Split Primary Feature Is Finally Eliminated. OIL ON THE WATERS. All Nominations Will Be Made in August. Lieutenant Governor Fiizeerald Makes a Suggestion. Senatorial Nominee Selected by Plurality in Districts. The house and senate conference committees on the primary election have this afternoon finally reached a basis of compromise which clears up all difficulty and insures the enactment of a primary election law at the pres ent special session of the legislature. The senate yields the "split primary" feature for which it has been contend ing. The United States senator will be nominated at the time of the regular primary in August. The candidate who receives thie plurality of the vote in a plurality of the counties of the Btate is declared the party nominee, regardless of whether that county eends a Republican, Democrat or Populist to the legislature. In other words. If there are more Republican candidates for the legis lature instructed for Stubbs than there are for Long, or Hoch, or Bristow, Stubbs is the party nominee, and it makes no difference how many of the Stubbs counties fail to elect Republi can representatives. This proposition for compromise was proposed to W. R. Stubbs by Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald at the conference held some days ago. Mr Stubbs at that time rejected the proposal. It Is said that J. L. Bristow and Cyrus Leland were opposed to the plan, though Mr. Stubbs himself looked with favor upon it. Today, whenthe senate conferees withdrew from the committee meeting:, they were again asked by Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald to present his plan to the house conferees. After some discussion. Senator Fitzpatrlck agreed to do this, and -when it was suggested in the conference committee, W. R. Stubbs and Robert Stone were called before the committee and agreed to the proposition. It is expected that the party caucus will be accepted by the senate as the senate has not been especially violent in opposition to this plan. This outcome of the fight will be re garded as a victory for W. R. Stubbs, who gets nearly everything he has been fighting for. When the conference committee brings in its report late this after noon or this evening, it will probably report the Stubbs bill substantially as passed by the house with the amend ment which was suggested by Lieu tenant Governor Fitzgerald. Some say that the senate conferees, and especially Senator Fitzpatrick, were induced to consent to. the con cession on behalf of the senate be cause they felt that the senate was likely to break away from the Cald well split primary in case another conference committee should b,e nec essary. It thus became necessary for the present conference committee to reach an agreement, and Senator Fitzpatrick and W. R. Stubbs were brought together and induced to ac cept the proposition. Before the Agreement. There was trouble in the legislative conference committee on the primary flection law. They had a furious disagreement at the Tuesday night meeting of the committee, which was so heated that the meeting dissolved without doing anything. Senator F. Dumont Smith accused the committee of being dilatory, and marking time when it should make ai report. Representative S. L. Ryan said: "If anybody on this committee has been dilatory it is Senator Smith." Smith remarked that the gentleman from Brown was a lobster, or words to that effect, and the gentleman from Brown proceeded to read the riot act to Smith for not attending the meet lng of the conference committee. When it was over, the atmosphere was o full of electricity tnat the com mittee realized it would be useless to talk business any further. Another meeting was held this morning at 9 o'clock. This morning there was a clash between Senator Smith and W. A. Morgan, the Demo cratic member. Smith wanted Morgan to join the committee in a unanimous report. CouM Smith get a unanimous report, he would be free to break away from his pledges to the square deal crowd In the senate. Smith told Mor gan that the Republican members of the committee were going to get to gether and settle it anyway, and he might as well come across. Morgan absolutely refused, and intimated he would consider it an honor to disagree with the other members of the com mittee. Reports are tnat most of the morning session was devoted to the operation of "laying down on Mor gan." After this morning's session of the committee, which lasted only a short time, Mr. Ryan appeared in the house looking glum and determined, and made the statement to his friends that he would never consent to a re port in favor of the split prima'ry. This may be the result of r.is row with Senator Smith. Mr. Ryan said he was in favor of reporting a dis agreement as soon as possible. Soon afterwards, Mr. Ryan disap peared, and it was said that he was off somewnere wnn senator Smith and Senator Fitzpatrick, trying to TUESDAY EVENING. iron out the differences which have arisen. Representative H. B. Haskins of Johnson, said just before noon: "The two senators said this morning -that they wanted time to consult with their brother senators, and we have not seen them since. The conference committee is supposed to be in ses sion now, but we can't find the two senators and Mr. Ryan. The commit tee will have to make up its mind to something quickly and quit, or I will resign. I believe that the chances are better for an agreement now than they were earlier this morning." Representative W. A. Morgan, who is the Democratic member of the committee, said this morning: "I will never sign a report for the split pri mary bill. I am willing to concede the secret ballot amendment for which the Democrats have stood firmly through both sessions, but I will Insist upon the straight Stubbs bill. The Republican members of the committee are trying to force me into line with them, but I won't be forced." Senator Smith, it is said, had been voting throughout the meetings of the committee for the split primary bill, but wouldn't sign the report un less the square deal senators released him from his pledge. Speaker Simmons was asked this morning whether he would obey the request of the house petitioners for the appointment of Mitchell, Kirtland and Foley on a second conference committee. "1 11 meet that question when It comes up," said Mr. Simmons. "But you will bear in mind that I always have been speaker or this house since my election, and I propose to contin ue to be speaker." BANK BILL PASSES. The Vote in the House Stands Seventy- eight to Thirty-two. By a vote of seventy-eight to thirty two the house of representatives this afternoon passed the bank deposit guarantee bill, which bill was drafted by the special committee appointed by the House. Some of the representatives voted against the bill because it contained no provision permitting savings banks, which pay interest on deposits, to par ticipate. CADYIS NAMED. Appointed Superintendent of the Hutchinson Reformatory. J. A. Cady, at present acting super intendent of the Hutchinson reforma tory, was today appointed by the board of directors of the reformatory as superintendent. The assistant superintendent of the reformatory to succeed Mr. Cady, has not been chos en. Mr. Cady succeeds E. E. Mar shall, who resigned to become bank examiner for the state of Kansas. SHE RAISED $100,000. Helen Gould Provides for Girls' Col lege at Constantinople. New York, Jan. 28. Their attention called to the needs of the American College for Girls at Constantinople by Miss Helen Gould, prominent women of this city at a meeting in Miss Gould's home, subscribed more than $100,000 for the Institution, some of the buildings of which were destroyed by fire two years ago. Miss Gould's visit to the school last year resulted in her becoming so interested in it that she accepted honorary membership in both junior and senior classes and in fluenced Dr. Mary Mills Patrick, presi dent of the college, to come to Amer ica to present its needs. Yesterday Miss Patrick, at the Gould home on Fifth avenue, addressed 100 invited guests, prominent in social and educa tional work on the needs and aims of the college. As a result a large sum was promised, Miss Gould contributing $10,000; Miss Grace H. Lodge, $10,000; John H. Converse, Philadelphia, $10, 000, while a society woman of Boston, who requested that her name be with held, pledged the sum of $50,000. On the strength of the money raised jesterday the work of renovating that part of the college damaged by Are will be bejpin at once.

HALF A MILE SQUARE Of the Water Is Ablaze and Endangering the Town. Trains Cannot Carry Help Ow ing to Landslides. San Luis Obispo, Cat., Jan. 28. Two tanks' of the Standard Oil company at Port Harford caught Are today from the heat of the burning oil in a tank belonging to the Union Oil company, which was struck by lightning yester day. One of the Standard company's tanks is nearly filled with oil and is being emptied into an oil schooner at the wharf. The other tank which was nearly empty has exploded, the oil is flowing into the water and) the whole town of Port Harford is threatened. Clouds of smoke fill the western horizon of this city. The Port Harford wharf is on fire, according to a telephone message from Avila, two miles from the port. Pacific coast trains can not reach the port owing to several land slides. The Hotel Marie at the wharf is in dan ger and In all probability will be destroyed. Several schooners are lying in to take all of the people aboard in case the port is doomed. Kvery available means for lending aid is being solicited and several wagon loads of men left here this morning to render aid.- Sheriff Mc Wadden was telephoned for and de parted after giving instructions to his deputy to stand ready to render whatever aid he may call for. Four of the nine oil tanks at Port; Harford are afire and it Is apparent that the others are doomed. The oil has spread over the waters and for more than half a mile square is burning. Twenty men on a burning tank barely escaped before the tank exploded. The families of employes of oil companies, housed in close proximity to th tanks abandoned their homes and scantily clothed rushed to the surrounding hills, as the other tanks caught fire at 6:15 o'clock this morning. No injuries have been reported.- thawseITkurried. State Calls No Experts and Hummel Testimony Is Read. New York,. Jan. 28. The Thaw case progressed today to within a few hours of its close. When the noon recess was taken the state had practically con cluded its case In rebuttal and thie de fense had only a few witnesses to call in sur-rebuttal.' The summing up of the attorneys will begin tomorrow. District Attorney Jerome caused a distinct surprise by announcing that he would call no expert witnesses to rebut the testimony of the alienists intro duced by the defense. It was said he wpuld rely on arguing that a competent case of legal insanity had not been made out. His move also prevents the defense from calling the state's experts of last year in sur-rebuttal to question them as to their declarations before the lunacy commission that Thaw was an incurable paranoic and likely to do violence If allowed to go free. The proceedings were materially speeded by an agreement of counsel to the judge to read the testimony of Abraham Hummel concerning the affi davit of Evelyn Nesbit is said to have rigned in 1903, charging cruelty againf-t Harry Thaw as given at the last trial. This obviated holding court on Black well's island, where Hummel Is serving a sentence. In return for the conces sion by the defense, Mr. Jerome allow ed the will of the defendant to go in evidence. The testimony had been held up for want of proof as to his custody. The will-sets apart a sum of $50,000 for purposes of investigation In case the maker should die a violent or sus picious death. The prosecution brought several witnesses forward to say Thaw seemed rational the night of the trag edy. Both prosecution -and defense finally rested at 3:16 o'clock this afternoon. AVILIi DROP TO TEN DEGREES. The Mercury Will Take a Big Drop Tonight. The little spell of pleasant weather of this afternoon will be the last which we will receive for some time, several days at least. There is some cold weather headed towards Topeka which will likely reach here sometime late this evening. The mercury will drop to about ten above zero tomorrow I n- Thorn has been nm f real cold weather to the north of us but it is moving eastwara ana ju not wucn Topeka. In Nebraska this morning there was zero weather. Along with th nr.ll snaD there will be plenty of wind which add to the cold effect. There is also a chance that there will be snow. The weather in Topeka today has been a trifle cooler than yesterday. There has also been a north wind 20 miles an hour.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY TAX MEfARE HERE The Kansas Assessors Gather for a Conference. Will Consider Taxation Situa tion In Tarious Counties. FACE MANY PUZZLES. Details of the New Law Must Be Understood.- Stenographer Will Take Testi mony at Hearing. A meeting of the utmost importance in the new scheme of assessment and taxation in this state Is being held in Topeka today. About 100 of the county assessors of Kansas, appointed under the new law, are either here or will he here during the day, to participate in the first bi ennial conference of county assessors which is provided for under the new tax law- This law reads as follows: The tax commission, shall, at least once in two years, require the county assessors of the state to meet with' the commission at the state capitol, upon a day designated, for the purpose of considering matters relating to taxa tion, to secure a uniform valuation throughout the state, and to discuss and formulate any needed changes in the law relating to taxation or methods of keeping the books and accounts thereof. The actual and necessary ex penses of the county assessors In at tending said meeting shall be paid by their respective counties." So there are good reasons for a large attendance of county assessors at the meeting here today. They all have their expenses paid, they have many matters of the utmost Importance to the assessors are to be-discussed, they are anxious to attend. No doubt many of the Republican as sessors will improve the opportunity to attend the Kansas Day club banquet here Wednesday night. The state tax commission depends upon this meeting moie than any other one thing to promote uniformity of as sessment throughout -the state. The county assessors will be impressed with the fact that the new, law means busi ness, and that assessors will be held responsible for its -strict enforcement. They will be told wTiat it means to as sess property at It? actual cash value, and will be assured that the tax com mission, for its part, will assess the railroads, telegraph, telephone, and pipe line companies at their actual cash value. t There are hundreds of puzzling pro positions' which confront the tax asses sors of the various counties in regard to the discharge of their duties, and every assessor will, be given a chance to present all his djgjculties to the tax commission to be ironed out. It is ex pected that a vast amount of informa tion of value to the assessors will be presented, and it is proposed to have a stenographer present to take alt the "testimony" so that the tax commission may know exactly what the the trou bles are which are perplexing the as sessors of the state. There are altogether 105 counties in the state, and each one is entitled to an assessor. All these assessors are ap pointed by the county commissioners. and will receive $3 per day for their services. The state tax commission has just compiled a list of these county as sessors, and it is here printed for the first time. Nearly all of these asses sors are in Topeka attending the meet ing, and will be here several days. Allen, Charles H. Schaffner; Ander son, D. W. Ramsey; Atchison, F. W. West; aBrber, H A.

New York Board of Health Will Ask Legislature To Pass Law for Rounding Up Tuberculosis Patients. WARON WHITE PLAGUE Is to Be Prosecuted Vigorously All Orer State. All Classes of People to Be En- listed in Fight. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 28. Dr. Eugene H. Porter, state commissioner of health and hisadvisory board, named recently to aid the department in dealing with the ravages of tuberculosis.have agreed upon a plan of campaign. The advisory board Is made up of experts on tubercu losis. The plan was summarized by Dr. Porter last night in his address before a meeting here under the auspices of the State Charities Aid association in co-operation with the state department of health in Its state campaign for the prevention of tuberculosis. Dr. Porter announced that a bill will be introduced in the legislature making mandatory, registration and notifica tion of all cases of tuberculosis through out the state. The state department of health, Dr. Porter said, "must Insist upon the registration of all cases of tuberculosis. It is absolutely essential that the location and distribution of these cases be known in order that proper measures may be taken for their instruction and relief. "The department should investigate the conditions existing in any given part or parts of the state, should pro vide for the wide distribution of cir culars, pamphlets and other literature bearing on the prevention of the dis ease; should enlist the press, the clergy, the school teachers, the farmers', insti tutes, the grange meetings and furnish them with literature and speakers; should instruct health officers and health boards as to their specific duties; should ascertain how the various towns and localities in the state were per forming each its part, and should do these things constantly." Dr. Pocter made an appeal to the leg islature for sufficient funds to meet the needs' of the campaign. LEFT IT A MILLION. Mr. Jessup Did Not Forget the Mu seam of Natural History. New YorKJan. 28. Morris K. Jes sup's bequest of $1,000,000 to the American Museum of Natural History here announced by his executor, is the last of a long succession of gifts the noted banker and philanthropist :had made to the institution since 1882. As lately as last year he had financed the F. W. Putnam expedition to Alaska for the investigation of the origin and re lationship of the Indian tribes on Doth sides of Bering sea. The expedition cost $150,000. Mr. Jessup also paid the expenses of last year's Henry u air field Osborne expedition to the Fayum Desert, Egypt, on the. hunt for the bones of the prehistoric elephant. An other scientific expedition that received his support was the Lumholtz expedi tion to Mexico for study of the rela tionship between th North American and the Central American Indians. The fruits of all these expeditions and researches have accrued to the museum, which also added largely to Its stock of stuffed animals through the Stone expedition to Alaska, an other enterprise which received aid from Mr. Jessup. Mr. Jessup was a constant giver; as well, towards the purchase of private collections of arti cles which tne museum aesirea to ac quire. Last year he spent $30,000 on such collections. He was also in the habit of contributing a -nually to meet the deficit in the museum's funds. TO COST 32.000,000. Biggest Army Depot in the Country Planned at Frisco. San Francisco, Jan. 28. The Exami ner today says: The federal authorities have taken definite steps to secure a site here for the biggest United States army depot in the country. It is to be located on part of the existing army reservation at Fort Mason and then run northerly on land at present submerged. This submerged land is owned by the Dore family of this city and Mrs. Her man Oelrichs and her sister. Mrs. Wil liam K. Venderbilt, Jr., of New York. The land is to be condemned in the United States circuit court. Assistant United States District Attorney Clark perfected a suit for that purpose yes terday. Congress has already appro priated $1,500,000 to pay for the site and filling in the submerged section. Out side the price of the condemned land, the depot with its many buildings and wharves is to cost fully $2,000,000. The land to be condemned is between LaGuna and Lewis streets and Vanness avenue and today is a small, shallow arm of the bay, upon which the head quarters of General Funston looks. Congress, in passing its $1,500,000 ap propriation bill, for condemnation and other purposes, did not provide in the act for the purchase of the property by arbitration. It fortunately specifies that the property must be secured by condemnation. This is why the federal authorities, through Assistant United States Attorney Clark have started a suit of that kind. HE FEIX AGAIXST A DOOR. J. M. Clark Meets With Serious Acci dent in Representative Hall. J. M. Clark, an aged man, who Is stopping with his daughter at 818 Buchanan street, met with a painful, but not serious accident Saturday eve ning while entering the lobby of the house postoffice, and the accident created a momentary confusion by the urgent demand for a surgeon. Mr Clark had just crossed the threshold when his foot struck the hase of the big hatrack on the west side of the room and he was pitched forward, striking the top of his head against the corner of the doorway leading to the postoffice. A frightful TUESDAY EVENING. gash six inches long was cut on the left side of his head and one not quite so long near the center of the skull. These wounds bled profusely, but fortunately a surgeon was quickly found and they received prompt attention. The old gentleman was not rendered unconscious and made no fuss at all over his injuries. He seemed to be in good shape when hn Onsllv in j ici, lui JJUIIie aim icaia of serious results were expressed by ins inenas. AWFULJORTURE. Horrible Cruelty Unearthed at the Illinois Reformatory. Inmate Hung by Wrists for Three Days and Nights. Pontiac, 111., Jan. 28. Members of the board of managers of the Illinois re formatory In this city today heard stories from the lips of officers of the institution themselves of brutality and torture inflicted upon William Hamlin, an inmate whose death and the conflict ing explanations thereof has raised a storm of criticism. Admissions were wrung from officers of the Institution that young Hamlin was chained to the bars of the "soli tary," his wrists held by handcuffs to a point even with the top of his head for 22 hours, the first day of his punish ment and for 16 hours the second day. On the third evening when he was tied up his endurance gave out after five hours and after he had revived from a faint he either tried to commit suicide or escape. Being chained up again he climbed up the bars of his cell, probably while in a delirium. He fainted the first day of his torture and the third night and for' long periods during these fainting spells he hung by his wrists, suspended from a bar of his cell, his legs too limp to support his weight. The "cold water cure" was applied. quart after quart of ice water being thrown over him to make him "quit shamming," and once it was poured down his throat until he choked. Afi ter he was injured he was left lying on the concrete floor of the solitary with only a blanket under him and another over him, his back broken in three places and his body paralyzed, all but the arms, for 12 hours before the reformatory physician was called. DOGS PUT INTO SERVICE. Education for Police Duty Is Re garded As Finished. New York. Jan. 28. New York's police dogs were put into active service early this morning for the first time. Experiments with the Belgian hounds brought from Europe and trained with an especial view to service as an adjunct to the city's police force, proved the effectiveness of their in struction. Sham attacks on uni formed men by policemen in plain clothes were promptly resented by the dogs, only the muzzles-on the animals preventing serious harm being done the aggressors. For the present they will be restrained by leashes, but af ter they learn the precinct they will be allowed to roam at large. A row of steam" heated dog houses has been erected In the rear of tne Parkville police station for their accommoda tion. WILSON PRESIDES. Fourth Annual Meeting of American Breeders Aasoclation. Washington, Jan. 28. A large number of delegates assembled here today in attendance upon the fourth annual convention of the American Breeders' association. The association will be in session three days. The object of the association whose membership em braces scientific and practical breeders to the number of about 1,100 is a rather unique one. Its aim is Improvement of the human race as well as animal and plant life. The animal breeders are en deavoring to breed a better class of horses; cows that will yield more milk and butter, meat animals that will yield steaks and chops more tender and bet ter flavored while the plant breeders are working for wheat that will yield finer flour and more of it, corn that will contain more protein; plants that will resist blight and the attacks of rust and smut; cereals that will flourish in spite of drought; fruits that will go far north and flowers that will bloom all summer. The convention was called to order by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, presi dent of the association. At this morn ing's session reports of committees on subjects of "animal and plant Intro duction," "animal hybridizing," "breed ing for dairy production," "breeding for meat production," "co-operative work on animal breeding," "co-operative work in plant breeding" were made. What probably will prove to be one of the most interesting reports will be that by Dr. David Starr Jordan, on "Eugenics" or the science of improving stock, whether human or animal. ECZEMA QUICKLY CURED. New Drag. Poslam, Now Obtainable in Small Quantities. Announcement was made today by the dispensers of poslam, the new cure for eczema, of the adoption of a special fifty-cent size for the conven ience of those who use the drug for pimples, blackheads, blotches, hum ors, acne, red noses, scaly scalp and other minor skin troubles which re quire but a small quantity to cure. Heretofore poslam has been put up specially for ecezma patients in large two-dollar jars only. The new size can be obtained at Snow's and other leading drug stores or direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty-fifth street. New York City. In eczema cases poslam stops itch ing with first application, and pro ceeds to heal,--curing chronic cases in two weeks. In minor skin troubles results show after overnight applica tion. Experimental samples may still be had free of charge by writing to the laboratories for them. Adv. Weather Indications. Chicago, Jan. 28 Forecast for Kan sas: Probably snow flurries and cold wave tonight; Wednesday generally fair: hieh northerly winds. TWO CENTS. THEY WILL WAIT. Senate Doesn't Know Whether It Can Adjourn Saturday.

Refuses to Pass the,' House Con current Resolution. TALK OF BANK BILLS. Senator lYaggener QuestionsTa- lidity of Proposed Measure. Upper House Passes Bill Aimed at Magnetic Healers. One of the first acts of the senate Monday afternoon on reconvening after its adjournment over Saturday and Sunday was to non-concur in house con current resolution No. 6. providing for the final adjournment of the legislature at noon on Saturday, February 1. It was objected that It was too early to take such action. In view of the many bills of Importance remaining to he acted upon, which include those cover ing the very subjects for which this extraordinary session was convened by the governor. "Such a resolution can be adopted at any time, within twenty minutes," said Senator Noftzger. "We are here to do business and we should do It," no matter how long it "takes."; And the senator is among those anxious to conclude the business of the session at the earlest date possible. There seemed to be a settled belief yesterday that an adjournment on Sal. urday would be almost out of the ques tion and while some were disposed to think all the work might be gotten out of the way by the middle of next week others anticipated that the end of the week at the earliest would find the slate wiped clean. The senate held a night session to attend to routine business and dispose of bills coming under general orders, and before its adjournment at 10 o'clock had the calendar pretty well cleared. Even meeting as late as 3 p. m., the first session of the day saw much progress in the disposition of motions, resolutions and bills on third reading. Senator Waggener introduced a reso lution asking an opinion from the at torney general on the constitutionality of all the banking measures now pend ing. Following is the resolution: "Whereas, Various bills are now pending before the senate, involving the question and principle of guaranteeing the deposits in banks and trust com panies, organized under the laws of this state, and It Is of the greatest Im portance that no mistake be made with reference thereto, therefore be 'it "Resolved, That the attorney general of the state of Kansas be requested, at his earliest convenience, to give to the senate his written opinion upon the fol lowing questions: "First Has the legislature the con stitutional power to levy, or cause to j be levied, a contribution, assessment, or tax, by whatever name it may be called, upon the capital stock or de posits of any one bank or trust com pany to pay the depositors In any other bank or trust company, in event of its suspension? "Second Has the legislature the con stitutional powers to delegate to or .vest in the state bank commissioner or other administrative officer or board, the power, under any circumstances, to de termine the amount of contribution or assessment to be made against the cap ital of any bank or trust company for the purpose of raising a fund with which to pay the depositors in some s.n.ni1u1 hanlr nr trust ComDanV. the amount of any depositor's loss by rea son of any suspension or failure? "Third If the bank commissioner should be vested with such power, has the legislature the constitutional power to provide an effective remedy to en force payment of such contribution or assessment so made by such bank com missioner? "Fourth Has the state of Kansas any constitutional power, directly or indirectly to guaranty the deposits of any bank or trust company, -by It created? "Fifth In view of Sec. 2, Art. 11 of the constitution of the state, has the legislature any power to tax a state, bank or trust company In any other manner than that prescribed by that section of the constitution, and is not every act of the legislature, tax ing such banks and trust companies in any other manner than therein provided, null and void? "Resolved: That a certified copy of this resolution be forthwith delivered to the attorney general." Young suggested that as all the bills provide that the banks shall come in voluntarily and there Is no question of compulsion about it, the whole matter could be settled In a word, without any opinion from the attorney general. "It can .do no harm," said Wag gener. "Yes, and it can do no good," re plied Young. .-"It is not information that the sen ate wants," Stewart" remarked, but the resolution was adopted. Later on in the afternoon session Stewart introduced this resolution, which was also adopted: "Whereas, Various bills are now pending before the senate. Involving the question and principle of guar antying the deposits in banks and trust companies, organized under the laws of this state, and it 13' of the greatest importance that no mistake be matte wun reierence tnereto. Therefore be it "Resolved, That the attorney gen eral of the state of Kansas, be re quested, at his earliest convenience, to give to the senate his written opin ion upon .the following question: "Has the legislature the constitu tional power to enable a state bank, organized under the general banking laws of Kansas, by resolution of its stockholders and directors to parti-. cipate in a. mutual guaranty of all deposits In .the state banks of Kansas, and would such a resolution be bind ing on such state banks mutually and voluntarily participating in such guaranty. "Resolved, That a certified copy of this resolution be forthwith delivered to the attorney general." The senatorial back was inclined to curve upward when Senator Stannard handed In- what purported to be a Continued on Pace Eiehtl

The Tiper Club Tells "Terrible Tj" Straight Facts. Say They Cannot Grant the Ball Player's Demands. SPEAKS FOR TOO MUCH Great Batter Wants a Pension in Case of Accident. Detroit Management Think This Injustice to Others. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 28. President Frank Navin o the Detroit baseball club has given Ty Cobb, the American league champion batter, the club's ulti matum regarding the demands the Georgian made a few days ago. "We will not give Cobb special priv ileges withheld from our other players," says Navin. "We gave him an increase in salary in recognition of his work last season, and sent him the same contract, salary and all, that we sent to Donovan and Crawford, our other star players, and they signed their contracts. "Cobb wants a three-year contract, a large salary, and demands to be taken care of in case of injury, and we don't intend to make these changes for him. Of course, we always take care of our players, as we did Jimmy Barrett and Mclntyre, but we don't have to put that clause in our contracts. "In reerard to asking: for more salary. I don't blame Cobb, for he is now in a position to demand all the money ne can get but we offered him the salary limit in his contract, and we can't do anv better than that. Cobb says he takes desperate chances in attempting to steal Dases, ana ne mnv h nut out of business any time, and it Is for that reason hewants the club to continue his salary if he is in jured. "Tf that Is all he Is holding out for, save President Navin, "we can't grant it, as a matter of principle." COBB NOT AFTER THE MOSEY. TVom.lt Plaver Says the Absence of Accident Clause Makes Trouble. Columbus. Ga.. Jan. 28 Ty Cobb, who led the American league batters last season, says it is an accident clause and not the financial end of the controversy between himself and the officials of the club that causes him to defer signing with Detroit for the approaching base ball season. The Georgian admits there in a difference of opinion wnn nis em ployers as to his 1908 salary, but insists he is sticking up for the rights of all ho il nlavers when he demands mat clause be inserted In his contract to insure his full salary In case of Illness or accident. Tn ii lentrthy plea for players In gen eral he compares them with heroes in a hattle who are Wred for by their re spective governments or by Red Cross charity. He says he has taken many Mariner chances, like other Dase run npra and is liable to snap a leg or liga mpnt at any time, "working- lor tne Cobb doesn't say he demanded $5,000 per year salary, but Insists that a three year contract which has been of fered him be amended so that his salary will not be docked "in cass ne is m caoacitated in a battle for the cause."

The disposition of Rot Thomas, who has played center field for the Phillies during the last ten consecutive years, is a matter of douDt. Many believe that Thomas has outworn his stay In that city, yei it rannui uo denied that he is still one of the great- oat outfielders! in the country. Manager Murray does not openly say that Thomas win De turned loose, pui it is known that the Quaner manage mn will trade him if proper induce ments are made. This feeling is empha sized by a belief that Harry mccormicK has a Hen on the post in center neiu, roMfVi would crowd out Roy. There are few clubs in the National lnnsnie which Thomas woman strengthen. He Is a wonderful man to ton a batting list, knows the game from cocktails to camembert and is a sure catch in the outfield, where he covers acres of ground. ENID WANTS A BERTH.

The Bookmaker Gets All of the Coin the Little Fighter Wins. San Francisco, Jan. 28. Abe Attell, the lightweight fighter, has squandered a fortune backing the ponies. Being clever at his own game, he figured that he cou'.d beat another. Some friend tipped Abe that the races were a snap to beat, and he has been following them j hand the little Hebrew serappper can bc found at Emeryville hop-scotching about for inside information. Inside in formation is for suckers, and Attell gets hla share. Before Attell went into the ring for his last battle he was prac tically broke. His forfeit was posted by a Fillmore street friend, who has too much brains to dabble with the bookmakers. Abe even had to borrow money to tide him over until after the fight. But for the horses he would now be in comfortable circumstances, for he has earned a big bunch of money. CHANGES IN FORWARD PASS. j New Rule Covers Particularly the illegal Touching of the BaU; New Tork, Jan. 28. Important changes In the rule governing the for ward pass play, which will prove of ad vantage to weaker teams and othej football legislation, were made by the Intercollegiate football rules commit tee. The new rule on the play of the for ward Dasa covers narticularlv the il legal touchlner of the ball. When Il legally touched the side making the n legal Play loses the ball to its op ponents on the snot from whlcn tne pass was made. According to the new rule only the man of the passers' side who first legally touched the baa may hereafter recover it until It has been touched bv an onoonent If the for ward pass is legally touched, and then free, and is touched by another player of the passers' side the ball goes to the opponents at the spot wnere toucnea. The committee considered the ques tion of defensive- tactics In connection with the forward pass and it was de cided that while the forward pass is n the air the players of the leiensive side may not use their hands or arms on their opponents except to pusn mem nut nt ti wbv in order to get at the ball. In order to eliminate holding and tackling it is provided that the players of the side making tne rorwara who nre eligible to receive tne pass. mov una ttioir hands and arms just the same way that players go down under the kick. A new rule was passed making the intermission between the halves of the game 15 minutes. A delay of two min utes beyond that time gives the ball to the team on the field, which may then place the ball on the 30 yard line of the offending eleven. Another rule nrtontpd nrovides that all forfeited games hereafter are to score as one to nothing RECORD BETWEEN CITIES. Claude Fearee Runs From Hamilton to Toronto In 7:29. Toronto.

THREW AST0NE AT HIM Bock Crashed Through the Window by His Head. The Prisoner i Denies Taking Any Aetlon in the Bow. Muscotah, Jan."--" 28. Complications in the town riot In Muscotah have arisen, and Saturday night there was more excitement in the town than there has been for years. The trouble used to be known as the town row, but now. they say the town riot. Shockey Evans, the liveryman, is un der arrest on the charge of having at tempted to assault Mayor Dunkel. A week or more ago Will Bevins, who runs a drug store' in Muscotah. had a fight with Dave Presnel. who lives out in the country. Saturday night iresnei came to town and was ar rested. The justice of the peace was called, and Bevins" and Presnel were fined $5 each on the charge of fight ing, xne court was held in the mayor's office. Bevins Is a son-in-law of Mayor Dunkel and Shockey Evans, who was present at the trial, got up and said that if was a put-up job to mulct the country boy out of his money. He said that Bevins would never be compelled to dig up, and told presnel not to pay his fine and offered to go on his bond. Dunkel was sit ting directly in front of a window with his hand back to it. The blind was pulled down. Soon after Evans was put out of the room a big rock crashed through the window, narrowly missing the mayor's head. Mayor Dunkel and Will Rork surmised that the rock had been thrown by Evans, and they ran down the street to Evans' home by a short cut. They say they had been there but few seconds before Evans came hurrying down the street to his home, all excited. It la said that Mayor Dunkel ordered Evans to stop, and told him if he didn't he would Are, Evans, instead of stopping, so it is said, ran down tor- the depot, where he allowed himself to be placed under arrest. When he -was caught, it is alleged the first words he said were, I didn't throw the rock." He was put under a $206; bond, and is to have a hearing in the justice court. VANCIL CASE EVIDENCE Sheriff Woodardc Finds Where Mrs. Vancil Had Signed Her Name, Iola," Jan. 28. Sheriff J. R.. Woodard, of Lawrence, has been in the city look ing up evidence in the Vancil case: Eph VanciL formerly a resident of" this city. is In the Douglas county Jail awaiting trial for the murder of his wife by ad ministering poison ito. her. It will bo remembered that? anbte was found in the bed in which Mrs. Vancil died, pur porting to have been written by her, which read as fbllowsi "Dotv't blame anyone for this. I dirt it myself. T have been looking for the chance for a long time." It Is claimed by the state that the note was not written by Mrs:' Vancil, but by Mr. Vancil, urging in support of this Idea that Mrs. Vancil could not write. The only alleged specimen of her writing in the nands of the officer until Mr. Woodard came here today, was a signature to a bill of sale or con tract and some claim that Mr. Vancil signed her name In this instance. Mr. Vancil always wrote the family letters to their relatives here. A search at the postoff ice brought results however. The sheriff found there Mrs. Vanoll's signature on a mon ey order receipt. It has been thought for some time that a specimen of her handwriting could be found at the post office here, but it was not known defi nitely. Finding this signature will have an important bearing on the case. It will prove that Mrs. Vancil could write, at least could sign her name which is in favpr of the defense.

Harrlsburg. Pa., Jan. 28. Not since the trial of United' States Senator M. S. Quay ten years ago for conspiracy to wreck a Philadelphia bank has there been such interest in the trial as has been manifested throughout Pennsyl vania in the proceedings being brought today against the men charged with conspiracy to loot the state treasury in connection with the construction and furnishing of the state capitol building. Since the revel ations of nearly two years ago in which some of the foremost men of the state were involved the imposing white marble structure on Capitol hill With Its1 ornate furnishings and fres coes has'-been a point of great Inter est to curiosity seekers and citizens generally. Excursionists have come from all over the state inspired by a desire to see the bronze chandeliers alleged to be loaded with tons of lead, the commonplace furniture paid for at a- fabulous price "per foot," and the painting and frescoing for which there Is said to have been an overcharge of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The trial of the alleged conspirators is being conducted in the dingy, old fashioned county court house and its resources have been stretched to the limit to accommodate the defend ants, attorneys and newspaper corres pondents. A special Jury panel of 80 is on hand and Judge George F. Kunkle, once a member of the legislature and new comer on the Pennsylvania bench is presiding. The first of the five conspir acy cases listed for trial involves pay ments of $49,717 for sofas, tables and clothes trees. The items were paid for by the state at the rate of $18.40 "per toot." The commonwealth alleges that frauds to the amount of $19,308 were perpetrated. The defendants in these five cases are Chief Contractor John H. Sanderson, and Architect Muhnston, former Auditor General William P. 8nyder, former State Treasurer Will lam Mathues and James M. Shumaker, former superintendent of grounds and buildings. Neither Congressman H. Burd Cassel, of the Pennsylvania Con structing company, nor the remaining eight defendants in the prosecutions figure In these conspiracy cases. The prosecution is being conducted by Attorney General Todd, James C. Scar lett, chief counsel for the legislative Investigation commission; Assistant Deputy Attorney General J. B. Cun ningham; Senator John E. Fox and Dis trict Attorney John F. Weiss. The de fendants are represented by George 8. Graham, A. S. L. Shields, P. F. Roth ermel, Jr., ex-Judge A. M. Beitler, Sam uel M. Clement. Jr., former Attorney General William U. Hensel, William Bchaffer. Charles H. Bergner, Lyman D. Gilbert and State Representative Udward K. iiledleman. Sanderson supplied most of the fur- nismngs or tne capitol. His contract amounted to a,4S(,ss and his profits in some instances are alleged to have been as mucn as 4.uu per cent. Huston de signed the building, and furnishings, his commissions amounting to $415.b31. Shumaker is accused of having failed to audit the bills of Sanderson and is also charged with having accepted Hus ton's certification that the work was up to tne specincations and contract.

The court refused mo tions for a severance of the cases of Shumaker, Snyder and Matheus, their attorneys having asked separate trials. Mr. Bergner said Shumaker was ser iously ill and the court excused the lat ter from appearing. When court opened in the afternoon Houston was not present. Snyder and Matheus were on hand. It was reported that Houston would be called as a witness for -the com monwealth against his four co-defendants. SEVERAL HAVE SMALLPOX. Pupils of a Leavenworth School Are Vntler Quarantine. Leavenworth, Jan. 28. County Health Officer Dr. W. A. Adams, of East on, yesterday quarantined the home of County Commissioner Kennedy near Lowemont. Charles Kennedy, son of the county commissioner, and Lawrence Kennedy, Jr.. son of Mr. Kennedy's brother, and Rodger Shields is at the home of Mr. Kennedy and Lawrence Kennedy is at his own home. The three young men have been at tending school at St. Benedicts. A few days ago an epidemic of what was sup posed to be la grippe broke out In the college and fully forty boys were sent to their homes. It now develops that almost all of them have smallpox and it would not be surprising if there is an epidemic. The two Kennedy boys and the Shields boy associated with a num ber of neighbors after coming home and some of them were in town. DIDN'T KEEP IT A SECRET. Wedding That Was Not Known for Two Whole Days. A wedding which was originally intend ed by the contracting parties to be kept as a secret for a few weeks was keit a secret for a little less than two daya. Last Saturday at the residence of Rev. W. M. Cleaveland. pastor of the Third Presby terian church. Harper Rigby, city sales man for George Burghart, and Miss Marie Van Layes were married. None of their friends were apprised of their intentions, but evidently they did not cover their tracks very well, as the wedding became known in a very short time.

Road Has Now Over Eleven Thousand Idle Cars. 5,000 EMPLOYES OUT. Further Reductions Planned for January. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Rock Island's car loading figures for the first half of January show a decrease of 4,500 cars, as compared with a year ago. This average loss of 300 cars a day, including traffic for connection, is exactly the same as that of the Burlington, and other Kansas City roads show similar fig ures. Freight equipment on the Rock Island is about 11,000 cars ahead of the traffic. A year ago It was 10,000 cars behind, making a net difference of 21,000 cars in the volume of traffic offered. The Rock Island has laid off 5,000 men, but most of them were those who received the smallest pay, so that the saving is away below the aggre gate amount of wage advances last year, which, on the basis of the full pay roll, was S200.000 a month. That is why Vice President Mudge, in a re cently published interview, says wage reductions are inevitable on all of the railroads. "Mr. Mudge stated the plain facts," says a Rock Island official, "and I see no reason for concealing it. Our em ployes shared in the road's prosperity, and now must expect to share in its adversity. The contention that they came in for their share of the pros perity at the tail end of the boom is not well taken. Four years ago the trainmen were advanced 10 and 15 per cent, and last year they received another advance of 10 per cent. "The December decrease in earnings was greater than the November de crease. The January decrease has been greater than that of December, but there are a few signs of improve ment, and the month is little more than half gone. It is idle to talk of improvement in net earnings. We have had no net. I hope the day is not far away when we will be able to show something. The Rock Island property is all right. If investment in the preferred stock ia not safe at 30 or less, then the country is not safe. "What seems to me the worst fea ture of the situation is the decline in rates. The ton-mile rate on our com modities last November was 93 1-10 miles, against 97 1-10 during Novem ber, 1906. Last year car congestion may have needed a legislative remedy, but certainly not the big doses admin istered to it." P. W. SAYRE RETIRES. General Bridge Foreman of Santa Fe Given a Pension. Peter W. Sayre, who has been gen eral foreman of the Santa Fe bridge and building department in Topeka for the past twenty-three years, will re tire next Saturday, having been grant ed a pension under the liberal pension policy of the Santa Fe, which will take effect at that time. Mr. Sayre was appointed to the po sition of foreman of the bridge and building department of the eastern division of the Santa Fe In 1875. and has served in the same position with out interruption since that time. Pre vious to his appointment to this posi-' tion Mr. Sayre was connected with several other roads. In 1869 he was connected with the Kansas City Bridge company and from this work drifted into railroading. His first railroad position was with the old Missouri River, Fort Scott Gulf road. Later he was connected with other roads. In 1873 he came to the Santa Fe in, To peka and has since maintained his connection with the work of his depart ment here in Topeka. From his ap pointment In 1875 as foreman. Mr. Sayre had worked until 1891 in this position, when he was given the entire charge of this division, two foreman ships being consolidated at that time. Mr. Sayre was born In 1S41 and al though getting well along in years is still strong and vigorous. Under the pension system Mr. Sayre will receive a liberal allowance from the company, as a fitting reward for a long and use ful career in the service of the Santa Fe company. RAILROAD IS FINED. Held Guilty of Violating the Sixteen Hour Lmv. Helena, Jan. 28. For violating the 16 hour law the Northern Pacific Railway company has been fined $100 in Judge J. M. Clements court. The case is considered a test of the constitutional lty of the state law to prevent railroad employes from being obliged to work beyond their capacity for efficient ser vice. A train and an engine crew were obliged to work 23 consecutive hours near Birdseye owing to a wreck The case will be appealed and the constitutionality of the law tested. Quit Church for Dogs.

Congressman Fowler -j Savagely At tacks the V. S. Currency System. .Washington, Jan." 28. Addressing the house on the financial question Mr. Fowler, chairman of the commit tee on banking and currency declared that the United States Jiad the worst financial and currency process in the world, instead of the best. "What is the acute question," he in quired. "Is It a bond secured cur rency It that were a' wise and proper form of currency he asked, why had not some nation adopted it by this time? Japan tried it over night, he said, but quickly gave it up. Mr. Fowler favored coining reserves out of gold. United States notes he said, were "mere promisee to pay a mere piece of flat issued during the war." They had never been retired because neither the Republican or Democratic party ever had the po litical courage to do its bidding. The subtreasury of the government was attacked by Mr. Fowler as a curse to trade and commerce. .."It is a source of suspicion," he declared, "a source of hatred, a source of sectional rival ry." He said he knew nothing that so constantly aroused sectional feel ing as this distribution of money in times of stress. United States money he said had been a disturbing factor in the commerce of the world and he maintained that a remedy for this evil could be supplied by the govern ment by depositing its money In bank every day by check and draft, and by i How would you like to be pointed out as a tough, bully, law-breaker and criminal, because you are a member of. a Labor Union, and ruled tyranni cally by the leaders who are known to be men of "violent tendencies" (as the Goldfleld Committee reported) who make a business of stirring up trouble, strikes, picketing, boycotting, slugging, dynamiting, destruction of property and who .stop industries and force their own union members to go without wages until the leaders can assert their right to dictate and rule? All of this with fat and sure salaries for the leaders and more or less poverty for their working members. The writer of this has a little money to spend in telling the public the workman's 6tory. -Take one as an example (there are several hundred thou sand.) He was born in the town he calls "home," had a school education ana by chance slipped thru the "union" restrictions which kept several of his mates from learning a trade, by securing an apprenticeship. After serving, he became a mechanic, owned a home, was a highly respected neighbor and citizen and prosperous. Finally a paid "organizer" appeared In the town, a union was formed and he Induced to join under threat of being called a "scab." He knew the organizer got a commission on him and each other new member, and while he thought a union of workingmen would be a good thing on some accounts, he didn't exactly like the looks of things, but couldn't help himself. Then he was -ordered to strike to force the discharge of all independent menSo he lost much by idleness and saw violence and destruction of prop erty in the name of the "union," he of course being charged as one of the law-breakers although he stayed at home and kept out of trouble and didn t need any injunction to prevent him from committing crime. He lost his wages and had to bear much odium in order to help fill the pockets of the labor leaders and give them more power. He was further humiliated by observing that the rank and file of the union men were absolutely controlled by a few leaders who ran things to suit themselves and forced the public to class all union men as indorsing the lawless and despicable acts of these leaders and their bullies. In a strike, the public had learned by experience to look for lawless ness and violence. Men were followed and bull-dozed, attacked and at times Horses were maimed, harness cut and wagons and goods destroyed. Wo men followed and insulted and sometimes stripped naked. Mines were dy namited and flooded,, men shot from ambush and. homes blown up. Indus tries were stopped ajid thousands thrown out of work. Every time a murder or any lawless act was committed he saw these "Leaders" rush into print to deny, and take union money to defend those whom the union men knew to be criminals Every act of these Union Leaders seemed to show their sympathy with and desire for lawlessness and violence. They would protest against the presence of police, soldiers or any other peace officer hired by the people. They would employ all forms of hidden and mean acts to harm other mCn "ah of these things caused the common people to look upon union men as possible law-breakers and enemies to the peace of the community. This was further added to by the leaders taking the money of the union members to hire lawyers and lobbyists in Congress to change the penal laws so the real toughs In the unions could commit acts of violence and not be PUniAlso to enact an an ti-in junction law so that the people's courts could not? Issue Injunctions which would prevent violence and loss of property. These things plainly showed that these leaders wanted to be free to commit violence, attack their fellow men, stop industries and destroy prop erty lnthenamojm2onJabor and yet go free. T I If a union man don't want to riot or commit violence an injunction to nrpvent it won't hurt him. This work makes honest, peaceable union workmen disgusted for they are being classed as anarchists. It is most unfair to reputable union men that they be subject to such lenders and unable either to correct them or escape their anger if not obeyed. Organizations of Labor Capital may exist and operate peacefully and leeallv but most of the paid leaders of the unions plainly seek to break the law arid commit acts of violence to Increase their power, force all men to loin and pay increased fees. It is a dangerous condition demanding attention frm every lover of his CUnWhen workingmen are fined and forced to pay from $25.00 to $1000.00 for some "disobedience" or "orders" from the leaders, some idea of the ex tent of the slavery may be understood. A few designing men have gained control of "organized labor" and are shrewdly scheming to rivet the shackles on their own members and on all citizens Give them the "free riot" laws and they can enforce obedience. Take a careful look at the work of these Labor leaders now before They demand a revision of the "penal code" so that rioters and toughs directed by Labor Union managers may commit various acts of lawlessness ana xhey66 demand an anti-injunction law, so that the hands of the neoole's courts shall be tied and they cannot issue restraining orders i prevent acts, sure to result In riot, assaulting of other workmen, dyna miting and destruction of property. This is known as the "Free Riot Act." They demand that no free American who falls to pay fees to the union j v.- oiinnari to work In certain gov't departments. They demand the defeat of public of ana rp. ri The "union" man's money is used to work these measures through. condition confronting the people, but our work ingmen and other citizens can preserve President Roosevelt is quoted as saying "the worst foes of America are the foes of that orderly liberty without which our Republic must speedily Derish The reckless labor agitator who arouses the mob to riot and blood shed is In the last analysis the most dangerous of the workingmen's enemies. This man is a real peril, and so is his sympathizer, who, to catch votes, de nounces the Judiciary and military because they put down mobs." "The men who have done us harm are those who preach the doctrine of anarchy, but refrain from action that will bring them within the pale of the law: for these men ieaa mousmus asim. uj wi. un punished or even rewarded for their misdeeds." Tk. onnetltntlnn seeks to guarantee to every American, freedom and the right to the pursuit of happiness in his own way. It is not intended that a select few gain control of an organization and by absolute power and vio lence, rule all other men and force them to pay monthly fees, as planned by these labor leaders. We don't want new laws that make Violence. Dynamiting, Boycotting a-d general mob rule safe to the tough element. That would destroy Indus tries and commerce and put work-people into poverty, with every man s hand raised against his neighbor. Men of America must take a stand against these Insidious attacks on their God-given personal liberty. The way to help yourself is to write now, and again later, to the mem bers of Congress, whose names you can get and tell them your wishes. They will understand readily if your letter asks them to "vote for the measures that are clearly In the interest of the masses." "Vote against any bill, whether presented by Labor or Capital. If it is a "class" measure and Intended to benefit a few and injure the many. Demand more good laws against criminals, not less. Tell them we don't want this country filled up with criminals, made so by cowardly legislation in the interests of Labor Union Bosses, grafters, frenzied financiers or anarchists. Then watch how they vote. Past history shows that the people defeat public men who forget the great majority of their free constituents and work for measures introduced, solely to put more power into the hands of design ing labor leaders. When the people speak, things are done. There are brave members of Congress who stand up for the law-abiding citizens and refuse to vote for the anarchy of these labor leaders, but such Congressmen want swords of encouragement from the people. A few members of Congress think they can continue to hold office by Wwing to the shouts and demands of these organized labor leaders in whom drawing, it out by check and draft. Referring to the action of J. P. Mor gan in coming to the rescue of the money market recently, Mr. Fowler asserted that an individual banking system can not stand alone, because every serious rumor causes runs and the banks know they can not survive. These banks, he said should be co ordinated and brought into a harmo nious whole. It was high time he said, that depositors knew what was in the bowels of banks when they placed their money with them. He referred to Mr. Morgan as a giant of giants, a Hercules of finance, a banker-statesman, a banker-patriot who he said had stood like a Gibraltar protecting the nineteen billions of re serves of our banks, protecting the occupation of 26,000,000 of men' and women, protecting the national wel fare against the consequences of a more destructive, terrific tragic and appalling cataclysm than has ever swept over the commerce of any country." The time was ripe-he said and the opportunity was at hand to eliminate every one of these weaknesses and build a scientific sound and wise cur rency system. It all could be done he, said within three or four monthB. Mr. Fowler expressed his opposition to the establishment of a central bank, giving as one of his reasons that the United States was too parti san and that its institutions were not suited for such a bank. Mr. Fowler was bombarded with questions re garding the details of hta bill. He de clared should it pass It would raise the bank and trust company reserves by J60O,000,O0O and he said that amount of gold taken from the pock ets of the people, the corn and the wheat field would be replaced by the credit notes of. the banks. Riot" Laws men who vote against these measures their freedom by acting, and acting anarchy and disorder is Ingrained. Such public men (there are but few) are willing to prostitute their own Ideas of right and justice to curry favoi with an organization thought to lie strong enough to. keep them in office. That is a fatal mistake. Look at the members of Congress who have been opposed at the polls by all the forces the leaders of organized labor could bring to bear. Every Congressman who has stood up fearlessly for the rights of the common people and refused to vote for "free riot" and such bills, has been returned" by Increased majorities. What the great mass of newspaper readers and voters wanto know Is, Does he stand for all the people and not alone for the few, and does he stand for absolute freedom and justice. The reason Is plain. "Organized labor" Is a name abused by the "Violent men" who have gained control. They use that name to mask their anarchy and scheme to keep workmen paying fees to them. f "Organized labor" itself represents only about one citizen in every 40 Americans, or say 2 million out of 80 million. Great numbers of the 2 mil lion members are upright peace-loving, reputable citizens and In many cases forced to join unions against their will. Such men absolutely will not sup port or vote In favor of the "free riot" plans of the "Men of Violent Ten dencies" in control. Then the great peace-loving, patriotic majority, the 80 millions, have at least some regard for the law of the people and their own safety thereunder A public man can only be safe in office when labor leaders demand that he vote for laws protecting "free riot" and the like, by replying that he "stands for any measure introduced by either Labor or Capital provided that measure be clearly in the interest of all the people and not in the interest of a class alone." If he tries to curry favor by supporting any of these lawless acts of or ganized labor, his position will be known and he will go down to defeat and carry with him the denunciation of a people who demand peace and know how to maintain It. There are about BOO local organizations of liberty-loving people In as many cities in the U. S., variously known as Citizens Ass'ns, Industrial Assns and Citizens Industrial Ass'ns. Their affiliations and support repre sents several million people. They are watching this legislation and their voices will be heard in no uncertain manner in support of peace and law.

HE'S IN AUSTRALIA E. O. Faulkner Studying Tree Question for Santa Fe. Tells of His Observations in Japan. STUDIES EUCALYPTUS. Also Other Timber That May Be Used for Ties. May Be' Grown in Southern Texas Country. The following Is from the Brisbane Courier of Queensland, Australia, un der date of Dec. 16: Mr. Eu O. Faulkner, manager of the tie and timber department of the At chison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway system, U. S. A., arrived in Brisbane yesterday from the east by the steam er Kumano Maru. The object of his visit is of interest to Australia. Mr. Faulkner is endeavoring to secure all Information possible relative to the planting and growth of Australian hardwoods, with the object of insti tuting an extensive system of affores tration with those trees in America. "We have 9,500 miles of track in our railway system," said Mr. Faulk ner in the course of an interview. "Starting from Chicago one stem ends at Denver, the other at. Garrison, In Texas, and another at El Paso, while another crosses the continent to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Die go. We have lots of timber in Amer ica along the Pacific coast, but it is pine, and with our very heavy rolling stock we are in want of hardwoods, particularly for ties or sleepers. We can already see the time ahead when it will be much more difficult to get sleepers than It is now. This prob lem has led to several of the big rail way systems of America making in vestigations as to the planting and growth of suitable trees for hard wood, and what trees are most likely to do well in the country we have available in the United States. We have quite a large area in California which is very similar in climate to parts of Australia, and trees of the eucalyptus family grow there very successfully. Our attention has been attracted to this class of timber, and we have some Australian hardwood sleepers in our track now. These are showing very excellent qualities. "A couple of years ago I became possessed of a work upon the 'Mer chantable Timbers of Queensland,' from which I obtained some very val uable information indeed, and I was led to write and make further in quiries of the railway officials in the various states of Australia. Mr. Pa gan, chief engineer for railways, Queensland, was good enough to have a special report prepared, and sent to our chief officials at Chicago, and his courtesy and thought were much appreciated. Mr. Pagan suggested that owins to the difference in the conditions of Australia and the United States it would be better for some one to visit Australia and see things for themselves. Accordingly I am here to investigate the planting and growth of young trees of suitable character, the location, soil, time occupied in coming to maturity, .and the length of service likely to be secured from sleepers of various kinds. Ironbark we consider the best of all, but that takes a long time to grow, and it might prove more economical for us to grow some other variety, which, though not so durable, will grow more rapidly. I am in hopes that in some of the Australian states I may find the replanting of your forests has already commenced, so that I may ascertain the methods adopted and results secured. If you have not yet done so It is not too soon to com mence. No matter -how extensive your forests may be, the time is bound to come when your people will feel the pinch. It takes a much shorter time to cut down and use a tree than It does to grow another in its place, you know. k'1 h?ve Just come from Japan, where I made a trip through the foresi ff1?' an 1 wPrise I found that they had been planting timber there for over 200 years. They are: now engaged in cutting timber planted -160 years ago, as shown by the an nular rings on the stem. At the same' time they are extending their opera tions by replanting about 20.000 acres per annum.. The importance of reaf- -forestration is being more widely' recognized every day. In BritisU Burma for some time past the govern ment requires that for every tree cut' down another must be planted. Tim- ber enters so largely into the general -economy of the people, for house building, furniture, and so many other things, that when it becomes scarce practically every one in a community is affected. We in America feel that we must take care for the future, and the example which Is now being set Y the big railway systems will prob ably be followed by the owners of land that will grow trees probably to better advantage than anything else. The requirements of my department are be tween three million and three and a half million sleepers per year. We get some hardwood from Hawaii. and some from Japan. I spent a little time inquiring at Manila, but they are scarcely far enough advanced yet to deal with outside markets, especially as they have about 1.000 miles of new railroad track under construction at the present time. I am, however, sat isfied that there is a large amount of timber there suitable for commercial purposes, which will come into the market in the near future. "It is not our intention to buy tim ber in Australia at present, as the prices are too high. Probably later on. when your conditions will allow of prices becoming easier, we may be glad to do so. I will get all the information I can In Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, and I may visit Western Australia. I shall remain a little time in Queensland." Questioned as to the character of the work required of sleepers In America, Mr. Faulkner said one of the mountain freight engines on his company's tracks -weighed 226 tons when all ready for' business. Their coal trucks weigh 1$ tons, and carry 60 tons. The timber problem is occupying the attention of all the big American railway compan-; ies, and the results of Mr. Faulkner's. Investigations in Australia will be awaited with interest. He will make1 special inquiry as to the possibility of growing some of the Australian hard-! woods in country such as southern Tex- as and the Rio Grande, where it would have to withstand cold weather. CONRIKD DOWN AND OT7T. He Will Give Up Ills Opera School at Season's End. New York, Jan. 28. Notices have been sent out to the effect that the school of grand opera established by Henrich Conried in connection with the Metropolitanopera house, will be discontinued after "this season. The announcement is a blow to the stu dents, who have been depending upon this means of gaining a musical educa tion and already plans are on the way for the formation of another school to take its place. The school has been a particular hobby of Director Conreid and its suspension is taken as con firmation of the often repeated renort that he Is to give up the directofthip of the opera house at the end of th present season. Family of Seven Cremated. Richmond, Va.( Jan. 28. By the collapse of the house of Anthony Franklin, a negro of Bedtford City, the building was fired and destroyed and) his whole family consisting of him self, wife and five children were burned to death. The family were sitting up with the corpse of a child that died Sunday, when the building fell in. Railroads Obtain Writs.. Washington, Jan. 28. The supreme court of the United States has granted petitions of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy and the Chicago Alton railroad companies for writs of certiorari in the government cases against them on charges of granting rebates. The action of the court will bring the cases of this court for re view. i

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganlmtion for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka The news 1 rce!ve in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sola pur- Reports come from the Pacific oast that the prospects are good for t big orange crop. It has been noticed around these parts that Whether the orange crop la large or mall the retail price of oranges gen erally remains the same. Western railroads are said to be contemplating an increase in the mini mum weights of all kinds of freight. This would practically mean an in crease la the rates on many shipments. Some months ago the eastern rail roads made a similar increase. And now the French prophets de clare that the restriction of Japan ese immigration is only a postpone ment of serious trouble between Japan and the United States. If such were possible it would be a mighty good plan for the gentlemen of France to mind their own business. Walter Wellman, whose ear is ever at the curbstone,- announces In his usually grandiloquent style that Wa!l street la whipped. "President Roose velt and the people of the prairies and the mountains who have stood behind him have subjugated the great power," says Mr. Wellman. It's real kind of him to declare us in on the deal. Night riders are still plying their trade in Kentucky. It makes the other states in the Union blush for shame over the apparent inability of the officials of that state to cope with this disgraceful form of outlawry. People will soon begin to think that the peace officers of Kentucky are in sympathy with the desperadoes and depredators. Dr. Wiley, the expert government chemist, proposes that farmers should be taught how to manufacture dena tured alcohol as it makes an excellent fuel and a fine light and can be made easily, when one knows how, from farm waste. Dr. Wiley's proposal is an ex cellent one and It would seem that a course In teaching the building of proper stills and their operation should be added to the curriculum of the agri cultural colleges. New Tork society women are to pose as models for living pictures. But (be It borne in mind that they are not to wear the garbs used by the women who posed as "living pictures" on the stage when this class of tableaux was bo sensationally popular a few years ago. Nay, nay. They are to simulate the grand) dames of an almost forgot ten past when considerably more clothes were worn than are now popu lar with women in "high" society. One of the lightest criminal dockets Jn the history of the district court of Shawnee county Is down for disposal at the present term of the court. This Is the best kind of evidence of the peace and quietude which pervades in Topeka. And it is due to the ac tivity of the county officials and the city police. Former violators of the prohibitory law are walking In the straight and narrow paths these days and Itinerant criminals are giving the town the go-by. Even though the weather gets down to the freezing point occasionally these days, it might be a good plan for the department charged with the care of the streets, to get out the street sprinklers and wet down the main thoroughfares and then haye them thoroughly cleaned up. It would be hard work to say Just how thick the dust Is on the streets but it is thick enough to be most annoying when-. ever there is a wind of any propor tions. It would be far better for the policemen of this city to let two or three noisy "drunks" get away from them than to indulge in the indis criminate shooting they did on Satur day night to scare some one who had broken away from them. A bullet from a policeman's revolver broke a window a block and a half away from where it was fired. There were many people on Kansas avenue at the time of this fusillade of shots. That some one was not hit and fatally Injured Is a wonder. Such carelessness on the part of policemen Is negligence that la well nigh criminal. Opponents of the "split" primary In the legislature under the leadership of Mr. Stubbs have announced the opinion of some of their legal friends that such a primary will be uncon stitutional unless the cumbersome ma chinery of new and separate primary Boards be created to look after these primaries on the general election day. This is an indication that these politi cians think they are beaten and that a "split", primary bill will pass re gardless of their likes or dislikes. Constitutional arguments are never raised against any legislative proposi tion except 8S last dying gasps. Mckinley day. McKinley Day falls on January 29 and through the efforts of "The Car nation League of America" the cus tom has been established of observing the birthday f the late president by wearing on that day a carnation, bis favorite flower. This Is a most felic itous custom and should he observed generally by the people. As Lewis G. Reynolds, the founder of the league says, the annual observance of the birthday of men who have adorned high stations in the nation's gift and in its service has a distinct educa tional value as well as an uplifting Influence. The usefulness of their ser vices to their country, and to mankind in general, is necessarily recalled and the encouragement of their example Is brought forcibly to mind. There Is no more ennobling Influence than Is the contemplation of the lives of great and good men and whatever may lead to this contemplation should be en couraged. The life, character and services of William McKinley can not be studied or reviewed without profit to the in dividual and the community. In his death the nation' suffered the loss of one of her foremost sons the Chris tian world, a disciple of pure and man ly living. A people can not have too many national days days commemorative of brave deeds, or noble lives nobly lived. The thoughtful observance of each tends to keeping the whole body of the people up to the highest pa triotic pitch, and if "Carnation Day" shall add its quota to the fostering of real national patriotism, we may be sure that the great soul of William McKinley will look down from above and imbue "Carnation Day" with some of his love and veneration for the glories of our nation and the per manency of its institutions. "Carnation Day" was established January 20, 1903, and has been ob served with great unanimity on each recurring anniversary. May it con tinue to grow In power and good works from year to year. PREMIUM ON BRAINS. "The man who gets $20,000 a year is the cheapest man in the place and the man who gets $1.50 a day is the most expensive," said W. R. Warner, presi dent of the big Warner Swasey com pany of Cleveland, O., in an address he delivered the other day on. "The Ap prenticeship System of Today," at the annual convention of the National So ciety for the Promotion of Industrial Education which was held at Chicago. And there is a great truth in this state ment of Mr. Warner. "The man without an education in his trade," he continued, "is nothing more than a traveling crane. One dollar and a half a day Is rather a big' price, I find, to pay for his labor. But when you have a man with brains and initia tive, you get more out of him many times over than his salary amounts to. "I remember visiting a big plant once where they turned out a locomotive a day. They paid the superintendent of that place $20,000 a year. That was cheap. That represented less than three locomotives. An incompetent man In the superintendent's place could have cost, and would have cost, them 50 lo comotives a year in decreased output." Mr. Warner strongly advocated the apprenticeship system. It was practi cal, fie said, and sifted out the ineffi cient and the indifferent. Some of the trade schools he had visited graduated some very incompetent men. But the main thing, in his idea, is that the ap prenticeship method soon told the boy whether he was in the right place or not. More attention is being paid each year in this country, and rightly so, to trade education not only by the em ployers of technical labor but by labor unions. And trade education is best accomplished, it Is the general opinion. In an extension of the apprenticeship system where special training is given to the apprentices in addition to the regular and practical work demanded of them. This is the method that has been undertaken by the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe Railway company for the education of their apprentices in the shops of the system, and that it will ultimately result In great benefit not only to those who have the privi lege of enjoying it but also to the com pany there Is no doubt. THE CURRENCY PROBLEM. "It Is a praiseworthy plan proposed by the currency committee of the American Bankers association," says the Chicago Tribune. "A campaign of education is to be undertaken in the Interests of the money bjll favored by that organization. Pamphlets, doc uments, and carefully prepared arti cles are to be sent broadcast for use of newspapers of all grades. The peo ple are to be appealed to to read and study the currency bills and to make comparisons. State associations of bankers and commercial bodies are to be asked to cooperate in the move ment for popular enlightenment on the money question. "The special advantage of such a plan is that it will arouse discussion everywhere. It is apparent that there is much popular ignorance on the sub ject of money. The bankers them selvesare often untutored and can not be taken as safe guides. The members of congress, who must formulate bills and pass them, seem as much at sea as the majority of their fellow citizens. All sorts of propositions are being pre sented for consideration. Each one of them may have some feature that is excellent. Each one likewise may be radically defective in other details. Public discussion, criticism, and sug gestion will be a great help in securing the right solution of the problem con fronting the nation. "The present system of currency is the result of conditions which prevail ed In earlier years of the country's his tory. The money question is not a new one. It has been fought over from the beginning. Economists have fa vored different projects and their views are set forth In the abundant lit erature on the subject. A campaign on education is certain to lead to a re examination of this literature and to the use by present day workers in the financial field of the experience of for mer years. "The practical need now is for rem edial' legislation to meet the emergen cies of the hour. But any such legis lation forced under pressure and pos sibly lacking the strength which comes from matured thought will hardly be satisfactory as a perman ent settlement of a problem which has its relationships with every citi zen. A systematic campaign of educa tion will have a value in creating a live public opinion which may have important bearing upon the legisla tion of the early future, even if it falls to convince the people that the special measure in whose Interest it is undertaken is the wisest solution of the currency problem. "A hanker who has excellent Judg ment when it comes to making loans or valuing securities may be an un safe guide on the currency of the country. On the other hand, some one less conspicuous in the commun ity may see clearly the way out of the difficulty. The wider the range of the discussion and the sharper the criticism of various measures propos ed the better the result will be. A campaign of education on currency, well conducted, will be a valuable thing for the country Just now." JOURNAL ENTRIES One difference between fame and) notoriety is that notoriety lasts longer. A good many new leaves that are turned over are too easily blown back; Some new suits are such fits that they are perfect convulsions. Beggars believe that the greatest of human senses Is the sense of touch, a Lots of women are fond of all kinds of animals except their husbands. JAYHAWKER JOTS The little town of Bendena is the home of five automobiles up to the present writing. Down in Allen county the Socialists Intend to put a ticket in the field car rying candidates for each of the coun ty offices. In Neodesha, according to the Sun, housewives are using rat holes for sewers and up to date not one has been filled to its capacity. A young man In Wamego wears such a high paper collar that the local paper declares that he would have to get up on a stump to spit out. Wichita will have to admit that it is the home of a pretty mean thief. One robbed a two-year-old baby's .saving bank there the other day of $2. Physicians declare that there are more than three hundred cases' of la grippe In Leavenworth, That's not the only thing the town can boast of. A boy and a match in Val Verde township in Sumner county went out Into the field the other day. Mr. Har baugh Is minus a fine lot of prairie hay and a hedge fence. Folks In Chanute are getting real literary. The city librarian's annua" report shows that during last year the people read 2,812 books, or rather that many were taken from the library. Spring news from the Hiawatha World: Mrs. Salisbury's crocuses are two Inches high. Mrs. Stewart's hya cinths will soon be In bloom. Tom McLaughlin has a white lilac bush with the leaves bursting out. Some low principled person or persons In Jamestown recently went into the Methodist preacher's cellar and stole thirty quarts of canned peaches. This leads the local paper to say that anyone who would steal from a preacher would take candy from children. All will agree with this sentiment. They tell it on a Howard girl that she has a young farmer beau living east of the town and that she went out and paid a visit to him and his people recently, remaining several days. The young folks In the neighborhood took notice, and when they thought she had stayed long enough, they went over and "charlvarled" them. Then the girl went home. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Men are so stupid at the beginning and end of their lives. It takes so much to astonish a man; so little to astonish a woman. Tact is always remembering that a fine needle requires a fine thread. Some people hit you a tremendous blow in the back, and think It Is wit. Some men's names never become prominent outside ef cup cases in bar ber shops. If you want to avoid marrying, young man. don't go with the same girl too long. Give a man your sympathy, but never your pity; It is an Insult to offer, a decent man pity. It takes a strong woman to say that It came from a baker's when a guest praises her cake. There is one thing about having a tooth pulled: It does not have to be done over again. When one married woman hates an other, she shows it by expressing pity for her enemy's husband. There are several ways of raising boys; but Judging from the men turn ed out, all ways are wrong. Before marriage a girl wears rings on her fingers; after marriage she wears them around her eyes. "When a man gets out of the town In which he lives," says an old phil osopher, "he will act in a natural man ner." Every man believes that he does more than his share; every woman will tell you that her neighbor has an easier time than herself. When the price of a hat Is more than a woman can afford, she never admits that the cost prevents her from buy ing it, but says it is unbecoming. In your opinion, how heavy should the fine be for the woman who first thought that, a leaf of lettuce helDed out the eating qualities of a sandwich? The world is made up of three classes of men: those who tell what they know, those who don't tell what they know, and those who tell what they uua l Know. c KANSAS COMMENT OPEN THE DOORS. victor Murdock has struck a new lead. He wants open session for all committee meetings. "Congress is run by committees now," said he. "Debate on the floor counts for nothing. Leg islation is whipped into shape by the committees and forced through con gress under a special rule. There is practically no way to amend a bill on the floor. Open the doors and let the public know what is going on." Hur rah for Murdock. Wichita Beacon. Doubtless there is much argument to be advanced in favor of Mr. Murdock's proposition. It is pretty well understood by the country at large that so Im mense Is the volume of business trans acted in the house annually that it would be entirely out of the question to treat it any other way than through committees. But, because the proceed ings in committee upon any measure rarely get to the public, the public fre quently does not understand the whys and wherefores of the defeat or sup port of the bills introduced. The open ing of the doors would be taking the people Into congress' confidence. Leav enworth Times. ENROLLMENT INCREASED. The spring term at the University of Kansas will open February 10. The courses are so arranged that many new classes will be organized at that time, making it possible for a student to enter and take up the work Just the same as in September. Prospective students are numerous, and the en rollment is expected to pass the 2,000 mark. University Bulletin. MISSOURI GOING DRY. If the present anti-saloon wave keeps on, Missouri will be as dry as a prairie bone in two years. Sixty seven of the 114 counties have voted out the saloons, fourteen elections will be held to vote for and against them in the next four weeks, -.while there are more than twenty other similar elections to be held In Febru ary and March. Atchison Globe. HUGHES SERVES PUNCH. Governor Hughes served some potent sort of punch at a banquet the other evening, and those who partook of It wore out all the wet towels they could find next day. That winds up the Hughes boom. The innocuous cocktail of Mr. Fairbanks shelved him In a hurry, although there Is no record that It ever hurt anybody, or left a decayed taste In a human mouth. Emporia Ga zette. BETTER THAN A BIG NAVY. One-fifth of the money of the entire world belongs to the United States. This is even better than to own the big gest navy. Parsons Sun. CARRIE NATION MISPOKE. Carrie Nation says that she expects to meet every brewer In the hereafter. And we thought Carrie was working all the time to secure an entrance to the other place. Parsons Sun. FROM OTHER PENS THE LATE PANIC. It is certainly in order to congratu late the banking And business com munity on the disappearance of the signs of the recent stringency. Tho New York banks fhave resumed full cash payments and reported a substan tial surplus over their legal reserves. In Chicago and other western centers, where conditions were at no time near ly so bad as in the east, clearing house certificates have not been used for some time, and the extra legal emer gency "currency" is rapidly being re tired. The premium on currency is a thing of the past even in Wall street, and country banks are again sending their surplus cash to the money mar kets. Chicago Record-Herald. A SHORT REMINDER. The destruction by Are of the Parker building In New York city Is a sharp reminder that (fireproof) skyscrapers are not Immune against the perils of conflagration, and that when one of them does fall a victim to the flames the difficulties and dangers encounter-, ed by the firemen are Immeasurably Increased. Syracuse Herald. AMAZING VERSATILITY. According to a New York commenta tor American girls at French schools learn nothing more useful than speak ing French and playing on the mando lin. Still the girl of average intelli gence quickly learns to play upon the skillet and the waffle Iron when neces sity arises. Louisville Courier-Journal.

AN ALARMING SYMPTOM. Stockholders of a wrecked railway property In New York are trying to have the looters thereof sent to Jail. If they succeed it is likely the Jail remedy for rotten financial conditions will be come alarmingly popular and another panic will result, though in this case one not shared by the public at large. Baltimore American. LESSONS OF&THE TIMES. It Is not easy to teach the American people the value of economy, but some of them are learning it, and it will be worth all the self-denial It costs if in the flood of prosperity it is not again forgotten. Nashville American. CLASH OF PROPHECIES. The prophets should get together. A western seer predicts a war with Japan this year; but a foreteller In the east arises to announce that the earth will be destroyed meanwhile. In such a clash of authority It becomes a ques tion whether to build more battleships or to get those insured that are already in commission. Philadelphia Record. REPUTATIONS. After all, U depends upon the repu tation one has succeeded In estab lishing. Everything that Mark Twain writes Is funny, everything that J. Hamilton Lewis does is ridiculous, everything that "Uncle Joe" Cannon says is profane and everything that Roosevelt objects to is smashed un der the big stick. Chicago Record Herald. CARRIE IS DISCOURAGED. Carrie Nation Is not a politician. She announces that she is discouraged at the very moment that she, might be trying to assume credit for a marked progress In prohibition senti ment. Washington Star. HEIGHT AND "pUBLIC SERVICE.

When this reDublic's fathers met To make a nation free They took all big sticks to the world That were or yet to be; They ground the wood into a pulp, A deed of mighty note. And on the paper thus produced The Constitution wrote. McLandburg Wilson In N. Y. Times. Getting Rid of Warts. There is a man in Brookllne who passes his hand over the warty region of any person. Just passes his hand over it, -and the warts all go away. This, too, shows the march of science, and the accompanying pro gress of the race toward the ultimate goal. Forty or fifty years ago the children in New England had two favorite ways of ridding themselves of these excrescences; one was to steal a piece of fresh meat, rub the wart with it, then bury the meat, and as the meat perished so did the wart. This opera tion, to be effectual, must be carried out with the utmost secrecy from be ginning to end. A burial at cross roads Is preferred. Then there was a trick with a stolen string. The boy tied as many knots In it as there were warts; there was burial, relief; all this again was done secretly. There were boys who rubbed milk weed on their warts with good results. The stolen meat remedy is a very old one. There were variants. When Bacon was a youth in Paris before he wrote the works of Shakespeare, Marlowe, Burton, Voltaire and Arte mus Ward the wife of the English ambassador rubbed his warts with lard and then nailed the lard, with the fat toward the sun, on a post of her chamber window which was to the south. The warts went away within Ave weeks; but, like Catiline, they returned. Bacon, who would not have lied about a little thing like this, also mentioned the rubbing of warts with a green elder stick and then burying the stick to rot In muck. A sufferer in certain 'English pro vinces was taken to an ash tree. A pin was stuck in the bark, then with drawn, and a wart pierced with it till there was pain, and then the pin was pushed into the tree. Or the wart was crossed with a pin three times; the pin was stuck in the tree and the wart left the hand for the tree. But a charm was spoken in each case: Ash tree, ashen tree. Pray bury these warts for me. In other provinces the warts were rubbed with the Inside of a bean shell while the victim recited: As this bean shell rot away. So my warts shall soon decay. In Shropehlre each wart was touch ed with a gravel stone. The stones were tied In a bag and thrown away, and this was spoken: Warts, warts, go away. In a month a week and a day. Or beans were stolen, one for each wart, tied up In a paper, carried to the crossing of roads and dropped. The afflicted walked away without looking behind him. But the charm of charms was this: you caught moon shine in a bright silver basin and washed your hands with it- Sir Ken elme Digby said this was an infallible remedy often used; Sir Thomas Browne admitted the practice and did not disapprove; Southey's Daniel Dove was not benefited by the cold moisture of the moon because he used a brass basin, not silver, which is the lunar metal. And now in Brookllne a man simply passes his hand over warts and they disappear. Truly this is a world of wonders. In a few years boys may have no warts at all. Yet there have been men who were proud of these decorations, as Oliver Cromwell Bos ton Transcript. Santiago's Social Parade. Toward dusk, when the lights are be ginning to appear in the shops and the newsboys are calling out the last damp edition of Las Ultimas Notlclas, and the great snow-covered wall of the Andes to the east blazes in the after glow, the young men of Santiago gath er in the neighborhood Of the corner of Huerfanos and Ahumada to watch the young ladies go by. They are dapper and very confident young men, com bining In their demeanor the gallantry of their Spanish Inheritance with a cer tain bumptiousness which since the war which made Chile the master of the west coast Is rather characteristically Chilean. They stare at those who pass some in mantas, some in French dresses with Paris hats and Marcelled hair and In Spanish murmur, half audibly, such observations as, "I like the blonde best," or "Give me the lit tle one." And as they have not yet quite achieved the self-sufficiency of the young men of the Calle Florida in Buenos Ayres retaining still some of that naivete which, in the Interior, causes a stranger to be watched as though he were a camel or a calliope they will stare even at the gringo, com ment on the cut of his clothes or face tiously compare his blunt walking boots with their long, thin ones. They are rather Irritating sometimes, these Huerfanos corner young men, especial ly the young officers In their smart German uniforms? and one dreams of home and a Broadway policeman marching down upon them leisurely with a night-stick and fanning them away. But the young women do not mind it at all; indeed, if they did not rather like It they probably would not so ar range their shopping that, two by two, from the Plaza down past the Hotel Oddo, round the corner and back again, they must so often pass this way. And you will not make yourself at all pop ular by sympathizing, for they would only laugh and say: "Oh, they're all right. That's only their way of be ginning. They're quite sensible and nice when you come to know them." From "Santiago: the Metropolis of the Andes," by Arthur Ruhl, in the Feb ruary Scrlbner. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. On cold, frosty morning the ther mometer Is not an early riser. Even experience won't nourish a man unless it is properly digested. If you are going to pateh up a quar rel don't look for a needle in a hay stack. The bartender may not be quarrel some, but he gives many a fellow a good punch. There may be plenty of room at the top, but the altitude would make most of us dizzy.

Why, that fellow would rather play solitaire than poker.' THE EVENING STORY I A Simple Man. (By Madeline Lewis.) f"-.-. Young Mr. Trask, the lawyer, in tended to be a candidate for the leg islature in the Fourth district. He had the reputation of being sharp, keen and shrewd. Many said he was "up to snuff." Others said that he would see, that the interests of the district were not overlooked. Some thought he ought to have the nomi nation because he was Just beginning his career, and this would give him a boost. The young man had been in Watervale only a year, and as he was only twenty-seven, good looking and bound Jto succeed, he had made a place for himself in society. He could flatter himself that he had made pro gress in every family but one the Thompson family. They called John Thompson "Hon est John." That had been his appel lation for years. He was part farmer and part citizen, and not well off in this world's goods; and yet he had a reputation that plenty of men might envy. His daughter Minnie, an only child, was neither a belle nor a lead er of society, but she was fair look ing and possessed of strong character, and not at all the young lady to be captivated by the personal advantages of the young Mr. Trask. They had met socially, and she had not at all been taken with him. On the other hand, he had been greatly Impressed. Intuition told him that he was not in favor, but the op position only stimulated him. He had easily made friends with the father, but he found that to win the girl's interest would be a far differ ent thing. For weeks It had been a foregone conclusion that Mr. Trask would be nominated and elected, but when the convention was finally called it devel oped that the ring politicians had not counted on the farming community. The men of the plow had become tired of the politicians and their tricks of the promises so freely made and so often broken and when the moment came they broke away and made a surprising nomination. "Honest John" was the nominee. He had never held a political office in his life. He was home and at work. instead of being at the convention, but his friends pledged him to stand, and he accepted It. Only one In fluence decided him in this matter. and that was the advice of his daughter. "Father," she said to him, when the news came, "you are not a poir tlcian, and you are not a schemer; You can't make a speech and you won't be heard of in that body. You are simply a plain, honest man, and you will go there to represent others of the same ilk. It is a time when plain, honest men are wanted at the front. Go there and do your duty as best you can. "I wish Lawyer Trask had got it he sighed. "He can make speeches and mix In with the best of 'em and come home to be talked of in the pa pers. I shall be only a toadstool on a stump. By the way haln t he com ing here pretty often?" "Yes. he calls occasionally." "I thought it was a little oftener than occasionally. "If it is, he Is wasting his time, Father, I dlon't like Mr. Trask. He Is too ambitious to get ahead. He Is so ambitious that he loses sight of the scruples that should guide all hon est men. He wanted to go to the legislature simply as a means to ad vance his own interests." "But I took him to be a young man of good principles." "Politics has no principles, and he se?ks to be a politician. There is but one watchword with them, and that is to win. You will be elected aa an honest man, and not as a politician." "Oh, I shan't do any stealing," smiled the father, "but I'm thinking that I'll feel like a cat in a strange garret up there. I'd a heap rather they had sent some one else, but I'll try It for a term If you say so. Per haps there'll be three or four other old codgers like me to get In with." There was no question about the chagrin and disappointment of the young lawyer over his defeat, but he dissembled fairly well before the girl when he made his next call. He acknowledged that it was something of a set-back, but rejoiced that it was her father who had secured the nomi nation. Before departing he grew sentimen tal and might have made a declara tion of his love if he had not been checked. He must have plainly un derstood that he had as yet created no interest, but in his perversity he determined to continue. Tho farmer had hardly been settled in his seat at the state capital when Trask appeared. He was more than usually deferential and friendly. He could and he did give the honest man many helpful pointers, and it was a fortnight before the errand that brought him there was stated. He was a lobbyist for a certain corpora tion which wanted an old railroad charter renewed. "Honest John" had read and heard something about that charter. He had never fairly got to the right or wrong of it, but when the lawyer came to with him about it and endeavor to en list his aid, John Thompson gave no pledge. Trask was promised that the question should be looked Into, and If It could be conscientiously dne he should receive the farmer's aid. It looked easy for a man who was "up to snuff" to handle this old far mer. He handled others, and then sent them to Thompson to argue and discuss and win him over. Money and promises were freely used, and there came a time When the lobbyist could at least figure on an even vote In the house. "Honest John" still stuck out. He hadn't the acumen to discover where the colored gentleman was hidden, but he had a feeling that he was there In the woodpile somewhere, and he would not commit himself. It was then that the lawyer dropped argument for the more powerful weapon. He knew the financial con dition of the farmer. He doubted if the man had ever had a thousand dollars in his hand. Though rated as "honest," there was a doubt as to whether he could stand temptation, legislative temptation. One night he paid Thompson a visit in his room and went over the whole matter with him, putting every thing In a most favorable light, and when he went away, he left a thou sand dollars in crisp greenbacks on the bureau. That was double the price he had paid others, but he had reasons for increasing the bribe. The money was found after he left, and next day the old farmer came to him to restore it. "It must have been left by some other caller, was the reply. "Prob ably by some one who was in there arguing in favor of my bllL He may spoak to you about it in. the course of the day." "But be was mighty careleaa to 1 leave a thousand dollars lying around that way." "Oh. he isn't worrying about it- Per haps he wanted to make you a little present and took that way pf doing it. it's often done here in the legislature. you know." -It may be, but I've done nothing to earn It, and I don't know more than ten members by name. I wish that the reuer who left it would come back." He was told to harur on to the money until the owner called for it, but he was mucn perplexed and out out. By a curious coincidence, three weeks later. ne round two other farmer members who had come into possession of five hundred dollars each in Just as mys terious a manner. There seemed to be a philanthropist going about among the conscientious members and distrib uting rewards of merit. When the house adjourned for a week and "Honest John" went home to his daughter he had that thousand dollars with him and its history was still a mystery. In a few hours, however, he was enlightened, and he went back to the legislative body to enlighten others. The day finally came when Lawyer Trask's bill was up. He had counted noses and was sure of its passage. He sat there in the utmost confidence, to be amazed and dumbfounded when It was defeated by a majority of three. Honest John and his two farmer friends had recorded their votes among the "noes," although they had been bought and paid for. An hour later the former' had a caller at his room. The caller was a pale faced and des perate. "Mr. Thompson," he said, "I left a thousand dollars on that bureau one night a few weeks ago." "Gee whit taker! But you denied it was yours!" "It was a little present." "But why should you make me a pres ent of a thousand dollars?" "Because because I wanted your help on that bill, and because I was going to ask your daughter to be my wife." "And mebbe you left five hundred dollars apiece for Crane and Williams?" "Y-yes." "And you were going to ask their daughters to be your wife!" "N-o-o." "See here, Mr. Trask." said the old man, after looking at him for half a minute, "If I were you I wouldn't ask Minnie to be your wife. I told her all about the money when I went home. She said as it wasn't yours, and as no one had lost it, and as Crane and Wil liams was in the same fix, that the money belonged to charity. "We sent it down to her, and she di vided it between a couple of orphan asylums, and she's got the receipts to show that it reached 'em. No, I wouldn't ask her. I might object to you as al son-in-law, and she might take it that you were trying to buy your way Into the family. "Lemme Just add that you are a mighty careless man with your money, and if you don't mend your ways you'll bring up in the county house before you are forty years old."

Washington, Jan. 28. The senate committee on finance today gave a hearing to Senator Owen of Okla homa, who is desirous of having the Aldrich bill amended by the insertion of a clause permitting national banks to enjoy the benefit of the laws of any state, which provide for the insur ance of the deposits of the banks of such state. He submitted the follow ing amendment: "Whenever the laws of any state provide for the Insurance of the de posits in the banks of such state and provide further that the national banks of such state may be permitted to enjoy the benefit of such law any national banking association within such state Is hereby authorized to avail Itself of the benefit of such law on a vote of a majority of the stock holders of such national banking as sociation at a meeting called for that purpose; provided that the cost of such insurance shall be paid out of their undivided profits and shall not diminish the capital or surplus of such bank." There was considerable discussion of the insurance feature offered by Senator Owen, but no positive senti ment for Its Incorporation in the Aid rich bill developed. ColdinCiiest Usually one or two robbings re lieve the trouble. Trial bottle 10c for Sore Throat and Elmer Ames, New Cashier ABOUT THE BANK LAW. Letters Received From State Journal Readers on This Question. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 28. To the Editor of the State Journal: Having read the article of Mr. Wil liam Docking of January 23 in the State Journal relating to the much talked of deposit guaranty bills, I as a depositor and reader of the State Journal would like to pass a few remarks myself. Will say that it Is very natural that the bankers don't want any kind of a guaranty bill passed, and again It is very probable that some of the banks of today would like to continue their banking business, by having the de positors simply deposit their money in the hands of supposedly honest men, and under the confidence plan of course, and Just let It go at that. Whereas whenever the farmer or other person wants to make a loan of money from said banks, he of course, is expected, and must put up the very best of security. Confidence in his case don't fill the bill. Furthermore I venture to say that there are any number gof depositors In the state of Kansas who are very deep ly Interested in the welfare of their savings in the many banks throughout the state, and are most willing to ac cept some kind of a guaranty law that will protect the depositor, rather than to continue under the present method of depositing their money in the hands of banks who are affording practically no protection to the depositor. Wild cat banking should become a thing of the past, and for ever, and may the people of this country demand a guarantee for honest banking. Not until then will the people be satisfied. Let the law be en forced and hang- the wildcats by the May the people have a voice. 1 A DEPOSITOR. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 28. To the Editor of the State Journal: There are one or two points Which have not been discussed in the guaran tee fund controversy that is Just now in the limelight, and It might not be amiss if you would take them up edi torially. We are very much Interested in this question of safety for depositors mrmv and anv information and knowl edge we may obtain will enable us to more easily arrive at a correct solu tion of the problem. The very fact that the question is before us Is a sad com ment on the business methods of today. However, as It is with us, we must meet and provide a way to best serve the interests of those most interested the depositors. The Kansas Bankers (National) as sociation opposes the proposed law without rhyme or reason, and from purely selfish motives, as will readily be seen from an analysis of the situation. Of the seven hundred state banks in Kansas fully three-fourths of them are located in small cities and towns and thriving farming communities, where there are no national banks and never will be. A national bank is a sort or an aristocrat among banks and looks with disfavor upon its neighbor the state bank, and does not flourish in the small business centers- and among the farmers. On the other hand the state bank, established as It Is In the small communities of the state, is in touch with a class of depositors which the na tional bank does not get and never would get. It is these depositors that the advocates of a guarantee law pro post to protect, and it looks like a dog-in-the-manger policy for the bankers' association to oppose the proposition. If eighty per cent of the deposits In state banks are In localities where there are no national banks why .should the bankers' association say the proposed legislation is pernicious. They are not Interested. In the consideration and discussion of this question the likes and dislikes of the national banks should not be given a hearing because they will not be parties to the proposed leg islation. Mr. Mulvane says: "Every safe bank will be responsible for every weak bank in the state." Mr. Mulvane Is pessimis tic in his views. If every banker In the state was as careful, conservative and conscientious as Mr. Mulvane there would be no call for a guarantee fund law. In a certain sense every safe bank would be responsible or interested in every other state bank in the state, and the result would be that the weak and wildcat banks would be weeded out. There would be no weak banks. The speculator and the boodler would be eliminated from the business. The bank examiner would make more frequent visits. Of course the wisest and most conservative management some times meetB with misfortune, and for this alone the proposed measure should meet with hearty approval from all. There is one point more which should be discussed and that is. the manner In which the fund of one million dollars or over should be handled, in event the measure becomes a law. It seem that the committee guarantee bill provides mm me rana snail De in charge of the u.iv ciauiiijcr. ana mat ne may Invest it as he sees fit either in bonds or state depositories. There should be no loop-noie or twa Kind for specula tion or misuse of the fund A iw in that shape might neutralise itself in this way. vSunpose that the commis sioner, exercising his discretion, de posited the fund In the state depositofv (some bank in New York City) and that bank failed. The bank commissioner should not handle this fund. It should be Invested in bonds and deposited with the state treasurer. A. GAYLORD Central National Bank. PAY FOR TJNIOX OFFICERS. Mr. Stnbba' Resolution Passes tlie House This Morning. W. R. Stubbs. resolution calling on congress to pass a bill paying all ofll cers of the Civil war the same pay that is sriven to retired officers of the regu lar army, was adopted this morning by the Kansas house of repreaenta- tives. An estimate is made that this bill will cost the government $5,651,790 a year. It might be the next move to par to all officers, their widows and children the back pay for officers for the past forty years, which wouia De quite a tidy sum, even ror tne govern ment of the United States. J. D. Flanigan of Decatur opposed the. resolution. He said that the pri vate soldiers ought to have- back pay, The officers, he said stood on a hill with opera glasses and watched the common soldiers do the fighting. W. Y. Morgan spoke In favor of the Stubbs resolution.. There were sev eral old soldiers in the house who op posed the resolution on the ground that the officers were no more -entitled to full pay on retirement than the men in the ranks.

As second section of freight train No. 96 on the Rock Island pulled into the yards on the south side of the river at 4 o'clock this morning a freight car loaded to the roof with baled cotton was burning fiercely. The car was cut out of the train and put on a side track while a still alarm was sent into the headquarters fire station from which was sent the chemical company and later the truck company from No. 3 station. The fire had not progressed far enough along to eat deeply Into the bales nor to more than scorch the car. The bales were pulled out and though the smoke was exceptionally heavy rendering the work or salvage a aim cult one the fire was finally put out without much loss. The car had a large hole burned in the floor and the bales of cotton, each weighing 155 pounds, were scorched. The shipment was consigned to a Chicago firm. Beckham loses a Vote. TTrankfort. Ky..

Helathy babies don't cry and the well-nourished baby that is fad on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who can not take any other food relish the perfect food, Grape-Nuts, and get well. "My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the con densed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctor told me that the only thlng lo do would be to try Grape Nuts, so I got some and prepare4 it as follows: I soaked 1 4 tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water fJr bale an hour, then I trained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoon fuls of rich mi'.k, put in a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed It and gave it to baby every two hours. "In this simple, easy way I saved baby's life and have built her up to a strong healthy child, rosy and laugh ing. The food must Certainly be per fect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on andis also a deli cious heaithfyl food for srown-ups as we have discovered In our family." Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man or woman. It stands for the true theory of health. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in kg. THE DEBATE OPENS. Senate Begins to Wrestle With Guar anty Deposit Bill.: After a protracted delay occasioned by motions in connection with the mi nority reports on tne several banking bills reported back by the committee Friday, the senate this morning boldly tackled the whole subject of a guar anty bank deposit law by resolving It self Into committee or tne vnoie, sena tor Chapman in the chair, lor the con sideration of bills f under special or ders. Senator Qulncy's Mil, providing tor the security of depositors in the incor porated state banks of .Kansas, creat ing the "State Bank Depositors' Guar anty Fund" of the state of Kansas, and providing regulations therefor, senate bill No. 30, came nrst on tne caienaar for consideration, and Senator Wag- gener immediately moved to amend the first section Dy inciuaing trust com panies In the provisions of the bill. It was replied that the trust compan ies are built on entirely different lines; that they do all kinds of business but banking, and try to do that, and that it would be unjust to authorize them to operate upon the same terms as banks. Waggener said: "The object of tms bill being to protect depositors, why not all depositors? Have bank deposi tors any more sacred right to protec tion than trust company depositors? If this measure is for the purpose of building up a favored class it is uncon stitutional. It is not to protect banks but to protect depositors and such a law as this would be extremely obnoxl-; ous to the people." Stewart asked why not bring in the building and loan associations also; they receive deposits. .Getty inquired why, if the bill was to protect deposi tors, It is not to protect all deposi tors. Waggener's amendment was adopted. The senator from., Atchison then moved another amendment to the same section, providing that '.'before any par ticipating bank or trust company shall receive the benefits of this bill the otrvfchnlders thereof, shall sign an agreement waiving the limitations of their liability unaer tne law anu ao sumine the liabilities of the bank." Tn an encounter between the senator from Atchison and the senator from Saline over this proposition, waggener demanded of Qulncy: "Do you oppose "T nnnnsa loading down the bill; that's what vou are trying to do!" was the a i on'pr "If we are to adopt the amendment of the senator from "Atchison, we might oc n.oii strike out the enacting clause," declared Young. "You will never get the signatures of all the stockholders to any such agreement. This amend ment would make the bill absolutely Ineffective." -V "Why shouldn't the stockholders be willing to sign such an agreement?" asked Waggener. "The fund is simply nu onnthpr security to depositors "T-ir' ths senator from Atchison know that 39 members of this senate are not so silly as. not to Know uau this amendment means," said Getty. "i maa-nsi that It would make the bill ,v,.nit,iv ineffective?" The senator w-orHntte then launched forth In an argument, covering the whole banking question, -that occupied an hour's time. He discussed the action v, hxiira rtiirinir the recent panic 11 UIO in holding back the. money oi ueiu.- tors It was an emergency ihcmuh.. Ho rtpolared deslgnafl to protect depos it, and the people, who have come to understand .financial questions, ac ,,;oi "TSnt are. they going to sub mit to this every month?") the speaker inquired. r 'J-- He related an Instance coming under hie own observation, where a man who anticipated the. coming stringency -and thought he could make some good 4n ,.(mnta .when the. trouble arrived, saved his money and deposited it in a bank. When the crisis was on, the bank would not pay out his money, but iiapfl it for Its Own purpusco,. hnnlf with- it. ..mv. r.r individualism, so far as banks are concerned, Is past," asserted Senator Getty. "If there is any trou ble now you all get together and if it Is In your power you save that bank which may De in oangei, Ha tVir vour own preservation. He discussed the subject of elastic cur rency and others perunem lo tion at great length and with effect. Waggener declared that ther i Is an agitation of the banking question In Kansas at the present time that is cruel and criminal. He charged it to PQuincy stated that the bill now pend ing was written before the recent panic and at a time when he was In his right ""'When was that?" interrupted the senator from Atchison. "About a year ago," Quincy replied. Senator Noftzger closed his discus sion of the bank bill at the noon hour. Senator Robertson Inquired why, it the stockholders are made liable to the full extent for tne aeposres j their bank, there is any need for a. state bank guaranty fund.. He had been investigating matters relating to banks and banking and had found a majority of the stock to be held in some instances by big trust and guar anty companies, whom he termed nominal stockholders; the minority of the stock was held by farmers, who had Invested all their surplus in the venture. When a bank under these conditions' fails, the nominal stock holders lose but little, while the farm er loses his all. Waggener said the farmers should keep out of the banking business. President Fitzgerald announced that the Kansas Day banquet would be held in the basement of the capitol building tomorrow- evening, and that all Re publican senators are invited to at tend. The committee then rose, reported progress and asked leave to sit again, after which the senate adjourned until 2 o'clock. Senator Getty alluded to the history in use In the Kansas schools by virtue of the recommendation of the state text book commission as containing more Inaccuracies than any other book printed in the English language. DODGED THE CROWD. Conat Szechenyi and His Bride Clever ly Eluded the Curious. New York. Jan. 28. Count Szechenyi and his bride who was Miss Gladys Vanderbllt by a clever ruse dodged the curious crowds which thronged the streets near by after the wedding. Immediately after the wedding break fact a brougham, driven by a coach man and footman in the Vanderbllt livery, drove up ostentatiously in front of the Vanderbllt mansion at the Fifty-seventh street entrance. A white rosette decorated the- bridle of the horses and a white ribbon was tied to the whip. The crowd broke through the police lines and swarmed about the equipage. Meanwhile, Alfred Vanderbllt, brother of the bride, drove up quickly to the Fifty-eighth street entrance in a big touring car. The doors of the mansion opened and the countess and her. hus band In their traveling costumes step ped Into the machine and were whirled away before the crowd was aware what had happened. The destination of the bridal couple is said to be Newport, where they will remain until early next month, when they will depart for Count Szechenyi's home In Hungary. A SMALLPOX SCARE. Milk Delivered From Family In Which Disease Had Broken Out. An epidemic of smallpox may oc- cur in the west part of the city. Alma uaivert, a Washburn student, who boards at the home of R. A. Wallace, 1516 West Sixth avenue was taken sick several days ago. The physician at first thought the disease chicken pox, but yesterday City Physician Mitchell declared it smallpox. The family have a cow and deliver milk to a number of customers. TJnwit- tingly the customers were exposed to the contagion of smallpox by the de livery of milk while Miss Calvert was sick More smallpox in Topeka at this time of the year than there has been for four years back is what the rec ords at the office of the city board of health show. December and Jan uary are usually two of the lightest months in the winter season for the prevalence of contagious diseases, but this year seems to be an exception. The month of December just past had a total of 37 while January has thus far a record of 47. Last month there were two cases of smallpox quarantined and in January. 1907 there was but one case of smallpox and In December of 1906 there was one, while not one of these two months of the year for four years back has had the number of small pox cases to report that there have been this year. The existence of so much sickness at this time of the year is due largely, It is claimed, to the warm and ex ceptionally dry winter. NO STOP FOR FUEL. New Tugs to Make Trip From Cam den to Frisco. Philadelphia." Pa Jan. 28. A nov el method has been adopted to get the new tugs Hercules and Goliath, built at Camden, N. J., to San Fran cisco, without .having them stop on the way for fuel. "They are oil burn ers and as there are no fuel oil sup plies to be had after leaving the At lantic coast; until "the vessels reach California the question of having a sufficient amount of oil on hand was one of the highest importance.

A $300,000 beet sugar factory Is one of the strong probabilities in the way of a new industry in the thriving town if Goodland, Kansas, according to Walter Smith, secretary of the Com mercial club of that town. Mr. Smith Is visiting in the city. "We have had a nroDosition iaM fore our Commercial club that we hope r to see spring into a reality," said Mr. 'Smith. "Some ChlHicothe, Missouri, parties, who have had wide experience j In the manufacture of beet sugar and I who have investments in that line at present desire to erect a $300,000 plant at Goodland If we can guarantee 5,000 acres of beets, an 80 acre factory site and a small cash bonus in addition. We have already secured 3,000 of the acrea of the 5,000 required, and I believe that .there will be no difficulty about secur ing the balance. It will mean a big .thing for Goodland and for the sur rounding country. The country Is adapted to raising the sugar beets, the land is fertile and the best water in .the state can be procured at a depth of from 100 to 125 feet. There is an under ground river at that depth and you can .sink a well anywhere and get all the fwater necessary. Goodland is feeling the effects of good times and is pushing right ahead.

Talk about counting your chickens before you order your incubator, a rich Bachelor having called on a girl two or three times and taken her to the theater and a play, the girl and her mother began to wonder why. with all his money, he didn't buy an automo bile and decided to have him attend to this little matter, which he had so carelessly overlooked, at once. They sent for automobile catalogues and other machine literature and picked out a number of models of big touring cars which would accommodate the whole family comfortably and Then when they had Just made arrangements to spend four or five thousand dollars of his money, the fickle wretch switched his attentions to another girl! 4 The drawing shows a very graceful evening cloak of cloth, the model being in lilac broadcloth, embroidered with lilac soutache intermixed with gold. The soutache was braided on the cloth, and had the effect of a deep yoke, with a point on either side in the back, the front braiding extending in-stole effect in the bottom of the mantle. Passemen terie tassels trimmed the points on the back and front of the wrap, and the short Japanese sleeves with plain revere finish of the cloth had full under sleeves of ecru filet and cream tulle lace. 4, The members of the PI Beta Phi sorority, who live in Topeka, gave a cookey shine Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Will Sayre, 811 Lincoln street, in honor of Mrs. Ray Campbell of Wichita and Miss Inez Plumb of Emporia.

McCLINTOCK '"SVf.Vs".0,"' One of the favorite pastimes, in ru ral districts, is the framing and sign ing of petitions to the legislature. This is not a new stunt by any means, and although history has omitted mention of It, there Is little doubt that the Is raelites wrote petitions on dainty little cobblestones with a cold chisel, and forwarded them to Moses, the minority member of the Egyptian legislature. It Is an ancient and honorable custom which has contributed to the brick yard or the wastebasket, according to the era, for untold centuries. The pe tition rarely gets results, but it is a relief to the scribe who gets it out of his system; and harms no one.- A -legislator- should -never throw a petition into the wastebasket without examining it. It may bear the name of some influential person who can pre sent him with a crate of lemons upon his return home. In such cases he should present the document, and make a speech which the reporters will print and distribute among his constituents. This will soothe the savage constitu ents, and when, thereafter, the meas ure asked for is put to the ax, the constlts will hold it against the oth er members, and greet their member with the assurance that he done the best he could." When a petition is circulated, every body signs it. The joke about the gov ernor who signed his own death war rant is not overdrawn, and a busy ru ralist, when approached with a petition by one of the village never-sweats, cannot be blamed for signing without reading the text. Easy Knoujjri to Get Signatures to a Petition. The member of the legislature, In the meantime, has troubles of his own manufacture, without any messages from his district. No matter how short the session, his political enemies are spreading poison during his ab sence. The legislative Ulysses is anxi ous to get home and kill off the suit ors for his Job. Adverse winds from committee chambers blow him off the course, and into strange waters where the red headed Circe of Lawrence is laying for him. When he ties himself to the mast, some Joker cuts the rope. Yea, the legislator is not happy, by a blamed sight, unless, like Uncle Bill Hackney, he would rather lose the Job than stand for a lot of fool advice. It is reported that the house will pass two or three banking bills. This Is good news. If there is anything we need more than anything else, it is two or three banking bills. Among other emergencies now at hand, are six or eight primary election bills, and a doz en or more bills making it a peniten tiary offense for a Republican to vote for a Democrat. Add to this a few bills calculated to further the interests of the Boss, and the dear pee-pul will be satisfied. In the meantime, let us all shout to gether: "Abas the senator from Atchi son, who has the gall to ask whether or not all these bills are constitution al." There is a sad, far-away expression in the monocle of the Joe Chamberlain of the senate. Being a legislator of rare foresight, it is beginning to occur to him that he moved into the Stubbs flat at the wrong time. House cleaning day is at hand, and he can see the shadow of the scrubbing brush and mop stick. It is fpo late to hedge.. His former residence is not for rent, and bis new MEN'S mm 33, 34, 35, 36 509 Kansas Avenue. That will please the most particular drinker. All kinds, per pound from 40o down to 20C abode is becoming more unhealthy each minute. In the new lodge he is not accorded the courtesy due him, and is ordered about by the tyrannical jani tor, who insists on being the Whole Cheese. When he walked in, he thought the word on the door mat was "welcome," but has since discovered that it was "milk-'em." He is not per mitted to wear his pink vest, because pink is the royal color, and may be worn only by the Regent. In the meantime, they miss him at home. (This Is not the Joke. If they miss him when he goes home, it will bo on account of poor marksmanship). His former associates, with loving care, have embalmed his seven-octave vest in moth balls, and are carefully preserving his clever bonmots and bril liant retorts In a hope that he may have occasion to use them again. At present he has no use for his beat brand of conversation. His vocabulary is limited to "Yes, Boss," and "If yor please, Boss. COMMITTED DID I 6FT INTO THS BLAME THNlfi AN WAY The Joe Chamberlain of the Senate. Now this is certainly a bad deal for a man of his attainments, and the fact is beginning to soak into him. It is the guess of his friends that he will soon be asking for a latch key to the club he deserted. DOGS ARE QUOTA'S MOURNERS. Follow to Grave Woman Who Starred Herself to Feed Them. Florence, Italy, Jan. 28. Tfc fu neral of "Onida" was a most pitiful epilogue to her pitiful end.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1908. 7 ATTHE MIDWINTER 5 TO WI. Some of the Things That Peo ple Eat. The Pare Food Law and Its Operation. AMONG THE BOOTHS. Exhibits Continue to Attract Favorable Comment. Nearly Everything to Interest a Housewife. Ground cocoanut shells, ground al mond shells, chicory, olive pits, mace and pepper shells ground fine these are some of the things that formerly passed for black and white pepper before the Kansas pure food law went Into operation, according to the sam ples that are on exhibition at the pure food exhibit at the Midwinter. Kind of a shell game that the manu facturers of spices were playing. Ha, ha! A joke. The adulteration cut both ways for it not only caused the consumer to pay for something that he didn't get, paying a good price for refuse, but It forced him to use more of the same article In order to get his food prop erly spiced. Pay high for a poor pro duct and use more that was on the escutcheon. One of the Japanese Acrobats. Here are some other artful dodges that were caught in the act and broken up: Selling oysters swimming In twice as much water as they should have; raspberry jelly, contain ing 30 per Cent glucose, apple juice and a small per cent of fruit; maple Byrup containing no maple, but made of 90 per cent glucose, ten per cent cane sugar and artificially colored; lemon extract containing 23.02 per per cent of alcohol, no oil of lemon and colored artificially; vanilla, made not from the vanilla bean, but from vanillen, a coal tar product; buck wheat flour containing as high as 50 per cent of wheat flour; pickles col ored artificially, sweetened with sach arine, preserved with benzoate of soda; beans, peas and corn soaked so that they will swell up in size and fill the cans; strawberry jelly, con taining glucose, apple juice, apple peal and cores, acid phosphate, flav ored with a synthetic ether flavor and artificially colored, but contain ing no strawberries, grass seed being put in to give the impression that strawberry seed was present; apple butter made up of pumpkins, apple stock, sweetened with sacharine and glucose and preserved with benzoate of soda; bleaching evaporated apples with sulphuric acid fumes; catsup made out of pumpkins, glucose and saccharine. "If some of these clubwomen would pay attention to what their children are eating rather than to some of these other things, that sometimes engage their time, it would result profitably to them," said John Klein hans, state pure food inspector, who is certainly a brave person to thus throw down the gauntlet. "A great many housewives have no conception whatever of the work that the state Is attempting in insisting on pure food and I think I will be par doned lflstate that it is one of the PILES 20 Years Cured For 50c. lied-IUdden From Piles, Massachu setts Man Is Cured by Wonder ful Pyramid Pile Cure.

A display at the Midwinter especial ly interesting to lady visitors, is that of the Worcester Salt Co., of New York, demonstrating the famous Wor cester Absolutely Pure Salt. This salt which is one of the largest spelling brands of salt, has many advantages over the ordinary salt. Aside from its absolutely purity, it never hardens in a shaker, and if put in a glass of clear water and dissolved will leave the water as clear as crystal. Nobby miniature salt bags are given to all lady visitors. This evening at the Jell-O booth Cherry Jell-O will be served in addi tion to Ice cream made from the fa mous Jell-O ice cream powder.

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies, ueainess is caused by an inflammed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, deafness is the results and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous -surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) tUat can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send tor circulars rree. P. J. CHENET A CO.. Toledo, O.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J0TONAL--TUE3DAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1908. 8 THEY WILL WAIT. (Continued from Page One.) petition from about thirty citizens of Barton county, but which turned out to be a letter to the governor. "Please ay "to our legislators that we want tne best depository guaranty law ana the best primary law that can be paased, without fail," the communica tion ran. Noftzger raised the point of order that it was a document ad dressed to one branch of the govern ment and did not properly belong in another, unless accompanied by a mes sage from the executive. He moved to refer it back to the governor, "where it belongs," and after some rather sharp criticism and sugges tions of action that might have been construed as an affront, as the sena tors admitted, it was so referred. Petitions from Macksville and Staf ford urging the passage of two prohi bition bills were received through Sen ator Chapman. The bills are those authorizing the inquisition, and limit ing the number of permit holding drug stores to one for every 6,000 population. Senate bill No. 91, by Martin of Bourbon, came back from the house in an amended form that disgusted that gentleman. It was an act amending the law relating to the shooting of game in certain counties by striking out the word "Bourbon." This word the house put back, thus making the bill wholly worthless. The senate non concurred with the house amendment and asked for a conference. Martin of Bourbon and Harrison of Osborne were names as the senate conferees. A bill providing for the acquisition, ty condemnation, and operation by cities having more than 50,000 popula 'tion of the waterworks supply plant .and property of any person, company ior corporation, where the franchise 'lias expired or may hereafter expire, j introduced by Enright in the house, I was finally passed. The bill is one 'affecting Kansas City alone and has ibeen drawn three times, being i originally introduced by Senator Getty, who thinks it is all right now and j'hurried it through to get it back to the house. S. B. No. 36, by Getty, also fa waterworas dim, passeu ajca, ox. .'nays, 1. The banking measures came up at 4 p. m. in a motion, carried over from Saturday, which was made the special .order, to consider the minority report of the committee on banks and bank ing. The bills have already been printed and were made the special order for 10 o'clock this morning, taking a place in the calendar. They 'are four in number and known as senate bills 30. 57. 106 and 25. Senate bill No. 65, whose object Is to prevent the double taxation of proper ty, came up on third reading and pass ed. Ayes, 32; nays, 3. The only addi tional amendment made to the bill yesterday was in section 1, which now provides that "real or personal pro perty in any other state, or county in this state, shall be deducted if it be made to appear that the same has been duly listed for taxation In such other state, or county in this state," from the amount of the capital stock of the company or corporation that is being assessed. Getty's bill relating to mechanics' liens and designed particularly for the protection of house movers passed with out opposition. "The senator from Saline (Quincy) says this bill is after the Holy Rollers," Waggener told the senate when Huff man's bill amending the act creating the state board of medical registration and examination came up on third reading. The senator from Cherokee explain ed that his bill makes no change in the present law except as to those who come in under the head of "magnetic healers." "We can't get at them now," he added, "and they practice without paying any fee." "What effect has this bill on the Christian Scientists?" inquired Wag gener. Huffman called attention to line 21 of section 1, which reads: "But nothing In this act shall be construed as inter fering with any religious belief in the treatment of diseases, provided that quarantine regulations relating to con tagious diseases are not infringed upon." "Well," responded Waggener, care fully adjusting his glasses, "has Chris tian Science anything to do with re ligion?" The bill passed, the senator from Atchison alone voting in the negative. Senator Smith's bill relating to the J lowers of judges in vacation, the ob ect of which is the relief of litigants in the short grass country, where there are many counties in one Judicial 'dis trict, a majority of which are off from ,the railroads, was passed after it had been amended in accordance with a Suggestion by Senator Young. It per mits Judges of district courts to exer cise their powers In vacation or at chambers by hearing and determining motions to vacate and modify injunc- tions, discharge attachments, vacate or jders of arrest, etc, and to punish for contempt in open court or at cham bers by fine and Imprisonment, or by either.

Can Eczema be cured? Some physicians say "Yes." Some say "No." The real question is, "What is meant ty Eczema?" If you mean those scaly eruptions, those diseases which make their first appearance, not at birth but years afterward, and perhans not until middle age then there can no longer be any' question that these forms of Ec zema are curable. Simple vegetable oil of wlntergreen mixed with other vegetable ingredients, will kill the germs that infest the skin. Apply this prescription to the skin, and instantly that awful Itch is gone. The very moment the liquid is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing itch disappears, and continued applications of this ex ternal remedy soon cure the disease. We carry in stock this oil of winter green properly compounded into I. D. D. Prescription. While we are not sure that it will cure all those cases of skin trouble which are inherited, we posi tively know that this D. D. D. Pre scription, whenever rightly used, will cure every last case of genuine Ecze ma or other skin trouble, which did not exist at birth. We know this. Anyway you. yourself, will know that D. D. D. Prescription in stantly takes away the itch the moment it is applied to the skin. Geo. W. Stans tield, druggist, 632 Kansas avenue, To peka. Stop that Itch today instantly. Just call at our store and try this re freshing and soothing liquid; also ask Hbout D. IX r. Soap. mous passage of senate bill No. 124. The affidavit was to the effect that the assessor had no assistance what ever in preparing his statement. Senator Dolley's bill providing for the holding of normal institutes at county seats, instead of alternating their sessions between the several towns of the respective counties, did not pass without a fight, which only terminated when the call of the sen ate was demanded and enough ab sentees had been brought in by the sergeant at arms, with changes of votes on the part of those present, to give the bill a constitutional majority, the final vote standing 22 to 12. The opposition came largely from senators in whose counties there are towns larger than the county seat. It was stated in .support of Dolley's proposi tion that as the old law stood there was in some counties a fight every time a county superintendent is elected over the location of the annual nor mal institute. It should be said that the call of the senate was necessitat ed by the absence of so many senators at committee, caucus and conference meetings. The bill defining what shall con stitute criminal slander and prescrib ing punishment therefore, relating more especially to the circulation of false and defamatory reports con cerning banks and banking institu tions, brought out an animated dis cussion and some strong opposition, and was finally referred to the com mittee of the whole senate. Getty wanted to strike out the en acting clause, objecting to the pas sage of a bill that would simply help to "clutter up" the statute books and could never be enforced. "You can't prove slander in one case out of 6, 000," he said. He declared himself opposed to the bill on general prin ciples. He believed the banks enti tled to protection the same as anyone else, but Insisted that the bankers were going too far when they asked him to pass their banks with hat lift ed, walking lightly and speaking with bated breath. Senator Quincy could see nothing wrong in the bill when "the biggest bank between San Francisco and New York (the Kansas City Bank of Com merce) was literally talked to death." The bill will probably be amended so as to apply to "any person or cor poration," instead of merely "any bank or banking institution." LEGISLATIVE NOTES. Representative Rhodes, of Marshall county, who doesn't smoke, treats his friends to shines by tho legislative boot black, in lieu of cigars. The house this morning passed the Enright bill creating a new district court for Wyandotte county. This court is to relieve the crowded condition of the two courts at present doing busi ness in that county. The house of. representative members were again photographed today on the north steps of the state house. The first picture did not include all of th.? members. They are telling this story cn two f the young ladies who have Jobs at the legislature, and who went to Kansas City Sunday. They dropped into a res taurant for dinner, and while there an old lady came and sat down at the same table with them. The old lady finished her meal and left before the legislative rosebuds were through, and when the r. b's stepped up to pay their bill they were invited to pay the old lady's bill, too. "She said you were her daughters and would pay her bill," ex plained the clerk. There might have been a scene but the young ladies paid the bill. The official photographer of the San ta Fe railroad, who is making pictures of the legislature, has arranged to make a photograph of Senator Fitzpatrick in the act of surrendering to the Stubbs bill whenever that event takes place. T. W. Morgan of Ottawa, Phil Kelley of White Cloud and J. S. Simmons, speaker of the house, the three direc tors of the Hutchinson reformatory, are holding a meeting in Topeka today to select a permanent superintendent for the Hutchinson reformatory. Mrs. J. S. Simmons and Mrs. W. L. Cunningham, the wives of the speaker and speaker pro tem of the house, wha have been here attending the session, have both returned to their homes. The members of the house today took up a collection to pay for some flowers to be sent to Representative J. W. Creech, who is so ill at his home in Herington. A pamphlet relating to the culture of green bugs has been distributed among the representatives and sena tors. This is for the purpose of boom ing the bill which apropriates $10,000 to exterminate this destructive bug. It is understood that W. R. Stubbs has taken up Miller reapportionment bill, and will try to have it acted upon at the present session. Now can any body tell why Stubbs should want a bill which gives three more repre sentatives out in Senator Long's coun try, and three less in eastern Kansas? ROCKEFE3JjER OVERWHELMED By Army of Unemployed That Re sponded to Offer of Work. Tarrytown, N. Y. Jan. 28. Follow ing the announcement that John D. Rockefeller had directed the superin tendent of his estate at Pocantico hills to give work on the estate to the Tar rytown men who are out of employ ment, an army of unemployed, the largest ever seen in this part of the state marched down on the estate yes terday. The superintendent declined to furnish work for any of the appli cants except those who live In Tarry town or in the immediate vicinity of the estate. Shot Up His Boarding; House. Saginaw, Mich., Jan. 28. William Menzenkoch, a miner, was brought here under arrest last night from Swan Creek, a mining settlement 14 miles from here, charged with attemntri murder. Menzenkoch Is alleged to have discharged a shotgun in a boarding house assembly room, when the place was crowded with boarders, four of whom were Injured by the shot. Some of the men had been drinking and Menzenkoch became enraged at being made the butt of their Jests. Cardinal Richard Is Dead. Paris, Jan. 2 8. Francois Marie Ben jamin Richard, cardinal and arch -bishop of Paris, died here today of congestion of the lungs after a short illness. Cardinal Richard was born at Nantes, March 1, 1819, and was made a cardinal in 1889. Another" Railroad Law Falls. Jefferson City, Mo.. Jan. 28. The Missouri supreme court has decided the law requiring that free return transportation be given to shippers with each carload of live stock by the railroads of this state is unconstitu tional. I WOULD PASS THREEBILLS House Takes Liberal Position on Bank Guaranty Law. After spending about three days' work on the proposition in committee of the whole, the house of representa tives has recommended for passage three bills on the subject of guarantee of bank deposits. One of these bills Is the Ham-Wag-gener bill for insurance of bank de posits, which, under the chaperonage of the state bankers' association, was favorably acted upon today. Another was the straight guarantee deposit bill, drafted on the plan of the Quincy bill by the special committee of nine in the house. The third is what is known as the "Ham bill," providing for the guaran tee of deposits by means of surety bonds filed with the state by each bank to cover the full amount of its deposits. Numbers two and three on this list will not both be passed. The chances are that three will be killed, for the two plans are conflicting, and could not both be operated. The discussion of these three bills in committee of the whole was decidedly tiresome. Lots of minor amendments were proposed, and some were favor able acted upon. All of the bills are placed on the calendar subject to amendment and debate, which makes it possible to prolong the discussion when they come up in the house. An effort was made to kill. the Ham bill in committee of the whole, but the sentiment was in favor of allowing It to have a hearing on the floor of the house, though the sentiment seems to be In favor of the committee bill. GOSSIP FORM THE HOI SK. W. B. Ham's "inquisition" bill which got Representative Martin into trou ble with C. W. Trickett, was passed by the house this morning by a vote of 77 to 17. This bill Is a reenactment of the old law declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. It gives county attorneys the right to subpoena wit nesses in liquor investigations. R. S. Hendricks, representative of Rawlins county, now a resident of Ne braska, has packed his grip and evacu ated. He was disgusted with the pro ceedings of the legislature, and mad at the way the bank deposit guarantee bill was being handled. Hendricks was a Democrat, and an active member of the house. There was a big fight on the bill proposed by the committee on agricul ture to pay a 10 cent bounty on goph ers and moles. A lot of the members said it would bankrupt their county to pay such a bounty. Others insisted that a man couldn't make 50 cents a day catching gophers at 10 cents each. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 4 to 41. The house this morning passed in an omnibus the following bills to which there was no opposition, the vote stand ing 104 to 0: Senate 69, Hoffman, amending act creating board medical registration and examination. House 124, Jeffries, enrollment of Civil and Spanish war veterans by cen sus. House 115, Stone, amending railroad commission law relating to collection of penalties. House 101, White, relating to assess ment of penalties by railroad commission-House 128, Boggs, relating to refund ing debt in cities third class. House 20, Lehman, relating to stop ping trains in Labette county. House 102, Hart, protection of ante lopes. Petitions with 300 signers were read in the house this morning from Cowley county, asking for the enactment of a guarantee deposit law. The house voted to nonconcur in sen ate amendments to house bill 45, the Kansas City, Kan., waterworks bill, and asked for a conference committee. The bill prohibiting the killing of an telope and deer for ten years was pass ed this morning by the house. The penalty is a fine of from $25 to $500, and a reward of $25 is offered for informa tion leading to the arrest of deer kill ers. SAID A GOOD WORD FOR BURNS. Topeka Soots Listened to His Songs and Talked About Each Other. Bobble Burns, the great Scotch poet, was remembered last night by the Topeka Scottish society, about two hundred members of which gath ered in Gemmell hall at the Y. M. C. A to pay their respects to the great est poet of nature on the anniversary of his birth. It was distinctively a Scotch gath ering. Everybody who was there had some traces of Scotch ancestry. The flag of old Scotland In the time of the Stuarts formed part of the decora-, tlons. John MacDonald went through the audience and distributed some native Scotch heather. The program which was given was mostly musical and Scotch music was sung as it has never before been sung in Topeka. There were a few short talks, chief among which was that of T. A. McNeal, who Is a cross between Irish and Scotch. Mr. Mc Neil was introduced by John S. Daw son, assistant attorney general, who presided as the descendant of a Scot tish lord of some three hundred years ago. Mr. McNeal admitted the truth of this charge, but explained that the Scotch race must either be degenerat ing or they were mighty hard up for earls some three hundred years ago. Mr. McNeal explained that his ances tors stopped off in Ireland a few years before coming here. His remarks were chiefly confined to lauding the Scotch as a people and In this the Irish were also included. He closed his remarks by a tribute to Burns, whom he described as the greatest poet of nature. He disagreed with Carlyle and maintained that Burns, without an education, was a greater poet than he would have been had lie DINNERWARE We carry all our standard patterns of Dinnerware in open stock for your convenience.

McCLINTOCK Tea-Coffee-Crockery 815 KANSAS AVENUE been a cultured man, as culture would have robbed him of his familiarity with the simpler things which he de picted in his verse. A Scotch gathering without John MacDonald on the program would not be complete, so he was called upon. He tersely described the Scotch cos tumes and the various clans of Scot land, among the greatest of which was the MacDonald clan. Every Scotchman is supposed to blow his own horn. The Jingling melodies of Scotland which are so familiar to all formed the music for the evening. Peter Mc Nab, Miss Grace Page, David Bowie, Miss Mcintosh, Miss Terry, and a quartet composed of Miss Mcintosh, Miss Terry. Dr. Elmer Hill and Da vid Bowie, accompanists Miss Effle Page and Miss Edith Gabriel. All the numbers of the program were heartily applauded and encored. The singing of Miss Brown in "Coming Thro' the Rye," was especially fine and called out prolonged applause. She was forced, to respond with "An nie Laurie," which she rendered in a way that could not but touch the ten derest feelings of the older Scotch people. Miss Brown is one of the coming sopranos, of Topeka. She is soloist in the Second Baptist church. Arthur Morton, occupied a leading place on the program. He appeared In the tartan kilts of the royal fam ily of the Stuarts and appeared In im personations which were taken from the works of Harry Lauder, a leading Scotch comedian. WILKERSON COULDN'T DO IT. Sheriff Falls to Secure ..Lind, Handcuff Wizard. the Sheriff Wllkerson, with three pairs of handcuffs from the jail, tried to secure" Lind, the handcuff wizard, who performs at the Majestic theater. Last night Llnd almost immediately released himself from the handcuffs. Sheriff Wilkerson tried every pair of handcuffs which he had, but was un able to find any which could offer any material resistance to Mr. Lind's efforts. The audience greatly enjoy ed Sheriff Wilkerson's discomfiture. Lind is not only a wizard with the handcuffs, but knows how to escape from the straight Jacket as well. This morning he was asked by a State Journal reporter Just how he' man aged to take off the straight jacket. Lind says that he has to dislocate his shoulder and by extraordinary exer tion, he pulls it off with his teeth. The kind of straight Jacket which he uses is one which he brought from Leavenworth where he played last week'. He Invites anyone to place It on him and If necessary they can place more holes in the straps, and can do anything they wish to prevent his escape. Llnd further says that he has no confederate to assist him in unloosening the straps. He does that by rolling around. Last night at the Majestic he opened a pair of Spanish handcuffs in view of the au dience with the- exception of turning his back. He does this to convince the audience that he does not use a key.- The handcuffs which he uses were brought here by a deputy sheriff of Geary county. Lind Is planning to give a public exhibition sometime during the week as soon as he can find something to make it sensational. During his ca reer he has broken out of over one hundred prlsons'ln various parts of the country. His 'straight Jacket stunt Is certainly a ricft 'bne. NO LIGHT ON JOSLtV. DEATH. Coroner's Jury Finds That He Died From Unknown Causes. The coroner's Jury Impaneled! to en quire into the cause of the death of J. A. Joslin whose body was found at his home In Oakland several days af ter death, returned a verdict this morning finding that the deceased came to his death from causes un known. The Jury consisted of C. E. Rundtell. William Bartlett. C. W. Thompson, John W. Cook, Fred Young and Asa Autrlm. A number of witnesses testified but their stories threw but little light on a possible cause for the death of Jos lin and it will probably never be known whether It was a case of suicide or murder though all of the circum stances point to the latter. Mrs. Levlta White of North Topeka testified that Joslin had assisted her with her house work during the week before his death and that he left her home Mon day evening, In an Intoxicated condi tion and stated that he "had a notion to jump into the river." This is the only thing that sug gested suicide to the jury and their verdict Indicates that they did not con sider it of enoujh importance to find a verdict on this testimony alone. Several of the neighbors living near the Joslin home in Oakland testified as to the peculiarities of the old man and his fondness for liquor It is said that at one time Joslin was one of the best known conductors on the Mis souri Pacific railway system and had a run out of an Iowa town but lost his place on account of the drink habit. His relatives. If he has any, have not been located and the body has been burled by the county in the potter's field. FOREIGN MISSIONARY RALLY.

Five-of the six remaining buildings at the old Free dom Labor Exchange colony, 18 miles northwest of the city, were burned by incendiaries Monday afternoon. Frank Cotton, secretary of the old exchange, lived in one of the houses and John Fitzgerald, ex-president of the colony, was moving into another of the build ings. Victor Hero occupied one of the buildings. Cotton is a socialist writer and lec turer. He settled In the colony when Carl Brown, a son-in-law of General Coxey. took up his abode in a dugout on the colony site In 1896. The social ists of the colony believe that enemies of socialism fired the buildings. Each building was unmistakably saturated with- coal oil and the fires were started evidently one after another. Cotton was at his mother's home and her house was not set on fire. The Freedom Labor Exchange colony was established in 1890 on a 60 acre tract which was deeded by President Fitzgerald to the incorporated exchange under certain .communist restrictions. I The co-operative Idea was carried out successfully for some years and busi ness was done on lithographed scrip, carrying out the idea that money has no Intrinsic value, but merely is a me dium of exchange. A sorghum mill, coal shaft, barrel factory and several other enterprises were operated and the products widely sold. In 1902 dissension arose in the colony and a receiver was appointed in March of that year.'- PROPERTY IS MOVING AGAIN. Real Estate Men Dispose of Several Topeka Homes. "Judging from our business during the past week or ten days I should say that Topeka has entirely recovered from the effects of the recent financial flurry," said Elmer Barnes, of the Barnes Realty company. "We have sold 15 or 20 pieces of property and have a number of other large deals In sight. Among the sales made by our firm during this time is the home place of J. B. Marshall, 310 Quincy street, which was purchased by A. A. Vogel, who is employed in the mechanical de partment of the Santa Fe. The pro perty brought $3,350. "T. H. Mitchell, a traveling man who will move to Topeka at once purchased the C t. xnompson property at ima Tyler street, paying $4,500 for it. We sold another piece of property to a traveling salesman who will take pos session of it at once as a home. This was the G. W. Hamilton home at 1126 Clay street, which was purchased by C. J.

HIS CLOCK WAS SLOW. Unreliability of Time Robert. Piece Cost Because he was convinced that his clock was five minutes slow, Robert Harrison of 1132 North Central avenue pleaded guilty Monday In the police court to keeping open Sunday and was fined $5. For some time past Harrison has invited his acquaintances to his home Saturday night for a rcolal dance at so much per dance and following his cus tom the same thing happened last Sat urday. It seems that Harrison has had a habit in the past of stopping the clock just before the midnight hour and al lowing the dancers an extra hour or so off of the first few offered Sunday. It was to this practice that the neighbors complained and it was this which caused his arrest. When arrested, a few minutes after midnight, he protest ed that his watch and clock were right, but Detective Judkins convinced him of his error and a confession of guilt indicates that he lost confidence in his time pieces during tho night. FREIGHT HEARING GOES OVER. Continued to Give Railroads Time to Investigate.' After the state railroad commission had Introduced all its exhibits and ta bles In the hearing of the freight rate case Monday, the railroads asked for a continuance so that they may have copies of all the tables and exhibits made for the purpose of securing re buttal testimony. The railroad commission consented to this, and the hearing was post poned indefinitely. It may take the railroads a long time to get ready to continue the hearing. The railroads have a way of taking their time to such matters. Condemned Fifteen Posters. Newark, N. J.. Jan 28. The com mitee of the Newark common council charged with the task of censoring theatrical posters under an ordinance recently passed, held Its first meeting yesterday and refused to permit the posting of fifteen posters of various sizes. A delegation of ministers was present by invitation and assisted the committee. The theatrical men de clared that the committee exceeded its authority and threatened to carry the fight to the courts.

"The New Black Crook," as ar ranged by Miller and Plohn and 111011 was seen at the Grand last night, bears little semblance to the original Black Crook which created such a furor in theatrical circles some forty years ago. Were it not for the retaining of the thin little ro mance around which the Black Crook was built there would be little In common between the old and the new and one who had seen the for mer would hardly recognize it in the latter. Instead of being a spectacular extravaganza of the sensational or der the production has developed in to a nice clean little musical show with a small chorus to take the place of the chorus of years ago that num bered all the way from fifty up. The show as it now stands provides a fairly good entertainment in which there are a lot of high class vaude ville specialties which are given by some clever people. One of the clev erest of them is Miss Bessie Brown ing who does impersonations of Vesta Victoria, Anna Held, Eva Tanguay. Alice Lloyd and Eddie Foy. Her characterization of Eddie Foy In his camel song is particularly good. J. Edward Pierce and Miss Marie Roslyn, presented a character sing ing act, which was good and The Four Donazettas, are rightly styled on the program as "amazing Etiro- pean acrobats." They are about the best acrobats that have been seen in Topeka this season. "Mirth is God's Medicine," was one of Henry Ward Beech er's maxims.

In her AND SCRATCHED All the Time Torturing Eczema Covered Her Body Could Not Sleep Doctor Said Sores Would Last for Years Skin Now Clear. CURED IN THREE MONTHS BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "I take great pleasure in telling you what a great help it was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were so bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched ail the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doc tor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had de- E ended on the doctor my baby would ave lost her mind and died from the want of aid. "I used all the remedies that every body told me about and I tortured the child almost to death. Then I saw in the paper how Cuticura was the th'rii; for irritating skin. I bathed her with warm water and Cuticura Soap sr.d used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured In three months. Now her skin is as clear and smooth as it could be. I shell recommend the use of Cuticura wherever I see the skin in bad condition. Al'ce L.

Cuusura Book oa Skla xl BABY GIRL CIO new comedy, "The Girl Who Looks Like Me," there is said to be more laughs than is contained in any play now on the boards. It fairly bub bles over with mirth and merriment and is full of sunshine and vigor. Clever Anna Belmont as Miss Oster man's chief assistant and the com pany comprises a splendid collection of comedians. Miss Osterman's tour is an ovation, and her coming to this city should be hailed with delight. The brilliant comedienne comes to the Grand on Wednesday evening. The Grace Cameron Opera com pany will be seen at the Grand on Friday night in what is reported to be one of the chief musical successes presented in years, "Little Dollie Dimples."

Joseph Bollock, who while in a drunken frenzy bea.t his neighbor, An drew Mauer, to death at the home of the latter the first Sunday in Septem ber, has been surrendered to Sheriff Wiikerson by his bondsmen. T. P. Eakes, John Artz. Jacob Ekas. Kato Polneck and Susie Slater. The kiiling was a brutal affair and when Bollock was arraigned in the city court a week later he waived his preliminary triai and was bound over to the next term of court under bond of $2,500 and his case has not been reached. Boilock went to the home of the victim and becoming enraged attacked him with a chair and after knocking him unconscious kicked him in the face, gouging out one of his eyes and jumped on his abdomen. The lauer injury was the one which caused death during the following night, just about the time Bollock was locked in the county Jail. All of the parties interested in the case are Russians and the preliminary trial was carried on through inter preters as the triai in the district court wiii be when it is reached. Bollock Is said to be a hard workine. erood- hearted man when sober but a fiend when drinking and his appetite for drink has brought him before the courts on several occasions for abusing his wife and family. This is a.so in all probability the reason that his b n isiiien surrendered him to the sheriff Monday, as they aigneu tne Dona with the understand ing: that he should leave liquor alone. They claim that he came home last niht under the influence of iiquor and commenced to abuse his wife and fani- i V.y as was his old custom, and one of j the woman who signed the bond, as I weli as one of the largest property owners on it, asked to be released. Learning this the remainder of the bondsmen asked to be released ana there was nothing for the sheriff to do but p'.ace Bol.ock in the coun'y Jail, where he will refrain from the use of liquor for a while at least. Bollock has a different version of the affiir and claims that he had not been drink in? but was merelv correcting one of his boys who h'd appropriated a sum of money and squandered it.
