FOUll IIUNMl'D GUESTS That Is the Number the Offi cers Expect. Goyernor Sheldon of Nebraska Guest of Honor. Attorney General Jackson Will Talk of the Octopus. The Kansas Day club banquet will begin at 6 o'clock this evening in the basement of the rotunda of the state Capitol. It is expected that about three or four hundred guests will attend this big annual dinner of the Republican party of Kansas. The attendance will doubtless be somewhat cut down by the fact that there are no railroad passes. In past years, hundreds of people have been brought to Topeka on free transportation furnished through candidates for office. Every state officer has sent out free railroad transportation to all his friends who wanted to come to Topeka, and many of the state officers or candidates for office have also furnished free tickets to the banquet to their particular friends. These tickets cost $2 apiece. TV. H. Vernon, Secretary of the Club. This afternoon, the annual election of officers will take place, and this is always an event of considerable inter est because of the rivalry for the places. The programme this evening, after the dinner is disposed of, is as follows: Music Washburn Glee club. President's address John S. Daw son. Hill City. "Kansas" Russell E. Butler, Kan sas university. "Radicalism vs. Conservatism" V.'. B. Ham, Stockton. "Agricultural Education" E. R. Nichols. Manhattan. Music Washburn Glee club. "Our Platforms" J. X. Tinchei-, Medicine Lodge. "The Serpent, the Octopus and the Elephant" Fred S. Jackson, Eureka. "Republicanism" Governor George E. Sheldon, Lincoln, Neb. The menu for the banquet tonight looks very attractive. Mrs. Julia A. Wiley will be the caterer, and the work of preparing the long tables in the basement of the dome commenced this morning. It is the intention of the officers of the club that the serving shall begin promptly at 6 o'clock. The menu is to be as follows Oyster Cocktail Wafers Celery Mock Duck Lyonnaise Potatoes June Peas Warm Rolls Sliced Turkey Cranberries Olives Radishes Pickles Sliced Ham Cold Tongue Coffee Fruit Salad on Tomatoes Cheese Wafers Xeapolitan lee Cream Nut Cake Spanish Chocolate Angel Food Macaroons Fancy Kisses Assorted Fruits Butter Wafers Peanuts Salted Almonds CafeNoir Cigars Carnations (Memory William McKinley) There were two candidates being boomed this morning for the office of president of the club. They are S B Haskins. representative from Johnson county, and James F. Getty, state sen ator from Wyandotte countv. J. YV. Tlncher of Medicine Lodge Wlin Will Discuss "Platforms! Haskins was supposed to represent me miii-oiuuDs crowa, and Getty the "Stubbs" crowd, but the factional fight Is not as sharply drawn as It was last year when Brandon and More house were the candidates. It was more like a fight between the house and the senate.

Mason of the supreme court. John S. Dawson, president of the Kansas Day club, who will make a speech tonight, is a big-boned, big hearted Scotchman, who has lived in Kansas a good while but not long enough to wear the burr off his tongue. Mr. Dawson's home is Hill City, Graham county, where he taught school and practiced law before accepting a position in the office of Attorney Gen eral C. C. Coleman as special assistant In charge of the school bond litiga tion. Dawson has now been in Topeka for six or eight years, and is first assist ant in the office of Attorney General Jackson. Indications are that if Mr. Dawson desires to get into the game, he can have the Republican nomination for attorney general when Mr. Jackson is through with the job. Mr. Dawson is a good lawyer, a tireless worker, a scholar and an orator. Mr. Dawson's speech tonight will be full of Republi canism, and it may also contain a few jolts for the octopus. It is rather unusual for one office at the state house to furnish two orators for the Kansas Day club programme. Attorney General Fred S. Jackson, Who Is Kxpreted to Smash the Octopus. This year, however, the attorney gen eral's department is accorded this honor. In addition to Mr. Dawson, president of the club, one of the ora tors this evening Is Mr. Dawson's chief. Attorney General Fred Schuyler Jack son, the man who came into the office a year ago as an unknown country law yer, and has leaped to the front rank of prominence because he has dared to enforce the laws of the state against joints, brewers, corporations and trusts without fear or favor. John S. Dawson, Who Will Deliver the President's Address. Attorney General F. S. Jackson comes of sturdy pioneer stock, his. father having been associated with John Brown in early Kansas history. His home is Eureka, Greenwood county, where he was for a number of years engaged in the practice of law. Mr. Jackson was active in local politics, and his friends decided he would be a good man for attorney general of the state. Without making any pledges to any body. Jackson went before the con vention as an "anti-slate" candidate, and was triumphantly nominated. Jackson was a classmate In law school of Attorney General Hadley of Missouri, and he decided to follow the same plan in Kansas that Hadley had followed in Missouri. He proceeded to enforce the laws as he found them on the statute books, and the result Is that he has made Kansas a drier state than it ever was before, besides keen. ,,n. Harvester and other trusts on the griddle ever since I he took office. His address tonight has a suggestive title.

THEY HELD THE SACK Two Men Arrested Possessing IncriminatinglEvidence. They Confessed and Implicated a Third Party. Mansfield, O., Jan. 29. Shortly after midnight last night two masked men entered the office of the Adams Express company at the union station here, knocked William Depew, the agent un conscious and got away with $3,000 while nearly fifty passengers stood about the station waiting for trains. A bag containing $40,000 in gold lying near the $3,000 was overlooked by the rob bers. The men on entering the office asked Depew for a package they said must have arrived on a train too late for de livery. While Depew was looking for the supposed package one of the rob bers struck him on the head and knock ed him unconscious with a gas pipe. The other robber covered George Mc Ginty, a friend of Depew, with a re volver and the first robber then went through the safe. Then keeping Mc Ginty covered, the men ran from the express office and disappeared. Depew lay unconscious for more than an hour after aid had been summoned by McGinty. When the robbery was reported, Detective Fitzgerald of the Pennsylvania railway force and the local police made a number of arrests, but none of the men has been identified by Depew and McGinty. Bloodhounds were this morning placed on the scent. Telegrams were promptly sent to the police of all nearby towns and as a re sult, John McCue and Joseph Stevens were taken Into custody at New Lon don. They had the sack taken from the express office containing $3,000. Stevens, the police say, confessed and implicated McGinty. According to Stevens' story, the money arrived late last night from Delphos. Ohio, and was consigned to a bank at Hamilton, Ohio. Stevens said McGinty, who has a reformatory record, tipped off the arrival of the money and cooked up the scheme with him and McCue to rob the office. As soon as this in formation was wired here, McGinty was locked up. He denies the charge. CLEARED $160,984,477. Last Year the Best In the Steel Trust's History. New York, Jan. 29.

Dramatist George Ade's alleged "affinity," fashionably attired but with a voice filled with bit terness, tears of woe streaming down her cheeks, and with a dramatic air which carried conviction, entered the Auditorium Annex last night, where the members of the Indiana Society of Chicago were gathered for a spread. She claimed Ade as her own. caused blushes of the brightest crimson to mantle his cheeks, and then led him away to one side, where she tried to converse amicably with. him. The stranger claimed to be from France. The members of the Indiana society were all deeply chagrined for the time. being' by the unlooked for intrusion, especially as Ade was one of the guests of honor. Chagrin changed to hilarity when the feminine treble of the sup posed "affinity" changed to a deep bass, and the fact became apparent that the stranger was not a woman at all. just a plain member of the society with false hair and other fixings. It was all a joke, anyhow. The occasion was the Indiana socie ty's third anniversary, the celebration starting with a reception at the Press club, where President Richard Henry Little toasted the 300 members, and concluded early this morning in the ball room of the annex with verses by Wilbur Nesbit on "Indiana as a State of Mind." First Cousins to Utah. Arkansas City, Kan., Jan. 29. Har ry Beck and Miss Millie Ray. both of this city, have gone to Utah to be mar ried. Under the Kansas law they could not marry here, being first cousins. They are quite prominent here.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY FIRE AT NEWTON. i Destroys Thompson's Liyery Barn and Thirty Horses. First DiscoTered at an Early Hour in a Haymow. LOSS ABOUT $130,000. Extended to the Large Lehman Two-Story Hardware.. The Kansas State Bank and Johnson Drug Store Scorched. Newton, Kan., Jan. 29. Fire was discovered breaking out of the hay mow of the Thompson livery barn at the alley at Sixth and Main streets at an early hour this morning. The ex act cause is not known but it is thought carelessness in lighting a lan tern or a pipe caused the trouble. The barn and contents consisting of 30 horses and buggies and harness were destroyed. Adjoining on Main street was the Lehman Hardware company consisting of three fronts of two stories each. This building, which was full of hard ware, w-as also destroyed. The Kansas State bank and the Johnson drug store- were badly scorched but the furniture and most of the contents were removed. The bank caught Are on the roof shingles and was injured $500 worth. The Wallace-Farrington harness shop building, next to the Lehman hardware store, was damaged in the sum of $1, 500 and the stock $1,000. A bad wind came up about 8 o'clock which made fighting the flames suc cessfully almost impossible. The loss is estimated at about $135,000. The Wichita fire 'department, with a fire engine and hose, came up on a special train. The fire was put out shortly after 9 o'clock FIRE DOES DAMAGE. Loss of $750,000 to Kelson Morris Packing Plant at Kansas City, Kan. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 29. Fire of unknown origin started in the canning department on the second floor of one of the twin buildings of the two million dollar packing plant of Nelson Morris Co.. on the Kaw river, in Kansas City, Kansas, last night, threatened de struction of the entire plant and caused loss estimated at $750,000 be fore it was controlled. All effort to save the east main building in which the fire started and the box factory was abandoned within a half hour after the flame weffc- discovered, and the firemen devoted themselves to tho work of saving the other buildings. The building in which the fire started con tained the canning department, the coolers, the dressing room, the -wholesale department and killing beds, and the contents supplied the fire with fuel which made the flames difficult to combat. The Are had gained great headway before the fire department ar rived, and the heat was so intense that it was impossible for the firemen to make any progress in checking it ex cept to prevent its spreading. The box factory in the rear of the main build ing was entirely destroyed. The flames also spread to the cattle chutes, many of which were burned. The other main building contains the general office and the engine room and much salvage from the burnei building was carried into it. The Nelson Morris Co.'3 packing plant was the newest in this city, hav ing been completed two years ago. HE MET BOB EVANS. Argentine Admiral Sailed Around the American Fleet. Buenos Ayres. Jan. 29. Rear Admiral Betheder, minister of marine, has re ceived the following radiogram from Admiral Hipolita Oliva, who is in com mand of the Argentine squadron or dered to meet the American battleships and escort them down the coast: "At 7 o'clock on the morning of Jan uary 26, we had the first radiographic communication with the battleship Connecticut flagship of Rear Admiral Evans, which we joined at 9:30 o'clock at night. The Argentine vessels es corted the America" squadron until 9:30 o'clock on January 27, when flag salutes were exchanged with full cere monial. Having effected the salute, we made two runs around the squadron at a speed of 14 knots, and then left the American vessels about 125 miles from Mar Del Plata.

Littleton Makes His Argument for the Defense In the Trial of Thaw for the Murder of White. JEROME STAYS AWAY. Acquittal Is Asked on Ground of Insanity. the Many Prominent Lawyers and Men of Affairs Present.' New York, Jan. 29. Martin W. Lit tleton, chief counsel for Harry K. Thaw today made his appeal to the Jury which is to pass judgment on his client. Before a crowded court room, the attorney devoted himself to dem onstrating that Thaw was clearly In sane when he killed Stanford White. Mr. Littleton declared that the serious evidence of the defense had been met only by sneers and Insinuations from District Attorney Jerome. -Thaw's in sanity, he said, was not a thing born of aa exigency but was ground by heredity into the-very history of the man. Mr. Littleton said he was convinced the defense had produced facts to tend to show Thaw Insane, beyond all doubt, though the law had not imposed that duty upon it. It was for the prosecu tion to prove Thaw sane, and Mr. Lit tleton asserted that he could not un derstand how Mr. Jerome could come before the Jury and claim he had ful filled the burden placed upon him and ask for Harry Thaw's conviction of murder. The speech was listened to with close attention by the jurors. The demand for seats so far exceed ed the capacity of the court chamber that the police In charge had their hands full in handling the disappoint ed crowds. For the first time since the taking of testimony was begun Evelyn Nesbit Thaw occupied a seat in the court room. Mrs. William Thaw, the mother, Mrs. George L. Carnesie, the sister, and Josiah Thaw, a brother, also were in the family group. The bar against women spectators was sus pended and there were many of them on hand when Justice Dowlins took his place on the bench. Attracted by Mr. Littleton's reputation as an orator, prominent lawyers and men of affairs from all parts of the country were in cluded in the court room throng. It was 10:50 when Mr. Littleton arose and began his plea to the jury in behalf of Harry Thaw. District Attorney Jerome, who made a point of remaining away from the court room throughout the summing up of TIT v nulmaa Ins VPHT.- WAS absent WllBIl court convened today. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Garvan took copious notes or tne aaaress oi iuc t"'" sel for the defense. Littleton's Plea. Mr. Littleton said he asked nothing more than that the Jury should observe in wtnnivtinir ltn verdict the ordinary rules of any ordinary trial in an ordi nary court of an American community. He cautioned the Jurors to keep clear- i .n4AHA m th. fart that the rtre- JV UTIUI 11"- ii, r- sumptlon of Innocent is alwayswith the defendant until he is proved gunty. At some length Mr. Littleton explain ed the doctrine of reasonable doubt.

Mr. Littleton dwelt at length upon nf Abraham Beck, the L1I t.TT!VAiVJ old school teacher from Pennsylvania. "That testimony wouia mean some thing to me If I were sitting on a jury," declared the attorney. Beck's Testimony. "There Is no more honorable man in all Pensylvania than ola man Beck. His testimony was all his own given in his own language it was no re hearsal when he told you what he dad. No power on earth could have in duced that honorable old gentleman, now tottering near the other side, to aid) in dieception. to have a hand in a m "Can such evidence as thte tw an swered to the satisfaction of you gen tZmtn by the sneers of the district attorney? Let the prosecution if they have no testimony say so. and forever ilence their sneers and insinuations." Mr Littleton also laid great stress nnon'the letter Mr. Beck received from MPrs William Thaw in 1881 when she said she feared the bey's mind w-as ef fected and begged the old teacher to bear with him a little longer for she did not know what to suggest. 'When the mother, had appeared here before you and had left the wit ness stond," Mr. Littleton proceeded, "the district attorney read to you the Bffidavit she made In a certain pro ceedfng at the last trial. Mr. Jerome. I take it desired to have you infer that she had in some way contradicted her self or that her testimony was not candid, but, gentlemen, I appeal from that affidavit, made in the pardonable pride of the mother, made in a stress of circumstances, couched in the ple thoric vocabulary of the conventional lawyer, written in the tumult of a rl"l" appeal from that affidavit and WEDNESDAY EVENING. Its peculiar construction to this let ter of more than 25 years ago, writ ten in the mother's own hand, writ ten in no confounding phrase of a lawyer, written at a time when there was no peril, but the peril of her edity. I appeal from that affidavit to this testimony, which cornea flut tering across a span of 25 years from the hands of a tottering old man of seventy, like a benediction out of the past to Interpose itself to save this boy." TWO KANSAS GEMS. One Written by IngaUs of the State and Her Day. Ingalls wrote many beautiful para graphs about Kansas. One of them referring to this Kansas Day was in corporated by EJwing Herbert In a speech made several years ago, a gem within a gem, as follows: "Kansas Is always heard from. It is a continuous story in the newspapers. It has had more abuse with less Injury and more praise- with benefit than any other state. "It has tasted all the bitterness of failure and disappointment. -Her peo ple have known drouth and grasshop pers, cyclones and calamity., But in spite of every drawback those who have had the grit to stay have won. They have paid mountains of debt and have lifted up their heads through difficul ties to the stars. Kansas has been first in cranks and whiskers as well as first in corn and wheat. And now it Is among the first in the pursuit of cul ture and happiness. "There was a time when Kansans were so unhappy that they gloried in unhappiness. We advertised to the world that we were so poor that our property wasn't worth the mortgage value. We even cheered this sentiment we were so unhappy and s6 poor. We had picnics with ragmuffin parades and lung speeches lasting all day, con cluding with resolutions calcu lated to make the rich feel ashamed. But our precious poverty is gone and we've come out of our night mare strengthened by the courage of success. The eternal years of God are ours, and we are limited only by the judgment day. In every Kansas home tonight there's a signal light gleaming from the window that all Is well. Once a Kansan always a Kansan. It was our own Ingalls who Immortalized the best Kansas spirit when he wrote: "The Arabs say that he who drinks of the Nile must ever thirst no other waters will quench or satisfy. So those who have done homage and taken the oath of fealty to Kansas can never be alien ated or forsworn. The love of the peo ple for their state is more than senti ment it is Insatiable passion. The an niversary of its admission is observed as a festival and a holiday with com memorative exercises. 'Days are st apart in the spring by executive proclamation to decorate the hills and roadsides with trees as a lover adorns his bride with Jewels. The de fects of climate and the disasters of husbandry are indulgently explained and excused as the foibles of a friend from whom betteap things are to be an ticipated hereafter. The wanderers whom caprice or misfortune may tem porarily banish, are recalled by an ir resistible solicitation as they remember the bright aspect of the Kansas sky, which is like a smile, and the soft touch of the atmosphere, which is like a caress, s "The cross which Coronado reared at the verge of his wanderings has moulded and the ashes of the adven turer have slept for ages in the ances tral sepulchre in Spain. He found neither Quivera's phantom towers, not Cibola's gems and gold; but a fairer capital than that he sought to despoil has risen like an exhalation from the solitude he trod, and richer treasure than he craved has rewarded the toilers of an alien race." DOWN TO EIGHT DEGREES This Morning Almost the Coldest of Season. The cold snap came to Topeka just as advertised. The first pangs of the ap proaching cold weather were felt last night along with a liberal supply of wind. The coldest weather was just a few minutes before eight o'clock this morning when the mercury reached 8 degrees. This is the coldest weather of h season with but one exception.

The suspended National Bank of Commerce of this city will be reorganized and soon be open for business, one of the directors of the bank said. Every dollar neces sary to meet the reorganization plan submitted by Comptroller Ridgeley has been pledged, and the only remaining question to be decided Is who the offi cers and directors are to be. The bank was formerly the largest In the United States west of St. Louis. TWO CENTS. NOT AJPPLE. Kansas Day Is Birthday of Primary Bill. No Excitement Attendant Upon Passage in House. SIMMONS EXPLAINS. Speaker Says That He Is Really Opposed to Primary. Question of the Cost Is Now Being Considered. January 29.. the birthday of Kansas and of William McKinley, waa by the Kansas legislature today made the birthday of the direct primary election law. The final roll call on the bill In the house of representatives this morning resulted 103 to 10, with nine members absent. The bill must now be engrossed, sign ed by the governor, and printed In the offirria.1 ntntA na no. aft.. whUi. in comes the law of the state. There were rumors this morning, as there were last night in the senate, that some of Stubbs' friends would make an effort to throw the conference committee report Into the judiciary committee, for the purpose of breaking down the compromise, and securing a revision of the plurality plan for nom- inating United States senators. But these plans failed to see daylight, and in explaining his vote this morning in the house, W. R. Stubbs said: "Concerning the provision In this bill for the nomination of United States senator I wish to say a word. You have no right by a primary election to deprive the western part of the stato to its due representation under the constitution. While personally I would like to see a statewide primary vote on United States senator, I believe that the provisions in this bill are fair and Just, and in accordance with the spirit of the constitution of the United States." Some say that this waa merely Stubbs" way of making a virtue of a necessity, and others declare that Stubbs favored the plan for the purpose of currying favor with the western half of the state, which will retain a much more powerful voice In selecting a Unit ed States senator than it would under a statewide vote for that office. But tho fact remains that Mr. Stubbs la satis fied, and It was his primary bill which stirred up all this rumpus during the past two or three y,ears- What Will It Cost? There are widely conflicting opinions as to the cost of the primary election. Knemles of the primary declare that it. will cost the taxpayers ot' the state W00.000, for every time a primary is held. That Is probably too high. Some think that about $300,000 will cover the cost of the election, and they add $50.- 000 more for the expenses of the special session of the legislature. W. R. Stubbs says that .the cost of printing ballots for the primary should not exceed $10,000 for the entire state, and the cost of holding the election will be about the same as the cost of a regular election. Mr. Stubbs says that a cost of 10 cents apiece for the popu lation of Kansas will pay the expense of the primary. The bill itself makes the following provision regarding ex pense: "All tickets, blanks and other sup plies to be used at any primary, and all expense necessarily incurred in the preparation for or conducting such pri mary, shall be paid out of the treasury of the city, county, or state, as the case mav be. in the same manner, with like effect, and by the same officers, as in the case of elections. The cost, print ing and distribution of the tickets shall be under the charge and control of the same officers and official bodies as are prescribed for general elections and for city elections by existing statutes, and amendments now or hereafter made thereto,. Insofar as the same are ap plicable to and not inconsistent with the provisions of this act' Speaker Simmons' Explanation. Speaker Simmons explanation f his vote, submitted In writing, was as follows: "I do not believe in the funda mental principles of a primary elec tion law. I do believe in the princi ples of representative government, and think it should be applied with proper safeguards in the selection of delegates to nominating conventions. 1 think this bill is as good a on can be mad but believe it will Be found cumbersome and expensive, both to the candidates and the public, and will in the end be a disappointment to the people but I have often been wrong in the past and may be In this matter. The demand- for a primary law, whether actual or created is nearly universal and as It ha been long enough considered by the people I feel that they should have an oppor tunity to test it. For this reason I have'dlbne what I could to get the bill in the best possible shape and to get an agreement between the two houses, and for the same reason I vote aye." Manv Speeches Were Made. It was about 11 o'clock when Repre sentative S. B. Haskins, one of the house conferees on the primary, arose and presented the report of the com mittee. Nearly an hour was spent in reading the report, which consists of a detailed statement of all the amend ments made in the Stubbs bill by the committee. Then the roll was called. The names of the ten men voting against the bill were Craddock of Morton, Curran of Comanche. Flanlgan of Decatur. Johnson of Miami, Lennen of Ness. McGillivray of Grant-Stanton, O'Con ner of Leavenworth. Polley of Repub lic, Snyder of Leavenworth, Tanna hdll of Phillips. The nine absentees were Creech. Hendricks. Husey, Padgett. Saunders. Stannard. Warren, Westcott and Wil son. There were many short speeches in explanation of votes., and a number of written statements sent to th reading clerk's desk.

Dec. 11. 1807. Or. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. T. Gentlemen: From what my cus tomers say of Swamp-Root, I hesitate not a moment. In giving it my most hearty recommendation. I have kept It on my shelves constantly since its first appearance on the market and find that people who have used it are tlmoit tinanimous In praising its cu rative powers. In some cases which have come to fny notice, people have been relieved by the use of only one or two bottles, and ultimately been entirely cured. I will say that I cannot speak too highly of it. J.

GentUmen: During nineteen years In the drug business, I have never had In my stock, a better selling, or mora popular remedy for kidney, bladder or liver complaint, than Swamp-Root. Several years ago I had a slight touch of Liver complaint. I took one bottle and It worked with entirely satisfactory and gratifying results. I gladly endorse it to those suffer ing from ailments of this nature. K. B. WALKER. 488 Kansas Avenue. SWAMP-ROOT EXTENDS LIFE Topeka, Kan.. Dec. 9th, 1907. Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghamton. X. Y. Gentlemen: I desire to say that your Swamp-Root is the best selling Kidney and Liver remedy I have on my shelves, and there is rarely a day passes without making some sale of the remedy. I have one lady In mind who has told me that she felt that Swamp-Root had extended her life at least 10 years. This one case has aldd me in the selling of several doz en bottles. Hoping this may help you in future sale, I beg to remain, yours truly, FRED A. SNOW, Druggist til Kansas Avenue.

NOT A: RIPPLE CContlnued from Page One.) S. H. Brandon said he did not be lieve the bill reached the object aimed at. He said: "It should be entitled an act to perpetuate in office the pres ent United States senator." Never theless he voted for it. Davis of Bourbon (Democrat), sent up hi explanation in writing. He said the bill was not satisfactory but be cause 80 per cent of his Republican constituents and 75 per cent of Demo cratic constituents wanted the bill, he voted for it. Flanlgan of Decatur (Democrat), said the bill was no good without the secret ballot, and voted no. Foley of Rice (Democrat) sent up his explanation in w..ting. He said the bill would be a disappointment to his constituents, but would vote aye. Gordon of Wyandotte (Democrat), Bald he was always opposed to a pri mary and it would help build up a new machine for people crowded out of th old machine. He thought it would be too expensive; that it would cost 375, 000. Johnson of Miami (Democrat) voted no, and sent up a written statement. He protested against the bill because of expense, because the law is a polit ical measure, because it robs independ ent voters of the right to vote, and be cause it promotes factional and par tisan lines. Montee of Crawford sent In a writ ten statement. He said he was op posed to the scheme because it is con trary to the republican form of govern ment. He said it would have to bo tried, however, and voted aye. Lennen of Ness (Independent) pro tested against the open ballot, and said It would not give the independents a lair snow. He voted no. Nelhart of Osage said he didn't like the bill, but voted a-e. Polley of Republic said that nearly everybody he has talked to has said he did not like the bill, but that th. representatives were shifting the blame on people at home and voting for the bill. He said the legislature was "planting the seed of a parasite" by passing the bill. "We are taking a step backward about 2600 years," he said. "Consent," shouted somebody in the rear of the house. Polley voted no. Wells of Graham said that the farm ers of the state are reading the news papers and would have a hand in run ning the affairs of the state. He said that the people want the primary so they can vote for the man they want. Wheeler of Crawford said the bill will prove unsatisfactory to its friends, but in deference to the majority would vote aye. Thompson of Reno, the Democratic floor leader, said he did not think he would support any measure without a seoret ballot. He said he would bow to the will of the majority and vote for the bill. He said this is first measure in which western Kansas got an even break with the east. He voted aye. Where Will Stubbs Light? Now that the primary bill is passed, the politicians are busy discussing whether W. R. Stubbs will stay in the race for governor, cr whether he 111 twitch around, an try to go aPer the senatorial nomination again. Many of the state officers think that Stubbs will withdraw from the race for governor, ana become a candidate to the nomination for the United States Borne of Stubbs' closest friends, how ever, insist that when Mr. Stubbs an nounced himself as a candidate '-r ommend STRONG TESTIMONIALS FROM WELL KNOWN TOPEKA DRUGGISTS The following well-known Topeka druggists, as well as many others highly recommend Swamp-Root: A. F. Gatlin Drug Co., 702 Kansas Avenue Weightman's Pharmacy, 9th and Kansas Avenue A. T. Waggoner, 731 Kansas Avenue Petro Woodford, 839 North Kansas Avenue A. O. Roseer, B, W.

Rwnmn.Rrtnt In nrnmntlv AvAiv.nm governor, he burned his bridges behind him, and renounced all effort to beat Chester I. Long next fall. It would be a decidedly dangerous feat of tumbling for Mr. Stubbs to try to get back into the senatorial lace. People might not be willing to stand for so many flops in so short a tim-. and would take it out on Stubbs by beating him for the senate. Of course Mr. Stubbs is far too shrewd not to realize this, and for that reason, it seems to be the prevailing idea that he will be obliged, regardless of his per sonal desires, to remain in the race for governor. Some think that an arrangement will be made for the announcement of the candidacy of some strong Republican like T. A. McNeal for the office of gov ernor, and that after making a p-i-functory race for a time, Mr. Stubbs will withdraw in favor of McNeal or whoever else may be selected. Thts would leave Stubbs free to enter the senatorial combat. One thing is sure. Senator Long will go into the senatorial fight with about 32 votes from the Seventh district. It will be necessary for his opposition to concentrate its fire, or Long will pick up enough scattering votes throughout the state to control the situation under the plurality plan adopted in the pri mary law. Judge Chas. E. Lobdell, of Lamed, came to Topeka today. When asked concerning the talk about him as a candidate for United States senator, he smiled a knowing sort of a smile, and said, "I know nothing about that report." However, Mr. Lobdell will possibly know more about it after talk ing to some of his friends about the state house. Notes From the Legislature. S. C. Westcott, representative from Cherokee county, was called home to day by serious Illness in his family. Copies of the Emporia Gazette of yesterday were distributed to all the representatives this morning. This pa per contained a story of the primary compromise, and an editorial endorse ment of Stubbs for governor as follows: Four long and dazzling years have passed while the fellows In state poli tics have been devoting their large leisure to the gentle practice of licking btuDDs. Ana every time they licked him it cost them the support of the people. Uttle by little, has their power with the people worn off. as the ma chine has rolled over Stubbs. The day of reckoning has come. Stubbs in the special session of the legislature has licked the machine, and licked it good and hard. "The Stubbs primary bill, which a year ago was the jeer of the machine ana its organs, win become the law of the state of Kansas, and the title to the public offices of this common wealth will pass from the Doliticiana and the railroads to the people. The macnine nas ncKea stubbs for the last time. Now the machine is billed for the scrap heap, and nobody cares. "Hats oft to Stubbs, a fighter who can't be blufTed, who fights the fights of the people against machines, who can't be bulldozed, bought or coaxed to swerve an inch from the right. Kan sas needs such a man In the state nouse ror rour years, and then "Kansas needs a red-headed man in me senate. representative William Wells, of Graham county, in speaking or his plan for guaranteeing bank deposits, which is embodied in a bill which passed the houser yesterday, said today: "This bill No. 123 has many merits whiVh u inn. ceded even by those who are against The value and success of Swamp-Root is so well known that readers are advised to send for a sample bottle. In sending your address to. Dr. Kilmer Co-- Binghamton, N.. T.. be sure to say that you 'read this" generous offer in the "Topeka Daisy State i Journal." cent and one-dollar: size bottles at all guarantee bills. It provides that all state banks may give security In the form of surety or personal bond to the bank commisisoner to guarantee de posits In the bank. This plan does not take away the individuality of the con servative banker, but leaves each bank to stand on its own merits and only responsible for its own acts. This plan is practicable, is not an experiment, and will guarantee deposits and yet has the endorsement of many' of the conserva tive bankers which- .is- evident when such men as Brandon. Grasse, and oth er conservative bankers, voted for it." The house has Just about cleaned up its calendar. Nearly every bill intro duced has either been killed or passed, and the house will be able to devote most of Its time working, on senate blllS. It Is expected that after the Kansas Day club banquet tonight, many of thj members of the legislature will dis appear from the Topeka horizon. They won't wait for the final adjournment. As the chances for satisfactory legis lation on the subject of guaranteed bank deposits become more slim, the members of the legislature are wonder ing what Governor Hoch will do -about it. Will he try to lecture the members into being good, as he did once before? Another effort was made today to take a picture of the house members on the north steps. The members do not respond very generoun'.y to the call of the Santa Fe railroad photographer, and it Is fiared that his efforts to get the house all together at one time will be futile. Otis L. Benton, of Oberlin, is in To peka today. Mr. Benton used to at tend Wsehburn; now he Is the Big Political Medicine In the northwest.

Rickard informs Fitzpatrick that he will make a larger bid for the battle to take place in Goldfield than any club manager in the county can offer, and advises Fitzpatrick to make no ar rangements with other clubs until he has considered the Goldfield bid. Fitzpatrick also has a standing offer of $25,000 for the fight from Jimmy Coff roth of San Francisco.

Fitzpatrick and Johnson arrived in New York from Detroit last night. Fitz patrick said that Johnson is now in the throes of the grip, but he expects the big negro to be in thorough shape again in a few days. "I thought he was too strong to catch a little thing like grip," said Fitz patrick, "but those grip germs are no more afraid to tackle real champions than they are four fiushers."

Harry Lewis' quick knockout of Frank Mantell, who claimed the welterweight boxing championship through stopping Honey Meilody, has landed him a matcn witn Billy Papke. Manager Jack McGuigan of the National Atthletic club of this city has closed with Lewis for the fight and Papke has also virtually accepted. The bout will be-fought in' Philadel phia in two weeks. Lewis will be- giving away v ten pounds to Papke,- but as they are to go only six rounds, a distance at which Lewis is a master,- the Quaker is con fident of his ability to outpoint papke. Papke is a rushing, swinging fighter and will undoubtedly carry the game to Lewis. The latter, with his fast footwork and fine defense, expects to win on counters alone. The weight 13 152 pounds at 6 o clock, which- is Papke's lowest figure. Lewis can make 14Z. In the event of sticking the six rounds with Papke, Lewis will go to the coast and meet Jimmy Gardner for the legitimate welterweight title at 142 pounds; Manager Coffroth is now negotiating for this match. ;Y x'List- of Fast Tennis Men.

Nature nas rurnisned us an with a perfect set of organs, and if they are not abused they win attend to the busi ness required of them. They need no abnormal strength. There is a limit to the weight a man can lift, and there is also a limit to what the stomach can do. The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion and many affiliated diseases is that the stomach has been exercised too much and it is tired or worn out. Not exer cise but rest is what it needs. To take something into the stomach that will relieve it from its work for a short time something, to digest the food will give it a rest and allow It time to regain its strength. The proper aid to the digestive or gans is Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets, which cures dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stomach and bowels, heartburn, palpi tation of the heart, and all stomach dis eases. Rest and invigoration is what the tomach gets when you see Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain of the active principle In them is sufficient to digest 8.000 grains of food.

Roads Trying to Restore All Rolling Stock to Owners. 3IEAXS MUCH EXPENSE Empties Ilpin? Hanled From One End of Country to Other. Olher Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Never before in the history of the American railroads has there been such a movement of empty freight cars to and from all parts of the country, as there has been during the past few months. The movement of the empties can be said to date from the latter part o October or probably to be more ac curate from the first part of November when the heavy railway traffic began to grow lighter. This Interchange of cars still continues and operating offi cials both of the largest and smallest roads are unable to say when it will end as at the present time there seems to be no let up in sight. The interchange of cars is more no ticeable in the larger railway centers of the t'nited States such as Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis. However, it can be noticed among railway offices all over the country wherever there are connecting facilities between two roads. At the moie important centers empty cars are brought from the At lantic seaboard and are turned over to their western owners and vice versa. Cars that have not been on their own company's rails for years are being re turned and in any railway yard in the country the number of foreign cars is rapidly diminishing while the number of cars belonging to the local road is increasing. This unprecedented heavy movement of empty cars, some of which are haul ed as far as a thousand miles, is due chiefly to the per diem charge of 60 cents per car. For every foreign car in the possession of any road the road us ing the car must pay 50 cents per day. It often happens that one road will have as many as a thousand cars be longing to another road. In this case there will be a drain upon the treasury of the road using the foreign cars of $500 per day. Consequently it Is cheap er to return these cars than it is to keep them and pay the rental charge lor them. When the volume of traffic is large and a car shortage prevails, a road could probably afford to pay the 50 cent per diem charge as they can use the cars and not have them lying idle in the yards. But when there is compar atively little traffic as there Is at the present time and hundreds of thou sands cars are lying idle the economic course for the roads to pursue is to return the cars at once to their own er. Every management at the present time Is having its lines ransacked for foreign cars. The general order on ev ery road. Irrespective of size or lm- Jfo man can be at his best with a poor digestion.

The Times says: The latest flimflam game to separate Leavenworth people from their money was operated here by Londa, the palm ist, mind reader, revealer of your past, present and future, at so much per revelation. Londa, whose name for "her Leaven worth visit was Mrs. J. W. Kingsley, of New Tork, arrived at the Delmonico hotel last Tuesday, accompanied by her husband and a little girl about 5 years old. The trio departed between Sunday and Monady about $300 to the good, leaving several Confiding creditors various small accounts to the bad. The woman, who was the money maker of the combination, is described as petite, dark, and 'a clever talker whose hypnotic state wasn't at all times profound enough to prevent her making numerous bum revelations of past events. She evened up by paint ing the luture in hues -whose brillian cy were limited only by her vocabu lary. The hotel parlor was thronged every day by crowds, nine-tenths of which were women. Not giggling school girls, either, who might at least have had the excuse of not being old enough' to know any better, but women between 30 and 40 and most of them whose dress In dicated that they were worKlngr wo men. It was lust -a fake and not a very clever one at that. The people who paid over their money learned about as much as they could "reveal" themselves by consulting any almanac. The woman named whatever fee she thought the victim would stand for. An inmate of the Soldiers' home turned over $20. Several women were persuad ed to return for second and more com plete readings, at advanced fees, of course. A high school girl who lives near the Home Is minus a Valuable diamond ring as a result of her experience. She left the ring and a handkerchief with the palmist Saturday and was to re turn Monday evening for a complete revelation of her future. But Sunday night, after a profitable day's business, the grafters departed to new and un worked fields. TREATMENT FOR GRIP.

Shoemaker, is cleaning the Cottonwood river of inferior fish. Several tons of gas. carp arid buffalo have been taken out, and in April the river will be restocked with bass and other game fish. From Florence east the Cottonwood is a famous fishing stream and owing to the clear, cold water the fish taken out now are excellent for table use. Mr. Riggs states the poor fish in the river will be removed from Marion eastward. Many buildings, largely residences, are projected for this season. C. J. Schneider is finishing the finest stone mansion in the county for Charles M. Gregory. Finished, as Mr. Gregory has planned, it will cost $25,000 or more. The Santa Fe people are finishing a large frame depot for Agent Siler and his friends, the public. HIS CATTLE NOT INSPECTED.

The Union Pacific passenger train from To peka yesterday struck th buggy in which Mrs. Susan Laptad was riding at a crossing, demolishing the vehlcifc and carrying the woman on the pilot of the enslne a. distB-wse of 100. yards, until the engineer stopped his engine. By what appeared to be almost a miracle, Mrs. Laptad was not injured, beyond a few bruises, and when liftea from the wreckage on the pilot of the locomotive she walked away to tele phone to her son, In the country, to come with a big wagon after the re mains of the buggy. SET HER CLOTHING AFIRE. The first pointer apparent on the face of the machine can be turned to a point regulating the degree of temperature preferred. Immediately to the right is the opening for money. The boy's right hand is on the knob, which is pulled out after depositing the coin, and his left hand holds the g-lass be neath the spout. portance seems to be "Get rid of all the cars belonging to other roads." There probably has never heretofore oeen such a concerted effort on the part of the railroad companies to return the cars to their owners. The slogan has always been that those who had the possession of the cars owned them. Many operating officials are employ ing the lesson of the present expensive movement of empties as an argument for a car-pooling agreement. They contend that it would be more economi cal to pool equipment than to haul empties. NEW SCHOOL STARTED. Santa Fe's Instruction System In augurated at Albuquerque. Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 29. F. W. I Thomas, superintendent of the new ap prentice school system of the Santa Fe. left yesterday for California after com pleting the work of Installing an ap prentice school at the local shops. The school for the present is located In the second story of the general office build ing and desks and blackboards and oth er necessary paraphernalia have been placed In position. Several hours a week will be set aside for the purpose of giving instruction to the apprentices In all branches of work and they will be required to attend them, without ex ception. Competent instructors will be provided to teach the subjects that will be of the most benefit to the young men. "It Is a deplorable fact,but never theless true," said a man yesterday who is well acquainted with the apprentice system, '"that most of the apprentices when they commence to learn a trade, are in a great many cases entirely ig norant of mathematics, some of them even not understanding common frac tions. This should not be so, especially in the case of machinist apprentices who should be well posted in at least elementary arithmetic. It is for the purpose of counteracting this that the railroads all over the country are be ginning to establish apprentice schools. The boys and young men while they are learning their trades will be taught mathematics, mechanical engineering draughting, physics and other things that it is absolutely necessary for a good mechanic to know- The classes will be held in the day time and the apprentices will be required to attend them regularly and have their lessons prepared. They will be under the same discipline in the school room as they are In the shop. I am convinced that this new system will be a great benefit not only to the company, but also to the young men fortunate enough to recognize the fact that, "knowledge is power.' snssonu pacific changes. General Superintendent E. A. Gould May Go to Wabash Road. Sedalia, Mo., Jan. 29. It Is reported here that several changes are to be made among the Missouri Pacific offi cials soon. A newspaper here says these changes are contemplated: E. A. Gould, general superintendent, of Kan sas City, will go to the Wabash rail way as general manager; tjenerai su perintendent W. J. McKee of Coffey vllle. Kan., will ero to Kansas City as general superintendent, succeeding Mr. Gould; J. E. Snedeker of Coffeyville, general superintendent, will succeed Mr. McKee; A. J. Alexander, superin tendent, of this city will go to Little Rock, and J. F. Sims, superintendent, of Osawatomie, Kan., will come to Se dalia, succeeding Mr. Alexander. Insane Act of Mrs. J. A. Long That Will Prove Fatal. Burlington, Kan., Jan. 29. Mrs. John A. Long, in a sudden fit of in sanity, attempted suicide late Tues day by emptying the contents of an oil lamp upon her clothing and set ting fire to it in her room at their ftrrm home, a few miles north of Bur lington. Immediately after setting fire to herself, she cried "Fire" and ran downstairs, where her husband threw a bucket of water on her and soon extinguished the blaze, but not before she was burned so that it is expected she can not live more than twenty-four hours. No cause was known for the act. TURNED FROM HOME. Sallna Couple Complain That Son -In -Law Has Mistreated Them. Salina, Kan., Jan. 29. Henry and Mary Martin have begun suit for dam ages in the sum of $5,000 against their son-in-law, Robert E. Austin, who, it is alleged, turned them out of their own home after the death of their daughter and Austin married again. The farm was deeded to Austin during the life of the first Mrs. Austin, and the second wife, it is alleged, refused to comply with the agreement. Martin is 75 years old and his wife is 77 and without the farm they are penniless. RAX OFF WITH HIRED GIRL. But It Was the Married Woman and Not the Husband. Salina, Kan., Jan. 29. Mrs. Josle Peterson ran away to this city from Belolt, Kan., last night with her hired girl. Minnie Ericson, leaving her hus band and six children at home. The woman's husband followed her here in an automobile, and forced her to re turn home with him. Before leaving home, it is said, Mrs. Peterson took a large sum of her husband's money from the bank. The women were ready to take a train from Salina when over taken. V L. O. Minns, a Kaw Reservation Stock man, Is Fined $100.

A particularly effective situ ation in "The Girl Who Looks Like Me" is that where the young woman, who Is naturally of a sweet and kind disposition, finds it necessary to get rid of the husband, who Is delighted at the unexpected metamorphosis of his wife. He has been driven away from home by her temper, and when he finds her so amiable his plans for the future are embarrassing. Conse auently she affects a violent fit of tem per, at the conclusion of which the stage looks as though a whirlwind had struck it. The situation Is such that the audience sees the whole thing the good nature, the necessity for a change, the rapid transition, and the violent conclusion the whole affording the comediennes a fine opportunity for comedy work. The title of C. Herbert Kerr's musi cal operatic drama to be seen at the Grand on Friday night with dainty Grace Cameron as the star, is "Little Dollie .Dimples." The story of this merry comedy, which by the way is now in its second year, is told in. two acts and the scenes are laid In and about New York city. In the first act Miss Cameron is seen as a street waif. She wanders away to Paris, receives an education through a gooa inena wnu discovers that she is a great singer, and presents her to one of the leading managers In Paris who stars her in his opera; and while playing some of the smaller towns the company gets strand ed. She returns to Paris and secures a position as French maid In order to return to America, her old home, which she left in despair six years before. On her arrival she Is introduced to many of her old friends of former years but none of them seem to recog nize her as the former waif, "Dollie Dimples." In time she makes known to her old friend, Robert Loraine, her visit to Paris, etc. This knowledge puts him on to a scheme whereby he se cures for her the money and property left to her many years before by the death of her uncle, and in the second act of the play she, as the witch, forces a confession from Mayme Green and Alexander Comstock. a lawyer with a shady reputation, that they had rob bed her of the estate by false repre sentations, and before she finishes with them they are glad to turn the entire estate over to her without any trouble. All goes well and Dollie is made happy with the knowledge of love that Mr. Robert Loraine had shown her during her troubles. Supporting Miss Cameron are such well known artists as Mr. Al Law rence, mimic; Miss Florence Langdon Tempest, character old woman; the famous baritone. Louis Londen; Phoebe and Jessie Cardownie, America's fam ous dancers: Will Philbrick, character comedian; Daisy King. soprano; the famous Elm City quartette, and America's greatest musical act, the Criterion Musical Four, and the re nowned pony ballet and Broadway show girls. The "Topsy" of "Ma's New Husband" is even more eccentric and entertaining than the original character of that name ever was. So at least several critics say.

Out of a polled vote of about four thousand the county has gone "dry by a majority of a thousand. David Bennett Hill will not attend the Democratic national convention at Denver. This is the first one he has missed since 1872. Wonder if he still yells the phrase he made famous: "I am a Democrat. If a vaudeville performer could put In a fair day's work at the rate of seven dollars a minute, which it Is re puted each of three gymnasts work ing out at the Midwinter is getting. It would take less than a year for blm. to earn a million dollars. Pictures In the newspapers anent the marriage of Miss Gladys Vander bilt to Count Szechenyi make it evi dent that the houses belonging to her mother are much grander affairs than the palaces and castles In the possession of the count's family. That request of the railroads for a delay In the execution of law com pelling them to sell their coal prop erties by May 1, which is provided for In the new rate law, until the con atitutlonality of this provision Is test ed In the courts, would seem to be a reasonable one. ro-hilo fha TTnltAd States Rfnntnrs are unearthing some facts concern ing such forms of slavery as may ex ist In the Philippine Islands, it might 11 -m tham .t.nJ that 1n vestlgatlons to the slavery and peon age which is still practiced in some of the southern states. It looks as though It were a trifle superfluous for Governor Johnson to announce that he will not be a can didate for the Democratic presiden tial nomination in the event that Mr. Bryan is a candidate. If Mr. Bryan wants the nomination there Is no doubt that he can have it. Lost, strayed or stolen One letter from Mr. Ridgley, comptroller of the currency, to Governor Hoch stating that national banks will not be per mitted to participate in the state bank deposits guaranty plan. It's funny how it happens that Important letters and documents are the ones that go astray. His Highness, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say His Low seal, the Earl of Yarmouth now sets up a claim that he has a decided in terest In the cash of his wife, who was Miss Alice Thaw and who is su ing for an annulment of her marriage to him. It would appear that Mrs. Thaw certainly has more than her share of troubles and worries. Maybe it Is wrong, bui one can not help thinking that the Mr. Moore, the Norfolk newspaper man, who has written a song called "Don't Scorn the Sailor,' has something of a po litical pull in view of the fact that a bill has been introduced In congress appropriating $5,000 to purchase all rights to the song so that it may come Into the possession of the gov ernment. Something of a sensation has been caused In educational circles by the sutrgestlon of Dr. Eliot, president of Harvard university, that children should be sorted out according to-their inclinations and abilities and made to learn certain trades. Protests are bound to develop In volume at such a procedure as being untenable In a "land of the free" where the constitution de clares all men are equal. But as Dr. Eliot points out all men are not equal and his suggestion is worthy of the deepest consideration. If the people all over the country were only quite as enthusiastic over Mr. Fairbanks as are the members of the Indiana Republican Editorial asso ciation, his nomination for the presi dency would be a foregone conclusion. Here is an excerpt from their Indorse ment of him: "In him we see embodied the perception of Lincoln, the dignity of Grant, the wisdom of Harrison, the gentleness of McKlnley and the fear lessness of Roosevelt a combination of attributes that rounds out a man su perbly equipped for the duties and re sponsibilities of the chief executive of the United States." In stepping down from the presi dency of the Central National bank, jir p. I. Bonebrake does so that he may have more liberty and time to enjoy the good things of life. The rest that will come to him has been faith fully earned. For twenty-five long years he has served the business men of Topeka, in his capacity as presi dent of a successful bank, with fidel ity, and while his partial retirement from active business affairs will be regretted the liberty he desires will not be begrudged him and he will be the recipient of felicitous congratula tions from the Topekans and the in stitutions of the city he has served so well. A PRIMARY. Practically all that remains to be done to place a direct primary law on the statute books of Kansas is the consummation of a few minor details and the ten days wrangling on the part of the legislators on this Import ant question has not been in vain. It is a distinct victory for the peo ple of the state. Of course, there are many who will insist that the vic tory belongs to Mr. Stubbs and two or three of his allies. It is certain that he and his friends had things their own way at the finish of the fight but the victory for primary legislation belongs with the people of the state. They insisted on having a direct primary and they let this Insistence be known in no uncertain terms to their representatives in the legislature. There were a goodly number of peo ple who believed that the law should have divorced the primary for United States senatorship from the primary for state offices but a majority of the legislators arrived at the conclusion that this was not the best plan, and those who favored the "split" pri mary will have to make the best of it. As a matter of fact this point was not a material one in importance when considered with the main question of a direct primary. A direct primary was the thing the people demanded and a dtirect pri mary, which ought to be acceptable to all, has been given them. And now It Is the duty of the voters of this state to keep the fact In mind that they will have a chance to select such men as they wish to have for candi dates for office. Accordingly It will be their duty to turn out on primary day) and make known their choice by their votes. If they don't do tnis tne result will be that the politicians, who are ever busy, will control, through their active 'henchmen, the nominations at the primary. This In evitable condition will develop un less the people generally take advan tage of the primary and show Just as much interest In it as they do in the general election. A LABOR UNION AS A TRUST. A decision of exceedingly general In terest has been rendered by Judge Phil lips, In the common pleas of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, In a suit to dissolve the Amalgamated Glass Workers' union. He held that the organization was a trust formed In violation of the law forbidding combinations in restraint of trade, and ordered its Immediate disso lution and the division of the $110,000 fund in Us treasury among its mem bers. Some of them say that no benefit to any one can be looked for from this, because the fund has been dissipated by litigation, strike allowances and other necessary expenses. But the case grew out of a dispute between the members concerning the disposition of the fund among blowers, gatherers, cut ters and flatteners belonging to the union. That, however, is a matter that con cerns that particular organization alone; and as to the other side of it Judge Phillips said that the case had no standing in court except as a case under public policy as to whether or not the organization was in restraint of trade; and he held that the agree ment under which the blowers, gather ers, cutters and flatteners were bound In the Amalgamated Window Glass Workers' Union of America was an agreement in restraint of trade, a trust; and, taking the broad ground of public policy, ordered the Amalgamated to be dissolved. The question involved will probably go to higher courts; but meantime all labor unions are directly interested in the decision which raises the point of most importance, towit: how far they may lawfully interfere with the action of their members, without violating the law forbidding combinations in re straint of trade. In the building trades for Instance, unions have decided that no building work shall go on by their members unless certain demands are granted by builders. But, before dis cussing it further, it Is well to wait and see what Is done with the case in hand on appeal. AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS. From statistics gathered by himself, a young man with a mania in this par ticular line, has discovered that only one book In thirty that are written ever gets a publisher, while the rejection of short stories by magazines and other Journals Is In much greater propor tions. Probably among the rejected mass might be found material Just as good as Is printed. It seems hard to think that all of It can be worse than some which sees the light. There are said to be thirty thousand persons In this country who either write for a living or make an occasional venture In literature. About four thou sand novels are published each year m the United States alone and a much larger number of stories of considerable length are printed In various publica tions, but never between covers. The short stories are legion. Indeed, editors sometimes wonder if there Is any per son In the entire country who Is not at some time or other seized with a de sire for authorship. The undoubted fact is that never were so many books published, never so many individual copies sold and never so many kinds of periodical literature circulated. The total figures are so stupendous as to be almost incomprehensible. It is a matter of general knowledge that many writers who later attained fame had a hard time breaking into print. Ho wells and Thackeray are nota ble examples. "David Harum" was re fused by many publishers, as was the first book of Kipling. The list could be extended, not only to include many names of living authors, but to apply to matters written by men after they achieved fame. These things are a sort of a comfort to the unfortunate author who with difficulty gets a hearing. He is apt to think that he has a prize and that the editors or "readers" are stupid. He thinks that publishers are not after works of high merit, but want big names only. On the contrary, every publisher Is anxious to get any work that is meri torious and will sell. But on what ground shall he decide? His "readers" have to use their judgment which is often at fault, in what they select, and probably equally so in what they re ject. It is said that the average profit In these days on the copy of a novel is two cents, averaging bad and good sell ers. The man who can Invent a system which will let publishers know what will sell and what will not can make an immense fortune. But this may be looked upon as an Impossibility and the same conditions in this field will prob ably maintain until the end of time. JOURNAL ENTRIES A lot of useless discussion would be saved If the weather Is taken as it comes. O Of course, It takes great art to paint a picture but it takes more art to sell it. It is all right for a man to say things behind his wife's back when he is buttoning her dress. e If a girl Is In love with a minister it is proper to say that she is affected with a divine passion.

Then the neighbors raised a roar and sent for the sheriff and a doctor. Here are some startling figures from the Pratt Union: "From October 1 up to last Friday, there was 17,494 rabbit scalps cashed at County Clerk Allmon'a office. The amount of each paid for them at three cents was $524.82. They are still coming in and the money ex pended In that way Is well spent." Wellington has an oddity In the shape of a reporter who has motto money than would be needed to buy out all the newspaper plants In that town.

A wagon load of wood was hauled through Junction City the other day which can be called a wagon load of wood with all that one Intends to con vey by that expression.

The wood was red elm and was to be used as stove wood only. "The first new potatoes of the year were raised by John Martin, whose ex periments in gardening have made Luther Burbank look like thirty coun terfeit pennies," says the Emporia Gazette.

Many a truthful man lies awake at night. To hustle with dignity Is a rare ac complishment. Did you ever see an optimist with a boll on his neck? The presidential bee Is sharpening up the sting In Its tall. Among crooks a fellow doesn't have to be a pig to squeal on a pal. Even the comedian shouldn't have any foolishness In his make-up. When money talks we don't pay particular attention to its grammar. Some people's Idea of being neigh borly Is to borrow and not pay back. It seems as though the impossible happens quite as often as the unex pected. When a man stacks up against hard luck he always complains that someone behind him pushed. Dolly "I wouldn't marry a lot of men." Polly "I should think not. Bigamy is a serious offense." Push Is a good quality In a young man so long as he doesn't expend too much of It on saloon doors.

Chollle Saphedde hasn't half a mind to do anything." c KANSAS COMMENT A PROBLEM IN USURY. Among the fcoins exhibited to The Beacon this week was a piece of silver coined 2.200 years ago. It con tains about an ounce of pure silver a? ,tao, doubt represented at the date or its issue as much as one dollar In values of today. Now if that coin had been put out at interest, instead of lying idle all these years, and -the increment could P d .to a direct heir of the man who first owned it, what do you sup pose tha heir would be worth? That the investment might be safe, we will suppose It to have been loaned at 2 per cent simple interest, the interest to draw interest whenever the sum be came double This means that the sum would double every fifty years. At a rough guess do you think the heir would be worth as much as John D. Rockefeller Is said to be today? Would he be worth a billion All we need to do is to apply the principle of geometrical progression and If we have patience, we may solve It. In 2,200 years there would be 44 periods of fifty years each, so we should double 44 times. Carried out approximately we find that the profli gate ancestor of our chosen heir, by nus iu put me silver coin at Inter est at 2 per cent, has robbed him of 000 enormus 8unl U7,587,904,000,- The moral to this problem is that by putting a single dollar at inter .s,.ani leavlnT it to accumulate for 2,000 years your heir at that time will be worth more than the entire wealth of the earth at this date. Or if that moral looks immoral be cause hoggish, you may drop a penny into the savings bank today, and in about twenty years at 4 per cent com pound interest your son and heir will Inherit two cents.

URBAN AND RURAL EMPLOYMENT Just became a man happens to know a maiden lady up in Maine who can't get anybody to run her farm for her, even at high wages, he Is hardly Justi fied In giving the unemployed In, cities a savage scolding. In the very first place, there be maiden ladies not this one, of course whose peculiarities of temper and logic are such as to make moderately prolonged starvation dis tinctly preferable to subjeotlon to their rule. Again, the height of wages Is a good deal a matter of opinion, and sometimes sums which impress an em ployer as threatening the clouds make the employed hunt for his spectacles for fear he may overlook them entirely. To consider the subject with the seri ousness it deserves, however. It seeems to us that there is much rashness In assuming that country people come to the city for any other or worse reason than that they can live there more eas ily, and, on the whole; more happily, or that the city people stay where they are for any other or worse reason that that, partly for personal and partly for economic conditions, the country does not offer them as much as the city does. Much of the complaint about lack of labor that comes from farmers Is made by men who want a lot of help during a few weeks and little or none for the rest of the year. No argument will make employment of that sort desira ble, and It Is no wonder that thousands prefer the steady wage which the ur ban factories offer in what are called good times. What Is too often forgotten or Ig nored Is the fact that agricultural methods have vastly changed in recent years, and that the crop which former ly took a dozen men to raise Is now produced by two or three, plus machin ery. That being the case, the displaced laborers need something besides the beauties of nature to support them, and they go where they can find them. The steady increase of all crops shows that the work of the farm is getting done, now as always, and that all whom the country really calls obey the sum mons. New York Times. GOOD COUNTRY FOR STUDENTS. The tradition of European leadership In learning is strong and full of vitality. It will sway American sentiment and shape American educational Institu tions and methods for a long time to come, in greater or less degree. No doubt It rests upon a soMd foundation, in some respects." But now and then something happens which indicates that this country Is a mighty good place to study, very favorable for the best training of the best minds. Such an instance comes all the way from China. It Is found In the results of official examination made by the Chi nese government of the relative scholar ship and proficiency of 38 Chinese picked youth, of course who have re turned to their native country after graduating in foreign universities or lesser schools. Seven 0 these students were graded "best." Of the remainder 17 were rank ed as "good" and 17 as "moderate." Of he seven who stood "best" five were educated in America. That Is distinct ly a bouquet for American schools and -American scholarship. It proves either that the chances for getting the desired results are better here than In Europe, when students come from a perfectly neutral part of the world, or else that the flower of the Chinese sent abroad to perfect their education find their way into American institutions of learn ing. This country is certainly the stronger magnet or the better training Place. Cleveland Leader. FROM OTHER PENS TO COUNT SZECHENYI. Oh. Laszlo Jeno Maria Henrik ouch!

Richmond Times-Dispatch. Mysterious Monuments. When we left Vannes we went by the P10, direct road to Auray, about a hair hour's run, and there turned south west toward Carnac down by the coast which we reached about an hour after leaving Vannes. We were eager to see the Druldlcal monuments known as Menhirs and Dolmens, the great stones of mythological age. These and the Giant's Causeway, which we visited later In Ireland, are two of the most wonderful things In the world one cre ated by man and the other a ceation of Nature. The hotel manager at Vannes had, given us a little map which enabled us to go directly to the most interesting part of these enormous fields of rock, taking in Ploemel and Plouharnel on the way. The story of these stones as to what they are; what kind of people put them there; why and when they were put there has never been told and probably never will be. They are practically as prehistoric as the formation of the world Itself, and as we drove our mo tor, a symbol of the latest creation of man, out On the moors among these tokens of the musty ages, a feeling un like anything which we had ever felt before came over the entire party. Here was an Illustration of the spanning of time. Here on the very spot where the first known labor of man is exhibited stood also his last production one the work of a people unknown, the other the recent production of the most mod ern nation on earth. The pyramids of Egypt have a his tory which has been unraveled and written by archaeologists. Pompeii is relatively modern; the statues of Rameses and the art of the Nile are as open books compared with the history of these great rocks. The Menhirs and Dolmens are scat tered all about the section south of Auray, but down near Carnac there are three groups set upon lines as straight as a modern engineer could draw them and forming nine or ten avenues. There are 874 In one of the rows, 855 tn an other and 262 In a third; it Is said there were 15,000 originally. The stones, which are equal distances apart, vary in height from three to twenty feet, the largest having an estimated weight of forty to fifty tons. There is no stone of the same geological formation found nearer than three hundred miles and the mystery of their being placed here will probably never be solved.

(By Temple Bailey.) Fay Woodward, finishing a rollick ing class song with a crash of chords, whirled around, on the piano stool and faced the group of girls who were presiding over the mysteries of fudge making in a chafing dish. "It's a tragedy," she said, "that's what It is." "What?" came the Interested chorus. "The case of Caroline Krebs." "It sounds like the headlines in an evening paper," murmured Elolse Hi 1! man, sniffing the chocolate scented air ecstatically. Fay, Ignoring the interruption, went on: "She's a nice little thing, and I hate to see her unhappy." "Maybe she is Just silly and senti mental," said Beatrice Drake, who was stirring the bubbling mixture; "she seemed awfully young to have a real affair." "She is twenty," Fay informed them; "it's her fluffy curls that give her that baby look. And she has known him since she was five. He proposed to her when she was fifteen, and they became engaged this fall just before she came here to school." "Who is he?" asked Elolse. with Interest. "The young man Caroline Krebs is engaged) to, and I am worrying about them." "Why worry?" asked a fourth girl, who, buried in the cushions of the couch, had hitherto said nothing. "Because I am not like you, Kitty. I can't curl up like a cat and let life roll past me. Carolina Krebs is my room-mate, and she Is handling her love affair bady, and as her friend and a philanthropist in general, I want to set her straight." Kit sat up. She was fair and fat, with dimples that were out now in full force. "What's she doing that's wrong?" she dlemanded. Fay leaned forward and spoke im pressively. "Girls, she said, "she is making him a red satin heart, for a birthday present." "A red heart!" came the chorus. "Yes. A pincushion. And she is stuffing it with sawdust, and it is as fat as as Kitty!" "Oh oh!" came from the couch, but Fay proceeded. "She Is going to send it to him, and she can't see that any man with an ounce of artistic blood in him would be repelled by a fat red thing with pins in it!" And Fay's graceful hands swept out in a ges ture of despair. "Perhaps they are two of a kind," said Elolse. "No. And that Is where the tragedy comes In. He sends her bits of poetry that he writes exquisite bits. He knows the real thing. But she doesn't. She just goes on stuffing that heart and planning to write a verse on it Roses red and. violets blue. My heart to you is ever true." Kitty, on the couch, shrieked: "Fay, you are stretching it." "No, I am not," Fay said. "I tried to make her buy one of those old ivory medallions that we saw in the shops, but she looked at me so ser iously, and whispered, 'He likes to have me make something!' "Lovely!" ejaculated Kitty. "If a man loved me that way" "Ther fudge is ready," eut in Beat rice, and for the next few minutes they gave their attention to the luscious squares. "I am going to take a plate of It to Caroline," said Fay, as she left them that night. "She couldn't come In, she was too busy sticking white pins Into the red heart." "Cheer up!" Kitty called after her, "you may reform Caroline yet." But Caroline, bright eyed over her gift, did not look as If she needed re form. "Isn't it pretty?" she asked, hold ing up the heart as Fay came ire with the plate of fudge. Fay eyed it dubiously. "Do you think a man would like it?" she asked. "Oh, Arthur would," said Caroline, "he has such good taste. "I sent a man a present once," said Fay craftily. "I bought a bunch of violets; the florist packed them so that they would keep fresh. It was a very simple gift, but he liked it awfully." "Yes," said Caroline, sticking the last pin firmly Into the heart, "I am sure he must have liked It. But Arthur always wants me to make things for him." So Fay gave it up. "He'll be disillusioned, and she will be unhappy," was her decision, "but I can't help it." It was three days after Arthur's birthday. that Caroline came to her room-mate with a note. "I can't understand Arthur," she said, and her lips were quivering. "He seems to think my present was a joke." "Oh," gasped Fay understamdlngly. "He says that he showed it to the boys, and they laughed over it, and that he was glad I had such a sense of humor, and that it was such a dear little, fat heart. And I thought It was beautiful; oh, diear and Caroline's head was pillowed on Foy's sympathetic shoulder. "I worked so hard, and It was so pretty," she sobbed, "and they Just laughed." "Send him something else and tell him this was just a funny forerun ner." Fay suggested But Caroline was obstinate. "I won't," she said; "he ought to like the red heart, and if he doesn't, I can't help It." "And if somethirrg isn't done at once," Fay told her four chums as they sat that night, klmono-clad, in Beatrice's room, "those two hearts won't beat as one." Kitty, plump and pretty, in pink, murmured from the pillows; "Let's send him something, and make him think it is from her. Then tell her, and she will be too proud to confess that It wasn't her selection." "We'll do It," said Fay, enthusiasti cally, "and now, what shall it be?" The product of their combined taste and genius went da a violet colored box by the next morning's mail, and when Arthur Moore opened it two days later he gasped. "By Jove, the dear little girl," he said, "look here, Richards!" His classmate peered over his shoulder. "Violets rlbbon-tled, the Ivory medalHon of Browning you have been wanting, and that exquisite verse of Mrs. Browning to cap It. She must be a clever girl, Arthur. Arthur pondered. "It's not for her cleverness that I love her, Richards," he said; "and, af ter all, I am not sure but that I like that little red heart best. Think of the work of her dear little fingers!" And something of this he said in his second note. "X can't understand what be mi by two presents," Caroline said t Fay, and reed what he had written. Then Fay faltered out the story. "We thought we would send him something artistic and tell you after ward," she said. Caroline smiled at her pityingly. "You see you didn't Know, Arthur," she said; "he always likes things that I make." "And, oh, girls, what do you think he said?" Fay asked the eager girls who" clustered about her just as she was going to morning ciass. "Tell us," they clamored. Fay quoted glibly: 'The violets are faded, and the medallion hangs over my desk, but close to my heart is tne little red heart, the work of your own dear hands!' "Well, of all things," said Elolse and Beatrice, "such a man!" But Kit ty, pretty Kitty, murmured, with all her dimples out: Roses red and violets blue. His heart to her Is ever true!

Not being gifted with the ability to locate the stinger of a proposition, he depends entirely on the attitude of those whom he considers his enemies. His reasoning runs along this line: "If that feller is for it, it must be again me." Anything "agin him" is a crime, and should be abated. The new primary bill, as reported by the conference committee, is a great victory for someone. The split fea ture is eliminated, and the Stubbs crowd has no kick coming. All that is left for the retinue of the Emperor of Lawrence is to hold a love feast and then safeguard their leader against ex plosion. To this end, a belt of riveted hoop iron is highly recommended.' The leader should wear it a few days, and then he will not need it. This la where Governor Hoch be gins to feel the chilly sensation. This sad thought permeates his system, like a colony of germs moving into new quarters: "WHERE do I come in?" His marvelous intuition warns him that Mr. Stubbs Is on the eve of throwing the harpoon into him. Word from the Stubbs lodge confirms the rumor that Roscoe, late of the Grad ing Camp, has both eyes and one hand on the Job Extraodinary, rather than the Governor's chair. It has been called to his attention that 'he will not make any howling success as a candidate for both jobs, ana Washington, being a larger city. Is more suitable to his convenience. Stubbs would feel cramped in a little hole like the governor's chair. Now, wouldn't that' pain you? If Stubbs nails the senatorial job, what is left for Hoch? He has received his two slices of pie, and unless he can force this legislature to pass a law of some kind which will grve liim a third term, he is in a fair way to be left out In the cold.

It is alleged that he eats alfalfa and other domestic vege tation. This legislative measure will cause him to either reform, and confine himself to a diet of insects, or Join the late prairie dog, who was rubbed out by legislation some years ago. The bill provides a bounty of 10 cents each' for well preserved specimens of the gopher scalp, and as the beast is long on mul tiplication, he may provide lucrative employment for professional toll-not-tera for many years to come. .This will 3 THE SYSTEM F CATARRH The New Cloak Shop 707 Kansas Ave. Ave. open a new field of business. Any poor but honest farmer who failed to raise crops, could resort to the pleasant oc cupation of raising gopher scalps. It is possible that the county com missioners may object to the pay ment of the gopher bounty, -on the grounds that they haven't the money, but that feature may be easily over come by issuing 20-year gopher bonds.

Another emergency of vital im portance at this time, has been over looked by the legislature. This is the total destruction of the wild cat. It has been reported that there are at least four wild cats in the state, and that they have killed dhickens. A bill should be passed for a commis sion of six, at a salary of $2,500 each, to investigate the habits of the wild cat, and find out what makes hiia wild. This commission should be followed by another, equipped with expense money and car fare, prepared to locate and import some disease germ which would prey on the wild cat, and in due time, bring about his extinction.

THE TUKNING POINT Was Reached When Ha An nounced an Issue of Bonds. $296,000,000 of Currency Had Disappeared From Circulation. Washington, Jan. 29. In response to a resolution agreed to by the senate on December 12, 1907, the secretary of the treasury today transmitted to that body detailed statements concerning the award of Panama bonds and 3 per cent certificates together with recent financial transactions of the govern ment and also embodying Information as to the general state of the nation's finances during the closing months of 1907 the period over which the recent financial -panic extended. The report, which is accompanied by a long letter from Secretary Cortelyou to the president of the senate embraces a list of depositories and the amount of money placed on deposit therein In various dates; a list of other banks with the amounts of national deposits and the security held therefor; state ments showing the condition of banks on August 22, 1907, and December 3, 1907, and the amount of bank notes outstanding at various periods; lists of banks and Individuals who received Panama canal bonds and lists of those who bid for the bonds without receiv ing an allotment; and subscriptions of 3 per cent certificates of Indebtedness; data concerning clearing house certifi cates Issued during the panic and a budget of circulars, press announce ments and correspondence relating to government financial transactions that took place- during the period mention ed in the resolution. Reviews the Panic. Secretary Cortelyou before analyzing the crisis and setting forth his official actions In regard to the report, gives a summary of occurrences in the United States financial world from the time he assumed charge until the special re port was compiled. He states that bus iness conditions were becoming unset tled when he became financial member of the cabinet in March, 1907. Various stringencies occurred prior to August, which were promptly relieved. A plan of weekly deposits of government funds in various banks was begun on August 28. By October 14, these depos its had reached a total of $28,000,000. In October occurred the striking events in New York, which culminated in the closing of the Knickerbocker Trust company and the decision of New York banks to Issue clearing house certifi cates. The treasury transferred to na tional banks within a few days the sum of $35,000,000 and transmitted to New York within three days about $36,000,000 In smalKbills. In New York alone the report shows, clearing house certi float as were -lsxid in excess of $100,000,000. By the middle of Novem ber the treasury had met the demand for relief to the extent that the work ing balance was reduced to approxi mately $5,000,000. It being apparent that no further deposits could safely be made, banks were permitted to substi tute bonds suitable for savings bank Investments for government bonds, which were held as' security against public deposits. Government bonds were thus released as additional bank note circulation. After the Issue of Panama bonds and one year treasury certificates the bank note circulation began to increase until it stood on December 81 at $690,130,895, as against $607,118,742 on October 15. On January 18, 1908, the Issue had reached $695,925,806. The Turning Point. "The anouncement of the United States of the issue of new securities by the treasury," says Mr. Cortelyou, "marked In some degree the turning point of the panic. No 'urther steps were considered necessary except to continue the deposit- of public moneys for a time where they were available and early in December it became possi ble to replenish the cash in the treas ury by the withdrawal of about $6,000, 000 from national banks in New York City This was followed .on January 22 by another call for $10,000,000 from New York banks. This will be followed soon by a call on outside banks based upon local conditions rather than upon a fix ed percentage of their holdings of pub lic money." The amount of currency which disap peared from circulation from the time of the suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust company until confidence was practically restored In December, Is stated as approximately $296,000,000. This amounted substantially to one tenth of the entire estimate of money In circulation In the United States. The secretary of the treasury touches upon the gravity of the situation abroad as well as in this country and gives figures concerning the export of merchandise to show the energy with -v.iv, .rnnomlc resources of the country were devoted to the relief of the situation, the excess of the exports over imports rising from $1,464,404 In August, 1907, to S114,S9U,bb& in uecemuer, 1QV7 Secretary Cortelyou defends the issue of Panama bonds and treasury certifi cates by saying that It was advisable to take some strong ana resoiuie bwp which would convince the public, both at home and abroad, that the govern ment was thoroughly alive to the sit- A Tip For Fat Women In a few years that excess fat of yours ..in tva.nm bad habit Impossible to break.

Concerning the allotment of the new Issues of securities he says: "Their character was Rllll that It- Was anticipated most of the subscrip- w.. nuiuu come rrom national banks, that the two TiT" rant Vtnna afforded such privileges to natitmal ixiu&s as a oasis of note circulation; that there were strong Inducements to the banks outside private investors. Who would find in the hnndn nnthin. more than the best form of security w'5 uwy a per cent per annum and that It was exnentoii n tvi-ot this expectation was fulfilled that me Donas would be used chiefly as a basis for additional notn rlm-iilntirtTi and that such circulation would con- iriDuie its share to relieving the acute pressure of currency whirh srintoH throughout the country. Even if there had been no other Justification ior nmiung suoscriptions to national banks, this consideration that the bonds would be used to meet the pres sure for currency would. In the opinion of the department have Jus tified an absolute restriction of the awards. "The legal right of the department to make allotments of the bonds and securities to such persons and banks and in such amounts as it might see fit can hardly be called in question in view of the fact that the circular of fering the Panama bonds contained this distinct provision: The department also reserves the right to reject any or all bids, If deemed to be to the Interests of the United States to do.' "Obviously, so-far as the offer of securities waa influenced by the de sire to prevent distress in the money market, it would have failed of this purpose if awards had been made, even to bonafide bidders, which would have resulted in large drafts upon the reserve money of the banks and would not have aided In drawing money from private hordes. It was therefore, decided In the case of the Panama bonds to make no awards to individuals In excess of $10,000. It was also decided to accept the highest bids of national banks for the re mainder of the issue, after these minimum allotments to individuals." Bids Forty-four Times the Offers.. The total bids for the Panama canal bonds, continues the secretary, amount ed to $220,604,580 or more than 44 times the amount offered. This fact not here tofore made public, would have stamp ed the loan as an even more remarkable success than It was. if all these bids could have been regarded as made in good faith by responsible parties. Ex amination of the bids showed, however, that many of them were not only spec ulative In character but that they were made in many cases for very large amounts by those who were both per sonally Irresponsible and Incapable of having made even the smallest prelim inary payment if such payment had been required. When the awards were made therefore, the bonds were award ed without hesitation to national banks in those cases where the prices offered were 102 or higher, and where the bid appeared in other respects to be made In good faith and with full capacity on the part of the bidder to execute his contract. The amount thus awarded to national banks was $24,299,040. The awards made to individuals were limit ed to those cases where the amounts eiihartherl for were for $10,000 or less, because such bids had at least prima facie appearance of good faith. Even upon this basis, the payments made after the allotment of the bonds show ed that a considerable portion of these small bids were peculatlve. The 3 Per Cents. There was less margin fo speculation In the case of the 8 per cent certificates, as the report says their term of one year did not allow for any considerable premium without extinguishing the amount of interest. They were issued at par and this made them Immediately available as it was not necessary to secure bids as In the case of Panama bonds. They there fore afforded a convenient means to the banks at once to increase their circula tion. For- this reason the secretary of the treasury thought proper to announce at an early date that offers from Indi viduals would no longer be received and it was ultimately decided to make no allotments except to national banks. This decision was dictated by two con siderations first, the desire to stimu late the Issue of bank note circulation for a period which would relieve the crisis; and, second, the fact that the announcement of the Issue of the new purpose and had made it unnecessary to issue more than a fraction of the full amount. The Jssue of these securities was suspended therefore before the date first named for closing the receipt of subscriptions, the total amount of the subscriptions having reached $63, 959,500. The amount Issued was only $15,436,500. All of these were regis tered and Issued to national banks with the understanding that they should be used as a basis for. increasing their cir culation or to secure public deposits. They are all on deposit with the treas urer of the United States for these pur poses. While the awards of 2 per cent bonds were made primarily to the highest bidders among national' hanks. the effect of the awards was to dis tribute the bonds among banks In forty, of the 46 states of the Union. The one-year certificates were dis tributed less widely but were taken, however, by institutions in at least 18 states. Anticipated an Early Need. The issue of the Panama bonds would have been required in any case within a short time to meet the ex penses of constructing- the canal and the secretary of the treasury, it Is argued, could! hardly be held respon sible for the effect of sudh- issues on the volume of bank note circulation whatever might be his opinion as to the desirability of the Inflation which might result. Practically therefore, the responsibility resting upon him relates only to the $15,536,500 In the one-year certificates and will ter minate with their maturity and re demption on November 30. of the present year. Concerning the distribution of pub lic moneys in banks throughout the country, the secretary says that this has been done without regard to par tisanship and no section has received other than the fair and Impartial con sideration to which it Is entitled. It is shown that the amount of public de posits on August 22, was about $115, 000,000 of which the New York banks held $28,253,386. On December 7, the figures show public deposits throughout the country amounting to $222,353,252. In connection with this statement the report says: "While the banks of the state of New York appear as holders of pub lic moneys to the amount of 26.8 per cent of their capital and surplus, the banks of the New England, eastern and middle western states, taken as a whole and including New York show a percentage of deposits to capital and surplus of only a little more than 15 per cent. The banks of the southern, western and Pacific states on the whole show a proportion of nearly 18 I per cent. With the elimination of January Clearing Sale!

o THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1908. FOUR DAYS MORE. KUdwinter Exposition Is Nearing the End. Tanderllle Bill Is Prorlng a Winner. STRONGEST YET SEEN. Japanese Are Receiving a Large Share of Attention. Booths Are Still Proving In teresting to Tisitors. But four days remain of the Midwin ter. There are a lot of people who are go ing to regret that they didn't see the vaudeville bill, too, if they let those four days pass without taking advan tage of them. By far the strongest offering of at tractions that have been In Topeka in a vaudeville line for a long time are being featured at the Midwinter this i Week. In past years the custom has been to secure one act which repre aenited the head liner for that week but I Mr. Brigham has two acts this week i both of them ranking on a par with J the best of past seasons. The Yamaga- ta troupe of Japanese acrobats and the Laurent trio, European acrobats who j present something entirely new in their I line, vie with each other in popularity. J Both cost hundreds of dollars for the f week that they appear here. The Lau- rent trio were engaged at the beginning with the Relief that it would be impoa I rible to secure the Japanese and it was aeslrea or course to nave one specially strong: act. Later things shaped them selves around so it was possible to en gage the Yamagata troupe so that Brigham as a result had two features of exceptional worth on his programme Instead of only th one. The second week's bill which caused so much popularity last year had as its best offering the Okabe troupe. The Yamagata troupe are the equals of the Okabe family and to cap it all off the Laurent trio perfect acts that show that the Orient is not one whit better than the Occident when it comes to feats which require skill as well as strength. The crowd last night gave the first 1 indication since the commencement of the Midwinter that the vaudeville tacts suited them to a turn. Previous j ly they have been chary of applause. I But last night they thawed out enough j to (hand out several good rounds of i applause. Topeka audiences have seen so much that is good and above the average that they have probably (become a little blase on the subject of amusements and it takes some thing that is unusually startling to waken them up. i Leon and Adaline are certainly mirth provokers in their comedy juggling act. They cause many a good housewife to sigh by the whole sale and reckless manner in which they break up some perfectly good crockery 30 during the week or $5 worth every evening. Five dol lars wouldn't go far towards purchas ing Haviland but you can buy a lot of chlnaware of the ordinary kind for 5. Mile. Hilda a contortionist finishes up the evening's entertain talnment. The vaudeville programme commences at 3 o'clock in the after noon and 9 o'clock in the evening and j lasts for a little over an hour. Every j minute of that time there is tome I thing doing and there are no vexatious waits between acts. The crowds stili continue and the attendance is far ahead of last year at this time. As a money maker it has been a success and the business firms that are represented by booths consider the Midwinter the cheapest advertising when returns are con sidered that exists outside of the 1 newspapers.

C. McClintock by Mrs. McClintock and Mrs. F. W. Watson for some of the prominent club women in town for the meeting of the Women's Kansas Day club. The table was lovely, the com pany distinguished and the talk clever and interesting, which ought to go without saying, considering the num ber of bright, particular intellectual stars who were present. The company Included Mrs. E. W. Hoch, Mrs. Fred Dumont Smith of Kinsley, Mrs. Eustace H. Brown of Olathe. Mrs. James Humphrey of Manhattan. Mrs. C. H. Trott of Junction City, Mrs. F. B. Wheeler of Pittsburg, Mrs. Charles G. Sholes of Olathe. Mrs. C. W. Lan dis of Osborne, Mrs. M. F. Munson of ElDorado, Mrs. C. C. Godard of Leavenworth. Mrs. J. K. Hudson. Mrs. W. A. McCarter, Mrs. S.

Cream-color lace forms the yoke and collar, and the lower part of the blouse, which is of the cloth, joins the lace yoke. The sleeves have fine tucks running up and down, and are edged with lace. The skirt is construct ed of eleven gores, shaped so as to pro duce considerable width at the lower edge, which measures with plaits drawn out about Ave yards. The muff and wrap are of Labrador. The skirt can be trimmed around the bottom with La brador if desired. An inexperienced young housekeeper asked guests for a Sunday dinner but neglects to order the dinner, this de tail entirely escaping her mind, until Sunday morning when she realized with horror that she had nothing in the house to eat and the shops were all closed. She spent the morning in wild desperation, turning- over different plans in her mind, and had about de cided to make .a clean breast of the matter to her husband and guests, take them down for dinner and en dure their chaffing, when a happy thought struck her. The neighbors across the way had some fine chickens which she could see scratching: in the alley close to the barn. She slipped out, found some corn, threw it on the barn floor, opened the door into the alley, called softly "Chlcky, chicky. chicky!" and in a minute had two plump young fowls safely trapped. Then with a courage surely deserving of a Carnegie medal, for she did it her self to save her innocent husband's conscience, she caught and killed the chickens and with the aid of what she happened to have in the house she served the company with an incom parable dinner. It happened in To peka and you may have "three guesses. Mrs. William Eugene Stanley of Wichita, state recent of the Daughters of the American.

"Yes, there are many severe cases of grippe in Topeka this winter," said a physician with a large and fashionable practice the other day, "though not more, perhaps, than Usual. Every win ter there is a similar epidemic principal ly among women and the causes of it are not hard to seek. The truth of the matter is that the average woman shows not an iota of common sense in the care of her health and even frail women take the most perilous chances. Look, for instance, at the way the aver age woman dresses in the winter time. In my practice I find that nine out of ten women and girls wear summer un derwear the year around and girls in gauze stockings and low shoes may be seen on the streets any day in win ter. It is true that we have mild win ters in Kansas and I do not think the average person requires wool or even part wool underwear but something heavier than the gauze, silk and lawn garments which most women consider sufficient, is necessary to comfort and health. Take a school girl for example: she must be out before nine and often before eight o'clock in the morning and even in the mildest winters it is too cold at that hour for thin stockings, low shoes and lingerie waists. Yet the aver age school girl is so dressed- It makes a man shiver to see a woman in such a costume at this season, her bare throat showing plainly throjigh the lace and embroidery of her waist. Of course she has furs but instead of wearing them around her throat to protect her from the cold, she lets them fall back across her shoulders where they can do her no possible good. It is no wonder that women so dressed catch cold easily and have no resistance when grippe or pneumonia attack them. "Another reason why the average woman has an annual winter Illness of two or three weeks' duration Is that she doesn't rest enough. During the winter season when there are many dances and other parties she is up late night after night, eats too much at ir regular hours and doesn't get the sleep she requires- It is well enough for wo men to stay up late If they can sleep the next morning, but the Topeka wo men is, as a rule, a busy woman. If she is married she does her own house work or has at the most one maid; she does all, or part, of her sewing and extra gadding means extra sewing. But there is no use. talking to them about these things.. They will do as they please and suffer the consequences, and although they probably deserve the latter it must be admitted that women are patient under suffering and are much more reasonable and less exact ing invalids than men."

New York. Jan. 23 Little 4-year-old Carleton 'Kremer sle"pt in his bwn trun dle bed last night after an absence from home which lasted for three months and which was filled with more" excitement than comes to the entire lifetime of most people. Kidnaped from his foster, parents by his mother, the boy was smuggled away from New York to Boston and thence by way of various towns to Canada. Returning to Boston a few days ago, he was found by his foster mother after the police had forced in a door and overcome the male relatives of tfte boy's real mother. When Mrs. Maude G. Clarke's hus band obtained a divorce from her, three years ago, their little son Carleton was adopted with their permission, by Clarke's friend, Dr. Kremer, of 857 Lex ington avenue. New York. He was taught to regard Dr. and Mrs. Kremer as his father and mother and grew to love them as much as they loved him. Last October, while walking with Dr. Kremer's sister, the hoy was seized by Mrs. Clarke, who. It is said, had made several attempts to recover him from the Kremers. He- was taken- Into a waiting cab and rushed to a railway station, from which he was taken to Boston. The Kremers secured a war rant for Mrs. Clarke's arrest and she was followed to Boston. When the offi cers arrived there, however, she had again fled and it was only after a long search personally directed by Mrs. Kremer that they were located in Can ada. A few days ago they returned to Bos ton and accompanied by police officers, Mrs. Kremer went to the home of Mrs. Clarke's parents. I Admission was re fused. Mrs. Kremer says, and the door was broken open. While the officers were overcoming the men in the house, according to Mrs. Kremer's story, she heard the boy's voice -and found him In an adjoining room. Mrs. Clarke was arrested and the boy was turned over to Mrs. Kremer. who brought him back to New York last night. Dr. and Mrs. Kremer say that they will not prosecute Mrs. Clarke if she agrees not to again attempt to secure the boy. To Replenish Stock of Bonds. New York, Jan. 29. About, forty millions of dollars worth of long-term IV, per cent bonds-will be offered for safe by the city of .New York the mid dle of next month, accordlug1 to state ments made in Wall street. Last fall the city put in bankers hands a simi lar amount of fifty-year bonds and $10,000,000 in ten-year bonds. It was agreed between the municipality and the bankers that no new offering of long-terni bonds should be made un til the last of that issue was soid to Investors. That the bankers have marketed all or practically all of last fall's issue is indicates by the re ported preparations for another muni cipal bond issue. Heney Attacks Senator Fulton.. Portland, Ore.,1 Jan. 29. In a speech last night on "Graft "Versus Good Citizenship," Francis J. Heney attacked United States Senator Charles W. Fulton.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL -WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1908, 7 HE TRIEDJO DIE. Joseph Bollock, Prisoner in County Jail, Takes Poison. Deserted by Family and Friends Becomes Despondent. BEGS FOR A RAZOK. When Refused Takes White Powder From Coat Lining. Doctors Think That He May Yet EecoTer. Joseph Bollock who Is confined in the county Jail charged with the brutal murder of one of his neighbors, attempted to end his life thl3 morn ing, and if he recovers it will be due to the prompt efforts of the officials at the county Jail and the antidotes administered by County Physician Nicol. The murderer as well as his victim, Andrew Mauer, were residents of Little Russia in North Topeka and in a fight Bollock stamped) the life out of Mauer. The fight occurred at the home of the victim one evening early in Sep tember where Bollock sought trouble and the victim diedi during the night aa a result of the injuries received in the affray. Bollock has been known to the police for years as a dangerous character when drinking, being re garded as almost insane when drink ing and quarrelsome. He was released shortly after the murder on a 12,600 bond signed by a number of his countrymen on the promise that he would refrain from the use of intoxicating liquors and be have himself. He hadl trouble at home Monday and was turned over to Sheriff Wilkerson by his bondsmen and since that time has been confined in the county Jail where he this morn ing attempted to kill himself. Since his incarceration in the coun ty Jail his friends and family have de serted him and have refused to visit him or communicate with him in any way. He has been moody and des pondent and has frequently threat ened to take his life unless his wife and friends would change their atti tude towards him. The prisoners have not considered the talk seriously. Bollock was much more despondent this morning than he has been at any time since he has been in Jail and talk ed with Gustavus Cook for a long time of his troubles and again threatened to kill himself. He played ards 'or half an hour and went into the cell where Cook was shaving and asked to look at the razor but was refused by Cook who was afraid that he might attempt to kill himself with it. "What do you want wW.h the razor," asked Cook. "I Just want to try it to see if it is sharp because I want to shave with it," said Bollock. He was again refused the razor when he attempted to grab it and said, "Give it to me and I will cut my throat and get it all over with." "That will be all right," said Cook, "but I want to shave with it flrsr.. Come around after awhile and then you can have it." Bollock hung about the door of the cell until Cook had finished shaving and again asked for the razor and when re fused stepped across the hallway be tween the tiers of cells and stenped Inside of his own. He took his coat from his bunk where he had been us ing it as a pillow and ripping apart the lining took a paper containing a white powder from it and swallowed the greater part of it before Cook who was in the doorway could in anyway in terfere. He then threw the paper which con tained a small portion of the drug into a bucket and sat down on the edge of his bunk and the prisoners who knew what was going on thought that he was attempting to fool them. A few moments later he began to moan and a little later rolled from his berth to the steel floor of his cell where he showed every symptom of poisoning. He was placed on the cot and the of ficers at the Jail notified and they in turn notified Dr. Nicoll, who adminis tered an antidote as well as a power ful emetic. The emetic failed to do the work intended but it seems that the antidote was about what was needed at any rate Bollock became more quiet FANCY LARGE California Oranges per pecK 40c and since that time has laid In a stu por. Bollock denies that he attempted to kill himself and says that he had an attack of heart failure such as he has had at numerous other times. He says that he wants to die if his friends have all deserted him and there is no doubt that he took a drug of some kind after threatening to .commit suicide. Dr. Nicoll has not been able to tell what the drug is that Bollock swallowed, though he Is of the opinion that it is oxalic acid. IN SAME OLD WAY. KANSAS WOMEN HERE.

London, Jan. 29. The most rare event of the London winter, a clear and sunny day, favored the royal procession to Westminster today, where King Ed ward opened parliament with the same ceremonies that have been observed for centuries. King Edward and Queen Alexandra rode from Buckingham palace to the houses of parliament in a gilded coach of state drawn by eight white horses. They were attended by the officials of their households in other state car riages and on horseback. St. James park and Whitehall were unusually crowded, and the soldiers who guarded the way had their hands, full in keeping the people back. A thousand officials including peers, members of the house of commons, bishops, judges and diplomats, many of them attired in uniform or robes of state, filled the chamber of the lords when a fanfare of trumpets at 2 o'clock announced the entry of the state pro cession. King Edward read the speech from the throne. Queen Alexandra was seat ed on a chair of state at his right, the Prince and Princess of Wales were on his left, and he was surrounded by a group of state officers. .The menace of an outbreak on the part of the women suffragists of Eng land gave an unusual Interest to the formal proceedings of today. While it was not anticipated that the agitators would disturb the king, they threatened to make things Interesting for members of the house of parliament, particular ly If there was no mention of suffrage in the speech from the throne.' Great er precautions could not have been ta ken if an anarchist uprising had been feared. The only ladles admitted to the galleries of parliament were those whom members vouched for in writing as their wives or relatives and the po lice who were on duty around West minster and throughout the houses of parliament were instructed to keep es pecial watch over all women. Premier Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man, whose health Is still feeble, was the only cabinet minister absent when Trine- Erlward ascended the throne. His majesty in his speech referred in conventional words to the visit of the German emperor which he said could nnt fail to confirm the friendly rela tions existing between the powers, to the death of King Oscar of Sweden ana in rnnpiusion of the Russian agreement. Acting in the spirit of this agreement in spite of the complications in t-ersia, me two irovernments had maintained a policy of peace. Continuing, the king said: "Mv mvprnment have ioined with the governments of France, Germany and Russia in a treaty ior tne preservanuii of the integrity of the kingdom or JNor way." Referring to The Hague peace con ference the king said: "The various instruments annexed to the final act of that conference show the progress that has been made and thev are receiving the attentive consia- eration of my government. One of the most important of these Instruments establishes the great principle 01 an in ternatlonal court of appeal in prize cases. My government are considering the question of inviting representa tives of the leading maritime nations to attend a conference in London next autumn with a view of coming to an understanding on certain important Doints of international law for the guidance of this court. "The condition of the Christian and Mussulman populations in the Mace donian vilayets shows no improvement. The bands of different nationalities con tinue to pursue a campaign of violence and the situation gives serious cause for anxiety. The great powers of n.ur ope have agreed to present to the Turk lsh Government, a scheme for the lm movement of the Judiciary in that re gion and my government have made further proposals to the sultan and also to the great powers for dealing effectually with the principal causes of this disturbance.

The house of representatives is this afternoon engaged in a battle on the legislative reapportionment bill. This bill was introduced by Repre sentative Miller of the Gray-Haskell district. It gives a separate represen tative to Gray, Haskell and Seward counties, which are now harnessed up with other counties. One representa tive each is taken away from Brown Jefferson and Franklin counties, which have not been gaining in population. Representative W. B. Ham officiated at the administration of knockout drops to his bill, which as he drew it required a doctor's prescription to get liquor from a drug store. The tem perance committee killed all of Ham's bill except the enacting clause and sub stituted another bill requiring that druggists publish in the official city Bauer each month the name, address and disease on each liquor permit is sued. Mr. Ham failed to recognize his child when it came up this afternoon, and by his consent, it was allowed to slip down to the bottom of the calendar. NEW MEXICO GIVES UP.

The body of Harry Norwood has been found five miles west of Mlzpah. He had been frozen to death. His only known relative is Alfred Nor wood of Montreal. He was 44 years old. The extraordinary session of the Kan sas legislature will wind up its business and adjourn at noon Saturday, Feb ruary 1. This was definitely decided upon when the senate this morning concur red in house concurrent resolution No. 6, which further provides that the sen ate shall, at 3 p. m. today cease the consideration of original senate bills, and that, at the same hour, the house shall cease the consideration of original house bills, except that in both cases the resolution does not apply to reports nf conference committees. In order to reach this decision it was necessary to rescind the action of tho penate indefinitely postponing consider ation of the concurrent resolution, which would have been lmpossmie arter 3 p. Th. today. A suggestion to change the hour of considering bills to 10 p. m. was not adopted and a rush of motions, resolutions and committee reports fol lowed. The consideration of house bills by the senate and of senate bills by the house may be' continued down to the hour of final adjournment. 'Fitzpatrick and all: For God's sake adjourn and go home, and forget that you have disgraced your calling." This was the advice handed down, gratis. In an anonymous letter bearing a Minneapolis date of January 28 and addressed to Senator Fitzpatrick, who submitted it to the senate under the head of petitions and communications. It was placed on file. The letter sent out to Kansas bank ers asking aid in the defeat of the guaranty deposit -bill, which was quot ed in the senate last night, seems to be bearing fruit. Three communica tions were presented from Luray, Goodell and Paradise banks.announclng their opposition to any legislation on this subject at the present session. The committee on judiiciary re ported recommending the passage of senate bill No. 88, and house bills Nos. 79, 76, 74 and 103, and the refer ence of house bill No. 42 to committee of the whole. The consideration of bills under special orders, the three remaining banking measures, was postponed, from 10:30 a. m.. to 8. p. m. The following bills were passed by Senate bill No. 84, amending an act of 1903 in which the word "auto mobllius" appears, and which was in troduced as a joke, but in some way was enrolled and printed with the regular bills. Senator Robertson in troduced this bill. Senator Noftzger denies that any such bill was ever passed. House bill No: 15, appropriating $676 for the payment of the pension of Harry Parks. House bill No. 31, authorizing a tax for "thft music fund" in Topeka. Senate bill No. 84, authorizing the attorney general to employ an addi tional stenographer at a salary not ex ceeding S75 per month. House bill No. 71, exempting cer tain fraternal societies rrom the pay ment of taxes on their real and per sonal property. This bill applies more particularly to the Masonic and Odd! Fellow's homes. Senate bill No. 126, fixing the sal aries of eertain state officers, as fol lows: State treasurer, $3,600 per year; assistant state treasurer, $1,800; chief clerk, $1,200. Senate, bill No. 97, authorizing the county commissioners of Morton, Grant, Stevens and Stanton counties to drill for artesian wells. Senate bill No. 129, appropriating the sum of $2,500 to pay the traveling expenses of the members, secretary and other employes of the state tax commission, while in the discharge of their duties as a state toard of asses sors, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908. The lady i employes of the senate were greatly pleased) this morning when presented by Senator Brewer of Dickinson with a supply of beautiful pink carnations, to be worn this "Carnation Day." Senator Brewer was the only member of the senate who appeared with a carnation in his coat lapel. Senate resolution No. 14, by Sena tor Benson, calls upon the secretary of the senate and the state printer to complete the publication of the sen ate Journal not later than June 1, 1908. It was stated incidentally that TOO LATE TO CLASSirif.

SMASHED HIS FACE. Hofrli Nichols la Painfully Injured In a Runaway. An exciting runaway1 occurred on West Seventh street early this morning, and al though the starting point was Kansas avenue, and the stopping place the alley between Jackson and Van Buren street, there was plenty for the driver to attend to while the race was on. The horse, which was attached to a Bell Telephone Co.'s wagon, became frightened and start ed to run Just after the turn was mada into Seventh street and the driver, Hugh: Nichols, was thrown from his seat and dragged for a considerable distance. The horse attempted to turn Into the al ley leading to the telephone office and fell to the pavement when the wagon., struck the corner of the brick blacksmith shop on the opposite side. The driver and horse and wagon piled up in a heap aBd the man was taken into the blacksmith' shop, where he shortly after revived. His injuries consist of a bad cut over one eye and a severely bruised countenance. Read the Journal for hargalnaV

The report of the conferees on the direct primary bill was adopted by the senate last night by a vote of 37 to 2, Benson and Waggener alone recording their votes against the compromise bill. When the senate met at 8 o'clock the lobby and galleries were filled with members of the house and other visi tors, among the latter being quite a number of ladies. The lobby was warn ed In advance that order must be strict ly observed during the reading of the committee's report and that any failure to observe this order would necessitate the retirement of the offending person or persons Senator Fitzpatrick, on behalf of the conference committee, submitted the report, which was signed by all the members of the committee, and moved Its adoption. The main features of the bill as it came from the committee are these: 1. The delegates to the national con vention for this year will be chosen by a state convention, but after this year these delegates will be chosen in a man ner fixed by the state central commit tee to conform with the rules of the national committee. 2. The state central committee shall be composed of the chairman of the county central committees. S. The general state primary will be held on the first Tuesday of August and at this time all candidates for state offices, congress and United States sen ate, county officers, state senators and representatives, district Judges, town ship officers and national electors will be nominated. The- city officials of cities of 5,000 population will be nom inated on the first Tuesday in March. 4. The convention will be superseded by the party council, except where a state convention may be necessary to select delegates to the national conven tion. This party council will draw up party platforms and will be composed of the nominees for the legislature, congressional nominees, national com Siltteemen. United States senator, nominated and hold over, and members of the state committee. 5. The county committees will be composed of one committeeman from each voting precinct and will be select ed at the general primary. The chair man of the county committee will be left to the selection of the county com mittee. 6. The United States senator will be nominated by the plurality of legisla tive districts. The party nominee for the United States senate will be the one who carries the largest number of legislative districts at the primary.

The reading of the committee re port proceeded slowly and was unintel ligible to the average spectator, but It was followed closely by the senators, who compared the changes agreed upon with the printed bill and corrected- the latter as the amendments were announced. When Senator Fitzpat rick had concluded, the roll was called on the adoption of the report and the bill was passed by a vote of 37 in the affirmative to 2 in the negative. Sena tor Caldwell, whose bill for a split pri mary was originally passed by the sen ate, refrained from voting. This ac tion of the senate practically disposes of the primary question for the pres ent. The bill as adopted in the report of the committee is the Stubbs bill, with one vital amendment it does not provide for a split primary. Senators Noftzger, Porter of Mont gomery, Quincy. Waggener and Getty explained their votes as their names were reached on roll call, their explanations generally embodying the views expressed by the senators during the consideration of the Caldwell direct primary bill when that measure was under consideration in the senate. The promptness with which the sen ate on Tuesday afternoon, after ap proving the action of the committee of the whole recommending the passage of the Quincy guaranty deposit bill, "railroaded" the measure introduced by Getty providing for fencing and en larging a graveyard not too far from Topeka, was significant when taken in connection with senatorial prophe cies as to the fate of a bill that was storm tossed from the beginning. "The whole thing is a joke now," said Dolley In moving that the senate disagree with the entire report of the committee of the whole. "It will all have to be thrashed over again." "I move that the committee rise, re port 'retrogression' and ask leave to sit again." was the proposition of Sen ator Tucker. "I hope the senator will withdraw his motion and let the execution pro ceed," said Getty, who, later, suggest ed to the senator from Atchison as an additional amendment to those with which this "Chinese puzzle" was al ready weighted down that when a bank fails under certain circumstances to execute its president, cashier and other officers, it be .taken In hand at once by the bank commissioner. These expressions sufficiently indi cate the sentiment of a large number, if not the majority, of the senators at the close of a long day's struggle to beat the measure into passable form. But the senator from Atchison began his assaults on the bill early and as the day advanced the firing grew- steadily heavier, until toward the last, the ram of amendments was like a volley of shot and cannlster. The most disas trous blow to the hopes of its sup porters was the adoption of Waggen er's amendment requiring stockholders in banks to waive the limitations of their liability under the law. and guar antee and assume the liability of the bank, thus making the smallest stock holder liable for every dollar of the in debtedness of the institution, so far as his holdings would go. When this was accomplished Porter of Crawford de clared the bill was rendered worthless and moved to strike out the enacting clause. "I think the senator has properly sta ted the case," said Quincy, "but I would rather strike out the amend ment." Hodges insisted that the amendment would make the bill inoperative, as any man would be foolish to go into a bank ing enterprise with a law like this. "I certainly wouldn't stake all I had to help out a bank by an investment of $200 or $300 in its stock." he said, "and if I owned stock I should immediate ly take steps to dispose of it. The people of Kansas want a banking law; they want a depository law, otherwise the governor wouldn't have called this extraordinary session; and we violate our word to the governor, given before the call was issued, if we incorporate a vicious amendment Into a bill designed to be for the benefit of the depositors of the state." Senator Miller read a letter that was sent out to the bankers of Kansas to defeat this bill, which characterized it as "dangerous and impracticable," yet, he said, a few weeks ago the bankers wanted just such a bill. "With this sentiment prevailing in this chamber and among the bankers of the state. I am sorry to say I fear for the passage of a guaranty deposit bill at this ses sion." The motion to strike out the enact ing clause was lost by a vote of 11 to 20.

Trying to Fi Up the Tax Com mission Regulation. HAVE TO PAY FARE Not Included in Pass Law Ex ceptions. Mr. Simmons Tells What He Might Have Done. Without. knowing what it was doing, wie nouse of representatives almost re pealed the antipass law Tuesday after noon. At least that is what some law yers say would have been the effect of tne passage of house bill 126, proposed by the committee on assessment and taxation- This bill provided that any member of the state tax commission shall have the right at all times to be carried iree oi cnarge over the railroads of th, state, and that anybody else that the tax commission wants to take along wnen engaged in assessing railroads shall also be carried free of charge- Then followed the provision that all acts ana parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, and it was this section which it was held would carry down the antipass law, for the antipass law distinctly prohibits the giving of free transportation .except to certain excepted classes, and the tax commission, its agents and assist ants are not excepted. The result 1s that the tax commis sioners will have to continue to pay their fare when out on official business or, rather, the state will have to con tinue to pay for them. The following is the way the bin was proposed to read: "Any member of the tax commission, while acting In the performance of his official duties, together with the secre tary, clerk, stenographer, accountants, experts or other agent whose services said commission may deem to be im portant in the discharge of their duties while engaged in the work oi investi gating or assessing railroad property, shall have th rieht. at all times, to be carried over aU the railroads and railroad trains, and parts tnereoi, m this state, free of charge, and it shall be lawful for all railroads to so carry said officials." a nn-cir cr the ban W deDOsit guarantee bill Tuesday afternoon by p no ,n 5?; as anhounced in Tuesday's State Journal, the house of representatives went aneaa ana' passea 1 rlnnnalh InRlirflTlCP bill bv a Li n uaiiA 'j vote of 104 to 1, and the Wells bill for the insurance of bank deposits Dy means of a surety bond by a vote of 6 to 21. -ti, uqo nf ti-boiiso is that bank- aha 11 he allowed to take their choice of these three measures.

The Miller legislative reapportion ment bill had a narrow escape In the house Tuesday afternoon. When it came up in committee of the whole, Mitchell of Douglas moved to strike Out the enacting, clause. The friends of the reapportionment measure made a hard fight and. finally succeeded In sidetracking the Mitchell motion and getting the bill laid over, to retain its place on the calendar. The house yesterday afternoon in committee of the whole recommended for passage the bill introduced by W. R. Stubbs providing for the election instead of appointment of members of the state tax commission and county assessors. There were some arguments as to the merits of this bill and they ran close up to the supper hour, but when the members began to get hun gry they willingly voted 'to recommend the bill for passage subject to amend ment and debate. The bill as It stands will not affect the tax commission dur ing the present terms of its members. J. T. Moore of Pittsburg, chairman of the Republican state central com mittee, said today in speaking of the effect of the new primary bill on the Republican state convention: "We don't know yet just what effect the law will have because we haven't studied it. It looks as though the con vention would meet and elect four delegates to the national convention. The convention of course can nominate no state officials, nor would it be de sirable to adopt a platform, but wo may adort resolutions. The same is true of the various congressional con ventions. Where primary elections have been called in congressional dis tricts, the committee will have to de cide what they will do." Speaker J. S. Simmons of the house, now that it is all over, says that under no consideration would he have yield ed to the request of the house petition for the SMntment of Mitchell. KIrt land and Foley on a second primary rnnfrrin.mii committee, in caae one had been necessary. "I had my speech all ready." says Mr. Simmons, "and would have told this house a few thines had it tried to force me, by a petition to appoint a certain committee. I might have made myself unpopular, but I think I would have established a precedent which would have lasted a while in the legis latures of Kansas." Mr. Simmons' attention was called to the rule which allows the house to name its own special committees if it desires to do so, and Mr. Simmons said: "I suppose under that rule tho house Sig K have ected its own commit w 01 house can't dictate to me by means of a petition."

W. B. Ham of Rooks County. Who Will xuut oi "iwiuicaiism," Mr. Ham is now a candidate for th Republican nomination for congress in the Sixth district, which Includes 22 counties in northwest Kansas. The only thing that is likely to interfere with Mr. nm s nomination Is that he Is too strong; his opponents may prefer to help elect some weaker man, so that they will have more show to aret the Job in the future. But under the pri mary election plan, Mr. Ham's chance of nomination is very good. Mr. Ham is a lawyer, and has made a lot of money In the rise of western Kansas land. Last summer Mr. Ham was of fered the Job of attorney for the state board of railroad commissioners by txovernor Hoch, a $2,500 Job, and one of the most important in the state. Mr. Ham declined this place because he relt it would be better to have no en cumbrances during his congressional race. Mr. Ham was also offered a posi tion on the state board of control an other $2,500 job, and declined that. His speech tonight is on the subject VRadi calism vs. Conservatism," but Mr. Ham is far from being a radical, a Are eater. or a man who tears up track wherever he goes. E. JR. Nichols, president of the Kan sas State Agricultural college, will speak on behalf of the agricultural in terests of the state. E. R. Xichols. Who Will Talk of Agri cultural J xmcation. President Nichols has been at the head of the agricultural college for ten years, and under his administration the school has developed wonderfully in size, in influence and in equipment. It is now a leader of its class, and Presi dent Nichols is enlarging the scope of the school to Include mechanical branches- While President Nichols does not pro fess to be a politician, he and his friends have been able to secure substantial aid from the state In building up tne agri cultural college. His address this evening will deal with the agricultural possibilities of Kansas and the effect of education on the farmer. George Lawson Sheldon, the governor of the state of Nebraska, who kindly stepped in and filled the place which had been left vacant by the Inability of ex-Governor Frantz of Oklahoma to be present, was elected in November, 1906, on the Republican ticket. This is Russell E. Butler, Native Son. Who Will Respond to tne iomi "Kansas." the first time that Governor Sheldon has ever spoken in Topeka, and he Is said to be an orator of unusual ability. Governor Sheldon tried, though un successfully, to set a new standard) of ftmrare deal in his own state. He at tempted to have part of His salary paid to Lieutenant uovernor iiope well because the lieutenant governor acted as head of the state during the absence of the governor. This shows what Governor Sheldon s ideas or square deal are. Governor Sheldon was only sis years old .when elected governor in 1906.

STOCKS Opening prices of stocks today were high er than last night for the most, but buy ing was on a moderate scale. Reading and Union Pacific rose large fractions. United States Steel opened point higher and the preferred was unchanged. North ern Pacific declined 2 points. The demand for stocks was not main tained and some of the leaders reacted almost a point. The United States Steel stocks weakened sharply which created an unfavorable market. A subsequent rise in Reading, Amalgamated Copper and the local traction stocks exerted a good ef fect elsewhere and there was a rally to the opening prices. The market in its second hour was dull and limited and prices drifted narrowlj' and uncertainly. Sales showed a number of declines by noon. Bonds were firm. The market became quite heavy in tone after midday. The extensive selling of the Harriman stocks and Reading discourag ed general buying and induced the profes sionals to put out short lines of stocks. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,' Northern Pacific and Reading were quoted to 1 points under yesterday's closing. Little evidence of support was shown in the action of the market, prices declining slowly but steadily, until a large propor tion of the list was ruling materially be low yesterday's closing. Northern Pacific sagged 2 points. Great Northern preferred. United States Steel and American Sugar 1 point. Ranse of Price on Stocks. Furnished by J. E. Gail, Commissions Grains.

Richard Co. continue to make a hit at the Nevelty this week with their comic operetta, "Love al-a-mode." Dr. L. T. Grubbs and family expect to remove to Los Angeles soon where they will make their permanent resi dence. The fourth lecture in the Shakespere course to be given by Professor Moul ton will be heard at the High School auditorium tonight. If you will think for a moment you will probably recall the fact that there was a noticeable absence of bicycle riders this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin S. Brown of 211 West Twelfth street; are the parents of a daughter which arrived at their home Tuesday. David Hodgson, the veteran Santa Fe flagman at the East Eighth street crossing is the latest man to be added to the pension lists of the Santa Fe. This is carnation day so named in honor of the anniversary of the birth of William McKinley and this fact ac counts for the number of flowers in evidence. James Kearney, assistant manager of the Maje !c theater, has returned from a visit of several days in Chicago. While there he saw the great annual electrical show. The cold weather evidently had some effect on the attendance at the Mid winter last night, as It was a much smaller crowd than has attended the show for some time. F. G. Kelly, treasurer of the To pelca Railway company. Is in Arizona, with a number of Topeka men who are Interested largely in copper min ing in that district. Thirty thousand dollars will be pent by Woods and Williamson in the nw furnishings for the National hotel which is being entirely re modeled and enlarged. T. B. Jennings who runs the weather for the government In this ectlon of the country Is authority for the statement that last night was not the coldt of the wlner by one-tenth of a degree though the mercury was but eight degrees above the zero mark at 8 o'clock this morning which was the minimum for the past 24 hours. The coldest day of the season was the 19th of December. The exercises dedicating the new girl's dormitory at the Topeka Indus trial Institute east of town were held thlg afternoon. Governor Hoch was one of the principal speakers. The Kansas State Bar association will meet In Topeka Thursday and Fri day of this week. Gardner Lathrop, head of the legal department of the Santa Fe, will be one of the speakers. The examinations at Washburn col lege are now all over, having been com pleted yesterday. The work of the second semester will commence tomor row. A few of the students are enroll ing today. The small brick building which has stood on the southeast corner of Van Buren and Sixth streets has been torn down to make room for addition al space for the Jonatnan Thomas lumber yard. Frank Marshall who sang at the Ma jestic a couple of weeks ago Is the Illus trated song singer at the Olympic. He is making a hit this week with the song "Dreaming" which is illustrated with attractive slides. The Tamagata troupe of Japanese acrobats are certainly wonders in their line. The work of the four smaller members of the troupe, the oldest of which Is but 9 years old. Is thrilling and wins lots of applause. The quickest way to get covered with dust Is to stand on the rear end of a street car that is traveling along at a lively gait. The cloud of dust swirls around at the rear and settles down on the platform. When the spring semester opens at Washburn college there will be a healthy addition to the enrollment of the school on account of the many graduates of the Topeka high scnooi wno win enter the college. Louis Charowhas, a Greek confection er between Fourth and Fifth streets on Kansas ave., took 171 pounds of pennies to the bank. These represented the cop per money taken in during the past three months and aggregated more man izw. The Lane school house on Topeka avenue In North Topeka which was abandoned when the new school build ing was completed recently has been sold to the Indian Creek Grange and will be moved into the country and used as a hall by this organization. Out at Washburn some of the stud ents In an effort to play a Joke on the school cut the wires for the electric bells which are used to mark the begin ning and ending of all recitation per iods. Consequently for several days confusion was the Order at the college. The Washburn Review this week is lamenting the fact that every day from now until the expiration of the pre; nt school year which is ordinarily avall- able for holidays, comes on Saturdays. as wasnDnurn has no school Saturdays the holidays will be of but little bene fit. A pile of boxes in the rear of Roose Brothers grocery store at Fifteenth and Lane streets caught fire in some unknown manner last night shortly before 12 o'clock and threatened to destroy the store building and con tents. The fire was put out with but small damage. The preliminary debate to select the team which will debate against Baker in the annual debate which is held in Topeka in March, will be selected Feb ruary 8, by means of a preliminary de bate which will be held in the college chapel between teams from the two lit erary societies. The city officials only recently dis covered that they had the right under the franchises Issued to one of the telephone companies to use the long distance service free of charge. Con sequently there is not quite so much disposition to refrain from using the long distance now as previously. From the Daily Arizona Silver Belt: W. A. Neiswanger, vice president of the Inspiration Mining company, leaves this morning for Kansas City to attend the meeting of the directors next Tues day. Mr. Neiswanger was highly pleased with his visit to Globe and he expressed himself as well satisfied with what has been accomplished by tho company during the past year with its limited finances. In the Harry Richard act at the Nov elty this week. Miss Ferguson remarks that there are things in this world which are higher than love, vv hen ask ed by Richard what they are she re piles that art, literature and several other things fill the requirements.

Described by officers on Governor's Island as "the army bad man," Hugh Adolphus Tyranny, now In irons in Castle WiL liam, will soon bo transferred to Fort Leavenworth to serve a twenty-four year term. The army officers on the island told why Tyranny Is kept under the close surveillance which they have adopted m nis case, tie arrived from Havana recently under -uard of three united States marines. The dav be fore landing they noticed him walking In a peculiar manner. Removing his shoes, they found in one of them a six-cftamberea revolver, which he had managed to secrete in some manner. Additional precautions were then taken to prevent his accumulating any runner stocK oi dangerous weapons. Tyranny's commitment papers show him to have been involved In several affairs Involving guardhouse sentences while stationed in Cuba. He received his long sentence for what the Daer describe as "Intent to kill" a lieutenant and a private by clubbing the former over the head with a big stick and re peatedly stabbing the latter.

Outfielders Wooley, Landreth, possi bly Davis, and one other now on the string.' The above lineup represents the status of the 1908 Topeka White Sox team at the present time. There will probably be several changes as Cooley still has a couple of good trades on which are liable to be consummated at any time. "I have been working hard towards getting a good team since I purchased Crow's interest in the team," said Manager Dick Cooley this morning in talking of the prospects of next sea son. "I feel that I have a nucleus for a good strong team and with a couple of trades which I now have on I think that the team will be completed. "I saw Brennan work a little bit last falL He looked very promising to me and I think that with a little coach ing he will develop Into a star before the end of the season. Boles is a good enough catcher for any team and if Brennan does not show up strong enough behind the bat we can use Boles. However, I would like to use Walter on third. He Is a good all around player and I think that he would make a good third baseman. He is fast on his feet and sure on a ground ball, and has a good arm. I think that one of the biggest mistakes of the past season was when Crow let Boles go. "Our pitchers would be complete if we could get Halla back. He has sign ed up with Louisville and has until May 1 to make good. If he Is not fast enough for Louisville by that time he will come back to Topeka. If he makes good, I will get the money for him which will be a great deal more than the drafting price. I look for Arnold to be one of the best pitchers in the league next season. He is young and has a world of speed, good con trol, good headwork and all that is lacking In a little experience and a lit tle coaching. Red Craig will also prove a good man. Jones will pitch better ball next season as he was in bad health all last season and he writes that he Is improving and will be in fine form next season. The other pitchers will have to be tried out be fore we can tell much about them." Cooley himseir. will play first all sea son. He Is going to play a good game too. He is planning to start playing handball at the T. A, A. in a few days and before the practice opens will spend a few days at Excelsior Springs getting into shape. Olson Is sold to Louisville under the same conditions as Halla. If he comes back to Topeka he will of course have his old position at second and Bob Kahl who was secured in the trade for Abbott will be shifted to third or else used in a trade of some sort. Ragan will play short. At the present time it looks as though Kahl or Boles would play the third corner of the diamond. For the outfield Wooley and Landreth are the only ones yet in sight. Both these men will be back as will also Davis in case he falls to make good at Louisville. Cooley says he needs an other corking good outfielder and he has his eyes on one with whom he is trying to make some sort of a deal. "I think that we will be in the race from the start to the finish," said Cooley, "and in saying this I am not afraid to say that we will be right at the top all season, Wichita or none of them being barred." By the time the Western associa tion baseball season opens next May, Dick Cooley will have paid out $2,600 on the 190 8 team. This sum does not I Include the amount which he paid Crow for the one-half Interest in the team but represents alone the money which will be spent in gathering the material for the team of the coming season and for working the men out so that the team will be ready to start the season with the best bunch in the association. One lonely thousand will be spent in getting the men together. This amount includes transportation to the players who live in various parts of the country. Many have already written and asked for advance money and there is no way in which to avoid paying this. Af ter the team is once collected the spring practice work commences. This will continue for upwards of thirty days and during all this time every man who is trying for a place on the team will have to have his living expenses paid by the local management. This will cost Cooley one dollar a day for each player, which will make an expense of about seven hundred dollars for this pur pose alone. Three hundred dollars will have to be spent In making im- grovements on the grounds. Three undred more will be spent for equip ment. One hundred and fifty will be j spent for incidental expenses. A groundkeeper's salary for a whole month will have to be paid before the season starts. And all tnls has to be done before anything comes in ex cept the receipts from exhibition games which are rarely enough to more than defray the expenses of the game. After the season starts it will cost about 160 a day to pay the sal aries of the local players. Three hun dred dollars guarantee has to be paid to Shively. The association gets $10 for every game which amounts to $700 for the season. This and trans portation mean a big outlay after the season is on and all there is to de fray this is dependant upon the pat ronage of the people. According to Dick cooley, tne $i, 500 salary limit provided by the league will be observed. At the re cent meeting of the league in Kan sas City this matter was taken up and stringent measures were adopted pro viding penalties for violations of this Western association law. A committee was appointed to keep this matter In charge all through the season and they were given authority to look into the books of the different clubs at any time and make their findings public. This committee is composed of Cooley, A. J. Baker of Joplin and Mayor Moore of Webb City, president of the Webb City team. j The local management has just is- sued their 1908 season tickets. The tickets for this season are arranged in a little rtnnlrlot nrt a nl4. v.. a. j BUUIC what similar to that of the railway mileage dooks. xnere are seventy coupons in the book for gate admis sion and RPVPntv mrtVA fr J j w v- giauuouiuu admission. The tickets can be used iur any game, including the ante-sea- son games with Chicago and Denver. The tickets are also transferable so that they can be used by any one and any number can be uses at one time, a coupon merely being detached for i each admission. These books are now on sale at the baseball headquarters, 1 115 East Fifth street or they can be secured by mall. The books sell for $25 which is a saving of nearly $5 on the season.

Charged with attempting by means of dynamite, infernal machines, fire, poison and bullets to kill George M. Roberts and family, J ohn Hurst, a miner and busi ness partner, was arrested yesterday by City Detectives Clark and Adams. The latest attempt on Roberts' life was made Monday morning, and only the presence of two detectives of the city agency prevented the Roberts family from being blown up. That was the fourteenth attempt on the life of Roberts. A year ago Hurst was arrested for trying to blow up the Roberts residence but was released. Previous to that shots had been fired through the win. dows of the Roberts home. About six months ago an infernal machine was placed near his sate and on Christmas an attempt was made to blow up the house but it failed. Since Christmas the house has been constantly watched by private detectives. Last Monday night Hurst was caught with, four sticks of dynamite on the front porch of the Roberts home. Hurst denies the charge. SHE DRANK POISON. Pai'lroeJ Far. Reronded. i Part or In Wnole. to Ouf-of-Towm Boy. Ike CrosW Bros. Co.
