EVERYBODY 12 PAGES 09 Jut EVERYBODY 12 PAGES NEEDS IT. READS IT. LAST EDITION. MAY PASS BOTH. House Likely to Adopt Two Guarantee Deposit Bills. An Insurance Plan for the National Banks. BUT LITTLE PROGRESS Much Talk Wasted In Discussing the Question. Believed That Royce Measure Will Be Passed. Indications are that the house of rep resentatives is getting itself in the proper frame of mind to pass not one bank deposit guarantee bill, but two. There is a strong sentiment in the house In favor of the bank deposit guarantee plan proposed by Bank Com missloner John Q. Royce, and a bill embodying Royce's plan is likely to pass. At the same time, the house may meet the demands of the national anks for protection by passing the VVaeeener-Ham bill authorizing the formation o a private corporation to Insure bank deposits. Thp two m-ODOsitions do not conflict. and the national bankers insist that the Waggener-Ham bill must be passed be cause the comptroller will not allow national banks to participate in the state deposit guarantee plan. The house put in nearly the whole morning session listening to the presen tation nf the national bankers' side of the case- This afternoon each one of the bills is being given a lu-rainuw hearing. The following are the guaran tee deposit bills under consideration: House bill No. 11, the deposit insur ance bill, by B. P. Waggener, intro duced by W. B. Ham. House bill No. 13, guarantee deposit bill, by Fred H. Quincy, introduced by W. Y. Morgan. House bill No. 7, guarantee deposit bill, by C. L. Davidson. House bill No. 19, guarantee deposit bill, known as "Petherbrldge bill," in troduced by D. V. Umholtz- House bill No. 123, requiring banks to give the state a bond for the protec tion of deposits, by W. B. Ham, Intro duced by William Wells. House bill No. known as the Royce bill, not introduced, but sub mitted for information of members. House bill No. known as the Haskins bill, not introduced but sub mitted for information of members. At this morning's session, J. "W. Berryman took the floor in defense of the insurance bill, known as No. 111. This is the bill which the committee on banks and banking favorably re ported. For an hour Mr. Berryman was kept busy answering questions, and explaining away objections to the No. Ill bill. This afternoon it is expected that Bank Commissioner John Q. Royce will be given an opportunity to come before the house and explain his bill. Only one vote was taken this morn ing which indicated In any way how the house will line up. This waa on a motion of Stannard of Lyon county after Mr. Berryman had finished hia presentation of No. Ill bill that the house give each of the other bills re jected by the committee a hearing. Mr. Berryman objected to this, and eald the house should go ahead and pass the insurance bill. The house, however, wanted to hear the other bills, and passed Stannard's motion .by a vote of 64 to 20. Mr. Berryman opened the bank de posit guarantee discussion by moving that the house take up house bill 111, which is the insurance plan proposed by the bankers. Mr. Berryman said: "National banks can not come in under the guarantee deposit plan, so it is absolutely necessary to pass an insurance bill for national banks, whether we pass one of the other bills or not." W. R. Stubbs thought there was no I reason why the legislature should not pass both the insurance bill and the leposit guarantee bill. C. A. Stannard said he had no ob jection to the insurance bill for the national bankers but thought it would be a good plan to have the deposit guarantee plan for state banks. "There Is a disposition here,"' said Mr. Stannard, "to force this Insurance plan down our throats, and possibly to let the deposit guarantee plan go." W. Y. Morgan moved that the Ham bill for deposit insurance be read first, and that afterwards each of the other bills be explained by the auth ors. E. A. Enright, who is backing the "mysterious stranger" bill prepared by John Q. Royce, state bank com missioner, wanted to have his bill read. Royce's bill has never been In troduced, but has simply been printed for the information of the members. The house appointed a committee this morning to sift all local bills out of the calendar, and put them in one big om nibus. By this means the house can dispose of all its local bills at one bite. Xr. Brierley's resolution to take final adjournment at 3 p. m. Saturday came ud this morning. JHoldren of Mont gomery moved to strike out that part of the resolution saying that the legis lature should adjourn "and go home.' "Some of us" said Holdren "may not want to go home." "I guess that's right," said a prom inent memDer. W. W. Padgett moved to lay the res olution on the table. The vote was close and a roll call was demanded. The vote was 63 in favor of laying on the table and tl against, and thus died Dr. Brierley's resolution. After reading the insurance bill through, J. W. Berryman of Clark was called upon to explain the plan which the bankers favor. "There are two kinds of insurance o-called old line and mutual. Old line provides for the payment of a definite premium ana a. umu on namiity. That is tne pian oi aeposn insurance recom mended by the committee. The plan of guarantee deposit fund is an unlim ited liability on the banks, and will be a source of weakness rather than strength. The only way a national bank can participate in such a plan is bv a limited liability, by a deflate policy or contract. This plan will come nearer preventing name iaiiures than anything FRIDAY EVENING. of the kind. The company insuring a bank would get behind that bank and prevent its failure. C A. Stannard said that he thought the insurance plan would be useless without a state guarantee bank die posit fund. He moved to take up the state guarantee fund bill and consider It. "I believe," he said "that nothing would ever be done under this insur ance law unless we have a. guarantee deposit law. I do not oppose the in surance bill but I want the otheT one first." "It is very doubtful," said W. R. Stubbs, "whether the national banks could take advantage of a state guarantee fund law." Mr. Berryman thought it would be best to finish up the consideration of the insurance bill before going to the other bill. "Will you favor the general proposi tion of a guarantee deposit bill if we pass this insurance bill?" asked Rob ert Stone of Berryman. "I'd want to see the bill," said Mr. Berryman. "I mean the general proposition," said Stone. "I am not ready to say what I'd do," said Berryman. The motion to take up the con sideration of the other bills was passed on standing vote, 64 to 20. The committee then rose to adjourn for dinner. The committee on banks and banking made a favorable report on the Ham bill, and all the other bills were, by that committee, sent to the scrap heap. But the house wouldn't stand for that and ordered that all the bills be printed and placed on the calendar. The following is the report of the banking committee: "Your committee on banking have had under consideration the various bills referred to It respecting the guar anteeing, or insuring, of the deposits of the banks of the state, and beg leave to report that, 'in the judgment of the committee, it is unwise to enact a guar anty deposit law at this session of the legislature for the following reasons: "First That the impression appears to prevail among the people that the state itself has power to guarantee de posits in state banks, and quite gen erally that they may guarantee also the deposits in national banks. We are convinced that the state has no power of this kind and could not constitution allv engage in the business of guaran teeing the obligations of banks to their depositors. The best tnat couia De aone would be to provide means whereby state banks themselves might provide a fund to be used for paying the losses or depositors occasioned by the failure of some of them. "Second Your committee has decided that the state banks only could parti cipate in any such arrangement and that the national banks would be ex cluded entirely therefrom, even as vol untary participants. 'Third The national banks hold as much as one-half of the deposits of the state. Their stockholders are prac tically all residents of the state. They oav taxes in the state, and we feel that any provision that this legislature might make for the guaranteeing ot deposits should be such that all the banks of the state could participate In alike. "Fourth The only plan which your committee considers available is that of bank insurance, through a company having ample capital and provisions for creating an ample surplus to pro vide a fund of sufficient magnitude to insure the deposits in all banks volun tarily availing themselves of its pro- tection. "This plan would enable every bank. whose condition justified the company in accepting the risk, to particpate in its protection. "We believe that such a company could be organized in the state of Kan sas speedily, which could provide as large a fund as would be practical un der any plan for the protection of bank depositors, as any that could be de vised. "Upon the principle of insurance each bank participating would be paj lng a consideration for the protecljon of its own depositors, and the premium so paid, having been fully earned by the company Insuring the depositors, could be justly and equitably used in paying, the losses to depositors occa sioned by the failure of any participat ing bank. Fifth Tour committee is of the. opinion, further, that the capable. honest ana emcient management of the banks of the state should be left free to enjoy the rewards of their labors. That a guarantee proposition which proposes to tax the efficiently and hon estly, managed banks to pay the losses occasioned by Inefficient, dishonest and reckless management would have a tendency to brlnff down to the level the poorer class of banks, instead of raising the poorer class to a higher standard. "We realize that the individuality of the management of every business concern Is the surest guarantee of suc cess. That a guarantee plan would have a tendency to weaken the feelings or responsibility that every banker must possess. Therefore, your committee desires to report back house bill No. Ill, with the recommendation that it bo passed." PERALTA GRANT AGAIN.

WINTER AT LAST. It Opens a New York Engage ment With a Blizzard. Poorer Classes Were Taken Completely by Surprise. MAN FROZE TO DEATH. In His Accustomed Lodging Un der a Stoop. Trarelltf ill Kinds Is Bady Hampered. New York, Jan. 24. A .snowstorm which swept over the city late yester day developed into a little blizard dur ing last night. Today the streets were piled deep in places with drifts and street car traffic and the movement of river craft were badly hampered. Com ing suddenly on the heels of a long period of unusually warm weather, the storm caught the homeless and the poorer people of the east side totally unprepared. Many who had found shelter in wagon yards for the night were driven out and there was a rush of the homeless to charitable institu tions for shelter. For the first time this winter the city lodging house was over crowded and the covered pier of the charities department at the foot of East Twenty-sixth street was turned into an emergency lodging house. Several hundred men were given work clearing the streets of snow. The body of a man named James Smith was found under a stoop in East Twenty-third street into which he had crept for protection and had frozen to death. In Brooklyn nearly every line of travel was blocked, and In some cases no attempt was made to move the cars. A 40 minute blockade on Brook lyn bridge added much to the discom fort and delay of the passengers bound for Manhattan. At Sandy Hook this forenoon a north west gale was blowing and the swirling snow made navigation hazardous. The steamer Graf Waldersee which reached the Hook last night, was still at anchor thi3 forenoon; also the Adriatic from Southampton and the President Lincoln from Hamburg. Other steamers due to day include the Friedrich der Grosse from Genoa and the Astoria from Glas gow. Retail coal dealers today advanced the price of the domestic sizes coal 50 cents per ton, the increased price to re main in force until traffic conditions become normal again. It was an nounced that the increase was made to cover the additional cost of delivery. Six Inches of Snow. Philadelphia, Jan. 24. In Pennsyl vania," New Jersey and Delaware snow which began falling last evening had this morning reacned a depth of six inches and the storm continued through the day. A high wind pre vails. The storm is worst in New Jer sey, where the railway traffic is badly crippled. Telegraph, telephone and railway service in southern New Jersey is paralyzed by the storm. No wire communication was had with Atlantic City and the electric trains of the Pennsylvania railway due to arrive from the sea shore at midnight, and during the early morning hours, had not reported at noon today, owing to broken wires. On the Reading rail way lines traffic was tied up below Winslow Junction, N. J., and the Cape May branch is snowed up from Mill ville. Seashore trains on the Pennsylvania lines operated by steam are also tied up. Most of the trouble is caused by telegTaph poles being across the rail way and electric tracks. Drop of 15 Degrees. Boston, Jan. 24. Southeastern New England is experiencing a northeast snow storm today. The thermometer dropped 15 dtegrees last night. The wind at Brenton'g Reef, blew 60 to 70 miles an hour. The steamer Prov ince of the Fall river line, due at New port at 2:30 a. m., landed her pas sengers at New London at 8 a. m. Steamer Went Aground. Nerw York, Jan. 24. The steamer John StaTin of the Starin line, plying between New York and. New Haven, went ashore at Willets Point, while entering the East river this morning en route from New York to this city. The pilot of the steamer was unable to locate the light on Throgg's Neck at the entrance of the East river in the storm this morning. She drifted into a bay between Willefs Point and White Stone and finally grounded very close to the shore. The tide was unusually high and when it receded It left the steamer so high and dry that the six passengers, aboard walked ash ore. CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY. New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtainable In Small Quantities. Since its discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin af flictions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of ecezma patients in large jars sufficient for a month's treatment. This was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc., which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in re sponse to urgent appeals, the dispen sers of poslam have been obliged to adopt. In addition to the regular two dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Snow's and other leading drug stores, or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories. No. 32 West 2 5th street. New York city. la all eczema cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immediately: chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious sk'n troubles, results are seen after an overnight application. Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge by writing to the laboratories for them Adv. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY 0MAHA MAV0R LED 0UT He Refused to Respect the Ruling of the Chairman. Sioux City. Ia., Jan. 24. Mayor James C. Dahlman of Omaha was led from the hall by the sergeant-at-arm3 of the waterways congress at its final session Thursday evening at the re quest of Governor Burke of. North Dakota, who was acting chairman of the congress. The mayor rose in his seat to talk on the motion to adopt the report of the committee on or ganization. His attitude was unsatis factory to several delegates who de clared Mayor Dahlman was out of order, because he was trying to inject politics into the congress. There were several cries of "Put him out," and Chairman Burke finally called the sergeant-at-arms who led the mayor from the hall. The mayor's declaration that "You will have to go down to Washington and see Uncle Joe Cannon and Allison about that report," started the trouble. "Sit down!" shoutel a delegate. "No, I'll not sit down," replied the mayor. "I want to tell you "He's out of order; he's out of or der," some one else called. This cross-fire was about to precipi tate more trouble, when the chairman ruled Dahlman out of order. The mayor refused to accept the ruling and held his ground. Governor Burke called for the floor officer, who took the mayor by the arm, pushing him into the aisle. After some argument Dahlman left the floor in company with' the sergeant-at-arms and re mained in the rear of the hall. CENSORED DISPATCH. Says There Is No Fnrther Trouble in Portugal. Lisbon, Jan. 24. The transmission of the following dispatch was per mitted by the authorities after due censorship: "Lisbon is filled today with disturb ing rumors, but there have been no new developments in the abortive at tempt of two nights ago, to overthrow the monarchy and proclaim Portugal a republic. The police have visited all the newspaper offices and forbid den the publication of anything con cerning the arrests yesterday and the day before." Dr. Lopes Escapee. London, Jan. 24. A dispatch has been received here from Lisbon, say ing that Dr. Farmano Lopez, who was connected with the recent conspiracy to blow up Premier Franco with a bomb, made a daring escape today from the San Julia prison, a strong fortress at the mouth of the. Tagus river. Because of the high social position of Dr. Lopez permission was given a party of his friends to visit him in prison. This party went to the fortress in a motor car. As the automobile drove in front of tle prison a terrifflc explosion was heard,The commander of the prison after a. brief investigation ordered that the party be detained and guards were placed around the fortress. A further examination was then made but no explanation of the explosion could be found. The visi tors were then allowed to depart in their motor car.' It was learned later that during the confusion following the explosion some one had tossed keys to Dr. Lopez through the grating of the window of his cell. With these he unlocked the door and Joined his friends. He is supposed to have gone away in the motor car disguised with heavy rimmed motor glasses and a big coat. The entire staff of the fortress, in cluding the commander, has been arrested on suspicion of accepting a bribe to permit the escape of the prisoner and a reward has been of fered for the re-arrest of Dr. Lopez. SORT OUT CHILDREN. And Force Them by Law Into Certain Trades Says President Eliot. Chicago, Jan. 24. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard university, advocated last night In a public ad dress that American boys and girls be "sorted" out by agents of authority, teachers perhaps, and forced by law to study steady trades assigned to them. Dr. Eliot's ideas caused a sen sation at the banquet of the National Society for the Promotion of Indus trial Education, held at the auditor ium. Here is what Dr. Eliot said: "I assert that it is perfectly proper to enact laws which will give the teachers the authority to sort out the boys and girls, assign to each the trade at which he or she seems best adapt ed and the law should then compel these children to be trained for these trades. "This sentiment, I see, has already impressed some of you as being un democratic. I think it is not so. De mocracy Is based on a theory that all men are equal. All men are not equal and can not be; men of practical minds have long ago set aside" this idea." FORGER IS CAUGHT. He Raised a Draft From $3 to $15, 000 and Cashed It. Chicago, Jan. 24. Word was received today by the Pinkerton Detective Agency of the arrest by one of their men near Jacksonville, Fla.. of Turie Nordstrom, who is wanted here for tho passing of a forged check for $15,000 on the First National bank of this city. Nordstrom was a bank clerk in As toria, Ore., and coming here with a draft for $3 from the First National bank of Astoria, he raised the amount to $15,000 and after obtaining part of this sum in cash from the First Na tional bank of Chicago and the remain der in drafts, he converted them into London drafts and a letter of credit, at the National Bank of the Republic of this city. He was arrested while cruising on a small yacht that he had purchased at Brunswick. Ga. He has admitted his identity and confessed to the forgery. An officer will be sent to-, day to bring him to Chicago for prose cution, f Last Scrip Cancelled. Boston, Jan. 24. The last of the clearing house certificates issued by the Boston banks during the financial stringency last fall, were cancelled today. 24, 1908. GET HARDKNOGKS Senate Breaks Out In a New Place. Members Rap the Railroad At torneys Sharply. OVER A SMALL MATTER Afterward Measure Is Passed With Little Change. Young Primary Bill Finally Passes the Senate. "For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" the yellow brother no longer enjoys a monopoly of the title to "peculiarity," which "honors" the railroad attorney seems to divide more than equally with "John." This was, at least, the talent conceded to him in the senate, not only by other lawyers, but by his fellow railroad at torneys who represent the great cor porations in the smaller cities and more remote districts of Kansas. A bill so short that it appeared too insignificant to bear discussion stirred up a red hot debate in committee of the whole on the eve of adjournment last night. It was designed to give the district judges, within their respective districts, power In vacation or at chambers to deter mine motions to vacate and modify in junctions, discharge attachments, va cate orders of arrest, pass upon and decide demurrers, motions to strike out from pleadings, to strike pleadings from the files, to make pleadings more defi nite and certain, to separately state and number causes of action, for leave to file pleadings, and all other matters necessary or proper for making up the Issues in any case, and to grant or va cate all necessary interlocutory orders, and to punish for contempt in open court or at chambers, by fine, not to ex ceed one hundred dollars, and imprison ment, or either, and to assign not ex ceeding one attorney to prisoners who may be unable to employ counsel. It was introduced by Senator Smith, and is officially designated as S. B. No. 48. There are nine counties in Smith's district out in the short grass country and the adjoining districts are laid out on an equally liberal scale. There are two of these judicial districts in his senatorial district and he made a bra ire fight for the relief of litigants living in a majority of the counties, far from the railroads, both as to trouble and ex pense, explaining the situation at great length. Immediately all the lawyers in the senate and they are not a few, leaped into the arena to give battle for or against the measure, and between them convinced the layman that jus tice comes high and is slow in coming at all. Railroad attorneys came in for a dark brown roast from all belonging to the fraternity, including "resident attorneys" for railroads in the smaller cities. It was shown that delays, in some of a year, in others longer, often elapse after the filing of a petition be fore the case reaches a trial and Noftz ger frankly admitted that "delays of thi3 kind amount to a denial of justice." Getty said that if an action was com menced in which the ten command ments were the basis of the suit, "a railroad attorney would move to have it made more definite and certain," and a score of similar charges were alleged against corporation counsel. At the end of an hour's cross-firing. Smith accepted an amendment by Wag gener to the legal phraseology and his bill was sent back to the senate with the recommendation that it pass as amended. This concluded an exceed ingly busy day in committee of the whole. An important step was taken in the direction of direct primary legislation when the senate agreed to call a halt 1 x, Mcf nf lt work on eeneral ill LUG kuiuo orders and take up the Stubbs bill pass ed by the house, mis move came aiwui when Senator Fltzpatrick moved late i it., oftarnnnn that the committee of the whole rise, make its report and proceed to the consideration of the house measure. Inasmuch as each of the legislative bodies has passed a law framed in ac cordance with its views, he said, it is now all important that they go to the conference committees as soon as pos sible. There is no way to accomplish this end without either the house tak ing up the senate bill, or the senate taking up the house bill and acting upon it. It was rumored that the house would not take up the senate bill and the senate should therefore take up the Stubbs measure and dispose of it so that it might go to conference as soon as committees can be appointed. If immediate action is not taken there is hardly a chance of getting a start on conference this week, while prompt action by the senate might result in getting to it this week. The committee of the whole then agreed to rise and, -its report having been adopted, Fltzpatrick moved that the senate pass to the consideration of house bill No. 18, which had been messaged over, but for which there were no printed copies, .ah cuicibc cy was declared and the bill was read a second and third time under suspen sion of the rules. Getty and Fitzpatrick again urged that there should be no delay in action, that it was not a question of policy but of the most expeditious method of getting together. Two days had been spent in the consideration of the sen ate primary bill, which was threshed over as to every possible phase and the only thing remaining to do was to substitute the points upon which there was a difference, from the senate bill to the house bill. The lobby, which had been disposed to be noisy, was warned to be quiet or it mis-ht be necessary to retire and Senator Fitzpatrick having moved that all of house bill No. 18 after the end of section 1 be stricken from the bill and the provisions of the Caldwell bill as adopted by the senate Wednesday, substituted therefor, the substitute was read and roll call ordered, which show ed the adoption of the amendment by a vote of 27 to 16. The bill was then called on the pass age of the bill as amended. The re sult: AyesBenson, Betts, Brewer, Bus chow, Caldwell, Carver.

Senator Brewer said: "It is my desire to vote and assist in making a direct primary law which will give every voter in the state of Kan sas the right to vote direct for the can didates of his party from United States senator down to the lowest office upon the ticket. Some of the provisions In this Stubbs bill I prefer to those in the Young bill. There are some in the Young bill that I prefer to those in the Stubbs bilL These details can be ad justed and Ironed out in a conference committee and a speedy agreement, I believe, reached that will be satisfac tory to both branches and when that agreement is reached, I will vote to confirm the report, and I now, there fore, vote aye." A bill that is likely to give rise to some heart burning and sharp criti cism among the medical fraternity, introduced by Senator Huffman, was recommended to the senate for pas sage by the committee of the whole after striking out the penalty clause. This was a bill amending the law creating the state board of registration and examination and regulating the practice of medicine, surgery and osteopathy In the state of Kansas. That portion of the bill which re mains and in which "practicing" is defined is as follows: "Any person shall be regarded as practicing medicine and surgery with in the meaning of this act, who shall prescribe, or who shall recommend for a fee, for like use, any drug or medicine, or perform any surgical operation of whatsoever nature, for the cure or relief of any wounds, frac ture or bodily injury, infirmity or disease of another person, or who shall use the words or letters, 'Dr.' 'doctor,' 'M. D.' or any other title in connection with his name which in any way represents him as engaged in the practice of medicine or surgery, or any person attempting to treat the sick or others afflicted with bodily or mental Infirmities, or any person rep resenting or advertising himself by any means or through any medium whatsoever, or in any manner what soever, so as to indicate he Is author ized to or does practice medicine or surgery in this state, or that he is authorized to or does treat the sick or other afflicted with bodily In firmities, but nothing in this act shall be construed as interfering with any religious beliefs in the treatment of diseases, provided that quarantine regulations relating to contagious dis eases are not infringed upon. All persons who practice osteopathy shall be registered and licensed as doctors of osteopathy, as hereinbefore pro vided, but they shall not administer drugs or medicines of any kind nor perform operations in surgery. "This act hall not apply to any commissioned medical officer of the United States army, navy ,or marine service in the discharge of his official duties; not to any legally qualified dentist, when engaged in the legiti mate practice' of his profession; nor to any physician or surgeon who Is called from another state or territory In consultation with a licensed physi cian of this state, or to treat a par ticular case in conjunction with a licensed practitioner of this state, and who does not otherwise practice in the state. Nor shall anything in this act apply to the administration of domestic medicines, nor to prohibit gratuitous services; provided, any person holding a diploma issued by an optical college, and who has studied the anatomy of the eye and contiguous parts, human physiology and natural philosophy for at least six months under a competent teacher, and who shall pass examination satisfactory to the state board of medical registra tion and examination, shall be eligible to register as an optician or doctor of optics, and shall be otherwise gov erned by this act so far as the same is applicable." Senate bill No. 65, by the committee on assessment and taxation, amending section 12 of article 3 of chapter 2, gen eral statutes of 1901. This bill provides that no person Ehall be required to in clude in the list of personal property any portion of the capital stock of any company or corporation which is re quired to be listed by such company or corporation; but all incorporated com panies, except such companies and cor porations as are specially provided for by statute, shall be required to list by their designated agent, in the township or state where the principal office of said company is kept, the full amount of stock paid in and remaining as cap ital stock at its true value in money, and such stock shall be taxed as other personal property; provided, that such amount of stock of such companies as may be invested In real or personal property in the state of Kansas, which at the time of listing said capital stock shall be particularly specified and given to the assessors for taxation, shall be deducted from the amount of said cap ital stock. Referred to committee on taxation. Senate bill No. 66. by committee on assessment and taxation, provides for the assessment and valuation for pur poses of taxation of telephone com panies, oil pipe line companies and gas nine iin comoanies which are local in their character and confined to the limits of a single county. The tax com mission is constituted a board of ap praisers and Is required to meet an nually on the second Monday in April to assess the property of telegraph, telephone and pipe line companies; it is to be guided by the value of other per sonal property In the state, but lines located entirely within the limits of a single county, except telegraph lines, are to be assessed by the county asses sor, between the 1st and 31st of March. The owners or managing officers of such lines are required to furnish the county assessor with a statement cov ering "certain facts, including the value of their stock, miles of line in each township and school district, gross re ceipts for the year ending January-1, etc. Amended and referred to commit tee on taxation.

Of the 700 In Attendance Only a Few Were Injured. Portland, Me., Jan. 24. A fire which caused property damage of $1,000,000 early today, destroyed the city hall and police buildings and endangered the lives of more than 700 persons. Al though known as city hall, the building was divided between city and county offices, while the police building shel tered the supreme. Judicial and munici pal courts in addition to the police de partment. The fire was the worst in the state since the great Portland conflagration of 1866, when the city's business and residential sections were almost com pletely, wiped out. 1 There were more than 700 persons at tending the Western Maine Knights of Pythias jubilee gathered in the auditor, ium of the city halt Only a few per sons were hurt. Chief Engineer Melville Eldredge being the only one seriously hurt and he was able to direct the fight' against the flames throughout, being supported by two assistants. The finan cial loss, estimated at $1,000,000, will not cover the loss of the papers and docu ments in the registry of deeds, where everything was destroyed. 1 Other departments were swept clear of everything by the flames, with the exception of the city clerk's and. the city treasurer's offices, the money and securities in the latter being believed to be intact, although it will be almost impossible to ascertain definitely until the vaults have cooled sufficiently for an examination to be made. One of the most valuable libraries in the state, the Greenleaf law collection, was complete, ly destroyed, with a loss estimated at $100,000. Caused by Crossed Wires. The blaze originated in the city elec trician's office and was caused by cross ed wires, and this made it impossible to ring a call for the fire department in any of the boxes. The fire was discovered by a newspa per man on his way home, who noticed a red glare as he was passing the city engineer's office. He tried to pull an alarm from a nearby box, stationed outside a lire station. The signal rang the station alarm and brought the fire men from that house to the scene, but they, and a few others who were sum moned by telephone constituted the whole fire fighting force for half an hour, during which time the flames gained such headway as to beoome un controllable. When Chief Engineer Lldrldge arrived he gave up all hopes of saving the building and confined the efforts of the department to protecting surrounding property. When the flames were discovered William A. Turner, chairman of the meeting of the Pythian body was met' in the hallway by three men who ac quainted him with the condition of affairs. He coolly entered the auditor ium and ascended the stage, interrupt ing the rites of investure which were going on at that time. He calmly told the assembled members of the existing conditions and thus averted a panic, bringing out more than 700 persons uninjured. Earlier in the evening there had been more than 1,500 people in the auditorium, for the Jubilee exercises and had the fire occurred then, packed as the hall was, many lives might have been lost. Chief Engineer Eldredge sustained his Injuries by the breaking away of a coupling of hose which hit him in the stomach. When the flames climbed to the police building, where the county jail is located, the prisoners were set free. They had been arrested for only minor offenses. The building which was a five story structure of brick, burned up and down from the third floor as did the hall. Aid was summoned from Bath, Bidde ford, Saco and Lewiston, but the lat ter was the only city to get its ap paratus in the city before daybreak. When It arrived it was too late to take any active part in the fight against the flames. The city hall survived the great fire of 1866, although it was badly dam aged at that time. It was first opened in 1859. The building had a frontage of 150 feet and was 250 feet long. Its central dome rose 150 feet above the roof. The building was constructed of colored Nova Ecotia Albert stone and contained 80 rooms. THAW TRIAL HALTS. Adjourned Until Monday to Wait for European Witnesses. New York. Jan. 24. The Thaw trial has been adjourned until Mon day on account of non-arrival of wit nesses for the defense. The actions and mental and physi cal condition- of Harry K. Thaw at various times when he was in Europe will be detailed by physicians who are being brought across the Atlantic for the purpose. It was hoped that the Adriatic, on which these witnesses came from Europe, would reach port yesterday but before court adjourned yesterday it was reported that she would not reach her dock until today. These witnesses are expected to add to the mass of testimony which the de fense has Introduced in its attempt to. prove that Thaw was for years irra tional and by which they hope to show that when Thaw fired the shots whioh caused the death of Stanford White he was mentally unsound. The hypothe tical question based on all of .the evi dence of the trial will be put to these witnesses and then the prosecution will have an opportunity for cross-examination. How long this will take is not known. Weather Indications. Chicago, Jan. 24. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and Satur day; warmer tonight.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY 133 TRICK 0NM0RAN Manager Harrey Thinks the Scales Were Tampered With Just Before Owen Was Weighed for the Attell Bout. OFFICIAL EOT BLAMED Club Had No Guards So the Act Was Possible. On Other Scales That Day He Weighed Under 120. New York, Jan. 24. "I have discover ed what I consider positive proof that somebody tampered with the scales on which Owen Moran was weighed at Colma Just before his battle with At tell." said Charles Harvey this morn ing. "I am sure we were 'Jobbed,' al though I don't attach any blame to the officials of the club." Harvey says when Moran left his training quarters on the morning of the fight he weighed on five different scales, all of which showed him to be under 130. founds A few hours later on the club scales at Colma he was over -weight "He couldn't have taken on weight in that short time," declared Harvey, "and .1 am dead sore over losing the piece of forfeit money. If Attell was entitled to anything he was entitled to $1,600, but he didn't want to make it that It wasn't the money he cared for so much as the opportunity to make Moran get out on the road and tire himself out Just before the fight. When a boxer is trained as finely as Moran was it is a hard matter to take off even an ounce at the last minute. At tell knew this and he undoubtedly kept Moran from going into the ring in good condition, insisting on his ounce of flesh. "I haven't a word of criticism for Jimmy Coffroth or any of the club offi cials, but I have done some investigat ing and am convinced that we were the victims of trickery. The California pporting writers hinted at a crooked deal at the time and I have recently written them of my suspicions. "I understand that the club had no watchman and that there was nobody in the room whre the scales were kept the night before the fight. I am posi tive that some one acting for the At tell Interests Jimmied his way into that room and tampered with the scales just enough to make them an ounce or bo out of the way. At our training quarters the morning of the fight Moran weighed a little over 1W4 pounds on five scales. They couldn't all have been wrong." Racine a New Orleans. New Orleans, Jan. 24.

S s s FOR o RHEUMATISM Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste have failed to carry off This waste or refuse matter ferments and sours and generates uric acid which i3 absorbed into the blood ana distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism, with its torturing pains and aches, inflammation and other disagreeable symptoms, gets pos session of the system. The aches and pains may be relieved and the inflam mation temporarily reduced by the application of a good plaster, penetrating liniment or some other simple home remedy, but the disease can never be cured while the blood remains saturated with the irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The cause should be driven from the blood before the trouble reaches the chronic or helpless stage. S. S. S., a purely vegeteble remedy, cures Rheumatism by thoroughly cleansing the blood of every particle of the uric acid poison, and making this vital fluid pure, fresh and health-sustaining. It filters out from the circulation the remotest particle ol the poison, and when S. S. S. has renovated the blood, Rheumatism is thoroughly and permanently cured. Beok on Rheumatism and any medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. It is a genuine pleasure to announce the return to this city of the delight ful musical comedy, "Coming Thro' the Rye" which will be at the Grand Sat urday afternoon and evening. During its engagement In this city last season this mirthful and thoroughly diverting work made an impression upon all who witnessed it which will not soon be effaced. Great throngs crowded the theater in which it was played and it is doubtful if any performance that has been given here in a very long time succeeded in creating such prolonged ana nearty laughter. The comedy ele ment of "Coming Thro' the Rye" while farcical to some extent is at the same time thoroughly clean and wholesome. It tells a story which Is sufficiently connected to keep interest alive and its incidents and situations are uproar iously humorous. The musical score contains many delightful melodious numbers and they are the kind which keep the feet moving and which send an-audience away from the-theater humming of whistling their catchy re trains. Fresh in an entirely new and scenic dress and with new costumes, comes "The Burgomaster" to the Grand on Sunday matinee and night. In this season's new edition not only will the stage equipment be entirely new and with the two stars, Gus Weinburg and Ruth White, who were the originals in the leading roles, several old favor ites will be seen. Manager William P. Cullen, under whose able- direction this new edition of Pixley Luder's musi cal masterpiece will be presented, has spared neither pains nor money to make this season's production a most lavish one. One of the features In the Miller and Plohn production of "The Black Crook," which is the offering for Mon day at the Grand, is the transformation scene, which comes at the finish of the last act and which has been given the title of "From the Tropics to the Land of the Midnight Sun." The idea was suggested to the management by the expedition of Peary to the North Pole, and it is said to realistically depict the constant changes of scene that greet the eye of the Arctic explorer. It is most elaborately conceived and execu ted, requiring nearly a whole carload of scenery for this one effect alone. Kathryn Osterman, the bright partic-' ular star of "The Girl Who Looks Like Me," is a really clever comedienne, and is to play at the Grand next Wednes day. Those of the fair sex who are successful In comedy work are none too plentiful, but the faculty to produce genuine humor of a wholesome sort Is possessed in a marked degree by this clever actress. Miss Osterman is a great favorite wherever she appears. She has a part in her new offering that fits her capitally, and she is said to play it with a bouyancy and abandon that is refreshingly delightful. She is call ed upon to express many shades of feeling and she responds to the demand in a most artistic manner. In no other part in which she has been seen does she display such admirable art as char acterizes her Erma Desmond. She is radiantly beautiful In her excellent gowns and her personal charms enhance the effects of her finished acting. She simply captivates her audiences. Makes Cut In High Prices.

A STRIKE AT LA HARPE Drillers Say Bock Pressure Is Best of Kansas Wells. Flow Is So Strong Exact Meas urement Is Impossible. lola, Jan. 24. Yesterday afternoon the mercury was blown out of the gauge with which the drillers were at tempting to take the measurements of the gas well drilled In on the Nash farm three miles south of La Harpe for the Lanyon Zinc company. The gauge was an eight-Inch one and un der ordinary circumstances will meas ure at least a twenty million well. The fact that the mercury was blown out does not mean,-however, that the well Is a twenty million or better because the blowing out of the mercury Is large ly due to the exceptionally high rock pressure, but It does mean, according to one of the drillers, that the rock pressure is better than any well ever drilled in the Kansas gas field. It is not likely that the exact meas urements of this well will ever be known because, according to T. J. An derson of the Gas City Drilling com pany, there Is not a gauge In this part of the state that Is large enough, to measure It. Mr. Anderson said yester day evening that he did not believe that there was a gauge in this section except the one which the Kansas Nat ural Gas company had testing some wells drilled in near this city some time ago, that was large enough to take the correct measurements. It la believed to be impossible to get this gauge so that the measurements can be taken. The drillers say that it would be im possible to estimate the rock pressure of this well. While the other three wells which have been drilled for the Lanyon Zinc company In this newly discovered field have all had exception ally good rock pressure none of them are considered to be nearly as strong as this one.

Wichita, Kan., Jan. 24. Was the expenditure of $33,000 for voting ma chines for Sedgwick county justifiable? Was the transaction accomplished in the open and free from taint or graft? These questions are being asked by a number of Wichita business men, to whom have come some bad rumors touching the purchase of these ma chines. When it was finally known that tha board had entered into contract to buy $33,000 worth of machines from Mr. Blazer, the well known agent of the American Book company, the pub lic took more Interest. A lot of names have been mixed up in the deal, and the story is rampant that $8,000 were paid in commissions to various parties to influence the deal. The machines cost $750 each; this is $150 more for each machine than Topeka paid. The machines do not appear to be of such expensive con struction as to call for such a large outlay even if the purchase of them at any price is excusable. The added fact that they were bought of a repre sentative, of the American Book com pany, rather than from the dealers In machines, adds color to the ugly stories afloat.. State X. SI. C. A.

An exploding bomb last night wrecked the front of an Italian bank building on Elizabeth street briefly exposing $40,000 in sil ver and gold which the bankers. Pasquale A. Pati Son. had piled in the windows as ocular proof of their ability to pay depositors on demand. The junior partner, Salvatore Pati, who was on guard inside, was cut by the glass that crashed in upon him, but stuck by his charge and soon had the money stored away in the vaults. The score of clerks had left the place some hours before, and the explosion injured none but the younger Pati. The bomb throwers, who were not seen by the bankers, were quickly lost in the crowd of several thousand ex cited Italians who gathered about the wreck and their motive is a mystery. It was at first believed that a robbery had been attempted and the known distress in certain sections of the city lent color to this theory, r If robbery was the object, the perpetrators, it is believed, were amateurs, who loot courage at the critical moment when the tempting treasure was within arm's reach from the street. Pati, the elder. Is one of the most prosperous of the Italian bankers of the city. His institution is capitalized at $500,000. During the bank troubles he conceived the idea of a window dis play to reassure the doubting patrons and the realistic advertisement has since been one of the sights of the for eign quarter.

The question they have to ask is of no importance, and may have nothing1 to do with the case but it serve its purpose, which is to distract Morgan Quiets an Interrupter. the attention of the man who has some thing to say, and break the line of dis course. It is not customary for the "butter-in" to wait until the speaker has reached a period or colon, but to chop into the midst of a sentence, and then, hardly waiting for assent and recognition from the chair, ask some insane conundrum or begin a speech of his own. This custom seems to be prevalent in the house, and sometimes leads the onlookers to wish the myth ical destroyer of useless persons would do his duty. Because of this custom a sharp, well delivered rebuke is highly appreciated. The professional butter-In is hard to touch, and the onlookers were gratified at the Thursday afternoon session whert the boss goat, after interrupting every speaker who took tne floor, cross ed bats with Mr. Morgan, the sound lit tle gentleman from Reno. Morgan bears the deserved reputation of being one of the most substantial members of the house. He is not given to telling fish stories or cracking stale jokes on the floor of the house, and a majority of the members thereof want to hear what he has to say on any subject. When the official interrupter bumped Kokomo Woman Gives Fortune To Help Women Who Suffer. In the past few years Mrs. Cora B. Mil ler has spent J125.000.00 in giving medical treatment to afflicted women. Sometime ago we announced in the col umns of this paper that she would send free treatment to every woman who suf fered from female diseases or piles. More than a million women have ac cepted this generous offer, and as Mrs Miller is still receiving requests from thou sands of women from all parts of the world, who have not yet used the remedy she has decided to continue the offer for awhile longer, at least. This is the simple, mild and harmless preparation that has cured so many wo men in the privacy of their own homes after doctors and other remedies failed It is especially prepared for the speedy and permanent cure of leucorrhea or whitish discharges, ulceration, displace ments or falling of the womb, profuse scanty or painful periods, uterine or ova rian (tumors or growths; also pains in the head, back and bowels, bearing down feel ings, nervousness, creeping feeling up the spine, melancholy, desire to cry, hot flashes, weariness and piles from any cause, or no matter of how long standing Kvery woman sufferer, unable to find relief, who will write Mrs. Miller now without delay, will receive by mail free of charge, a 50-cent box of this simole home remedy, also a book with explana tory illustrations showing why women suffer and how they can easily cure them selves at home without the aid of a physi cian.

While some of the members of th? legislature are shaking in their shoes over the certain reception they will re ceive at the hands of their constituents, upon going home after a session which has accomplished little, they should re member the story of the small boy and the jam jar. "The cat did it," is the best answer they can make. House members should charge the failure to the seante and vice versa. Constituents with any sense of humor should enjoy the pickle in which the ruling gang of the house finds itself at this time. Let them dwell on this little joke, and be easy with their members. Last winter the house bosses passed a two-cent fare bill, and the senate killed it. Stubbs, alleged boss of the house, has been harping on this point during his campaign, and deposing thus: "It ain't my fault we ain't got a 2-cent fare bill. See what I done in the house. That miserable senate was controlled by the railroads,, and they done the dirt. Of course, I am boss of the house, but I can't quite control that railroad gang." Yes, of course he is boss of the house he admits it. Why, then, when ths senate, without a moment's hesitation, checks a 2-cent fare..hill up rUc; him, does he fall down thusly How will this affect his campaign? What will happen to the bunch of voters who have said, "He's boss anyway, we might as well elect him governor." A lone Democrat is a great dis turber in a well regulated Republi can assembly like the Kansas senate, and Mr. AVaggener of Atchison is known as the "bogey-man" of the legislature. Timid senators' shiver and turn pale when he offers an amendment, and begin an analysis for poison at once. The senator from Atchison is cer tainly to be envied in his position.

They Will Be Here to Meet Washburn Saturday. Ottawa university's basketball team which defeated Washburn college at Ottawa Tuesday night by a score of 39 to 25 will be in Topeka tomorrow night and will meet the Washh,, taam again on the court at Music hall, 528 wuincy street. Washburn was defeated Tuesday on account of a lack of fa miliarity with the Ottawa court which had a very rough floor and which was below the normal size. The game doubtless will be a good one. Ottawa has about as strong a team as there fa i i?.e feated every team they have wii, onsun wnicn includes victor ies over the Aggies at Manhattan, Kan sas university and Haskell, in addition to Washburn.

''I think Topeka Is to be congratula ted on being the first city in the entire United States to have" a municipally owned organ. Among the old centers of learning in Europe this custom is pre dominant but Topeka is the first city in the United States to have a pipe organ of her own." These were the remarks which greet ed a reporter for the State Journal as he stepped into the Auditorium this week and found Prof. F. T. Milner, an organist of high repute in Chicago, trying his hand on Topeka's great or gan, though the pipes were under can vas for the Midwinter exposition. "I am heartily in favor of the Eur opean plan of having the cities own their organs and as they do In many European cities of having the official organist a city omcer." Prof. Milner was loud in his enco miums on'TTopeka's wonderful organ."as he frequently referred to the monster Kimball organ in the Auditorium, which ne numDerea among the leading organs of the United States. And then he com pared our organ with those of other cities in the United States and other countries. "The largest organ in the United States," said Prof. Milner, "is the or gan in the cathedral at Garden City, Long Island, which was built as a me morial to A. T. Stewart, the million aire merchant prince of America. The pipe organ In the Jesuit cathedral at San Francisco was the second largest in this country until that instrument was destroyed in the big earthquake, Following this organ comes the one in the Pittsburg cathedral which was erected by the same builders as the Topeka organ and also the famous or gan in the Mormon temple at Salt Lake City. Topeka's organ ranks right among these which l have mentioned. "The largest organ in the world is the organ which was built a few years ago at Sidney, in New South Wales. This organ is located in the city hall and is operated in a way similar to the Topeka organ. In this organ there are 128 speaking registers. The organ was built by Hill Co. of London and was formally dedicated a few years ago by the late W. T. Best, of Liverpool, who was one of the best known organists in the world. "There seems to be a general misap prehension as to the efficiency of an or gan of American make when compared to those of European manufacture. However, when the organs of the two different makes are placed to the same advantages and are given the same tests it will be found that the Ameri can instruments excel, and that our organs are far ahead in the different virtues which go to make up an or gan." Prof. Milner talked very entertain ingly in regard to the organs in use in America, France and England. Ho has had ample opportunity to become acquainted with the various organs in use in all these countries, as he has spent considerable time traveling in Europe and is a man not only famed as a musician but one who is acquaint ed with ail the minute details of an organ. From his experience with in struments in foreign countries, Mr. Milner did not hesitate to pay a high compliment to the workmanship ol the American organs. The advantages which will accrue to Topeka in a musical and educational way were subjects upon which Mr. Milner delighted to talk. In fact he pointed to the organ and stated that In his estimation it would not be long until this would cause Topeka to be looked upon as one of the leading mu sical centers of the country. Prof. Milner is an expert engaged by the Kimball company. He came here not only to suggest to the directors, with whom he held several meetings this week, methods for paying for the instrument, but to point out the great source of pleasure and culture that exists in our organ, but of which To peka has not fully taken advantage. He says there is something more and far beyond, as noted In his talk, than the mere purchase of the instrument. He left here for Salt Lake City, but hopes to return within a week or two and show Topeka further points of advantage In her possession of a great organ.

The State Journal Is 3 member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive atorooou publication In Topeka The news la received In The State Jour nal building over wires lor tola sole purpose. i Lea 11a M. Shaw, ex-secretary of the treasury, must be pretty well fixed hen he can afford giving up a posi tion that pays a salary of $36,000 a ft might be remarked that a bill In the legislature which can be recogniz ed by Its father, after It has gone through the mill, is something of a Wonder. j i One thins Is certain. If the legisla tors fail to take action on a primary measure, the senators can go home and lay the blame on the members of the house and vice versa. 1 This If the season of the year In Shawnee county when the farm auction sales are attended by more candidates tor Republican nominations for county Offices than by prospective buyers. According1 to a London medical jour nal, lying is produced by Indigestion. There may be something to this claim hut It is a certainty that Indigestion is often conducive to 111 temper and pro fanity. j It Is the opinion of the Chicago Trib une, after a careful survey of the po litical field, that Mr. Fairbanks is prac tically sure of the whole country ex cept that part of it outside the boun daries of Indiana. T. De Qulncy Tully, secretary of the Law Enforcement society of New York City, -rightly says that at the bottom of all law-breaking, petit intrigue, small and large graft, debauchery and vice, is the lawless saloon. If the state senators and members of the house needed as little coaxing to pass legislation as they do to get their pictures taken en masse, as well as in dividually, a special session would or dinarily last but eleven minutes and twenty-three seconds- A measure which never has any trou ble In securing prompt and favorable consideration at. a special, or regular, session of the legislature is a bill mak ing an appropriation to pay the mile age and salaries of the members and the gratuities handed out to many who are styled as employes of the legis lature. All of the people in these United States will now rest easier and be able to go to sleep without rocking. Col Ooethals has Informed the senate com mittee on Interoceanlc canals that there will not be much chance to blow up the Panama canal when it is comple ted and that it will be safe from mili tary and naval attacks. Just one week has been consumed by the legislators In special session and the "emergency" measures which the governor called them together to act on are practically In the same position as they were at the opening of the ses sion, except that there has been con siderable rag chewing over most of them but to hardly any positive pur pose. Alton B. Parker blames Mr. Bryan Cor the Democratic defeat experienced In. 1904 when Mr. Parker did not even come near being elected president. This might properly be said to be rubbing it In Just a little bit. But Bryan is a good deal like Billy Loeb.as a burden bearer of blame. And a few more bun dles of It will not make much difference to him. That was a good Job performed by the woman who shot and killed a man In a New York restaurant the other day when she immediately killed her self. It will relieve the public from the harrowing details of the reasons for the murder which would have been brought out on the woman's trial. It is now un necessary to open up another page of "unwritten law." Exceedingly attractive are the decora tions on the walls of the Auditorium for the Midwinter. It would seem to be a good plan to permanently decorate these walls with some good fresh paint 'and some simple, Inexpensive but none the less effective designs so that they will be acceptable for all occasions and not the eyesores that they now are when not covered with bunting. There is no need of letting such a fine build lng as the Auditorium go into decay Just for lack of a little attention. Governor Bailey, as a candidate for the Republican nomination, for gov ernor, may be at something of a dis advantage because he is not a member of the legislature and therefore has no chance to manufacture the political capital that some of his opponents are now working overtime in making. But It may be better for him in the long run for a good deal of the medicine which is being made by candidates, who are in the legislature, is not likely to set well with the -voters of the state when they have had time, to assimilate it KIPLIXG OX WEALTH. Rudyard Kipling, who has written twenty books and countless poems, is on record for only one speech. It was a good speech and it made a deep im pression on the young men of McGill university, Montreal, before whom It was delivered. Kipling, like other men of clear vis Ion, is concerned about the undue place the pursuit of wealth has in modern life. Business to earn money is only the machinery of life, not life itself. He. who lives solely to earn money, is in the same class as the man who lives only that he may eat or the woman whose sole purpose in life is to wear fine clothes. We eat and we wear clothes that we may live for better things and if we can earn money it should be with some nobler purpose in View. Look about you, advised Kipling, and sooner or later you will see some man to whom the idea of wealth as mere wealth does not appeal. Continuing he said: "I advise you to watch this man closely, for he will presently demon strate to you that money dominates everybody except the man who does not want money. You may meet that man on your farm, in your village, or in your legislature. But be sure that, whenever or wherever you meet him, as soon as it comes to a direct issue between you, his little finger will be thicker than your loins. You will go in fear of him; he will not go in fear of you. You will do what he wants; he will not do what you want. You will find that you have no weapon in your armory with which you can attack him; no argument with which you can appeal to him. Whatever you gain, he will gain more. "I would like you to study that man. I would like you better to be that man, because from the lower point of view It doesn't pay to be obsessed by the desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If more wealth Is necessary to you, for purposes not your own, use your left hand to acquire it, but keep your right for your proper work in life. If you employ both arms in that game you will be in danger, of stooping: in dan ger also of losing your soul." Kipling is right. The world is full of splendid things for the men who will stand upright and who will not stoop. ENGLAND'S POLITICAL CRISIS. "There are many Indications that the coming session of the British parliament is to be" one of the most memorable in the history of that fa mous body," says the Chicago Tri bune. "Some of the measures which are to be advocated are so important that if they are successful the result will approach close to revolution. If they fail for the time they.are sure to be stronger In defeat than ever; be fore' and their friends will rally quickly for the renewed battle which they firmly believe will be rewarded with complete victory. "The programme to be presented Includes the Irish home rule project, for whose success its friends are more hopeful than ever. Sooner or later they declare that England1 must yield to Ireland's claim and give the island a system enabling it to manage its na tional affairs for Itself. The sooner this is done the better it will be for all concerned, and the Irish nation alists now see victory ahead after the long fight. The Irish universities bill may be the one around which the struggle will be waged, the larger project being brought to the front In the debates on this educational mea sure. "Interesting from an entirely differ ent standpoint is the licensing bill. In a sense it is a reflection of a world movement some of whose aspects have been brought to public atten tion In the United States in recent months. It provides that at the end of a specified period) all licenses shall cease and the granting of new lic enses shall be placed In the hands of the authorities. It Is a sort of local option measure and will be fought vigorously by the associated brewers, distillers, and license holders through out the kingdom. The lords are counted oni to support these inter ests against the representatives of the people who are pushing the tem perance fight. "There are other questions which have a vital bearing upon the wel fare of the country. There will be another attempt to amend the educa tional act. There will be land ques tions, municipal problems, labor laws, old age pensions, and similar subjects of popular interest and discussion, each of them supported y active and energetic adherents. If there were nothing special in the situation the session would be a lively one because of these great topics now In the minds of Englishmen. "But beneath them all and behind them all, every one sees the greater conflict which Is Impending. It will be heralded by speakers on every other theme. It is the central thing in public thought. It is the inevitable struggle between democracy and privilege. It is modern political theories against medieval survivals. The house of lords must be reorgan ized. That is the demand which the commons will make with increased vigor. That Is the government's pro gramme: to, deprive the hereditary branch of the national legislature of its autocratic and absolute power over the decisions of the commons. which represents the great majority of the people or the country and the trend of modern political thought. "It will be a royal battle. The vic tory will not be easily won. The gov ernment may have to appeal to the people. But If that is done the lead ers declare the result will be unques tioned. It is a critical year for Great Britain. The sympathy of Amerl cans will be with the democratic body In its fight against' aristocracy and prerogative. The whole "world will watch with -active interest the outcome of the struggle." JOURNAL ENTRIES Any number of folks are wrong in thinking they are sure Just because they are slow.

In addi tion to its "opera house" it has a "Vaudette" and a "Theatorium."

Besides having all kinds of women killers, Iola has a man who has brought suit against a Methodist church. The man fears the church will not pay him because he has asked it to do so. W. R.

By which it appears that Mr. Stubbs must have been a barefooted kid up to about 25.

A Kingman home talent show visit ed Coldwater last week and this is what the Talisman says about it: "The aggregation pulled off their show, which the named 'The Battle of Life,' and the general feeling of the patrons was that If the real battle of life was as near a failure as the per formance, one might just as well throw up his hands and quit." Encouraged by the successful auth orship of Kansas globe trotters, an Emporia man started a few days ago on a tour of the world, expecting to write a book when he returned. After reaching--Reading, however, he be came homesick for Emporia and re turned Saturday night. He says he gathered enough material In that brief trip for a book of four or five hun dred pages. Independence has started a war against tho practice of spitting" on the sidewalk. An ordinance against this filthy habit has been on the statute books of the city for some time but it has been something of a dead let ter. The city council passed a resolu tion tho other night directing the po lice to enforce it with the result that the next day three men were ar rested for the offense and fined one dollar each. A maximum fine of $100 for each offense may be imposed. E. Bunker. an old settler at Con cordia, thinks these "hard" times are not so very hard after all when com pared with some that occurred about thirty-five years ago. At that time all freight had to be hauled from water ville, 120 miles, and it took nine days to make the trip. Sleeping accommo dations were furnished by all out doors. Such freight service is enough to make even the Central branch seem respectable. Mr. Bunker's boy was brought up in a house with a dirt floor, but last year this young man put up an $8,000 house for himself. Hard as they now seem, we'll bet he wouldn't take a good deal for the memories of those old shanty days! GLOBE SIGHTS. rFrom the Atchison Globe.l A compliment nearly always precedes a request for a favor. The only way for some people to get into society is to DreaK in. The vainest people are usually those who have no reason to be vain. How fearless and plain-spoken a man is in talking to his women folks! It is more trouble for a woman to wash her head than to do the family washing. No matter how wrong a man may be, if you Jump him he always has a come back. When a man Is trying to sell you something, don't imagine he is that polite all the time. Business seems to be improving slowly; but as slowly as a man moves who works by the day. A woman should believe no man un til she is married; and then she should believe but one. Impudent people are like contagious diseases: You never know when, or where, they will break out. All hope of making a good cook out of a girl is lost when she commences writing Margaret "Marguerite." When there is an office in sight, the men all want it, and when one of them gets it, he begins to grumble because the play is so small. It Is easy to be a brave man until confronted with an', opportunity to fight: on parade, the cowardly soldier looks quite as well as the hero. The sisters in a church think that if a woman has the "true spirit of Chris tianity,": she will sing in church whether she -has a "voice," or not. The average woman's experience with financial matters has been such that she is usually more than half in favor of her daughter marrying for money. You hear many men complaining that all they want is a chance. Every man has a dozen chances a day for bettering his condition that he does not Improve. Never talk so much of the state from wnicn you came tnat your friends will despise It. We know a man who hates Vermont because he has heard so much of it from his wife. It is said that if our lives were given to us to live over again, there would be no difference in the outcome. Many of us, however, are so utterly worthless that it would be safe to risk it. KANSAS COMMENT KANSAS FOR A KANSAN. The doctrine, "Kansas for Kansans," seems susceptible of an application ex ceptionally individual in the case of William Allen White, editor and owner Por'a Gazette, magazine writer and the author of much litera ture that has caused his name to be enrolled Among the American. Immor tals. It Is known by-his friends that Mr. White very recently declined an offer to take charge Of the- editorial- page of one of the great metropolitan news, papers of the middle west on terms that would, have been accounted a a strong temptation to most Journalists" not attached by proprietary interests with establishments of corresponding magnitude. The proposition was de clined without hesitation, by Mr. White, with the statement., that nothing could tempt him to leave Emporia or to for sake a line of work which is thorough ly in harmony, with his tastes; which makes him an Influential factor In the affairs of the great state of Kansas; which is amply remunerative, and which holds him to the propitious en vironment that; has, made him fam ous, i Kansas for a Kansa&r Is a policy which, in the case- of William Allen White, seems to have been forecast by destiny. Mr. White gave the very ear liest pledge of his genius by selecting Kansas as his birthplace. To make certain that the future should bring to him all that it has yielded, he was born In Emporia, where live the dear, gen uine, intrinsic folk who are described In his charming book of stories, called "In Our Town." To every effort, al most, that Mr. White has made in the realm of letters, Kansas has lent the charm of Its keen life and its Intense individuality. What many writers leave out of their books is the engaging and compelling ingredient of human nature. That is the very element that springs up and bubbles over in Mr. White's writing; and, without the slightest de traction from the praise that Is due to the superb natural gifts of the bard of "Wilier Crick" and author of "The Court of Boyvllle," Kansas must be given much of the credit f or tlte result which has made Mr. White one of the favorite sons of fortune. It is quite in accord with all of the promptings of judgment and sentiment, that Mr. White should continue to abide In Kansas and in Emporia. Not that he would not shine with a light all his own In New York' or Chicago or any other locality to which he might elect to remove. But Kansas Is for Kansans in a way that no other state on the map is for Its inhabitants, and in a way that no other son of that state has proved so definitely and distinctly as William Allen White of Emporia. Kansas City Star, jp- RECIPROCITY NEEDED. The men who are opposing mall order houses and parcels post do not act consistently. For instance the merchants protest against the farm ers buying of mail order houses. Last summer. we heard a merchant tell a farmer that he would not. pay certain price for berries that he couHl get them shipped in from Mis souri for less. There ought to be reciprocity-. If the- merchants expect the farmers to patronize them they In turn must patronize the farmers. The concession must not all be on one side. Lawropce Journal. FROM PTHER PENS THE RED FLAG OF ANARCHY. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, in' an ad dress in New York last Saturday, said: "As much as I love the stars and stripes, I love the red flag better." This is a land of free speech and Mrs. Stokes is at liberty to proclaim her preference for the emblem of anarchy. Fortunately her sentiments are shared by very few persons who enjoy the pro tection of the stars and stripes. That flag stands for law, order and oppor tunity. It is a guarantee of individual liberty, of progress and respect for human rights. It Is strange that any fugitive from Russian tyranny should fall to appreciate the manifold blessings which he enjoys under the American flag. This nation was founded by men who would not tolerate oppression. But they laid the foundations of the nation in law, order and government by the people, and so long as the influence of their example prevails there will be no red flag for the American people. Bal timore Sun. DEMANDS OF THE PHILIPPINES. It is not at all creditable to this coun try that the Philippines should be com pelled to offer America free entry Into their country of some important pro ducts In order to- induce the United States to grant them more freedom In trade. Apparently tiring of their efforts to secure something like the same treatment which .this country extends to other countries that fly the Ameri can flag, the Philippine national assem bly recently instructed its commission ers to the United States to endeavor to secure reciprocity. It naturally seems absurd, as well as unfair, that an American dependency should be obliged to ask reciprocity instead of equal rights with a country by which it has been" adopted, but the Philippines have apparently abandoned hope of recetvlng the whole loaf and will now try to be content with half a loaf.

't fie I Tourist Spend, -H.ow much money American "travel ers leave annually in Europe Is being discussed in1 newspapers and -magazines more earnestly than .ever. The total sum, it is generally admitted, has been growing enormously within Ave years. Writers in foreign newspapers are astonished at the Increased output of American dollars In Great Brltlan, France, Switzerland, Italy and other countries, and prominent bankers aver that the millions of dollars expended represent a very large portion of the revenue of some, of the countries in question. A conservative estimate places the number of American travelers to Europe this year between 125,000 and 160,000. Another estimate, based on the all-the-year-round travel from the United States, Indicates that at least 300.000 Americans cross the At lantic and expend $700 a head, ex clusive of steamship tickets or $228, 000.000 in alL Call the total figure even a little over one-half of that sum or $125,000,000, and it is seen that foreign countries must profit im mensely from the tourists. The principal foreign countries also realize a tremendous revenue from tourists from countries other than the United States. It is claimed by French bankers that the income of France from all tourists is something like $500,000,000 annually. The tour ist toll to Italy is now reckoned at $100,000,000. Egypt, Norway, Hol land and Germany each receives -a generous .revenue-from sightseers. In Switzerland the innkeepers live off travelers the year round. -A writer finds from a report of the Swiss Hotel Keepers' association that hotel re ceipts alone have doubled since 1880, and are today $40,000,000- a year. In twenty years the number of hotels has increased from 1,080 to 2,000. Lu cerne, between May. and November last year, was visited by 186,227 tour ists. In the wintertime it is estimated there are 400,000 visitors to the va rious Swiss resorts. The winter sports have served to increase the revenue of the hotels In most European countries. There are only three months In the year now November, December and January when there is any let up to ocean travel from America, but during the other nine months thousands are crossing the Atlantic. Paris 1s the greatest center for tour ists and particularly for automobillsts. It is said that the perfect roads in the French republic are very nearly pay ing for themselves In the great fund of gold that motorists annually leave in the country. At one time during the summer season it was estimated that 8,000 automobile parties, embrac ing 40,000 Americans, were touring the continent and that their running expenses would be $25,000,000. The majority of them visited various sec tions of France. One .the Britisher was the .world's greatest" traveler, but now the' Ameri can, the German, and the South American, who have been making money, can be found in all the contin ental health and pleasure resorts. Of course, the times have much to do with the tide of travel. Since 1900 the United States has had good times. hence foreign travel has Increased.. In deed, to accommodate travelers more than a score of new "liners" have been built, necessitating an expense of nearly $100,000,000. Boston Globe. End of Decatur's Home. A celebrated landmark of more than usual Interest is soon to give way to the march of improvements in its vicinity. It was once the home of Commodore Stephen Decatur, and all who recall his expedition to the Medi terranean feel an interest in the homestead. It stands cut on Powder Mill Lane, in Frankford, in the midst of historic surroundings. When the portentous sign "For sale appeared upon the oldt-fash-loned rambling homestead there was universal regret in the neighborhood of the relic that has ions been a source or nrtae to the inhabitants of Frankford, and the regret was deep ened when It was found later that a modern building operation Is to take the place of the fsmous Decatur man sion. The estate adjoins the site of the ancient powder mill of revolutionary fame on Powder Mill Lane, Just above. Nlcetown Lane. The Decatur mansion has long been noted as the home of the naval hero who did much toward carrying the glory of our maritime prowess to the far corners of the earth. In 1808 the citizens of Philadelphia gave a splen did banquet to the hero of Tripoli, "the pride and honor of the nation's navy," and December 10,. 1812, the council of Philadelphia voted him a sword. One of his pet names at that time was "the Bayard of the Sea." At the same time, resolutions were adopted eulogistic of his gallant work in capturing the British frigate Mace donia. Decatur gained much fame by his magnificent operations against the Algerians in 1815. He made a satis factory bargain with the Dey of Algiers by blowing up the Algerian fleet, and then secured a treaty which provided that thenceforward no tri bute was to be paid by the United States, all Americans were to be re leased from captivity, and no more were to be enslaved. In the graveyard of Old St.' Peter's church, at Third and Pine streets, Decatur's monument stands as one of the city's noteworthy memorials in stone. An eagle with spread wings is mounted upon-"-a! -huge Ionic column. His dth was'th result of an en counter, March 23, 182Q. with Commo dore James Barron on the famous dueling grounds of Bladensburg, Md. The duel grew out of a quarrel arising over Barron's surrender .of his ship some years before.. It was several years later that Decatur's body was brought to Philadelphia -and its rein terment in St. Peter's churchyard! was made the occasion of a great civic and naval demonstration. .At the same time the Decatur home on Pow der Mill Lane was made a special In terest because of the memorial cele bration. 3 There has been somev- talk -of pre serving the historic structure, even though a new building operation crowds modern .houses upon it, but in all probability sentiment will be com pelled to give way to the march of im provement, and the interesting old landmark, with all its traditions and associations, will soon disappear. Philadelphia Inquirer. JHE EVENIHG STORY Ferguson's Mascot. (By Harriet Lummls Smith.) -From the first Ferguson had dis liked the pug. The sight of the fat, wheezy,' little animal, following at the heels of his pretty next door neighbor, awoke -in him an unreasonable desire to prod that pampered pet with his walking stick. ,All of which goes to show that first Impressions are npt. to be trusted. Ferguson's Interest in the girl next door was fast approaching the critical stage. Perhaps the natural attrac tion which beauty holds for youth was heightened by the fact that the girl seemed unaware of his existence. Fer guson almost resented the blankness of her gaze, the indifferent tilt of her chin. Ha had a feeling that if she should look once, she might find it worth her while to look again. The pug took a hand in the. game one delicious spring day. when Fer guson, who was supposed to be study ing law in his room, was in reality watching the pink of the peach blos soms-against tho blue of the sky, and feeling in -his heart a vague exquisite response to the charm of the season. All at once the current of his thoughts was changed by an asthmatic barking in his neighbor's back yard. A black kitten shot across the grass to the shelter of the peach tree. The pug waddled after, end stood guard below.- coughing violently as a result of his unusual exertions. Then 'Fer guson's pulses thrilled at the sound of a girlish voice, raised in reproach ful summons: "Punch, you wretch, come here this instant." The law books had1 no chance after that. Even the peach blossoms be came only the setting of the picture. The black kitten in the branches howled agonizingly. The pretty girl below called her In dulcet tones which would have tempted Ferguson to dare any danger. She brought out a saucer of milk, but even this lure proved un availing. Then suddenly Ferguson started so violently that the book on his knee fell with a thud to the floor. "By Jove," exclaimed the young man. "She's going to climb the tree." With an instant realization that this was his opportunity, Ferguson went down the stairs in a headlong manner, which gave his landlady the impression that the house was on fire., Explana tions delayed him unwarrantably, and when he burst out of the door, the kit ten was in M3ss MorreU's arms,.-and Miss Morrell was in the peach tree. Ferguson hesitated, then advanced, halting at a respectful distance. "Might I bo of assistance?" be asked. "I I think you might," said the girl doubtfully. "You see it's so much easier getting up than getting down. If only you would take the kitten, I think I could manage." Ferguson climbed up beside her, and attempted to relieve her of her charge. But the black kitten had its own opin ion regarding the transfer. It strug gled. It spit. It elevated the hairs along its spine. It clawed Ferguson's wrist as if it suspected him of being an emissary of the pug dog. "Oh, dear, now she has scratched you!" exclaimed the girl: If she had been pretty before, she was entrancing now, looking at him through the peach blossoms, "I'm sure I can get down now,"' said the girl, and Ferguson set the kitten on the grass, and politely looked In an other direction. A long minute passed:' Then there was a Shriek, and Ferguson turned to see the lady of his dreams clutching an overhanging bough, and dangling some distance above the ground. The young man rushed to her assist ance. For a heavenly instant he had her in his arms and then he set her on her feet. Her face was as pink as the peach blossoms, and her shy eyes found difficulty In meeting his. But there was no lack of gratitude in her tone as she said: "I don't know how to thank you!" Ferguson went home with the feeling that he was laklng on air. As he passed the window, he saw the pug looking out, but his expression no longer seemed sardonic but rather ben evolent. ,"I.ow. you a silver collar for this, old boy," Ferguson thought, gratefully. For Miss Morrell had given him per mission to calL It was some time before it was necessary for the pug to interfere again. Without his good offices, the acquaintance progressed rapidly. Miss MorreU's callers were very likely to find. a dark, well dressed young man sitting on the hammock oeslde her, or occupying one of the rustic chairs on the porch, or smoking in the library with the air of one who feels at home. Most of them took the hint. There was one exception, however, an obtrusive young fellow, Randall by name, who continued his visits, though Ferguson did his best to make it clear, that they could be quite content without him. Unfortunately. Miss Morrell did not second these efforts as she might have done. She continued to treat her persistent caller with a considera tion which Ferguson thought dis tinctly urannecessary. When he came one night prepared to take her driv ing, and found she had gone boat ing with Randall, he gave a harsher name to the act. He did mot sleep that night, and when he presented himself next morning he was in the worse of humors. Had Miss Morrell been conciliatory, all might have beop well. But Instead she wore an air of studied indiffer ence, and when she did not resent his reproaches she laughed at him. Ac cordingly, In fifteen minutes the in terview terminated abruptly. ."In that case," said Ferguson,' ris ing to his feet, "the best thing for me to do is to take my hat and go home. And Miss Morrell replied: "X quite agree with you." Only on thing Interfered: with carrying out this programme im mediately. Ferguson could not find his hat. "Good evening," said Miss Morrell, in the background, as If weary of waiting for him to take the initiative. "I beg you not to imagine that I am delaying intentionally," exclaimed Ferguson with indignation. "But even you can see that it is impossible for me to leave the house bare headed." "You put your ha on the chair; I saw you," said Miss Morrell. "I am quite aware that I put 'It there," returned Ferguson stiffly. "But it Is easy to see that it is not there now." For some minutes he hunted.- Miss Morrell laid aside her offended dignity sufficiently to assist in the search. All at once, she started nervously. "I do hope Punch didn't find It," she exclaimed. "He's so mischievous' some times." But when the hat was discovered, tt was in Punch's society. Moreover it had lost its resemblance to a hat. The brim was missing, and the crown was fast disappearing. Punch surveyed them over the wreck, and grinned com placently. The two young people looked at each other, and Miss MorreU's lips twitched. Ferguson thought she was on the "point of laughter and he smiled encouraging ly. Then she surprised him by turning her face to -the wall, and bursting into tears. "My darling girl, exclaimed Fergu son, almost beside himself. "My dear est Ina, I beg you won't give a thought to the worthless thing." "But you were going away angry," said a stifled voice. "Angry with you?" cried Ferguson. "Never He' took her In his arms again, as he had done under-the peach tree, but he did not let her go as quick ly. And that wise old pug left the ruin ed hat on the rug, and waddled away to the window-seat, as If satisfied that they were once more capable of man aging their own affairs.' Punch Is older now, and divides his mistress', devotion with a email pink, and white rival said to resemble Fer guson. But he wears a sliver collar and no one grudges him his place as an honored member of the household. Whatever Ferguson's faults, he is not ungrateful. (Copyrighted, 1908, by C, H.

The symptoms described in. the fol lowing case are so. common, today Wherever overwork -and worry have "suited in a decline in health that the means by which a cure was effected deserves the careful attention of every thoughtful man and woman. It is Such conditions as are here described that are commonly neglected until the Injury to the health is past repair. It la therefore the part of wisdom to take the remedy that cured Mrs. James Struwin of 488 West Main street, Bat tle Creek, Mich., as soon as the first warning symptoms are noted. She ays: "For several months I was sick with anaemia and part of the time had to remain in bed. it was Drougnt on u overwork which produced a rundown eondltion. I didn"t have much of an appetite and had to be careful what 1 ate. My kidneys were weak and the aecretions contained a sediment, my cheeks and Hds were white. I had bad headaches,' dizzy and fainting spells and would' see black specKs noaung before my eyes. I would often have palpitation of the heatr, could get no rest .from sleep, was nervous, low spirited and weak. My Diooa was watery and I didn't have strength enough to work. "We employed a doctor for six months but without avail. Then I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and soon after began to take them. A few boxes cured me giving me strength and plenty of blood and I have been well and strong ever since." So general is the success of Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills in curing anaemia that it may be safely stated that the? are the most certain remedy for all conditions of thin, weak and watery blood. They are also a tonic for 'the nerves and have cured indigestion and general debility, where the stpmach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack of propr nourishment. They have also been especially suc cessful in curing rheumatism and after-effects of the grip and of fevers.

This contribution is in the nature of an "expose" of the methods being pur sued by the State Bankers' association to defeat the guarantee bill. The fol lowing is the governor's statement:' There has been returned to me by a prominent banker, to whom it was sent, the letter which has been sent out to the bankers of Kansas by the so-called executive committee of the Kansas Bankers' association, of which the fol lowing is a copy: KANSAS BANKERS' ASSOCIATION- Topeka, Kan., Jan. 16, 1908. To the Bankers of Kansas: Without doubt the proposed bank guaranty deposit bill will pass the pres ent legislature and become' a law un less the bankers of the state get busy at once. It is the judgment of a large majority of the ablest bankers in the state (both state and national) that the plan is dangerous and impracfical. If you are opposed to the bill, please write, wire or come and see your representatives ana senators without delay and urge them as strongly as you can to oppose the measure. By order of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. To this letter Mr. Roy Hesseltine, cashier of the Citizens' State bank of Sabetha, one of the largest state banks in Kansas, with a capital of $50,000, made the following most excellent re ply: Sabetha, Kan., Jan. 20, 1908. W. W. Bowman, Secretary, Topeka, Kan.' Dear Sir: Tour circular letter rela tive to the passage of a guarantee bank bill in Kansas, is at hand, and I am surprised that as great an organization as the Kansas Bankers' association has not been sufficiently alive and- awake to place their ear to the ground and listen to the rumbling and demands of the common people of our great state. Why, the handwriting is plainly visible. If we fail in procuring the passage of the measure you are fighting, it will be the most fatal mistake our state has ever made. Even here in the northern part of the state, parties threaten to send their surplus to Oklahoma In case the bill guaranteeing deposits fails in its passage. If our state organization means nothing better or higher than lobbying in the defeat of worthy meas ures, we. for one, want to be disfran chised from its membership; -Tour position is a mystery to me, unless vour committee is controlled by rlation--al banks, and I can't see -.why: you should take this stand, even In?; that case, as a national bill is inevitable; in which case you simply place -the state banks where they will be compelled to nationalize- Trusting that you may become en lightened and up with the demands of the day before your efforts work harm. Very truly, ROY HESSELT1NE.' It will be observed that this appeal tn srt bnsv at once is only to the bank ers of the state. I -do not believe that a large majority, nor any majority at n f the bankers of the state are op posed to this guaranty proposition but, on the contrary, I believe a majority of them are in favor of it. But foe this as it may, there can be no question where aa overwhelming majority of the I depositors stand; on this question, and it is,.' after all, "as -I" have- repeatedly insisted, primarily a depositors' and not a bankers' proposition, though both will be its beneficiaries in tne ena. i ne bankers and depositors alike, there fore, -who are in favor or tnis proposi tion, should also get busy ahd either write, wire, petition or come ana set; their representatives ahd senators in reference to this vital matter. I am in receipt today of lengthy petitions from Jefferson county, Norton county, Ells worth county and Smith county, pray ing for the enactment of this guaranty law. The petition from Smith Center alone contains the names, so the writer says, of nearly every Business man in town. As a further contribution to this con troversy. I wish to say "that the letter which it was alleged, by all the ..daily newsoaners by press, alspa ten tram Washington, was sent to me on Mon day by Comptroller Kiagiey, nas not yet arrived, but I have received, a copy of the following telegram sent. by Sen ator Owen of Oklahorga. himself a prominent national banker of that state, to the governor of Oklahoma, under date of January 20: "Please rush national bank concrete application to comptroller of currency for permission to avail itseir or siate guaranty provision.

Sixteen Others Injured in Fighting a $400,000 Blaze. Baltimore, Jan. 24. Fire early to day .-took heavy toll from the mem bers -of the fire department of this city.- three being dead and 16 others more or less seriously injured. The list of the latter includes the name of George Horton, chief of the fire de partment, who is in a serious condi tion! He has a badly lacerated1 scalp and internal injuries. The first hasty examination indicated that his skull was fractured, but ec more careful in vestigation showed this not t-o be the case. The dad are: LIEUTENANT FREDERICK HAR- MAN. WILLIAM B. FTJGxT. UNIDENTIFIED MAN. thoueht to be Emil Morrin. The financial damage is estimated I by Mayor J. Barry Mahool, who was early on tne scene at $400:000. The blaze which is the worst that has occurred in this city since the calamity of 1904, started on the third floor of the building on the southeast corner of Holliday and Saratoga streets, occupied by the J. Regester bons company. plumbers supplies. Other occupants of the building were the Baltimore Bell and Brass com- i pany.. and the William L. Hollings worth company, machinists. Upon these three the heaviest losses fall. The fire had apparently been burn ing for sometime before it was dis covered. The first alarm was quickly followed by a general alarm, which brought most of the fire .apparatus in the city to the s;ene. A strong .wind from the northwest and a very low temperature, made the work of fight ing the fire more than ordinarily diffi cult and the flames spread very rapidly. In an incredibly short time after the blaze broke out of the win dows on the Saratoga street side of the Regester building and. without the s-.ightest warning a .large section of the north wall of the t)u:lding fell.

WON'T CALL BRISTOW. Strong Opposition to His Appearance -Develops In Senate Committee. Washington, Jan. 2. Some dissen sion has arisen among the members of the senate committee on interoceanie canals over a proposition to call former Assistant Postmaster General J. L. Bristow, the special Panama railroad commissioner, before the committee -and question him concerning his re port on a proposed project of the gov enrment acquiring a steamship Una on the Pacific coast. Mr. Bristow was to have appeared before the canal commission during its hearings this week. The plan has been abandoned in spite of the fact that several members of the commis sion have expressed a wish to question Mr. Bristow. Senator Flint of Cali fornia and Senator Hopkins of Illinois have expressed stern opposition to Mr. Bristow appearing at all and they seem to have carried the committee.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALFRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24,-1908 NOT A GLUE FOUND Officers Certain That J. B. Joslin Was Murdered. Puzzling Their Heads to Find a Motire. WOMAN IN THE CASE. Lived With Him and Supposed to Be His Wife. Disappeared Suddenly and Whereabouts Are Unknown. There is but little doubt In the minds of those who are familiar with the conditions surrounding the finding yesterday-of the body of J. B. Joslin nd his habits during life that he was foully murdered In the hovel at 328 Wabash avenue, which served him' as a home. Sheriff Wllkerson is' firmly convinced of the fact and Is bending his energies towards locating a clue -which may assist in solving the mys tery. The body which was discovered by R. R. Dennis, who called to present a gas bill early Thursday morning, was is an advanced stage of decomposition and all Indications point to the fact that the man was murdered some time Tuesday. He was last seen Sunday evening when he left an Oak land street -car in a-drunken condition and presumably went to his hovel which is less than a block from the corner where he left the -car. The thing which points "most strongly to murder 1b the fact, that a piece of rope several feet in length was directly under the neck of the dead man in just;such a position as it would have been, liable to fall when released by the hand of the murderer after .the victim had been strangled to death. There was not even a nail In the wall near where the rope was found to which it could have been tied to facilitate suicide. The eyes and tongue of the victim protruded from the head just as they would have done if death had been produced by strangulation. The ef fects of decomposition were such that It was impossible to tell whether there were other marks on the body save the wound in the throat: and the stab wound in the hand which might in dicate that the victim had made an attempt to defend himself from his murderer. Joslin' was a recluse, though he had a few boon companions with whom he associated during his drunken epreea, arid among these he was sup posed to have an income of some kind or else money secreted, as he was al was known to have the price of a drink for himself and friends. He worked as a laborer, but only at inter vals and then only for a short time. "When he moved into the two rooms which constituted his home he was ac companied Dy a woman wno ne said was his wife. .'After living with ?tni fir month ot so the woman disappeared and Jos lin said that she had gone home to her people for a visit and that they lived in, Iowa. She was not seen after hsr sudden disappearance and Joslin has been about the place less since then, coming late in the evening and de parting 'early In the morning, when he slept In the house. He belonged to the "white horse brigade,'' as the drunkards of the city who drink alcohol are known, and as such has been locked In the city prison at different times. His case is some what similar to that of John Dalgreen, who was found dead in the basement of the Office block a few years ago with his skull crushed. There was a general rounding up of the "white horse brigade" following this murder, but Who killed him or a reason for his murder Was never decided. This murder as in the Dalgreen case eeems to be one which will be added to the list of unsolved crimes of the city, the victims in all of th cases be ing of the drunken worthless class. It Is sad that Joslin has relatives living near Wakarusa and others living in Iowa, but who they are or their exact residence is not known. A coroner's Jury was summoned yesterday afternoon and viewed the body and listened to the testimony of those who knew anything of the old tnan and his habits, but no light was thrown on the case and no motive for the crime advanced. Sheriff Wilkersan is at work on the case and the neigh borhood is being scoured for anything FRASER BROS. C. 0. D. STORE Southeast Cor. 6th and Jackson Sts. Both Phones 660.

Little was developed at the inquest Thursday afternoon of ah importart nature though neither Sheriff Wilker son or Acting County Attorney Atchi son are satisfied with the investigation which has been made. The coroner's jury was adjourned until 10. o'clock Tuesday morning when another meet ing will be held and it is expected that additional evidence will be produced which may throw some light on the death. The indications are that the murder of Joslin will go down in history along with the other murders which have oc curred within the limits of the city in the past ten years for which no one has been punished. In nearly every in stance the victim had been from the lowly walks of life, most of them se lected from among the hard drinkers of the city. The fact that the body remained for so long a time after the commission of the crime without dis covery will hamper the officers greatly in their efforts to land the murderer. MAY END NEXT WEEK. Believed That Special 'Session Adjourn on Saturday. Will Final adjournment of the special session of the legislature is looked for about the end of next week, though there is no reason why all really im portant bills should not be disposed of by the middle of the week. W. E. Archer of Brown county this morning introduced a concurrent res olution fixing the time of final ad journment at noon, Saturday,- Feb. 1. His resolution provided that both house and senate should cease the consideration of all original bills at noon, Wednesday, January 29, leav ing the time between January 29 and February 1 for the consideration of bills originating in the other branch of the legislature, and winding up of conference committee reports. An effort was made to suspend the rules, and pass this resolution this morning, but the house defeated the proposition by a decisive vote. It Is likely that the final, adjournment will come on that date, however. The members don't like to talk about the time for adjournment until the primary and bank deposit guar antee bills are out of the road. As soon as those measures are settled, the sentiment for going home will become much stronger, and this may account for the tendency not to rush those' bills" very much. A communication from General Hugh Cameron, the. Kansas hermit, was presented to the house by W. B Stubbs. General Cameron thanked the house for aiding him in his pil grimage to the home of former Sen ator Ross In New Mexico. Representative J. H. Mercer and Senator J. M. Hamme of Chase coun ty today received a petition from the bankers of Chase county asking them to delay action on guaranty bill until regular session. No legislation need ed. NEAR A CASH BASIS. New York's 07 Millions of Clearing House Certificates About All In. New York, Jan. 24. When business closeO" yesterday atl'Vut $11,200,080 of the 97 miliion in clearing house certificates Issued by the clearing house association during the recent financial flurry had been retired. -Since Monday $7,800,000 of the certificates have been taken up, nearly two mil lion a day. It Is believed that prac tically the whole of the amount out standing will be wiped out by the end of the week and that early next week the clearing house will again be on a strictly cash basis. The fact that money is now flowing into the banks in large quantities is emphasized by the fact that the retirement of the certifi cates was simultaneous with the re turn of 10 million of the emergence de posit made by the government during the height of the flurry. The highest rate for call money yesterda-w was 2 M per cent, most of the. loans being made at 2 per cent and some of them at 1 CANT DO ENOUGH. Miners Talk of Raising Big Fund for John Mitchell. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 24. The con vention of the United Mine Workers of America adjourned at noon until to morrow. None of the committees ready to report. President Mitchell, concern ing rumors published here that he pro bably would become the head of a na tional bureau of mines announced that h' !i3d not accepted a government po sition, none had been offered to him and to the best o" his knowledge he never would accept a government po sition. It is stated today that there Is a movoment afoot to create a nation al advisory board of the miners' or ganization of whk-h Mr. Mitchell would be head. There will be opposition in the ranks of the miners. The resolution committee is flooded with resolutions proposing a per capita tax for Mitchell of 50 cents and a dol lar. This would raise a fund of from $150,000 to $300,000. It is believed he would not -accept It. MUSIC IS BANISHED. Also Slot Machine Will Disappear From Chicago Saloons. Chicago, Jan. 24. Music and slot ma chines will disappear next week from 6,000 Chicago saloons by order, not of the police, but of officials of the saloon keepers' organization.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBITAE FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1908. TV LARGEST IN THE WORLD. Steel Vault Which Is Being Installed in Xew York. New York, Jan. 24 The largest steel Tault In the world is now being in Mailed by the Carnegie Safe Deposit company in this city in their magnifi cent headquarters in the United States Realty building, corner Broadway and Cedar streets.- The huge plates used are of the same quality of steel as is used by the leading nations in the pro tection of their battleships, and are proof against even any modern high power gun capable of being brought to an attack on the vault. The Harvey- XETHER SIDE OF CZAR'S COCRT. Russian Says the Imperial Kitchens Need a Pure Food Iav. A writer, who signs himself S. R. G., has contributed to the Revue of Paris some revelations of the nether side of court life in Russia. The Revue says that the writer is a Russian prince and belongs to the suite of the czar. He begins with a reference to the czar's attack of typhus fever during his visit to Livadia in 1900, and the wonder expressed throughout Europe that a potentate whose life was so carefully guard-id should have contracted the in fection.

All of tfie plates in this vault, which is expected to be com pleted in March, are then put together, the tongue fitting into a groove cut Into adjoining plates, no bolts showing from without. In fact wedges are driven into place from inside the vault so plates lock securely in place. The steel plates required weigh 756 tons and are made by the Bethlehem Steel com pany. The front plates for the door alone weigh 26 tons. The circular doors forged into one piece 23 Inches thick, weigh 20 tons each. These 'are hung with such delicate precision that a child can swing them. HEIRS OF WASHINGTON. They Are About to Receive Share of Ills Ohio Estate. Chicago, Jan. 24.

These are managed with inexpressi ble disorder and are unsanitary-beyond belief. Their unhygienic condition is only equaled by their dishonesty -and extravagance. The alleged prince writes that Gen eral Tyrto, brother of a former minister of marine, called in his doctor one day. He was fearfully 111. "Where have you been dining?" ask ed the doctor. "I had luncheon with the czar yes terday, and I came right home and went to bed, I was so 111," was the an swer. The doctor treated him for ptomaine poisoning and pulled him through. The czar's table is financed on a scale of enormous extravagance. Eaaa .dish provided Is put down at ten rubles, or about $5, and each single article of food counts as a dish, though it may be only a few- olives or a bunch of celery. At great state dinners the figuring Is still higher. For instance, if there are 500 covers set and lobster patties are on the menu, the account put in will be for 600 lobsters at four rubles apiece, though one lob ster easily suffices for four or five guests. Or if ducks from Rouen are provided, BOO duck3 are paid for at five rubles apiece, though each duck affords four portions. Withal the lobsters are apt to be of doubtful freshness and the ducks do not come from Rouen- The champagne which is served on these great occas ions, except perhaps at the Imperial table, is sure to masquerade as the choicest brand in the imperial cellars, but the real quality is worse than sus picious. There is a man in St. Petersburg who is famous for his dinners and his wine. As he is not wealthy, his friends won der how he does it. One day the writer Buiveq me mystery. He was sittiner in a cafe with th flln- ner giver, when a servant in court liv ery popped his head In at a rear door and beckoned. The prince thought the signal was for him, but the dinner giver put in with a dry laugh: "Never mind. That is my purveyor general. He has something for me. We'll have good wine to drink his majesty's health in tonight." They went out into a rear corridor, where they found the servant had basket. It contained twenty bottles of the finest wines, which the dinner giver yam ior at Irom 50 kopecks to a ruble a bottle and then sent them to his house by a public porter. It was far from a uniaue case. A regular traffic in choice delicacies, in cluding fruit, poultry and confection ery, is constantly going on between the czar's pantry and the back doors of epicures of the capital, some of whom are well able to pay for their supplies at market prices, but who have the in grained Russian love of graft. ?The table ware is also taken out of thh palace and sold by kitchen servants and waiters. In the reign of Alexander III his artist friend, Bogoluboff prowl ing about in search of curios, came on a beautiful Sevres plate, emblazoned with the Imperial arms and monogram in a junk shop. He bought it for a trifle, and then the dealer said: "If you care for rubbish of that sort I can get you lots of it." "Do. by all means," said Bogoluboff. In a few weeks he had accumulated several dozen specimens of the china and glassware, all stolen from Tsarkoe Selo. One day he asked the czar to come and see his newest curios. The czar was enraged when the mat ter was explained to him. There was considerable clearing out of servants and the police grabbed the old Junk dealer. Then Alexander devised a plan to prevent further looting. He ordered that a catalogue of every article in the palace be prepared so that the imperial property could be checked up at intervals. In Russia there is al ways a way to carry out a reform in appearance and beat it in effect. The a.au-c "inuiaig selected a nice learned old man to make the catalogue an au thor named Gregorowitz. He 'is dead and the czar is dead and Bogoluboff 1b dead, but the catalogue Is still unfinished. One day the writer saw a minting with the imperial stain tv rf tv u. I mitage Museum on it for r. k luuie in a secona-nand furniture store He made some discreet inquiries and the guardians of the museum told him that it was very hard to keep the pic tures.

Governor Hughes refused to comment for pub lication or privately upon the letter of Secretary Taft made public today in which, writing to Representative Her bert Parsons, chairman of the Repub lican general committee of New York county. Mr. Taft deprecated any effort to secure the New York state delega tion in his Interest against that of Gov-, ernor Hughes. The general belief her is that there would be no further op position to the endorsement of Gov ernor Hughes at the spring state con vention to name delegates at large to the national convention. The conflict in view of the case was over the per sonnel of the delegation, the Hughes movement leaders being determined to secure the choice If possible of dele gates at large who will be loyal to the governor and not use his candidacy for trading purposes.

I had eczema for over two. years. I had two physicians, but they only gave me relief for a short time and I cannot enumerate the ointments and lotions I used to no purpose. My ankles were one mass of sores. The itching and burning were so intense that I could not sleep. I could not walk for nearly four months. One dav my husband said I had better try the Cuti cura Remedies. After using them three times. I had the best night's rest In months unless I took an opiate. I used one set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and my ankles healed in a short time. It is now a year since I used Cuti cura, and there has been no return of the eczema. I had a small lump in the corner of my eye for over a year which was very painful and got larger all' the time. I thought I would try Cuticura Soap and Ointment on it, and now it is gone. I am seventy-three years' old and have lived on the farm I now occupy for twenty-seven years.

A bachelor and a bachelor girl are arguing the proposition whether or not Topeka is a "marrying" town. Each, of course, takes the. side of the ques tion which appeals strongest to his per sonal wishes. The bachelor clings jealously to his freedom and says this is not a marrying town. Hope springs eternal in the bachelor girl's breast and she says It is .a marrying town and points with pride to the fact that there are not more than two old maids in any one set. in town. The bachelor, on the other hand, could name forty eligible bachelors and widowers who show no symptoms of matrimonial Indentions. What do you know about that? Forty Count them, Forty bachelors and widowers who are prospering in their business or profession, or the heirs to comfortable fortunes and none of them known to be engaged'.

The annual dinner of the Cathedral club was 2-iven last evening at Guild hall on the third floor of Grace Cathedral. The ladies of the church were the hosts, for they provided the well prepared spread and served it hot and gracefully. The hundred men present, except two or three speak ers, did nothing but gorge themselves and look pleasant The special guest of the evening was Percy Silver, chap lain of the United States army with headquarters at'.' the Leavenworth military prison. ,He was introduced and praised by Bishop Millspaugh. He talked for an hour on "Man's Respon sibility to Man." He was forceful, witty and entertaining ami would turn the serious brow lines of his audience to sudden grins and smiles by a well sprung funny s'tory. At the head table sat Dr. W. X. West, president of the club, and Henry SeandTett, toast master, flanked -by Chaplain Silver and Governor Hoch. The latter was called upon to speak after he had quietly asked the chairman to "let him enjoy himsell." He responded briefly and happily, desiring not to break the effect and charm of the chaplain's New Spring Suits See Them Tomorrow The new suits have fitted or semi-fitted jackets long-skirted and elegant of line. Jackets so shapely, and so beautifully tailor ed that they give style to quite indifferent figures, to say nothing of the distinction conferred upon the naturally graceful form. The three-button cutaway jacket will be favored, also those of English fashion with straight closing. Not to destroy the beauty of line and curve, the designers have kept away from over-ornamentation. Narrow strappings are employed; buttons, mostly of silk or velvet (sometimes looped with silk) are used for closing, and trimming the open seams at edge of jacket; silk tailor braids, or narrow bias folds of silk bind the edges of some jackets; the even-checked cloths admit of bias strappings, and even bias back forms in the jacket; the collar is oftenest a narrow, fiat roll with small notched coat lapels several showing the new double notch; collar facings of satin, with velvet edge are very effective, and a narrow inside fold of white pique is often used. Coat sleeves are plain, or tucked across, with narrow, prettily trimmed cuffs .."Linings are of taffeta in plain color, or softly shaded stripes. Skirts are very smart, and show a much greater variety of styles than those of former seasons circular, circular with hip gore, gored flare, and pleated models all claiming attention. Some have plain bias bands five to seven inches deep at, or above the hem; others show, narrower bands, or straps prettily arranged.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE EVENING, JANUARY '24.1908 It:-7 9 MANY VISITORS. Half Midwinter Guests Are From Out of Town. Big Show Is Proving a Yeritable Loadstone. FOR CHILDREN'S PAY. An Effort to Make Little Ones Happy Tomorrow. Some of the Features That At tract Attention. Titty per cent of the people who pass la the afternoon through the doors of the Auditorium to the Midwinter are from out of town, bo that one of the principal aims of the exposition man agers. to bring visitors to the city is accomplished. The estimate was made Upon the guess of three good Judges, the manager of the Midwinter and two of the ticket takers at the door. One of these latter Is especially qualified to pass an opinion for he has been sta tioned at the doors of the Auditorium at a large number of attractions ana has a wide acquaintance in the city. 'There ar more neonle from the country near Topeka and from out of town points than any year yet,- saia he. 'Thls seems to be to the general ex pression," said Ralph Brigham as he affirmed the statement Just made by his employe. "I made efforts to advertise the show in 150 towns of the state and to es pecially reach the people through the newspapers in those localities. In years past the management secur ed a reduced railroad rate to Topeka on account of the exposition. The rate amounted to one and one-third for the round trip for all points within 200 miles of Topeka and two days out of the six that the rate was In effect the reduced rate was made to apply to all points within the state. It was not better, however, than the two cent fare now charged and in fact It was not as good for it did not con tinue during the whole of the two weeks of the Midwinter and the purchasers of such a ticket were restricted to a shorter stav in the cltv than they now enjoy under a two cent fare. Out of town people can come to Topeka for the Midwinter therefore as cheaply as they did before under the special rate and stay longer. The country people are flocking to Topeka for the attraction in larger numbers than they have ever before. It Is very pronounced. Probably they have only come to realize how good a show is given for 16 cents, or maybe they have more time and more money, hut for whatever reason it may be, the fact is that they are here in larger numbers. Three thousand, three hun dred .and forty-two people Thurs day's attendance. Saturday afternoon is children's day and special provision has been made for their entertainment. The vaude ville performers are going to do their very level best for the little folks, for they can hark back to. the time when tlney. were .children and know. Just i about what boys and girls like to see. If you have not visited the Jell-O booth at the Midwinter and sampled their various dishes you should not fall to do so. Mr. Gilllnllan, general sales manager, is in charge of the dis play and invites every Topeka lady to cample the Jell-O products. A differ ent menu Is served each day. The Wilson Office Supply company's booth Is still headquarters for all busi ness and professional men at the Mid winter. Aside from being a very at tractive display, Mr. Wilson and his assistants cheerfully explain every oftlce appliance exhibited. Few people realize the magnitude of DYSPEP5IA-PR00F How Any Meal Can Bo Thoroughly Enjoyed By Any Stomach. Men, as u rule, are first discovered by their enemies. Their antagonists turn on the searchlight, and the proof of merit will lie In being able to stand the flash. It was only in this way that Mr. White ever knew that dyspepsia was one of Mr. Black's worst enemies. Sit ting face to face at a two-by-four ta ble, he handed his afflicted friend the bill of fare: Oyster Cocktail. Stuffed Olives. Boston Clam Chowder. Strained Gumbo. Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms. Roast Beef Hash. Boiled Ox Tongue with Sauerkraut. Tjobster a la Newbury. Baked Pork and Beans. Combination Crab Salad. Hot Mince Pie. Pineapple Fritters. Mr. White ordered a "little of each." My Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers and a glass of milk. "I had such a big breakfast this morning," he said "that I'll, Just take a bite to keep you company." But Mr. White would not be deceived; "I am afraid you can't stand the gleam, Mr. Black. Why don't you say you have dyspepsia and be done with it? You'll always have that hungry look anyhow as long as you have dyspepsia. Now listen. My stomach was In Just as bad condition as yours at one time. But now I can eat anything, at any time. For in stance, this clam chowder or sirloin steak or even the lobster would be Just as welcome to my stomach as your crackers and milk. You don't realize how this dyspepsia business Is robbing you of your spirit, of your energy and ability to think quickly. I can't help notice it. You haven't the cheer and sociability you had three months ago. Now I'll tell you what to do," and thereat the cheer ful Mr. White took a vial from his pocket and extracted a wee tablet. There, there Is a tablet that contains an Ingredient, one gram of which di gests 3,000 grains of food. For even the worst dyspeptic it's the only thing that really gives relief. The reason Js it relieves, the stomach of nearly all the work It has to do, digests every thing In the stomach and stimulates the gastric Juice. I can't get along without them. They are Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. You can get them anywhere on earth for BOc a package Yes, It is true, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets absolutely stop heartburn, nausea, indigestion, dyspepsia of the worst type, sour stomach, bloaty feel ing and all eructations and Irritation, and freshen and Invigorate the stom ach.

You would be surprised at the many different ways the McCormick Rug company can work up an old carpet. Stop at their booth :and inspect their display. The. Hollcraft booth of cut flowers and blooming plants makes one of the prettiest attractions at the show. Mrs. Hollcraft invites you to purchase cut flowers at her booth as the proceeds go to the U and I club. The Loose-Wiles booth still con tinues to attract the visitors at the Midwinter. Mr. Harvey Pierce, local manager for the company, has spared no. effort to make this booth one of the most Interesting in the hall. If you are a lover of good old fashioned butter milk visit-the booth of the Topeka Pure Milk company who are dispensing this ramous dfink in addition to samples of their Red Cross butter and Ice cream. All the very latest offering of spring wall paper and interior decoration ara displayed by C. M. Hill at the Mldwlntec. Visit his booth and in spect the new designs.

Mr. Morrison is receiving hundreds of Inquiries daily regarding this lens. KILL THE PROFESSORS. Harvard Teacher Says There Are En tirely Too Many of Them. Chicago, Jan. 24. In an address to the Germanistlc society of Chicago In Fullerton hall last night Prof, Hugo Muensterberg of Harvard university, declared that American universities would be better off If two-thirds of the professors were killed. He said: "There seems to be something weak and mollycoddle about our whole acad emic system. In our highest institutions of learning we find, with a few notable exceptions only second class men. And we may be sure that second class school masters never will build up first class scholarships. An increase In the salaries of the assistant professors and instructors in our colleges and universities by a few hundred dollars a year will never ac complish anything. What is needed is great premiums at the top. One of the greatest evils from which our American universities suffer is too great air-abundance! of 'men;-'-!As-soon as an institution gets some money the first thought is to add more men to the faculty, to outdo some neighboring institution. Every one of our American universities would be nearer to the Ideal If it would kill two-thirda of Its instructors and professors. THAT 'TERRIBLE" ACCIDENT. Story Printed In Kansas City About a Mythical Wakarusa Woman. A tragic story about a Wakarusa wo man who doesn't exist appeared in last evening's Kansas City Star. The fol lowing from the Kansas City Journal this morning explains It: "Leaped for Her Husband," reads tho big head on the front page of .one of yesterday's afternoon papers, and be neath it recited pathetically for nearly one column a throbbing, heart-interest tale of a Mrs. Sarah Beaman of Waka rusa Kan., who dashed herself over the balcony into the first floor of the union depot to intercept her husband who was coming in the gate with a young woman. It was a very pretty tale, and well told. But unfortunately there was no Mrs. Sarah Beaman from Wakarusa. Kan., In the union depot yesterday. No wo man has ever Jumped from the balcony to the main floor. Depot Detective David Bradley, who Is the author of the yarn, has sprung it on every new reporter in the depot for the past two years. Practically every newspaper man in the west,-who has ever spent a week on a Kansas City paper, recognized the story as .printed, and laughed as he said: "At last Bradley caught a fish." When the afternoon papers were de livered to E. J. Sanford, depot super intendent, in his office yesterday, he rang the bell for Bradley. The detec tive entered making faces to keep from laughing. What's this about a woman Jumping down the balcony and breaking her leg?" inquired Sanford. "Did that get In the paper?" cried Bradley, and right there he fell across a table and roared. When he had gone out, Sanford laughed. She Ate Matches and Died. Wichita. Jan. 24 Ai.'een Sites, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Sites: died Thursday. The child's death was caus ed by poison from eating matches. The deceased, who was less than two years of age, secured several matches Sunday and ate the heads of them.

A lively discussion arose over the merits of senate bill No. 51, by Senator Simons, designed to correct certain er rors in the Barnes county high school bill, 43 counties being Involved In the complications caused by a misappre hension of the meaning of section 10, chapter 397, session laws of 1905. Sen ator Noftzger declared that If this bill Is enacted it will compel every one of the 43 counties to vote over again at the next election. Young suggested that the bill should be so amended as to legalize the high schools already ex isting, so that a new election would not be necessary. It was finally agreed to report the bill back to the senate with a recommendation for Its passage, sub ject to amendment and debate. The Stubbs house bill having been disposed of, the senate again resolved Itself into committee of the whole. Senator Tucker of Greenwood In the chair. Senate bill No. 55. By Martin of Woodson An act declaring Allen county, state of Kansas, to be In the class of counties named in chapter 185 of session laws 1905, and providing for the appointment of a county auditor in said county, was stricken from the calendar. Three bills introduced by Senator Getty were acted upon favorably and reported back to the senate with the recommendation that they pass as amended. They were as follows: Senate bill No. 119 An act relat ing to the acquisition and operation by cities of the first class having more than 60,000 population of the water works supply plant and property of any person, company or corporation in any case where the franchise of such person, company or corporation to supply any such city of the first class with water has expired or may hereafter expire. Senate bill No. 36 A nact authoriz ing cities of the first class having a population of more than 50,000 to pur chase, construct and contract for the. construction of waterworks, gas, elec tric light and heating plants, and to Issue bonds for such purposes. Senate bill No. 72 An act to amend section 1 of chapter 146 of the session laws of the state of Kansas of 1891. relating to mechanics' lines. Senate bill No. 124, from the com mittee on education, was Introduced and advanced to third reading under suspension of the rules. Young said the object of this bill was to avoid causing any deputy tax assessor to perjure himself, by striking out of the present law the clause requiring every deputy assessor to file an affidavit that in the preparation of his returns he had not been in any manner assisted. This, he declared, is impossible, as the assessors include the lame, the halt and the blind, as well as those lacking education, some of whom sim ply must have aid. Senate bill No. 125, from the same committee and also advanced to third reading, authorizes the city of Fron tenac to make an annual levy of 30 mills on the dollar for school pur poses. Without the passage of this bill it would be necessary to close Its schools this year.

Senate bill No. 7, by Young, in relation to the purchase of bo ds by the school fund commission, was dis posed of by the adoption of a motion by Waggener to strike out the enact ing clause. Kansas corporations owning real es tate and personal property In other states, which were confronted by a dou ble tax under the provisions of the tax law passed at the last regular session of the legislature, will probably secure relief through a bill recommended for passage by the senate committee of the whole. The bill was amended today In several respects, ordered printed and placed on the calendar and will come up for consideration tomorrow morning. An amendment proposed by Senator Waggener provides that before real es tate or personal property In any other state shall be deducted. It must be made to appear that it has been duly listed for taxation In the other state. In the Journal's report of yesterday with reference to senate bill No. 42, In troduced by Senator Brewer, which provides for a recording tax on mort gages on real estate. It was stated that Senator Brewer was opposed to this measure, which is an error, as the sen ator Is supporting the bill with the ut most vigor.

FOR TRADE SCHOOLS. Plan for General Industrial Education Launched at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 24. Before an audi ence of 500 representatives of the manufacturing, commercial and edu cational Interests of the middle west, four men last night presented the first comprehensive programme of a new industrial education for the youngster, who works with his hands. The occasion was the opening ses sion of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, held at a dinner at the Auditorium hotel. The four men were Theodora Roosevelt, president of the United States, by letter; Charles W. Elliot, president of Harvard university; Jas. W. Van Cleave, president of the Na tional Manufacturers' association, and Henry L. Prltchett, president of the Carnegie foundation. On the boy who goes into the trades, said the speakers, depends a mere possibility to retain the industrial supremacy given by the country's nat ural resources. And toward the boy who goes into the trades, they added, the educational efforts of the next decade must be directed. "My interest in this movement," wrote President Roosevelt, "arises more than all else out of the desire to see the American boy have his best opportunity for development." Direct practical suggestions for the establishment of a system of trade schools as a part of the educational equipment was the underlying note of the addresses. Briefly summarised, the programme outlined by the various speakers appeared as follows: Intro duction of trade school training in elementary schools throughout the country. Establishment of a combination of school and shop Instruction to occupy the time between the ages of 14 and 17. Advancing the compulsory education age to 17 or 18. Establishment of a system by which elementary school teachers shall "sort children according to their destina tion." Abolishment of the idea of "abso lute democracy" in the public schools. Formation of a special educational commission to organize a trade school system. Creation of a national commissioner of Industrial education. He Demanded a Jury. Chicago, Jan. 24. Dr. Benjamin L. Reltman, who led the march of the "unemployed" yesterday, and was ar rested after a fight with the police, was arraigned in police court today, on charges of disorderly conduct and inciting a riot. He demanded a Jury trial and the case was continued un til January 27. Left Millions to a School. Peoria, 111., Jan. 24. The will of the late Mrs. Lydia Bradley was filed for probate yesterday, disposing of her estate, valued at $3,000,000. The en tire property goes to the support of the Bradley Polytechnic which she established. Mrs. Bradley bequeathed a total of $5,000 to 60 or 60 heirs who will institute suit to annul the will. Aired Woman Burned to Death. Bartlettsvtlle, Okla., Jan. 24. While burning brush on their farm In the Osage nation, three miles west of Bartlettsville today, Mrs. George Moy er, aged 65, was burned to death, and her husband, aged 68, was fatally burned. Mrs. Moyer's dress caught fire and Moyer waa burned in trying to save her. WILL BEPRIUARY Now Seems Certain That a Com promise la Coming. Conference Committees Are Named This Afternoon. MAY HAVE AGREED. Mr. Stubbs Denies That Deal lias Been Made. Says He Is Sti'.l Opposed to November Primary. Speaker Simmons this afternoon an nounced the following members .of the house conferees on the primary bill: S. B. Haskins of Johnson. S. L. Ryan of Brown. W. A. Morgan of Hodgeman. President Fitzgerald of the senate ap pointed the following on the part of the senate: W. S. Fitzpatrick of Chautauqua. Fred Dumont Smith of Edwards. The above announcement of commit tees is taken to mean that an agree ment on the primary has been reached, and that all that remains for the com mittee to do Is to ratify the agreement. The "spilt primary" will be retained; that is, the senatorial primary will be held in November. Otherwise the bill will be practically the same as the Stubbs bill. None of the conferees on the part of the house have taken an active part in the primary fight. Senator Fitzpatrick represents the senate organization on the committee, and Senator Smith rep resents the Stubbs bill. The fact that Smith favors the November primary indicates that Stubbs has conceded that' point.' W. R. Stubbs still insists that he has entered into no agreement. "I am not in favor of the November primary for United States senator: I have conceded nothing. I did not know who were to be on the conference com mittee, and do not know what they will do.' I asked to be put on the com mittee myself. I know of no agreement having been made." The final vote on the two cent fare bill in the house waa 61 for the two cent fare and 53 against, but as it re quired 82 votes, or two-thirds, to get the bill restored to the calendar, the bill was defeated. The following was the roll call: For Adams, Banks, Blaine, Boggs, Brandon, Brown, Clark.

Kirtland has introduced a Joint resolution in the house of representatives requiring the executive council of the state to pro vide permanent quarters for the legis lative committees In- the state house. Every room in the state house is now occupied, but it is Mr. Kirtland's Idea that some of the departments are spread out too much. He wants the council to condense the work of some bulky departments. The house of representatives on Thursday afternoon passed a couple of omnibus bills. One omnibus con tained the Kansas, City waterworks bill, 'and some of the tax law amend ments. The other omnibus contained the law limiting the tax levies. This cleans up all the amendments to the tax law which the tax commission wanted, so far as the house is con cerned. The state board of railroad com missioners is at outs with- W. R. Stubbs, and gave out a 1 statement yesterday for the purpose of showing WE ARE The Sole Agents FOR THE W. L. DOUGLAS FAMOUS $2.50, $3.00, $3.50 SHOES The Best on Earth NEW SPRING STYLES In All Leathers Jnst Arrived 617 Kansas Avenue up Mr. Stubbs and making him ridi culous. The railroad commissioners say that Mr. Stubbs Is trying to work off some shopworn stock on them with his resolution providing for a grain rate investigation. The fol lowing Is the board's statement: "House resolution number 7, intro duced by W., R. Stubbs and passed by the house, cites the board of rail road commissioners to the fact that the rates on wheat from Missouri river points to the Gulf ports is much lower per ton per mile than those prevailing from interior Kansas points to such destination and directs the board to employ such measures as will compel the railroads operating from the Kansas wheat belt to the Gulf of Mexico to give that section of the country as low freight rates on grain as are in force from' said Missouri river points. At the 1907 session of the legisla ture an act was passed giving the board authority to bring original ac tions or intervene In actions already brought before' the Interstate Com merce commission affecting Kansas rates. This act was passed primarily for the purpose of enabling the board of railroad commissioners to take ac tion on the grain rate situation and under this act the board by Its attor ney, S. S. Ashbaugh and by Mr. A. E. Helm, its counsel, intervened In and prosecuted a case before the Inter state Commerce commission setting up in detail the disparity between the interior Kansas grain rates to the Missouri river rates. Mr. Stubbs was an important witness in behalf of the board in this hearing. In the prose cution of this case a considerable amount of the board's contingent fund was expended and nothing that money or the board's influence could do tending towards a correction of the abuses was left undone. The de cision of the Interstate Commerce commission was handed down on July 8, 1907 and entered Into a very exhaustive resume of the prevailing rate situation. After the commis sion rendered Its decision for a -material reduction in the rates direct to the Gulf from interior Kansas, points It says: 'We are confirmed in the Impres sion that these rates will be Just by comparing them with the cost of mov ing to the port of export grain from every grain producing section of the United States.' "And with reference to the Missouri river basing line rate it says: "The decisions of the supreme court of the United States which are too well known to need citation here put it beyond question that a rate like that from Kansas City to Galveston whicn is actually forced by controlling com petition, can not be taken as the stand ard by which to estimate the reason ableness of rates where such compe tition does not exist. We are com pelled to find the fact of this compete tion and we must therefore hold that the claim of undue discrimination is not made out." "The effect of this decision of the Interstate commerce commission was that grain traffic heretofore moving via Kansas City moved through the Wich ita gateway to such an extent that the facilities at that city for the handling of the traffic were inadequate to the proper handling thereof to the extent of millions of dollars and the farmers of Kansas were saved better than two million dollars annually. "In view of this recent decision of the Interstate commerce commission covering the same identical issues thought to be raised by Mr. Stubbs' resolution, the board would certainly hesitate to bring another action under the resolution anT were such an action brought, the Interstate commerce com mission surely SVould, deem It res adjudicata." Representative Sourbeer "of Labette county today received a telegram an nouncing the death of his sister, Mrs. Henrietta A. Carl, of Harrlsburg, Pa. Chase county is going to make a strong bid for the location of the gov ernment fish hatchery which congress has decided to locate in Kansas.

There is no bet ter place in the state for a state fish hatchery than Cljase county. Several of the finest fish streams in-the state are In that county, and the railroad facilities are excellent. LET HUGHES HAVE IT. Tart Writes a Letter to New York Republican Friends. Washington, Jan. 24. Secretary Taft is carrying out the policy In New York that he has directed his managers to follow in other states where there are candidates for the Republican nomina tion for the presidency. In a letter to Representative Herbert Parsons, chair man of the Republican county com mittee of New York the secretary makes it clear he does not want his friends to prosecute a campaign in New York against Governor Hughes. The letter, which was made public by Representative Parsons follows: "My Dear Parsons: I am aware that you and many other friends of mine In New York state who are also friends of Governor Hughes, have hestitated as to the course to pursue in respect to the Republican nomination for the presidency. I wish you and them to know that as far as I am concerned there should be no embarrassment in this regard. I have uniformly urged friends of mine not to attempt to di vide In my interest the delegation from any state which has a candidate of its own. Since Governor Hughes has in dicated his willingness to accept the Republican nomination I now make the same request of you and my other friends In your state. However, I would greatly deprecate a contest which might imperil Republican victory in New York in November. Anything that I can do to avoid this I am anx ious to do.

In laying the foundation of its case' against the Standard Oil company in the suit for the annullment of the company's char ter, the-, government continued today the examination of E. Dana Durand, deputy COmmi-SHlnner nt r-nr-nnraKnna Mr. Durand testified in the course of J an irtAnt OI certain omciai tar iffs of the Chicago Eastern Illinois railway that while the shipments of oil were way billed at 11 cents per hundred a 1 J.tne nlPnents were carried at 8-4 cents per hundred and the bal ance, at 6 cents per hundred.' Mr, Durand explained that the collec iwfU.?ners the railway which he exhibited showed that the amount act ually paid by the Standard Oil com pany for such shipments as he referred m wa less than the rate fixed in the official tariffs filed with the commis sion. T T.Mr-T5Purand testified that Athens, Blue Ridge, Columbus and Elberton, in Georgia; Humboldt, Springfield, and McKenzie in Tennessee; and Eufaula in Alabama, took the rate of 6 cents per hundred pounds on oil from Whit ing, Ind., although the regular tariff rate was 11 cents. Mr: Durand said that in nearly every instance the actual rate paid by the Standard was less than the rates fixed by tariffs of the Chicago' Eastern Illinois road. The witness submitted a copy of an account between the Chicago East ern Illinois railway and the Standard Oil company for oil shipped from Whit ing to Evansville, Ind., between February- 1 and 15, 1905. This account showed a collection from the Standard of 8 per hundred walle the waybills indicated a rate of. 11 cents per 100. "We think the waybills showed a rate of 8V! cents," insisted Attorney Rosen thal. "I made the examination of this rec ord myself," said Mr. Durand, "and can not be mistaken." ARMY CHANGES.

If language is a true measure of conquest,- as has been contended, then Anglo-Saxon speech is rapidly con quering the European continent, ac cording to the investigation of a con tributor' to the current Harper's Weekly. An Anglicism introduced Into Italy a few years ago created little short of a literary tumult in Rome. The first subway in the Eternal City, a short passage under the Quirinal hill, was opened to the public, who promptly christened It "il tunnel." Patriotic in dignation was awakened. "Tramway" had been accepted, but angry profes sors and students hesieed the Roman papers, demanding to know what had become of "traforo," or "galleria," good Italian words, and where this English madness was to end. Never theless, "il tunnel" thus far holds its own. A Kentucky Breakfast.. "Not to be outdone by the presi dent, whose recent b'ar dinner at the White House.

STOCKS The stock market was easier in tone at the outset on a resumption of yesterday's late selling, but the losses were mostly limited to small fractions. American Smelting advanced 4 point, which it soon surrendered and both Louisville and Nashville and Southern Pacific lost point. A further dip in prices were followed by a good rally in which American Smelting was lifted a point, but the list again weakened materially in sympathy with the severe decline in the high priced coal road stocks. United States Express fell 9 points. Central Railway of New Jersey 84 points, Delaware and Hudson 44 points,' Baltimore and Ohio 14 points and Reading, New York Central, Great North eren preferred. Union Pacific, Rock Is land preferred. St. Louis and San Fran cisco second preferred and American Su gar l point. The market waa quiet ana a trifle below the low point at 11 o'clock. The dullness of the demand allowed prices to slip back, losses reaching a point in Atchison and Corn Products preferred, 1 points in Westlnghouse Electric and 2 points in Westinghouse Electric preferred. Utah Copper rose 1 point. Bonds were irregular. Price movements were without signifi cance, the culmination of the forenoon de clines left the market without effective lead and different stocks shifted about aimlessly on a narrow range. The tone in general was firmer, a decline in North ern Pacific and a rally of 3 points In Del aware and Hudson having a beneficial ef fect on the general list. Prices fluctuated uncertainly, the rally from the low point not being well held. United States Pipe preferred rose 2 points. Ranee of Price on Stocks. Furnished by J. E. Gall, Commission?

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALFRIDAY EVENING-, JANUARY 24, 1908. I- T i t I1

i Flnnegan Till me, Fogerty, an how did Cassidy receive th' black oir Fogerty Thot wur a result of mix In' his drinks. Flnnegan Ye don't tell me. Fogerty Tis. He axed fer an orange ale In Clancy's saloon, an Clancy handed him an' Oirish punch. MRS. DOLBY'S TALKS. At the supper table Mrs. Dolby noti fied the Deacon that the kerosene wan almost gone, and when he got up tif took the can and went down to the grocery. He had got a gallon of oil and started for home when two of the men hanging around the store got into a dispute as to whether the Canada this tle was a vegetable or a flower, and he toijoed for an hour to give his opinion on the matter. He had left Mrs. Dolby Einsins: "I've Got a Home Over There," and clearing off the table, and there was nothing to be anxious about. He looked for her as he entered the kitchen, but she wasn't there. He passed Into the sitting room to find her kneeling before an old black trunk she Baa got down from the garret and packed al most full of her clothes. She also had her bonnet and shawl on, as If cn- temDlatine a journey. The Deacon saw, but had nothing to ray. During the day some boy had lefL a handbill at the house announcing that Carter Brown were soing out of bus- lness and were prepared to knock nriees endways. He sat down and picked it up, and had read it over for the third time when Mrs. Dolby turned on him with. "Samuel, you don't ask what I am do ing, but you must suspect that I am going to leave your house. Time and again I have told you that I couldn't live with a pirate, and now the end has come. Tes. Samuel, I am going to live the rest of my days with my sister Mercy in Indiana. She has told me a hundred times over that if you ever got so wicked I couldn't stand It any long er to come to her." The Deacon heard, but he didn't look up. The hand-bill said red flannel would now be sold at 20 cents a yard, end he was wondering If he shouldn't get some for undershirts. He had got as far as to figure that he would need two yards and a half for a large and liberal shirt, when Mrs. Dolby folded an old black skirt into the trunk and tat down on it to say: "I sorter hate to leave you, Samuel, but duty calls. That is, I can't make out that it is my duty to live with a horse thief and a villain any longer. The best wife in the world can bear only so much. I shall think of you often when I get way off there, and al though you haven't kissed me for twenty-one years, five months and fourteen days, as I was figuring up vesterday, you'll also miss me. There won't be anything on my conscious, but you'll wish and wish you hadn't done it As near as the Deacon could make out from her last words he had dona something somethinc partaking of the awful something for which he could not hope for forgiveness, and he waited in considerable anxiety to hear what it was. Mrs. Dolby didn't leave him long in susptn;;e. "I was doing up the dishes, Samuel, and wondering who you would marry for a second "wife when I died, when Mrs. Partridge came in to borrow an peg to settle th.Mir coffer- for breakfast. I had handed her the egg and was say ing that I shouldn't a mite wonder if we had an earthquake before the week was out, when she began smoothing niv hair and calling me poor thing and saying that it was too bad you acted so. Of course, I had to ask her what she. meant by that, and after a good deal of coaxing she told me what she knew. I fainted away, and when I came to she was gone. Then I got the trunk down and began packing. As I said before, I can't put up with the pirate business any longer." The deacon was now considerably in terested, but he didn't propose to give himself away. The handbill announc ed paper collars at five cents a box, and he made up his mind that they could go no lower even if Wall street had to go out to work at a dollar a day. Mrs. Dolby lifted out an old yel low waist from the trunk and inspect ed it and put it back and then con tinued: "You went over to see Joab Tyler the other day about some grass seed. You didn't come home for three hours, and when you did you were all sopping wet. It had rained while you were gone and I thought it was that, and I made you hurry into dry clothes and drink a bowl of catnip tea. I. did what a good wife should do, and I never suspected any scull-duggery. Samuel, why didn't you tell me all and ask me to forgive you I might have lingered over it, but I should have forgiven in the end, same as all wives do. Why didn't you?" The grass seed episode had passed out of the deacon's mind, but now it returned, and he knew what Mrs. Dol by was driving at. For this reason his interest in the hand-bill suddenly be came more intense. "You don't say a word, Samuel, but I can answer for you. Mrs. Tyler told Mrs. Partridge all about It, and you know them to be women who won't He. In going around to the kitchen door when you got there you stopped at the well for a arink of water. The plat form gave way and you went down. Mrs. Tyler heard you yell out as you went down, but she couldn't move to save her life. She says she felt her hair curling just as it does on the tongs. Mr. Tyler was away from home, you had scared her almost to death, and there you were down in the well, with the water up to your chin. Samuel, I always thought that when a man's life was in danger he thought of the Bible and sung Gospel hymns." At this, Mrs. Dolby broke down. She had wanted to break down earlier in the game, but her emotions had rs fused to. While she was sobbing into a pair of her stockings that she was going to use for chinking as she pack ed, the deacon braced up for the next chapter. "But you didn't think of those good things, Samuel. You whooped and shouted and yelled. Mrs. Tyler finally VWHV OIO YOU CRAB HIM AND BACK HIM UP THE MOUSE. got to the door, and there she heard you going on. You called her husband a fat-head. You said she was a cross eyed, wasp-waisted thingabob. You cussed the whole platform and the well. You said if you ever got out alive you'd bust the shanty. Mrs. Tyler says she was at a circus once when the ele phant escaped, but the tragedy didn't begin with what happened down her well. She couldn't have got out to help you to save your life. You know she has trouble with her heart, and one of your awful oaths hurled at her might have finished her off. For two hours, Samuel for two mortal hours, you kept it up. When Mrs. Tyler had counted three hundred and twenty of your swear-words she ran down cel lar and sat on the vinegar barrel, and that's where her husband found her when he came home. Sam Samuel There were four sobs and as many as 18 tears this time, and Mrs. Dolby found his collar .wilting a bit as he hung to the circular and tried to brave the thing out. "And why did you do it, Samuel?" was asked. "And when Mr. Tyler fin ally came home and let the bucket down and drew you up, why did you grab him and back him up against the house and say that you would choke thunder out of him? And when you turned from him and saw his innocent goat hovering around, why did you pick the poor animal up by the hind legs and throw him over the garden fence? Explain these things, Samuel. If you had a brain-storm and lost your head for a time why not tell your wife so?" The deacon wasn't explaining any thing. That hand bill had been read through no less than 16 times, but it still offered illimitable resources. Mrs. Dolby started more sobs, but checked them when half-grown and said: "That must be it. The sudden fright, and fall and the cold water gave you a brain-storm, and you was not really responsible for what you said. Under those circumstances, I shan't leave you. It's my duty to stay right here and guard and console you, and I'll un pack the trunk and you can take it back up stairs." (Copyrighted 1908.) HOMETOWN HAPPENINGS.-" Remember, that the Banner takes wood on subscription green wood, dry wood, fence rails, old stumps anything that will burn.

Our thanks are dua to farmer George Swift for a nice large pump kin that he brought us in one week. Thanks, George. Baked pumpkin doesn't arouse any new ambitions in an editor, but it means a week's fod der. When that is gone some kind soul may bring in a squash. Mrs. Henry Jackson gave a pop corn festival at her beautiful resi dence on Lincoln avenue one night last week, and we were numbered among the guests. After we had eat en two quarts' of the freshly-popped corn we recited Sheridan's Ride and received many compliments for our rendition. We understand that Mr. Henry Shorter, the grocer, who sells kero sene at a cent a gallon less than any one else, is laid up at nis house from sticking a rusty nail in his foot. We trust that nothing serious will result. We couldn't have a Fourth of July in this town without Henry. It is his respected wife who can twist a chick-' en's head off with, three motions of her hand and arm. Providence sure ly has such people in its care. Certain persons in Hometown who seem to wish to create trouble are ar guing that both the mayor and the postmaster are bigger men socially than a weekly editor, but there's no use in discussing the matter and caus ing heartburnings. We, of course, stand at the head in-Hometown, but we never use our position to patron ize or humiliate. M. Quad. Friend What makes you feel that you will have a long illness?

Senator Teller Defines the Govern ment's Financial Policy. Washington, Jan. 24. Senator Stone of Missouri yesterday after noon presented statistics of govern ment deposits in National banks to show that the distribution of money during the recent currency stringency was not "equitable," as contemplated by the law governing the treasury de partment. He declared that the west and south were discriminated against while New York and Boston were fa vored. His speech was on his resolu tion pending in the senate directing a committee to investigate and report the facts in these transactions. Mr. Stone declared that the treas ury department had In 3 months Health Economy. u laiumet lading 'ovaer Best by.

Morgan. placed 47 million dollars in the banks of New York, "in order that they might loan it out," and St. Louis bankers had told him that while their money was out of their reach in the New York banks they had gone to that city and had bought currency there, paying from 1 to 2 per cent for it. "Three per cent was paid," declared Senator Teller. Mr. Teller upon the con clusion of Mr. Stone's speech said he believed the recent financial trouble had resulted from the banking system of the country and had not grown out of the adminstration of law. "It is possible," he said, "that the treasury department did not distrib ute the money in proportion either to the banking capital or the population oui mere was one storm center of the whole trouble. We did not need any money in the west. Colorado did not need money although it is stated that Colorado banks had ill, 000, 000 in New York banks. If true, that was their own fault and there were other cities in which they might have kept their funds. The question before the department was how It could best serve the public interest in the distri- Dution of this money. "In my judgment," the Colorado senator declared, "the secretary of the treasury could not have served the country better than by putting the money in New York city. There were 12 or 15 trust companies there that were in condition to go to the wall. They needed the money. The banks came to their relief. If they had fail ed there would have been a failure of banks practically all over the country. r The people in the west had .as much interest in .maintaining the integrity of these trust companies as the people I in New York. j "This is the age of criticism of peo ple who have money.

FOR THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE Not only has there been no specific for chronic kidney disease, but physicians and pharmacists have had no treatment for In flammation of the kidneys. In evidence of this let us quote from one of the latest authorities, James Tyson, M. D., Prof, of Medicine in the University of Penn. In his latest work (1904, rage 156) he plainly says, as to curative measures to restore the kidney to its normal condi tion:"! BELIEVE THERE ARE NONE He further says the change from the first stage (the curative period) to the sec ond or chronic stage (considered incura ble) is probably established in all cases by the sixth month. Fulton's Renal Compound is the first and only thing ever known that controls inflammation of the kidneys and arrests further destruction; a-d it has this effect :n both stages of the disease. How can thoughtful people afford to think of anything else at any stage of kid ney trouble? Due to 'a deplorably lack of knowledge vw l oci luuoiirso ui m Li i it" y aisease and a common disposition to treat it lightly kidney deaths have increased unt'l they now reach 63,000 annually over a 170 per day.

Ask for Bl-Monthly Bulletin of late recoveries Ladies free tonight to the skating at Music hall. Marshall's band. There will be an entire new bill of vaudeville presented at the Midwinter next week. A case of scarlet fever has been quarantined at the home of W. H. Cravens at 1305 East Tenth avenue. Barton Holland, son of J. C. Holland, who was operated on at Stormont hos pital yesterday for appendicitis, is said to be improving nicely. Every hospital in the city is crowd ed to capacity and has been for the past few weeks, most of the patients, however, are from out of the city. At the annual meeting of the Cathe dral club of Grace cathedral held last night. Dr. William N. West was elect ed president for the ensuing year. A drunken woman at Sixth and Kan sas avenue last night created a disturb ance with loud and boisterous talking until she was taken in by an officer. The top of the elevator shaft at the National hotel's remodelled build ing has at last been reached. This shaft is thirty feet above the floor of the roof garden. The bootblack quartette at the Ma jestic continues to attract the crowds. After once hearing these clever singers it is almost impossible to resist the temptation to go again Harry Thornton, with Mrs. Thorn ton and their little pickininny in the sketch entitled "A Mall Order Wife," have one of the best turns on the Novelty bill this week. There is a prospect of skating on the ponds adjacent to the city and the river as well In the near future and the hearts of the school boys and girls beat joyously in anticipation. John Klelnhans who has charge of the pure food booth at the Midwinter exposition is developing into quite a lecturer. He has an interesting story to tell and he tells it well. The street commissioner's force Is busily engaged in repairing the sewer flushing tanks In the Fifth and Sixth wards where a number of the catch basins are in bad condition. The freezing temperatures of the past 48 hours is a reminder to the baby sparrows which were hatched during the recent spell of summer weather of a sad mistake made by their parents. J. H. Foucht, a North Topeka hard ware merchant who owns the corner lot adjoining the North Topeka Are station has offered to sell the lot to the city for J2.000 on the installment plan or otherwise. And now then comes the ruling of the state board of health that pop must be labeled according to the con tents of the bottle although the base ball season will not open for a. num ber of months. The largest crowd yet recorded at tended the Midwinter exposition last night. This show is growing in pop ularity and long before it is over all records of previous years in point of attendance will be eclipsed. The weather last night became de cidedly cooler but this morning the abundance of clouda kept the atmos phere much warmer. The present conditions weuld indicate that a sncwstorm is somewhere near. The Topeka -Desiccating company is raising objections to the way the new sanitary law 'was amended when it was adopted by the council last Mon day evening. j.The ordinance may come up for a third time before the council. The following births have been re ported by the board of health: Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Sanderson, 132 North Western avenue, girl; Mr. and Mrs. Gill, 335 Michigan avenue, girl; Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Wonderly, 314 Han cock street, boy. George L. Douglass, the speaker of the famous Douglass house in the legis lative war of 1893, and the man who broke down the doors of Representative hall with a sledge hammer, is in To peka for a short visit. This is the first time he has been here for twelve years Dr. S. J. Crumbine in an address be fore the Kansas State Bottlers associa tion yesterday afternoon informed the bottlers they would be required under Kansas laws to put labels on their pro ducts telling exactly what ingredients are used in. the manufacture of their goods. The new asphalt plant operated by the city is being worked overtime in an attempt to repair the pavement where it is in the worst condition but as there are many more plumbers in the city than there are employes about the as phalt plant the area of bad pavement is growing. with th flron in the temperature which has occurred: during the past forty-eight hours the name Midwinter as applied to the exposition now in progress at the audStorium does not seem so much out of place as it did the opening day. The Indications are that Cy Iceland's supply of cold storage apples which were so much in evidence at the ses sion of the legislature last winter has been exhaustedL There has been no free distribution among the members of the house so far this season. Harry C. Butterly of Berden, Okla., is in Topeka for the purpose of at tending the funeral of his grand father, Henry Burgess, who died in California, but whose body was brought to this city for burial. Mr. Butterly is a son-in-law of A. W. Hopkins. m A Jog in the southern end of Topeka avenue is causing a good deal of war fare among the residents of the street. The street is now being paved and the residents on one side want the jog re mmH wtifiA tbn "other siders' are equally as strenuous in their objections to the change in the present plans. Dick Cooley of the Topeka baseball team has received the signature of Ed die Brennan, the little catcher who worked here near the end of the sea son. In a letter which accompanied the contract Brennan reports that his foot which was spiked near the end of the season has completely recovered. "I am not in favor of the selective telephones which are being installed by the Independent Telephone com pany," remarked a woman who is on a party line. "I don't have an oppor tunity to get out much and 'listening in' is the only way that I have to keep in touch with the gossip of the neigh borhood." The city has lost 30 tons of concrete and doesn't know where to find it ac cording to the report of City Engineer John Rogers. The material was placed about the piling of the Central avenue bridge across Soldier creek last spring for the purpose of strengthening the structure and since then has disappear ed supposedly in the quicksand which is plentiful in the bed of the stream.
