Candidates and All Other Ques tions Are Overshadowed vIn Most Municipal Elections by Liquor Problem. HEAVY VOTE POLLED In Kansas City and St. Joe Although It Is Saining. Intense Interest Is Manifested Throughout Nebraska. Chicago, April 7. The city election today was confined to aldermanic con test! in the various wards. There was no direct issue involved except where, In eight or ten of the city wards the lection of the aldermen hinged some what upon the Sunday closing of sa loons. In Cook county outside of the city of Chicago elections were held in a number of townships, and in a few of these local option was the issue. The campaign has been rather quiet and less interest than usual. An effort was made to force the question of Sunday closing into the foreground by having it placed upon the ballot. The election commission ers, however, refused to -do this, and the courts sustained their attitude. Voting in the Rain. Kansas City. Mo.. April 7. Despite a teady downpour of rain, an exceed ingly heavy vote was cast during the early hours of the municipal election here today. Interest in the present campaign has been more pronounced than in any previous one in Kansas City. A complete city ticket including 21 members of the common council will be elected. Mayor Henry M. Beards ley, Republican, is a candidate for re election, while Thomas C. Crittenden, Jr., a son of ex-Governor Crittenden of Missouri, heads the Democratic ticket. -Both sides claim victory. Elections for minor offices will be held in Kansas City, Kan., and In dependence, Mo. At both places the Issues are entirely local. Prohibition the Issue. Lincoln, Neb., April 7. Prohibition was the issue at the election held -in Nebraska today. The voting was heavy and the interest intense. The campaign in Lincoln and Hastings claimed particular attention. In the latter city a brewery was started last year. In Lincoln the contest waged by prohibitionists was extremely aggres sive and about 10,000 votes were polled. Voting on Local Option. Springfield, 111., April 7. With the weather cloudy and a rain probable, a heavy vote is being polled. The local option, issue overshadows questions as to candidates. Heavy Vote Polled. 8t- Joseph, Mo., April 7. Notwith standing the rain a heavy vote is being polled at the municipal election here today and both Republicans and Dem ocrats are claiming a victory for their nominees for mayor. A. P. Clayton, Democratic nominee for mayor, is past imperial potentate of the Shriners. Xo Election In Omaha. Omaha, Neb., April 7. Municipal elections were held in all the cities and towns of Nebraska today with the ex ception of Omaha, which works under a special charter. The principal issue Is prohibition and the campaign in many of the cities has been fought out on that line. The prohibition forces claim. 70 per cent of the counties in the state and in the result of today's elec tion is promised a revelation. Voting on Civil Service. Peoria, III., April 7. Township of ficers and city aldermen are being voted for on the same ballot here to day. Nineteen townships in the county outside of Peoria are making local option the issue and a heavy vote Is expected. Civil service rule for the fire and police departments are also being voted on. Women Serve Lunch. Bloomlngton, 111., April 7. t-The weather is cool and cloudy and a heavy vote is being polled, there being much interest in the prohibition question. Both sides are confident.

St. Louis, April 7. Despite a drizzling rain women turned out today, armed with coffee and sandwiches to take an active part in the balloting on the lo cal option question in Granite City, Edwardsvllle, Alton and adjoining towns in Illinois, across the river from St. Louis. The refreshments were serv ed at the polls to the voters for pro hibition. In Alton carnations also re warded those who voted the dry ticket. In Alton the saloonmen hired all the livery stable vehicles in town to carry voters to the polls. The women offer ed their family vehicles. Yesterday 450 children and 30 women, carrying banners inscribed with pro hibition mottoes paraded the Granite Ciitv streets singing "Granite City is going dry" to the tune of "Bringing in f 1 IDC OUC.C. They were accompanied by 50 saloon sympathizers beating tin pans and bur lesquing the women's parade. At Glen Carbon, a prohibition meet ing was invaded by a group of men who ran througn me nau euuravonng to disperse the auaience oy onenng tree beer outside, but the meeting continued and the intruders finally departed. Prohibition is the principal issue In all the Illinois cities in today's election. In this vicinity,, except East St. Louis and Belleville, where local option pe titions were rejected because of alleged Irregularities. PRIMARY IN WISCONSIN. Taft and La FoUette In Contest for National Delegates. La Crosse, Wis.. April 7. All over Wisconsin today the supporter of Rob ert M. LaFollette and William H. Taft -re contesting to determine which shall have the delegation from Wisconsin to the Republican national convention. Early In the year the delegation was conceded to LaFollette without a con test, but later the Taft men organized and are making a contest in every pre cinct. The bulk of the delegation is still admitted to be for LaFollette but TUESDAY EVENING. the Taft people hope to get a few dele gates and thus weaken the effect of a solid home support for LaFollette. Four delegates are to be elected at large and 22 from the eleven congres sional districts all by direct vote. In, this, the Seventh district, indications today were said to favor the election of one LaFollette delegate and pro bably the other, but on delegates at large there Is much scratching and confusion and the vote is expected to be close. At several cities hard contests are being waged on prohibition. The anti saloon league has conducted vigorous campaigns. The results are in doubt with both sides claiming victory. Be loit and Marinette are the largest cities engaged in the struggle. At Madison a spirited contest for mayor is being waged between J. V. Schubert, Demo crat, the present incumbent and W. J. McKay, Republican, the latter favoring Sunday closing of saloons, t Milwaukee, April 7. A large vote was polled early, the registration was the largest in the history of the city, there being about 80,000 names. The campaign for mayor has been the most exciting in the city's history and preparations have been made by all the candidates for getting out a full vote. David S. Rose is Democratic candidate for mayor and is opposed by Thomas J. Pringle, Republican, and Emil Seidel, Social Democrat. Oshkosh, Wis., April 7. There are six candidates for delegates to the na tional Republican convention in the Eighth districts, two Sets of LaFollette delegates and one Taft. The weather is good. Voting light. Racine, Wis., April 7. The LaFollette district delegates and those at large will in probability be elected as Ra cine county has always been strong for the senator. Republicans have two sets of electors, the Democrats one. wreckthe"l" Forward Car Jumps Track and Falls Into a Yard. Eight Persons Seriously Injured and Others Slightly So. Chicago, April 7. Eight persons were seriously injured, one probably fatally and nearly a score of others were more or less seriously hurt today when the motor car of a southbound train on the south side elevated railway Jumped the track a few hundred feet north of the Indiana avenue station and crashed to the ground. The front of the car fell into the rear yard of a residence at 4235 Prairie avenue, but the end re mained propped against the structure. The car was used as a smoker. The motorman of the car, George Stang, was cut and bruised about the head and body and his skull fractured. He was also internally injured. He was taken to the Wesley hospital where it was said he might die. Among those most seriously hurt were Joseph Dar mody, Marion, O., internally Injured, head cut and leg broken,, may 'die; E. TT. Smith, conductor of motor car, skull fractured and may die; Thomas M. Mosser, skull fractured, may die; Barney Homan, internal injuries; Jas. O'Hare, internal injuries; E. C. Quinn, leg broken, internal injuries, condition serious. About 50 people were in the front car when the accident happened, and all of them were more or less Injured. The train was moving rapidly when the front trucks of the motor car jumped the track. The car bumped along the rails for a short distance and then plunged oft the elevated structure, landing in the rear yard of Mrs. A. T. Payne, at 4235 Prairie avenue. The second car crashed into the rear of th-j motor car and carried it along the tracks for several feet. The front trucks of the second car also left the track. The passengers of the front car were thrown in a heap to the floor and some of them were dashed against the windows cutting them selves badly. A panic followed in the four rear cars and a number of men raised windows and leaped out onto the elevated structure, where they were in imminent danger from the third rail. The attendants of the rear cars, however, managed to get them back into the train before anybody was injured. Ambulances and patrol wagons were hurried to the scene from nearly all the police stations on the south side of the city. Lieuten ant Cronin and ten officers from the Fiftieth street station were the first to arrive. They found the passengers of the motor car penned in and struggling to make their escape. When additional help arrived the imprison ed passengers wer dragged through the shattered windows and carried in to nearby residences, while the more seriously injured were hurried to va rious hospitals. C. V. Weston, general manager, said that the accident was caused by the motor casting of the front car dropping to the track and raising the trucks above the structure. "These motor castings," said Mr. Weston, "are heavy, weighing several hundred pounds. The one of the front car dropped down and the rear trucks ran into it. Naturally It acted as a lever and raised the car from the tracks. The impetus of the moving train shoved this car off the structure and it fell to the ground, despite all that the motorman could do to check it." STATE OWNS ITS WATER And No Other State Has a Right to Take It Away. Washington. April 7. In an opinion by Justice Holmes of the supreme court of the United States, that court holds that the state of New Jersey has the right to prohibit the diversion of the waters of her streams to another state. The decision was rendered in the case of the Hudson County Water company vs. Robert M. McCanter, at torney general of New Jersey in which under the law of 1905, the state sought to restrain the company from supplying water from the Passaic river to Staten Island, New York. The company took the position that the law prohibiting such diversion was unconstitutional be cause it Interfered with interstate com merce .and also because it interfered with property rights, "but the New Jer sey courts upheld the law as in line with the state's right to control its own natural resources. Justice Holmes' de cision sustained the state view,, and his decision was against the water company. The opinion asserted in posi tive terms the right of the state to control the waters within its borders. AN IHCHJF RAIN. Largest Fall of the Season in Eastern Kansas.

Tells His Hearers to Attend to Present Day Problems. NIJW ERA IS COMING. One of Humanization and Brotherhood He Declares. Roosevelt But Toices the Spirit of the Age. Omaha, April 7. Secretary Taft rounded out the first day of his trip to Nebraska with a speech at the Audi- torium last night, where he was the honored 'guest at a banquet given by the McKinley club. It was a stren uous sixteen hours, which began at 8 In the morning and ended at midnight. The secretary took occasion to place before the people the Issues of the com ing campaign as he views them and in cidentally to reply to the recent utter ances of W. J. Bryan when the Demo cratic leader criticised the action of the McKinley and Roosevelt adminis trations for their policy in the Philip pine islands. The secretary stated that Mr. Bryan was not consistent in his utterances because he had been the means in a large degree of bringing about the signing of the treaty of Paris, whereby the Philippines came under the control of the United States, and he is now criticising the action of the administration because of its ef forts to teach the Filipinos the art of self-government. The war secretary also took up and dealt at length with the question of railroad legislation and industrial com binations, which he considers one of the principal issues of the campaign. The secretary entered the banquet hall arm in arm with Governor Shel don to the strains of "Hail Columbia, the banqueters rising and sending up cheers. During the serving of the menu an orchestra discoursed patriotic airs which brought a chorus of cheers "from the galleries where five thousand persons had gathered. Twelve hundred persons were seated at the banquet tables. William Allen White's Address. William Allen White spoke of "The American Business Alan." -He said: "Generally speaking, taking the country at large, and allowing for a few million exceptions, the people of this nation during the last thirty years of the nineteenth century devoted themselves to making more or less honest dollars. And again, speaking generally and allowing for a few an almost negligible few Irregularities by thieves In and out of jail, the dollars that were made were reasonably hon est dollars. And, finally, speaking gen erally again, and also allowing for the rascality of perhaps less than ten thou sand notable plunderers, the dollars made by those who accumulate them by wholesale, and in carload lots were Just as honestly acquired as the dollars made by doing .business in a small way. by the dozen or by the gross, retailing money in broken packages. The ethics of the time, frankly were the ethics of the time, and as the time is passing, let us admit frankly that they were the ethics of all of us, those of you who succeeded in storing away fortunes, and those of us who keep our accounts in the red. Some played the game bet ter than others, but practically all of us played by the same rules, and the object of the game was to win the prize, which was always a large, round, shin ing dollar. According to the rules of the game, when a man had a dollar in his possession, it was his dollar, and the gentleman who reached for that same dollar and only grabbed the thin and unsatisfactory atmosphere had no rights in the matter that the owner of the dollar was bound to respect. "Therefore, in those halcyon days, gentlemen who spent valuable time ex plaining how they might have won, generally addressed their remarks to the empty air, and caught the next train. For In those days this was a busy world, and the people had no time to spend listening to the minority re port. And so the world wagged on, and we were all a part of it, and all reason ably proud of it, and this is no time to rake over the tin cans covered by the statute of limitations and revive the famous suit of the pot against the kettle. .Had Their Places In the World. "For today, the nineteenth century methods of a business man like Mr. Carnegie has no more vital interest to the world than tne love aanirs or soi omon; indeed, the fact that Mr. Car negie pursued the dollar, 'coy, uncer tain, and hard to get,' in those unre- generate days, using more assiduity than tact, may be met with the coun ter statement that Solomon's multi farious courtships are probably more or less open to question under our rigor ous twentieth century standards. Yet Solomon and Mr.. Carnegie had their places in this world. And probably while both had the acquisitive spirit, each paid his penalty for it, and it is doubtful whether Solomon had more trouble reducing his vast accumulation of wives than Mr. Carnegie is having in getting rid of his money. And it is likely that the folly of Solomon in ac quiring a thousand wives at least 900 of whom were almost unnecessary, and oil intents and purposes useless, and in a way, superfluous and the equal folly of Mr. jamegie in sainenng aia hungry, vicious, interest earning, use less millions it Is likely that, the vain follies of these two well meaning and otherwise aamiraoie men win oe equal i i iicable to an enlightened pos terity. For, in the years that are com ing the lust for money and the love for' many women will.be set down by normally constituted persons as twin follies that bring their own punishing cares. It is not at all likely that we will ever lose either the Creosus or the flirt in this world. But as the centuries go by they will appeal to our tolerance rather than to our admiration. "It is something like 3,000 years since Solomon was the envy of the world. With his magnificent stock of staple and fancy domestic relations. Today a few fool may secretly envy him. In 3 000 years the same devil of greed may be in our blood that courses there (Continued on Page Eight) TUESDAY EVENING. THEIR BUSY DAT. The busiest people In town this after noon are the Edison company workers with their- hacks hauling voters to the election places. The polls are open till 6 o'clock and everything up to that time counts. If the city gives the corporation the lighting control, Topeka will pay more than It will cost to produce the light and will have $28,000 in bonds out with interest to pay and a "spiked" plant to show for them, as the Edison pro position for $50, couples with It the city's agreement to give the company the use of its poles and wire. In other words we pay the Edison price and we pay interest and prinicipal on bonds representing property we give the use of to the company for nothing and we render the rest of the property useless, for no one can use the city plant Its building and engines and boilers and dinamos with the poles and wire In the hands of the opposition. It's a shrewd scheme to get the city contract at a most profitable rate and spike the only opposition public light ing in the city. Does the city wish to pay interest and principal on $28,000 for a "dead horse?" The same people who are fighting the municipal plant today, fought the wa terworks plan. Now the oity has a plant which it could sell any day for a million dollars, but it is not for sale. Isn't it ridiculous to throw this light franchise to the Edison company, not only beg them to take it, and instead of charging them for a franchise, throw in with the franchise, the use of our poles and wires on which we kindly volunteer to pay the interest and prin cipal! As to the Commercial club it re versed itself twice on the municipal ownership of the waterworks It was for It, against It and for it. The Commercial club is all right when it stands by Topeka's institutions, but it gets a little wobbly at times, when It wittingly, or otherwise promotes the interests of corporations that live off the city against those working for the city. HALE CALLS A HALT. Senator Says We Are Spending Too Much on Army and Navy. Washington, April 7. The senate engaged for some time in the discus sion of a report printed in the Wash ington Post today to the effect that Secretary. Taft contemplated the in crease of the army so as to bring the number up to 125,000 men. The sub ject was introduced by Senator Hale, who" spoke of the enormous sum of $98,000,000 carried by the army ap propriation bill passed yesterday. He said that he did not know whether the author of the article had inside in formation, but he added that It was understood to be the plan of the chief of stanr or the army to double the present size of that organization. In this connection he mentioned the fact that this officer often acts as secretary of war "in the prolonged, frequent and necessary absence of the secretary." Mr. Hale expressed the hope that the program for such a vast increase would not be carried Into effect. He also pro nounced against the plan for four bat tleships and called attention to the fact that 70 per cent of the government's revenues were now being expanded on past, present and future wars, includ ing expenditures for pensions. Senator Hale traced the increase In military expenditures to the necessity for protecting the Philippines, which he Spoke of as a "pestilential curse." He made the prediction that the ex penses would continue to pile up until this government got rid of these is lands, i Senator Clapp expressing himself in sympathy with Senator Hale suggested reconsideration of the army bill with a view to modifying its provisions, but Mr. Hale replied that the naval bill, which would come before the senate before a great while would afford am ple opportunity for the senate to show its state of mind regarding military expenditures. Incidentally Mr. Hale expressed the opinion that the war talk between the United States and any other country was "nonsense." Senator Warner agreed that there was no probability of war, but he con tended that It is necessary to prepare for emergencies and said that we had not now sufficient munitions to support a campaign of an army for one month. Senator Hale then made a motion to re consider the vote by which the military bill was passed and Senator Burkett at tacked his motive in doing so, saying that in his opinion, the mtion was made for "the particular purpose of criticising a particular man who is now attracting at tention throughout the country." This comment was taken as a direct charge that the debate had been engineered to in jure Secretary Taft. The Nebraska senator-said the fact that Senator Hale had absented himself from the chamber after making the remark was an indication that the motion had not been, made in good faith At the conclusion of Senator Bur kett's remarks Senator Frye declared that the criticism upon his colleague was un just. He then moved to lay the resolu tion for reconsideration of the vote on the table, which was carried. CAN HAVE HER PRINCE. Mme. Gould's Family Finally Consents to Her Marriage. New York, April 7.

All except George Gould have consented to it. The latter is the custodian of his sister's property. ELECTION BULLETINS.

Forecast for Kansas: Showers tonight and Wed nesday; cooler Wednesday and in north portion tonight. TWO CENTO. VOTE JSUGI1T. Edison Company Exerting Erery j Effort Possible. Hacks Under Chaperonage of Bert Lucas Are Busy.

USED FOK COUNCILMAN Trying to Defeat Mun ideal Ownership Adrocates. Light Proposition Seems to Be Safe, Nerertheless. A comparatively light vote Is being' cast today at the municipal election Influenced by the lowering clouds and threatening showers. The women' voters especially are reluctant In geiiing, out to the polls and though extra efforts were put out far and be- n yond that usually exercised at an "off year" election through the medium of a plenitude of carriages and ward workers, the women could not be in- aucea to come out in large numbers. The Edison company which is at tempting to capture the city electric lighting contract and' rorce the city plant into the hands of wreckers, are bending every effort to defeat the bond issue. .Hacks at ten dollars each with workers who receive ample compensation for their day's work, have been engaged all day long with lavish hand hauling voters in the Fourth. Third and Fifth wards. Bert -Lucas, ex-sheriff. Is managing this end of the campaign for the Edison company and openly boasts of the fact The hacks and carriages In some Instances are working for Democrat candidates for coundlmen, and In each instances are reputed to be used In thej support of the Republican nominee. In the Fifth ward the hacks of the Edison company are said to be helping Skene, the Democrat nominee.. In this instance the rea Bon is not far afield. Councilman Tandy, the Republican nominee, is a strong municipal ownership man, Bert Lucas, who seems to be In charge of the hacks, told the Republi cans In the Third ward that he was, using his services incidentally to aid Councilman Blakely, the Republican. but leaders of that party were some what dubious about this assertion. One of the surprises of the day with regard to the bond election phase Is the support which the colored people are giving It. In the Second, First and Fourth wards, and for that matter In; all of the wards with the exception ef the Fifth, the colored vote seems to be going for the bonds. The First ward is giving Its support -largely to -the bonds;-there is no ques tion of how the great Second -feeW about the question; in the Third the sentiment favors the bonds notwith standing the money spent by the Edi son company there and in the Fourth "there is not much discussion;- the peo ple just go in and vote," as one of the: men put It. In the Fifth and Sixth -wards, especially in the Sixth, there was some unexpected strength shown for the continued municipal ownership of the city plant. In the First ward, the Democrats are conceding to C. E. Jordan, Republi- -can candidate for councilman, the fourth precinct. They claim, however, that they will carry all the remaining precincts. Scotten's forces have been -particularly active In the first and sec ond precincts where Slmms, former councilman, has thrown his support, against Jordan. On the other hand Jordan claims that he will secure three votes to Scotten's one. "The registra tion in the fourth precinct is heavier, than the second and third combined," said Jordan. "It will offset anything that they may have in those two peer, cincts." The Russian vote in the first precinct was not as well registered as expected and many of the Russian women who thought they were registered but were not were turned away disappointed. The famous Kaberlein family of Little Russia with Its numerous members -had but one voter who was properly registered. In the Second ward, the campaign carried on by C. K. Holliday was on a par with that of a year ago when he ran for mayor. Holliday has poured all sorts of money into the campaign and he had a machine as a conse quence that worked perfectly. Holli day without question will carry the Second ward. The only precinct he utands to lose to H. P. Miller, the Democrat nominee, is the Sixth which is Miller's home precinct. Miller threw his strength to the Third, Fourth and Sixth precincts and here will naturally show his heaviest vote. But Miller, will not cut any fig ure In the former two precincts. -Holliday had fully twenty hacks and livery rigs all carrying a white rib bon, the Holliday.- emblem. With every team there was a worker and every precinct voting place showed another. In the Fourth, Third and Sixth precincts Miller had carriages, but aside from this he had none. "His fund on which he is making the campaign amounted to Just $7," said one of his workers. "He can't -expect to do much with that and with Holliday promising bon bons to the women and all this other business." The old cry of wet and dry which has been raised at every campaign In the Second Is not an Issue this time, it is strictly almost without excep tion on party lines. In fact, wet and dry Is not being raised in any. of the wards. In the Third ward the vote was heavier than expected. The Third ward has a Democratic vote which is nominally one-third of the Republi can and this knowledge counteracts -any feeling of oppression that C. G. Blakely, the Republican nominee may have, though he will not have the majority that Green had two years ago when the latter ran for council man. W. F. Logan will cut down the difference and add strength to the Democratic ticket. In the Fourth ward, everything Is up in the air; Even Louis Fraser. the Democratic nominee for councilman. Is not claiming anything. Fraser may carry the third and second precincts, that's where his strength lies. Though Fraser is a law enforcement man.' the (Continued on Page Seven.)

A con fidential report has' reached Fort Leavenworth that Brigadier General Frederick Funston, the widely known Kansan, is to be the new commandant of the three army service schools here. General Funston will come on and take station here in August at the opening of the new school term, ac cording to the report. Major General Leonard Wood and Brigadier General William H. Carter were under consideration for this de tail, but the war department officials have finally decided to give It to Gen eral Funston. The commandant of the military schools at this post is one of the most important aa well as coveted details in the army and General Funston is to be congratulated over securing it.

The detail of commandant of the army service schools will be for two years at least and probably four years. At present General Funston is in command of the department of Cali fornia, with headquarters in San Fran cisco. He is the senior brigadier gen eral of the army, but It is not expect ed that he will be promoted to major general for some time yet. The head of the military educational schools at Fort Leavenworth, which are becoming moro important each year, is a splendid detail. In the past distinguished officers have been in charge of the schools. The first com mandant of the old infantry cavalry school, which was started by General W. T. Sherman in 1881, was General Elwell S. Otis, who held the place four years. He was succeeded by General Thomas S. Ruger. who was in com mand one year. General A. McD. Mc Cook came next and was at the head of the school four years. General Edwin F. Townsend followed him and was in command four years. General Hamilton S. Hawkins was the last commandant of the old infan try and cavalry school, and he was at the head when It suspended at the breaking out of the Spanish-American war in 1898. The commandants of the new military schools were General J. Franklin Bell, now chief of staff of the army, and General C. B. Hall, the present head. All commandants of the schools reached the rank of major general except General Hawkins, who retired as a brigadier. FUNSTON BUT ONE OF MANY.

Agenda, In Republic County, Is Fine Little Farm Town. Agenda, April 6. Some of the old timers are certain that Agenda is quite, 40 years old. How it took its name originally It is said some of the old pioneers searched Webster's dic tionary for it. About the time the Rock Island surveyors headed this way its name was changed to Neva, in honor of the wife of one of the surveyors. Another town of similar name so confused the postoffice auth orities that after a few months the Never Falls to RESTORE GRAY or FADED HAIR to Its NATURAL COLOR and BEAUTY No matter how long it has been gray or faded.

Agenda is in Republic county. While it is one of the best counties in stock and agriculture and has been in the front row of Kansas corn pro ducing counties, for a small town the people of Agenda will not take a back Beat for any town in the county so far as stock and grain shipments are concerned. The average output for stock and grain since the 1st of Oc tober, 1907, has been SI, 800 a month, while the cash receipts at the Rock Island depot from the sale of tickets averages $1,000 a month in the same period. The Agenda State bank, organized eighteen months ago, with a capital of 110,000. It now has deposits ag gregating $35,000, and loans amount ing to $25,000. The officers of the bank are: J. H. Houck, president, M, T. Madden, vice president, E. E. Balrd, cashier. The country tributary to Agenda is full of wealth. In alfalfa, hogs and cattle, it ranks first class. In grow ing corn it is good as the best. And here and there, on every side of the town, are the homes of the prosper ous farmers surrounded with a grove of timber, a fruit orchard and roomy barns and granaries, a perfect pic ture almost of wealth, health and happiness. Of the business needs of Agenda, a drug store, exclusive hardware and harness establishments are needed. There are two general stores of Chas. Costello and Stephen Bradley. The former owns the lumber interests, while the later is postmaster. Both firms do an immense produce trade. Frank Fulton operators the eleva tor, also handles an Immense lot of farm machinery. ruring a lull in business Mr. Fulton likes to attend a political convention. E. C.

There are two stock buyers, and another elevator Is a necessity. Proposition Is Now Under Con 6ideration. K. C. S. BREAKS ICE. To Operate Specials to Non competitire Points. Other Items of Interest- ill Eailwpy Circles. Contrary to the announcements made, by the railroads in various states at the time the two cent fare went into effect, the popular rate excursions which have been discontinued ever since the inauguration of this rate, may be put into effect again soon, probably before the present season Is very far advanced. This question is being considered by the passenger de partments of the various western roads. The Kansas City Southern road has already taken the lead In. this matter and has announced that they would run excursions this summer under re duced rates. Their plans, however, at the present time contemplate con-, fining the excursions to noncompetitive points on their line, such as Sulphur Springs, Siloam Springs and other re sorts which are located only on their line. They may, however, later on de cide to carry the excursion business to competitive points and the officials are already considering the feasibility of running excursions into Shreveport, La., which is a competitive point. The other roads in this section will undoubtedly be compelled to follow the lead of the Kansas City Southern. To allow one road to run excursions would be too much of a snap for- the one road and although there is still a good deal of opposition among some of the oads, it is the general consen sus of opinion that the excursion busi ness will soon again be on in full blast. The popular rate excursions during the summer season net the roads con siderable revenue. And it is revenue of a nature that is derived in no other way. it is generally considered as a "pickup." Last year before the two cent fare, all the railroads ran popular rate ex cursions and there was hardly a Sun day went by but what excursions were running in every direction. These Sunday excursions carry all the way from 200 to 500 excursionists. The majority of these excursions either ran from or into such towns as Topeka, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Joplin, Springfield, Kansas City, Fort Scott, Pittsburg, Moberly and St. Joseph and other towns of this class. And if all the roads go into this busi ness the excursions will have to be run to competitive points, as but few of the roads have any noncompetitive resorts which would Justify an excur sion. The popular rate excursion proposi tion, is now under consideration by pas senger officials and some definite an nouncement can be expected within a very short time. A SAFEGUARD TO PROPERTY. What Mr. Mohler of Union Pacific Says of Minnesota Decision. Commenting upon the decision of the United States supreme court in the Minnesota rate case, A. L. Mohler, vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific says: "While railroad rate legislation may be within the province of the in dividual states the decision of the fed eral court is simply another assurance that legislatures cannot make and en force arbitrary laws which are inimical to any great Industry with out review by the higher courts. The railroads are lawabiding and their rights should be safeguarded the same as those of individual citizens." Asked what effect the decision would have on the Union Pacific. Mr. Mohler replied that he could not now say, nor would he make any state ment as to probable action by his road until he could consult the legal department. Several Nebraska cases are pending in the courts against railroads, one of which is identical with the Minnesota law. FIGHT OVER PROHIBITION. K. C. Firm Would Compel Express Companies to Handle Booze. Washington, April 7. Refusal of express companies to accept shipment of beer and other liquors destined to points In prohibition states has re sulted In a complaint to the Inter state Commerce commission. The Royal Brewing company of Kansas City, Mo., has Instituted a complaint against the Adams, the Pacific and the American Express companies, the Wells Fareo Co.

Reports for the month of January show that the Union Pacific had approximately 1.500,000 engine miles with, a total cost of only $1,088 for train accidents. This good result Is attributed to the use of block sig nals, $2,000,000 having been expended for the installation of safety appli ances. Hand power and a pneumatic system have been displaced by elec tricity. It is impossible for an opera tor to give two trains the right of way at the same time. NEW HAVEN QUITS PIECE WORK. And a Long Threatened Strike Is Averted. New Haven, Conn., April 7. It can be stated semiofficially that the New York, New Haven Hartford will not enforce its order of March 10 extend ing the piecework plan now in opera tion in its shops. The settlement of this issue has followed conferences of committees representing the shopmen with officials of the road. In which it appears that the claims of the shop men have been conceded. What seem ed almost certain to be a strike of sev eral thousand workmen today is thus averted. TOTOfG WINCHSXtL QUITS. Does Not Think He Cares For Griefs of Railroad lAte. Denver, April 7. "I have given up my ambition to become a railroad man," said Benjamin I Wlnchell, Jr., son of President Wlnchell of the Chi cago, Rock Island Pacific railroad, who is in the city. "My father talked me out of it. He convinced me that there is too much grief connected with a railroad man's life." The younger "Ben" has abandoned plans which he had cherished for more than fifteen years. He took a course in an engineering school, work ed in the Baldwin locomotive factory six months, and spent most of his life on railroad lines learning the railroad business. ''He's going to follow in the old man's foot steps," was the prediction of men connected with the Colorado 4 Southern when his father was an officer of that road.

Frank Moss Machine Piloted Against Street Car by diaries Guibor. In a tournament between an auto mobile and a street car last night, the street car won by a straight lead for the spokes. While a "pleasant time was being bad" between Ninth and Tenth on Kansas avenue, incident to the shoot ing of a negro by a negro policeman, a. ..large-touring car rolled southward on the avenue, keeping the west side of the street, according to law. About half way between Ninth and Tenth, the car "went crazy," one side of the steer ing gear slipping, its moorings, and the car swerved suddenly to the left, made a complete circle, and was headed west across the street when it met a south bound Washburn car, which had been content to follow in the wake of the auto. The car struck the auto a blow on the nose, and partially capsized it, breaking all the spokes out of the right front wheel. The occupants of the car were uninjured, except in feelings, but the car was still resting "bows down" on the pavement this morning. The passengers In the car were Miss Ethel Estberg, Miss Floyd Robenson, Jerry Johnstone and Charles Guibor, who officiated at the wheel. The ma chine belongs to Frank Moss of St. Marys, who made the mistake of go ing out of town and leaving the buzz wagon, at home. Mr. Guibor hated to see the machine wasting its time in a barn, and took it out for exercise. Who Has Faith In Topeka? Financial history is full of authentic Instances of great fortunes made by wise investments Involving plans ex tending over considerable periods. To peka offers no doubt opportunities In great numbers for such operations. I have long had in mind one of these for which the time seems peculiarly fitting. It would no doubt take ten to twenty years in the working out, but the fathers who would now take it in hand would beyond question bestow greatly Increased estates upon their children. I am thinking of the preparation for occupation and use of the many acres along the meanderings of the Shunga nunga. These acres should not only be Jf or private profit, but as a matter of 'public Improvement, be reclaimed to ub. Everyone can readily see that a large part of this acreage, if now avail able, would be at once occupied for dwelling and other purposes to the ad vantage of the -population and the beautiflcation of the city as a whole. Another generation will demand the use of it, and if deferred its adaptation to use will demand two, three, five who can tell how many times as much as at this time, and its selling value will be greatly enhanced, quite probably in even greater proportion than the cost. As to promise of profit, who does not know that large areas in eastern cities now among the most valuable sites, occupied by Improvements counted m millions were within the memory of men living waste lands? One section In New York City known to this day as the swamp, was a veritable swamp in ollen times. Valuable sites In Al bany, N. Y., were years ago occupied by ponds or traversed by water courses. Lands estimated in value by very large sums are being reclaimed from the lake at Chicago. Persons familiar wit j other parts of the country are able no doubt to recall many similar cases. I am not a capitalist and can hope for no profit in this project except that In which every citizen may share the Cm Atnl JWa(lnailir Silk Soap ORa 9 bars 5JU Ben Hur Soap OEA J 7 bars..-. uJU 2 Ferd Dreisbach Q13 K a n sua si Auonun W Bell 291 Ind. 291-236 YARD 65c quality for. 49c 59o quality for .40c 50c quality for ...35c 45c quality for ...33c S9o quality for 30c 35c quality for 25c general improvement and beautiflcation of Topeka.

ALEN S. HUUtNG. THEY HAD TO SHOOT HIM A "Book Agent Stands Off Police and Firemen With a Gun. Montreal, Que., April 7. For five hours John Smith, a book agent kept a large posse of the Montreal police force and a detachment of the fire brigade at bay, killing one constable, wounding another and Chief Detective Carpenter before he was finally shot. Constables Foucoult and Shea were sent to a house in Mance street with a warrant for the arrest of Smith. Smith opened fire with a rifle, wound ing Foucoult and killing Shea. Assist ance was summoned. Streams of water were turned on both the front and the rear of the house, but Smith once more appeared at a window and fired at those stand ing in front. Carpenter was shot through the hand and hip. Urged on by the crowd, the police disregarded the order to take Smith, alive and 50 men began firing. They then rushed the place. Smith was found lylnsr on his bed wounded in three places, buW none 01 tne wounds appeared to be mortal. It is believed that Smith comes from the southern states and that Smith is not his right name. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by Mrs. Pritchard, his landlady, who alleges Smith threatened to kill her.

Plans of Central Park School Ordered Modified. The action taken by the members of the school board at the regular month ly meeting held last night indicates that the plans for the Central Park school houses adopted at a meeting a month or so ago will be so changed that the original plans will hardly be recognized. The changes have been made for a number of reasons. In the first place the roof win be almost flat and the plans for lighting have been greatly changed. .The recent agitation relative to safe ty from fire has caused a number of other Important changes to be made in conformity with the opinion of Fire Marshal 'Wilmarth. The floor plans for the structure will remain about as they were in the original plans, though iron stairways will be provided in place of the wooden affairs originally planned. It is expected that the building will cost about $40,000 and the style of brick has not been agreed upon though it is likely that pressed brick of a grey color will be used. The central portion of the front of the building will be liberal ly supplied with windows and exits while the wings on either corner will present a solid, surface free from open ings of any kind. If the sugggestion of J. W.: Gleed is followed a huge map of either hemisphere will adorn the smooth blank walls. An attempt will be .made by the architects and members of the school board to make this building as modern in every way as possible and especial attention will be paid to the lighting scheme. The floors of the room locat ed over the boiler room will be of steel as a precaution against explosions or fire and the brick partitions will extend from the basement to the roof and act as fire walls. Fire Marshal Wilmarth filed his re port last night after having made a thorough Inspection of all of the school buildings in the city and while the re port indicates that the buildings as a rule are in good shape as far as fire Is concerned minor changes were sug gested in almost every instance where the inspection was made. V In most instances the changes sug gested though important are easily made and in many instances amount to changes of doors and windows so that they will open more freely in case of a fire. Many of the doors open in ward and the fire marshal has suggest ed that a change be made immediately so that these exits will be closed by doors opening outward.- The board has already made a number of the minor changes suggested and the remainder of the suggestions will be carried out immediately. -J Fire escapes 'will be placed on all of the buildings as soon as possible, plans for a number of them being adopted at last "night's meeting,-- where the building exceeds two" stories in height. J. C. Holland submitted plans for fire escapes for the high school and the Lincoln school building which were adopted. George Brooks of the Capital Iron Works appeared before the board with plans for a fire escape which is something new as far as Topeka is concerned and seem to possess many points of advantage. This escape is a modification of the spiral stair way and is widened so that it makes the encllne less great than In the original spiral escape plan. Chief Wilmarth insists that immediate steps be taken to supply the manual training, the Lincoln street school and the man ual training buildings with escapes. The plans for the construction of the manual -school buildings included fire escapes to conform with the state law but for some reason they were never placed on the building. J In his trip of inspection about the school buildings of the city the fire marshal discovered that In many in stances the hose and other fire- fighting paraphernalia Is out of repair on ac count of lack of use. The school board has promised to see to it that this de fect is remedied at the earliest possible moment. It is possible that all of the buildings nn the city wlU be equipped with fire extinguishers, a representa tive of a firm manufacturing them ap pearing before the board last night.- The bill of L. M. Wood for plans sub mitted nearly two years ago for the Central Park school building for $450 bobbed up again with the proposition of Mr. Wood to deduct one-half if paid at once. The members of the board did not look With favor upon the bill even for this sum and the matter was again referred back to the building commit tee with the suggestion that a meeting be arranged with Mr. Wood, former members of the board Zimmerman and Wilson with a view of determining the liability of the board for any part of the bill. One of the plans for a fire escape for the high school building contemplates a stairway on the rear of the building for the daily use of pupils in leaving the auditorium. It is more than likely that plans for the manual training and high school buildings will not be com pleted until it is determined if it is not possible to build them in conjunc tion with a steel viaduct connecting the two buildings. THINKS HIS JAW IS BROKEX. Patient Willi Queer Delusion Brought to State Hospital. John R. Ashcrof t. sheriff of Graham county, F. D. Turck, county attorney of the same county and a crazy man from near Hill City named McClure ap Deared at the Topeka state hospital for the insane this morning. Mr. McClure has been somewhat unbalanced lor some time, but he has been kept at the home of his father. He has accumu lated about $800 worth of property, and this will be used to pay his expenses at the asylum as a private patient. Mr. McClure has the delusion that his law is broken, and that he is suf fering from a number of very serious physical ailments, none oi wnicn exist. Win Help in Joint Suits. Charles D. Shukers, assistant attor ney general, will go to Goodland, Kan., today to assist the county attorney in the trial of six criminal cases ana six injunction suits against jointists.

The men who robbed the bank are thought to be in this vicinity. The en gineer on a Rock Island sneclnl nn. senger train noted two hand cars about a mne out of town by the side of the track as the- train came into Horton at about 3 o'clock this mnrntnir It 1m thought they are the cars the robbers cu uura nuron on.

About $6,500 taken. Look out for and arrest burglars. Four to six men went north on a hand car. $100 reward for ap prehension and -conviction- of each burglar. Huron State Bank." Chief Eaton received the above mes sage at an early hour this morning. A phone message from Huron at a still earlier hour first apprised the local police of the robbery. Two suspects were arrested here by the officers this morning. They were captured in a rooming house, but after sweating them and examining their papers and hear ing the testimony of the other lodgers at the house, the men were released for lack of evidence. Chief Eaton does not believe that the robbers will come this way, as the message stated they were going north from Huron and that town is over 100 miles north of Topeka.
