Topeka Business Men Hold an Enthusiastic Meeting. Decide to Make the, Fund Permanent. BASIS FORTHE FUTURE 3H. A. Low Outlines Flans for Success of Yenture. Would Turn Orer Grounds and Ererything to State. Seven thousand Topeka dollars are jret to be raised for the $12,000 Com mercial club fund for the state fair. This means that $1,000 must be secured by each one of the seven committees organised at a specially called meet ing of the club this morning. The city was divided up into districts and a committee was assigned to each of the districts so arranged. A chairman "for ach of the seven committees was ap pointed and the chairman In turn will elect the members of his committee. They are out for the money. M. A. Low sounded the keynote when he said: "I am in favor of making this fair a go. I think that we can get the state to help. First, we must raise this $12,000. When we have this $12,000 I am in favor of going to the state and offering to turn over the whole thing, grounds and everything to the state. If the state does not take it I am in favor of raising $12,000 again next year and have the county raise a second $25,000 until we have got this on a permanent basis." The 20 business and professional men who were present applauded vigorously for when Mr. Low says, "We must and will have it," the having becomes a reality. The men who are out heading the search for dollars are: Councilman C. E. Jordan, for the district of North Topeka; C. M. Lawrence, district from Second street north to Kansas river; L. M. Penwell, distrlot east side of Kansas avenue from Second to Sixth; C. G. Blakely, distrlot west side of Kansas avenue from Second to Sev enth streets; Albert fatten, district east side of Kansas avenue south from Topeka avenue; J. W. Robinson, dis trict on west side of Kansas avenue south of Seventh street; H. A. Heath, district at large, taking in the profes sional men. The county commissioners propose to make a. tax levy which will result in raising $25,000 to be expended for a per manent building on the state fair grounds provided the olty raises $18,000. Of this last about $5,000 has already been secured, announced President W. P. Jensen of the Commercial club this morning. Two questions were before the meet ing this morning: Whether the fund raised should havo tied to it the promise of a portion or all of it being paid. The twenty business men deoided quickly the answers that should be made and agreed that the $12,000 raised should be in the form of a permanent investment, as a nest egg for the cap italization of a great big show, and that city and county should be raked with a fine toothed comb for the bal ance of the sum needed, $7,000, by dis tricting the territory. This money, too, must be raised by April 1, if the plans contemplated for the suocess of the fair this fall shall be under full steam this was the as sertion made by those who are acquaint ed with the organization of similar undertakings. The money need not be paid in then but the fund should be as sured bv that time In order that the booming of the state fair may be begun at once. What They Said. Here Is a symposium of the talks made this morning: "If we are going to have a fair It is necessary for us to put up some money and keep it there. I think that the chances of the state taking hold eventually are very good. Twelve thousand dollars would be a good start but I don't think we ought to have it back," said Mr. Low in the beginning. "There are about 360 stockholders I believe in the fair association now. What do you think about that?" asked Mr. Jensen of Mr. Low. "They don't expect to get their money back, they want to have a fair. I will answer for that. We haven't done any good, replied the latter. "It seems to me that we should put in our money, leave it there and do business with it. That will encourage others. Though I cannot afford to do as much as some, I am willing to do mv share, said L. M. Penwell. "If the fair is a success we will all get our money back from the in creased business that comes as a con- sequence. I don't thimc we should get this money back. Though I can't do any work, as I am connected with another committee on another matter of raising money, I am willing to add $50 to my subscription," said Frank P. MacLennan. "If you expect to rebate you will have to do this thing over every year and on the other hand if you put this money in and the fair is a success, you won't have to do this over," said H. A. Heath. "I have been around trying to raise some of this money," said Albert Patten, "and I believe more can be done if a larger body of men go out together. We ought to make our visits and do it promptly." "If you are going to have a state fair this fall we must give out the news very soon," said r,Tr. Low. "I. think we have been delayed al ready too much," remarked W. I. Mil ler "We must have this money raised by April 1. The longer we de lay the harder it will be to raise this money." H. A. Heath: "The whole county is interested in this I know. Let everyone in the county who may be interested receive one of these let ters which are being send out on this subject." "I am sure all the business men are for this fair for they are going to gain by it If any profits are to be made let them be put back Into It again," suggested Councilman Jordan. I am Interested in seeing a good old fashioned state fair," said J. W. Aobinson. "I don't think It is an ad- vantage in soliciting money to half FRIDAY EVENING. way promise that it is going to be paid back. I think that the money should be put in and left there. I am in favor of making it an out and out dona tion." "Every dollar that we make should ?o back into it to make it better," said F. Doran. To make it easy for those who want to help the payments have been ar ranged to fall due quarterly, only 25 per cent of the amount subscribed be ing payable at once. Those who can not pay In money would probably be willing to offer some article of mer chandise which they carry in stock and this will be accepted by the soliciting committees and used in the way of a premium list which always are a prominent feature of fairs. "Though I have almost every hour in the day and all my nights engaged, I am ready to help in whatever capaci ty I can in this movement," said N. H. Loomis. "I am somewhat a stranger here but if I can help in any way I will be glad to do it," said Charles W. Hull, man ager of the Kansas Voting Machine company. Mr. Scott Hopkins of the Prudential Trust company and A. A. Rodgers also spoke enthusiastically of the benefits to be derived from building up a fair on the plans suggested.

Washington, March 13.-Admlral ans Dattieshlp fleet after leaving San UTancisco will visit Hawaii. Samoa. Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, the Philippines and return to New York by way of the Suea canal. Secretary Metcalf announced the fu ture movements of the fleet after the cabinet meeting today. It will leave San Francisco on July 6, "for our Pa cific possessions," as Mr. Metcalf styled it. The vessels will first touch at Hawaii, where they will coal. After that they will go to Samoa, following this up by a visit to Australia, where they will stop at the cities of Mel bourne and Sydney, the invitation of the Australian government to visit that country, having been supplemented by a more cordial one from the British ambassador, Mr. Bryce. Leaving Australia the vessels are to go to Manila and while in the Philip pines the annual fall target practice will be held. Thence they will return to the United States by way of the Suea canal, stopping only at such ports as are necessary for coaling purposes.

Presidency of the Knickerbocker His if He Wants It. Chicago, March IS. It became known yesterday that Charles Gates Dawes, president of the Central Trust company of this city, has been offered the position of president of the re organized Knickerbocker Trust com pany of New Tork. It is stated he has definitely declined the place. Three attempts were made by the New Tork interests to Induce Mr. Dawes to become head of the institu tion. It is understood the final of fer was extremely attractive. Mr. Dawes was out of the city when the information became public, but his cousin, D. R. Dawes, cashier of the Central Trust company, gave out a statement on the matter. "It is true the offer of the position of president of the Knickerbocker Trust company was made to Mr. Dawes," he said, "but I think it may be stated definitely he has declined the offer. He intends to remain in Chicago." NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL. Investigation of Stock Gambling Will Be Only a Mild One. Washington, March 13.

HIS TRIAL WAS FAIR. The Courl Says and He Is Un doubtedly Guilty. Prisoner Is Released on Bond Pending an Appeal. Chicago, March 13. John R. Walsh, former president of the Chi cago National bank of this city, who was convicted of illegal use of the funds of the institution was today de nied a new trial by Judge Anderson in the United States district court and sentenced to' serve five years in the federal penitentiary at Ft. Leaven worth. As soon as the court had announc ed the refusal to grant a new trial, the attorneys for the defense entered a motion in arret of Judgment on which they argued for some time. It was generally thought about the court room that they would consume two i or more 1&-'Z.??n.Z.?.tht the house is likelv to follow the i Attorney Hart, who presented it, j teasea speaKing m about 30 minutes, erruledethnmnHn vromvVr ov- erruled the motion and sentenced the banker to five years in Ft. Leaven- worth. Judge Anderson, in denying the motion for a new trial, spoke without notes, his decision requiring about one hour in delivery. He first took up the alleged non-assent to the ver dict of Juror Palmer, reciting the circumstances from the records of the court and declaring: "It can not be said for a moment that Palmer dis sented from the verdict. To my mind there is but one construction to be plaoed upon the whole matter and that is that he assented to the verdict. If it had appeared to counsel for the defendant that he did not do so, they should either have asked that the jury be sent back for further deliber ation or that it be discharged. No such request was made and the court is therefore Justified in saying that counsel took at that time, the same view as was held by the court and that was that the verdict was entire ly regular." The court further declared that the charges of misconduct on the part of had stated in open court that they had no objections to offer to whatever degree of liberty the court might al low the jury at times when court was not in session. This being the case, he declared that counsel was barred from claiming that too much liberty had been allowed, particularly when it had not been shown that any im proper use had been made of the freedom granted. It is claimed by the defense that while in a variety theater, one of the Jurors in this trial removed the gar ter of an actress. What that has to do with this case I can not imagine, and why the dignified counsel should bring it Into this oase is beyond my comprehension. It has no logical or possible relation to the deliberations of the Jury. Much has been said. aDout the incon sistency of the verdict, it being claimed that the defendant was found guilty upon several counts which charge the same offense to have been committed in different ways. It seems to me that the verdict covers all the points in the case and that there has been no incon sistency as alleged." On the point of alleged error commit ted during the trial, Judge Anderson said: "Geenrally speaking I want to say now that this defendant has had a fair trial. Nowhere did the court allow evidence to go before this Jury wihch was cal culated alone to prejudice the case of the defendant. "In my opinion no reasonable man could hear the evidence in this case and have any doubt that the defendant In tended the things that are charged against him in the indictment. For more than 30 years I have taken part in legal procedure as a lawyer and a judge and it is my deliberate conviction that a more reckless, utter disregard of law i has never been shown in any case i within my experience. Feeling thus it was with considerable misgiving, if I may so speak, that I sat here yester day for more than three hours and heard counsel for the defendant argue that the government had failed to show criminal intent. I had occasion to say in ruling upon a motion made by de fendant's counsel that no man can serve two masters. To my mind that ls the key of the whole situation. The defendant was a banker and president of a national bank. The proof shows that he loaned to himself practically even-tenths or three-fourths of the en- j lre assets of this national bank seven teen or eighteen million dollars, which was invested not In properties, which had been developed, but in railways and other properties which he hoped to develop. The banker was lost in the promoter, the speculator, the railway man. The evidence clearly establishes this. He owed a duty to the bank, his master. He attempted to serve these other interests, the other master. To my mind there has been in recent times no clearer demonstration of the state ment that a man who is a banker ought to be nothing but a banker, and that until at least those bankers who own and manage national banks understand that when they serve their bank, they can not serve other interests until that idea prevails, cases like this will prob ably continue to arise. "Under all the circumstances my duty appears to me to be perfectly plain and this motion for a new trial is overruled." The defense then entered a mo tion in arrest of judgment which was also overruled by the court. It was the general opinion that counsel for the defense would con sume considerable time in arguing the motion for arrest of judgment but af ter Attorney Hart had spoken for 30 minutes the court interrupted him, saying: "I think you may. place those mat- IOPEKA, KANSAS, MARCH ters before the court of appeals, Mr. Hart; you are making no showing here." Turning to the prisoner, Judge Anderson said: "Mr. Walsh, have yon anything to say why I should not now pronounce Judgment upon you?" Walsh, without arising, shook his head slightly and the court said: "The character of the evidence and the character of the crime of which this defendant had been found guilty call for extreme Judgment. The facts are however, that this defendant is 70 years of age and that mere imprison ment is of itself so heavy a punish ment in a case of this kind, I have concluded the law will be satisfied with the minimum penalty which is Ave years." The court further directed that all the counts in the indiotment be served concurrently and further di rected that the defendant-pay the en tire cost of the trial. An application was Immediately made to Judge Grossup of the United States court of appeals for a writ of supersedeas which was granted and Walsh was released under bonds of $50,000 pending the hearing of his appeal.

Victim of C thief Shippy's Pistol Left Some Friends. Chicago, March IS. -The Tribune to day says: Carefully laid plans for the defense of the name of Lazarus Averbuch. who attempted to assassinate Chief of Po lice Shippy, were revealed when the body of the youth was exhumed from the Potter's Field and reburled after an autopsy. It developed that John Maynard Har lan's law firm has been retained to represent the friends of the young man at the inquest which will be held next week. Attorney Harold LeClair j Ickes, Mr. Harlan's associate, attend ed the autopsy, which was performed by Dr. Ludwlg Hektoen of the Rush Medical college. The famous patholog ist has been retained by the same in fluential interests that secured Mr. Harlnn as legal representative. The secret of the employment or these eminent advisers came out in spite of extraordinary efforts made to preserve it until tne inquest, ah in dications point to a sensational at tempt to prove Averbuch a martyr. One of the most interesting facts that developed was that Mr. Harlan and Dr. Hektoen were retained by per sons not up to date recognized as be ing affiliated with the anarchist lead ers who had taken the initiative in defending the act of Averbuch. The autopsy on the body of Averbuch was performed in the clinical labora tory at the Dunning insane hospital near the Potter's Field. The examina tion took place in the presence of city and county officials and representa tives of the police and the family and fronds of the dead boy. The gun shot wounds were examined with great minuteness and probed for the bullets, several of which were extract ed from the body to be used as ex hlhits at the inquest.. The body was then taken to Ridge lawn, a Jewls cemetery, and- reburied. CANAL ZONE CENSUS. Much Difficulty Is Experienced Enumerating the Inhabitants. in Washington, March 13. The taking of a new census of the Panama canal zone is in progress. It is a difficult m attar to take a census of the zone inhabitants because oi tne composi tion of the population, tne irequency with which persons change their resi- dence and the number of languages in cnmmnn use. Almost all the em- j ployes, both white and black, Hve in barracks or bachelor quarters and must De enumeratcu i iuoimj large portion of them can not be found In their quarters until after 9 or 10 o'clock at night and this together with the fact that a large -body of labor ers may be at work in one district or another adds to' the difficulty of the work.

Straw Indicates Hoeh's Entry Into Senatorial Race. NAMES BENTON'S MAN. Expects Help in Decatur County and Sixth District. Mr. Bristow the Latest to Issue a Manifesto. Late Thursday afternoon Governor Hoch appointed James Miller to the position of probate Judge of Decatur county, over Charles Rector, to fill the vacancv created by the death of A. L. Patchen. The supporters of Rector say that this was a political move by Gover nor Hoch for the purpose of securing the political help of Otis L. Benton of Oberlin. They believe that it points clearly to the probability that Gover nor Hoch will get Into the senatorial race. Both Miller and Rector have been in Topeka for several days working for the appointment. Rector was the son-in-law of A. L. Patchen, the late probate Judge, and has been acting probate Judge of the county during the long illness of Judge Patchen. Both Mr. Miller and Mr. Rector were endorsed by a long list of promi nent citizens of Decatur county. Mil ler had the backing of Otis L. Ben ton, who is a leading candidate for Republican delegate to the national convention from the Sixth district. The charge was made against Miller that he was intemperate, but this was strenuously denied, and Mr. Miller's character was vouched for by some of the leading business men of the coun ty. The appointment went to Miller largely because of the fact that he is an old soldier. It is said. Mr. Rector claims that it was a strictly political appointment and that Governor Hoch gave the place to Miller because he believed that Otis Benton has the "long pull" in Decatur county. John P. O'Grady, who was here working for Mr. Rector's appointment and who naturally is sore over the turn of affairs said: "Governor Hoch will find that this Ui t- TinUHrMLl null which he made in Decatur county will hurt Instead of help him. The wenton crow a bo noi control Decatur county, and this will shnwn at the next primary when Miller will be beaten for the nomina tion by the Republican voters of tha county. Colliers Weekly is. dipping into the Kansas senatorial campaign, with an endorsement in Its last issue of the candidacy of J. L. Bristow. Colliers is nsrareri in a "oure senate" campaign. and is printing some articles exposing the alleged improper relations main tained bv some members of the senate to certain Dusiness enterprises. The editorial endorsement oi jns tow i as follows: "Welcome Bristow, as candidate for the United States senate from Kansas. As fourth assistant postmaster general. Bristow made much trouble and many enemies among those whose serenity he disturbed, but he did a needed work and did it without fear and without dis crimination. Moreover, his platform is mmlv clear and earnest. His de mands for tariff revision contain no olause about the next election. He thinks soma tariff charges should be made at this session1. He opposes the Aldrich bill and talks about the cur rency with more understanding than is nsnallv shown by statesmen. On other Hiihiects he is frank, liberal, and in telligent; and nobody will doubt that as a senator he would vote according to his convictions and be guided only by what hn believed to be tne general gooa Long's record does not call loudly for hi. re-election, and Senator Lodge's antipathy to Bristow is less relevant now than it was in tne pumuuico m xnKtlrations. Still, we shrink from any thing displeasing to Mr. Lodge, and we fDr orreatlv that the Republican boss of Massachusetts would by preference have Bristow remain in Kansas, a fact which Kansas should consiaer.

It was learn ed here today that a copy of the cipher of the American state department used in private correspondence between Washington and the various-American legations and embassies was stolen re cently from the American legation here by a French employe who suc ceeded in escaping to Constantinople. It is understood that this is the second time the American cipher has been obtained by strangers within the past few years. The previous occasion was at St. Petersburg, where spies secured photographic copies of the cipher from the American embassy. stoppedTpanic Captain of Burning Ship Uses Wireless Telegraph To Call Another Teasel to Take Off His Passengers. New York, March 13. Prompt and determined action on the part of Cap tain Appleby of the Fall River line steamer Providence prevented what otherwise might have been a serious catastrophe, when fire broke out on tne cralt while she was coming up Long Island sound bound fmm Prnvi. dence for New Tork early today. Three nuuureu ana nrty Dassenarers wpro asleep on the Providence when the fire was discovered on the freight deck of the steamer which then was off Sands .roint, lo miles from New Tork. Fear ing that if the alarm were nermitted to. spread over the ship he would have a panic oi passengers with which to contend as well as a fire to fight, the captain sent a wireless call to the steamer .rucnara .feck, of the same une, wnicn he knew must be some- wnere in tne vicinity. The Richard Peck was also bound for New Tork, and while she had not been sighted durlns: the nitrht it was known that her schedule would bring ner at tnat nour to a point within a lew miles of the Providence. The call was promptly answered, the predica ment, vl tne xroviaence was explained, each steamer was advised of the oth er's position and then they started toward each other. When they came together the fire was still in progress on the Providence, but the passengers who had been aroused a few minutes before had" been told of the coming relief and were quietly waiting to be transferred to the other steamer. The sea was calm and the transfer was made quickly and with little difficulty, The officers declare that there was not even a sign of uneasiness apparent among the passengers and that the whole affair was carried through with out trouble oi any kind. As soon as they were clear of the passengers the crew of the Providence gave their whole attention to fighting the nre, with the result that the names were quickly extinguished. The Richard Peck carried the Provi dence's passengers to the Fall River line dock in this city not more than half an hour late. The Providence when the fire was extinguished continued her trip to New York and reached her dock soon after the Richard Peck. The Providence was not badly damaged, the greatest injury being smoked wood work. FIRST FOR HUGHES. Delegates From One Missouri Dis trict Instructed for Him. St. Louis, March 13.

TO BRIBEJOBSON Alabama Congressman Testifies That Attempt Was Made In the Interest of the Electric Boat Company. GOOD PLACE FOR HIM. On Naral Committee Would Be Got From Cannon If He Stood Right on the Sub ject of Submarines. Washington. March iafh tjii.. submarine boat inquiry has begun In earnest by a special house committee. reseniative Ulley was heard at length. He began his "testimony by reading a long typewritten statement. afftrtit w,as n the nature of an affidavit, in which he outllned charges In detail. When he had com pleted this formal presentation, he was questioned at length by Representative Olmstead of the committee who was designated by Chairman Boutelle to perrorm that service- During the af ternoon session Representative Rich- mnn T tt v. xiuuBun testinea that he had been approached by a man representing the Electric Boat company, who told him that if he would support the olaims nf that nmraw-ww uciurs congress tne company could bring influence to bear uyjn Dpeaner cannon to have him (Hobson) appointed on the committee on naval affairs. In reply to one of Mr. Olmstead's questions Mr.' LI Hey said the Electric coat company nad no plant and no as sets. He declared that that company did not build boats, its only business being to secure contracts for boats and then sublet th6 contracts. Mr. Lilley gave the names of the Con necticut manufacturers and the attor ney who had asked him, according to his statement to vote for an appropria tion for submarine boat legislation. The manufacturers he eaid were Frank lin H. Taylor of Waterbury and A. M. Ferris of the Bridgeport Brass com pany; the attorney was John T. Kellogg of Waterbury. Mr. Lilley said it was his understand ing that there was an agreement be tween the electrlo boat company and Vickers Sons Maxim of England who are building English submarine boats, whereby all the improvements made by the Electric Boat company are turned over to the English company, but under which all of the improvements made by Vickers Sons Maxim are not given to the Electric company. A discussion arose between Mr. Olm stead and Mr. Lilley over that portion of Lilley's statementJrelating to news paper correspondents and the part they have taken in creating what Mr. Lilley termed a sentiment for submarines, particularly on the Pacific coast. "While," he said, "I have no direct testimony to offer on that subject I am. told that they (the Electric Boat com pany) have men to attend meetings of boards of trade, chambers of commerce, etc., and who get up in their meetings and make addresses on the unprepared ness of the Pacific coast and the fear that the Japanese will be over on the next boat and thus get resolutions passed instructing their congressmen to vote for a large number of submarines." Congressman Hobson testified to Lawrence Speer of New -Tork telling him last November the Electric Boat company could be able to help Hobson to get a place on naval committee if he "stood right on submarines," that It had influence with Speaker Cannon, Mr. Hobson said: "I told Mr. Speer that I did not want the influence that his company had and I made no promise to support any navai proposition he might have to offer." Mr. Hobson said that he had seen Mr. Speer since this conversation occurred and in reply to a question propounded by Mr. Littleton said that he and Mr. Speer had been classmates at Annapolis and that they had belonged to the same corps in the navy. Their relations had been cordial. Mr. Lilley was recalled. He was ques tioned by Mr. Olmstead regarding the statement he made, to the. .committee that he waB being shadowed by detec tives and was asked if they were hampering him in his work before the committee. "I have had a very large number of men shadowing me since the resolution was Introduced," said Mr. Lilley. "One man has been standing near my door dally in this office building and two more usually at the entrances. Fre quently I have run into three there. At the hotel there have never been less of I than three, so the house oetctive tens me. The detective stationed at tne house-of representatives says there have been at least six in there. I did not protest against this proceeding un til they began to shadow the members of my family and Major Sylvester, the chief of police here, told me he would have them arrested if I so desired." The committee adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning. FIGHT FOR WHISKY. Organization With Membership 200,000 Ia Formed. of Chicago, March 13.

New York, March 13. Three world's records were broken at the N. Y. A. C. games at Madison Square Garden. Forest Smlthson, the champion hurdler, formerly of Portland, Ore., twice beat the world's mark in the 70-yard high hurdle race, and the Twenty-third Regiment relay team hung up a new record In the 2,400 yard relay race. Smlthson captured his heat in eight and four-fifth seconds and won the final In nine seconds. The former record was nine and one-fifth seconds, made by Chase In 1894. Myers, Sedley and Bacon for the Brooklyn Regiment, cov ered the 2,400 yards In five minutes six and four-fifth seconds, beating the rec ord of five minutes eleven and tvo flfth seconds, made by the Irish-American Athletio club last year at Celtic Park by nearly five seconds. Matt McGrath broke the world's rec ord in throwing the 55-pound weight, tossing it 16 feet 8 inches and beating the record made by James Mitchell of 15 feet 7 Inches, in 1897. In the 70-yard hurdles it was expect ed that A. B. Shaw, of Dartmouth, would give Smlthson a close race. The crack western hurdler was In splendid form and topped the timber in his first trial heat 2-5 of a second below the world's record. Shaw was outclassed and failed to qualify. One of the prettiest races was be tween Harry Hlllman, of the N. Y. A. C, and Guy Haskins, formerly of Penn sylvania. The distance was iwo yaras. Both men got away well and ran a clean race. On the last quarter Hill man brought his famous spurt into play and breasted the tape barely two yaras ahead of Haskins. In the 1,000-yard invitation run'Mel vin Sheppard, of the Irish-American A. C, led the field, winning in 2 minutes 203-5 seconds- New Yorkers captured the Intercity relay race from Boston. Gotham was represented by Crockett, Kock, Sedley and Hlllman, all of the New York Ath letic club, and Foster, Rand, Seldin, WItcher, of Harvard university, repre sented Boston. Until the last relay neither side had gained an advantage. Hillman was anchor man for the local team and he romped away from his opponent and won easily by four yards. The Irish-American Athletic club won the two-mile club relay and Cor nell finished first in the one-mile race for colleges.

A Bight Thing Done in the Wrong Way. Characterization of President's Aetion by Trade Paper. REST BADLY NEEDED. Disquieting Methods at This Time Are Injurious. Other- Items of Interest in Railway Circles. den?? aitV.er raerlts :t the presl tti actlon ,n requesting the inter state commerce commission to investi-f-ToS tbe relations between the rail roads and their employes," says the in ew York Journal of Commerce edl- aIy' "tha "ensatlonal manner In which It has been done threatens to prove highly disturbing. A right thing pone xn a wrong way might in some instances be better left undone. With the best of intentions, but with strange unwisdom, Mr. Roosevelt too often se lects the most disquieting methods for accomplishing his ends. In this in stance he seems to entirely forget that his patient is now in a highly sensitive condition, and that repeated ice baths are not -the best sort of treatment for a patient that is already suffering from exhaustion and needs rest and noninterference more than anything else. The Inevitable effect of the presi dent's action will be to make labor more unwilling than ever to accept its share in the readjustment not be escaped after a. panic. It is not yet forgotten that the country is pass ing through a crisis brought on by gross extravagance in expenditures on account of both capital and living ex penses. In 190T prices rose to a pro hibitive height; credit collapsed; the panic came; enterprise stopped; con sumption declined; economy became imperative;- and In consequence costs of production In all lines of industry must now return to the normal In or der to permit of a healthy resumption of business. Such a course in due sea son means a reduced cost of living, which in turn would permit a decline in wages as the latter rose In pur chasing power. But labor leaders re- ruse to recognize the laws of business, and through their unions insist upon maintaining the old rate of wages; Ig noring the fact that since there is less work to be done when costs are pro hibitive, many hands must necessarily be thrown out of employment. Upon the unions themselves the responsibil ity for the large number of unemploy ed must be chiefly placed. Many of the idle have been literally forced out by their fellows who. holding their own jobs, refuse to share the work that could be had at moderate concessions. The unions, however, are- not the only ones working under such fallacious ideas. The great industrial trusts have also fallen -into the" delusion that the only way to recover from depression is to curtail production; encourage idleness; make business" as expensive as possiDie ana force the public to pay more than it can afford for what It gets. y "This is not the usual method by which the individuals or nations save money or accumulate wealth; but it Is one of the new doctrines that has been universally applied and has yet to work out Its evil consequences. Ap parently, we have drifted far away from the idea that the largest product possible at the best price possible Is better policy than the smallest product possible at the highest price possible. The facts concerning -the railroads could easily have been obtained in a manner less disturbing to confidence. Bach intelligent person understands that the railroads are financially in a strained condition, and compelled to vastly increase their facilities at a time when profits are diminishing and pro per financial arrangements are not easy of accomplishment. Owing to advances in wages, costs of operation have increased enormously, while earnings show a persistent decline. In November the roads reporting showed an increase of $4,800,000, or 3.6 per cent in gross earnings, but a fall of $6,900, 000, or 15 per cent In net earnings.

TEST SAFETY AFPXJAXCE ACT. Wabash Will Ask Ruling Prom Su preme Court. t .3 n ilolarmiTiA iii ct linn, far XII Uiun i the national government has a right to go in controlling rsuruaus aim pre scribing what safety appllcances must be used, the Wabash will seek a rul ing from the United States supreme court. The case to be carried up was orlgr nii (not i tntnrl In Snringfleld. 111., and in the opinion of the railroad: at torneys the question win uo una the most interesting that has been reviewed, especially in consideration of the nnes imposed on a number of the roads. In the beginning suits were brought by government inspectors for alleged violation of the safety appliance act. The defendant company allowed a Judgment of J10 and costs to be enter ed and gave notice of an appeal. The point at issue is whether congress has the right to say what sort of ap pliances are to be used on cars or switch, engines that are used only within the confines of a state. It Is contended that, if congress has a right to enact a law that controls switch engines and cars that are used only by local traffic that the question of governmental ownership or the control of railroads by the government is definitely settled, the law presumes the right of the government to state what sort of switches, frogs and bridges are to be used. Such an act, it is further argued, takes away from state legislatures all control over lines within the borders of the state, and that laws passed by congress would control. When the original safety appliance act was passed by congress in 189S it provided that all cars engaged In hauling interstate commerce should be equipped with air brakes and other appliances for the protection of employes.

"What chance do you think the Democrats have to carry the state in the next election?" was asked. "I believe that if the Republicans nominate W. R. Stubbs for governor, I can beat him," was Mr. Harrison's reply. Mr. Harrison called on Governor Hoch this morning, and made satis factory arrangements with the gover nor to escort him into office in case of his election. Mr. Harrison has not held many political offices, though he has long been an active participant in the Democratic conventions. Four years ago he was a candidate ror the legis lature in Smith county but the Popu lists nominated Webb McNall, and this split the fusion vote so that Lafe Linton, the Republican, was elected. READY TO BEGIN. Construction Company Chartered to Build Kansas City-Topeka Line. E. M. Lambkin, the promoter of the Kansas City Kansas Southwestern Electric railway, projected to be built from Kansas City to Topeka and from Lawrence to Independence, .has secur ed from the state of Kansas a char ter for the Marlam Construction com pany, of which the capital stock is $500,000, and on which a charter fee of $327.50 was paid to the state. The Marlam Construction company will build the line for the Kansas City Southwestern. and Mr. Lambkin stated to the charter board that It is the intention of the company to com mence work at once on the building of the road. The name of the new company is made up of three letters from the names of two of the principal promo ters of the new line J. E. Martin of Minneapolis, Minn., and E. M. Lamb kin of Kansas City. The others who sprar as incorporators are W. Li Moyer of New York, W. Laming of Tonganoxie, S. W. Brewster of Cha nute, H. E. Hopper of Indianola. Ia., and C. S. Dudley of Minneapolis, Minn. These are the same men who incor porated the Kansas City Kansas Southwestern. The railroad itself is incorporated for $10,000,000 and the company paid a char ter fee of $5,077. The fact that the backers of this project were willing to invest nearly $5,500 in charter fees Indicates that there is strong financial backing for the proposition. APPEALS TO POWERS. China Goes to Ftoreign Diplomats With Her Troubles. Pekin, March 13. There was a fur ther conference in this city today be tween Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to China, and Na Tung and Tuan Shih Kai. representing the Pekin government, over the Tatsu Maru in cident. No final understanding was reached and the discussion of the mat ter is to be continued. Baron Hayashi proposed that China pay the purchase price, something over $100,000, of the arms on board the Tatsu Maru if she insisted upon their retention, as well as demurrage for the time the vessel has been in the hands of the Chinese authorities. He insisted, however, that China re lease the steamer and that Chinese warships fire a salute to her flag in the presence of a Japanese consul. In consideration of this Japan would re linquish her claim for payment for the arms and leave the matter of the punishment of the officials who are re sponsible for the lowering of the Jap anese flag on the Tatsu Maru to the discretion of China. To the proposals China replied that ehe was willing to restore the vessel and incorporate an apology for the flag incident in the final settlement. China has presented her side of the case to the diplomatic representatives in Pekin of the several powers.

Methodist Conference Completes That Part of Work. The Kansas conference of the Methodist Episcopal church finished its task of selecting delegates to the quadrennial session of the general conference which meets in Baltimore, In May, this afternoon. Three of the delegates were selected at the meet ing held Thursday morning but the selection of the remaining delegate was left until this morning, when Dr. W. C. Hanson, presiding elder of the Clay Center district was elected to fill the place. At the meeting of the lay electoral conference held in the Congregational church today four delegates were se lected to represent that body at the meeting of the general conference. The complete delegation from the Kansas conference to the general con ference in Baltimore as selected to day and yesterday is as follows: From the general conference: J. T. McFar land, J. S. Ford of Kansas City; J. R. Madison of Manhattan and W. C. Hanson of Clay Center, elected at the meeting this morning. The laymen will be represented by C. D. Walker, Atchison;. Mrs. Flora Bechtel, Law rence; E. L. Knostman. Manhattan and C. B. Stemen of Kansas City, Kansas. Dr. L. H. Murlin, president of Baker university, Baldwin and J. F. Staveley of Junction City were se lected, as alternatives by the confer ence. W. S. Hensler of Junction City was elected chairman of the laymen's electoral conference which Is in ses sion at the First Congregational church, corner of Seventh and Harri son streets today and H. C. Rushmore of Kansas City, Kan., secretary. Churches Cater to Rich. During his talk delivered to the members of the Kansas conference at the Methodist church last night Dr. Henry J. Coker, field agent for the church extension board of the Meth odist church called attention to the fact that there is a tendency towards the centralization of church buildings. He pointed out the fact that there Is a growing tendency on the part of church organizations to shun the out Skirts when erecting new buildings and to locate them near the centers of the fashionable residence portion of the cities. "There is a constant trend toward the uptown districts on the part of our churches," said Dr. Coker. "They are being built where the cultured people live and where the population is In creasing the churches are decreasing. Where we are most needed we are most rare. "It is a noticeable fact that there are comparatively few laboring men In the average congregation of this day and age and a reason for that condition may be found in the centralization of our churches in the fashionable dis tricts of our cities. Many of this class of people and especially the men seem to have become estranged from the church of Jesus Christ and prejudiced and embittered against church life in general. "There is a condition bordering on real heathenism among this class of people and many of them are Just as far from God as though they were na tives of a foreign land. The fact that many of them are underfed, and under clothed and suffer from physical wants while the rich of the country throw awav their wealth on fine clothes and costly' banquets may have something to do with this condition which surely exists. "If there should come a slackness of work it would be but a short time until the conditions In this country would be such that the very bulwarks of our country would be threatened. There are many in this land of ours at this time who are depressed in mind, soul and heart and without a ray of hope. I do not think that this coun try needs a great army and navy to prevent invading armies from taking our land from us but there is an in sidious foe eating at our vitals which we should not consider too optimisti cally. "No nation is large enough to save Itself unless it is founded upon right eousness and unless it is a God-fearing and Christ-loving nation. And God to day insists that we shall take notice of these men of foreign countries who are pouring themselves Into this coun try." In closing his talk Dr. Coker asked the Kansas conference now in session for a $10,000 donation for the home missions and church extension board.

Sixth and .Quincy PAXTON PAXTON Sixth aid J Quincy FORGER AT 74. Colonel Ward Has Spent Many Years in Various Prisons. New York. March 13. Colonel Daniel S. Ward, who the police say has a long prison record, has been arrested and In addition to facing charges of passing forged checks amounting to $300 Is de tained on an old charge of forgery In Boston. Ward is one of the men who came to New York from the south in 1S64 and attempted to burn the city. The men set fire simultaneously to a number of hotels and public buildings, but the fires were all extinguished be fore much damage had been done. Two of the men were hanged, but Ward was allowed to go. Ward, the police say, began a career of crime shortly after the close of the civil war and since that time fully half his time has been spent in prison. The police records show that he was con victed in New York in 1885; in Cincin nati in 1888: in Kansas City in 1890; in Boston in 1895; In Indianapolis in 1898, and In Chicago in 1907. Ward is 74 years old but is still erect and soldierly in his bearing.

STHUTj LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon puDUcation in i.uie- The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur oe. Things are beginning; to look as though Charley Taft will replace Archie Roosevelt as the irrepressible loy of the White House. If Bob Evans' battleship fleet called at all the ports It has been invited to, Jt would not get back to Its home sta tion In the Atlantic in a' dozen years. All the poetry of privations is to be taken from the pilgrimages to Mecca. The Sultan of Turkey is going to build a railroad from Damascus to the Holy City of Mahomet. William E. Curtis, the expert pub licist, declares that the aged clerks In the employ of the government are in need of pensions and are as much en titled to government care as are army and navy employes. All encouragement should be given to the east side women who are agi tating the creation of a public park In that section of the town. A city can not have too many parks and the populous east side is in need of one and entitled to it. Mr. Eaton, the chief of police, Is the recipient of "black hand" threat. This is the second one that has made its appearance In Topeka within a week. It is time for the people of the town and their peace' officers to follow the example of those of other cities and organize a "white hand" society whose special duty it will be to amputate "the "black hand." From the weather that has pre vailed in these parts during the past few days it begins to. look as though spring had been given the go-by en tirely and that summer has taken its place. And speaking of the weather it might be pertinent to inquire what happened to winter. It never did get around here this year and to tell the truth It was not missed very much. Republicans of Peoria county, Il linois, held a convention the other day and endorsed the presidential candidacy of Speaker Cannon in a perfunctory sort of a way and with out a ripple of applause. But when the name of Taft was read as the sec ond choice in the event that Cannon would not run or could not get the nomination the convention went wild with enthusiasm. It is unnecessary to draw conclusions. Every likelihood exists that the suits, which have been brought by the rail roads to knock out the schedule of re duced freight rates which the railroad commissioners ordered to go into effect on April 1, will be carried to the United States supreme court. So it will be two years at least before the shippers en Joy the advantages of these rates pro vided the position of the railroad com mission is finally sustained. This Is not exceedingly encouraging. Every once in awhile Alton B. Parker makes known the fact that he Is still on earth by saying a word or two that gets into the newspapers. He delivered a speech in Philadelphia the other day during the course of which he described President Roose velt and his policies as a menace to the country and to its constitution. The people told Mr. Parker three years ago in emphatic terms just what they thought of him as compared with Mr. Roosevelt. It is no more than right that the government should reimburse the Southern Pacific railroad company for its large expenditures in repairing the break in the Colorado river which was responsible for the forming of the devastating Salton sea. Had not the Southern Pacific's action in this matter been prompt and thorough many lives might have been lost and much property permanently damaged in the Imperial "Valley of California. President Roosevelt is in favor of the payment of the Southern Pacific's claim, and this shows among other things that Mr. Roosevelt is prepared to do the square thing with even such an enemy as Mr. Harriman. Most of the recent dispatches from Washington on" the tariff question seem to indicate that neither at the present time or at any time when the complexion of congress is the same as it is now will a tariff revision com mission be created. The leaders are not disposed to have an expert board draft changes In the schedule. When It comes time to revise the Dingley act, which will not be until the next session of congress, the work will be doae exactly on the same lines have been followed In the past. The revision will be undertaken by the ways and means committee. This la an Indication that politics will play quite as big a part In the revision of the tariff as It always has. All of the members of the committee will see to It that the Industries In their own particular bailiwicks will be "protect ed" to the limit. IT LOOKS FAVORABLE. The supply of money continues to grow. Receipts and shipments of cur rency In the larger money markets in the land during the month of Febru ary show a continued excess of re ceipts. Take Chicago for instance. The excess for the months of Janu ary and February among the banks of that city was J 9,200,000, which is more than $3,000,000 greater than the excess for the corresponding months of last year. So it is all over the country in similar proportions. This money, it is certain, will And em ployment. At the same time a number of rail way and other enterprises have de clared the regular quarterly dividends ranging from one to two per cent. Statements of roads generally show heavy gross earnings though in sev eral instances the heavier operating expenses have cut down the profits. The announcement of large purchases of steel rails by some of the big western lines is taken as encouraging for more employment and a renewal of work by a good many hands laid off during the financial panic and the succeeding depression. The opening of mills has become the rule now and the number which have started up- in the iron regions as well as In the textile manufacturing districts of New England has been such as to cause widespread encour agement. The reports tell no longer of the closing down of such establish ments but the story is of resumption and re-employment of operatives. The number of wage earners who have been put to work during the past few weeks would include a total of many thousands. The products turned out under the renewed operations go to supply a demand throughout the country and so hey. Indicate a re newal of business In many lines and in many directions. The general tone in the business world is hopeful and the sentiment abounds that something better is coming. The east and the south are beginning to share this feeling with the west. A country of nearly 100,000,000 people can not rest from business ac tivity long without witnessing a de mand for its renewal with greater en ergy. The people thus come to the opening of the spring months with commerce awakening and with nature giving good encouragement for a year of abundant crops and fruits. In a short time everybody may be so busy that the pessimist can no longer get an audience. A PROHIBITION NEED. It is not strange that Senator Bacon of Georgia should have taken up the cudgels against the whisky people and prepared a bill calculated to put a stop to the shipping of intoxicants into pro hibition territory. An extract from re cent Atlanta correspondence to the Philadelphia North American throws much light upon the situation in his own state. It follows: "Here are some facts which show that during the first month prohibition has been tried in Georgia it has not been the failure that the liquor in terests predicted. "The police court of Atlanta had be fore it In January, 1907, 1,663 prisoners, S41 of them charged with drunkenness. January of 1908, the first month of pro hibition, saw 768 prisoners, of whom 64 were charged with intoxication. This is a decrease of 895 arrests under the new regime and of 277 arrests for in toxication, or more than 80 per cent less. On one morning Judge Broyles, the presiding magistrate, found not a case for his adjudication, and the rec ord of years was broken. 'Negroes who used to gather at the Decatur street drinking places before the new order of things are now con spicuous by their absence, and that thoroughfare at night is as quiet as a graveyard after dark. The effect of prohibition is noted at the retail shops, which cater for the needs of the ne groes. These places report better busi ness, prompter payment and larger sales. "One thing that has been brought out clearly Is the need of a national law prohibiting express companies from carrying rum into prohibition states and communities. When prohibition came a number of wholesale liquor dealers moved headquarters to Chat tanooga, across the Tennessee Btate line. These dealers are sending back word to their friends here that they never have done so much business as now. One express company has in creased Its force in Atlanta and has hired a vacant store, formerly a saloon, where It stores goods until delivered." the uifivERsrnr trade school. Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, told the alumni of the University of "Vermont at their recent annual dinner that the great trouble with American colleges was that they tended to load a man up with facts rather than to teach him how to use facts. The important thing in educa tion was, he said, the training of a man to use his mind intelligently, and hence effectively to make him into an effi cient grist mill for facts instead of a stuffed granary of them. "Knowing a given number of facts," he said, "is not education. We can buy a book for a dime that contains more facts than any man living or dead ever knew." Mr. Shaw's complaint Is an old one and doubtless contains a sound criti cism of some educational institutions. But the modern tendency in university education Is distinctly away from the granary idea, and it is contended by not a few thoughtful observers that the reaction is in danger of going too far. A. certain considerable amount of knowledge is essential to the useful working of the brain mill is, in fact a part of Its necessary machinery. And while it is true that facts are the most ubiquitous of things and may be picked up almost, anywhere, they vary so enor mously In practical value that it Is ab surd to lump them all together in one class. Experience has shown that it ia desirable to Impart certain of these facts to the boy before he begins his real work in the world. And it is just as easy to train his mind to grind well with these as with any other facts. A well equipped human mind must have a good mill, of course, but a well-filled granary of facts is equally important Mr. Shaw also took a shy at another but closely related phase of the uni versity problem. "We are," he declared, "making collegiate education too prac tical." The trade training school idea is more and more invading the un iversity. The idea of a liberal education Is being displaced by the demand for special training calculated to fit a man for special work. There is a place, and a very important place, for the trade school, the institution avowedly devot ed to training a man for a particular pursuit. But the certificate of attend ance at such an establishment should not be confused with the college or uni versity degree. There Is surely no dan ger in these days that material success will lose its popularity. But there does seem to be some danger that the ethical and social value of that more general knowledge ordinarily described as cul ture will be overlooked. JOURNAL ENTRIES Some folks' table manners ought to be perfectly good because they never use them. In most cases of love at first sight the second sight is not long coming after marriage. On hearing some singers one Is apt to think that they took lessons by means of a phonograph. This much can be said of a defunct bank. It generally gives its depositors a run for their money. About the worst financial panic that can occur is when a nickel rolls under a street car seat and seven women claim it. JAYHAWKER JOTS Junction City Is honking loudly for an automobile club. The Norwich city council is -threatening to pass an ordinance prohibiting Sunday baseball. Wichita's new directory "gives" the city 50,990 population, which is cer tainly very kind of the new directory. Lamed claims to have the largest number of automobiles per capita of any town in the state. It has one auto for every seventy Inhabitants. Citizens who do not belong to the Christian church at Towanda have pre sented the church -with a piano. It may be they got tired listening to an organ and bought the piano In self defense. A prisoner in the county Jail at Fre donia tried to overpower the sheriff and make his escape, but the officer smote him and sat o nhlm and kicked him through an iron door, and he con cluded to take off his bonnet and stay awhile. A Chanute man was called to his door at night and a message was handed him which read, "Beware! Black Hand." As the hand which pre sented the message was a slim white hand, the man was not frightened, but he succeeded in frightening a young lady, who was the messenger. A coroner's Jury at Newton, called to investigate the death of Mrs. Hilda Hester, found that she was shot by her husband, who was handling a gun carelessly, but without criminal intent. The jury also recommended that Mr. Hester be reprimanded by the coroner ana lectured by tne county attorney on the careless use of firearms. But all this will not help the late Mrs. Hes ter very much. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Common sense is very uncommon. It doesn't matter bow much in love a man is with his wife, he will for get to mall her letters. Because It suits you as well Is no sure indication that your opinion is es good as anybody else's. It seems to be the case that the man who has the least of anything else in the world, haa the most poli tics. We have noticed that when a woman speaks of an elderly friend she is apt to sayi: "She has had a great deal of trouble." Father gets the rocking chair be cause he demands it, but ever see Mother make the children get out of her rocker? When the cranberry is finally driven into exile, we demand that there walk arm in -arm with it, to be forgotten forever, that term "bosom friend." Take a girl of sixteen, cut off her hair, put a hundred, freckles on her face, let-her have a few fever sores on her mouth, and a red tan spot on the end of her nose, and you have a perfect picture of her younger brother. Every other man you meet an nounces that unless the people treat him a little better, he will leave town. Every man is appreciated for as much as he is worth. If you are not recog nized as much as you desire, it is your own fault. We should like to personally know a girl who does not complain to other girls of her mother, or a young man who believes his father treats him Just right. Parents think their chil dren very near perfect. It would be nice to meet children wno think their parents are Just right. An Ate-hison woman has a unique way of punishing her husband: When ever he says anything mean to her, she gets out all the old love letters he ever wrote to her, and compels him to listen while she reads them. It is believed that he Is the only man In town who knows his love letters by heart. There used to be an old-fasjiloned rule never to gossip in the presence of children. In these days of children knowing more about 'the faults of their neighbors than their parents know, children should be advised not to talk gossip in the presence of their parents. Oldfer people are quitting gossip as a poor sort of amusement -now let the children quit it. KANSAS COMMENT WILLIS' J1 BAILEY. The announcement of ex-Governor W. J. Bailey that he would not be a candidate for governor has made a lot of loyal friends heartsick for they had been planning a lovely political fight for theman they respected, ad mired and loved. At the same time they realize that his reasons are good and if they cannot honor him politi cally this year they do give him their continued confidence and esteem. To our mind Governor' Bailey had the nomination for governor as near cinched as can be done in politics. But he could not make the personal and business sacrifice of a five months' campaign. And, after all, public life in Kansas, where the air is continuously full of rocks, lemons and decayed vege tables, is not the kind that calls a man from the happiness of home and the pleasures of a prosperous business. Bailey is doubtless the most popu lar man in the Republican party in Kansas. There are more stalwart Republicans who would rather lose with Bailey than win with anybody else. The strength has come from the knowledge of every one that Bailey is alwavs honest and square, decent and capable, magnetic and wholesome. He likes an honest man, he hates a hypo crite, he speaks right out what he means and thinks. Althougn ne was defeated for renomination he Is the most popular man who has filled the governor's office in this generation and a majority of the people have always wanted to square themselves with their conscience by putting him back there. They would have done so this year if Bailey could have afforded it himself. They will do so in the future if oppor tunity offers. But if Bailey keeps up the bars on political office his friends can still rejoice that in office or out of office there is no bigger man in the hearts of the people of the state than Willis J. Bailey. HutchinBon News. THE BANS WAGON. Much is heard now about the Taft bandwagon and it does seem that peo ple are almost crowding each other in their eagerness to declare for Taft. Men known to have opposed him until recently are now among the loudest Taft declalmers. It may be that they are really for Taft, and it is to be hooed that such is the case, as there is little doubt that he Is the choice of the rank and file of the Republican party for the presidency. Meanwhile, however, the Democrats over the coun try are trying to start a bandwagon of their own and are endorsing Bryan as fast as they can hold meetings. In the accounts of such meetings it will be noticed that only men known to be favorable to Bryan are permitted to stand as delegates, and they are then Instructed for Bryan. It might be well for the Republicans to be equally cau tious. Men who are known to be Taft men should be sent to the convention. Added to this they should be Instruct ed to vote unceasingly for Taft. But the one precaution which should be exercised, and the only one that really counts, Is the choosing of men known to be Taft supporters, for delegates to the national convention. Salina Jour nal. FROM OTHER-PENS N MEN FOR WALL STREET. Conflicting 'reports continue con cerning the possible resignation of Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou and of his probable acceptance of a position at the bead of one of the big financial institutions of New York. Mr. Cortelyou may remain in Presi dent Roosevelt's cabinet, but it is ac cepted as a certainty that he can be come identified' with one of the many financial interests of Wall street whenever he may desire to do so. While the country may spend mora or less valuable time discussing what shall be done with ex-presidents of the nation, there is no longer any worry over the future of ex-secre-taries of the treasury. They go to New York and into the banking busi ness. It has not been explained why men who have served as secretary of the treasury are in such great demand by the financial institutions of Wall street, but the fact remains that they are. Secretary Windom went from the treasury department to the head of a big financial institution in New York. Secretary Falrchild became president of the New York Security and Trust company. Secretary Gage became president of a national bank of New York. Assistant Secretary Ailes is vice president of the Riggs National bank of Washington, repre senting New York interests. Frank Vanderllp went from the treasury de partment to the Cityi National bank of New York. James H. Eckels went from the treasury department to the presidency, of a Chicago national bank and Charles G. Dawes followed him. Leslie M. Shaw left the treas ury portfolio to become head of the Carnegie Trust company of New York and George E. Roberts, director of mint, resigned to become president of a Chicago national bank. Omaha Bee. MACEDONIA AND RAILROADS. The Austro-Hungarlan government wishes to build a short stretch of rail road across Turkish territory so as to connect Its system of roads with the line whose eastern terminus is Salonlcal on the Aegean Sea. It is reported that it has got permission. The Russian government would like to get a con cession for a road across Turkish ter ritory from some point on the Danube to one of the Montenegrin ports on the Adriatic. Each of these roads is econ omically desirable, and probably both would have been built before this If na tional rivalry and grand politics did not have so much to do with railroad con struction anywhere in the Turkish em pire. The impression prevails that five years ago, when the Russian govern ment and that of Austria-Hungary set tled on the details of a plan to be sub mitted to the porte for the reform of conditions In Macedonia, they agreed that neither should ask for railroad concessions without consulting the oth er. This agreement, it is alleged, the Austro-Hungarian government has broken, and it is feared that this will put an -end to Macedonian reforms. Nothing could be more pleasing to the sultan, who was resented the attempts of other powers to compel him to adopt measures calculated to restore peace in Macedonia, but nothing could be more disastrous for its wretched inhabitants. The sultan is a master of political strategy. The demonstrations of his soldiers on the Persian frontier were followed by preparations by Russia for the dispatch of an army there. It is possible to see In the grant of a covet ed railroad concession to Austria-. Hungary an answer to the Russian move. If the sultan could succeed in estranging his two neighbors and put ting an end to their programme for Macedonia, he would be well pleased. Chicago Tribuna. BABY.

Geographer Hard to Down. Dr. A. Szielasko, a German, has Just illustrated the fact that the enthusias tic geographer trained in the German school is very hard to suppress. He comes up serenely after an accident that does not comnletelv disable him and begins to look around for scraps of knowledge. A while ago Dr. Szielasko went out on the Norwegian steamer Fridtjof Nan- sen, which was bound for Antarctic waters on a whaling cruise. He took an exploring outfit, including sounding apparatus, for he hoped to bring new facts to light about the sea floor. He also Intended to make a special study or Antarctic birds. In about two months the first Antarc tic land came into view. It was the is land of South Georgia, south of the At lantic, two-thirds as large as Long Island. The vessel was nearing Cape ueorge wnen it struck a hidden rock, and in six minutes after the bumo it disappeared beneath the waves and the crew was making for land in two small Doats. They saved nothlne. excentth!rlivea Fortunately an Argentine whaling sta tion in uumDerland Bay was able to ieea tne crew until they had an oppor tunity to leave the island. The explorer had lost his entire out fit, but on the very day of landing he maae the best scientific ex ploration he eould under the circum stances of Cumberland Bav. He be gan by ascertaining the height of the big hills that enclose the bav. With bits of timber he fashioned a ruae sort of Instrument for taking ang les, and then by pacing he got an ap proximate idea of the horizontal dis tances Ire must measure to use with his angles in a mathematical determine.. tlon of the height of the mountain tops above sea level. He first tried the wooden instrument and paced distances on two or three summits whose heights na-a Deen ascertained, and was happy to find that he had hit upon a rather ciose approximation of the truth. So he went on measuring- the hehrhts not only of the mountains, but also of the valleys and the broad platforms between them till he had made a chart snowing the land forms, their heights above the sea and their relation to one another around the bier bav. Ha fol. lowed up little streams, mapping their courses. -inere 'were' seven great glaciers which he did not have time to explore for their entire length, but he traced them for several miles, map ped their moraines, gave them and conferred the same blessing upon the other prominent features of the bay ana coasxs. Then he studied the geology of the r- gion, made many notes on its birds and other forms of life, and zealouslv em ployed every waking hour to acquire au tne racts to be had by Intelligent seeking. Ha put in thirty days of the hardest kind of work before a ship hove in sight, and took the party to South America, whence they sailed for nome. Dr. Szielasko's map and literary ma terial proved to be so excellent that they have been reproduced in Peter mann's Mlttellungen, the most scien tific of all geographical publications. The map appears in six colors, five of which show the different levels of land above the sea. New York Sun. Up to Prof. Willis Moore. can even the shrewdest weather man that ever lived tell us whet tarts storms?" asked Dr. (1 T Broadhead, of Portland. Me., at th Hotel Kern an. "I've addressed that query to some of the highest scientists of the country area nave never yet received any sat isfactory answer. "We know that they do start some where, but the origin of the disturb ances is a mystery. Generally speak ing, our blizzards and bad spells have their beginnings in the frozen regions of, the north far up in the Alaskan wilds or maybe from the north pole itself. Lately, however, this rule has been broken, as one or two of the fiercest storms of the season began in Oklahoma ana blew with terrific fury across a wide expanse of country, un til they vanished in the Atlantic. It seems to me that Prof. Willis Moore or some of his assistant weather sharps at Washington ought after years of study to tell, the people, in plain English, ana without a lot of meteorological rubbish, what is it that really causes old Boreas and old Ju piter Pluvius to get on such terrible rackets." Baltimore American. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Jealousy and reason are not on speaking terms. A friend in need clings to you for all you are worth. The real test of a song's popularity is the parody. When used as a cloak, religion is a misfit on most people. Men flatter merely to protect them selves from women who flirt. Seasons come and the seasons go but the gas meter goes on forever. About the only person an apology satisfies is the one who makes it. Man wants but little here below that is. he wants a little more than he can get. Money makes the mare go, but it doesn't always make her go under the wire first. If a man tells a woman she is hMMitlful she will overlook most of the other lies he tells her. Did you ever buy anything that proved to be better than the person who sold It said it was? Better stick -to the straight and? narrow path even if the scenery is less attractive than that along the other route.

The princess stamped her foot as en ergetically, as any ordinary person would have done. "There's no earthly use being born a princess," she said, "I want my own way occasionally and I never get it." The minister raised both eyebrows. "But, your highness, I was sent to rea son with you."- "There's no reason in it," she flashed back, "there's anything but reason In my being trotted out like a horse to be inspected by this conceited person merely because he's decided to marry i" "To think of the son of so powerful a throne being called a person!" the min ister's eyes shone through his glasses, blankly dismayed. The princess shrugged her shoulders in a noncommittal way, then she seized the minister by both lapels and contin ued her argument. "O minister who is not plenipotentiary, if you feel too bad ly about not being able to reason with me remember even Napoleon failed once, and maybe you two will go down into history together. As for reason the princess snapped her slender fingers disrespectfully close to the min. Ister's nose, and left the room and the man. The sudden indisposition of the prin cess was an unexpected detail in the preparations for receiving the royal visitor, who arrived the next day. She awoke when the first sunrise crept over the sky, yawning from the weariness of having spent twenty-four hours trying to be still. The gilt clock showed that there were at least two hours before the palace would awake. She crept but of bed and dressed stealthily, threw a light wrap over her shoulders and went through the door that led from her apartments to the rose garden. She went swiftly toward the summer house that was her favorite retreat. She stopped on the threshold and stared at the young man compla cently smoking a cigar on her own pet bench. He hurriedly threw away the cigar and bowed low before her. "Good morn ing," he said, and the princess noticed the charm of his voice. "I scarcely ex pected any one else to be awake so early in the day. I hope I'm not tres passing." The princess was startled, but deter mined, at the expense of veracity, to keep the household from learning that the condition of her throat was not so serious as the physician had vouched for. "I didn't er expect to find any one here, myself," hedging for time to ere ate Ideas. "The fact is. I have been awake almost all night attending the er princess, and when she at last slept I slipped into the rose garden to be refreshed by the early morning air." She looked charmingly confused, and the man, evidently a most polite young fellow, declared his intention to leave her in undisputed possession of the rose garden. But the princess was fond enough of an adventure to sweep away a few conventionalities in order to ex perience the unusual. "No no, by all means remain seated. sir." she said, seating herself on a neighboring bench. "I am not so selfish, nor indeed so unsociable. I judge, sir, that you are connected with our royal visitor's retinue? The man hesisated, then smiled gen ally- -v "Yes, you are right I generally, al ways In fact, accompany the prince in his travels. "Then tell me about him," she broke in eagerly, "I shall not be able to get a glimpse of him while he is here and I must own to a certain amount of cu riosity concerning him." "Upon one condition," he leaned toward her, evidently struck with an idea, "that you tell me about the Prin cess Constancia." "A bargain!" she cried, and her eyes smiled again; "you take first turn. Tou are a visitor, you know." He puckered his forehead in a thought. f ul frown. "He's rather a good-natured chap," he said at last doubtfully. "Pooh! Of course he Is, always has his own way and is never crossed in it, I haven't a doubt," she scoffed. "There's where you are wrong," he said, energetically. "The king has as strong a will aa er as the prince has and they are eternally clashing. She traded her first bit of information with every indication of pride in it. "Strong will! The combined powers of both your king and your prince couldn't equal that of our princess. And temper! You never saw any one witn such a fiendish temper," she whispered confidentially- "So bad as that?" feebly. "I we heard that she was quite charming." "Oh! I don't deny that she is rather nice to look at, but she she has boxed my ears several times," .beginning to take a delight in her creative imagina tion. He leaned forward and grasped the arms of the bench, tense with indigna tion. "And you have to submit to it! Tou poor little thing!" his eyes full of com miseration and admiration. The princess put on the first meekly submissive air mortal man had ever seen her wear. "What could I do?" plaintively. "There are times when she Is really nice to me." "There's one thing certain." he broke in vehemently, "such a vixen would not make a desirable wife for the prince." "I don't know that he's too good for her," she said defensively, "I don't care much for the prince he's too conceited." "I beg your pardon!" he exclaimed in astonishment. "I never heard how on earth you get such an idea into your head?" he demanded. 'Doean t he go irom one country to another expecting all girls of suitable age and birth to be trotted out for his inspection, just like selecting a neck tie?" indignantly. "If I were a prin cess I would positively enjoy having him a3k me to marry him!" He could not take his gaze from the flushed, piquant face. "If I were a prince I should be broken-hearted if you treated my proposal with such scorn." he said fervently. The princess rose nurrieaiy. "I think I must see if the princess needs me." "Won't you tell me your name," h asked, standing with his head uncov ered "and that I am to have the pleasure of seeing you later in the day?" x I am airaia mui uuv, one torwi "and Dlease. please ao not men tion that you have met any one here.

Her curiosity could no longer be restrained, and the minister, having always proved wax in her hands, could k Induced to tell all he knew about the late visitors. While talking her glance fell upon a small photograph lying on tha table before her. Her eyes widened and her breath came faster. "Who's that?" she demanded eager ly, stopping the minister m tha mid dle of what he considered a well chosen remark. "Don't you know?" he asked In astonishment. "I believe it is, though, the first photograph taken with a full beard it's the prince, your highness and he graciously put his signature on it for me." The princess took the picture In her hand, looked at it Intently, then gave way to a peal of hysterioal laughter which caused the old man to lean over her anxiously, "Shall I ring for one of the maids, your highness?" he asked her per plexedly. The princess sat up and wiped her eyes on a dainty lace handkerchief. "No no don't ring. I never felt betetr in my life. I have an inspira tion. I don't want to have a marriage arranged for me there's no romance in such procedure. If you will only leave me free until after the regatta I promise to arrange for myself a iv.ow CCI DUUi III the country.

Omaha, Neb., March 13. Without a voice of dissent the candidacy of Wil liam H. Taft for president of the United States was endorsed by the Re publican state convention of Nebraska and a solid delegation for the secretary will go to Chicago instructed to vote for his nomination first, last and all the time. It was a Taft convention from start to finish, despite talk of a division, and when the question of selecting delegates at large came up for con sideration the slated delegation Gov ernor Sheldon, Senator Norris Brown, "Victor Rosewater and Judge Allen W. Field of Lincoln, went through with a rush. The Second and Sixth districts held o RHEUMATISM The aches and pains of Rheumatism are only symptoms which may be Scattered or. relieved with liniments, plasters, blisters, etc., or quieted with opiates. As soon, however, as the treatment is left off or there is any exposure to dampness or cold, or an attack of indigestion, or other physical irregularity, the aggravating pains, swollen joints and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he has merely checked the symptoms, while the real cause remained in the blood. Rheumatism is due to a too acid condition of the blood, brought on by indigestion, chronic constipation, weak kidneys,, and a general sluggish condition of the system. This acid circulating in the blood produces the pains, aches, and other disagreeable symptoms of .Rheumatism. S. S. S., a purely vegetable remedy, cores Rheumatism by going down into the circulation and driving out the cause and making this life-stream pure, rich and healthy. When the blood has been cleansed of the irritating, pain-producing acids by S. S.

Tony Donahue, an Omaha labor leader, who was a delegate to the district convention, made a formal protest against the candidacy of Wil liam H. Taft. He addressed the con vention briefly, saying that he repre sented five thousand voters in the Sec ond district who were unalterably op posed to Secretary Taft, and asked that himself and fifteen other delegates be placed on record as opposed to send ing a delegation to Chicago instructed for the war secretary. Donahue was heard respectfully, but the convention took no action and the matter was not brought to the attention of the state body. Denver Public Buildings Threatened. Denver, March 13. Governor Buch tel has received an anonymous lette in which the writer threatens to de stroy the federal building and the city hall in this city unless something is done to relieve the condition of the unemployed in Denver within the next 48 hours.

Although the gov ernor did not appear to take the threat seriously, it is said that extra precau tions will be taken to keep suspicious characters out of the capltol and other public buildings.

The company has submitted to con gress a claim for $1,600,000 as the por tion of the expense that ought to be borne by the United States.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTJRNAL--FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1908. 6 SEEN INREAL LIFE Mrs. Patrick Campbell Yisited by a Reporter. Famous Actress Still Coddles Pinky Panky Poo. CAN NOT UNDERSTAND. Coldness of Topeka Audience a Surprise to Her. Doesn't Like Travelling and One Night Stands. "Yes, yes, of course! I know! It's very sad harrowing the ending and no one could help feeling sorry- for that poor Paula. But you mustn't cry, dear, really you mustn't. Because, you know, it's not real and I'm not Paula, truly, but just myself, as you see. So don't be unhappy, about it, although, of course, I love to know that I could make It so real to you that you do feel sorry. But you mustn't cry any more, my dear." Thus, Mrs. Patrick Campbell to an emotional young woman of the Sob Squad who had gone up in tears and a frenzy of admiration to see her in her dressing room after the last act of "The Secondr Mrs. Tanqueray" at the Grand last night. And the great English actress patted her visitor soothingly on the cheek and put one arm around her shoulders while her maid fluttered about with "Ohs" and "Aha" of cooing sympathy. "But tell me," Mrs. Campbell went on when her caller's tears had ceased to flow, "you were out in front, were you not? tell me if the people had never seen this play before?" "No," her visitor told her, "the play had never been given in Topeka until tonight." "And they didn't like it," said Mrs. Campbell in a tone of conviction but with a question in her eyes. "You thought the house cold?"' the visitor asked. "No, oh, no," replied the Paula Tan queray of a few moments before. "I wouldn't say that yes, perhaps, a lit tle, but they were very nice. They seemed very nice. But I didn't know, exactly. Sometimes, you know, when they have not seen this play and the story is unfamiliar to them, it shocks them. Do you think they were shock ed tonight?" The visitor thought not, vehemently. If there was little applause, she thought, Judging the rest of the audi ence by herself, it was because it was o good because they were overcome by the horror and the pity of it. One is in no mood for an ovation when one has Just heard that a wretchedly un happy woman, whom one has learned to love and to pity through four acts as real as life, has killed herself. This theory seemed to cheer Mrs. Campbell Immensely. "I'm so ""lad," she said, "I thought they might be shocked. The play Is not pleasant but no one could help feeling sorry for Paula. And her husband is such an ass! He doesn't understand her at all. I wish, though, you could have seen my daughter as Ellean. She is perfect In it. This young woman, the under study, is very good, of course, but Stella is wonderful in the part and makes the play so much more inter esting. And she is so beautiful! I am sorry she couldn't go on tonight. No, I don't think she is seriously ill just a slight Indisposition. She isn't strong, you know, and this traveling is ter rible, terrible! One catches such colds in the sleeping cars and ie hotels! It is impossible to aet any thing one can eat. I think she will be better in a day or two, but I regret so much you couldnt see her hero. "We were so disappointed today my daughter, especially because we couldn't find any Indians. They told us that when we got to Kansas we should see Indians and we took a carriage this afternoon and the man said he thought he could find us Borne Indians and we drove a long way and when we reached the place well, there weren't any. It was too bad. But we had a beautiful drive and it was a lovely day. We went shopping, too. We were in a number of your shops and bought a hat and some other things. We thought the shops very nice, but we were sorry about the Indians. "Won't you look at my dear dog? Yes, this is Pinky Panky Poo. Oh, you had heard she had died? Yes, she was very ill and there were all those silly newspaper stories that she had died. But here she is seventeen years old, poor old thing, and perfect ly blind!" And she pointed to a(tlny French griffon lying on a silken cush ion on a chair near the dressing table a withered, weazened, ridiculously little old poodle, but none other than the celebrated Pinky Panky Poo. Mrs. Campbell and her company go from .here to Albuquerque, N. M., where they give "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" Saturday night. When she was informed that she could And plenty of Indians near Albu querque, Mrs. Campbell was delighted and said they would take a carriage immediately they arrived and go on another quest of the Red Man. "If my duaghter can find some In dian blankets and jewelry she will be happy," said Mrs. Campbell. "She dressed herself up the other day in a blanket In anticipation of the Indians she was to see in Kansas. Isn't it strange we heard so much about the Indians in Kansas, when you haven't any at all?" This is Mrs. Campbell's first tour of the American "provinces." She has visited the Pacific coast but never be fore made the one night stands. The season has been a disastrous one finan cially in theatrical circles in New York and many of the best companies have been forced out on the road by poor business in the metropolis. On this point Arthur Ruhl writing in Collier's "Weekly says: N In order to see Mrs. Patrick- Camp bell one must, apparently, go into the wilderness. For six short days earlier in the season Mrs. Campbell revealed to New York her personal loveliness, her repertoire of unhappy modern la dies, and her quiet art. One rejoiced especially in the accomplished cynic ism and irony of her Magda, a part specially suited to her quiet, sophisti cated key. Then she disappeared Into the provinces to earn money for her managers something which, appar ently, she can not, or is not allowed to, do here. Mysteriously she crept in to town again, and at the lonely Gar den presented Herr von Hofmann Btahl's much talked of "Electra." That must have been unusually Interesting. One critical gentleman told me that it was wonderful in the way it repro duced the old spirit of Greek tragedy; another that it was wonderful in its perverted un-Qreekness, its decadent, flesh-Jabbing thrills like those in "Salome;" but when I tried to see it, something was the matter with Mrs Campbell's larynx. The night before something was permitted to happen to the stage manager, there was nobody Hi oliomo 0 Woman n rp If fl ft 11 LAHIBnA mb n ru ill in Receives Hundreds of Requests Daily.

More than a million women have ac cepted this generous offer, and as Mrs. Miller is still receiving requests from thou sands of women from all carts of the world, who have not yet used the remedy, she has decided to continue the offer for a whllo longer, at least.

WILL TALK STATE FAIR. Important Meeting of the Commercial Club Tonight. TOPEKA SEES MRS. PAT. And the Verdict as a Whole Is De cidedly Favorable. Mrs- Patrick Campbell has been hail ed by many as the foremost Knglish speaking actress on the stage of today. Maybe she is. And assuredly, it would not be quite proper for a writer of the atrical affairs in a town where the ap pearances of really great actors and actresses are few and far between to gainsay this. But one thing is certain. She did not rouse the unusually large audience which gathered at the Grand last night to see her in "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," to any marked de gree of enthusiasm.' This audience was decidedly representative of the intel ligence of the city, an intelligence, the acumen of which will compare favora bly with that found in any city- of lta size in the country. But perhaps Mrs. Campbell's greatness as an actress can not be appreciated until she has been seen a half dozen times or so as is evi denced by the fact that a second and third thought of her work is much more satisfactory to her reputation than the first one. But whether Mrs. Campbell is the greatest English-speaking actress in the world, it matters not. She unques tionably is a wonderful actress, a real ly remarkable one. She is remarkable because she is so unusual. All of the parts that she essays and in which she has made her greatest successes are highly emotional ones. If her work as "Paula" in "The Second Mrs. Tan query" can be taken as a criterion of her playing in all parts she is an emo tional actress of an original type. Her emotion is repressed to a surprising de gree. And in this there is marvelous charm. She accomplishes her points with a subtllity of contrivance that is peculiarly her own; an art to which all other actresses are strangers. It is a wonderful art but it is not one to sway strange audiences with. Where Mrs. Campbell is most won derful, probably, is in the exquisite reading of her lines, in her diction and her elocution. She has a rich, a mellow voice, a voice of wide range. In ex tended passages her words flow with the seductive babble of a brook as It courses merrily along its pebbly way. Sentences follow sentences in mellif uous cadences until one is enthralled with rapture, until one is under a sort of a spell and it may be that because of this spell one forgets to applaud. Mrs. Campbell seemed to be in a happy mood last night and put her all into her work, and while there may have been not a few In the audience who were dis appointed the great majority will be forced to say, on thinking the matter over, that Mrs. Campbell is an actress of astonishingly rare attainments at tainments that are peculiarly her own. Except for the unusually fine work of Mr. Ben Webster as "Aubrey Tan queray," Mrs. Campbell's support last night could not be called better than fair. He? daughter. Miss Stella Camp bell, who plays the important role of "Ellean," was Indisposed and her part was taken by an understudy who did not seem equal to its requirements, although it must be said that it is a particularly hard part to play. But then the cast did not need to be espec ially wonderful as there is not a whole lot for It to do. Mrs. Campbell's clothes were radiant as were the gowns of the other women in the play and the stag ing of the piece was effective. A for the play well, about everyone who Is at all interested in theatricals is familiar with it and has his or her own opinions as to the propriety of the dis cussion of such problems as it presents through the medium of the theater. There are a good many problems in the play and many of them are not solved by its conclusion. One of the most perplexing of them is this: If "Paula," she with a wayward past, considers herself good enough to be come the wife of Mr. Tanqueray and he also considers her good enough to be elevated to the station of his wife, why do they consider one of the companions of her wayward days not good enough to be the husband of Mr. Tanqueray's daughter, even though she be a most saintly girl? "The weather used to be in four acts. ap.TlB-. summer, autumn and winter Vell?" "But now nature seems to have gone in to vaudeville." Kansas City Journal!!. The time of the regular meeting of the members of the Commercial club will be largely taken up this evening in devising plans for the success of the state fair which will be held in Topeka this fall. The Commercial club is back o fa proposition to raise a fund of $10,000 which will be added'to an other of $25,000 which will be raised by a special levy made for the purpose by the board of county commissioners. This money will be used in erecting additional buildings and financing the proposition and if the fair proves self supporting and there is no doubt that it will, the $10,000 fund, which it is expected will be raised from among the business men of the county will be returned and for that reason amounts to no more than a loan. A "state wide state fair" is to be the slogan of the Commercial club and there is no doubt as to the success of the undertaking now that it 'has been placed on a business basis. To peka has one of the finest fair grounds in the state and the location is admir able for all purposes. There are a number of stables on the property and several exhibition buildings and the expenditures for new buildings will not be large the first year. A spur of the Santa Fe extends far enough into the grounds to make it possible to unload racing and show stock as well as exhibits inside the fair ground en closure. The pipe oragn fund proposition will also be considered at this time and plans arranged for raising funds to pay off the indebtedness which is standing against the big pipe organ in the Auditorium. The invitation sent out by A. B. Poole, secretary of the club, is broad and sweeping and whether you are a member of the Commercial club or have received one of these in vitations you will be welcomed to the meeting which is to be held this evening. TELLS HER STORY. Von Hagen Girl Kecites Her Rela tions With Raymond Hitchcock. New York. March 13. Helen Von Hagen, one of the three young girls who brought charges against Ray mond Hitchcock the. actor, told her story before as large a crowd as ever filled the supreme court room at the Thaw trial. Flora. Whitson and Elsie Voecks, the other girls, were brought into the room for identification. But there was a great difference between the commonplace little Von Hagen girl and the fascinating Evelyn Thaw, and this little girl's story had none of the dramatic elements that gripped the hearers'of Evelyn's testi mony. Helen Von1 Hagen said that she willingly accompanied Hitchcock on motor rides to his home at Great Neck and on visits to the room he rented in Forty-first street. She vol untarily brought 1 the other two to meet him. she said. The girl was nervous and weeping at the vital part of her story. She spoke in a very low voice that did not carry even to the J-urors. Her answers had to be read aloud to them. At other times, though, she talked with the composure of s, much older wom an. She is a few months short of 17. She could scarcely;-' he called pretty, but because of the''youthful piquancy of her features, she might be termed fairly good looking. She wore a dark red picture hat anJ a red cloak, whloh Just reached the bottom of her skirts, and they did not extend quite to her shoe tops. The girl said she first met Hitch aock in front of the theater in which he was playing in September,! .1906. She was wheeling, a baby carriage when he spoke to her and asked if she would like to take a ride in his motor car. She said she would have to ask her mother, and her mother refused permission;! A few nights later Bhe and her chum, Elsie Voecks, again met the actor, she said), and this time accepted his Invitation to go to Great Neck for dinner. He enter tained them by playing- and singing for them. They 'Visited the house again and remained over night. Court adjourned with the Von Hagen girl still on the stand.

This I have derived largely from that excellent little booklet, 'The Road to Wellville,' which I have largely adopted as my faithful guide in matters pertaining to eating, exercise and health in gen eral. "On first reading the booklet I was struck with its plain-common use and moreover found that it was in har mony with physiology and psychology so far as I had learned them in my study of these subjects at college. "For at least ten years before I be gan to eat Grape-Nuts, I had been ac customed to eating freely of fried meats, white bread, biscuits and what not, with resultant headaches, some dizziness and an appetite that was capricious and uncertain. All this too, seemed to affect my brain and nervous system, for, while engaged in study I found it hard to concentrate my thoughts. "I could think "very well for a lit tle while, but soon grew restless and inattentive. Nor can I emphasize too much the change that I have brought about by adopting rational habits in food and exercise.

Mr. Broad was a pioneer In the mis sion work of the Congregational church in Kansas. He came to Kansas in 1878 after having spent several years in missionary work in other states. After coming to this state he accept ed a call as pastor of the First Con gregational church at Paola, which was then one of the leading churches in the state. He continued In this pas torate for six years. In 18S4. Mr. Broad was elected state evangelist for the Congregational churches of the state. He held this position but a short time, however, until he was called to the position of superintendent of home missions In Kansas. It vaa In the work of this position that Mr. Broad became connected with Topeka as he maintained his head quarters in this city. The position of superintendent of home missions is the highest position in the Congregational church in this state, as it gives a general oversight over the work of all the churches in the state. Mr. Broad's work in this connection was a potent factor in the upbuilding of the Congre gational churches. He was held In the highest respect and admiration throughout the entire state for the work which he had done to further the interests of his church. Probably the most noticeable achieve ment during the career of Mr. Broad in Kansas was the segregation of the work of the Kansas Home Missionary society from the work of the national organization. For many years the work of the Congregational church in Kan sas was supported by eastern benefac tors. It was Mr. Broad's highest am bition to place the work of the church In Kansas upon a self-supporting basis and this ambition was realized Va couple of years before his departure from the state. Now the Congregation al church In Kansas receives no out side aid whatever except in the form of benefactions for tha two Congre gational schools of the state, Wash burn and Fairmount. In 1900 Mr. Broad resigned his posi tion In Kansas and accepted a posi tion as field worker with the National vuiiaic8""" ety.

T. Cooper, a comparatively young man, lias built up an immense following (Turing the past year. Cooper has visited most of the lead ing cities of the country, and in each city has aroused a storm of discussion about his beliefs and his medicines. Wherever he has gone, people have called upon him by tens or thousands, and his preparations has sold in im mense quantities. The sale of this medicine has now spread over the entire country, and is growing enormously each day. In view of this, the following statements from two of the great number of followers which he now has, are of general in terest. Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 St. Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the fol lowing to say on the subject of the Cooper preparations: "For more than ten years I was broken down in health. I could not sleep and I was very nervous. Gradually I began to lose my memory, until I could not re member things from one day to an other I had severe pains and cramps In my body, and I would at times see dark spots before my eyes.

Instructions to the Jury in Pennsyl vania Graft Case. Harrisburg, Pa., March 13. The capitol conspiracy case in which John Sanderson, a Philadelphia furniture dealer and contractor,, former Auditor General W. P. Snyder; former State Treasurer W. L. Matthues and James M. Shumaker, former superintendent of the board of grounds and buildings, are charged with defrauding the state in furnishing the capitol, was given to the Jury today. The arguments were concluded today and Judge Kunkel gave final Instructions to the Jurors, who have patiently listened to testi mony and speeches since January 27. The present case constituted one of the longest Jury trials in the history of Pennsylvania courts and it attracted much attention throughout the state. The prosecution of the alleged capitol frauds is the indirect-: outcome of the great political upheaval, in Philadel phia, in 1905, which, resulted in the fall of that year in the election of W. H. Berry, a Demoorat, to the office of state treasurer. After Berry took of fioe he startled the people of the state by charging that the books of the state treasury showed that the capitol Instead of costing $4,000,000 had act ually cost $13,000,000. A legislative investigation followed and the findings of the investigators were to the effect that great frauds were committed in the furnishing and decorating of the building. The case was laid before the attorney general who begfri pro ceedings which resulted in the indict ment of fourteen persons. After the case of the four defend ants now before the court has been disposed of, the prosecution of the others will be taken up. The. state al leges that the frauds in the furnishings and the decorating of the capitol ag gregated nearly $5,000,000. The Jury retired at 12:19 p. m. The Judge's charge lasted one hour and 19 minutes and was regarded by lawyers who heard it as favorable to the prose cution. MR. STEWART IS HERE.

8 Topeka's a Joke More than statewide in the matter of has-beens and back numbers in Men's and Boys' Clothing.- For years out of town people have hesitated to come to Topeka to make their purchases in the clothing lines simply because it has been the policy of the local clothiers to push last season's styles and fabrics long af ter all the surrounding towns show the new season's productions. EVEN NOW Our competitors are still advertising and pushing last year's suits and top coats and boasting that after trying to sell winter suits and overcoats for the past five months as $20.00, $22.50 $25.00, $30.00 and $35.00 values every week reduced to $9.75 and $12.50 and 'operating perpetual Clearance Sales and Odds and Ends Sales since the day after Christmas. They, now claim that their stock of left overs is larger than any other Topeka cloth iers new stock is at the beginning of the season and we can only imagine what an enormous pile of junk and plunder that means for our competitors to still unload on the public. WE DON'T ENVY The local merchants who really boast, and no doubt truthfully, in their adver tisements that they can show this week a larger stock in "odds and ends" and "left overs" than any other clothing store in Topeka can show in total stock at the beginning of any season and this is one' of the reasons why good dressers from out of town have for years passed up Topeka as a clothing mar ket and a reason why for years the best trade in Topeka was obliged to go to K. C., Lawrence, Ottawa, Emporia, Overbrook or some other town to get up-to-date clothes. Our store has affected the desired relief and by Jan. 31, of each year you see on display in this fastest growing clothing store in Kansas all the newest creations for the season just the same styles and fabrics the other Topeka clothiers will show you six months later when they are off style and can be purchased for a song Patronize an up-to-date store.

They were taken into custody after it was dis covered that Wilson had a certified check for (1,000 drawn on the Shaw mutt (Mass.) National bank and signed "Curtis H. Guild." It was learned also that a check for $500 drawn on a Denver bank had been deposited In the Crocker National bank in this city. Wilson had other check books, in cluding those of some of the most prominent men of Massachusetts. The woman, who has attracted con siderable attention at the fashionable hostelry where they have been stay ing, by her magnificent gowns and tier beauty, told the police that she married Wilson a year ago after a courtship of thirty days; that she was a stenographer in the superior court at Boston before her marriage and was related to a member of Gover nor Guild's staff. Wilson had secured an option on the Lick hotel furnishings for $1,000 and was In other ways evidently try ing to establish a credit In this city.

Testimony Being Taken in Ouster Suits at Wichita. Wichita, Kan., March 18. Testi mony of thirty dealers and harvester machinery dealers was taken Thurs day in ouster proceedings against the International Harvester Company of America. The suit was brought to prevent It from doing business in the state. The evidence Is being taken before Judge Gauze of the supreme court of Burlington, who is a commissioner ap pointed by the state to take the testi mony. Earl Evans represents the Harvester company and Assistant At torney General C. C. Coleman is here for the state. The dealers testified that they are now paying less for their machinery and supplies than they did before the International Harvester company was organized. The farmers testified that they are getting better and quicker servfce than they did before the organization. If the ouster proceedings prevail the house at Wichita will be closed. It employs sixty people and ships ma chinery to all points in the state. The International Harvester company has branches at Topeka, Hutchinson, Con cordia, Salina and Parsons. The es tablishment of these houses makes it possible to ship goods in carload lots thereby saving a great deal of freight by selling to the farmer and dealers. Heretofore It was necessary to send to Kansas City for machines and re pairs. It will require two days to complete the taking of testimony. It will take four weeks yet to complete testimony after which a decision will be ren dered. Testimony will be taken next at Parsons. Important Labor Conference. New York, March 18.

"Is there no appeal?" these were the only words spoken by Giuseppe Alia when in formed by Interpreter Matter that the jury found him guilty of murder In the first degree .and fixed sentence at death. Just eighteen days after firing the shot which brought death to Father Francis Leo Heinrichs, at the altar in St. Elizabeth's Catholic church, while in the act of administering the holy sacrament, this waif from Italy, an al leged but not proven anarchist, heard his doom. When the jury had been polled the judge thanked them for having done their duty and expressed his approval of the verdict. Attorney Wlddicombe, for the defendant, made a motion for a new trial and was granted five days in which to file papers. The prisoner was then ordered to be returned to the county Jail pending this motion and the famous murder trial, which had lasted only three and a half days, was over. Under the laws of this state. Alia can not be hanged within sixty days of the rendering of the verdict. FIRE ON FARM LANDS. Flames Sweep Over 700 Acres Near Holton Doing Much Damage. Holton, Kan., March IS. Fire, which started late Thursday and lasted until 10 o'clock at night, de vasted 700 acres of prairie and farm lands ten miles southwest of this city. High winds fanned the flames and made it almost impossible to check the fire. Farmer H. Uhlo perhaps suffered the most damage. His house and barn, including some young cat tle, machinery and harness, was des troyed. N. H. Riley was hauling a load of hay to his home when the flames swept down on him destroying the hay and wagon and burning the horses beyond recovery.

Philadelphia, March 13. With the returning wave of prosperity the United States mint In this city, has again become a golden beehive of in dustry. Throughout the week employes who had been laid off have been receiving notifications to resume their posts and yesterday a full force was at work, aggregating about 550 persons. It was stated at the mint that this renewel of activity was due to fresh orders from Washington for im mediate coinage. Leading these or ders was one for $10,000,000 more in $20 gold coins. This, it was said, would probably be followed by still another order for the same number of pieces. In addition, there will be a heavy coinage of silver and copper. B. O. Resumes Work.

They Are Believed to Sow the Seeds of Anarchy. Chicago, March 18. John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and other rear admirals of industry will have their epaulets of office respected hereafter in Chicago vaudeville thea ters. Mayor Busse has decreed that Blur ring Imitations of such men as Rocke feller and Carnegie should be stopped. In order to reduce to a minimum the repeated criticism of the men of wealth by the anarchistic element. Accordingly a quiet "tip" has gone out, through the offices of the po lice department, to the managers of vaudeville houses, that It would be well to stop the class of vaudeville acts suggested. It also is probable that a letter will issue from the office of the corpora tion counsel to the representatives of the various theaters calling to their attention the fact that there is much unrest among many of the people of tne city ana that such sketches give rise to open criticism. POLITICAL GOSSIP. tContlnued from Page One.) as a "corporation man. The friends of Long claim that he has been the backbone of the Roosevelt administra tion; that he discovered Taft; lnduoed the president to accept him as his logical successor, and then proceeded to bring the whole country to his way of thinking. "These assertions by the senator's friends in connection with his own speech at the state convention, where in he showed what tremendous influ ence he had with his colleagues in the senate, indicate that Mr. Long is a man of overwhelming influence in the nation. It is unfortunate that the sen ator nas not used his great power and prestige to ao a rew Important things for the people of Kansas. He has been in congress for about fourteen years. During all of that time Kansas wheat growers have been paying the trans portation companies for hauling their wheat to Kansas City whether it was taken there or not. To illustrate: "For years the rate on wheat from Wellington, Wichita, Great Bend, Hutchinson, McPherson, Salina and all other towns in the wheat growing belt to Galveston has been the rate from Kansas City to Galveston plus the local rate from these points to Kansas City. Wheat shipped from any of these towns.-to -Galveston is never hauled to Kansas City, but goes direct to Galveston from 'the point of ship, merit Tet the people have been com pelled -to pay for hauling that wheat to Kansas City. If Kansas wheat growers had been given the Kansas City to Galveston rate, which from every point of Justice and equity they ought to have had, the prioe of wheat would have been from 7 to 10 cents a bushel higher since a deep water harbor wah established at Galveston. Since Senator Long first entered con gress the wheat growers of Kansad have paid millions of dollars to the transportation companies for a ser vice that was never rendered and fjr which the ralroads gave them abso lutely nothing in return. ''During the fourteen years of Sena tor Long's service he has never made the slightest effort to remedy this evil and relieve the farmers of Kan sas from paying this iniquitous and unjust tribute to the railroads. He not only has failed to relieve the people from this injustice, but has voted against measures that sought to bring them relief. "The senator claims to be the in vincible champion of Roosevelt, yet he has opposed the measures in con gress which the president wants en acted. The president in his messages and public speeches has many times declared in favor of limiting the amount of the stocks and bonds that railroads and public service corpora tions may issue, but Senator Long has mvariaoiy voted against these meas ures that sought to place such re strictions. The president has also de clared In favor of giving the Inter state Commerce -commission authority and means to ascertain the actual value of railways. Tet Senator Long has voted against every proposition of this kind that has been before the senate. "The senator in his speeches and interview seems to b very much for the president, but very much against him when it comes to supporting in the senate the things which the presi dent stands for.- It is one thing to praise Roosevelt for political purposes and another thing to support his measures in congress In an effective way." The decision of the Populists in their mass convention Thursday to place a full state, congressional and national ticket in the field and make an active campaign for the election of all officers meant that there was considerable work ahead for the chairman, and on this ground Chairman George W. Hanna tendered his resignation, and H. B. Hewitt of Stafford county was elected to succeed him. Chairman Hanna has been the back bone of Populism in Kansas for many years. He is a man of great ability, and one of the most affable, tactful men in the state of Kansas. When the Clay county Populists voted to go out of business and ally themselves with the Democrats, Mr. Hanna was left out on a limb. He is an admirer of Roose velt, and will object to the plan of be ing swallowed by Democracy. In his speech to the Populists yesterday, Mr. Hanna said: "I believe that the last message of President Roosevelt was the greatest message ever written by any president of the United States in the history of this country." .-.i- Mr. Hanna said, that he could not con tinue to act as chairman of the com mittee because of the fact that all his spare time is taken, .up in fighting the battle for municipal ownership in Clay Center, of which city he is mayor, elect ed by common consent of Republicans, Democrats and Populists. H. B. Hewitt, the new chairman of the committee, is in the mercantile business, and is a young :and enter prising man. He will make as good a leader as the Populists could find for their "forlorn hope." Henry Allen is rlolnir ii Us H. B. Miller into the race for gover ns, in me wicnita iteacon Mr. Allen prints the following editorial: "It now seems likelv tha tj w-.ia,,vi jlo.. B. Miller of Osage county, will enter mo KuoeniaLunai race, une candidacy of Senator Miller, will be very formi dable to Stubbs. Senator Miller is an original square dealer, has always worked with Stubbs and he has a fol lowing in eastern Kansas equal, if not superior to that of Mr. Stubbs. Mr. Miller is an n!d jxnTAi o farm.. stockman, and has been prominent as a nepuoucan ior many years. His son, Clyde W. Miller, is secretary of the Republican state central committee, and has been in charge of Mr. Stubbs' organization for two or three years. He knows better than anyone else the strength and weakness of- Mr. Stubbs, and the fact that he is advising his father to run for governor indicates that he does not believe Mr. Stubbs is going to win. Cyrus Leland says that Taft -will be easily nominated for president, and that It will be all over by May 1. "You will see," said Mr. Leland, "all of our middle western states declare for Taft, and then the Pacific coast. I look for New Jersey to do the same. If this is done one or two New England states will get in because those Yan kees are great for getting into the band wagon. It's going to be as much of a 'cake walk' as was the McKlnley cam paign for the nomination." TODAY'S MARKET KEFOKTS Chicago. March 13.

A burglar hunt which began with a policeman shooting at a fleeing robber In the fashionable district in the vicinity of Sixty-fdftn. street and Park avenue, early today, ended with the officer risking his own life on the tracks in the New York tunnel to save that of the hunted man. The alleged robber narrowly escaped death under a rapidly moving train, but he had been so severely hurt by jump ing into the tunnel in an effort to escape his pursuers that he was taken to a hospital instead of to a prison cell. A policeman who was passing the Palacio apartments at Park avenue and Sixty-fifth street early this morning heard suspicious sounds in the stair way. When he reached the bottom of the stairway a figure darted past him and started down" the avenue at top speed. The fugitive darted into a tun nel opening in Park avenue and plunged through to the tracks, 30 feet below. An automobile with a powerful search light came upon the avenue. It was halted by the policeman, the search light was turned down through the opening and the man was seen lying across the tracks at the bottom of the pit. The automobile towing rope was low ered through the opening and a police man clambered down just in time .to drag the man from the track before a train whizzed past. The man, uncon scious, was hoisted out of the tunnel and taken to a hospital, where it was found he was not dangerously wounded. In the stairway where the man was first seen the policeman found e. shop ping bag containing 85 pieces of silver which had been tajcen rrom u apart ment.

Baker Vnivrrsity Orator Mnst Face a Serious Accusation. McPhersoi, Kan.. March IS. Har vey Smith, the Baker university stu dent, who was awarded first place In the Prohibition league" oratorical con- SATURDAY CANDY Per Pound. F. A. SNOW 523 Kansas Avenue test held here last Friday, March 6, will have to faoe a charge of pla giarism which is of such a severe na ture that It may place him entirely out of the contest. The charges will be preferred by the Prohibition league of McPherson college, which it is stated, holds the proof. The oration by which Harvey Smith won first place in the state league contest is largely copied after a lecture written and delivered many times by Ewin S. Chapman, D. D.. I L. D., and entitled "The Stainless Flag." In fact sentences and para graphs correspond word for word. It happened that while two Mc Pherson college students were spend ing their vacation in California, they were attracted to one of Dr. Chap man's lectures and were so Impressed with the address that each bought a copy of the speech, as it was of fered for sale in the pamphlet form. When the contesting orations for the State Prohibition league were first published, one of the McPherson col lege boys thought he noticed a simi larity between Smith's oration and an address he had heard before. He thought very little of it, however, until he heard the oration delivered at the opera house. The emphasis given on parts of it and' the manner ism then recalled., so clearly the ad dress by Dr. Chapman that the young man decided to find the pamphlet. His search was rewarded, and after a comparison of the two addresses, he was confident that parts of Smith's oration were taken bodily from Dr. Chapman's address. He reported the matter to other members of the league and a formal charge was at once decided upon. Congratulations for Admiral Evans. Washington, March 13.

New York Congressman Blames tne President for the Panic. Washington, March 13. Denunciation was heaped upon President Roosevelt in the house of representatives by Mr. Willett (N. T.) today. Mr. Willett In sisted that the distressing effects of the panic of 1907 still were being felt. "There seems to be," he said, "a con spiracy of silence on the part of the Republican members of the house on the subject of the cause and effect of the panic." Those members, he declared, were afraid to attack the president for fear of his "big stick." The president, he said, "was reaping the reward of his own reckless misconduct.'.' He referred to s "the imperialistic methods' of the president as evidenced by "the discharge of whole companies of American soldiers without trial, with out proof of guilt," and said It sounded "more like the edict of an African chieftain or Russian despot than the command of an American president.' Mr. Willett charged that President Roosevelt had done more than all other presidents and all other public men in the history of the country to shake the confidence of the people in our form of government and has done more than any one man in our nation's history to destroy legitimate business, shatter confidence among the people and bring utter panic into every counting room, factory, shop, office and home in the land and has exhibited a greater de gree of self consciousness and egotism which are the natural results of power and flattery than any president who has occupied the White House." "Nevertheless," he said, "the clarion tongues, of the great Republican party are silent, the people's rights may be trampled upon, but party interests must be protected." He characterized the president "as that great central deity, and said that if the usurpa tions of the president passed unchal lenged by the people they would Boon create the force of precedent. "Now is the time," he exclaimed, "and we are the people to watch with Jealousy such beginnings, to indignantly attaok them and if possible to destroy them. In conclusion, he said: "Remove the cause of the unrest. silence the ceaseless, senseless clamor for spectacular effect on the part of the man in the White House and quiet wil be restored.".;.

Our superb showing of $3.50 Oxfords includes all the popular shades of Brown The Big SHOE STORE TWO Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Loomis have ask ed guests for an informal dinner to night at their house in Potwin. m A young West Fifth street matron is entertaining an old college chum and they have made a rule to speak nothing but French during her visit. This not only gives them an opportunity to brush up their French but also to "rough neck" the hostess' husband who dosn't understand French. Dr. and Mrs. F. N. Lynch gave a dinner last night for the following guests here attending the Methodist conference: Bishop and Mrs. William F. McDowell of Chicago, Dr. and Mrs. J. T. ftlcFarland of New York, Dr. and Mrs. L. H. Murlin of Baldwin, -Governor and Mrs. E. W. Hoch, Dr. C. C. Cissell of Kansas City, Dr. Scott of Atchison, Mrs. Lllliam Mitchner of Baldwin, Miss Ella Watson of Lincoln, Nebraska, Dr. Henry J. Coker of Kan sas City and Mrs. W. M. Runyan of Baldwin. There Is some disappointment be cause Mrs. Patrick Campbell who made a tour of the Topeka shops yesterday didn't dress up for the parade. She wore a shabby skirt, no gloves, a fur wrap open at the top and showing a throat left bare by a Dutch-neck gown and a long flowing green veil badly torn. Petticoat Lane was really shocked. Mr. Harry Woodruff who comes to Topeka in BrWn of Harvard on St. Patrick's day will give a box party for the members of the Washburn Dramatic club who on the following Friday pre sent J. M. Barrie's charming comedy The Professor's Love Story at the Grand. The Professor's Love Story is one of the prettiest and cleverest of modern plays. Mr. Barrie wrote it for Mr. E. S. Willard, one of the best of English actors who still retains it in his repertoire. The story is a charming one and the play Is full of clever dia logue and amusing situations. The characters are all admirably drawn and It has two of the best low comedy parts that were ever written. Although it is to be produced here by amateurs it will be worth the while of any one who has not seen the play to attend the per formance because the' Washburn Dra matic club is very good as amateurs go and the young actorines have been carefully coached by experts for this occasion. Anyway if there's any truth In the theory that "The Play's the thing" this will be a performance worth seeing for K is safe to say no better play has been produced in Topeka this season. e Mrs. Edwin Locke entertained in formally this afternoon at her home for the women who are here to attend the Methodist conference. The 'Varsity club will give a dance tonight at McRae's. Mrs. L. L. Goodwin gave a box party at the Novelty yesterday afternoon fol lowed by a luncheon at Mills' tea room. In compliment to Mrs. J. T.

Ludwlg Katterfeld, the orator who Turn Your Face Into Dollars Many a Man Has Failed Because His Face Was a Picture of Calamity. It takes sunshine to produce a rose, a perfect rose. And so man, to be successful, must have sunshine in side. The life which has it not. which has no health and no happi ness, is sour, surly, pessimistic, and a failure. The world already has too many vinegar faces that breathe ill will and strife. The world wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has it. who radiates gladness and triumph wherever ha is and under all circumstances. Some people have a genius for seeking out the disagreeable, the crooked, the bad and the ugly. These art the destroyers; they travel in schools, they herd together for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will have nothing to do with them. And why "Is it that so many peddle disaster knowing at the same time that if they do, their lives will be ruined? Some people cannot help it, for pessimism usually comes from bodily disorders, and this cannot al ways be prevented. The stomach, for Instance, is the most common cause of discontent, sour face, recklessness, drtsgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach, there is the secret of many a failure. Anyone can have a good stomach, a strong stomach, a stomach that can take care of anything and everything that Is put into it, no mat ter whether it is a very bad stomach now or not.

WOMEN AT FORTY IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVIXG THE HEALTH AT THAT TIME. Proof of One Case in Which a Weak, Nervous and Discouraged Woman Was Marvelously Helped by the Tonic Treatment. Women approach their fortieth year with worry and uncertainty, for the manner in which they pass that crisis determines the health of their after-life. During this most Important time in the life of a woman, her whole aim should be to build up and strengthen her sys tem to meet the unusual demands upon It. Devotion to family should not lead to neglect of self but hard work and household cares and worries should be avoided as far as possible. Whether she is able to do this or not, no woman should fail to take the tonic treatment if. she is entering this critical period In a weak, run-down and nervous condi tion. A tonic medicine is one that builds up the blood and, for this pur pose, the experience of thousands of women has shown that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have no equal. Mrs. Martha Dennis, of 823 West Cedar street, Kalamazoo, Mich., is one who owes her health to this treatment. She says: "I suffered for a year with weakness, enduring pains which almost made me frantic. My kidneys were weak, I had pains In my lions and back and could hardly stoop over or lift anything. My liver was torpid and my complexion and the whites of my eyes yellow. I had palpitation of the heart, my limbs ached and I had severe headaches. I was troubled with chills, followed by fevers, and would have to go to bed. I could not rest at night and was unable to remember anything. I was weak, irritable, nervous and discouraged. "After several months of suffering I was advised by a friend to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills and the benefit I re ceived from the first few boxes was remarkable. I was cured much sooner than I hoped and have been in good health ever since." Drowsiness, a feeling of heaviness, pain in the front of the head, nausea and even vomiting, dizziness, faintness, hot flashes followed by chills and pro fuse perspiration are some of the signs that Indicate the need of tonic treat ment as the change approaches. If this is your condition you should not watt another day before giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. The best proof of their merit is what they have actually done for others. Our booklet "Plain Talks to Women" gives proof of the help given in many such cases, and much other valuable information for suffering women. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. will represent Washburn college In the state contest at Banna tonight, left yesterday for Sauna. Several Wash burn students left at noon to witness the contest. The best act at the Majestic this week Is that of the Otora ohildren. who are miniature Japanese acrobats of the highest order, some of the stunts which they pull oft are excep tionally aimcuit. There were 15 delegates present at the Populist state meeting which was held in this city yesterday which leads to the suggestion that the meeting should have been held three weeks' la ter, on the 1st of April. E. R. B. Remley has been granted a permit to erect a dwelling at 617 Home street to cost $1,200 and J. E. Batman has been granted a permit for the erection of a dwelling at 705 isranner street to cost ti.uuu. Eight of the twelve delegates to the state Populist convention which met in Topeka yesterday were accredited to Shawnee county and this number does not include the three newspaper report ers who helped to swell the attendance. County Attorney John J. Schenck left for Excelsior Springs, Mo., yester day where he will recuperate for a few days preparatory to taking up the duties imposed by the grand jury which convenes Monday morning at the court house. Two pairs of white swans have been ordered for Topeka's parks. One pair will be given the freedom of the three lakes In Central park, while the other pair will be assigned to Gage park. A. B. Quinton of the park board is re sponsible for their purchase. The city central committee has de cided that it will be about the right thing to do to refund $47 of the fifty dollar assessments paid by the candi dates for city council and all but one dollar of the assessments paid by the members of the school board. A .number of the merchants of the city are advertising eggs at 15 cents a dozen, though the price of butter which is supposed to be governed to some extent by the same conditions which have caused a drop in the price of egs:s commands tne regulation win ter price. Although not nearly as warm, today is a much pleasanter day than yes terday. The mercury is several degrees lower which removes the languid feel ing from Topekans. Besides a light shower fell this morning which settled the dust, which was so disagreeable yesterday. Thirty-seven cases of chickenpox were reported to the city health au thorities! dnrlne last month, fourteen of diphtheria, fifteen of scarlet fever.three of smallpox, four of measles and one of typhoid, though not a single death occurred from, any of the diseases enumerated. Governor Hoch has accepted an invitation to make the Memorial day address at Gardiner, Johnson county. Gardiner has a rule that there shall be no levity or unseemly sporting events such as baseball and athletic contests as a feature of the Memorial day celebration.

A three days' convention of the young people of the Seven Day Adven tist church, confer of Fifth street and Western avenue, convened this morn ing. Three meetings will be held Sat urday and a morning and afternoon me'eting Sunday -which It is expected will be attended by a number of out of town delegates. There will be a bier meeting at the Commercial club tonight at which the 7 9 state fair proposition will come up for a good deal of the discussion of the meeting. The soliciting committee has met with good success and the plans for holding the fair and pushing the work to this end will probably be completed tonight. Those who frequent the local base ball park and walk out along the street car tracks are finding some of the bridges pretty hard to cross. In several places the ties have rotted away and many of those which are left are so decayed as to be unsafe to step on. These conditions apply especially to the bridge over the Shunganunga. It is almost impossible to walk around in the resident portions of the city without being apprehended by a solicitor who tries to induce the un wary to give him subscriptions for a Topeka newspaper, offering to throw in a clock as an extra inducement. A State Journal reporter was stopped three times in one afternoon recently by these solicitors. J. B. Shane, a former Lawrence photographer, who shot Edward Katherman, a 12-year-old boy in 1902, has applied to Governor Hoch for a pardon from the penitentiary. Shane was an eccentric old man, who was subjected to much teasing by boys. He became very angry one day and shot Katherman, though it developed that Katherman had no part In the annoy ances complained of by Shane. The street railway company shoal take some measures to Improve the conditions of their track between To. pern ana me oaseDaii park. On Madl- t son street there is a stretch of track where the pavement is being torn tin which is practically unsafe. The ties rest on the surface of the ground and should a rain happen along the track would be In pretty bad condition. Grand Da Now. J-fc vSnt'. of pennv? vwrut jack two cents. Philadelphia, Inquire.
