ready enlisted in a material way so many other prominent men of means In their state. Coming at this time. they make it clear that the difficulties In Wall street have no serious place in their thought as affecting the plans of the promoters of the Denver, Laramie Northwestern. The men who constitute this party have seen Kansas emerge from its trials in the early '90s into the place of one of the richest of agricultural com monwealths. They understand what rich natural resources attended by ade- j quate transportation, may do in mak-I Ing an industrious people prosperous, j and the possessors of the most substan tial wealth. They know what the de velopment of a country of rich natural resources means, and that is why they are in Colorado. These men represent over $200,000 of capital to go into this project. The party, in charge of Mr. Milliken and Captain Devenny, consists of the following: Judge W. F. Hoch. Marlon, Kan., brother of Governor Hoch; Taylor Rid dle, Marion, Kan., ex-chairman Demo cratic state central committee; F. M. Sumpter, president Farmers" and Mer chants' bank, Argonia, Kan.; Colonel George H. Lawrence, proprietor Hamil ton hotel, Wichita, Kan.; William H.

The party leaves this morning for the coal fields in Wyoming, and will be ac companied by President Charles S. Johnson of the Denver, Laramie Northwestern railway. tofore the excursionists or horneseekers rates, that go into effect each fall, have drawn hundreds of farmers from this vi cinity to the south. The ticket sales for horneseekers has been extremely light tins fall and especially during the month 01 October. It is the concensus of opinion among the different agents of the country that the Kansas farmers have given up the idea of investing their money in for eign parts. A large decreasage has been shown in freight shipments into this city. The ship ments from the city have been largeand, in fact, over the general average. While the figures have not been compiled it is thought that the freight shipments to out side cities will be the greatest shown in recent years. Five KATY CANCELS ORDER. Ordered TICKET SALES DECREASE. Two Cent Fare Evidently Unprofitable on Wichita Roads. Wichita. Kan.. Nov. 7. The much ad vertised Increase in ticket sales is a re sult of the two-cent fare in not securing the desired results according witn tne taD ulations of the ticket office receipts of the different systems in Wichita. In fact, a slight decrease was shown during the past month. It was first thought that as soon as tne two-cent rate would go into effect the poorer classes of people, who have here- toiore Deen aemea me privilege ui riuins on the "kivered" cars would take advan tage of the great reduction. Quite the contrary has been proven though and it is doubtful whether as many people ride on the cars or not. The ticket agents offer no explanation to the conditions. Another queer condition found during the month is the fact that the people of Wichita and surrounding country are not seeking for greener pastures in Oklahoma I and Texas, as In the previous years. Here- j Hundred Cars Already Will Not Be Delivered, Parsons, Kan., Nov. 7. An order has been made by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway company canceling a con tract let several months ago to the Amer icar Car and Foundry company for build-ins- K0O hnr naru in fh St. Charles ShOPS. The contract was for 1.000 cars, 500 of whlph hava hppn turned out bv the St. Charles shops. Work on the second 500 would have been started this morning. At present the freight department has 175 box cars to be built for the Rock Island sys tem and this will require about three weeks. The mnloves are verv downcast prospects. as no new contracts are being sent in. The passenger department nas work until February. The railroads begin laying off every year at the commencement of winter prac tically all worKmen engaged in construe tion and lmorovement operations. The re duction of these forces has now begun on some of the roads, but not on the Katy. By the time that the weather becomes so severe as to prevent activity on these lines, all the extra special employes will be out of the service. -The management of the southwestern and western roads are now considering the number of men to be laid oft and the work to be stooDed. How many men will be retained will depend to a great extent on the work that can be pursued during the winter. Great STRIKERS EN J PINED. Injunction Western Obtains Secnrinjr Property. Dubuque. Ia., Nov. 7. Federal Judge Reed yesterday granted the Chi cago Great Western railway a tern porary injunction restraining Oelwein strikers and unions from interfering in any manner with the company s property or employes. Hearing on the permanent injunction was set for April, 1908. Two STEEL FOR ORIENT. Shipped Into Hundred Tons Wichita. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 7. Two hun dred tons of 70-pound steel rails have been received by the Orient railway for tracks through this city from Kcl logg street to the Junction with the Missouri Pacific tracks, at Twenty- fifth street. The Orient will use the Frisco's tracks through the city; the old tracks will be torn out and relald from the Junction of the Orient with the Frisco tracks, near Kellogg street, The Careful Physician A doctor recently said: "I know that if I could keep Coffee from most of my patients the remedies would be more effective." That's because Coffee contains a drug Caffeine which interferes with the success of other drugs the doctor may be giving the patient. Many persons do not realize they are taking a drug into their systems when they drink Coffee or Tea, but such is the fact. Some of the effects of the Coffee drug are Nervousness, Palpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath, Insomnia, Sour Stomach, Loss of Natural Appetite, Cold Hands and Feet, Indigestion, Bowel Troubles, ctcj etc Common sense would suggest the disuse of Coffee when such symptoms ehow themselves, before the disease becomes permanent. It is well to heed the doctor's advice when he says: "Cut Out Coffee if it disagrees" .It's an easy. and pleasant task when the further suggestion is observed: "And Use Postum 30 days' change from Coffee to Postum (well-boiled according to direeons on pkg.) will prove that "There's a Reason" for In the southern part of the city, to the Junction with the Missouri Pacific tracks at Twenty-fifth street In the northeastern part of town, where de liveries will be made -to the Missouri Pacific. A large gang of tracklayers is now busy laying the track south of Douglas avenue. It is thought that the freight depot will be finished, the tracks laid and trains be running over the new tracks within the next fifteen days. George S. Everett, who will be the agent for the Frisco railroad in this city has arrived from Anthony. Mr. Everett will select his office force and be ready for business in a few days. The contract between the Orient and the Frisco for the use of the latLer's facilities in this city by the Orient has been signed. NEW TOWN IN KANSAS. One Will Be Laid Out on Rock Island Near Liberal. Liberal, Kan., Nov. 7.. J. M. Wheel er has purchased a tract of land at Hayne switch and is busy laying out a townsite at that place. The town will be called La Verne and will be seven miles from Liberal by rail and about ten miles by wagon road. The site i9 well adapted for townsite purposes, having a good buffalo sod, is sufficient ly rolling to afford necessary drainage and surrounded by a good agricul tural country. There has been talk of a town at Hayne switch for a year past, as the place seems to have advantages of lo cation that make it a natural site for a. town. A number of people are al ready talking of buying lots and locat ing there as soon as the surveys ar completed. The rarmers of that vicin ity are of course greatly pleased at the prospect or having a town near them. About 35 acres is being platted into town and a big opening sale will be advertised to take place in the near future. NO MEN WILL BE LAID OFF. Santa Fe Needs All Employes to Work on Belen Cutoff. Kansas City, Nov. 7 J. E. Hurley, general manager of the Santa Fe rail road, said last night that the Santa Fe would not lay off any.-men this winter in its operating or maintenance of way department. "We need all the men we have now In completing the Belen cutoff," he said. TAFT GIVES ADVICE. Tells the Filipinos How to Partisan Politics. Conduct Manila," Nov. 7. Secretary Taft in an address at a banquet given by the Progressive party, spoke of the history of party divisions and declared that their existence was a necessary part of the changes In the Philippines. "The only method of conducting popular government," he said, "is by political parties. The Federal party at the time of its organization was in no sense political. When it existed it was the only party organized to convince the people they ought to accept the promises of the Americans. It worked bravely and faithfully to this end and to such an extent that much of the success of the early government of the islands was in no small measure due to the Federalists. "After tha firm establishment of the government had been accomplished, a change was natural.". In elections for members of the assembly it was nat ural for the people to. divide, knowing and believing thafc both the Nationalist and thb Progressive party hava the in terests of the government at heart the question of which shall control is set tled only- by an election. "The first principle of party poli tics necessary to learn is that defeat must not cause discouragement. The first lesson in self government that voters have to learn is to be good losers, and when that is learned to be good winners, because self govern ment comprises restraint on both sides. The minority must not strive to strike down the work of their oppo nents because they are not in control, and the majority must so conduct af fairs as to show that the people have part in the government. Nothing has given greater pleasure or more con fidence in the success of what we are doing than the action of the assembly. All matters up to date have been treat ed in a conservative manner by both the minority and the majority. All I ask Is that the minority, while point ing out the faults of the majority, may always conduct Itself with pride, so as to show the assembly is a success." The secretary referred to mistakes of the Cuban government, due to lack of interest in public affairs on the part of the lesislatures of that island and declared that the Philippines assembly showed a difference in this respect. Secretary Taft told the Associated Press that he expected to return nome over the Siberian railway. He thought at first that the troubles at Vladivostok would keep his party away from there. He has received no replies to dispatches of inquiry he has sent, but he regards it as extremely probable that he will stick to his original plans. A m-etln in Manila of National Radical?, no members of the assembly being present, adopted a motion cen suring the majority of that body for naclion in resjard to propositions in favor of independence. i t -5?v If 11 1 I One To take the sharp edge off. .an appetite that won't wait for meals To sharpen a poorappetite that doesn't care for meals eat M a Biscuit So nutritious, so easily di gested, that they have become the staple wheat food.

MAKING A NEW RECORD-. The Lusiiania Is Two Hours Ahead of Former Time. New Tork, Nov. 7. A wireless dis patch from the steamer Lusitania re ceived late last night says there is every- indication that the Lusltania's rec ord, established on her last westward voyage, will be broken. When the dis patch was sent the steamer was two hours ahead of the former run. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the actress, who is one of the passengers, has offer ed $500, to the engineers and stokers if the ship makes Sandy Hook before mid night tonight. The daily runs have been 606, 616, ana 618 knots. The Lusitania has a new claim on fame. After demonstrating the right to be labeled the largest and fastest steamship afloat, the great Cunarder is now playing an important part in the financial rehabilitation of the United States. She left Liverpool with $10,000, 000 in gold coin aboard, the greatest shipment of the yellow metal ever made in a single vessel. The treasure con voys of the Incas and the plate ships which once sailed the Spanish mam were but trifles In Value by comparison with the Lusitania on her present trip. This $10,000,000 shipment is the advance guard of the $37,600,000 worth of gold which has been engaged aDroaa to re lieve the monetary stringency here. TOM Ann Arbor. Mich., Nov. 7. Presi dential politics are booming In the University of Michigan. A Taft club has been organized with a member ship of 200 students. Inasmuch as these students represent a wide range of nativity the influence is far from local. The officers of the Taft club are president, J. A. Wagner, Battle Creek; vice president E. E.

Lexington, Ky., Nov. 7. Patrolman Michael Murphy, the second vitim of the affray between police and election workers here on Tuesday, died in St. Joseph's hospital last night. Murphy fired the shot which caused the death of young Clyde Campbell, having been previously shot by Campbell. Patrol man Smith will recover, but W. R. Campbell, father of Clyde, may not recover. For Taft and Hadley. Kansas City, Nov. 7. The Missouri Republican club, the oldest Republi can organization in Missouri and the only incorporated Republican club in the state, unanimously adopted a reso lution endorsing Secretary of War Wil liam H. Taft for president of the United States and Attorney General Hadley for governor of Missouri. HEARST IS SUED. William Astor Chanler Makes Charge of Criminal Libel. It has become an established fact that New Tork. Nov. 7 William R. Hearst appeared before Justice Wyatt In the court of special sessions for a hearing on the charge of criminal libel brought against him by former Congressman William A. Chanler. Mr. Chanler al leges that the libel was contained In a recent, article appearing in the New Tork Evening Journal concerning the case of Raymond Hitchcock, in which Mr. Chanler's name was mentioned. The complainant was on the witness stand and denied absolutely that ho had ever been at Hitchcock's house when young girls were there. He also denied that he had ever ridden in Hitchcock's automobile at any time, Mr. Chanler said that Hitchcock for the past two years had owned a home near his own at Great Neck, Long Island, and that he knew the actor quite well. At the conclusion of the hearing coun sel for Mr. Hearst moved that the case be dismissed and that Mr. Hearst be not held for the grand Jury on the ground that his proprietorship of the paper had not been proven and that the article in question had not been shown to be of a libelous character. In this connection it was testified by an employe of the Evening Journal that Mr. Hearst never wrote for that paper and that his only interest In it was in a financial way. Justice Wyatt gave counsel until next Monday to file briefs and said that he would render a decis next Wednesday. MENNONITES TO CANADA. FOUGHT 17 HOURS. Chicago City Council Finally Passed Telephone Ordinance. Chicago, Nov. 7. The Chicago Tele phone company's franchise extension ordinance was passed by the city coun cil at 3 a. m. today. After a continuous session of the body of aldermen, lasting nearly seventeen hours, the measure giving the telephone company a fran chise for 20 years was approved. A solid phalanx of 42 aldermen was the organization that put the ordinance through the council with only trifling changes from the shape It was reported by the committee and approved by tho telephone company. An opposition numbering twenty-six aldermen fought to obtain modifications In the terms of the ordinance but was defeated at ev ery step. The company Is to pay to the city semiannually threo per cent of the gross receipts of all its telephone busi ness, both inside and outside the city. After 30 months from the acceptance of the ordinance by the company the city council may by an amending ordi nance, change anv of thn mt. rhD,,i for any kind of service, such rate to be enect tor tne five following years. in WHEAT FLAKE CELERY is the best, food for growing children, invalids and the aged.

McPherson. Kan., Nov. 7. Almost a hundred people from McPherson and Marion counties left today over the Santa TTe for RaBkatehewan. Canada, to be in at tendance p.t the annual meeting of the German Mennonite Brethren church of the United States and Canada. At this rate of representation there will be thou sands of people at the conference. About ten delegates left McPherson over the Santa Fe this morning and were join ed by eighty others at Hillsboro. There were two extra coaches on the trains and these were packed. A few years ago there were only a few Mennonite Brethren in this vicinty, but in the last few years many members of this church have located in McPherson. The church publishing house is located here and is in touch with members in all carts of the United States. It has also been suggested that other important in stitutions of the church be located here. A FARMERS' INSTITUTE. Professors Ten Eyck and Dickens to Be at Garden City. Garden City, Kan., Nov. 7.

Topeka, Kansas, says: "Six years ago, or in the spring of 1899, Doan's Kidney Pills brought me such great relief that I was glad to tell the people of Topeka what means to employ If they sufferod from weak or overtaxed kidneys. In my statement I saia that for two years or more I had a slight kidney disorder which at times was quite annoying. There was not much backache, but the kidney secretions were disordered, too frequent in action, and at times ac companied with pain. The use of Doan's Kidney Pills quickly cured me and left no unpleasant after-effects. I have no inclination to retract anything said, but instead can add that the cure then effected has remained com plete. Not a trace of the complaints has ever returned.

Heney will continue to 'prosecute the San Francisco grafters ty a big majority. Coffeyville does not appear to take to the commission form of govern ment especially hard. The trouble with the high financiers of New York, as Gomer Davles sees it, was that the parachute failed to work. This Is the time of year that It is a hard job to get enough grub on the table to satisfy the ordinary growing boy. Cleveland seems committed to the three-cent fare habit, but it would have been about the same had Burton won.. When we all get to using flying ma chines, will somebody propose a bond issue to build a boulevard through the 8ky? New York appears to have some money left after all. AH that i needed was the proper inducement to bring it forth. The football situation at Lawrence lias reached the point where it calls out column editorials in the local newspapers. Already the country is being advised to buy its Christmas presents early and the "panic" is just disappearing around the bend, too. There is some discussion as to whither Mr. Fairbanks aid or didn't ey he is out of the presidential race. But what's the difference? He is. As another evidence of western pros perity, the Kansas country newspapers are compelled to print ten and twelve pages a week to accommodate their advertisers. Mr. Roosevelt also refuses to be- I come a United States senator from New York when he retires from the White House, so it is up to the public to pick out a new job for him. Th beef trust has assured the coun try that the price of meat is going down, but we are forced to the conclu sion that the beef trust is standing on Its head and has its directions mixed. If Congressman Scott of Kansas is made chairman of the house commit tee on agriculture, will he dare to try to lop oft the free seed graft which nobody but the congressmen wants? There Is nothing to indicate that grreat gobs of grief are welling up in the bosom of one Joseph Benson For aker as a result of the dereat of Theo dore E. Burton for mayor of Cleve land. This is the time of year that the mis guided Kansas farmer who went up to Canada a year or two ago wishes he were back in a land of sunshine where he never had to harvest his wheat with mittens on to keep his hands warm. Although the reformatory directors decided that "the Specific charges" were not proven against Superintend ent Marshall, his speedy resignation gives assurance of a change in man agement of the Hutchinson institution. If this person Day, of Syracuse, N. T., were not so harmless and sort of amusing, it might be necessary to call Jilm down, but notwithstanding the high position he holds as the head of a great university, he froths at the mouth So much that no one takes him seriously any more. He has little in fluence left. There have been some famous plays on words made by noted wits in the history of literature, but it is doubtful K aagrthins in that line was ever per- petrated more clever than the play in tne closing sentence of this paragraph by Charles Blakesly in the Kansas City Star: "Attorney General Bona parte, and not Harry Bone, the United States district attorney, will cause pro ceeding to be brought against the Ap peal to Reason, the Socialist paper of Glrard. Some of the papers seem to be unable to tell Mr. Bonaparte and Mr. Bone apart." WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT? Apropos of President Ripley's as sertion that excessive railroad rates do not materially affect the price which consumers pay for goods. Mr. W. Y. Morgan in the Hutchinson News comes forward to contradict Mr. Ripley. He argues that the jobber and the retailer do not pay the freight, but they add It to the cost of the article and make the consumer pay it. Here Is President Ripley's state ment: "Did it ever occur to you that so far as merchandise rates are con cerned the roads might haul the sup plies consumed in the state free of charge, and it .would not affect the living expenses of the average family to the extent of five dollars a year or that they might double the present rates and the average householder or head of a family would not know it unless he saw it in his newspaper?" While Mr. Morgan is right in theory, the State Journal believes that when it comes to the practical work ings of the matter, President Ripley is correct. Yet it is not always the con sumer who pays the freight some times it is the producer. It is usually the other fellow from the one who makes the price. For instance, heretofore the Kansas farmer has never had anything to say about the price of his wheat. He has taken whatever has been offered him in Kansas City or Chicago less the freight and expense of handling. In other words, he has paid the freight and he is the producer. But now certain farmers are at tempting to say that their wheat is worth a dollar a bushel. If they sue ceed, the man at the other end of the line will come to them and pay their price. Then it will make no differ ence to the farmer what the freight Is. It will be added to the cost of the grain to the consumer. The producer also pays the freight on cattle. The stockman takes what ever the packing houses in Kansas City and Chicago offer him, and he pays the freight to get his stock to them. But when it comes to trust-control led goods, the manufacturer fixes the price to the jobber, the jobber adds his freight and profit and makes the price to the retailer, and the latter repeats the operation, charging the sum up to the consumer. Now a reduction of four, five of more cents a hundred pounds on wheat would benefit the farmer, pro vlding he could keep the grain dealer from absorbing it, but it does not fol low that a reduction of ten or even twenty cents a hundred pounds on sugar, or baking powder or kerosene, or crackers, would benefit the con sumer who pays the freight. Not at all. It would go to the Jobber, or to the retailer whichever happened to be in a position to get it. The reduc tion would be so small when figured down to the purchases of the consum er that it would make no difference In the price to him. That's the way it works in practice. That is why Mr. Ripley's statement is true. Yet it does not follow that Presi dent Ripley is correct in assuming that Kansas is not entitled to lower rates on such articles, simply because they would not thereby be cheapened to the consumer. It Is discrimina tions in such rates as these that build or tear down cities and make com munities prosperous or otherwise. It Is these rates that build up great mon- opolles for some men at the, ruin of their competitors. Such rates make for princely fortunes or disastrous poverty. Although the consumer might not save a cent by a small reduction In grocery freight rates, such a reduc tion might enable a large number of Kansas grocery jobbers to enlarge their business enough to employ 100 more men each at good wages. A slight reduction in other lines would benefit other communities. Those who would benefit directly would make more business for their neighbors and thus the benefits would eventually be distributed, even if the consumer was not saved a cent in the price of his groceries. Towns would grow Into cities, built up by substantial indus tries which could not exist if discrim inated against in freight rates. The publisher of the Hutchinson News is. In a way, a Jobber in print paper. He buys it by the carload and sells it to his subscribers. It is quite likely that he is charged excessive freight rates amounting to 1200 or more a year. That comes out of his pocket. He probably would not ar gue that if he were saved that amount by a reduction in freight, he would lower his subscription price or advertising rates a cent. But that $200 would go far towards paying the ren tal on a linotype machine and enable him to make a better newspaper for his subscribers. So the benefit would be passed along. Mr. Ripley is correct in a way, but his deductions do not necessarily fol low. The main question is whether Kansas is discriminated against or charged excessive rates.

"KILLING COXITDEXCE." The anti-Roosevelt financiers of the east continue to scream at the top of their voices that "Roosevelt did it." Some conservative papers back there be lieve that this financial stringency makes Roosevelt, or anyone represent ing his policies, a presidential impos sibility for next year. The Wall street gamblers are making the most of the opportunity to create the impression In the popular mind that the president is responsible, when the truth is that they brought this disaster on themselves. Under the head, "Killing Confidence," the New York Sun, one of the most pronounced of corporation organs. publishes this letter from a man who signs only his initials: "I have always been a producer and always hope to be a builder up of pro perties and hold to the confidence of everybody.

Tens of thousands of laboring men will be thrown out of employment through the failure of their firms to sell their products; thousands of good legitimate business men will never be able to re coup In a lifetime their losses caused by the lack of confidence. "What Is most in demand in this country today is confidence. But for the enormous crops at home and the failure of crops abroad and the good prices that farmers are getting for their products today in the world mar ket we should have the worst times this country has seen since it was call ed the United States of America." Think of such talk as that! Of course. the west knows better. The "panic- fell down. The frenzied financiers did their worst, but the great producing masses kept their heads and refused to be panic-stricken by the stock gamblers.

'The success or failure of a country editor hinges largely on whether he Is capable of writing effectively under countless interruptions," says Ralph Tennal in the Sabetha Herald. "You can safely bet that every paragraph of any length you see in the Herald was written in from two to a dozen or more sections. That is to say the Writer was interrupted that many times and each time had to go back to the thread of what he was saying. If at times you detect uneven Joints in matter in the Herald, that Is the reason. Sometimes it is necessary to lay aside entirely something that is being written, to take u" hours and perhaps a day later. To write for a newspaper is still a pleas ure, after a newspaper grind of 18 years, but the leaving off and the tak ing, on of the thread of the story Is very hard work, and It will never be anything else. We will never believe that following the plow and pitching hay is equally wearing. Somehow it seems to burn human carbon at both ends to try to do conscientious work for a newspaper and attend to many other things at the same time. Country newspaper offices must be run that way, and the steel of the editor is being tried every minute of the time he is doing his work." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.

Some weeks atro a citizen of Over brook cloRpil hia ailv di-.f-AAF. FIa Triad borne a prominent part in the life of ui town irom its beginning; ne was a man of ability: he was a man of edu cation; he was a man of skill in his caning; he was a genial man and had many friends but his life fell short in years what it should have reached, his ability, education and skill did not carry him to the height of which he was worthy, his friends sometimes found it necessary to make excuses for his con auct, all because of his habit of drink ing to excess. It seems proper to the editor of this paper, winie the story of this man's life is still fresh in this community, not with malice, but for the benefit, for the warning of the vnnni men and bovs. to 6ay this man's experience is almost universally the experience of those who commence to drink It shortens their lives, it cripples them in ability, it loses them friends, it saddens their homes. Thousands yes, tens of thousands nave thought they could drink a little and not become drunkards, and havo found to their sorrow that they were mistaken they could not stop. Once in a great while a drinking man is seen who never drinks to excess. Ihe grandson of one such, a man who once had been a drunkard, but who, by the grace of God, had led a sober life for years, said to the writer: "My grand father was a drinker all his life, but never got drunk; my father fought the appetite for liquor all his life, but never drank, and I have had a lifelong light of it." Young men, old men, even if you be one of the very few who drink without getting drunk, would you wish to leave sucn a legacy to your children and grandchildren as that moderate drink er left? Boys, did you ever hear of a man dying a drunkard who- never took the first drink? You are always safe from drink if you never touch the intoxi cating cup. Let it alone, one and all. old and young!

Botkin has made great sacrifice for the cause of reform and has made more good speeches in Kansas than any man liv ing. There does ont appear to be much glory for a man to run on the Demo eratic ticket in Kansas,- but we are hitched up on the political business in sucn a way tnat we will vote for J. JL. Botkln on the Democratic ticket or any other ticket that he wants to run. Since there will be no Populist party nominations next year, that is in all probability, we feel no special concern about party success, but the nomina tion of Botkin would put new political life and new hope in the editor of the Free Press.

After a recovery from certain diseases the human constitution becomes more vigorous and robust than it was before the illness. It will be much the same with the American body politic when it emerges from the period of conva lescence following the financial fever of the last few days. Much will be gained after recovery from the malady whose fluctuations have been recorded by the stock ticker, if the shoemaker will stick to his last more intently and the man agers of the more) pretentious enter prises, corporate of otherwise, will give exclusive and faithful attention to thn practical duties of their positions. The strong industrial, i railway, insurance and other corporate enterprises were founded by men who devoted them selves to the business their institutions were chartered to promote. If there be no departure from this safe and sound policy these enterprises are likely to stand like a rock against the storms that disturb the financial world. Public confidence has been, shaken by the ex cessive exploitation not of the proper business of certain corporations, but of their stocks and securities to advance the "personal schemes of high officials. Gentlemen's agreements" lor aouotiu' perhaps sinister purposes, securing pos session of a chain of banks to further the ends of purely speculative pools and combinations, are among the abuses of "high finance" revealed dur ing the depression from which we are recovering.

In the village cemetery, beautified by its white and yellow flowers and gilded by the rays of a setting sun, I saw a most beautiful girl of about 16 laugh Ing like one bereft, with her eyes fixed upon one of the slabs of a tomb. What a disagreeable sensation I ex perlenced on seeing her thus laugh Such merriment, contrasting with the sadness that prevailed where so many beings reposed in eternal slumber, was unnatural! I drew near, and in a tone of re proach said to her: Beautiful child, you would not thus laugh had you loved or even known the hapless being resting beneath these stones. And she, looking at me with aston- lshment, exclaimed: "Know him! Holy "Virgin! Why, h was my lover! We would have mar ried. I had no Joys which he did not share! My thoughts were his; his hopes were mine. When his heart' beats ceased, I felt that Death cried unto me: Come, come!' "Why do you laugh, then?"

"Bring on the hot rolls, Violet," said Mrs. Brent in her bharp. decisive tones- The tall, anzular srirL thus aamonisra- ed. returned to the kitchen and then th dehicrn nf merriment. Young Graham, the superintendent of the beet sugar factory, bit his Up, then choked over an infinitesimal scrap Of breakfast food. Prof. Hinds, of the high school faculty, cleared his throat, then with fork and knife upraised in an attitude much decried in the modern books on etiquette, stared blankly after the retreating figure. Bessie uiyion, the stenographer at the Sampson ira plement offices, she of the fluffy pompa dour and retrousse nose, giggled, then hastily swallowed a spoonful of coffee which DromDtlv went down ner oun day throat," and this on Thursday morning! And simultaneously a gale of laughter swept around the circle of boarders at Mrs. Brent s select ana "homelike" establishment. To the accompaniment of this laugh' ter Violet passed the hot rolls from boarder to boarder, little dreaming that she was responsible for the untoward merriment. Not that laughter and mer riment were uncommon at Mrs. Brent's, The cheerful atmosphere of her board Ing house, as much as her own good cookery, kept the same circle of guests there, year after year. only Prof. Hinds, the new principal of the high school, and pretty Grace Saunders wer newcomers this season. And Violet yes. Violet was the new waitress. Vio let! As she thrust the delicious rolls under Fred Graham's shaking shoulders, he remembered, coughed and exclaimed: That was the best story you ever told. Mrs. Brent." Grace Saunders shot him a grateful glance, but Prof. Hinds looked up blankly, as If trying to remember the story that had never been told; then as Violet again disappeared through the kitchen door, he murmured: Most incongruous. Never saw any thing farther removed from a shrink ing, delicate Violet in my life. Six feet. if she's an inch. Funny, how parents do select such inappropriate names for their children; Violet! Ought to have called her 'Sunflower!' "But, professor, you must bear In mind that the name was bestowed when the girl measured perhaps twelve in ches. Babies measure about a foot, don't they?" And young Graham gazed Inquiringly at his fellow boarders. "Probably was one of those dainty, fragile sort of babies that shoot up Ilka bean poles later on. Did that my self, my mother tells me." Half an hour later, Grace Saunders returned to the dining room Intending to ask Mrs. Brent some questions re garding the best stores in the town, She found Violet darting about the ta ble, clearing away crumbs, setting back chairs, etc, with a worried look on her face. Mrs. Brent came In from the kitchen. "There, Violet, don't you try to straighten up the whole place. You'll be late to school. It's five blocks to the business college, you know, and you've got your dress to change yet." "Oh, are you going to the business college?" Inquired Grace. .The tall, slender girl stopped untying her apron at the cordial note in the boarder's voice. "I am so glad, because I am go ing there, too. Today is my first and it will be so nice to see a familiar face-' Then, as solemnly as It had awaken ed, the expression of delighted antici pation died In Violet's face. She re membered. She was the waitress at Mrs. Brent's, waitress for her board and room, and Miss Grace Saunders was the daughter of a millionaire ranch owner and Cattle raiser In the southern part of the state. Mrs. Brent and the rest 'of the "help" In the kitchen had said it was most remarkable that a girl with such a father should not be study ing in an eastern college instead of an unknown business college In an obscure western city. But Grace Saunders was not the sort of girl to be snubbed. When school closed that afternoon Violet Andrews found that Grace could keep pace with her and would not accept the excuse that there was work awaiting the pupil- waitress in the Brent home. "Como into my room tonight and" we Will go over those dreadful curlicues together," Grace urged, as she turned into the front door at the Brent house. while Violet wheeled to the walk lead- ihg to the kitchen. Something told her that a shadow had come into that girl's life since morning that here was a chance where she herself might be helpful, and Grace Saunders belong ed in the class of girls who simply must be of cheer and service to their fellow creatures. The "curlicues" were not gone over, however, for within two minutes after Violet had entered Miss Saunders' room they were talking of more per sonal matters. "I know now why the men all laugh ed at the table this morning. It was me. They laughed at the business col lege, too! What la wrong with me?" Grace glanced up at the angular yet passionate, quivering figure. A high pompadour crowned a long, narrow face and enormous black bows stood out on either side of her long, thin throat like bat wings. Her frocks was absolutely tight-fitting, accentuating every angular line. Sit down, my dear, and let s talk. said Grace gently. "It Isn't fair," sobbed Violet, flinging herself Into the proffered chair. "Here you are with money, beauty and every thing. And I've ciavea ana scrubbed and done washing to earn money enough to pay for my course. But even if I do learn stenography, who will hire me? What do they want with me when they can get girls like you and Miss Layton. There's something wrong with me. What is It?" Grace laid a friendly hand on the heaving shoulders. I think It is your name and your hair." Violet sat up very straight. "My what?" "Your name and your hair. You see. one always thinks of a violet as some thing small and shrinking and delicate and you well, you are six feet tall with that pompadour, xou cannot change your name, but you can change your hair." The weeks that followed were like fairyland trips to Violet, whose mother had read herself into mental and physi cal Inertia on a diet of novels, while her father had tried to wrest gold from the sphinx-like mountains. She learn ed that Grace Saunders was merely studying bookkeeping and stenography in order to help ner rather, whom she adored, and that she had time between studies to do the most wonderful sew ing Violet had ever seen. But first she taught Violet how to drees her half. low and soft in puns above ner ears. and a low knot at the nape of her neck. Then how to do Delsarte exercises, to acquire ease and to feed certain angles with massage cream. The change was gradual, But one day when Violet waited on the table In a frock made with deep ruffles that broke her height and soft frills at throat and wrist, young Graham looked puzzled. Seems, like vioiete ao Dioom, some times rather late in life," ho remarked as he took the entire circle of board ers into his confidence. "But I would like to know how she became shorter. "Some girls are born with femin inity," -remarked Grace Saunders gen tly, "like Miss Layton, for instance," Whereat the little stenographer dim pled delightfully, and young Graham beamed approval. "And some girls have to acquire it. like Violet. Just u soon as she dropped exaggerated high heels, lowered her pompadour and wore fluffy frocks instead of straight lines, she became feminine and at tractive. Such Is the psychological In fluence of frocks. But under it all, she had always a most charming nature and a brilliant mind." "Yes, and' she makes such good fudge. I never tasted better In my college days." It was Prof. Hinds who Spoke, and in the sudden silence every one stared at him. Who would have thought the man behind the glasses cared for fudge? And then somehow it dawned upon the circle of boarders that the professor was looking very young and had yes he had some wild violets, the first of the warm early spring. In his buttonhole. He took off his glasses and glanced around with amusement. "Why not I always was partial to violets." Mrs. Brent slipped her hand under the tablecloth and found Grace Saun ders' palpitating finger tips. "You knew all tha time," wills pered. "Rather! It was my Idea but tht professor took to it with amazing alacrity." And then pretty Miss Layton sprang from her chair and pushed the aston lshed young waitress, who had Just en tered the place, beside the professor. "The idea of announcing an en gagement with the bride-to-be out of the room. I Insist upon passing the hot cakes this morning." And then, with the mmory of that first day. and the wave of amusement that had gradually changed to respect and admiration for the girl and her pluck and her adaptability, the board ers of Mrs. Brent's seleot and home like establishment rose and solemnly drank a toast in the coffee for which Mrs. Brent was famous: "To Violet." cried young Graham. And this time no one laughed, but the tenderness which comes when love's wings flutter close, seemed to soften every eye that looked upon ths happy professor and the happier girl.

Orders For That Amount Are Expect ed In Short Time. Pittsburg-. Pa.. Nov. 7. Predictions are made that tne delay of the rail. roads in placing orders for steel rails will be ended within 30 days, when it is expected there will be upwards of from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 tons of new orders placed. Should the vast tonnage, amounting at least to $56,- 000,000 materialize it will place the trade hero in its normal condition and steel industry. The conferences between the rail roads and the steel manufacturers ov er the process of rail manufacture has drifted along for months longer than had been anticipated by either side.r. The agreement, said to have been reached provides for an optional percentage cropping new rails. Un- der the old process eight per cent of cut on to insure soundness of the remainder. Experts claimed tnis is too small and a re- commendation that it be increased to 15 Per cent was made. To offset the additional cost that this would mean to manufacturers it said to have been tacitly agreed that the increased cropping will advance the price of rails. unaer tne old arrangement rails sola ror 28 a ton, which price, it is said, will advance to $31 a ton unaer tno new arrangement KLEIN TO WRITE A BOOK.

President Roosevelt, in a statement regarding luesaaya elections, saia: Tne victory in New Jersey, was precisely what happened nine years ago in the middle or resident Mc- Klnley's administration. He had car ried New Jersey by 88,000 and two years afterwards the Republican can didatc for sovernor had 5,500. the vote being cut down just as happened in the Judge Fort case. As compared with tho elections next preceding the last presidential election we have done decidedly better than tve did In 1903 Then, as on Tuesday, Rhode Island and Maryland went against us, but this rear we have won a sweeping victory in Kentucky for the first time since McKInley s first election: and the victory in Massachusetts was also remarkable. "The showing in Pennsylvania and Nebraska is equally good. The show lng in New Tork state as a whole was excellent, far better than was the case prior to the last presidential elec tion. That the result In Manhattan was due to purely local causes is shown by comparing it with the de cisive triumphs in Brooklyn,' Buffalo Albany and in the state generally. My home county of Nassau made a better showing than it ever has in an off year. As a whole the sfiowlns has been an Improvement over what it was four and eight years ago." BERRY WINS HIS SUIT.

MR. T. 13. NASH and FAMILY. WILLIAM M. rviNS. DIVIDES WITH SANTA FE Judge Wellborn Assesses "An Inter mediate Penalty" Against the Road. Los Angeles, Nov. 7. Judge Olln Wellborn, in the United States district court today, fined the Atchison, Topeka Santa Railway company $330,000 for rebating. The fine was what the court denominated "an intermediate pen alty," the maximum which might have been assessed being $1,320,000 and the minimum $66,000. The court review ed the case in a written opinion of some length in which it stated that there were sufficient doubtful and ex tenuating circumstances to preclude the possibility of a maximum sentence and yet sufficient intention of wroiw doing shown to make impossible minimum penalty. The Santa Fe company was convict' ed on October 11 last, by a Jury in th federal court of granting rebates to the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement com pany of Arizona. It was found guilty on all of the 66 counts, charged in the Indictment after but an hour's delib eration. The rebates which were given on shipments of lime and cement from Nelson, Ariz., to Los Angeles, ranged in amounts from 35 cents to .$15. The company claimed that these amounts were not rebates on the regular rreignt rate but were in the form of damage to goods shipped, which were allowed Af ter such claims had been regmariy presented and proved in each instance. The court today did not take that view of the case, however, and stated that it "was not convinced by any means that these amounts represented bona fide settlement of claims. 'It is hard to believe," the court con tinued in its opinion, that the agents of the corporation did not know that thev were violating the law. In any event such ignorance of the law is al most equivalent to a criminal Know ledse of it. About 75 Dersons were present in the court room when the nne was imposu. Judge Wellborn entered with his written opinion in his hand. After stating that he had carefully consid ered the case, tne judge oegan siowiy the reading of his judgment, iie pro nounced in a strong, clear voice slowly and with repeated emphasis, the crowd following his reading closely to catch the first intimation 01 ten amount o the fine. The court now and then pausea during the reading to make inter lineations in the document he was reading, which he did with pen and ink. nausintr each time carefully to hlot the Daner. There was no excite ment in the room when the amount of the fine was announced. Solicitor-W. E. Camo for the com hanv immediately moved a stay of judgment, which was required, he said. by the time necessitaieo. 111 preirui the defendant's bill of exceptions. Counsel-- indicated that January 1 wmilrl suit them for a limit on me stay. United States District Attorney iaw- lor objected to so long a time and Judge Wellborn fixed the stay at 30 days with the privilege of an extension, if a sufficient showing should be made to tn oourt at that time. The court tnn peremptorily called the next case on the docket. None of the Santa Fe of- firfnls were present today. The com pany being represented by Solicito" Camp and Attorney Vancott.

Governor Points Out Paramount Issue to Alabama Legislature. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 7. In his message to the special session of the legislature which convened here. Gov ernor B. B. Comer insisted that the control and regulation of the railroads by the state is a question more import ant than the making of rates or any other matter since it involves the ques tion ui.uie ngnt or tne state to control Its internal affairs. The message goes on to say that President Smith, ui me Louisville e Nashville railroad, has held out against the Alabama law while others have put them in effect; has defied the state and its nennla bv conducting a lobby at the capitol and openly admitting that his companv has influenced legislation in the past; has called the governors of Alabama and Georgia populistic; has raised rates over night in defiance of state laws, and has generally refused to recognize the right of the state to make laws apply ing to transportation companies. That the Alabama rate laws are not confiscatory is evidenced, the governor saia, Dy.tne tact that they prevail in other nearby states and provide profit. Financial troubles have not grown out of the laws made to control corpora tions but out of the rascality of the high financiers, and the producers of the cotton of the south is now coming to save the country from panic. The Louisville Nashville railway is charged witn manipulation to prevent the use or waterways, to make rules handling coal, demurrage and freight that are arbitrary and generally to con trol the state to the detriment of the people.

BASKETBALL AT Y. M. C. A. Student Class Defeat the Senior A's Last Night. The evening of athletic contests and games at Central Young Men's Christian association gymnasium last night were of more than ordinary in terest. The principal event of the evening was a hotly contested basket ball game between the senior A and student class representative teams. The rivalry was Intense and not until the finish of the same was the out come assured. During the first half the senior A rn-en played much the better game and had they been as fortunate in caging the ball as their younger opponents they would probably have run up a score which the students would not have been able to equal throughout the game, but as It was the score stood 11 to 10 In favor of the A class at the end of the first half. During the in termission the students got together and rallied their men so that the sec ond half was a different story. Capt. Searle was in to guard Capt. Steves of the A team and while he had his hands full he succeeded In "sticking". Rears played the star game for the high school men and almost literally ran circles around "Bill" Thayer. Harry Ruth, captain of the high school team, actad as referee. The final score ai the end of the second half was 20 to 15 in favor of the students. This gives the students a lead in the lnterclass competition, having won two games and lost none. Next Wednesday evening the senior B class will play the Busy Men at volley ball. In the individual competition there was a surprise in the shape of a dark horse. The event was the one-standing broad jump and was won by B. Thrull at 9 feet 4 inches. The rec ord held last year and up until this time by Curtis Smith was 8 feet 8 inches. Following this the teams competed in the one-standing broad jumo, one lap hurdle relay and basketball. The standing of the teams now is 1-82; 2-74; 3-54; and 4-27.

"I shall run the Uncle Sam Oil com pany much the same as the banks are run," said-Mr. Goebel last -night. "Tne best policy under the circumstances Is to-first get capable lieutenants, and in fact, capable men all the way down the line to those who drove the oil wagons.

I am free in my control and am to take orders from no one." Mr. Goebel said he had not spoken o Secretary H. H. Tucker since the prop osition was put to him by the secretarv that he assume control of the company's affairs. He had made no fight for th trusteeship, neither had it been thrust upon him. His main object, he said, was to free the company from Indebted ness and put It on a paying basis. "I am now no longer business mana ger of the company," said Tucker last night "The load Is on another man's shouldersr but It Is now Immeasurably lightened. I have promoted the com pany and proved it solid and solvent to both the stockholders and the courts This is enough for one man. and I am content for Mr. Goebel, with his care ful system of business management to now step in and make the company the strongest in the west and reap what benefit there Is in It."

The revelation that ouch was the case did not come however until late In the evening when the council and city officials assembled at a special session of that body at the council chamber. Visions of some new sewer scandal had members of the council decidedly Uneasy for fear that In some manner unknown they might find their names mixed up in the resulting scandal. F. G.

The city attornev thought, when the announce ment came of a secret session of the council that he had offended the coun cil In some manner and that a reduc tion of salary was probably contem plated or even impeachment proceeu lnes. After takine several of the coun cilmen off to one side and quizzing them concerning the object of the meeting fend securing no results, Drennlng be came frantic and announced to his as sistant w. c.

All of the councilmen with the excep tion of C. K. Holliday. who scented trouble and could not come because of a "previous engagement," appeared at 7:30 at the council chamber and waited expectantly for the mayor to announce the reason for the call. With sober face the mayor gravely said: "Gentlemen, this is an unusual way of calling a meeting together, but I think when you learn of the cause you will decide that the end justifies the means- The coun cil has been deceived, gravely deceived. However, as my first Information came from Mr. Horn you had best hear what he has to say at this time." Councilman Horn arose to explain the unusual call. "The mayor has asked me to state the object of the meeting," said he. "I have heard some things said, that I don't like to hear. I have heard it said when this Sunday closing of the theaters came upland it-happened that I wasn't here, that some of the members of the council said that I stayed away to keep from voting and going on record. Borne of the council seemed to think that I had Intended to not be here and showed me a kind of cold shoulder. Then when the question came up of shutting out the automo biles from the state house drives I was left all alone to fight it and even Mr. Holliday left me. Now you gentlemen can take your rigs and go through the state house grounds and enjoy the flow ers while I have to stay out and look over the fence. Tou had It in for me. I thought that I ought to have some sort of revenge, and I am going to have It. We have been here together now for some time. I have been In the coun cil for three years and I am going to do something that was never done be fore. I want to get a little revenge and I want you to all come out to my houss this evening." "What's the matter with Horn? He's all right," yelled the couhcilmen with Vigor and the relief tnat tney exper ienced that they hadn't been caught yet In any scandal lent especial zest to their yells. Councilman Jordan moved to accept and a chorus of seconds fol lowed. Climbing on board a street car the councilmen, city officials and city hall reporters went out to Councilman Horn's new home at Fifth and Toneka avenue where with songs and felicitous after dinner speeches they whtled away the hours most enjoyably.

Editor Who Attacked Von Moltke's Character is Punished. Berlin, Nov. 7. "The charges against me are absurd and untrue," said Prince von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, in court, at the trial of a journalist, Herr Brand, on the charge of calumniating tne -cnancenor Dy intimating that he practiced vices similar to those referred to in the von Moltke-Harden case. Brand, a sickly looking young ex-an-archlst, already had been sentenced three times to imprisonment for cal umnies and publishing Indecent litera ture. The chancellor further denied all re sponsibility for Herr Harden's attacks upon General von Moltke and Prince zu Eulenburg. Prince zu Eulenburg. who was summoned as a. witness, was fn very poor health.-- He required a quar ter oi an nour to get tip the stairway.

W. Dana of the district court has appointed C. E. Jewell, Ed Buck man and William Henderson to serve as a commission to condemn lands for right of way for the Topeka-South-Vvestern Railway company. Under the right of eminent domain, railroad com panies can condemn through land for railroad purposes by making an ap plication to the district court. The Judge of the court then appoints a commission composed of three free holders of the county who view the various tracts of land along the route of the railway. This commission then makes the appraisements and reports to the county clerk. The railroad com pany deposits the respective amounts with the county treasurer and goes ahead and takes possession of the land. It is necessary for the railway com pany to file a map showing the location of their line In the eounty. This the Tooeka-Southwestern Railway com pany has done and the condemnation proceedings will cover the route as in dicated on the map filed by the com pany with the county clerk. The point of beginning specified in the applica tion ror this commission filed by the railway company is designated at the southeast corner of section two (2), township twelve (12), range fifteen (15). This is the Quarter section gen erally known as the College Hill addi tion. The line runs west from thai point- through Seabrook Into the Sims pasture, south of Mount Hope ceme tery. It then turns to the southwest In the direction of Dover. When Mr. Taylor, president of the Topeka-Southwestern, was seen this morning, he said: "I have Just learned over the phone the names of the com missioners appointed by Judge Dana. I see no reason why we should not be satisfied with the commission the court has appointed. This Is A straight out business proposition with us. We ex- i pect to pay what the right of way Is i worth and when we can not get to gether with the land holders we will abide by what the commission awards. Our right of way department has been working for the past two months ac quiring right of way In Topeka and Mission townships, and right where we want to go to work first is the point that Is causing us the most trouble. I was In hopes that we would not have to have any condemnation proceeding at an. but we are spending money re ceived from the bond sales made to our business men of Topeka and it would De.Bgainst the rules of economy we have been practicing' to go out there and pay these people an unreasonable price for right of way through their land. The Commercial club assured Lamprecht Brothers Co. that we would furnish the right of way from the west line of the city limits of To peka to the west line of Mission town ship and we are buying this right of way from the proceeds of bonds sold our local people and while the bonds are perfectly good and worth one hun dred cents on the dollar to the pur chaser, we don't propose to waste the money that the business men are put ting up for them, and I believe that it will be better for all concerned to ae qulre this property by condemnation proceedings."

The new type of car differs consider ably from the ears how in use by the rapid transit company. Its rear plat form is from seven to nine feet long and is fitted with an entrance and exit for passengers; The conductor stand at the door and collects fares as pas sengers enter. The platform accommo dates between twenty-five and thirty passengers, and they enter the car through a door on the left side, while passengers leaving the- ca- make their exit by a door in the right side of the car.

By the present method of collecting fares on street cars, the less to the company is estimated at from 5 to 15 per cent of the gross earnings. The rapid transit company earned $18,000. 000 last year. At the lowest estimate the saving by the new cars will, it is declared, be $900,000. The damages from accidents are riot included in this amount. Were it not for the extraordinary ex pense incurred In the completion of the Market street subway, it is probable that the rapid transit company would order 500 or more cars this year. If the money market improves the direc tors may deem it advisable to negoti ate some form of lean by which a large amount of equipment can be purchased. The company operates nearly 3,500 cars of various types, and BOO will be need ed within the next year to replace old cars and provide for the 'business. The equipment committee consists of W. H.

For several weeks past there has been a general weeding out of em ployes in the state printing plant who could possibly be spared without re ducing the efficiency of the different departments and this has given rise to the report that the financial situation is to blame. This is true in one re spect, but had not the recent flurry manifested itself the result would have been the same, as the appropriation made by the last legislature appears to nave oeen inadequate. Six men in the composing room out or a force of twenty-four, have been released and it is more than likely that more will follow within the next few weeks as there is no relief in sight at this time. For a month or more State Printer McNeal has been sendina warnings to the various state depart ments which have flooded the state printing plant with orders for work that something of this kind would occur. It is evident that the protests of the state printer were not taken seriously by tne state officials; at any rate work poured into the state printing estab lishment in a steady stream over his protests until now a halt has beeit caned. From now until the 30th of June, when the appropriation for 1908 Is available, only such work as is an absolute necessity will be accepted at the state printing plant. When the appropriation for the state printing plant was made by the last legislature amounting to $35,000 for lUf, the needs of several departments created by this same body were not taken into consideration, and as a re sult there will be a deficit of several thousand dollars. One of the largest demands made on the state printer has come irom tne state tax commission, one of the creations of last winter's legislature. Anticipating the needs of the new departments created the legislature appropriated $iu,uou more for state printing for next year than it did for this but In some way overlooked them entirely for the first year of their establishment when they have needed more in the printing line than they are r.Kejy to any otner year. "There is nothing in the action at the plant to become alarmed over," said T. B. Brown, foreman of the plant, last night. "The men were let out because there is not sufficient money left in the fund to do all the printing it would require to keen these men employed. The state departments nave Deen overrunning their allow ances and In order to have enoueh money to do the necessary printing ror Tne rest or tne year it was neces sary to cut down the monthly amount. I suppose the forces in other depart ments of tha plant will be cut down also. Next year we will have an ap propriation of $4 5,000 which ought to be sufficient to pay for all necessary work. Of course if there should be a special session of the legislature there would be a lot of extra printing to be done and provision would be made for It. Over at the plant we are rather hoping there will be a special ses sion." Among the men employed about the state printing plant, many of whom have been there for years, the condition is a new one Inasmuch as in the past the work has been done and the next session of the legislature re lied uoon to take care of the deficit. This was especially true under the old rule when the state printer re ceived foes instead of a salary for his work and was anxious to turn out all the work possible. It is likely that there will be a hus banding of supplies in many of the departments such as has never been heard of In the past and that the waste and extravagance of the past will become a thing of the past for the time beinjr at least. The state tax commission has used an immense amount of printing In establishing the office and tho demands of the office for the immediate future are such that a large amount more will be required In transacting the business of the commission.

In addressing the court. Attorney Krum, for the prosecution, said: 'We shall show to you that Lewis devised and put into effect a mail or der banking scheme, advertising in his Woman's Magazine and Woman's Journal inducements to get people to subscribe stock and make deposits and we shall show that he did not carry out those inducements. These publications containing the advertise ments and various additional litera ture and circulars, a!! with the inten tion of inducing people to invest in his scheme, went through the United States mail. Lewis in advertisements at the time said that his publications reached 2,200.000 families. At the time of the organization of this bank, known by various names on Nov. 14. 1904,' this defendant had re ceived $1,085,000 from these families to put into his statement. His adver tisement also stated for every dollar put in by his readers he would put in ne of nis own. All he ever put in was enough to buy two shares of stock and that was because he had to be a stockholder. He told his readers he had a private fortune he would put into the business and he had no prl- ate fortune.. He told has readers in some alluring advertising that the loan board of the bank would be com posed of five directors of the best banks of St. Louis, and it was com posed of Lewis himself and four of his employes in the Lewis Publishing company." The reading of voluminous extracts from the Woman's Magazine and the Woman's Farm Journal consumed to day's session in the trial. PROF. JEBE WILL LEAVE.

Mrs. Jebe who has been connected with the Washburn faculty in the school of fine arts as teacher of dra matic art will continue with the school for a while at least and it is generally understood that she will not sever her connection with the school until Mr. Jebe Is definitely' located in some line of work In Norway. Professor Jebe resigns his" position because he is not altogether satisfied with the conditions at Washburn. The musical atmosphere at Washburn is not as cultivated as he would like to have it and although he has worked hard to bring the standard to a high er level he has been only partially successful as he has not been given the proper support in his efforts. Last year he organized a symphony" or chestra which while it was a splendid musical organization was not appre ciated as much as It should have been. A chorus which he organized did not meet with great success although they MR. HEYMAN NOT THE ONE. Former Topeka Man Has Nothing to Do With Oklahoma Ball Park. The following from President S. C. Heyman of the Oklahoma City base ball team relative to his connection with the holdup tactics employed by the Oklahoma City park management relative to the Thanksgiving game be tween Oklahoma and Washburn, shows that he is In no way connected with the park during the off season in baseball and that he is not respon slble for the tactics which are being employed there at this time. This will be good news to- Mr. Heyman many friends as he is an old Topeka business man having for many years been in charge of the Hub clothing store located until a few years ago at the site of the Smoke House. Mr. Heyman's communication follows: To the Editor of the State Journal: In justice to my many friends in Topeka as well as to myself, will you kindly publish following statement: A few days ago an article appeared in your paper referring to "The Thanksgiving Football Game," also several references to the undersigned in fact I am accused of adopting Tebeau tactics, etc. Now I wan to state plainly that that article as far as tho writer Is concerned Is absolute ly untrue. As president of the Oklahoma ball team, our lease with the Park Co., is for the ball season only and then only applies to the time when "team" is at home. We play on a percentage basis and absolutely have no control over the park at any other time Hence. I could not and did not have anything to say either for or against the football game. This is not the first time I have been misrepresented, but heretofore have permitted it to pass. SEYMOUR HEYMAN. STICKNEY HAS A PLAN. Would Have a National Bank lor Deposit of Treasury Funds. St. Paul, Nov. 7. President A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western Railway company m a pumisnea inter view advocates a: national bank In which the government shall deposit its treasury funds. He saia: "The official reports of the United States treasury shows that on last Thursday, October 31, there was -locked up in the subtreasury idle and useless the enormous sum of $127,170,059 of act ual cash, while all the banks in all the reserve cities of the United States had suspended cash payments and the movement of the crops had stopped and laborers are compelled to accept checks for wages instead of cash, all for want of currency which want of currency the New York banks are trying to relieve by importing about 3u,uuu,uuu ot goia, or about one-quarter of the amount held in the treasury Idle and useless. "Can any system of government banking be conceived which would pro duce more absurd results s "Let us have a national bank which is not only good enough for the people to deposit their money in, but also good enough for the government to de posit its money in.

Another resolution adopted demands stricter penalties upon couples who falsely register as husband and wife. MAY OUST THE OFFICIALS. The Attorney General Thinks Action Against Pittsburg Jolntist Too Slow. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 7.- It is re ported here that within a short time the attorney general will begin ouster proceedings against the officials and the towns in Crawford county for per mitting joints and disreputable places to run. It became known here that agents of the State Temperance union have been working in .all of the incor- ported mining camps of this county for several weeks and it is reported that they have secured the names of every jointist and the keeper of every questionable resort In the county. Pittsburg Is now prohibited from re ceiving fines in lieu of license fees from Jointists, but the small towns surround ing this city have not been enjoined. It is understood that the purpose of the new suits which are expected soon will be to prevent each of the towns from receiving money from the Jolntists. It is supposed that the same methods will be employed In these suits that were used in the ouster proceedings against the city of Pittsburg and Mayor Kirk- wood. FIVE YEARS FOR TYGARD. The Convicted Banker Is 70 Years of Age. Kansas City, Nov. 7. Dr. F. J. Tv- gard, president of the Bates's National bank, of Butler, Mo., when it failed September 20, 1908, was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary by Judge McPherscn in the federal court. The conviction was on the charge of mis applying the funds of the bank. Mr. Tygard is past 70 years old and is practically paralyzed. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was given the minimum sentence. Judge McPherson intimated that if application was made for pardon It might favorably considered on ac count of the prisoner's age and physi cal condition. Make Price's drug store your drug store.

PRESERVE FOR BIRDS. Audubon Society u Obtains a Rocky Place on the Maine Coast. Through the efforts of the Audubon society a perpetual lease was ob tained last year from the state of Maine of a small rocky island to be used as a bird reservation. There lives the only colony of the American elder duck once so plentiful along the coast and now confined to this one point. The birds are under the cnarge or trustworthy warden, who is em ployed by the year. As a result of his personal supervision It is known that tit least 45 young elders were bred there in' the last season:- Doubtless many more were raised, but owing to the dense growth on the island and to the inexpediency of disturbing the nest birds it was impossible to make a complete census Of the new broods. The young reported were seen off the Island with the parent birds.- Such bird reservations are not only useful as protected refuges for breed ing birds, but as .fields to study. Most of the wardens are employed by the Audubon society in various parts pf the country only, during the breeding season, when tne Diras are in colo nies. After this period, tne Diras scat ter,-and there Is no necessity for tne ervice of guards. There are a few exceptions to this rule when guards are employed by the year. In May last year thirteen wardens were em ployed!. Herring, gulls, arctic and common terns, and black guillemots were raised in large numbers, and the birds are becoming surprisingly tame and fearless. Isolated rock Islands along the coast of Maine, such as Great and Lit tle Duck Islands, off Seal Harbor, are often the breeding places of innum erable families of gulls, terns and pet rels. Matinlcus, with' its group of small rock islands standing far out at sea and forming the last dots of terra firma on this side of the Droat Atlantic, seems to be an especially fa vorite resort for these birds. The main island, about 400 acres in size, has a population of 1Z7 souls iniDle fisher-folk, whose hospitality to their rare visitors is as broad as their means are narrow. The cen ter of the island is wooded, and part of it is under cultivation; but even in summer it would be a bleak spot at best were it not for the birds. If the Inhabitants are few tne bird population is enormous. The ap proach of a yacht in the waters of Matinicus Is an event to both men and birds, as the regular boat touches there only twice a week. As one ap proaches from the sea the rocks are seen to be covered witn some strange whitf and erray coating, which at closer range shows signs of animation, and which at the sound of the steam whistle proves to be composed of hun dreds of gulls, terns, and other sea birds, young and old, wnion take flight as' the yacht casts anchor. Taught by experience, they soar around the boat, with a great flapping of wings, all incessantly chattering for food. It Is difficult to estimate the num ber of the gull and tern colonies at the present time. In a few years, during which protection has been Ex tended to them, they have increased enormously. The last report of the Audubon society, for 1906, gives as a conservative estimate for that year 0.000 young birds. A most effective check to overproduction along the coast, .however, Is put by the spring storm tides, which sometimes sweep away thousands of young birds or un- hatctied eggs. The terns, or sea swallows, add a requisite touch of life to their sur roundings. Many years of uninter rupted slaughter among these beauti ful creatures for millinery purposes, destroyed them all except In a few localities. Until 1884 thousands were bred on the Long Island enores. Pro tective laws, however, are having a good effect, and young ones are be ginning to reappear. New York Times. Fire Losses for October. New York. Nov. 7. The losses' by fire in the United States and Canada, during the month of October, as com piled bv the Journal of Commerce, developed from this design by using velvet which extends around tne en aggregate $13, 350, 250, or about half a million less than was charged against the same month of last year. The to tal losses by fire the first 10 months of 1907, reach the sum of $180,765,300, as compared with $424,460,200 for the same period in 1906, but of that sum San Francisco was responsible for $280,000,000. PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS. Money Invested in Y. M. C. A. Work in Panama Comes Back. Chicago, Nov. 7. Money invested In the work of the Young Men s Christian association in Panama has brought large returns, according to A. Bruce Mlnear, a general secretary of the or ganization, who visited Chicago yester day, Mr. Minear will report to President Roosevelt that the $150,000 which has been spent has brought 25 per cent more returns than any similar sums expend ed there. Four club houses valued at $140,000 have been erected and it is expected four additional houses will be built, There is now a membership of 1.700. though the buildings have only been open nve montns. "I took up the work at the suggestion of President Roosevelt and Secretary Tatt," said Mr. Minear. "The saloon keepers have said that the Y. M. C. A. has cut into their business 50 per cent. TAKE LITTLE CHECKS NOW Situation in Banking Circles Gradually Loosening TTp. It is evident that the Kansas City banks have more money than they had a few days ago. The Topeka banks were notified by the Kansas uny do dks tnis morning that they would accept for collection the small checks on adjoining territory which they have refused during the past few days. it was considerable of a nutsance for the banks to collect these little checks personally. Within a few days the Bank of Topeka alone col lected on small checks by mail from 242 separate banks. The change of neart experienced by the Kansas City banks has relieved the banks of this small business, but otherwise the sit uation seems unchanged. STEVE ADAMS ON TRIAL Taking of Testimony in Tyler Murder Case Begins. Rathdrum, Idaho, Nov. 7. The taking of testimony in the trial of Steve Ad ams for murder of Fred Tyler about August 10, 1904, has begun.

Letters written by both Fred Tyler and Mrs. Thomas were admitted in evidence Bhowing the man and his mother were In correspondence up to July 15, 1904. An other letter later by Mrs. Thomas was also introduced. She said she did not send the letter for the reason that Fred had disappeared and she did not know where to send It. Mrs. Thomas was per mitted to read her testimony taken at the previous trial and was asked as to certain points in it. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Nov. 7. WHEAT The wheat market today opened weak because of lower cables from Liverpool which were based on an Increase In its rates of dis count by the Bank of England.

Salina has reached the liquor destroying stage In its fight against joints. -The mayor, D. W. Hills, with police officers held a "tea party" at the mouth of the cellar under the city hall. One hundred and 17 boxes were loaded onto drays. A fine array of "little brown .Jugs" and-a very heavy barrel, all con taining whisky or beer were brought from the cellar, and were emptied.

The readers of this paper will be pleas ed to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all Its stages, and that is ca tarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fra ternity. Catarrh being' a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Core is taken ln ternallv, acting directly -upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, there by 'destroying the foundation of the dis ease and giving the patient strength by building np the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Caruso thought he had discovered the real get-rlch-quick system when the Me tropolitan Opera company paid him 2,750 for one appearance. Calve has lust received a bid for her talents, however, which more than discounts the 'big Italian tenor's bonanza, the Metropolitan Opera company per forming in Chicago- havfng- offered Mme. Calve $10,000 for starring in ,,V. Mme. Calve. three performances of "Carmen," the operatic role which made her famous and which -she made famous. The $3,333 a nfght looked good to the French diva, but her manager said she couldn't cancel her concert dates which conflicted. For this reason Calve continues to satisfy herself with a paltry $2,000 a concert, having been forced to decline the largest offer made to a singer in history. She will appear in this city Saturday night. FIFTY SHOTS FIRED. Robbers Get Away With Bank Funds and Nobody Hurt. Oklahoma City, Nov. 7.

With Washburn at Manhattan and Nebraska at Lawrence, Topeka people have 8' choice r of two mighty good football games to attend Saturday afternoon.

The plumbers' strike didn't last long as the plumbers surrendered to the demand for $4 a day. Johnson Beck were not involved as they al ready paid that price.

For those who wish to stay the Aggies have arranged a dance which will take place Saturday evening. The automatic switch on the street railway tracks at the corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue does not work right on all occasions and it would seem that at some time there Is liable to be a bad collision because of this fact as there is' generally a congestion of cars at this point going in a va riety of directions. There's great joy among the Oak landites and other Interested in por tions of that community.

Differing from kindred sporting Events elsewhere, a stag hunt In France com mences with fhe ceremony of blessing the chase. It is performed by priests robed in full vestments. This Is splend idly revealed in Lyman H. Howe's new programme to be shown at the Grand an Saturday afternoon and evening. After the ceremony the hounds and riders disperse to the place appointed for the hunt. The quarry, a noble stag is seen by the side of a lake, alert, sniffing danger. He takes to water on the ap proach of the pack, and manages tor a time to throw the hounds off scent. Ul timately he is discovered, and an ex citing scene is witnessed as the stag turns this way and that, to elude his pursuers, stretched in a long string in his wake. Eventually the stag Is over taken and mercifully dispatched by a bullet; when his body is towed ashore and the hounds receive their reward. Lovely scenes of wood and copse, lane and lake, park and country mansions are afforded by this exquisite series, but the culminating point is reached by the presentation at the end of the day, of the hounds in -their kennels, intelli gent, docile,' clever- pictures of perfect canine, fitness nd beauty. The lake scenes superb and the stag and hounds following, present an exquisite and fascinating spectacle. Another fea ture f the programme will appeal' par ticularly to ladies, and In fact to men as well, because of its beauty and con trasts. .-It- portrays ladies' costumes of all ages from the Roman period down to the present day.
