Announces He Will Again Pre sent Matter to Grand Jury. Attorney Wilson Denied Right to Present Eridence There. H. H. Tucker, jr., formerly secre tary of the Uncle Sam Oil company and its promoter, who has been in dicted twice for using the mails to defraud in connection with the pro motion of the oil company, again loosed himself from the meshes of the law and secured the quashing of the second indictment today. The first Indictment handed down tras quashed last fall by Judge D. B. Dyer of St. Louis, in the United Btat.es district court, on the statement by the court that the Indictment was Hot properly drawn. Tucker was then reindicted last January by a federal grand jury and a demurrer to this Indictment was filed with Judge Charles F. Amidon of North Dakota, who came here to preside, by Tucker's attorney Albert Wilson. The demurrer asked that the in dictment be quashed because it was too vague and Indefinite and did not state clearly either that Tucker per sonally profited by reason of the alleged scheme to defraud nor In what manner the scheme to defraud was devised. Judge Amidon held In these two particulars for Tucker and decided that the indictment should have been drawn up in more detailed form, sus taining the demurrer. The same bond which Tucker gave last fall, one of $10,000. will remain in force and effect until the hearing has been finally concluded. H. J. Bone. United States district attorney, stated that he would Im mediately ask the federal grand jury which reconvened this morning to re indict Tucker a third time. The mat ter will be presented to the grand Jury on Wednesday and it is prob able that the hearing on the third indictment, which probably will be returned, will take place this week. It is a peculiar feature of the case that the first indictment drawn was practically on the lines suggested this morning by Judge Amidon, but which failed to meet the approval of Judge Dyer last fall. Judge Dyer made suggestions for" the drawing up of a proper indictment upon a form which was followed implicitly in turn, but which Judge Amidon does not favor. If Judge Dyer had sat on this case as he had Intended there would have been no trouble about upholding the indictment desired," said one attor ney. Amidon Tells Why. "Iam entirely satisfied,' said Judge Amidon, "that it would be unwise to go forward with this case that is open to such grave criticism. The in dictment proceeds on the possible grounds for a scheme to defraud. In the beginning the scheme is given as selling of stock in a company and conversion of it for the personal use of Mr. Tucker. If that was It, it is essential to set out the steps or meth ods by which Tucker was to accom plish it. Later it is given that the stock was sold for more than it is worth. There the fraudulent element in the deception practiced is in the sale of stock. In such a scheme the facts constituting the misrepresenta tion should be set forth. All the de cisions of the supreme court from the early time up until the present time have held that an indictment that does not set forth the elements of the scheme to defraud Is not dis. tinctlve enough. An indictment that does not set forth the elements Is fa tally defective. This indictment is wholly inadequate to satisfy this rule. The averrments regarding the cor poration are informal if not repug nant. The averrments regarding the sale of stock are such as would be condemned In either civil or criminal courts. I do not think it wise to go through With the trial under the in dictment. "I feel that if we had gone ahead we would be reversed later. It is un fortunate for the government and for the defendant that there should be so much delay. It is important that the case be concluded. The pleadings should be such that they should be beyond any reasonable doubt." H. J. Bone, United States district attorney, announced to the court his intention of representing the matter to the grand jury; At this Albert Wilson, attorney for Tucker, asked the court if he could not have Tucker's witnesses brought before the grand jury. He took a slam at the government's method of securing indictments saying: "It does seem to me that the two grand juries in the past have been induced to re turn Indictments." "This case is not to be tried before the grand jury. The grand jury is not a tribunal," said Judge Amidon in refusing the request. "I don't care to have that matter discussed." He intimated that if Wilson had any complaints to make he could file them privately wun tne court. The Indictment simply went into the statement that a company was organized in which Tucker's official connection was set forth. That a scheme and artifice to defraud was devised in the sale of the stock and that the United States mails were used in the furtherance of such scheme citing three instances in which letters were, mailed to three different parties. The indictment asked for .contained three counts count for each letter mailed. The defendants claimed that the exact time when the scheme was devised should be given, what the details of the scheme were, and how Tucker as an officer converted the proceeds of the stock to nis own personal use. In addition a mass of technicalities were Introduced but were brushed aside by Judge Amidon who held that TUESDAY EVENING. the allegations as to the artifice or scheme to defraud were not sufficient and clear enough and that the facts by which Tucker converted or in tended to convert the proceeds from the sale of stock to his own personal use were not sufficiently set out. People Believe in Him. That H. H. Tucker still has a large following who believe in him im plicitly enough to hand over $139,000, is the statement made by Russell P. Goodwin, assistant attorney general for the postofflce department, who filed additional charges and findings against the promoter of the Uncle Sam Oil company. He says: "It is amazing to receive the admission made by Tucker that since his indictment and the public exposure of his promotion of the con cern as fraudulent, he has obtained from these investors about $139,000 on account of the defense and assess ment funds. He did not indicate how much was given to the one fund or the other. He states that he is now receiving money on the assessment circular at the rate of $1,500 a day. The size of the return indicates that the circular has been very per sauslve." He states that most of the statements contained in the circular are untrue as regards the present financial condition of the company. He continues the assertion that Tucker kept no adequate system of accounts and that he himself does not know to a certainty how many stockholders there are in the com pany. That the two dividends de clared on the Uncle Sam oil stock be fore the bankruptcy proceedings were based on figures turned in by the stockholders themselves. Tucker hav ing kept no record of tne payments made on the stock. "From the time that the affairs of the company were taken by the court of bankruptcy," said Mr. Goodwin, "out of Mr. Tucker's hands he has continually been appealing to those whom he induced to buy stock in the corporation, with respect to which he is now under indictment on the charge of having used the mails to conduct a scheme to defraud, asking those persons for money as a so called defense fund. In January of this year he caused to be prepared and circulated among the 9,000 stock holders of this concern a circular soliciting those persons to send through the mails to him personally at Kansas City. Kan., for the corpora tion, four cents for each share of the capital stock of said corporation held by the said persons as an assessment levied by upon the stock of the cor poration by the stockholders thereof, and representing that said assessment was necessary among other things to pay the debts of the company and take it out of bankruptcy and to com plete its plans and place It upon a full operating basis, by completing at an expense of about $150,000 the pipe line of the company to its refinery at Atchison, Kan., and by erecting at an expense of about $50,000 certain wax works at that point. These circulars represent that if the assessment is paid there will be issued to the per son so paying further capital stock in the company at the rate of one share of stock for each ten cents of as sessment, but threatened on the other hand that if the assessment is not paid the stock held by the person so failing to pay the same will be for feited to the corporation by action of its directors." Judge Amidon said this afternoon that his action in the Uncle Sam case is informal and he will hand down a formal decision later. WILL HEAR JOE BAKER. Man Who Has Defied the Stock Tarda Combine. "Joe" Baker, the "head scab" of the Kansas City stock yards, will be the star witness today at the resumption of the stock yards investigation which Attorney General F. S. Jackson Is making in that city. The proceeding is the taking of depositions to be used in the antitrust case against the stock yards. Joe Baker is one of the most expert cattle buyers in the business, whom the combine tried repeatedly to drive oft the stock exchange and failed. He is about the only one of the buyers who managed to survive the attacks or the combine. He operated for one commission man after another, but re fused to conduct his business accora- ing to the rules of the stock yards companies, and has a record of havine been discharged, at the dictation of the combine, from six different companies. tie tnen organized a company of his own, and has been trying to "buck" both of the old companies. It is expected that the taklne of testimony in the stock yards case will continue most of the week. ARE WATCHING CUBA. Health Authorities Guarding Against Possible Yellow Fever. New Orleans, Aoril 21. The pre cautions taken to safeguard the United states from yellow fever infection from Cuba were described In an In terview today by Dr. John N. Thomas. assistant surgeon of the Marine hos pital service, who arrived yesterday from Havana. He said that the names and destination of all passengers for the United States are taken and for warded with the vessel on which they sail to the port physicians of southern ports in the United States and those officers keen such passengers under surveillance for six days after removal, so that if sickness occurs it is auicklv aeteciea, ana it it is or an infectious nature, the proper measures can be taken to prevent its spread. ur. inuiiias aaaea: vvitn our present knowledge of how to stamp out and prevent the spread of yellow fever, there is no necessity for any nysiencs or panics, snouid a case of tne disease De discovered In anv mm munity.

Representatives of 774 Dally Papers Submit an Address To the President and Congress on the Paper Trust. LANGUAGE IS PLAIN. Call Attention io Dilatory Tac tics That Are Employed. And to False Figures Submitted by Censns Bureau. New York, April 21. The following address was adopted at the annual meeting of the Associated Press today: "Representatives of 774 daily news papers gathered at the annual meeting of the Associated Press, respectfully ask the president and the congress to grant immediate relief from the ac tions of combinations of paper makers. In September, 1907, and again in No vember, 1907, the attention of the au thorities was directed to the excessive prices then demanded by the paper combination. Immediately upon the assembling of congress, 20 or more bills, aiming to correct these conditions and to put paper and wood pulp on the free list were introduced and referred to the ways and. means committee. Persist ent efforts to obtaining a hearing have been refused. Dilatory tactics have been employed to prolong present con ditions and to carry over to another session of congress legislation designed for relief. Newspapers here represent ed protest against delay. "Attention la also directed to the false figures of news print paper prices which were recently furnished to congress by the director of the cen sus bureau. The newspapers here rep resented use aproximately eighty per cent of the news print paper consumed in the United States. We denounce the quotations submitted to corgress as misleading and unworthy of credence. The reiteration of the accuracy of these figures of the director after the error had been called to public attention tends to shake public confidence and respect for statistics thus compiled." Miller on the Committee. Washington, April 21. The report er of the committee in the Cannon resolution announced the following as members of the committee to make the proposed Investigation of the paper trust. Mann (111..) Miller. (Kan..) Staf ford (Wis.,) Bannon (O.,) Sims (Tenn.,) Ryan (N. T.) The report provides for a select committee of six and was passed un der suspension of the rules. j In explanation of the resolution Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) said, it was a mat ter of public notoriety that there had been a large increase in the price of paper. Never, he declared had there been such an agitation as had been aroused by the newspapers the last few weeks. While there was a consensus of opinion he said as to the increase there was no consensus as to the cause of that increase. It was.' he said, capable of mathematical demon stration that the Increase was not due to the tariff and he contended that it would not be changed by the re moval of the tariff. However, that may be, he said, there were those who believed that the increase was due to a combination or trust, ana it was necessary to get the facts upon which to base a bill to meet the case. i In the opinion' of Mr. Williams the rise in price was aue notn to tne tariff and the combination and the combination is due to the tariff." If he said, it had been intended to kill the combination. It could have been done by putting wood pulp and print caper on the tree list. Mr. DeArmona (moj aeciarea mat the resolution was but another attempt of the Republicans to delude the peo ple, "and make them believe there is an attempt to do sometnmg wnen tne direct attempt is to do nothing." JNO. N. BALDWIN DEAD. General Solicitor of Union Pacific Victim of Bright's Disease. Omaha, Neb'., April 21. The fu neral of John N. Baldwin, general solicitor of the Union Pacific railway. who died at his home Sunday night. was held this afternoon. He had been afflicted with Bright's disease for two years and had been unable to give at tention to his duties for three months. Ten days ago he was forced to take to his bed, since which his physicians have had little hope for his recovery. Mr. Baldwin was appointed general solicitor of the Union Pacific road about two years ago, but has been connected with the legal department of that road for more than twenty- nine years. He was a graduate of University of Iowa and has always been a cor poration attorney. He has a son, John N., jr., who is attending school at Norwalk, Conn. N. H. Loomis. R. W. Blair and Henry A.

Must Close Up Leavenworth Sa loons for All Time. THE SUNDAY ORDEK. This Is What Brought Out Re cent Action. Next Thing May; Be an Ouster Suit. Attorney General F. S. Jackson has sent a sharp letter to Mayor E. W. Crancer of Leavenworth, demanding that he immediately close up the Leav enworth saloons. This letter was called forth by the announcement in the Leavenworth Times that Mayor Crancer had ordered all the saloons to. close at midnight every night, and' remain closed over Sunday. It was announced by the Times that this order would be obeyed by the saloon men. Attorney General Jackson, in his letter, reminds Mayor Crancer that the mayor promised to clean un the town if given an opportunity. Mr. Jackson says that in his judgment the mayor is not keeping his promise, and that he desires to know what the meaning of the mayor's "Sunday closing" order is. Mayor Crancer is informed that if he has authority to issue and enforce the order which it is announced he has is sued, he also has authority to close the saloons permanently, and this, Mr. Jackson says,' is what he is expected to do without any delay. The probability is that unless Mayor Crancer gets busy without any further delay, he will have to face charges of ouster, or possibly contempt of court. Leavenworth is one of the Kansas towns which is making the hardest fight to retain its open saloons. Whether it is collecting any revenue from these places still remains some what of a mystery, but the probability is that some way has been found for avoiding the strict provisions of the law. A town usually doesn't permit saloons to run without some financial return for the concession. There are a lot of suits pending in the Leavenworth county district court which were brought through the direct Influence of Attorney General Jackson. Charles D. Shukers, assistant attorney general, is conducting these suits. Within a short time these suits will come on for hearing. The district judge is unfriendly to the closing of the sa loons, and doesn't believe in the law. Anything which the state gets in his court will have to. obtained by hard fighting, and there, won t be anything taken for granted.' Consequently it Is a difficult proposition for the state to enforce the law. Meantime the state has been trying to get a grip on the Klondike situa tion. Assistant Attorney General Shukers went to Leavenworth a few days ago, and has a conference with the officers of the soldiers' home, who had raised a howl about the Klondike, and had "demanded" that the vicious dives there be closed. It seems that one particular place was what the sol diers' home officials were after. In that place an old soldier had been robbed, and the home officers seemed to want to put that one joint out of business. They claim that it is very difficult for them to give the state any evidence against the Klondike because the old soldiers won't tell on the keepers of these dives. However, they promised to see what they could do in the way of evidence. WHY AT ABILENE. Explanation of Location of Attack on Insurance Trust. "How did it happen that Abilene was selected as the place to start the fire insurance Investigation? was asked today of one of the assistant attorney generals who Is interested in prosecut ing that case. 'The reason was rather a peculiar one, was the reply. "As nearly as we can find out. it seems that the Insur ance companies determined to increase their rates here in Kansas from 25 to 40 per cent as rapidly as possible, in order to make Kansas pay a large share of the San Francisco fire losses. They sent out from the Eldridge bu reau a man to 'examine wirings.' This man was sent to Abilene, because it happened that Abilene was the first town in the alphabetical list of the larger Kansas towns. The man made a very cursory examination or the wiring, found nearly everything defec tive, and the result was that the In surance companies promptly attempt ed to increase their Abilene rates about 30 per cent. Immediately there went up such a howl that the insurance companies hesitated in their campaign for a general extension of the new rates, and thus far Abilene is the only one where the rates were attempted to be generally enforced. In some towns they charge the new rates for new policies, but old policies are be ing renewed generally at the old rates." TO START AN INQUIRY. Federal Court to Investigate Wrap ping Paper Business. New York, April 21 It became known today that a federal judge is about to begin an investigation of several of the largest manufacturers of Manila wrapping paper in this state. The pur pose of the inquiry is to ascertain whether or not the manufacturers are conducting their business under an agreement in restraint of trade and in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The officers of some manufacturing companies, who are not affiliated with the international company, have been subpoenaed to appear before the fed eral grand Jury in this city tomorrow. This investigation is believed to have no connection with the government's inquiry into the affairs of the socalled paper trust and, it is understood, does not involve those companies which make a specialty of white print paper 1908. TAKE 0UT42 DEAD Rescuers Are Still Digging in the Wreckage for Others. Frightful Collision 'of Trains Near Melbourne, Australia. COACHES CAUGHT FIRE Many of the Victims Were Burned Beyond Recognition. Brakes Failed to Work in Re sponse to Signals. Melbourne, Australia, April 21. Forty-two bodies have been taken out of a wreck caused by the collision of two trains, from Ballarat and Bendigo, respectively, at Braybrook Junction, about eight miles from Melbourne. It is believed that several others are still buried under the debris. The number of persons injured is placed at 88. Many of the victims had entered the Ballarat train at Braybrook and were just about settling in their seats when the crash came. The conductor had signalled to the engineer to start the train and was in the act of stepping into the car when he saw the ap proaching Bendigo train. He sprang aside in time to save himself. The coaches causrht fire and many of tne victims were burned beyond recog nition. A member of the fire brigade found the bodies of his two sisters buried in the wreckage. Several of the victims died as they were being lifted from the wreck. The driver of the Bendigo train says that he saw the signals and when the Drakes failed to work he reversed the engine but was unable to check the train. MAKES IT A HOLIDAY.

Here It Has Been Sultry and Threat ening, That la All. The climatic conditions todav would be described by the agricultur ist is "growing weather" and this description is about as complete as can be made. While the temnera- tures are not quite as high to day as mose or yesterday, there is -plenty of heat abroad to encourage plant life. There have been short intervals when the sun's rays have penetrated thin strata of clouds indicative of possible showers, but it has shone bright and clear most of the time. T.he guess of the weather depart ment is that cloudy and threatening weather will prevail tomorrow, par ticularly in central and western Kan sas. A light rain fell at Concordia early this morning and central and western Kansas in general was visit ed with showers during yesterday and last night the indications being that the heaviest precipitation occurred in the extreme western and southwest ern, part of the state. The wind has been blowing from the southeast all morning, in Topeka at the rate of twelve miles an hour. The maximum temperature for the entire state Mon day was a fraction above 80 degrees.

More Than 2,000 Theater Cases Dis missed at Kansas City. Kansas City. Mo., April 21. More than two thousand cases against thea ter people, actors, managers and others employed m Kansas city piay houses which were Drought as a re. suit of the Sunday observance crusade started by Judge William H. Wallace of the criminal court last September, were wiped off the docket of the court when T. B. Kimbrell, prosecuting at torney of Jackson county, made a motion to dismiss them. This move on the part of the state came after Judge Wallace had decided to obey the order of the Supreme court and had transferred all of the Sunday closing cases to Judge Porterfield's division of the criminal court, ah theater cases started since last September and up to the Indictments returned April 3 are included m the list. There are now on the docket about three hundred cases which have been started during the past three weeks. According to Mr. Kim brell it will take all summer to try these cases. The total amount of bonds put up to secure the release of the various actors arrested since the crusade started Is close to $1,000,000. A ma jority of the leading vaudeville and burlesque actors of the country had been indicted. The attorneys for the theater people are not entirely pleased with the "turn matters have taken. The action leaves only live cases on the docket and It had been the hope of the theater attorneys that the old cases would be tried first In which they stood a good chance to secure acquittals. After a dozen or so acquittals they expected to demand that all the cases be dismissed. TO AVOID ACTION. Cannon Would Torn Wood Pulp Ques tion Over to a Committee. Washington, April 21.

Stewart of Brooklyn Looms Up as a Coming Man. Is a Bright Possibility In the Heary weight Class. (it Mas knockout blow Broke Jack Bonner's Bib in a Summit Hill Bout. Stopped Eight Men in a Half Tear of Fighting. New York, April 2L It's many a year since Brooklyn, once the home of champions, has boasted of having one. But It looks like it will not be long before a premier In the pugilistic rBrooknWrlt hIS Milt pte6 That statement will hardly cause a f"essingr contest. Every enthusiast of tno boxing game across the bridge, and, in fact, wherever there is one In the greater city, has heard of Jim Stewart, protege of Billy Elmer, once a great fighter himself and today one or the leading instructors of the game. Stewarts latest feat was In stopping Jack Bonner, of Summit HilL He hit him so hard that he broke one of Jack's ribs, Stewart will be 21 next June. It's a little more than six months ago that he started in boxing. He took to the profession like any one would to an other. It was with no mercenary ob ject that he broke into It. Being a big, powerful fellow, he longed for ex ercise and ran against Billy Elmer, who invited him to his gymnasium, whloh was then located up on Sixty fifth street and Broadway. Elmer saw the fighter in him and Induced him to take up the game.' He did, and in those six months that have passed since he first glanced at the instrue tor he has scored eight knockouts. All told, he has had nine fights, and the worst he got was a draw with the experienced Fred Bradley. Later Mr. Bradley paid for whatever lesson he may have taught, tor Stewart knock ed him Out in their second meeting. Stewart by occupation is a draughts man in Brooklyn, and IS quite able to make a living at that, but he likes the fighting game. He is in no way afraid of punishment, and is Capable of taking as good a beating as he can deal out. This Is vouched for by sev eral members of Elmer's club, who saw him in a six round bout with big Joe Jeanette. It was Elmer's idea to find out if the big Brooklyn boy's heart was in the right place. He sent Jeanette after the youngster and told them not to stop. For six rounds the pair hammered each other around, and at the end the' colored boy was Just as tired as his young foe. He gave a beating and In giving it took One. Of course, Stewart did not display the knowledge ot the game that did Jean ette, but he did welL It Is probably a good thing for the colored one that Stewart knew so little. Anyway, after that the youngster worked with Jeanette; and gained a lot of experience. VTben he was put on to fight, and rhas mads good ever since. If he continues 1 to climb as rapidly in the next year as he has in the last six 'months, Tommy Burns will have another fellow to think about. 1 Stewart has the physique of a fight er. In action he reminds the old- timers of Jim Corbett, when the lat- ter was champion. His build Is al-: most like "Gentleman Jim's." He Is quick on his feet and with his hands, and has, as has been said before, a sleep-producing wallop in either hand. He Is always cool-headed, and the success he has attained has In no way changed his temperament. His first serious fight was with Bob Ward, heralded as a good one from the coast. Ward had the advice or. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien to act on, but Stewart's wallops were more ef fective, and Ward took to the mat fori the count of 10 in the second round. He not only outboxed the more ex perienced Ward, but gave him a beat ing such as o Jrlen never cua in tne training stable. TJNHOLZ TO MEET GAXS. The Boer Changes His Plans and Calls Off Match With Nelson. San Francisco. CaL. April 21. Boer Unholz, who came to San Francisco for the express purpose of fighting Bat tling Nelson before Jimmy Corrroth'S club, switched to the Gleason camp and has agreed to fight Joe Ganx Thursday evening. May 14, twenty rounds, at the Coliseum rink. The Boer explains the change par tially by claiming that Nelson owes him money, but the main reason Is the guarantee Gleason has made. The Boer is to receive $3,000, win, lose or draw, and it Is rumored he will get as much as $5,000 for Jumping the fence. At all events, he has signed, and the Unhola-Nelson match is off. The articles call for twenty rounds for the light-weight championship of the world, at 13S pounds ringside, strip ped, straight Queens berry rules. It is also stipulated that Gleason guaran tees TJnholz $8,000. win, lose or draw, with an additional privilege of 25 per cent of the receipts If the house draws more than $3,000 would represent. Glea son is to post $3,000 with Joe Thomas, and Unhols and Gans are each to post $1,500 forfeits with John Clark. The fight will probably not be so good as the one between Nelson and Unholz, as the Boer has but little hope of winning against the champion, but Gleason counts on the eagerness of the sailors of the fleet to see Gans In a real prize flght. He expects to have a $20,000 house. JEFF AJTD CORBETT TO MEET. Old Timers in the Ring at Los An geles Wind Up With a Race. Los Angeles. Cel., April 21. -Jim Jef fries and Jim Corbett met in the ring a few days ago for the third time. Twice previously they Jumped out of their corners at the sound of the gong to battle for thousands of dollars and fame. This time the two men met as old time friends In Jefferies new arena. The men acted like schoolboys. As they advanced to the center of the ring Jeff made a quick lunge. Like light ning Corbett feinted and poked Jeffries lightly In the face. Jeffries showed Corbett how he knocked him out with a left to the stomach. This illustra tion led to, an argument, and Jeff said: "I beat you because I could run faster and then slipped one over." Corbett denied Jeff was fleeter of foot. Jeffries proposed they settle the question by a hundred yard dash. Cor bett declined, but agreed to fifty yards. Both then slipped off their coats and the race was on. Corbett winning by a small margin. STANDING OF THE TEAMS. American Afwortatfon. Clubs- Won. Lost. Pet.

Captain of White Sox Says Lajole'S Pitchers Should win. Chieasro, April 21. Manager Jones, of th Chicago White Sox, who is not much given to words, after carefully doping out the chances for the pen nant, has decided that Cleveland Is the team the Sox will have to beat. He does not fear the New York Americans as much as he does Lajole's braves, and he does not even rate Jennings' Tigers in the top class. "I believe that aU the American league teams have been strengthened this year to some extent, the Detroit probably the least." Says the manager. "Cleveland Is the team we will have to beat. They have always lacked pitchers in the past, but to my way of thinking; they have them this year. The whole bunch of stars should be there this year. "In reality when working right, Laioie has about as classy a bunch ot twirlers as any team ever had. We hare some twirlers ourselves, but Cleveland is the only team I really fear. "I don't think Donovan, for Detroit will be able to repeat, and Z am look ing for both Crawford and Cobb to slump some. New Tork American are mighty fast, but I think we can beat Griffith's bunch. Any left-hander could beat the St. Louis Browns the last three years, but not so the com ing season, and McAleer's men may give the rest some trouble. The Athletics do not seem to have strengthened as much as some ot the other teams. "Washington has a shifty team and Boston has a lot of new men, and some of them may figure In the race. But taking all the teams, one by one, I don't see where we haven't th best chance of any, and I am not count teg on any of our new men with the exception of Parent, either." OFFERS A $20,000 PURSE.

In it Miss Roberts enacts the role of Hester Trent, which made Mar garet Anglin famous. For the pur pose of the plan Hester becomes a "Magdalene." The crisis comes when the woman whose name and place she has stepped Into, returns and claims her own. At this point a scene of consummate power is played between the two. It is a heart-rending duel of emotion that stirs and thrills the audience- as no other play has done. In addition, the piece abounds in strong situations lines penned with a masterly hand and a dialogue both brilliant and interesting. In order that Miss Roberts and this dramatic masterpiece might be seen to every advantage a strong cast has been provided. The scenic settings are Identical with those used during the long successful run of the play at the Princess theater in New York.

In a line northeast from Shawnee to a di rect connection with St. Louis lines. Both the Santa Fe and the Frisco have in the past surveyed lines from Shaw nee toward Muskogee, giving the con nection desired, and citizens Consider the line a very feasible one. DO H. NEW SUPERINTENDENT. H. From official sources the informa tion has been obtained that a great deal of misrepresentation has been made in regard to the Erie's financier ing and that consequently the public nave not been placed in possession of the actual facts. In a word, the manv reports of friction between J. P. Mor gan Co. and Edward H. Harriman are said to be without foundation, ac cording to a trustworthy authority who knows and who' his been present, as a member of the board, at the vari ous conferences recently held. The following statement has been Issued from a source which can be thorough ly depended upon: So much confusion has been cre ated in regard to the Erie note issue and the steps that ted up to it that the public will be interested to have the correct version of the whole affair. The directors of the Erie did not wait until the eleventh hour before consid ering ways and means of providing for the road's financial requirements. The subject was taken up in due time and was given the fullest possible con- siaeration. At ail times the controlling financial interests were willing to do their full share and even more, and their attitude and action all along met with the approval of all the members of the board. Differences of opinion were naturally expressed from time to time before a definite plan was de cided upon. The- problem confronting the directorate was not merely that of providing for the $5,500,000 due on April 8, but involved the making of adequate provision for numerous fu ture obligations. The delays that oc curred were in considerable measure due to the fact that every suggestion had to be submitted to the public ser vice commission for approval; this body naturally was not always able to give the matter an Immediate reply. Then Mr. Morgan's counsel was occa sionally sought and this meant delay. The financial plan as finally adopt ed represents harmonious action by all interests in the company. The cor respondence that passed between the Erie railroad. J. P. Morgan Co. and E. H. Harriman was not the result of an afterthought on the part of Mr. Harriman, but merely put on record an agreement arrived-, -at after full dis cussion among the- directors and the road's bankers. This agreement was drawn up in Morgaa-& Co.'s office and afterward signed by Mr.- Harriman. "In conclusion it should be stated that the plan as finally .endorsed pro vides not only for the matured notes but will insure the carrying ,of the Erie through the present period of de pressed earnings, or, say, the next three years."

Kan., in 1896, to work for A. O'Hara, who was then superintendent of the Kansas division. Mr. Brown was transferred back to Monett in 1898 as trainmaster. In 1900 he was sent to Neodesha, Kan, as trainmaster. In 1902 he was sent to Springfield in the same capaci ty, and in 1903 he went back to Neode sha as superintendent.

The senate today passed on third reading the Stafford bill requiring destination weights on coal and requiring the rail roads to stand for any shortages, and the Franklin bill giving a legal status to labor: unions and strikes, prevent ing strike injunctions except where violence is used, forbidding the im portation of srike breakers under false pretenses and making it illegal to im port Pinkertons or other armed guards. An effort was made by Sena tor Little to strike out this last pro vision, but without success. An emer gency clause was adued to the Staf ford, although it had not been so drawn and its author was unwilling to insist that the bill be placed in the emergency class. Other senators claimed, however, that otherwise most of the coal supply for next winter would be bought before the bill would take effect, and! that there was im perative need or its becoming a law at once. stantiation of his declaration regard ing "The Lion and the Mouse" he said he was sending on the road this season four "Lion and the Mouse" compan ies, the same number having played this piece last saeson.

Santa Fe Reports a Big Increase In Business There. The Santa Fe shops are of late the scene of an activity even greater than before the recent slack in the "work on the railroads. The great number of stock cars steadily arriving, the loco motives being sent out and the prog ress in the construction work make the yards of a quite busy appearance. More help is being employed daily and yet more is needed; for the huge increase in the business done keeps the present force rushed. For the accommodation of the added employment a boarding and rooming house is being erected within two hundreds yards of the round house. Last Wednesday 255 stock cars ar rived from Pecos Valley, Texas. The disposition of the numberless cattle re quired much time and more than all the space afforded in the railroad's stock yards. To get the cattle, which upon their arrival here were mere shadows, into fit condition to be ship ped was a very big job. Thirty locomotives were yesterday sent out from Wellington to different points on the road and for use here. However, this is not a very exception al number to be fitted out at the local shops. A week ago the pay roll was $3,000 less than on January 15, when 116 men were employed. But the payroll is in creasing every day, six men being added to the force today, and that many additional could have been held fully occupied with work. The erection of a two-stories board ing and lodging house west of the roundhouse was begun Wednesday by M. T. Turner, proprietor of the Rock Island restaurant. A like institution made an appearance in this neighbor hood only a few weeks since. The construction goes steadily on ward.

V Mall Carrier Makes Strange State ments in Schneck Murder Trial. Ottawa, Kan., April 21. One of the strongest bits of evidence for the state in the trial of Frank Schneck. which was resumed with the conven ing of court at 1:30 Monday after noon, came last evening, when John Wilson, who carries the mail between Ottawa and Centropolis, told of fol lowing, for some distance ,on his re turn trip the day of the discovery of the murder, the track of a single rig in the snow. A short distance this side of Cen tropolis Wilson found a place where the rig had stopped and bloody hands had been washed in the snow. A space of three feet was covered with blood stains and there was tracks as though? made by a man with over shoes. One empty whisky bottle was found nearby. The state will probably close its case at noon. The state put Mrs. Mollie Stewart on the stand in the afternoon in order to justify its intro duction of copies of Frank Schneck's letters to Mrs. Stewart, written from the jail, instead of the originals. Mrs. Stewart stood on her constitutional right to refuse to give any testimony which might incriminate her, and the state then proceeded to read Schneck's letters. The letters were affectionate, but poorly written. They discuss in detail the evidence to be given, in defense of the charge of hogstealing. Schneck tells of his worry and restlessness. He tells Mrs. Stewart he has heard that their let- One Way Rate to California Hie Northwest Tickets on sale daily to April 30, 'OS, inclusive $30 T. L.

London, April 28, marks the three hundred and forty-fourth anni versary of the birth of William Shakespeare. In that humble home in Stratford-on-Avon was born that greatest of all poets. Shakespeare s writings last. He grasped an under standing of mankind three centuries and a half ago, which endures. Today his plays are better appreciated than ever before. His was the master mind He understood the basic passions of humanity, and cloaked his thought In purest poetry. Around his birthplace he grew into manhood. Here he courted and won sweet Anne Hathaway, who lived one mile west of Stratford-on-Avon. Anne Hathaway's cottage has been recently purchased and given to the nation. Shakespeare's old home has also recently been restored as far as pos sible andy stands today as a fitting memorial to the bard of Avon. There is now to be erected in Lon don a $1,000,000 memorial in his honor. This will be located on -a site in Park Crescent, and face Portland palace.

Of all of the intolerable sects In the world the "Dreamers." who have a colony In Manitoba seem to be the worst. The slogan of their religion Is death to non-believers. The Issue of the Lawrence Journal for April 25 will be awaited with great Interest. It Is to be edited by the members of the class of Journal Ism at the state university. Once In a great while something appropriate Is done. An extraordi nary monkey with one of the circuses has been named "Mr. Darwin" and he Is said to carry It with great dignity. Manchuria would like to enlist the services of some American capital for the development of Its resources. But there Is plenty of opportunity right at home here for all the capital that Is lying around loose. All hall and honor to Prince Con stantino Paleologue of one of the royal families of Greece. He is In New York looking for a chance to earn an honest living and not for an heiress who would jlke to swap a pot of gold for a title. In reality, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, only three persons are inter ested In the Easter hat the person who sells It, the person who wears it, and, lastly, the person who pays for it. How about the fellow who has to sit behind it? Another idol has been shattered. It has developed that the water in many of the mineral springs that have made Saratoga famous have been "doctored" or "fixed" for years by artificial methods. Announcement is made by the steel trust that the present price of foundry Iron will not be changed. This would have been better news If it had told of a reduction In the price.

MUNICIPAL PECULIARITIES. It is a notorious fact that whatever else may be said of Chicago women's deficiencies below the ankle, scarcity of material is not one of them. This is a matter of what the courts call common knowledge. Spurred on ap parently by the notion that there is something disgraceful in unusual am plitude of these regions, a Chicagoan recently took It upon himself to ques tion the truth of this popular belief, and cited the cases of a number of Chicago women with small and "per fect feet." As to their perfection no one will venture to gainsay him, but the claim of dlminutlveness is so entirely at vari ance with all history and tradition that unless actual figures are available the public may be excused for skepticism. It cannot, of course, be doubted that women with small feet do occasionally sojourn for short periods in the Illi nois metropolis, but that any of the native born residents are so entirely out of adjustment with their environ ment can hardly be believed unless one is willing to doubt the reality of evolution and the inheritance of ac quired character. Many years of trav el through muddy streets have gradu ally enlarged the Chicago foot, so that now it treads on the surface of the pre vailing mire Instead of sinking into it. Of interest in this connection as il lustrating the mora 1 sensible attitude of the Boston mind toward that city's supposed deficiencies' Is r a recent dis cussion by the Boston Herald of crook ed streets. The hopelessness of trying to convince the country that the Hub of the Universe is laid out like a chess board was apparent to this patriotic native, so he boldly declares that of course the streets are crooked and tor tuous like the cowpaths from which they originated and the Bostonians should be proud of the "quaint pic turesqueness" which the muddle pro duces. The visitor, he says, becomes lost in rapture, as well as in person, while striving to locate some historic relic, because of the artlstio disorder and entire lack of system amidst which he finds himself. Indeed, this ingenious native finds a pretty symbolism in the tangle. "These intricacies of path and road, strange to say, symbolize far better the woven, interpenetrated, complex life of today than they do the life of the time when they were first marked out." How much more Intellectual is this philosophic treatment of a blemish than that of the defender of Chicago women's feet? WHY RAISE THE MAINE? The question of whether this govern ment shall send some more tens of thousand of dollars after the hundreds of thousands that sank in Havana harbor in the attempt to raise the wreck of the sunken Maine is again agitating congress., That attempt does not receive the warm support of news papers in general, but the New York Sun urges that the money, be appro priated and the effort made as a means of settling once for all the question whether the vessel was destroyed by an explosion from without or an acci dent from within. The presumption Is that the raising of the vessel would conclusively show whether emissaries of Spain blew the vessel up or whether the tragedy was only an accident. Why raise the Maine? The question Is asked rather as suggestive that there be a clear understanding of the pur pose of the action, if It 13 to be takeni than out of doubt as to its propriety. Is it really to be expected that the raising will definitely settle the ques tion whether a plot of Spain or care lessness on board caused the catas trophe? Over ten years has the hull rusted beneath the waters of Havana harbor, and to trust that the raising would certainly reveal anything is to trust too much. But suppose it did settle the ques tion, and show conclusively that the explosion was from without, what then? That would be no proof that the plot was of Spanish origin. It might as well show what some have suspected, that some shrewd Cuban patriot thought to hurry on the tardy assistance of the United States to the Cuban cause by producing a world sensation. Or supposing it showed that the explosion was from within. thus relieving both Spain and Cuba from all suspicion, what then? Would it follow that the war which we fought for the freedom of Cuba, that the taking of Porto Rico and the Philip pines, were all- wrong? Should the deeds done then be undone Even Spain would hardly have it so, and cer tainly the islands involved would not. It may be thought kroner to expend some money for the raising of this wreck, if good engineers shall decide the effort to be likely of success. But the motive should be the desire to clear the harbor of an obstruction, to wipe away an unpleasant memory. rather than hope to clear up a mys tery. DOWN WITH WOODEN INDIANS. Another bid for fame because of a demand for a new reform is made by the state of Oklahoma. A bill pre sented to the' legislature by one of Its members, said to be a Cherokee, seeks to prohibit the display of the cigar store Indian. The sponsor of this most sapient measure assumes the wooden Indian of commerce brings into ridicule the real Indian of the Verdigris valley and so should be prohibited. The prediction is made that this bill will pass by an over whelming majority because no Okla homa politician can afford to ignore the Indian vote, or rather the In fluence of the Indians. It has long been accepted as a fact that an Indian has not a fine sense of humor. Since the discovery by Col' umbus and the Invasion by DeSoto, TOPEKA DAILY STATS the red man has been known as a se rious minded poet, eloquent In his silence and preferring his enemy's hair rather to his forgiveness. It is not. then, to be wondered at that he has failed to appreciate the wooden Indian Joke, or to be delighted with the painted caricature used as the symbol of Miss Nicotine. It la on this ground that we must refuse to be surprised at the amusing spectacle of an Indian legislator demanding that all woodeh Indians be suppressed by law. It Is probable the full bloods of Oklahoma, the Osages, Kiowas and Comanches are a bit less sensitive on this subject than their near white Cherokee and Creek neighbors. In fact, the latter are somewhat sensitive to any broad reference to Indians themselves describing the picturesque tribesmen who Interest the visitor as "Indians in blankets." But the bill will do no harm. There are fewer cigar store Indians than of the other kind in Oklahoma, and the prohi bition cannot extend to "rum-soaked Missouri." We have not heard, how ever, of any negro in Oklahoma ris ing with the request that "coon" songs be made a crime.

Recently the fiftieth anniversarv of the founding of the Y. M...G A. in Chicago was- celebrated. and the speeches of the various workers along this line are such as to cause people who read them to turn for a moment to this organization, which has for its object the betterment of men, and re flect upon its work. From the handful of men by whom it was started, the Y. M. C. A. has grown to be a national affair. Hun dreds and thousands of men of this country are members of the associa tion. They represent some of the fin est specimens of manhood in the Unit ed States, both physically and mental ly. The work it is doing in the world is some thing of which people do not hear a great deal, but it is marvelous. In the larger cities buildings have been erected through the efforts of the Young Men's Christian Association in which every means is provided to make Detter men of its members. Nice rooms are furnished for the members who are away from home and who seek quiet and respectable surround ings. Fully equipped gymnasiums are maintained, where under the instruc tions of experts the members are taught to exercise themselves in such a way that every muscle of the 'body will be fully developed and every part of man's anatomy forced to do its best.

Montreal is 1.000 mnes from the ocean, about the same distance as St. Louis from deep water at New Or leans. A 30-foot channel has been dredged ftom Montreal to the sea and is open to shipping as long as the St. Lawrence river is free rrom ice. The tide does not reach Montreal and its docks, with a frontage of 30 miles, are in still water. Originally the depth of water between Montreal and Quebec was 10 feet. It has been dredged to 30 feet and nine power ful dredge boats were at work last summer to secure a permanent depth of 34 feet. In the last 10 years the tonnage of large ocean vessels at Montreal has more than doubled. Twenty-seven per cent of the com merce of Canada is transacted at Montreal, which is also the terminus of the Canadian system of canals, from 14 to 22 feet deep, that con nects with the lakes-and gives ships access to the head of Lake Superior. Thus Canada already possesses a deepened lake channel to an inland seaport, and from thence the St. Lawrence river has been Improved so that a channel of 30 feet now exists, and is undergoing deepening to 34 feet. Ice closes the great artery of traffic five months in the year, but, nevertheless, the Canadians, number ing less than 6,000,000, have reached this achievement by a striking policy of liberal- enterprise. Their canals and improved rivers have cost J 80, 000,000, but are worth immensely more' than the interest on this amount. They are, in fact, regarded as invaluable. St Louis Globe-Democrat.

WEEDS. After we shall have destroyed our forests to eke out the necessary sup ply of wood pulp we may possibly find a near-to-hand substance in some weed now east as rubbish to the void. According to analyses of eighteen samples of the more common weeds, made at the instance of the depart ment of agriculture, it has been de veloped that many or tnem withdraw large amounts of nitrogen from tne soil. The large amount of protein in the dry matter was particularly noticeable in purslane, lamb's- ouarters or pigweed, and cheese weed or mallow. It is stated that there is more protein in the dry matter of these weeds that in either alfalfa or clover, and it Is suggested that it is advisable to keep a few sheep on every farm for utilizing and con trolling the weed crop in order that under such a system the land may be reclaimed and the weecs utilized for both forage and green manure. The farmer who knows his weeds may gather advantage and sa money by reason of his knowledge. It is suggested by the experiments of the department "that Judicious selection and simple methods r improving forage crops with reference to protein content the feed bills now made up so largely of expenditures for costly con centrated feeds to supply the deficien cies of farm weeds in protein may be greatly reduced."

Yeast is a small plant which can be seen only with the aid of the micro scope. There are two varieties, wild and cultivated, for these tiny plants can be Improved through cultivation as larger plants can be. Firms which make yeast for the market must grow these plants quite as carefully as the' florist grows his flowers. Care must be taken that they do not become mixed with other va rieties, therefore destroying the cult ure. In some laboratories where yeast is grown two separate buildings are kept for this purpose. These are both carefully disinfected, and if it is found that the yeast becomes contaminated in one building the culture is started anew, and the other building pre viously disinfected before moving into it. The purest culture of yeast is prob ably obtained in the compressed yeast cakes. These can be kept only for a very short time, and then in a cool place, which renders it inconvenient for the warmer parts of the country. in this case, of course, the dry yeast cakes must be used, which, when fresh, are perhaps, quite as good as the compressed, except that they re quire a longer time, and should be started in the sponge instead of' the stiff dough. This plant, like bacteria, requires warmth, moisture and food. The ma terials out of which the bread is made should always be warmed, and the dough should always be kept in a warm place. The temperature most favorable is about that of the body, a little less than 100 degrees. There is always considerable mois ture in bread and plenty of food for the plant. The food which it requires is sugar. This it obtains from the heat, there being some sugar in the flour, and more sugar is also formed from the starch. As the yeast plants feed upon sugar they break it down into two sub stances alcohol and a gas known as carbon dioxide, or carbonic acid gas. As the gas is formed it is held by the gluten, which is a very elastic sub stance. When the bread is put into the oven the -heat expands the tiny bubbles of gas, causing the bread to rise, or to become much lighter. The alcohol formed, being a volatile pro duct, passes off in the baking. Good Health. The Dog as Food. Some oolar explorers say they have no objection to eating dog meat if they can get enough or it. Bun, tney seem to keep their dogs as a last food resource. Tho fact is. however, that dogs are eaten to some extent by civilized folk of the Occident: and Germany, at least, collects statistics of the home consumption of this article of food. Ami-mar the curiosities In the statistical volume of the German empire, issued auarterlv by the imperial statistical of fice at Berlin, may always be found the figures of the slaughter or dogs tor rooa. All UlDl li tiHtKJl ,11 Jl'i 1 u ...j we learn that in the last quarter of 1907 the recorded number of dogs killed and sold for food in Germany was 2,299. About 9,000 dogs a year meet tne uerman ae- mand. Thin is a very small number comparea with the 4,845,370 hogs that were slaugh tered in three months, but the point is that doers are recognised m Germany as a fnnA pnmmodltv. and four times a year occupy column 11 in the oimciai xaDies oi animals killed for food. Prussia in the last Quarter consumed only 506 dogs, not one of which is credited to Berlin, though the Frankfort district had a market for eighty-one, Liegnitz for ninety-eight, and Breslau lor lw. The kinsrdom or saxony seems to ne. cultivating the habit, for 1,496 dogs were consumed in that little country, the Chemnitz district taking 668, Dresden, 314. and Leipsic, 152. Comparative statistics for the past tnree years snow nine vari ation in the consumption, and the demand seems to be steady though small. The horse does not appear in these tables, though as food he occupies a rather more important place in France than the dog does in Germany. As a popular article of diet the dog is mnfinnl to some Oriental and aboriginal bills of fare, and the gastronomic appre ciation of him 19 not likely to spread much farther. New York Sun. Chickens Got Drunk on Cherries. Georere Hensen. of Urbana. owns a flock of chickens that go off on a spree and get so drunk that they have to be carried home. Some time ago he threw out, of doors a lot of canned cherries which had become fermented. The chickens fell In and eagerly ate them. Soon afterward the entire lot of forty showed marked signs of Intoxication. All were lying about the yard, with the occasional ex ception of one which could be seen lean ing up against a oox or icnce. Mr. Hansen picked up one or two of them and found thay had every sign of Intoxication" Occasionally a cock would try to crow, but it sounded very much like a cross between a hiccough and a declaration he wouldn't go home until morning. The next day the chickens ap peared to be all right, although one would occasionally try to rub its head against a coop or box. It plainly had a headache. When the chickens were turned loose In the yard they all lined up at the back door waiting for another feed of fer mented cherries. JS.anicaK.ee aispaicn 10 the Chicago News. China's Cruel Execution.

(By Henry Hasling.) George Barker, the newly appointed cashier, moved rapidly between the rows of desks which lined the walls of the accounting department. Daisy, bending over her, huge volume, flushed as she caught sight of the tall, soldierly figure, but her face turned white and tense as she saw how grave his expression was. Clearly some thing had happened! Others, perhaps, might not have noticed the change in his expression, but. to Daisy every shade of meaning was familiar, and she knew that they must be serious worries which took the smile from Barker's eyes and made still more grave the lines about the mouth. Every since she had been In the bank, Daisy had made Barker her ideal. It was he who had Inducted her into the mysteries of the savings department, and had stood guard over her ever since. He was always ready to give her a help over the hard places and of late it had seemed to Daisy that there was something more than mere kindly interest in the steady grey eyes as he looked upon her. Now he came to a stop before her desk, and bent over the book on which she was working. "Miss Gibbins wUl look after your book today," he said in a low voice. "I want to have your assistance in counting the reserve. The bank examiner comes next week and we want to see that things are all right." "I didn't suppose that you were to know when the examiner camel" cried Daisy. Barker smiled, but tne smile was mirthless, "We are not supposed to know." he admitted, "but there are sometimes leakages in the banking department. Will you come with me to the vaults?" Daisy followed him to the base ment where the reserve vaults were located. A steel cage, formed of heavy bars In place of the light net tings used on the floor above, was Drovided with a table and a chair. Daisy took her seat before the piles of bills whicn wnica.tne taoie loaded. According to the law, a certain cash reserve was required of the bank, and it was Daisy's task to count the nackas-es of bills and make cer tain that the contents agreed with the figures on the paper bands. Barker leaned across the table. "Mike will take these away and bring you more when you are ready,' he said. "You know how to check them on the sliDS." Daisy nodded understandingly. Bar ker turned away only to come back and bend close to the curly brown head. "Remember," he said impressively, "I have selected you for the counting because you are discreet ana laim fuL" This time the new cashier ascended the stairs and Daisy's nimble fingers made quick work of the bills. They were for the greater part fifty-dollar notes in packages .of one hundred each, and Daisy dropped them into the box at her side, as she verified the count. The porter brought her a fresh supply of higher denominations and of these she took more caretui count. Several of the packages were short one or two bills and these were for $100 and $500 each. The packages were tossed- aside to be recounted later when the work should be done. It might be that some error had been made and other package might con tain a bill or two in excess of their suoDosed number. But package after package went to swell the pile on the rough deal table and there were none to balance the shortage. Barker's words flashed through Daisy's 'brain. She was to be discreet and faithful! Only two weeks back Barker had been nromoted to be cashier. Before then he had been the assistant, and it was he who had last counted and packaged the reserve. Now that he was made cashier in. the place of Newton Bryan, -the count had to be made again, because the bank exami ner was expected. The shortage would become known unless she was discreet and faithful! For a little time things turned black for Daisy. To Barker she owed her advancement in the' bank. He had virtually saved her place for her by his kindly advice when sne naa nrst taken a position, and during the en tire two years she haa Deen with the bank he had put her under a heavy burden of gratitude. He had been kind to all the girls, but it seemed to Daisy that he had been more watch ful of her interests than of the others, and now now she was being asked to make return! A step aroused her from her thoughts, and she resumed her work just as the president came down the stone stairway to the basement. Daisy's fingers became nimble again and she tried to keep all -traces 01 excitement from her face. "Everything all right 7" asked Mr. Greenwell as he came into the com partment. "The count is correct?" mere was a note 01 anxiety m nia kindly voice. Daisy wondered if he had any suspicions, uor a moment she was tempted to answer that all was riarht. She could give an evasive answer and warn Barker that he was In danger of discovery, 'men came the echo of the words "Discreet and faithful." It would not be faithful to the bank to hide the shortage. It could not be that Barker would have asked her to hide his guilt. She looked bravely into the president's face. "Those packages are all short," she said simply. "They are mostly the hundreds, but there are five thous ands, too." "As Mr. Barker to come here," di rected the president. "Do not tell him what is the matter. Just say that I want to- see him here. Come back with him." As quietly as she could, Daisy sum moned the cashier. They were at the top of the stairs when her courage failed. She could not believe wrong of the man she loved and yet "There was a shortage," she whis pered. "Mr. Greenwell told me not to tell you, but 1 Barker nodded understandingly but he kept on toward the basement andj Daisy roliowea wonaeringiy. treen well looked up as his cashier came into the compartment. "I am sorry to say that your sus picions are correct,' he said, sadly. "Will you and Miss er "Walling," supplied Barker. "Will y6u and Miss Walling figure the exact sum? I am afraid that it is worse than we thought." Barker took his seat at the table opposite Daisy and the president re turned to the upper floor. As they worked Barker explained that he had suspected that the former old cashier had resigned in fear of dlsoovery. It 1 was -evt his own request mat tne was being made before he became re sponsible for the surplus. it won't nun tne dshk, tuimuuw Barker. "Bryan's father will make good the shortage. It is not as bad as I had supposed. Of course you win say nothing of this to any one. In or out of bank." "Why did Mr. Greenwell tell me not to tell you?" she asked curiously. "Probably that tne others migm noi overhear your message," explained Barker. "Is that why you warnea me?" he went on. "Did you think that perhaps I had been, meddling with tne reserve?" "I didn't think that." denied Daisy with reddening cheeks, "but it was all so strange and mysterious to ma and I I didn't want to feel that perhaps I hadn't been faithful." "I meant faithful to yourself," ex plained Barker, remembering his words, "was it because He did not complete his question j there was no need. Eyes answered eves. but. some days later when the gray-haired president suggested that a married man was prererrea oy me ai rectors as cashier. Barker agreed with him. "It's all arranged" he declared. "I am going to marry Miss Walling, the young lady who counted the reserve.' Greenwell nodded approvingly. "She will make an excellent wife," he declared oracularly. "You have made an excellent choice, George," and Barker agreed with him. (Copyright ed, 1908, by Associated Literary Press.) HUMOR OF THE DAY "Yes. she started In life as a noor shoo filrl."

From the Chicago News. Even a single taste of defeat Is hard to swallow. If a skeleton had three feet would It be a bone yard? Even the spring chicken doesn't know the date of its fall. It isn't easy to be happy; all you have to do is to be foolish. Happiness and marriage, Cordelia, are not always synonymous. A sensible man attracts less atten tion than one who hasn't any sense. There is a lot of extravagant lang uage in some brands of free speech. Many an able seaman has found it rough sailing on the sea of matrimony. If it wasn't for Sunday school pic nics ants and bugs wouldn't have much fun. There are always a lot of people try ing to dodge the man who thinks he can tell a funny story. When three or four women get to gether the silence becomes so thick that it cannot be heard. It vocal culture doesn't make a wo man's voice better it at least adds to the volume thereof. Life to the boy who has to wear his father's cast-off trousers must be a dreary ex-pants. If the average man could be born again and had his way about it, he would select a different set of relatives. Nine men out of ten who come up and shake you by the hand either want to borrow money or hand you a piece Of advice. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Hard pressed for money Bricks. Would you refer to a fortune made in soothing syrup as hush money? Lots of things are too good to keep, but that Isn't the reason we can't keep cooks. Hoax "A frock coat Is proper for a wedding, isn't It?" Joax "Yes, and a cutaway for a divorce." "Rich things never did agree with me, anyhow," remarked the philoso pher when the heiress turned him down. She "You are the last man in the world I would marry." He "Well, Z don't want you to marry any after me." In Oriental countries a girl seldom see her husband until she marries him; in this country she seldom see him afterward. "Who Is that man bowing to you? asked the Philadelphia woman. "He is my husband once removed," replied the divorcee from Chicago. Blobbs "Doolittle haa done nothing; all his life but kill time."

UJVBSTIGATIOX STARTED attached to the Pacific fleet, that a girl stowaway made the trip through the Straits of Magellan' with the fleet, As sistant Secretary of the Navy New berry has taken steps to ascertain if a man named Dey was aboard the Brutus. "It does not seem possible that a girl could secret herself aboard one of the vessels," said Mr. Newberry yesterday "I believe it would be almost impos sible to hide a ham, or even- a cigar ette. The person who circulated the story kept the girl aboard too long. He should have had her discovered sooner." According to Dey's story the girl boarded the Brutus at Trinidad and made the trip around the point of the southern continent and landed in Peru. HE HIDUNDER THE BED. Little Bryan Leavitt Gave His Grandpa an Awful Fright. To See If Evans' Fleet Carried a Girl Stowaway. Washington, April 21. As the re sult of a story circulated in Pittsburg by Earner E. Dey, who was a civilian passenger on the supply ship Brutus, New York, April 21. William J, Bryan's grandson, little Bryan Leav Itt, gave the Democratic leader, a bad scare today. Mr. Bryan had gone to the pier to meet the steamer Minnehaha, on which Mrs. Bryan, her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Leavitt and two children were returning from Europe. When the steamer swung in at the pier Mr, Bryan was one of the first on board. He found Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Leavitt, waiting him on the upper deck. His granddaugh ter, Kutn, also was there, but little Bryan was no where to be seen. A search which extended over the- shlD, from one end to the other, was not successful. Finally his mother found. him where he had hidden himeelf under a berth in his mother's state room. When he was drawn out of his hiding place little Bryan threw himself into his grandfather's arms and the big crowd which had gather ed on the deck watched the meeting with enthusiastic appreciation. From the pier the family went at once to tne Hoffman house. Mr. Bry- an was obliged to leave them at once to fill an engagement in Trenton. N. J. He will return to New York this even ing, however, to remain with his family until they leave for Nebraska tomorrow. Mrs. Bryan and Mra. Leavitt said they had a delightful trip abroad. They travelled exten sively throughout southern Europe visiting Italy, Greece, Turkey and other countries. STATE ELECTION, Louisiana Is Voting and Republicans Are Making a Fight.

Gt Drenningr, city attorney, has been dismissing city cases. The council adopted- the recommendation of the mayor and handed the matter over to the mayor in connection with the judiciary committee. There have been several clashes be tween the city attorney and the mayor previously over the way In which the city attorney has settled with defend ants in city cases, dismissing them and accepting cash payments In lieu or tine and Jail sentence. The city attorney claims that it Is more economical to the city in the long run than to maintain the prosecution to the end and run danger of a de feat. A large number of cases have been handled in this way, cash pay ments being" made. Mayor Green asserts that the man dates of the district court to which the cases were appealed have been kept by the city attorney and not re turned to the chief of police and the police judge, so that the latter did not know what disposition has been made of the appealed cases. Last fall this difference of opinion reached the point where the council at the request or the mayor Instructed the city at torney to dismiss no more cases ex cept as the mayor and council might recommend. Since then the mayor says he has been credibly Informed that the city attorney his disregarded those instructions and is proceeding on his own happy way regardless of The council. The information came from the Chief of Police, Wlnfield Eaton, though this does not appear In the communication addressed to the council. Probably the latest Instance to con tribute towards the renewal of hostili ties was the Art Kissinger case, Kissinger, who was a drug clerk at the Clarence Young drug store was arrestea charged with having sold liquor Illegally. He was tried and found guilty. A Jail sentence was imposed and a fine ana while the ap peal was pending the city attorney ar ranged a settlement with Kissinger for $200 and dismissed the case against him. The chief of police and the mayor claimed that they did not know anything of the arrangement and had Kissinger rearrested. But Kissinger was then -released upon the recommendation of the mayor and the case dismissed. This took place on Monaay or last week. Last October the council sent this communication to the city attorney: "Mr. F. G. Drennine, city attorney. Dear Sir: You are hereby notified to dismiss no cases in any court in which the city of Topeka is plaintiff with' out the written consent of the mayor ana council. "You are further directed that In cases where the appeal from the po lice court to the district court has been dismissed you will permit the mandates of the district court to be transmitted from the district court to the police court by the officials of the district court as the law directs; further that you will not interfere in any way with the collection of fines imposed by the police court in cases that have been appealed to the district court and the appeals dis- missea. When the city attorney collects the money he turns It over direct to' the city treasurer and then assumes the credit for the settlement while the police officials think that the money should be paid over to them and thev be permitted to assume the credit for its collection this is another phase or tne same question. In his recommendation to the council last night the mayor said: "To the Honorable City Council: "Gentlemen: Attached hereto Is a copy of council proceedings of Oct ober 17, 1907, relative to instructions to the city attorney, In connection therewith I desire to advise that am credibly informed that the city attorney has disregarded these in structions in every particular. I would therefore suggest that in" order that no injustice may be done the city attorney, and also that the dignity of the mayor and council may be maintained, that this matter be refer red to a special or standing commit tee of the council with directions to investigate the facts and repfcrt their findings to the council with such recommendations as they may think Dest. J-tespectiuiiy submiittea1. "WM. GREEN." The council spent a lot of time driveling over a little childish matter of changing the roll call. The system in use is for the councilmen to vote In alphabetical order and prior to that it was based on the wards, the first ward councilmen voting first and so on down the list. Last evening a resolu tion was introduced by Councilman Jordan calling for a change from the present system to one based on sen iority, the man oldest In point of ser vice voting first. There was no great outcry for a change. Councilman Blakely, who heads the list under the present system was willing to let it stand and did not ask for a revision but Councilman Jordan stated that he understood Councilman Hughes was conducting a still hunt to place it back on the ward system basis he introduced a different resolution to kill Hughes' attempt. Some of the coun cilmen voted for the change as a 1oke. and others were for It in earnest and Councilman Hughes could marshal but five votes to amend. As the mat ter now stand's Hughes will have to vote first. A number of the council- men do not like to vote first, they prerer to wait to see which way the wind is blowing and the Alphonse Gaston business has some strong sup porters. An appropriation ordinance appro priating $5,208.19 to pay bonds and interest for paving bonds which will fall due on May 1st. was introduced and adopted.

Increases have been asked for from the city electric light plant, from the police court prosecutor, from the city piumoing inspector ana a number of others will apply for a raise.

FOUNT) $5,000 IN ARGENTINE. Was Lead Containing Gold and Sil ver in an Abandoned Smelter. Argentine. Kan., April 21. Gold, silver and lead to the value of $5,000 was found in an abandoned pile of brick and ashes at the plant of the Kansas City Structural Steel company in Argentine yesterday. The site was formerly occupied by the Argentine smelter. Workmen digging near the fouro dations of an abandoned blast fur nace struck a hard substance. A force of about fifty men was set to work and a deposit of lead ore was dis covered. Dynamite was used in re mnvinir the old furnace wall. and within two hours a solid mass of lead ore weighing twenty tonB was removed. The lump will contain about three ounces of gold to the ton. Gold is valued at $20 an ounce. There are about 175 ounces of silver; valued at fifty cents an ounce. In the lump. The value of the lead is about ten cents a pound. The assayers say the mass is worth at least $5,000 and perhaps more Word of the valuable find quickly snread through Argentine and people from all parts of that city gathered to view the treasure that had so long lnv buried. The treasure was in a huge lead boulder ten feet high and eight feet wide and eight feet thick, not unlike the stone boulders that roll down the sides of a mountain canyon, it was cut into smaller pieces and sent to OirTaha last night to be smelted. "The metal had probably leaked through the floor or the old blast fur nace years ago," said H. A. Fitch, nresident of the steel company. "A new floor was laid in the furnace and the precious metals lost in tne leak remained forgotten.

VALUE OP STATE FAIR. Topeka Man Writing in "The Spirit of the West" Discusses It. J. W. Thompson of this city, editor of the "Southwest Department" of "The Spirit of the West," an Iowa farm journal of interstate reputation, has, in the last issue of that periodical written a most interesting and instructive ar ticle on the many benefits of state fairs to the state at large in which they are held, and to every individual who competes there for live stock, grain and fruit honors. The article is espec ially timely considering the fact that Kansas this year has awakened to the need of a fair worthy of the state, and is bending every effort to hold one on a big scale at Topeka next fall. It is interesting to the entire state for the reason that the fair management will next winter ask the legislature for aid in building up the fair to the same pro portions of other states, who have. In their turn, been helped in the same way. The following are the strongest points brought out in this state fair sermon by Mr. Thompson and should encourage every citizen of the most re mote community to work and talk for the fair and so express himself to his representative in the legislature: "The testimony to the commercial and educational value of wisely con ducted state fairs, recently given by a number of governors and other public functionaries of states where these in stitutions have been regularly in oper ation, should practically settle, with all reasonable minds, the question of their utility and worth as investments.

NOT Oil SAME BASIS. Mr. Johnson Tells Difference Be tween Trusts and Labor Unions. Pittsburg, Kan., April 21. State Labor Commissioner W. L. A. John son spoke last evening at a big union labor meeting held for the purpose of protesting against the recent decision of the United States supreme court In the Buck stove case, in which it was held that the anti-trust laws apply to labor unions as well as to combina tions .of capital. The meeting Is in tended to urge congress to enact legislation remedial of such condi tions. In discussing the difference between a combination of capital and a com bination of labor. Mr. Johnson said: "A trust that operates in restraint of trade Is a combination of in dividuals who by their use of their combined capital, monopolize and control the supply of commodities to such an extent that the great mass of consumers are at their mercy and that such combination may be the sole dictator as to the prices of such commodity. What is their purpose? To add untold accumulations to their already large capital. In other words, to make money; to make profit re gardless of the stifling of individual enterprises or the throttling of those who desire the opportunity to engage in business as a competitor. It is In deed well that congress sought to pre vent the operation of such trusts. VBut what constitutes a labor organ ization and how does it come within the definition of a trust? The unions have for their aim and purposes the improvement of the standards of life, to protect their members against the mercilessness of the present com petitive industrial system. To foster education, to bring about an interdependenc of each wage earnes on the other to the end that by united action and through Intelligent co-operation a better civiliz ation and better standards of existence may be .established, namely: through a shorter work day, a more equitable di vision of the profits of their toll by equitable wage rates, to improve the industrial conditions surrounding their employment, to secure the opportunity for the education of their children that they may not become the slaves of the factory and work shop. In a word, to secure to themselves the enjoyment of the higher moral, social and intellect ual relations of domestic life. In a word, organized labor stands for the uplifting of humanity, seeks to solve the intricate problems that enter into our industrial civilization and thus, so far as it is possible on this earth! to bring about the brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God and the courts have seen fit to call this institution an unlawful trust. "A trust or combine may have own ership of and a vested right in certain commodities or property, but the labor of the wage earner is not a commodity in that sense. No employer has any vested right in the labor of a wage earner. It Is his own Individual pur chasing power. It represents the strength, the sinew, the brain and brawn of his own individuality. It is his to use or withhold and under the constitution of the United States he is secured life, liberty and pursuit of hap piness in accordance to the dictates of his own judgment."

WOBLD'S BIGGEST SAILING SHIP MAP OF HABJ0E ENTRANCE THAT BAFFLED HEB. When the five masted, square rigged German- ship the Preussen reached the entrance to New York harbor she was forced to anchor outside because she was unable to tack through the Narrows while a stiff wind blew.

SHE LEFT A NOVEL Mrs. Jessie Levelling Had Written a Story of Kansas Politics. Chicago, April 21. Mrs. Jessie Lewelling Call, the daughter of the late ex-governor of Kansas, who com mitted suicide at the Newberry hotel Sunday afternoon, left an unfinished novel which her friends believe would have made her widely known had she lived to finish it. "The manuscript, which Is said to be in the keeping of Miss Louise Lewel ling, Mrs. Call's sister, now in Oska loosa, la., deals with the political life that centered around her father. It is partly because of the existence of this manuscript that Mrs. Call's inti mate friends base their belief that she made up her mind to take her own life suddenly after a sleepless night or because she had been made especially despondent by an acute at tack of her nervous malady. They believe that the period of premedita tion was not longer than a day or two. At the Inquest held Monday, James Devitt, husband of one of Mrs. Call's sisters, who lives in Oskaloosa, la., was the chief witness. The verdict of suicide was in accordance with the letters left by Mrs. Call. The letter written to Mr. Devitt was philosophi cal. In It she said: "Dear Jim: Impress it upon my sis ters that there is no need of sorrow ing on my account. It Is a happy end ing for me who suffered like me. If you can stand the expense I want my body cremated and the ashes thrown into the lake. If not, then bury me at Mitchellville, la. I regard it all like the ancient men of Greece, who saw suicide not as a disgrace, but as a duty When their course was finished. I have finished my course. Its end was hastened by my illness. Tou have been a good man, Jim. oodby. "MRS. JESSIE CALL." Mr. Devitt was so overcome by emo tion that he was unable to read the letter in full and Deputy Coroner Web ster finished reading It for him. .Mr. Devitt took the body to Mitchellville, la., last night. The burial -will be at that place. BIG EASTER OFFERING. One New York Church Received $198,000 Last Sunday. New Tork, April 21.

Three new species of game birds to replace grouse, pheasants and quail have been suggested for this country by C. B. Bjornsgarrd, a Norwegian, who la now a resident of Shamokawa, Wash. He says: "There is a European game bird that belongs to Norway and Sweden; they are large birds, and there are three different kinds of them. I will describe them separately. The largest bird is called 'tiur,' is black in color and will weigh from seven to ten pounds; that is, the male bird. The hen is dark speckled and quite a bit smaller. The next largest bird is called 'Orfugel.' It is the same color and will weigh from three to four pounds. The smallest bird is called Jarper.' It is a speckled bird and about the size of a pheasant. "I hunted these birds for about twenty years before I came to this country, and I will say something Want It? Aik your doctor all about Ayrr non. alcoholic Sanaparilla.

They are hardy and thrifty, quite wild, increase very fast, and their feed In the sum mer is green plants and other things they -will pick up on the ground. In the winter time, when the around is covered with deep snow, they browse up in the fir and spruce, and when the evening comes, if It Is cold and stormy, they will fly down and cover them selves in the snow and the next morn ing fly up in the trees again. "These birds can be found on the market all over Norway, and some of them are shipped to England every winter. I believe If we could get a pretty large shipment of these birds, and if a few pairs of the different kinds were released in the green tim ber in different places throughout the country, that we would, after fifteen or twenty years, have these birds all over our woods, and it wouldn't be a game only for the sportsman, because the birds referred to would then be so plentiful that you would have them, on the market. "There is a corporation in Michigan that imported 100 of these birds four years aog from Norway and Sweden. This corporation owns an island called Grand Island, situated near the south shore of Lake Superior, and that is where they let out these birds. This island Is timbered with fir, spruce and some underbrush and la none too suit able for the purpose. I have corre sponded with a man from Ishpeming, Mich., who belongs to this corporation, and he said the birds were shipped in crates and came through all right, with a few exceptions. He added that, so far as he knew, the birds were do ing satisfactorily. "Two years ago the legislature of Michigan amended the game laws so as to have these bind protected for ten year, so as to be on the safe aide. IX Kansas. in New York.

All mys tery eurroundiny Mrs. Maria Louisa Hunt, the elderly woman whose nego tiations tor securities and realty has been puzzling local bankers and the police, was cleared today, when the police received a telephone message from Frank C. Hunt, her son, a min ing engineer at Galena, Kan. Mr. Hunt telephoned the police that the woman was his mother. He asked them to hold her, saying he would immediately come to Kansas City to take care oX Mrs. Hunt. In his talk with the police, Mr. Hunt said that the woman had visited in Yuma, Ariz., where she had a relative named Climer, but had never been in Los Angeles as she claimed. When apprised of this statement by the po lice today. Mrs. Hunt said that there must be some mistake as she knew of no one named Climer. However, she carried a letter, mailed in Yuma some time ago and signed Climer. Mrs. Hunt is 58 years old. She is of very refined appearance-and although her actions in negotiating big deals, which she never carried to a conclu sion, were considered strange, the po lice say she has committed no crimi nal act and there; is no excuse for holding her. Mrs. Hunt had used sev eral names while here. HE'LL TRY BLOODHOUNDS. Sheriff Wilkerson to Give Animals a Thorough Trial. The "bloodhound experiment" will be made by Sheriff John Wilkerson. Some time next week, according to an agree ment made by him with an agent, two dogs of the man-eating type will be de livered to him by express, and he will experiment with them at his -leisure. Should the dogs prove to be up to ad vertisements. Sheriff Wilkerson may use them on the next murder, robbery or arson case which comes up. "This is rather an expensive experi ment," said Sheriff Wilkerson today, "as the dogs cost $225. F. W. Stevens of Wichita is agent for a kennel in the south, where such dogs are used to good advantage, and it is through him that I have made the purchase. The climate may be hard on the hounds, but I shall take good care of them, and give them a fair chance. I am willing to do anything which might be of ben efit in the apprehension of criminals, and for that reason go to this expense. "It is reasonable to believe that no bloodhounds is infallible. The best of them may get off on the wrong track, and for this reason 1 would like to im press upon the public at large: Should a murder barn-burning or other crime be committed In your neighborhood, do what you can to prevent all persons around the place, and give the dogs a chance. 1 nave muo hopes of dogs trailing persons in the city but it is a well known fact that these bloodhounds can trail persons in a country district, if brought to the trail while It is fresh." The dogs wil be shipped from a con vict farm, where they were Taised and trained. In lower Mississippi. Posts Open Shop Notice. winntneir.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, the Jury in the pure drug case, in which Clar ence Toung is defendant, was still out in deliberation. The case was closed as to testi mony last night, and this morning was used, up to 10:30, In the delivery of the court's instructions, and the arguments of the attorneys. The defense in the case consisted of an attempt to impeach some of the rather shady witnesses used against the defendant. The state elected to rely on two counts against Toung, one of selling a package of alleged head ache powders in person to Roy Dutton, a county Jail "trusty," and for the sec ond count, upon the sale, alleged to have been made by Young's clerk, of a similar package to a state house Janitor commissioned to make the pur nhaA hv "Or. Hrumblne. The state attempted to prove by chemists that the first package con tained pure hydrochlorate of cocaine, and the second,-a powder which was almost pure acetanelid. Both of these sales. If proven, are a violation of the nure drusr act or 1907. The forecast of the Jury's finding is, "guilty on the first count, and not guilty on the second count." WIIXi HEAR ORIENT CASK.

Congressman Williams Denounces (ho Cannon Paper Trust Resolution. Washington, April 21. Declaring his opposition to the Cannon papes V trust resolution, Mr. Williams, the Democratic house leader, said he did not think there would be any real search for the truth and no real end-. ing or reporting of the truth. The i resolution, he said, was intended sole ly to whitewash the tariff as a crime i against the American people, with, regard to wood pulp '-and to "ctrcum vent this man Herman Ridder at tho head of the great newspaper associa tion this eOrman devil, as some people are beginning to call him and get around legislating on the ques tion." Mr. Williams contended that not withstanding Republican denial the Democrats had forced the Republi cans to action in reporting out the employers liability, the campaign contribution publicity bill and the bill modifying the law, relating to In junctions. The last assertion Mr. Sherman (N. T.) denied. The very measure named said Mr. Sherman, was pending in one house or the other "before the Democ racy under the leadership of Mr. Will- 5 iams undertook their hours play which j they have been carrying on here for some time." 5 The country, he declared, knew that the action taken by the majority in the -house and senate was not affected In the least "by the foolish and unwar- ranted procedure of the past two ot three weeks in this house." An interesting parliamentary point with regard to the disposition of the resolution which it took some time to untangle was raised by Mr. Fitzgerald (N. Y.), but the speaker brought out a ruling by Speaker Crisp on a similar subject and abided by. Had Mr. Fits- gerald's point prevailed the effect would have been to have adopted the resolu tion without the preamble. Mr. Fitzgerald created laughter by referring to the speaker as the "whole business" in the house. He said that he had told some people, who had written him about wood pulp not to waste their time on the White House, because the president had in a degree recently lost his Influence with the. house. "We will stand by the president to the last ditch," he humorously re- marked, "and I expect we and the 1 president will go into the last ditch together." The majority leader, Mr. Pavne, criticized Mr. Williams for accepting as gospel truth what Herman Ridder says, and yet, he said, "of all the men who have submitted statistics to con gress, I know of no one who makes) more mistakes than this same Herman i Ridder."

Famous Violinist Will Be at Audi torium AVednesday. After an absence from Chicago of nearly eight years, Max Bendix, the great violinist, who is to give a con cert in the Auditorium here in Topeka on Wednesday, April 22, gave a con cert in Music hall, Chicago, last Octo ber, and this is what Glenn Dillard Gunn, the musical critic of the Chi cago Inter-Ocean said of his concert: "Max Bendix was welcomed back to Chicago by an audience that crowded Music hall when he appeared there Thursday night in violin recital. Among the men who have presided at the first violin desk of the Thomas orchestra few have attained so wide spread and lasting a hold upon the affections of the public as did Mr. Bendix. And, though it is eight years since Chicago has heard him in that capacity, his pleasing art and mag netic personality are evidently held by many in warm remembrance. "He chose to reintroduce himself to his Chicago friends and admirers in a programme evidently selected with a view to emphasizing his technical command of his instrument and his exceedingly suave, graceful, and tem peramental style. The opening num ber, the Mendelssohn concerto, was the most serious musical offering of the evening. The first two move ments I did not hear, but the finale was delivered with a clean cut. Incisive technic, a small but clear and penetrating tone and with abundant temperament. A stately larghetto by Nardini served as the best example of a noble and unaffected cantilene which the evening afforded, and the Corelli-Tartini variations grouped with it were given with delightful crispness and in faultless style. "In the third group, which com prised romanza by WilheimJ, canzon etta of d'Ambrosia, and 'Danse Espagnol' by Sarasate, Mr. Bendix seemed, however, to enter into a still more congenial atmosphere. Without exaggerating, he contrived to impart to the sentimentality of Wilhelmj Just enough emphasis to please the unmusical among his hearers with out offending the more serious ele ment, while his reading of the d'Ambrosia and Sarasate numbers was so delightfully piquant, so fault lessly finished from a technical stand point, and so aliVe with infectious rhythm and graceful nuance that it commanded the admiration of all." RE-ENFORCEMENTS SENT Russian Forces Are still Hard Pressed In Persia. Tifiis, April 21. On account of the threatening situation on the Persian frontier and the urgent demand for reinforcements received from tne com manders of the Russian forces in that district 2,000 men have been sent from here into the disturbed territory. These reinforcements will take several days to reach the scene of hostility, which Is 60 miles from the nearest railroad point through a different country. No further news from the commanders of the detachments at Belesuvar and Shirln, which are men aced by the Kurdish brigands, has been received here, but information has come in that communication along an important trade route southward from the Caspian sea. has been inter rupted by an uprising of the bandit population. As a result caravans are afraid to venture out of Lenkoran. BETRAYED BY HIS RIVAL. How F. Delmer, a Fort Riley Deserter, Was Apprehended. Here is more proof in support of the old adage that woman is the cause of most of man's troubles. F. Delmer, a deserter from Fort Riley over a month ago, was arrested at the Central hotel last night by the police on informa 6.

No time lost in experiments. Supply J. L. Moneypenny, Mgr. tion supplied by a young man who was Jealous of Delmer's attentions to the informer's sweetheart. A message last night from the fort verified the allega tion made against Delmer and an of ficer came after the delinquent sol dier today. True love never runs smooth. Del mer came here almost direct from the fort after he escaped and secured a Job as waiter in the. Central hotel. Having turned his thoughts from war's alarms to the softer Joys of life, the ex-soldier soon fell a victim to the charms of a pretty girl in. this city. His affection was returned and every thing was smooth sailing until -the girl's old sweetheart, thrust out in the cold by the new comer, determined to remove his rival by fair means or foul. He learned from Delmer's conversa tion with the girl that the successful suitor was a deserter from the army so he led the officers to the hotel and pointed out Delmer to them. Thus it has always been when man confides in woman. The healthy woman strong men tally and physically, whose ambi tion and magnetic influence urge men to deeds of grandeur and hero ism such women are all-powerfuL Weak, sick and ailing women have little ambition; their own trou bles occupy all their thoughts. They dwell upon their pains, suffer from nervousness and headaches; often are extremely melancholy, and avoid society. For thirty years LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND has been saving women from this awful condition. Aire. Louise Jung, of 332 Chestnut St., Detroit, Mich., writes I suffered from a very severe female weakness for a long time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, re stored my health. I hope it will do other women as much good as it has me." Mrs. Emma Wheaton, of Vienna, W. Va., writes to Mrs. Pinkham I was a walking shadow. My hus band insisted upon my writing to yoti and trying Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound, which I did. It re lieved all my pains and misery, and made of me a very different woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink, ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands oi women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feel ing; dizziness, or nervous pros tration. Why don't you try it Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., Invites all sick women to write tier for advice. rjoCIETY If Mr. Chauneey Dewey Bhould ever spring that hoary Jest, beloved of "hus bands, about having been' dragged to the altar and married in spite of his screams, Mrs. Dewey can call as wit nesses to the contrary every member of the large company which attended their wedding at Grace cathedral last night. For the bridegroom was so anxious to do his part that he couldn't wait for his cue and interrupted Bishop Millspaugh with an "I will" be fore the proper time for the response. One always expects Mere Man to get balled up on the marriage ceremony girls know it by heart from the time they are old enough to spell out the words in the prayer book and dream of themselves in the middle of the spotlight in a procession wedding and our worst fears were realized last night in Mr. Dewey's foozle. But it wasn't serious," because, although, when he interrupted the service with his premature "I will" a smile, begin ning in the chancel with the bridal party, rippled around the church, the little faux pas, only tended to lighten the almost painful solemnity of the occasion and probably it helped the bishop to get through the serious or deal of performing his daughter's mar riage ceremony with his usual impres sive dignity and without a trace of the nervousness the assembled friends had feared he might display. As for the bride, although she was suffering with a severe cold and was so hoarse yes terday that she could scarcely speak, she was able to repeat her responses audibly, well knowing that if she couldn't there were any number of other girls who would willingly be her proxy. Because, you may say what you please, there is no denying that the bishop's daughter won the catch of the local matrimonial market and, barring, of course, those who are en gaged t.o other men, Chauneey Dewey could have married any girl in the smart set. All weddings are described as beau tiful, but this one had features that 1 WPTfi out nf tho ArHInarv Tf isn'r every day you see a bishop officiating at the marriage of his daughter and you will travel a long way before you will see a lovelier bride than the one on whom all eyes centered last night. Always one of the most- beautiful girls in town, of a piquant. Oriental, un usual type. Miss Millspaugh looked particularly alluring in her wedding robes. Her rown was of white em broidered chiffon over ivory satin, the bodice combined with some rare old family lace dotted with seed pearls. She wore Mr. Dewey's bridal gift, a diamond' necklace, and a veil of tulle which covered her from the top of her dark head to the end of her long train and she carried a round bouquet of valley lilies, maiden hair fern and at last O frabjous Joy! lavender orchids! For many weary years the S. R. has been describing weddings of all sorts and conditics and wedding bouquets of varying degrees of splen dor, but never before in Topekar, Kansas, "has it been our pride and glory to record orchids, the most fash ionable and expensive blossoms a hriflp pan pa rrv Tint leave it to Chauneey Dewey! 'Well we knew his bride would carry orchids, wear a dia mond necklace, "the gift of the groom," and go to Europe on her wedding tour and all this ought to hold Emporia, Atchison, Leavenworth and Wichita until the end of time-. The decorationsT'j.iof' the- cathedral were very simple, consisting merely of the Easter lilies, spirea and palms used for the Easter service Sunday. Mrs. J. A. Campbell, the cathedral organist, played a prelude programme of about half an hour's duration while the dis tinguished company assembled. There were manv handsome new toilets and the dressing was quite ad libitum whatever that may be some of the women appearing hatless and decol lette. But the bishop of Kansas is not so horfully 'igh church as some and low-necked gowns and bare heads are usually in the majority at Grace ca thedral weddings. Mrs. Millspaugh and all the family party were without hats and Miss Nellie Millspaugh, the maid of honor, was bare headed and in a decollete gown. Indeed the bride had requested her girl friends not to wear hats in order that the occupants of the front pews might not completely obstruct the view of the ceremony from the guests in the back of the church. A charming detail of the decorations were the girls from the College of the Sisters of Bethany who occupied the balcony looking as fair as the flowers that bloom in the spring in their pretty light frocks. Some time before the "buzzer an nounced the arrival of the bridal party the Right Reverend Frank R. Mills paugh, bishop of Kansas and father of the bride, attended by the Very Rev. James Philip de Bevers Kaye, dean of Grace cathedral, entered the church from the vestry and took their places on either side of the altar within the chancel rail. When the Lohengrin wedding march was begun by the or ganist Mr. Dewey with his' groomsman and cousin, Mr. B. Walker Peterson, of Wheeling, West Virginia, took their places at the foot of the chancel steps. The ushers, Mr. Charles Ailing, Jr., of Chicago, with Mr. Clarkson Mills paugh, Mr. Joe Wilson and Mr. Paul Walker, and Mr. Guy Guernsey of Chi cago with Mr. Dan Hammatt led the processional. Miss Nellie Millspaugh, maid of honor, followed, alone, and the bride on the arm of her uncle, Mr. F. H. Davis of Omaha, came last. At the foot of the chancel steps the bride took Mr. Dewey's arm and Mr. Davis step ped back and Joined Mrs. Millspaugh in the front pew reserved for the fam ily on the left side of the church. The bride and bridegroom marched up to the chancel rail and the bridal party followed. When the bishop reached that part of the ceremony, "Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" he took his daughter's hand and placed it in that of the bridegroom. An effecting episode of the interesting ceremony was the kiss which the bride bestowed upon her father after he had Invoked the final blessing. It is the bridal recessional rather than the processional which gives the rubber necks in the congregation the.r chance. Nobody can see the gowns as they go up the aisle. The bride is swathed in her veil which covers her like a mist and there is no chance to get your eyes full. But as they go down the aisle while the organ peals the less dirge-like notes of the Mendelssohn wedding march the company gets a good look at the bridal party. Mrs Dewey was undeniably a rad iantly beautiful bride. Her toilet was perfect and her diamond necklace made the most blase and the well bred blink a little. Miss Nellie Millspaugh .was never so pretty as in her exquisite maid of honor's gown. It is of white chiffon embroidered in pink rosebuds and blue forget-met-nots, fashioned on an Em pire model, with low bodice, short sleeves, a girdle and sash of pink satin and a broad band of pink satin finish ing the trained skirt. Her coiffure was completed by a becoming garland of pink rose buds and maiden hair- fern and her bouquet was a gorgeous muff of maiden hair fern and Killarney roses with a shower of pink ribbons and Killarney roses that dropped almost to the hem of her skirt. Mr. Dewey and his cousin, Mr. Peterson,, wore bouton nieres of valley lilies and the ushers white carnations. The family party was most dis tinguished. Madam Millspaugh, the bishop's mother, and the bride's grandmother, attended the wedding, and wore a gown of black silk and white laco with a white lace cap. Mrs. Millspaugh, mother of the bride, was in a handsome gown of black chiffon and black lace over white silk. Her sister, Mrs. F. H. Davis of Oma ha, was in a rich costume of cream colored lace. Mrs. Thomas L. Davis of Omaha, a niece of Mrs. Mills paugh and a bride of only a few months, was in her bridal gown, one of the loveliest creations at the wed ding, of ivory satin and cream lace. Mrs. Charles Brooks Thomas wore a becoming toilet of pale gray tissue over white chiffon and silk Miss Hambleton was in black lace. Miss Mary Douglas Hambleton wore laven der silk mousseline, combined with white lace. Mrs. Helen Davis of Omaha was in white embroidered gauze and liberty satin. Miss Meliora Davis was in white muslin trimmed with val lace. Mrs. M. A. Zanner of Omaha, the bishop's sister wore black tissue over blue taffeta, Miss Amy Nelson of Ironwood, Mich., was in pink taffeta with a white hat trimmed with pink plumes. No formal invitations were sent out for the wedding reception, but about fifty of the wedding guestes, relatives, out-of-town people and especial friends of the bride and bridegroom were asked to the house after the ceremony at the church. This re ception was very informal. The bride cut the wedding cake and the ring was drawn by Miss Isabel Smith and when the bride's bouquet was thrown. Miss Smith was again lucky, but had to divide it, and the encouraging omen which attends the feat of catching it, with Miss Magill, of the Bethany faculty. Within fifteen minutes after they arrived at the Bishop s House Mr. and Mrs. Dewey had changed from their wedding attire to their travel ling clothes and before the guests realized it they had Jumped into an automobile waiting outside and were whisked away. Mr. Bill Drechsel, however, had his eye on them and he caught the end of the car and rode half a block before he was dumped. The car was driven by Mr. Paul Mul vane, who carried them away at an ordinance-defying speed to the cor ner of Seventh and Monroe where a carriage was waiting. The carriage conveyed them to the Santa Fe sta tion and they waited on the east side of the tracks for the eight-fifty Chi cago Limited, which they boarded without detection. Even the bride and her family did not know of Mr. Dewey's arrangements for getting away or their Immediate destination, and the Millspaugh family ana me bridal party thought this morning that they had gone out of town in the automobile. However, they are now in Chicago and will leave tonight or tomorrow for New York from where theysail May 3rd on the Mauritania for Paris, to spend a momn in a. med iterranean cruise. Mr. Dewey's political Interests (he is a candidate for the Republican nomination for congress and a dele gate to the national convention) de mand his early return to Chicago, and they will be at home after June 1 at the Metropole. 1 Topeka friends of Mr. I.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J0UH1IAL TUESDAY EVENITTQ. APRIL 21, 1C03. Absolutely Pure From Grapes, W the most healthful of fruits, comes the chief ingredient of The THEY'RE FOR GREEN. Toting People's Local Union Goes on Record Early. The campaign for mayor has already commenced though the election is ful ly a year away. The young people's local union, made up of religious socie ties from the various churches of the city, last evening adopted a set of res olutions declaring for Mayor Green for next year. There are some 38 religious societies represented and they are given from S to 6 delegates each to represent them at the sessions of the local union. About 3,000 young people are represent ed. "The action was taken to head oft any other law and order candidate," said Councilman H. B. Howard. "If another candidate presents himself he will have to get out and stand with the other fellows the wet crowd. We are not going to have a repetition of the fight we had last time when we had Swendson and Green fighting for recognition." The action was nrst taKen Dy the good citizenship committee of the un ion on the 14th about a week ago and endorsed last evening by the delegates to the local union who met at the Y. M. C. A. As Councilman Hughes is generally recognized as a candidate for mayor alty honors next spring and as he will not stand for being forced to assume the leadership of the "wet" forces the fight which will be precipitated will be an interesting one. Following are the resolutions: Whereas, It Is the policy of our local union to take part in all move ments in the interests of law and or der, and good citizenship and also be lieving that the proper time of doing work Is the time when it will be most effective; and, Whereas, It was the privilege of this society to make the first public request and official endorsement for the nomi nation of the Hon. William Green for mayor two years ago; therefore, be it Resolved, That we hereby earnestly request Mr. Green to be our candidate for re-election In 1909 and we hereby pledge him our earnest and undivided support if our request is granted. Be It further Resolved, That we hereby commend our honorable mayor for the splendid work he has accomplished in law en forcement, in the elevated tone and the splendid showing of every depart ment of the city administration, and especially for the exceptional record he has made in the economical and thorough management of the city's finances and obligation. Now we believe It due the citizens of Topeka to be given an opportunity to show their appreciation of such faith ful and such patriotic service (render ed at the sacrifice of his own business Interests) and also, be it Resolved, That the Topeka local un ion of young people's societies further petition all organizations interested in the permanent good of Topeka to Join with us in this request. Recommended by the good citizenship committee of T. I U., April 14, 1908, W. L. Stark, chairman; recommended Work has been man's lot since the creation, but a day of toil should not have its penalty of pain. Why is It, then, you ask, that vackache so of ten follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain xs thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which" have the work of filtering the blood free of waste and poison. The heavy tax of overwork the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. Is too great. The kidneys begin to fall In their work, and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down. Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble In the kidneys. An In flammation has set m, and a dis ordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent. Too much or too little urine, with a constant desire to void the secre tions; any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of a DOAN'S gold bj all dealera.

St. Mary's Will Be Here to Play Ball Thursday. Thursday promises to be a big day in Washburn athletic circles. The St. Marys college teams will compete with Washburn In tennis, baseball, the for mer being played in single and double events in the morning and the baseball game taking place in the afternoon. The ability of the Catholics is well known in baseball circles as they have probably the best college team In the state. The tennis standing of the col lege however is not well known. The tennis events will be played during the morning, commencing at ten o'clock and wiil take place on the court of the Topeka Tennis club at 1323 College avenue. Despite the double hoodoo at tached to the street number both teams are confident of winning. In the pre liminary games at Washburn yester day Montgomery and Bowman won the doubles and today these two will play for the honor of representing the col lege in the singles. Waghhnpn nnd St Mnrv's met In baseball earlier in the season at St. Marys and the Irish won by a score of 7 to 6.

New York, April 2L Bronson How ard, the dean of American playwrights, has been seriously 111 for some weeks, although the fact has just become known. Inquiries only elicited the in formation that Mr. Howard had been seriously ill for four weeks. A friend of Mr. Howard's explained last night that the family did not wish to have the fact of his Illness become known. He has been suffering with the same rheumatic malady with which he suffered while on his trip to Egypt, and at one time the physicians were much alarmed. However, he is now thought to be on the road to re covery. Mr. Howard's advanced age has made the attack more dangerous than It would nave been for a younger man. Weather Indications.
