Another Year to See Completion of Memorial Association Plans. Hodgenville, Ky., Feb. 12. Ninety nine years ago today Kentucky gave to the world and to the nation Abra ham Lincoln. Cradled in a rough log cabin, endowed with the heritage of poverty, this Kentucky boy was never theless consecrated from February 12. 1800, to the hour of his death to the betterment of the condition of man kind. Fitting indeed that the nation which he saved should unite on-the an niversary of his birth in peans of praise for the one brilliant American who struck the iron from bondage and bade a race stand free. Fitting also it is that plans should at this moment be well under way for the adequate commemoration of Lin coln's services to the Republic, as i3 contemplated in the Lincoln Farm Me morial association and its purposes. This association is headed by Joseph W. Folk of Missouri as president, and with Robert Collier of Collier's weekly, as chairman of the executive commit tee, which committee embraces in its membership such distinguished citizens as Horace Porter, Lyman J. Gage, Joseph J. Choate, Charles A. Towne, Henry Watterson, William H. Taft, Samuel L. Clemens. Cardinal Gibbons! Oscar S. Strauss, etc. The plans of the committee are well under way; in fact, one quarter of the $400,000 fund which it proposes to raise has already been secured. This fund has come from popular subscriptions and contributions down to a point as email as 25 cents. Every contributor has become a member of the Lincoln Farm association. The association has purchased the log cabin and farm near Hodgenville, where Lincoln came into the world. The plat of ground includes 110 acres. It is being embellished by John Russell Pope of New York City, whose plans combine the virtues of sentiment and craftsmanship. He has apportioned a strip of land 1.000 feet long at the farm's western corner.whlch will be screened from the other land- One package, 10 cents, makes one pint of wholesome Fruit Jelly. flavors from tree fruits. scape by hedges and poplar trees. At each end of this natural pantheon of poplars appears a pair of imposing monuments. One is a marble column 50 feet high, marking the precise spot where the log cabin stood, while the cabin Itself will repose in a temple at the opposite end of the court. This lat ter memorial building will be an im posing structure which will enclose the entire original log cabin Just as it stood the day when Lincoln was born, to gether with other relics and a cabinet containing the names of the donators to the Lincoln Memorial Farm fund.- It is expected that the Lincoln me morial will be ready for dedication February 12, 1909, the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, at which time it is expected President Roosevelt will dedi cate the modern temple to the memory of Lincoln. No more touching senti ment regarding this splendid patriotic act has been voiced than came from Mark Twain, whose suggestion in this regard has already become a classic. "The government," said he, "is spend ing millions every year on agriculture colleges and model farms to teach the art of raising more corn and more squash. In the present political, moral and social atmosphere of the American people there is nothing in that line that can compare with this little model farm that raised a man." OHIO FOR TAFT. Every Connty Bnt One Selected Dele gates in His Favor. Columbus, O., Feb. 12. The net result of the Republican primaries held throughout Ohio was in favor of W. H. Taft. Four delegates at large, 22 district delegates to the national convention in Chicago and a list of delegates to the state convention to be held March 3, which will be in his favor, were selected. No opposition worth mentioning developed during the day. The supreme court destroyed all chances of success by the Foraker element in Cuyahoga county by de claring that the Taft county commit tee was the only valid organization of this kind in the county and the se lection of delegates went by default, no ticket being placed in the Held against the. Taft candidates. In Knox county the opposition to Taft had brought an independent ticket in the field, the "independents," however, being all Foraker men. The Taft candidates won easily, the vote being about four to one In their favor. Ac tual voting for delegates to the state convention was carried on in but 35 counties out of a total of 88. the Taft delegates in 52 counties having no op position. Congressional primaries were held in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and part of the Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Eigh teenth and Twenty-first districts and in small portions of the Seventh and Nineteenth. In all but the two last, where in the voting was in too limited a territory to be decisive, the Taft people won without opposition. In the Ninth, Sixth and Sixteenth dis tricts candidates for congress were nominated directly at the primaries. It was the original intention to select delegates to the national convention in the same 'manner, but later it was dor.WtvH trf nvnM chn.nr of fntiirp complications to name the delegates at a regular district convention. In the Eighth congressional pri maries were not held in one county, Hardin, but the result there can not possibly override the remainder of the district and two degelates to the Chicago convention are certain for Taft. The following statement was issued by A. I. Vorys, manager of Taft: "Ohio is for Taft. The result at the primaries completes the demon stration. Every county, except one with seven delegates, now has select ed its delegates to the state conven tion. Every county has selected Taft delegates. The state convention will be unanimously for Taft for every one of the 815 delegates is for and is in structed for Taft. This unanimity al so demonstrates that every one of the 46 delegates to the national conven tion will be for Taft." CARRIED OFF $20,000. Robbers Dynamite and Loot the Bank at Rich II11I, Mo. Rich Hill, Mo., Feb. 12. Securing $20,000 in cash after dynamiting1 and badly damaging the building of the Farmers' and Manufacturers' bank In this city, five bandits, heavily armed, terrorized the citizens here at an early hour this morning, and after exchang ing shots with the sheriff's posse, escaped to the rough country south of here. No one was injured. A terrific explosion caused by the dynamiting of the vault of the bank awakened the town a half hour after midnight, and the populatoin hurried to the two story brick bank building in the center of the city. .Many -persons arrived in time to see the robbers riding away. Some of the citizens opened fire on the fleeing bandits and the robbers returned the fire. Cashier J. W. Jamison said that $15,000 in currency and $5,000 in gold was taken by the robbers. Three thousand in silver, all that remained of the bank's cash, was not touched. The bank carried $25,000 insurance. The Raven's Gift Elijah's Manna Most delicionsly flavoured flake food made.

Most Roads Making Ready for Spring Work. DlYiflion Superintendents Now Drawing Plans. BEQm NEXT MONTH. On Account of Conditions Main tenance Work Will Increase. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Division superintendents of the differ ent roads In this section of the country have begun to take up their plans for spring work. Notwithstanding the conditions at present it is confidently expected and almost assured that a large amount of ncs construction work will be started In the spring although it will probably be a great deal less than that of a year ago. The different division superintendents are busily engaged in preparing state ments which must be forwarded to the general headquarters of their respec tive roads next month. Joint meetings of the general managers and division officers will follow and at these meet ings the work of the coming season will be discussed. It Is expected that a great deal of the new work will be started by the end of March, provided oi course mat me weather is favorable. Owing to the retrenchment policies adopted by the different roads last fall, and the decisions of the officials that the work must be kept down to a mini mum along construction lines, a reac tion is looked for in the spring when the work of the track and maintenance departments will be much heavier. It is customary for the railroads to keep a large portion of the mainten ance force busy all winter making nec essary repairs and minor Improvements along the main lines and in the larger yards. This was largely done away with this past season on account of the wonderful shrinkage in freight traffic during November and December. Dur ing the past month practically no men have been working in these departments. With the opening of spring, however, traffic is bound to increase. Hence the necessity of making repairs from time to time on the tracks will become more pressing. In some quarters announce ments have already been made of in creases in the maintenance and con struction forces. Other roads will like ly follow before spring is here. Some weeks ago., division superin tendents on seme of the roads forward ed a list of needed imorovement to the general headquarters. Many of them were then advised that new con struction work would not be started for some time, although they were given authority to make any minor improve ments that were absolutely necessary to care for the business.. While auth ority to make any new improvements is still lacking estimates on the cost of improvements that are necessary to handle the increasedotonnage which is expected to be noticeable soon, seem to Indicate that the' local roads of Kan sas will spend considerable money dur ing the coming year for construction. MANY PROTESTS RECEIVED. Roads Want Extension of Line In Enforcing Nine Hour Law. Washington, Feb. 12. The Inter state Commerce commission has been deluged) with letters and telegrams for the past week protecting against the proposal of the railroads that the commission suspend the enforcement of the law providing that railroad telegraphers shall not be permitted to work more than nine hours a day. Since Saturday last 1,759 such pro tests have been received by the com mission in the form of telegrams. They come from telegraphers em ployed by the railroads and from union labor leaders. The law in question will become effective March 4. While the commis sion has made no formal ruling on the application of the railroads that an extension shall be allowed, It is un derstood that the members of the commission are of the opinion that they have no discretion but to begin enforcing the law upon the date named. A committee of railroad operating executive officers conferred last week with President Roosevelt on the proposition to suspend operation of the law, but he said that he had no discretion in the matter and referred the committee to the Interstate Com merce commission. An amendment of the nine hour clause can only be ob tained through congress. TO USE ELECTRICITY. Steam Will Be Displaced an Portion of New Western Pacific. New York. Feb. 12. A dispatch from San Francisco states that the Western Pacific, which is now being built by the Gould interests from Salt Lake City, Utah, to -San Francisco, id to use electricity for motive power. While the statement Is somewhat premature, yet it is the purpose of the management to use electricity as soon as practicable. E. J. Jeffrey, president o the Rio Grande, saidi: "We have discussed the question of electricity for the Western Pacific from time to time for a year and a half or more, but have not yet reached any definite conclusion. The proba bilities are that when we open the railroad for operation we shall have steam power, but we shall continue our studies of the uses and merits of electric power, with a view to its adoption in the future." Speaking of the work already done on the road Mr. Jeffery said that about 300 miles, or nearly one-third of the road, was tracked and bal lasted. "It will probably be completed," said he, "In May, 1909. Eighty per cent of the main line is on a grade of 21.4 feet to the mile and the maxi mum grade over the Sierra Nevadas is over 43 feet to the mile, west bound, and 62.8 feet to the mile eastbound."

Vice President Gallivan of the Internation al Union of Boiler Makers today an nounced that the strike of boiler makers against the several railroads in- Minnesota is declared off. This an nouncement follows the vote which was taken last week to determine whether the strike should continue. Mr. Gallivan saidi that weather con ditions have been against the men, as the roads have not needed the equip ment that they would ordinarily have needed in a severe winter. The men have been on strike since September. The railroad officials announce that they will take back such men as they need. Max Flgman was at the Grand this afternoon and will be there again to night in Grace Livingston Furniss' dramatization of Harold MacGrath's story "The Man on the Box." Mr. Flg man is considered by many competent judges the foremost comedian on the American stage and if the old adage that "money talks" counts for anything there must be some truth in the state ment for he has made a lot of money with the play and continues to do so every day. The .American people ex press their judgment of their stage favorites at the box office and it has been truly said that while you may fool some of them all of the time and all of them some of the time you cannot do It to all of them all the time. Mr. Fig man has been playing to crowded houses all of the time. He has with The African Negro Has Beautiful Pearly Teeth, Clean, White and Perfect, Without a Flaw, Even In Old Age. Living Near to Nature, His Digestion Is Perfect. Dr. Livingstone, and later, Henry Stanley, botn of whom spent much time in the exploration of Africa, in their memoirs mention the fact that mem bers of all the tribes that they came in contact with possessed beautiful, white, pearly, sound teeth and that on inves tigation they found that this was due to the fact that the digestive organs of the negro had never been impaired, and that they were able at all times to take care of the coarse foods that were ta ken into the stomach. The negroes' food is of the plainest kind and is seldom if ever cooked. It is eaten as it is found with but little preparation. The cause of unsound and imperfect teeth found among civilized people is due to two important facts the prev alence of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles, and the food we eat. In the foods that we eat there is a lack of phosphates and other materials necessary to make repairs and supply the waste in the teeth. Then, again few people in civilized countries are free from dyspepsia, which Interferes with the whole system and causes trouble everywhere. To have sound teeth, cure your dys pepsia and eat proper foods, and you will have little trouble with them. A package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be kept in the house at all times. They cure dyspepsia, sour stomach, indigestion, and put the stom ach and intestines in a healthy condi tion. The Tablets contain a powerful in gredient which assists the stomach In the process of digestion, and puts it in a healthy condition. There are many bodily Ills due en tirely to stomach troubles. If you are ill ask yourself if your trouble may not be caused by indiges tion. This may be the cause of the whole difficulty, and to cure it means to have perfect health. You can get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets at any druggists', for they are as staple as any drug in the store. They are 50 cents per package.

WW him a superior company and a complete scenic proaucuon. Some dramas die in infancy for lack of the elements of success. No matter how elaborately presented they may be, they fail to appeal to the public and soon go on the shelf. But a melodrama like "Human Hearts" holds its original charm. It has been seen throughout the country for the past ten years, yet there is no decrease in public interest in this delightful play. It contains all the elements of suocess pathos, villainy, and comedy. Besides, the scenic sur roundings make a picturesque stage production and that attracts attention. "Human Hearts" will be seen at the Grand on Saturday, matinee and night. "The Scene of the Roofs,' which is one of the unusual novelties offered by Charles H. Yale in the production of the new musical spectacle, "Painting the Town," which will be at the Grand on Sunday, matinee and night, is not only one of if not the funniest conceits ever presented, but it is also a triumph of stage mechanism. It is of the trick or instantaneous change order. The scene preceding this represents the con nected dining room of the Folie Cafe. There occurs the most exciting chase after Hogan and Brogen, the two comedians of the play, who through a series of unfortunate yet comical cir cumstances, have got themselves Into a scrape. Their pursuers, the police and others, closely press them; there seems no chance for escape, when Hogan discovers a fireplace in the room. Instantly there is total darkness and as instantly the lights are raised showing the roof of the Cafe, and a beautiful moonlight scene appears. MARTIAL MUSIC OONDEMXB3).

Many Persons Are Said to Have Received Benefit. RELATES INTERESTING CASE. Mr. J. L. Hayslip Tells How He .Recovered From Rheumatism. This week has witnessed many re markable occurrences at Cooper's headquarters, Stansfleld's Drug Store, 632 Kansas ave. People who came to purchase these famous preparations when Mr. Cooper first arrived here, are now coming back in great numbers to ex press their thanks for what the medi cine has done for them. Many of these persons have suffer ed for years with various disorders, but although using numerous reme dies that had been recommended they were unable to secure any permanent relief. One incident in particular which will illustrate what is happening ev ery day, occurred Tuesday. Mr. J. L. Hayslip of Oakland, Kan., had suffer ed for some time with rheumatism, but could get no relief, hearing of the wonderful success Cooper's remedies were having in Topeka he decided to give them a trial. What the result has been is best told in his own words. He said: "For some time I have been a suf ferer from rheumatism, it finally be came so bad that I could not sleep nights, and I was getting worse every day, despite the fact that I was us ing different remedies that had been recommended to me. "My wife was also suffering from nervous trouble, she often times could not handle her dishes without drop ping them, she did not rest well at night and, like myself, was getting worse every day. "One evening I happened to notice in the Topeka papers an article about the wonderful preparations which Mr. Cooper was introducing in that city. I read the article to my wife and although we did not think these remedies could help either of us, we decided to give them a trial. "This was over a week ago, and now I am here to say that this is the first medicine that I have ever used that has done exactly as claimed. Al though we have taken the treatment but a short time, I can say that it has helped my rheumatism wonder fully and I can sleep peacefully at night. It has had the same effect with my wife, she does not seem to be so nervous as she was and she says that she is beginning to feel like a new woman. "People who are sick can talk all they wish about not being able to get any relief, but I want to say that the Cooper preparations do every thing claimed for them and even more. It is a wonderful remedy. Such expressions as these coming as they do from people who have been sick is evidence that Cooper's remedies are accomplishing some re markable results in this city. NEW CHINESE CONSULS. Several of Them Coming Over With Minister Wu Ting Fang. San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 12 It is said here that with the coming of Minister Wu, who replaces Chen Tung Liang Cheng, who left Washington last July there will be a complete change of the Chinese consular service In the new world for the members of his suite will be the new officials who are coming to represent the Chinese government in foreign ports.

Until the arrival of the new consul general at this port Vice Consul Owyang King will be acting consul. He is a graduate of Yale of the class of '81, and has been In the service of the Chinese government since 1883. HARNESS CASE APPEALED. Charles Wortman Not Satisfied With Conviction in Neosho County. Charles Wortman, a well known German citizen of Neosho countv. who was convicted of grand larceny in rne lower court, today appealed his case to the state supreme court. Wortman was accused of stealing some harness, canned goods, meat and other stuff from the barn and cellar of Dan Ferguson and Fergu son and some of his farmer friends claimed to have followed Wortman by the tracks of his wagon for nine miles to Wortman's home. Then they got a search warrant, and found a bag containing the stolen harness un der the bed. The other stuff was missing. Wortman claimed that he had found the harness in the road. The Jury, however, found him guilty. Wortman has considerable money, and Is able to put up a good fight.

Prob ably she wanted to divert her mind. The return of "Peewee" Jones to the local pitching staff next season will be hailed with a great deal of enthusiasm among the local fans who have not yet forgotten how he defeated Wichita three games in one week last season.

OTHERS BY CHICAGO. Three Frenchmen Occupants of the Leading Car. Germans and Italians Partici pating in the Trip. New York, Feb. 12.-Three automobll lsts in a big foreign car started late yesterday afternoon on a 22,000 mile overland journey from New York to Paris. The start was made from the Pulitzer building and the first stage of the journey will be completed at Phil adelphia. From the Pennsylvania city the automobilists will strike out straight across the continent. The oc cupants of the car are Eugene De Louvler, Maurice Droeghe and Max Hohmann. The regularly organized New York to Paris run with three French, one Italian, one German and one American entrants started at 11 o'clock today. Six Machines Start. The order of start and the personnel oi me various teams follow: No. 1, French G. Bourcler St. Chaf fray, Captain Hans Hendrik Hanson, and M. Autran. No. 2, French M. Godard, M. Hoe, and M. Livler. No. 3, French M. Pons,' M. Des champs, and M. Berthe. No. 4, Italian Antonio Scarfoglio, Emllio Sirtorl, and Henri Haega. No. 5, German Lieutenant Koeppen. Engineer Hans Knape, and Engineer .Ernest Alaas. No. 6, American Montague Roberts and Howard Brinker. Three of the drivers contested in the famous Pekin-to-Parls race, the sue cess of which caused the present unus ual contest to be projected. A part of the Journey is to be made over the same route traversed by the winning car In the Pekin-to-Paris race from Irkutsk on the line of the trans-Siberian rail road to Paris. Contestants Are Confident. All of the men are confident of their ability to take their machines safely through the difficult task before them. The winter journey across the western plains and plateaus of the United States, including the crossing of the Rocky mountains In Wyoming at an al titude of more than 8,000 feet, is re garded by the racing enthusiasts as the easiest part of their work and they ex pect to be in San- Francisco inside of 30 days. As to the remainder of the Journey, Including as it does the first exper ience with an automobile in the Polar regions, the estimates of the time re quired to get through to. Paris vary from six to thirty days..- Each car will.be equipped with every contrivance the drivers believe the exigencies of the Journey will re quire. Spiked tires for travel over the frozen rivers of Alaska and1 Siberia are a part of the equipment and various devices for retaining heat in the engines and radiators have been made. Camp utensils, repair outfits, and stores will ,make cumbersome baggage. Through TJntraveled Wastes. The route leads through many miles of heretofore untraveled wastes, but so far as It has been possible the com mittee in charge of the contest have made arrangements for supply sta tions. The drivers, it is believed, will elect to keep together through the more difficult stages of the trip, leav ing the speed feature to the last. Reaching San Francisco by way of southern California, a detour from Reno carrying them south to Mojave, Sanrta Barbara, the automobilists will take a steamer to Seattle and there transfer to another steamer to Val-dez, Alaska. A journey of 1,100 miles by snow packed roads and frozen rivers will bring the raoers to Nome. The arrangements ror crossing Behrimr straits are not yet perfected. Unless there is solid ioe a steamer will be taken to East Cape, Siberia, a mat ter of some sixty miles. Then the auto lata will skirt the frozen shore of the Arctic sea to the mouth of the Lena, river. Up this frozen stream they will make their way to Irkutsk, from which point the roads to Mos cow, St. Petersburg, Berlin and- Paris are well defined. y Reception at Chicago. Chicaero Feb. 12. Extended prepara tions are being made by the Chicago Automobile club for the reception or endurance drivers who start from New York City on the New York to Paris trip the most. remarKame auxomoone tour ever known. The drivers are to be received by the Chicago Automobile organization and tendered the courtesy or quarters. mra Chicago to San Francisco the club will outline the route to be covered. All doubts as to the sincerity of the pro moters of this remarkable trip were set aside by the arrival of the German, French and Italian entries in New York City. The American Automobile association has written its members throughout the country, to extend courtesies to the endurance riders. More than 20,300 miles are to be cov ered in the trip. From New York the drive will be up the Hudson to Albany, -rnctaia-rA tn "Rnflfalo. around the lakes and then to Chicago. From here the run will be directed to Canton, la., then to Council Bluffs and across country to Nevada, passing down to Los Angeles, northward to San Francisco, to Seattle and by boat to Valdez.

City Will Have Open Competition In Paving Contracts. Open competition shall rule in the brick paving contracts let by the city this spring declares the city adminis tration. A. fight will be waged on the local paving brick combine which is maae up or the Capital City Vitrified Brick and Pavine com nan v t h Tnnt Vitrified Brick and Tile company, man- uiaciurers, ana a rew ravored contrac tors who get inside prices on the brick from these manufacturers. Outside contractors have often attempted to come and bid against the local strong comDinauon Dut tney were discouraged before getting more than half way in. Last year for the first time in years did an outside contractor succeed In wrest ling away the big plum of paving from the local contractors. H. N. Rice of St. Joseph who was connected with a brick manufacturing plant at St. Joseph man aged to secure the lowest bid and as he had the brick at his disposal too he was in a position that was entirely strategic. But though the local com bine was sorely disappointed a deal was made by which Rice disposed of his contract to the local contractors and the local manufacturers again furnish ed the brick. This year it Is not expected that Rice will bid but the city hopes to secure the presence of other bidders who are in a position to lay the brick down in Topeka at sharp competitive prices with the local combine. The city fa vors giving the contract to local bid ders and the use of local brick but it does not want to pay more than the ruling price for the work done nor the material. .Plans are now being laid by the city which will tend to offer strong inducements to paving contractors from Coffeyville, Caney, Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., to enter into the Topeka field. The specifications for paving will also be materially altered this year. They will provide for the laying of brick pav ing blocks having dimensions of ZMt Inches by four by nine inches. This is almost a third larger than the ordinary sized paving brick. The new brick are called "blocks." They will also be pro vided with lugs which will only permit of them being laid so far apart In order that the asphalt filler and grout filler S 1,000.00 For Any Substance Injurious to Health Found in Calumet I Baki n 2 Best By Test" The Only High Grade Baking Powder Sold at a Moderate Price.

Grout filler is also something new this year in Topeka paving history, asphalt has been em ployed but never a grout filler. In adopting the latter it will be necessary to provide for expansion joints in the paving. A larger sized brick will also be specified for the first layer than has been specified In previous years.
