Indignation Is Expressed at Supreme Court Ruling. TpiiE PARTY IN POWEK Will B? Held Responsible for Future Inaction. Cannon and Fairbanks Reply With Implied Promises. Washington, March 20. Speaker Cannon and Vice President Fairbanks have announced their belief that the present congress will pass an em ployers' liability act which will meet and overcome the unconstitutionality of the present law pointed out by the upreme court of the United States In a recent decision. These statements were made unre servedly by Speaker Cannon and guardedly by the vice president to a delegation led by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, from eighty-seven national and international trade ana labor or ganizations and farmers' organizations assembled in a national conference in this city. The delegation called on the speaker to lay before the house of representatives through- him a me morial entitled "Labor's protest to congress." The scope of this me morial was set forth in the following opening paragraphs: "We, the official representatives of the national and international trade and labor unions and organizations of farmers, appear before congress to voice the earnest and emphatic pro test of the workers of the country against the indifference, if not actual hostility which congress has shown to ward the reasonable and righteous measures proposed by the workers for the safeguarding of their rights and interests. In the N'ame of 'Labor. "In the name of labor we now urge upon congress the necessity for im mediate action for relief from the most grave and momentous situation which has ever confronted the working people of this country. This crisis ha been brought about by the application by the supreme court of the United States of the Sherman anti-trust law to the workers both in organization and in their individual capacities. "Labor and the people generally look askance at the invasion of the court upon the prerogatives of the law making and executive departments of our government. "The workers feel that congress Itself must share our chagrin and sense of injustice when the courts ex hibit an utter disregard for the real intent and purpose of laws enacted to safeguard and protect the workers in the exercise of their normal activities. There is something ominous in the Ironic manner in which the courts guarantee to workers: "The right to be maimed and killed without liability to the employer. "The right to be discharged for be longing to a union. "The right to work as many hours as employers please and under any conditions which they may Impose. "Labor is justly indignant at the be stowal or guaranteeing of the worth less and academic "rights' by the courts, which in the same breath deny and forbid to the workers the practical and necessary protection of laws which define and safeguard their rights and liberties and the exercise of them in dividually or in association." Not Intended by Congress. The "protest," submitted by Mr. Gom pers and his associates, J. Valentine, eighth vice president of the American Federation of Labor; W. R. Fairley of the United Mine Workers of America; C. M. Barnett of the American Society of Equity; W. D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Street and Electric railway employes, and P. J. McArdle of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, refers to the supreme court decision In the hatters' case as the most recent perversion of the intent of a law by the Judiciary, by which the Sherman anti-trust law has been made to apply to labor, al though it was an accepted fact that congress did not intend the law to so apply and might even have specifically exempted labor, but for the fear that the supreme court might construe such an affirmative provision to be uncon stitutional. "The workers," says the memorial, "earnestly urge congress to co-operate with them in the upbuilding and educating of a public sentiment which will confine the Judiciary to its proper functions, which is certainly not that of placing a construction upon a law the very opposite of the plain intent of congress, thus rendering worthless even the very moderate efforts which con gress has so far put forth to define the status of the most important and numerous and patriotic of our people the wage workers, the producers of all wealth. "We favor enactment of laws which shall restrict the jurisdiction of courts of equity to property and property rights, and shall so define property and property rights that neither direct ly nor indirectly shall there be held to be any property or property rights in the labor of labor power of any per son or persons." The feeling of restless apprehension with which the workers view the apathy of congress is accentuated by the recent decision of the supreme court. Wrongful Application. By the wrongful application of the injunction the lower courts have for bidden the right of free press and free speech and the supreme court in the hatters' case, while not directly prohibiting the exercise of these rights, yet so applies the Sherman law to labor that acts involving the use of free press and free speech and hitherto assumed to be lawful, now become evidence upon which triple damages may be collected and fine and imprisonment added as a part of tha penalty. The memorial submits to congress for consideration two amendatory provisions in substance as follows: "That nothing in said act (Sherman antitrust law) or in this act Is intend-' ed nor shall any provision thereof hereafter be enforced so as to apply to organization or association not for profit and without capital stock, nor FRIDAY EVENING. to the members of such organization or associations. "That nothing in said act (Sherman antitrust law) or in this act is in tended or shall any provision thereof hereafter be enforced so as to apply to any arrangements or combinations among persons engaged in agriculture or horticulture made with a view of enhancing the price of their own agri cultural or horticultural products." Congress is informed in the memo rial that additionally "the most im portant measures which labor urges are: The Pearre bill to regulate and limit the issuance of injunctions; the employers' liability bill; the bill ex tending the application of the eight hour law to all government employes and those employed on work for the government by contractors or sub contractors. "We come to congress," says the memorial, "hoping for a prompt and adequate remedy for the grievances of which we justly complain. The psychological moment has arrived for a total change of governmental policy toward the workers. Will Hold Party Responsible. "While no member of congress or party can evade or avoid his or their own individual or party share of re sponsibility, we aver that the party in power must 'and will by labor and its sympathizers, be held primarily re sponsible for the failure to give the prompt, full and effective congres sional relief we know to be within its power. "The repression of right and na tural activities is bound to finally break forth in violent form of pro test, especially among the more ignorant of the people who will feel great bitterness if denied the con sideration they have a right to expect at the hands of congress." Responding to the presentation of the memorial, by Mr. Gompers, Speaker Cannon, in part, said: "I speak as a representative and not for congress. It is proper for me to say, touching your reference to the employers' liability bill or law, that I am of the belief as I move about and come in contact with mem bers of the house that there has been no time since the delivery of the opinion of the court in the case re ferred to when there has been a sentiment, I should say well nigh uni versal in the house to enact such an employers' liability bill the original of which originated in the house and which has recently been construed by the court in conformity with the opinion of the court as will give a remedy to employes for injuries, tak ing care, so far as congress or the house may be able to do so, that the act that may be enacted is so framed that it will be sustained by the courts. I can not tell Just when, because with respect to the 15,000 bills that have already been introduced and referred to the appropriate committee in the orderly transaction of busi ness the house as any other deliber ative body, they must await the ac tion of the committee, and yet I apprehend and am convinced that af ter full consideration there will be action on that bill by the house and possibly or probably so far as I know and believe by the senate." The delegation called on the Tiee. president at 6:30 o'clock. Mr. Gompers introduced his asso ciates and explained briefly the pur pose of the visit. Mr. Fairbanks read the statement of grievances where upon the vice president responded as follows: "Your position is clearly and strongly presented. I will see that 1t is brought to the attention of the sen ate as you desire at the earliest mo ment possible. Speaking personally I hope and believe that congress will be disposed to give to the important subjects you have called to its atten tion that consideration which their importance justifies to the end that Justice and fairness may be done."

HE COMES AND GOES And It Is Not Known Whence, Where or What For. There Seems to Ba Something Doing But What Is It? Washington, March 20. The Duke of Abruzzi left the Italian embassy before 10:30 this morning. Where he has gone or what his future plans are, none of the under officials of the em bassy are willing to say. They de clare they know nothing about the matter. The only Information obtain able Is that the duke took friendly leave of the ambassador and wife be fore he departed. The utmost reticence has been manifested by the Italian ambassador and his subordinates and servants as to the doings of the duke since his arrival here. As the duke is traveling incognito, the embassy attaches de clared it would not be proper to dis close his movements or doings. The duke has seen but very few friends while here. From the newspapers he held aloof. The few friends he has seen have included largely those he had met here while on his visit with the Italian squadron at the Jamestown exposition. The duke's visit apparent ly was to some of the legation attaches unexpected. It was not known a day before his arrival at the embassy that he was actually coming and when the subordinate officials came to the em bassy today they were apparently quite as much surprised to learn that he had left for New York at 10 o'clock this morning, although it had been gener ally expected that he would return promptly to Europe. It is believed he is intending sailing from that port to morrow, but none of the people at the embassy was willing to so declare. The various publications respecting the duke and his engagement to Miss Elkins, notably those respecting the reported wish of the duke for a settle ment of $100,000 a year as a prelim inary to the marriage have created a profound sensation at the embassy. "It is awful, it is awful," remarked one of the attaches today, referring to one of the publications. "What time did the duke leave to day?" was asked. "I don't know," was the response with a significant shrug of the shoul ders. "I came down here this morn ing and he was gone. When he left I really do not know." Formal Proposal. About the only fact in connection with this flying trip of the duke to Washington that is accepted without question is that his purpose was to sub mit a formal proposal of marriage to Katherine Elkins, daughter of the sen ator from West Virginia. The Impres sion prevails among the intimate friends of the Elkins family, that no formal engagement was entered into. Senator Elkins within the last 48 hours has declared to friends that there was no engagement, but he would not com mit himself as to the future. So when the fact developed last evening that the duke was about to leave Washington, it was assumed that his mission had failed. Some of the more cautious of the Elkins circle, however, hinted that it would be nearer the truth to say that the negotiations had not been con cluded. That statement revived a lot of talk that had been current about marriage settlements being one of the obstacles. Miss Elkins has the reputation of be ing a high strung, patriotic and self respecting girl, who would be quick to resent any intimation that sordid con siderations should enter into a nup tial contract concluded on American soil. It was pointed out that Senator Elkins had himself taken advanced ground in this matter; that he was willing to provide for his daughter with the greatest liberality but that he felt nothing but contempt for the Eur pean "dot" system whereby the pos sessor of a title was to be paid to marry an American girl. A Troublesome Feature. There was also some gossip among friends of the Elkins family relative to the status of an American wife of an Italian duke, and some color was lent to the belief that this has been a trou blesome feature in the projected en gagement by the fact that not only the Duke of Abruzzi during his Washing ton visit, but also the Italian ambas sador, Mavor des Pianches, have been cabling freely at a time when no dip lomatic question of urgency is pend ing. An Interesting point In connection with international marriages is that although for many years no license could be issued in the District of Col umbia for the marriage of a foreigner and an American without the author ity of the foreign government, the regulations governing both foreigners and Americans now are precisely identical. Under the law long in force in this city, any foreigner seek ing to marry here had to furnish a certificate from the minister or other accredited diplomatic representative showing that the marriage would be agreeable to the laws of the govern ment of the country which the pros pective groom or bride claimed as home. Now all that Is necessary is to show that the couple are not related, that the groom is 21 or over and the bride 18 or over and to state whether either of the parties had been previously married. It is learned quite definitely that the Duke of Arbruzzi expects to return to this country in the near future. The duke will sail from New York tomorrow, probably on the Lusitania, of the Cunard line, although it is said at the Italian embassy that this has not been finally settled.

Acceptance by Uncle Sam Goes Out This Afternoon. China Is Expected to Follow Her Neighbor's Lead. Washington, March 20. The Jap anese government has extended an in vitation to the American government to have the Atlantic battleship fleet visit any port in Japan on its home ward cruise around the world. This invitation was received at the Japan ese embassy here yesterday and was at once transmitted to Secretary Root by Ambassador Takahira. The secretary will this afternoon accept on behalf of the American gov ernment the invitation of Japan to have the battleship fleet visit that country on its returning voyage. It is believed that Yokohama will be the Japanese port at which the American fleet will calL An invitation is expected from the Chinese government to have the American fleet visit Chinese waters as soon as it becomes known to the Chinese government that the Japanese invitation has been accepted. In that case it will of course, be necessary for the fleet to also visit China and it is likely that the stop will be made at Shanghai. MARTINDALE ON STAND.

H was allowed a salary of $25 a week with the promise that when the publication got on its feet he should be among the first- to get an increase. At the time of the shooting Gen eral Home had been notified that his services were no longer, desired and he was practically penniless. Counsel read an article from wit ness' paper, the Jeffersonian, describ ing the shooting of Groves and Wood ward. This article declared that the shooting was deserved; that Wood ward's scheme was to get country newspaper men to invest in the pub lication and then rob them; that Woodward was a Republican, in fact and "had sold) out" his paper to the Democratic party and that the paper was controlled by the Metropolitan Street Railway company of Kansas City. WAITS ON TERMINAL Pennsylvania Will Not Open Its Tubes for Many Months. New York, March 20. Although the last of the four Pennsylvania rail road tubes under the East river was cut through on Wednesday night it was announced yesterday on author ity of the Pennsylvania railroad offi cials that the tubes will not be put into active service for nearly two years. When the iron castings are installed and the two foot layer of concrete is in place the four tunnels will be closed for many months, while work Is progressing on the' Pennsylvania's terminal station in Manhattan. No passenger trains will be run through the tubes until the entire system is ready. The two Pennsylvania tubes under the North river have not yet been entirely concreted, although they were cut through many months ago. It is stated on good authority that the entire tunnel system, with its terminals at Long Island City. Man hattan and Jersey City will cost the railroad about $90,000,000. SOLD FOR TAXES. Terminals of Pennsylvania R. R. Bid in for 607.30. Burlington, N. J., March 20. For the sum of $607.30, Andrew H. Mc Neil, capitalist and iron magnate, has become the sole owner of the Penn sylvania railway property within the city limits, including freight and pas senger stations, roundhouses, track age and equipment. The railroad refusing to pay the tax assessed by the city. Clerk Thomas S. Mooney offered its property among others sold for. unpaid taxes and de clared it "too good a bargain to miss." McNeil is known as one of the most aggressive fighters who has figured in the courts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and those who know him well expect to see trouble when he makes his ultimatum to the railroad; It is said McNeil will de mand that the road vacate his prop erty that he may tear down unsightly passenger stations, which have been an eye sore to tha city for years.

Comments on Wm. Allen White's Recent Explosion. His Fear That Long People Will Vote. PURPOSE OF PRIMARY Thought That Is What New Law Was For. GoTernor Approves Mr. Fair child's Antl Politics Talk. Governor Hoch Is suffering from sar castic fear that he may have misunder stood the purpose of the primary elec tion law. He has read William Allen White's "piece" denouncing H. B. Miller and C. L. Davidson for planning to get Into the race for governor, for the alleged purpose of "bringing out the Long vote" in the Fourth and Eighth districts. "I had always supposed," said Gover nor Hoch this morning, "that a primary law was intended to give the public a full and free opportunity to express its choice for the party candidates. I had supposed that any plan which would tend to bring out the vote should be highly commended. It had been my idea that what we wanted was to give everybody a show. "But it seems that I was mistaken in this. Mr. White says that there is a 'conspiracy to get out the vote; he says that Senator Long is guilty of dis reputable politics because he is trying to get his full strength in the field. I don't know that this is what Senator Long is trying to do, but if It is, it seems to me it is a highly commendable move. If any plan can be presented for the purpose of getting people out to vote at the primary, it ought to be adopted, regardless of, whether it helps Long or helps somebody else. "It certainly is an amazing thing to me what foolish things very wise men can say sometimes. This article of White's criticising H. B. Miller for thinking of getting into the race for governor is almost as absurd as the explosion he had one time when I gave my consent to allowing a certain pure ly legal matter to be referred to the United States supreme court for settle ment. I recall at that time Mr. White had an explosion in which he accused me of trying to rob the people of my state of fifty millions of dollars. Now what do you think of that? As though I, the governor of a state, would try to rob the people of my state of fifty millions of dollars. "And all that was because I felt It was my -d-uty to allow the supreme court of the United States to pass upon a proposition In which all the matters at issue were legal matters. Have we reached a place in this coun try where it isn't safe to trust mat ters to the supreme court for de cision The matter referred to by Governor Hoch, as will probably be understood, was the Katy land suit, in which the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway was obliged to get the consent of the governor to use the state's name to get into the supreme court and test the claims of certain settlers who had taken up land claimed by the M., K. T. railway. The governor gave his consent, the case went to the supreme court and the railroad company was knocked out. Says Falrchild Is Right. Commenting on the statements of Superintendent E. T. Fairchild in which Mr. Fairchild- urged that county superintendents be retained in office as iong as they give good service, re gardless of politics, Governor Hoch said: "I believe Mr. Fairchild is right. The elimination of politics from our schools is a thing highly to be de sired. "And I don't believe that what Mr. Fairchild has said will hurt him with the people of Kansas. The people of Kansas don't take much stock in the roars of dissatisfied politicians; they ask their public officials to give them good service, and that's alL If the action of Mr. Fairchild serves to keep some people out of office who had fig ured on getting in, those people may be disappointed about it, but the peo ple won't care much." RIGHTS OF ALIENS. To Be Tested in Suit Against Rail roads for Damages. Los Angeles, March 20. The right of alien non-resident Japanese to re cover damages for the dath of rela tives accidentally killed in this coun try has been raised in the federal court in connection with the suit of heirs of I. Nagasi, to recover $20,000 from the Santa Fe and Salt Lake rail roads. An attorney for the Salt Lake rail road raised a demurrer to the com plaint and asked for a dismissal of the suit on' the ground that the heirs were not only aliens, but also non residents. Without rendering a decision. Judge Wellborn asked that the matter be submitted on briefs to be taken un der advisement. AUTO TANK EXPLODES. Starts a Fire That Destroys Property Worth $25,O00.

Three members of a terminal witching- crew, Roy Armstrong, foreman, and Charles Clark and William Brown, switchmen, were arrested here today on the charge of having sy tematically robbed a certain Louis ville Nashville freight train at night frequently for several months past. According to the police, Armstrong and Brown confessed, saying In effect that they had robbed the same train almost every night and secured more than $5,000 worth of goods, selling part of it and using the remainder as fuel to run the locomotive on which, they carried away their loot. BOTH WERE KILLED. Two Customs Officers Mistake Each Other For Smugglers. El Paso, Tex., March 20. Mounted customs Inspectors, Charles Logan and Charles Jones fought a duel In the dry bed of the Rio Grande In this city last night and both were killed. Their bodies were found this morning. It is supposed that each mistook the other for a smuggler. At first it was believed the two of ficers had been killed by smugglers, but this theory is discredited as tracks around where the bodies lay all fit the shoes of the dead men. Three shots were heard by people living In the neighborhood about 9 o'clock last night. The pistol of one of the officers held two empty shells and that of the other one empty shell. Logan was a son of the late Major T. H. Logan of the United States army and a brother of the wife of Captain Frank D. Wickham, Twelfth infan try, U. S. A., stationed at Governor's Island, N. T. Jones was a railway man and lived at San Antonio and Houston. Tex., before entexinsr tha I customs service.

An Interview With the President Pub lished In the Paris Temps. Paris, March 20. The Temps pub lishes an article on President Roose velt from the pen of Andre Tardieu, its foreign representative, who has just returned from America. After pictur ing the president's youthful vigor and his love for the struggles against wrong, Mr. Tardieu quotes from the president's utterances to him, especial ly in connection with his crusade. The president declares his struggle against plutocracy was because he was an enemy of socialism and anarchy. "I am after my fashion a conserva tive," Mr. Tardieu quotes Mr. Roose velt as saying, "and for this I combat the abuses of plutocracy. I know the people in Wall street denounce me as a Judas Iscariot, but it is because I speak the language of truth to the American people that I think I am a rood patriot. I am not a sentimental ist. Let them attack me; I will defend myself by appealing to the spirit of justice in the country. I will not re turn the blows." Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt said he thought what the United States lacked most was a comprehension of the fact that she has interests throughout the entire world. "I wish all Americans," the presi dent said, "would feel that American politics are world politics; that we are and will be concerned in all the great questions." Mr. Roosevelt then spoke with en thusiasm of the battleship fleet, which he said would go to Hawaii, probably to Australia and then through the Suez canal to Europe. He had ordered the fleet to make this voyage, first, because he wished to demonstrate to the American people that the navy was effective and important, that they should be interested and proud of it, and secondly, because he desired to show to the other powers, the naval force of the United States. The presi dent declared that, without doubt, the I United. States would eventually have present one never would be divided. "We say," M. Tardieu quotes Mr. Roosevelt, as remarking, "speak softly and carry the 'big stick;' this is a good policy in international troubles and is good also in foreign policies." Dynamite Thawed With TTsual Results Santa Fe, N. M., March 20. Two persons were killed outright and three others seriously injured at Los Tanos, on the El Paso Southwest ern railroad, by an explosion of sev en sticks of dynamite, which were be ing thawed in a stove. The house was wrecked. The Double Track Of the 'Union Pacific R K. between Topeka and Kansas City is a model in Its way and operated over it are eight trains daily that are models of con-venience, We're sorry if you've tried other medi cines and they failed.

Pension Bui Passes House With Con solidation of Agencies Feature. Washington, March 20. After sev eral hours of spirited discussion over the proposition to abolish seventeen of the eighteen United States pension agencies and consolidate pension dis bursement in Washington, the house passed the pension appropriation bill carrying $150,768,000 the largest sum ever authorized by that measure. The house by a vote of 86 to 139 stood by the committee on appropriation and left unchanged its recommendation for one general agency. An amendment by Mr. Taylor (Ohio) to restore the pension agen cies which the bilf drops In the inter est of the consolidation of pension disbursements in Washington, arous ed considerable discussion. Kahn of California and Campbell of Kansas spoke in favor of the amendment. The amendment was lost, 86 to 139. BLUE LAWS AT PAOLA. Restaurants, Soda Fountains and Clear Stores to Close Sunday. Paola, Kan., March 20. Believing six days a week to be sufficient for labor, the mayor and councilmen of this city have Issued an order closing all business houses on Sunday. The new order will take effect April 1. This will include all restaurants. soda fountains, cigar stores and the like. The sentiment of some of the mer chants Is bitterly opposed to the clos ing order. Others are eager for it to go into effect immediately. Ewing: Herbert at McPherson. Hiawatha, March 20.

One Is Provided for in a Bill Offered by La Follette. "Washington, March 20. If a bill for the creation of a tariff commission which was introduced torlay by Senator La Follette should become a law it would be compatent for the commission and the president together to suspend any tariff schedule and put on the free list any article on which there was such a combination as would control production, prices or wages either in the United States or in any foreign market. The bill provides for the ap pointment of a commission of nine members, one from each of the Judicial circuits of the union and no one of which shall be a member of congress. Not more than five are to be members of any one political party. One is to be skilled in manufacturing, another In agriculture, another in imports, another a representative of labor, the next a lawyer skilled in the tariff laws, the next an expert in tariff and reciprocity, one in the knowledge of production and accounting, another who has made a study of foreign markets, and .the last "an eminent economist." The members are to receive a salary of J10.000 each and after the first 11 years of the exist- Weston Bread Wherever it goes it finds a friend.

The first appointments are arranged to terminate so that a new member should be appointed every year. In presenting his bill, Mr. La Follette said he would soon ask the senate for time to speak on the measure. In respect to the sec tion of the bill authorizing the suspen sion or duties he said he had placed that provision there as giving his own views on the tariff and because he be-lieved-congrees had a right to legislate along those lines. MR. HTJI.Li SirST COME DOWN. Sallna Man Can't Get Notarial Com mission Except in Regular Way. Even so great a man as G. M. Hull of Salina, can't get a notary's com mission without signing' the formal application blank. So rules, the governor's office, the secretary of state's office concurring therein. G. M. Hull of Sallna is no doubt one of the foremost men in the state, but his fame appears not to have penetrated deeply into the present ad ministration. So, when the time came for Mr. Hull to have his notarial commission renewed, the usual blank form of application for renewal was sent him, just as is sent to all com mon citizens. Instead of signing1 his name to the application, and giving his postofflce address, together with the signature of five or six of his neighbors who endorse the applica tion, Mr. Hull wrote across the face of the application in lead1 pencil a curt note, in which he said that if he had to so to alt that bother to get his commission as a notary renewed, he would just let the commission be with held. "If you want to know who I am ask N. H. Loomis, R. A. Burch, J. W. Going, T. A.- Noftzger, R. R. Beam and Fred H. Quincy," he said, as a final blast, calculated to blow the secretary of state clear out of the water. In reply to Mr. Hull's communica tion, a new application will be sent him, with the reouest that instead! of going to the trouble of writing an other letter and sending in another list of references, he simply sign the application, and give hia postofflce, in the usual manner. Suit for $30,000,000 Dismissed. New Tork, March 20.- Judge Holt in the United States circuit court to day dismissed the suit for $30,000,000 damages brought by the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company against the American Sugar Refining company for alleged violation of the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust act. Judge Holt, however, granted laave to the Pennsylvania company to amend Its complaint within so days. IN SIXTH DISTRICT Hill City's Teteran Hotel Man Deserts His Town. After 25 Years' Seryice He Goes to Russell, BOOMERS ORGANIZE. Get Together to Boost North western Kansas. PlainviUe Has a Real Automo bile Factory. Neal Overman, former pastor of the Lincoln Christian church, wants to keep busy. So he carries his adver tisement of auctioneer in his home pa pers. William Keleher, the pioneer landlord of Graham county; having run hotels in both Millbrook and Hill City for more than 25 years, has quit Graham county and gone to Russell and taken possession of the well known Russell hotel. He is the best known landlord in northwest Kansas, as he is one of the most popular. That veteran editor and publisher, L. L. Alrlch, has treated his Cawker City Record to a new dress and prom ises to make other improvements on his paper from time to time. The Record can be put down as a pioneer. It has faithfully watched the growth and development of that section of the state. It Is said by the attorneys that the next session of court in Gove county in April, will be the largest and most exciting one ever held in the county. There will be a murder case, the first ever tried in the district court of Gove county. Besides, there are two assault cases, the fellow in the one case being about 55 years old and the girl who makes the charge, 13. The other is against one of the county officials, which has been tried once and the Jury disagreed. Besides there are a number of other Important cases, which will make the term the longest ever held in the county. The real estate people of the Beaver valley, which takes in Decatur, Raw lins and Cheyenne counties, have form ed an association for the object of booming northwestern Kansas. Saint Francis, Bird City, McDonald, Atwood, Ludell, Herndon and Cedar Bluffs are prominent towns in the Beaver valley. It is a fertile valley, and corn and al falfa are king. Lincoln has been a temperance town for several years. A running fight has been made against the Joints and boot leggers. Every illegal method of selling intoxicants disappeared long ago. Two druggists have permits, and there are those who work to have them revoked. It is a good, clean town. J. H. Burkholder, proprietor of the Piainville machine shops, is a sort of Jack of all trades. He has recently added machinery for the manufacture of autos. He has turned out the first one, and is working on another. In the general construction he uses a higher wheel, i necessitating the use of a solid tire, and thereby overcoming the pneu matic tire trouble. The new auto he is completing is a beauty. It has two seats and a 20-horse power engine. He has several orders for autos. One of the big sales of Rooks county real estate was made by W. B. Sanders, of Piainville, when he disposed of the Noah Shaw ranch containing 640 acres for $25,000. This ranch is located on the famous Paradise Flats. While drilling a well near Luray. Russell county, at a depth of about 223 feet, the drillers struck a sand which was so full of oil that a lighted match would set fire to it. This well is in the Blue Hills country. There has been a company organized of representative citizens) and business men in Lucas, Luray and Waldo, thrifty Russell coun ty towns, to prospect for oil and gas, and the work of putting down a hole is only a matter of a short time. The Commercial club of Cawker City is pulling for a laundry, believing that if successful in securing smaller enter prises larger ones will come. Lucas is one of the busiest trade centers of Russell county. Her grain and stock shipmehts are large. It has a large number of substantial busi ness firms and is the home of a candi date for the state senate. And the crying need of the town is a hotel. It is unfortunate for a town as active as Lucas not having a hotel. Bogue is one of the thrifty towns out in Graham county. Her busi ness interests demand a bank.. Some capitalists from Hill City secured a charter for a bank at Bogue just about the time of the commencement of the money flurry. Nothing has been done yet to start it, but other persons have been there from another county to look over the bank situation, and gave out promises that they would soon return and reorganize and start the Bogue bank to running. There isn't much harmony among the Phillipsburg editors. .They need an evangelist like Dr. Oliver there to get them together as he did the edi tors of the Mankato papers. One edi tor in Phillpsburg prints in his paper the following about his brother editor: "The lanky squirt who sucks the county teat 365 days in the year." Tally another point for the Sixth district: Ex-Lieutenant Governor D. J. Hanna of Graham county, per manent chairman of the last state convention, and) Robb M. MoGonigal, of Thomas county, elected one of the delegates at large to the Chicago na tional convention. Nothing the mat ter with the Sixth district fellows. One of the Phillipsburg editors is a fighter If the rumor is true. It is said this scrappy editor used a gun on a delinquent subscriber and shot him in the foot. He didn't get the money either. Russell county ought to be good for 300 Republican majority at any time. For some years the county has been a sort of betwixt and between. In the convention to elect delegates to the Topeka convention R. T. Fowler of Lucas, who came to Russellcounty in 1872, and owns 2,000 acres of land in the county, said a few things which ought to get the Republican factions together in future elections. After the convention endorsed his candidacy for senator of the Thirty-fourth district, he was called on for a speech. Among other matters talked over, Mr. Fow ler said: "I know what some of you delegates are thinking, that I know more about herding Texas cattle than I do about legislation and politics, and I guess you are right. One thing I learned when I used to herd cattle was that when we had a stampede, if we could get the cattle to milling' one way we could hold them easily, but If they got to running in all direc tions it was a hard job, and made lota of trouble for the cowboys. Russell HEALING POWER OR PINE If you have ever taken a walk 'through a pine forest you will remember how, al most unconsciously, the head was thrown back and lungs expanded as you drew in, with long deep breaths, the pine-laden fir. How invigorating it was how heal ing! Thousands of mem and women suffering from, lung and bronchial affections, but whose circumstances prevent them from seeking renewed health in the pine forests can be relieved and cured -in their own home by rising Virgin Oil of Pin (pure). This preparation contains all the health riving properties of the forest trees, and will break up a cold in 24 hours and cure any cough that is curable. It is also a perfect neutralizing agent for uric acid, and affords speedy relief in -cases of rheu matism, lame back, or other affections re- 1 1 1 rl 1 AAm 4(n Ar-m T -1 .2 suiting from disordered kidneys x-ui up omy in viala, each securely sealed in a round wooden case, the gen uine always shows the name Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure, prepared only by Leach Chemical Co.. Cincinnati. O county Republicans have had a stam pede for several years, and unless we 'mill' one way we can accomplish very little." If this hint is accepted by the Russell county .political stampeders it will put that county in the Republican column in the future. It begins to look as if the Thirty fourth senatorial district is going to have a big time getting a successor to the present Incumbent, D. B. Harrison, of Osborne county. There ought to be fairness in politics, and if so then Lincoln county is entitled to the honor. Russell, Ellsworth and Osborne coun ties have each had the senator. Lin coln county -has endorsed E. A. Mc Farland and Russell county has spoken out plainly for her choice, R. T. Fowler. Both of these candidates are going after the office, and neither one will let it come their way without doing hard work to secure it. Peti tions are being circulated by the friends of the two candidates. The contest promises to be exciting as any one can be. And, by the way. Russell county Is liable to furnish a Demo crat to make the race. That man is J. W. Morphy, editor and publisher of the Russell Reformer. If he gets into the race the other fellows will learn during the counting of the bal lots that Morphy was in the race. One of the best known Democrats in the Sixth district says: "There is a general belief prevalent among the Democrats of the district that the new primary election law will help their party by arousing a greater Interest among the rank and file than has existed heretofore. The leaders have complained of the apathy in the past, as well as the difficulty of getting more than a few of the old wheel horses and committeemen to attend caucuses and conventions. They think that all the voting Democrats will turn out to the primary elections now and take part in the nominations and thug make them representative of the body of the party rather than of a few leaders and politicians. They think also that it will almost utterly eliminate the old style conservative influence." J. T. Hill, of Logan, ex-clerk of court of Phillips county, will attend the Denver national Democratic con vention. He hopes to be one of the assistant sergeants at arms. If ho succeeds he will remember his Sixth district friends who will be there. A well known Sixth district Re publican who is seeking an office, spells it "politicks."" Some of the Ellis county Demo cratic politicians fear that the new primary law will "result in all the nominations in the Democratic party for county officers going to the Rus sians, who are in a big majority in their party. "In Ellis' county. They claim that fn conventions the leaders saw to it that the places were divided between the Russians and other Democrats, but that this control will be absent in the primaries. The Democrats of the Sixth dis trict are still hunting' for a man to beat Congressman Reeder with. Now the friends of Frank A. Lutz, of Mitchell county, promise to "draft" him if he declines to allow his name to go before the primaries. He is popular and a successful attorney of his section of the state. Lutz would make a great race for congress. While the Democrats are searching for a man to nominate for state sen ator In the Mitchell-Jewell district, now represented by F. D. Young, of Beloit, the friends of J. C. Ere3ch, ex-sherlff of Mitchell county, and one of the na tional delegates elected from the Sixth m&xU II iff iff 1 V? Wl 1 h "'i ill lip'" sN 0H congressional district to the Denver convention, are urging him to allow his name to be used in the primary elec tion. Mr. Eresch is a. practical Mitchell county farmer, and is one of the big wheat raisers in that county. If he gets Into the race he will be as popular a favorite with the Democrats as was Chan. Perdue with the Republicans when he was postmaster of Beloit. J. G. P.. Pinney, of Sylvan Grove, will allow his name to go before the pri mary election for members of the legis lature from Lincoln county. He is a stalwart Republican. Mr. Pinney is a young business man in his town and if successful will be a valuable watch dog for the best Interests of Lincoln county. TOOK IN $757,014,667.

Gary and President W. E. Cory say: "During the first six months of 1907, orders for steel products were received equalling substantially the maximum capacity of the mills. Subsequently there was a marked falling off in the new business offered. As a result the ton nage of unfilled orders on the books at December 31, 1907, was only 4,624,553 tons of all kinds of manufactured steel products. In common with other lines of Industry there was a material reduc tion in sales during the latter part of 1907. However, the bookings for Janu ary were better than December and for February 25 per cent betetr than Jan uary. As this report goes to press the bookings per day are at least 25 per cent larger than those of February. The management express hopeful views of the future." KEEP OFF THE TRACK.

STARR DIDN'T ATTEND. No Attempt to Appear at His Little Child's Funeral. Dewey, Okla., March 20. The fu neral of Henry Starr's little boy was held yesterday afternoon at the home near Dewey, but Starr made no at tempt to attend the services. The only reason he did not attend probably J. 1 The Royal Gypsy Chorus Which Wi 11 Close the Pipe Organ Course at the Auditorium Tonight. lln or guitar, and use the castanets and tambourines when required. They have a winsome and captivating manner on the platform, and the fact that they are young ladies of culture and refinement, shows in all their ac tions, whether on or off the platform. The first part of the program is given in evening costume. Special costumes are worn for certain selec tions, and the entire second part of the program is given in beautiful Gypsy coBtumes of a variety and rich ness of color. This organization grew iout of a program arranged for the Ocean Grove assembly by the musical director, Mr. T. K. Morgan. He ar ranged for the Gypsy program as one of the features of the assembly two years ago and it was such a success that suggestions came to the organ lzatlon that it should give lyceum en tertainments. They have met with was that he desired to avoid blood shed, which would undoubtedly have resulted had he been present. Starr is said to be the leader of the bandits, who robbed the Tyro, Kansas, bank, but he asserts that he can prove an alibi, according to his friends. It is said that he is willing to surrender provided a fair trial Is guaranteed for him. How to Preserve Eggs. Washington, March 20. Cover a fresh egg with a thin coating of lard and it will keep perfectly good for an indefinite period, according to a re port of a new method for preserving eggs made to the state department by Consul Murphy at Bordeaux. The discovery is of Italian origin and is regarded as important, as it is claimed that 100 eggs can thus be preserved with four cents worth of lard and an hour of time. May Also Extend to St. Joseph and Atchison. Kansas City, Mo., March 20. The Missouri Kansas Interurban rail way, known as the "Strang line," in operation between Kansas City and Olathe, and projected to Topeka, has been sold to the interests controlling the Kansas City-Western Railroad company, owning and operating the trolley line between Kansas City and Port Leavenworth, and in the city of Leavenworth. The immediate promise of the pur chase by the interests owning the Leavenworth line is that the Strang line is to be completed to Topeka and probably extended southward to link with the big interurban system now in operation in southeastern Kansas and southwest Missouri.. A telegram from W. B. Strang, who is in New York, received in Kansas City last night, saW that the owners of the Leavenworth road had con cluded the purchase of the Strang line and that their representatives would be in Kansas City Monday to take possession of the property. The Strang line was originally, pro jected to Topeka by way of Olathe and Lawrence. The Strang gas-elec-trio car. a self-propelling motor car, was built for its use. These cars have been operated since the com pletion of the line to Olathe. Two weeks ago it was announced that steps had been taken to change the line to a trolley line. Pioneer in Interurban Traffic. The Leavenworth line, is really the pioneer interurban line in this part of the country. The company that projected and built the line sold its interest to a syndicate in March, 1906. Clarence S. McCiellan of Mount Vernon, N. Y., was named as the prin cipal purchaser. In June the trans fer of the stocks and bonds was made and a new board of directors elected. Fisk Robinson were then and are now the fiscal agents of the company. The name was changed from the Kansas City Leavenworth to the Kansas City-Western Railway com pany. At that time it was announced that the line was to be extended to Atchison and St. Joseph and to Law rence and Topeka. An extensive pro gramme of improvements was mapped out, including double tracking, the Danastmg or the tracks, the installing of a signal system and the extending of the line by arrangement with other lines for an entrance into the business center of Kansas City. The company acquired the local line in the city of j-ieavenwortn and extended the through service from Kansas City, Mo., to Fort Leavenworth. Recently a half hour service was put in be tween Kansas City and Wolcott. Now the company is preparing to invade new territory with interurban lines. The purchase of the Strang line is a step in the carrying out of this purpose. If arrangements can be made with the Metropolitan Street Railway company cars will be run downtown to the Ninth street loop from a connection with the Roanoke line at Thirty-ninth street.

That's to be expected in a way for most of those holding parts have ap peared in theatricals before and it is to be expected that they would im prove. But the improvement in many instances is unusual and a good deal of credit for it must go to Professor Lane, of the oratorical department at the college who has done the coaching and who has labored with untiring en ergy and with excellent results.

Son of Governor With Teammates Wallops Topeka High School. A question which has been the stum bling block for the captains- of indus try as well as the statement of the coun try for years past was settled after an hour of earnest debate last night at the High School auditorium by repre sentatives of the Topeka and Wichita high schools. The question which was decided for the negative, giving the palm of victory to Wichita was: "Re solved, That labor unions are inimical to the public welfare." There is no doubt of the victory won by the labor union representatives as the verdict of the Judges was unan imous and in accord with the finding of the audience. The negative side of the question was handled by a force of three Wichita high school boys under the leadership of Eugene Stanley, son of ex-Governor W. E. Stanley and Lieu tenants Roy Buckingham and James Scott, there being no privates engaged in the contest on either side. The opposing forces were mar shaled under the leadership of Quay Diven of the Topeka High school and commissioned! ofllcers Paul Emery and Alfredi Bartell and the decision of the judges indicates that their de feat was thorough. The leaders of the opposing forces were allowed 12 minutes each to present their claims and seven minutes each for closing, their aids each being allowed 10 min utes for the presentation of their side of the question. The question was remarkably well balanced, the members of each side indicating close application to the subject from the student point. The Wichita contingency handled their 6ide of the question with considerable oratorical effect indicating the pos sibility of a class in debate at the Stanley home with an ex-governor as instructor. The Judges of the debate were J. H. Rhodes, professor of his tory in the State Normal school; Richard Rees Price, superintendent of the Hutchinson schools and E. F. Bryant of the department of Eng lish literature of the State university, the decision being announced by Superintendent Price, of Hutchinson. While awaiting the decision of the judges of debate the contest in decla mation between the Philomatheans and Atheniun societies of the high school was held the decision being won by Miss Georgia Gaines, representing the Atheniuns. The presentation of the award a diamond set class pin suitable for either society was made by Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter. The emblem belongs to Miss Gaines for a period of one year or until it is won by a representative of the Phil omathean society and is a work of art. The faculty of the high school is the donor of the emblem and rumor says that the pin is worth $50 at an ordi nary estimate of values. As an evidence of their interest in the cause represented by their team the members of the Wichita high school wired them a message of cheer which was signed by "Seven hundred Pupils from the Peerless Princess high school. Several musical selections were ren dered while the decisions of the Judge s were being awaited; Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter acting as judge in the dec lamation contest.

Even since woman's beauty held sway over man and brought her pow er, Influence and wealth, she has sought a way to stay the processes of old age and banish deep lines and fur rows from her brow. Chemists, beauty doctors and skin specialists have for centuries past vainly tried to fathom the sealed se crets of nature and find a way to keep the beauty of youth in a woman s face and form. Harriett Meta was no exception to the general rule of women. Trobule and worry left their unsightly lines and marks upon her face. She saw the beauty of her youth giving way to the heavy imprints of coming age. Her first resort was to face massage, cold creams and steaming pots; then next to beauty specialists, but all in vain. The wrinkles seemed, if any thing, to grow deeper and deeper. Massage even appeared to stretch the skin; more wrinkles came. She had spent all the money she could afford to spend, and was ready to give up in despair, when one day a friend made a happy suggestion. This gave her a brilliant idea. She set to work on the thing herself, and after several months hard labor and llmost endless experimenting she suc ceeded in producing a wrinkle remov er entirely different from anything she had seen or heard of.

The very fact that it resists all external applications, and ordinary treatments, is good reason for alarm, for the same firerm which oroduces cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble be from any inherited taint. Surface treatment cannot reach the trouble the blood is at fault and must be purified before a cure can, be hoped for. In S. S. will be found a remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind. It is a perfect blood purifier one that goes directly into the circulation and promptly cleanses it of all impurities, poisons and taints. The ulcef can never heal while the blood discharges into it the noxious matter with which it is infected, but when S. S. S. has rid the blood of this cause and freshened and built up the circulation the sore will heal naturally, and of its own ac cord. S. S. S. begins at the bottom and heals the place as it should be healed and makes a permanent and lasting cure.

Cut in Travel Kates Between Chicago and All Coast Points. Chicago, March 20. Travel to and from California and the entire Pacific coast will be cheaper this summer than ever before during an entire season. After a stormy session of the Trans continental Passenger association the CXDCOC03COC)COCODOCX)CXXXXX)0 You'll Know Soon 7911 8 20c Pound CKXXXXXXXXXXXXOCOOUCXXXDOCIO Harriman lines and the Santa Fe gave independent notice that they would put In summer tourist rates to tho Pacific coast, effective between June and Oc tober. The notice came after an attempt on the part of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific to prevent summer tourist rates from being made, these roads arguing that a minimum baais of 2 cents a mile would be better for the railroads. The Southern lines insisted that the Pacific coast should be granted as favorable rates as the Colorado common-points. The basis to be used for Colorado will, therefore, be the basis for summer tourist rates to all points west of Chicago. Upon this basis the rates to the coast will be about 12.50 cheaper than last year From Chicago the rate for the round trip to all coast points between San Diego on the south and Vancouver on the north will be 172.50.
