Should Not Be Stricken Out, But Should Be Amended. They See Great Social Changes In the Near Future. Baltimore, May 7. The twenty flfth delegated session of the general conference of the M. E. church was called to order by Bishop Henry W. Warren of Denver. Delegates and Visitors were present from 24 coun tries. Rev. J. H. Hingely of Minne sota, secretary of the last general con ference was re-elected to that office by acclamation. The following telegram was direct ed sent to Speaker Cannon of the na tional house of representatives: "The Methodist general conference representing three million members tirges .continued exclusion of intoxi cating liquors from the branches of the national soldiers home." The address of bishops notes a gain In the number of communicants dur ing the past four years Of 2 78,357, the greatest gain during any similar per iod for 16 years. Other figures show the number of ministers in the annual conferences (not including local preachers) to be 19,353. an increase of 1,171; subject to appointment as pastors on trial and in full member ship 15,722; local preachers serving as pastors 4,439. The total "pastoral army" numbers 20,161. These, ac cording to the address, preach the gospel in thirteen languages and dia lects. The address continues: "The gain in the value of churches Is $28,149,604. the gain in parsonages la $4,528,871. The total gain In church property for the four years past Is $32,678,431, while the total valuation of our churches and parson ages is $186,924,024. The increase since the last general conference aver ages almost $8,200,000 each year. Our membership in the United States is 3.036,000, while in the whole world the number is 3,307,27,5, at the close of 1907. Our foreign communicants number 267,000." Figures are given showing that since the last general conference the value of educational grounds and buildings has increased $4,682,539 and is now $25,761,54 7; total endow ment $23,850,486, an increase ,ot $5, 860,384; and the value of educational property and endowment exclusive of debt, has increased $11,141,892 and Is now $47,569,532. Since 1904, there have been gains of 771 teachers and professors, 2,644 professional students and 2,763 col legiate students. Relative to investigation of charges of heresy by the bishops, the address says: "We are unanimously of the opin ion that the bishops ought not to be charged with any functions of inves tigations, these being foreign to the work to which they were appointed. "We believe that the functions of pre liminary investigation in these cases should be confined to the annual con ference of the body which has law ful Jurisdiction." Suppoit of Ministry. Touching support of the ministry the address says: "While we still insist that it is un wise to plan for emoluments in the church which are likely to make the accessories of salary and house more attractive than the work itself, it is of the highest wisdom to offer such sup port as secures freedom from anxiety as well as modest provision for Intel ligence, culture and edveation of chil dren. We believe that Inadequate esti mate for these things even in the great prosperity of recent years has kept many from our work, who, being nec essarily in debt already to our educa tional board or to relatives and friends for the cost of their education, feel that they can not wait until middle life before they can hope to repay those they owe." The matter of ministerial appoint ments is treated thus: "If there be increasing difficulties In any degree as to making appointments It is because of growing interference on the part of ministers and laymen with the Judgment of the bishops as to what is best for the work, 'since minis ters demand to be kept within the range of the more lucrative charges, because they have had one or two of that sort and they feel humiliated and degraded If they are sent even to a Bmaller education. Churches make it Impossible for the bishops i Justly ar range the work by insisting on appoint ments which, if granted, compel wide spread Injustice as to other members of the conference. Conferences pass resolutions protesting against trans fers without equivalent exchange and then wholly refuse transfer, thus put ting the appointing power where it must disappoint a church by sending a man not wanted, or crucify a man by sending him to a disappointed offi ciary, if not a disappointed church. This has reached a pass where the bishops are accused of tyranny and self-will when they do what the law of the church demands of them. "We keenly feel the embarrassment thus created by both ministers and churches, by proceedings wholly out Bide the law." Time Limit on Pastorates. It is declared that the church has not yet reached unanimity touching removal of the time limit from the pastorate, and on the subject of the brotherhood recommends that the con ference recognize a brotherhood of the Methodist Episcopal church and pro vide for incorporation of the brother hood in the economy of the local church, assume some general direction and enact such legislation as may be deemed necessary. Unification of the work of the deaconesses under a cen tral board is recommended. As to amusements and the book of discipline the address continues: "We are moved by a profound con viction of duty In again calling your attention to the Bubject of popular amusements in relation to the spirit and conduct of spiritual life. We re THURSDAY EVENING. gret that the general prevalence of harmful amusements does not dimin ish. We still firmly hold that they are antagonistic to vital piety, promotive of worldliness and especially pernicious to youth We recommend not that paragraph 248 be stricken out, but that it be amended by striking out the confessedly partial list of worldly amusements found therein, be ginning with the last word in the eighth line and ending with the word oiher in the eleventh line, which were inserted in 1872, leaving as the ground for church trial In case such trial be comes necessary that portion of the paragraph reading: 'Taking such amusements as are obviously of mis leading or questionable moral tendency as disobedience to the order and dis cipline of the church, and especially our original rule 'to taking such. diver sions as can not be used in the name of the Lord Jesus.' Grave Injustice will be done if this recommendation is interpreted as an abandonment of our early opposition to worldy amusement. Indeed it is a return to the principles and to the exact words rurmshed by John Wesley." In the course of a discussion of civic righteousness the address says: "We say clearly that within the next generation there are to be great social changes. The influence of wealth on political life and measures Is to grow less, whether it be in the hands of in dividuals or corporations. The working men are to have more power, the idlers less. With a restless and Iconoclastic future before us, we must both lead and restrain by religious forces. The social philosopher and the sociologist can detect injustices and wrongs, but he can never create the desire to rem edy the wrongs which are the issue of greed." Satisfaction is expressed that .there has been prevented "the re-establishment of the canteen and the fouling again of the nation's hand by direct participation in the sale of liquor." As to Divorce. "The consecutive polygamy permit ted by the divorce laws of some of our states is- a disgrace to our country. It continues to undermine family life and to break up into helpless and warring factions that which God means shall be a unit. We greatly rejoice that the conscience of the nation is being quick ened on this subject and that the de mand for uniform divorce laws in creases." As to Mormonism the bishops de- "We believe from the best evidence we can obtain that the polygamous practices of the past are still found in the states and territories occupied in part by representatives of the Mormon hHir. In several states they have such nautical strength and furnish such awmnnthetic luries that the law against such polygamous practices can not be executed. We believe that as in di vorce these must be brought within the scope of national legislation be fore the evils can be reached with suf ficient vigor to punish them as they deserve. We trust, therefore, you will consider whether it is not wise for vou to advocate some constitutional amendment, which will make polygamy and polygamous practices a crime asralnst the United States." In the section devoted to child la bor the address says: ''In the name of Jesus Christ we protest against the sacrifice of child hood on the altar of mammon, whether it be the sloth of parents or the greed of proprietors. We demand from legislators such laws as will, in securing freedom to children from ex hausting toil, contribute to the vitalitv. the growth and the moral power and moral sense of all youth ful employes." The bishops have something to say as to workingmen and the church and also to trade unions, a part being as follows: "For those who labor with their hands and whose reward is a wage the church has great sympathy. We hold the right of those workingmen who desir,e to do so to form labor unions for the advancement of their interests as we hold the right of in dividual laborers, who prefer to do so, to seek the control of their own la bor. The church and the trades unions should seek each other's help for the uplift of mankind. The church can not refuse its help and countenance to any one who pro fesses to accept its principles and to seek a better life, be he either capital ist or laborer. No where in the world does wealth manifest itis obligation to contribute to the public welfare as in the United States." The reading of the address fre quently was interrupted by applause as the venerable bishop's voice reach ed some telling point in the docu ment. When he read its scathing de nunciation of the liquor traffic he called upon the delegates to rise here, now and with the bishops pledge "eternal enmity to this foe of ma and God," the entire assemblage sprang to its feet, uttering cheer af ter cheer. One of the delegates start ed to sing "America." The great throng caught up the hymn and the hall resounded with its strains. As the last refrain ceased some one be gan the hymn "Glory, Glory, Hallelu jah, Our God Is Marching On." This new outlet for the enthusiasm which seemed to grow was seized upon and to the tune of "John Brown's Body," the verse was repeated several times. Tremendous handclapping greeted the announcement of the position of the bishops on the subject of amuse ments. Reports of the various boards and the special commission appointed by the last general conference were then made. LANDED ON A RAFT. Automobile Made a Leap of 75 Feet From Shore. Seattle. May 7.

Students' Herald Says Name Has Been Handicap. Has Kept Away Many Pros pective Students. No longer call It "The Kansas State Agricultural College." but let It be known as Kansas State College! Down with the word "Agricultural!" Get rid of the misleading idea that this Is a school to teach farmers! This Is a great university and demands credit for it! This is the substance of a new dec laration of independence which was is sued Wednesday at Manhattan in the issue of the Students' Herald, publish ed by the students of the "Kansas State College." An editorial in this paper announces that the time has come for the Institu tion to drop the word "agricultural" from Its title; that it handicaps grad es of the BChool to have It stated that they studied at an "agricultural" college; and that henceforth the policy of the paper will be to retrain entirely from using the word "Agricultural" In speaking of the school. "Kansas State College" will be the official title. In the center of the first page there is printed a large display advertisement, wnicn reads as follows: "Kansas State College of "Agriculture, engineering, architecture. domestic science, general science, vet erinary science, printing. As it Is tms great institution has grown from a sln- eln colleee to a collection of colleges, every department of which rightfully belongs here. This rather startling declaration that "agriculture" is oasse as appilea to the big Manhattan school will be nuts and raisins to the Kansas university crowd, which has been contending all alone- that President Nichols and the "Nichols crowd" at Manhattan aspire to develop at Manhattan another state university, similar in all respects to the university at Lawrence. The Students' ITerald at Manhattan. In its attacks on F. D. Co burn, has seemed to voice the sentiments of President Nichols.-and in its fight to change the name of the Agricultural college it will probably be accused ol advocating rresment niviv ols' views. President Nichols, It Is said, at one time -wanted to abolish entirely the chair of agriculture at the college, and substitute therefor a chair of "agro nomy" which means the same thing but eliminates the noxious word "agri culture." Just why the college should be trying so hard to prove that it Isn't an agricultural school is rather difficult to understand. The effort to change the name of the State Agricultural college follows as a natural result the tendency which has been manifested to change the original character of the school to include other branches. It has been suggested recently that the school should be given the name of the "Kansas Tech nology Institute." but evidently the Students' Herald thinks that is too far to Jump at once, and it favors merely dropping the word "Agricultural" from the title. The following are some extracts from the editorial which announces the change in name for the school: "The agitation recently renewed to have our college known by its proper name promises not to die out" as have otner previous enorts iook ing toward this desired change. The old saying that there Is nothing In a name receives a knock out blow here; suffice it to say that there is enough in our present name to have handi capped graduates and students out in life, and to have kept away many prospective students and in general to have given the people of the state who are its supporters, aa well as the people throughout the country, an en tirely erroneous impression of the scope of the school. There are still a few who insist that the alteration is advocated merely from a motive to get rid of that cause of all would be humorous and stale Jokes perpetrated by other schools the word 'Agricul tural.' To be sure we are going to be rid of this misleading term, but It is not because we are ashamed of it. It is now definitely known that to make this change it Is but necessary for the proper authorities, whether they be the board of regents, or the governor, or the legislature, to take the action, there being nothing In the conditions of the establishment of the college, to hinder it as was for a time supposed, and which heretofore has been the only logical reason ad vanced against the change." WOMEN BUY BONDS. Anxious to Invest Their Savings Topeka Securities. in Women the rich things. That's what they seem to be in Topeka. They are active bidders for Topeka city Don as ana whenever you say bonds, well, visions float upwards of pachts. automobiles, race horses, and all those sort of .things that cost money to keep going. Twelve women, count them, twelve, called at one of the local trust com panies in one day to inquire about the bond issue which Topeka- is-about to issue. The amount of the bonds will run close to $75,000 and they are a cover the cost of the new paving Im provements. The bonds. bear 5 per cent interest and run for from one to ten years. The city has Deen nxing up a scheme to make a popular sale of the bonds to investors who will take small amounts. The bonds under the new state tax law escape taxation. To continue about the women, one of them who works oy the -week stated that she wanted to buy one of the bonds costing 50U. A few men have called but the wo men seem to nave the cash. i "1 believe that we will be able to ffOPEKA, KANSAS, ,MAY 7, 1908. sell the whole bond issue," said May or wm. ureen toaay. "One merchant told me he wanted to Invest $2,000 in them." "I think we will be able to sell the city electric light bonds at 4 per cent interest. The j bonds run for twenty years and wjll be the highest class' of Investment.' MUSTY WITH AGE. Suit Over a Koto Given in Topeka in 1874. The 12 jurymen who sat In the case of Franklin M. Bain, administrator of the estate of Jane Watson, deceased, vs. Carrie E. watson et al., heirs or the estate of Adam Watson, deceased. In the district court this morning have a big Job on -their hands, for the rest of the day. They must decide what amount is now due on a Jjote for $2,000 made by Adam Watson In 1874 to Jane Watson," his sister,-' payable three years from date with interest at the rate of 7 per cent. There are 29 endorsements of payments on the back of this old note which was introduced In court. The plaintiff claims that about $3,400 principal and interest is still due on this $2,000 note after deducting all pay ments, while the defendants claim that the interest has been paid to date and that only $1,000 remains -unpaid on this obligation. The case is extraordinary In many respects. It Is a -suit to foreclose a mortgage on a note made 34 years ago by Adam Watson,, an old Topeka pio neer, to his sister, Jane Watson. The old stone building at the northwest corner of Eighth street and Topeka avenue is covered by the mortgage. Both the signer of the note and the lady to whom it was assigned are dead and gone. Their heirs are now con ducting and defending the suit. The note in question is a half sheet of let- o-r- natwr -vellnrw with acre, and cover ed over every faction of an Inch of space on the back with-endorsements during a period of nearly 30 years. Judge Dana In his instructions to the 1urv declared that their duty was to determine the amount due' the estate of Jane Watson from the estate of Adam Watson on this note. They must fig ure principal and Interest at 6 per cent for 34 years ana t aeauci me ioiai amount of the 29 payments on the note. They must determine whether or not these payments, or what number of them, were made as payment oi inter net an A which sums were paid as prin cipal. A simple task, truly. There Is a difference of about $1,400 in the claims of the parties to the suit. The plaintiff claims that all the payments on the unnlleA tn the interest. While livfcc w "ft- the defendants allege that $1,000 of these payments went to wipe out the principal and the remainder were ap nlled to keeping the interest paid up. The case was given to the Jury at noon today. Garver Garver. appeared for the plaintiffs, and Charlton Stone for the defendants. FOR ROOSEVEJ YET. But Vtah Republic Probably Will Vote Tor lWt, Salt Lake City. Utah,- May. 7. When Temporary Chairman Daniel IX Houtz of the Republican state convention said in his opening speech today that he had met many "who believed In retir ing President Roosevelt from (-office-four years hence," he opened- the floodgates of Republican enthusiasm, It was evident that the assemblage was in accord with those whom the tem porary chairman had "met" While the delegates to be elected to Chicago will favor the nomination of Secre tary Taft for president it will not. be so Instructed as the utan Republicans will close no avenue that might be opened for the renomi nation of the president. Committee appointments were not made until noon and the convention will not finish its business until late in the day. A contest is promised on a resolution favoring the nomination oi a candidate for United States senator by referendum vote of the party. It is not likely to carry. There is little in terest in the platform. Senators Smoot and Sutherland and Representative Howell will head the delegation to the Chicago convention. SHIP STILL AGROUND. She Went Ashore a Week Ago and Crew Remains on Board. New 'York, May 7. High waves and the strong northwest wind have driven the big German ship Peter Rickmers half a mile further In and on the bar on which she grounded a week. ago. Three of her four masts have been torn out and today the tug's which have been standing by her were com- Selled to abandon her on. account of eavy seas. The Rickmers'. crew is still aboard and the life lines have been run out to her by the life savers preparatory to the rescue of the im periled men. JfO FROST LAST NIGHT. Weather Man Says That AU Banger Is Past The unsettled weather conditions which have existed in Kansas for the past few weeks are In all probabilities past for a time at least, and sunshine and higher temperatures are expected to prevail for awhile. The temperature has been slowly rising for the past 24 hours and the upward climb will con tinue today and Friday. The predicted frost did not occur in this section of the state last night. though a heavy frost occurred at Dodge City and at other points in the state. The sky is dotted with cloud patches today as viewed from the To peka observatory, though at that the sun has shone most of the time. Light showers fell in eastern Kansas and western Missouri during the past 24 hours and the temperatures have been safely above the-freeaing point ex cepting in the extreme western portion of the state. The Kaw river at this point Is slowly falling and within a few hours will be within easy reach of the normal mark. The temperatures today in Topeka were: 7 o'clock ...44 11 o'clock ;'.B2 12 o'clock.. ......52 8 o'clock... 47 9 o'clotfk.. ..50 10 o'clock... ..,..52 1 o'clock.. ..64 2 o'clock i.64 Weather Indications.

HOW WOMAN WORKED Men Were Lured Through a Matrimonial Advertisement. Was After a Brother of One of Her Tlctims. Laporte, Ind.. Mav 7. AAriltinnni light on the methods by which Mrs. Bell Guinness caused the deaths on her farm of the persons who are sup posed to have fallen victims to her lust for money, was shed early this morning by Ask K Helgelein, brother of Andrew Helgelaia of Mansfield, S. D., whose dismembered cornftA Is among the nine found yesterday and the day before Helgelein told the coroner that not only had his brother been in communication with the wo man, but also that she had written to him after Andrew's disappearance in an attempt to Induce him to visit this city. "Sell your brother's mtnnTr nnH rnma here and we will hunt your brother together," was the gist of the epistles written in Norwegian and as yet only partially translated. The lnttRra nr Jealously guarded by Helgelein under oruora ui xiaipn jn. smith, prosecuting attorney, but enough was revealed to show that the woman had not hesi tated to dare to attempt to gain a hold over the nearest relative of her latest victim. Rain may interfere with fnrfhr humation today on the death en shrouded farm of Mrs. Guinness. Sheriff Smutzer announced that unless the downpour which began early morning ceases' it will be impossible io explore tne lawn or the homestead where it Is believed more bodies have been concealed. Roy Lamphere. accused of first de gree murder in connection with the incineration of Mrs. Guinness and her children, is expected to be a center of interest today. Efforts to connect him more closely with the appalling series of violent deaths will be made by the public prosecutor, although that offi cial asserted yesterday that sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner of complicity in the murders is already in his possession. Lamphere revealed yesterday that his former employer had urged him to insure his life in her favor, asserting that Mrs. Guinness had ottered to pay the premiums on such a policy, providing he agreed to marry hen- He also-said that he believed -thatf''- his refusal to fall in with her plans had caused the enmity which she later manifested toward him, resulting in his arrest on three occasions and his trial before a lunacy commission on a fourth. Lamphere's statement about a closed room In the Guinness home to which, he asserted, he was always denied admission, is partially cor roborated by the evidence of Joseph Maxson, who was working on the farm when the house caught fire April 28. Maxson asserts that he had never been allowed access to the second story -of -the farm house where the closed room was located. Ask K. Helgelein of Mansfield, S. D., was in conference with Dr. C. S. Mack, coroner of the county, until long after midnight. The steps by which the Norwegian farmer became infatuated with the Indiana woman were can vassed once more, but only partial progress was made toward clearing the mystery- Helgelein told again of the secrecy with which his brother had shrouded his movements before his ae parture from South Dakota. Enough was evolved to show that advertise ments for a matrimonial agency had been printed In Scandinavian papers in, the northwest,- Helgelein asserting that a single sheet printed In Norwegian and full of such notices had been cir culated among his acquaintances. The circumstances lead the investi gators here to believe that Mrs. Guin ness established communications with her victims through this agency, such a premise accounting for her relations with Ole B. Budsberg, the farmer of Iola, Wis., whose sons are expected here today. It is reported that the Iola men will bring with them copies of the advertisements which lured their father to his death. Bessie Conklin, a young woman re siding In Michigan City, Ind., whose former home was in Laporte, has been arrested by Sheriff Smutzer and is be ing held in jail as an important wit ness. The woman was a friend of Ray Lamphere, who is accused of complici ty in the murders at the Guinness home. Miss Conklin Is not accused of complicity, but her testimony Is con sidered of so great importance that she will remain locked up until the grand Jury hears her testimony next week. It Is said that Lamphere while talk ing to Miss Conklin made threats against Mrs. Guinness and said that he had information which if disclosed would hang Mrs. Guinness. "He told me that Mrs. Guinness had to be good to him, or he would make It hot for her and send her to the gallows," said Miss Conklin to Sheriff Smutzer. She also added that Lamphere- was "crazy Jealous" over Mrs. Guinness. 4 Coroner Mack has received from Ask Helgelein a deposition, accord ing to the statements, in which i Lamphere win be called upon for an explanation of some, statements he is said to have made. Helgelein says in his deposition that Mrs. Guinness wrote him and in the letter said that Lamphere told her that he had met a man from Mans field, S. D., who told him that Andrew Helgelein was in Mansfield and in tended to stay there for some time. Mrs. Guinness said In the same letter that she had been expecting to hear from Andrew for some time that Andrew Helgelein had been hi Chi cago for two days and had written her not to write him until she heard from him again, that he was going to New York and thence to Norway. The statement of Mrs. Guinness does not agree with that of Lamp- hCMrs. Guinness wrote Ask that the letter -of Andrew was left in the kitchen while she went out to milk and that Lamphere had stolen It or it had been burned. She enclosed a piece of letter, which had. been found THURSDAY EVENING- in the barn been. where Lam phere had In answer to a question as to how much money Andrew had, she said she did not know, but she had gotten some of it and had given a mortgage on her place. t Ask made a search of the records at La Porte, but can find no trace ot a mortgage. Mrs. Guinness, in answer to anoth er -question, said in the letter that Andrew left her place about 1 o'clock January 15 or 16, and her 11-year-old daughter drove him Into town, as he was going to Michigan City to remain over a day. Several days ago Lamphere told the police officers that Andrew Hel gelein left on the 6:10 train on the Lake Shore road. Intend-in p tn trn tn .Chicago. Because of the heavy rain It was decided shortly before noon that no further digging would be done upon the Guinness farm today. The work will be resumed tomorrow. Coroner Mack today turned over to a local unaertaker for preservation the remains supposed to be those of Andrew Helgelein. Dr. Mack announc ed that he had taken this action be cause he was still far from convinced as to the identity. Coroner Mack in his verdict will find that the three children whose bodies were found in the ruins of the Guln ness home were murdered and were struck in the forehead with a hammer or other Instrument, prior to their burning. The little boy had a large hole in the front of his -skull and it was beBeved at first that the hole had been made by a falling brick. The investigation, however, shows that each of the other children has a hole in the forehead and that the flames had eaten through the cracks and caused quite a large hole in each of the skulls. It has also developed that on the af ternoon before Helgelein disappeared Ray Lamphere was sent to Michigan City by Mrs. Guinness to await the coming of a man named John Moo, her cousin. Mrs. Gudnness told Lamphere to wait until night for his arrival from Chi cago and that if he did not arrive that Lamphere should stay all night and come back the next morning. The cousin did not arrive and Lamphere returned to the Guinness home the next morning: Mrs. Guinness told him that he could have the day oft and go to town. He spent the day in town. He returned the next morning and she said: "You did not get back in time to see him before he went." Lamphere asked whom she meant and then she told him Helgelein had left for Chi cago on the afternoon before. That was the last seen of Helgelein. Her Advertisement. Chicago, May 7. Following is Mrs. Guinness' matrimonial advertisement with Which victims were lured to death: Personal--Comely widow who owns large farm In one of the finest districts in Laporte county, inaiana, desires to make the acquaintance of gentleman equally -well provided, with views of Joining fortunes.

TUCKER CASECOSTS. Will Be Between Seven and Thousand Dollars. Eighf The cost of prosecuting H. H. Tuck er, Jr., promoter of the Uncle Sam Oil company, that is the court costs which include witness fees, the three grand Juries,- and other Inci dentals of serving subpoenas, etc, to gether with the salaries of the gov ernment's employes who were engag ed on the case will run up close to $7,000 or $8,000. The Jury which heard the testimony and returned the verdict will receive alone about $1, 200, the Jurors being paid from J80 to $125 apiece. If Tucker had been found guilty he would have been forced to meet the court costs which would have mount ed close to $3,000 or $4,000, but as It is the government will have to dig down into its wallet and put up..

From the dead messenger the robbers took the keys to a small safe in the baggage car, which they opened and robbed of Its contents, in all worth less than a hundred dollars. A big safe in the car which contain ed a large sum of money and the combination of which is known only to clerks of the company in the prin cipal stations along the route, was tampered with, but the robbers were unable to enter it. The body of the messenger was discovered, by G M. Bishop, chief night clerk of the Globe company's office at the Denver union depot., and B. M. Peterson, his assist ant. These -men went to the car to get express and could not get through the door which should have been opened by WTright. Wright was ly ing beside tne big safe in a pool of blood.

Causes Death of Four Persons and Injury of Twelve. New York, May 7. Pour persons were killed and twelve- injured early today in a fire believed to be of Incen diary origin which practically de stroyed the five story tenement house nLiVi UFcnanrrSireeu xzua (tuiiuiust- is witluh a tonertftrew:' of "--Delancy and Allen streets, where -twenty-six persons were burned to 1 death In a tenement house fire three years ago. The Dead. EVA BERG, 53 years old. SAMUEL SACH, 10 years old. HATTIE KOPLEMANN, 2 years old. AN UNIDENTIFIED MAN. The fire was first seen by a police man when the flames were shooting from windows in the lower part of the house. His call for help brought sev eral other officers to his assistance and in a moment nearly every one in the house had been aroused and the fire escapes were choked with fright ened tenants. The police carried sev eral children to the ground before the firemen arrived. By that time the fire escapes were so packed with men, women and children that no one could get down. While persons in the building who had been unable to get out because all the windows lead ing to the fire escapes were crowded, struggled for exit on one side, the fire men on extension ladders labored on -the other. One by one women and children were dragged from the over loaded platforms by the firemen and carried down the extension ladders to the street and safety. More than a hundred persons were taken from the fire escapes In this way. In the meantime those who had been forced to remain in the blazing house had been having a serious time. Some of them, finding escape by. windows and stairways blocked, sought to get out on the roof. Not one of them suc ceeded in reaching the roof, however, as the-flames had swept up the stair ways and spread all through the upr per part of the building. It was while .attempting to reach tne upper part of the house that little Hat tie Kopelmann lost her life and her mother had- a remarkably: narrow escape from death. Mrs. Kopelmann had gone out on a nre escape intending to make her way to, the roof as the flames were sweeping around the lower part of the Iron ladder. She had the child In her arms, when she stepped through the window to the platform. A misstep caused ner to tan ana as sue struck the side of the plutform Hattie fell from her arms and rolled through the opening in the platform to the plat form of the floor below which was red hot. There the child was burned to death before any one could reach her. Mrs. Kopelmann rolled across the open but saved herself from falling through. Mrs. Eva Berg and the Sach boy were burned to death In their rooms.apparently having been overcome by smoke while asleep.

The Oklahoma City papers which generally use Jeff Davis expressions In taiKlng or the Hutchinson team and of Jay Andrews, are complimenting the work of Butch Froeze, the Salt Packer bacKstop. Froeze played with the Omaha Western league pennant winners last season. Last season Peg Bemis. the Oklaho ma City twirler, was considered the hard luck player of the league. But the wheel of fortune seems to have taken a turn in his favor. Bemis won his first game against Enid Sunday and in addition to his superb pitching Knocked tne nrst nome run In Okla homa City and as a prize for the first homer he receives his laundry, baths, shaves and shines gratis during the entire season. That don't sound much like hard luck. The Joplin fans are beginning to regret the loss of Pitcher Frank New ton, who Jumped the team because he was not allowed to draw a little ad vance salary. In a semi-professional game in southeastern Missouri a few days ago, Newton pitched a no-hlt game and now the Joplin fans are clamoring for his return and it is likely that he will be secured before the first of June. The game was postponed again yes terday afternoon on account of the grounds being slightly dampened. The redeeming feature of the postponed games However, is tne fact that the fans will get to witness a couple of double headers with the Midgets.. The Midgets have two Sunday dates in Topeka. They play here July 5 and September 6 and It Js probable that double headers will be arranged for these dates. Manager Risley took his band of Midgets out of the city right after dinner yesterday. Dud is meeting it pretty hard this trip. At Joplin he had to borrow money to get his team out of town and here in Topeka the team only got one game. The Midgets open up at Webb City tomorrow. The Joplin team which plays here this afternoon is almost an entirely new aggregation. Johnny Flllman is managing the team and has gathered together a pretty fast bunch of young sters. Behind the bat be has Haw kins, who Is touted as a good catcher. In the box are Beckenbaugh, Evans. Shaner and Moore. Of these Shaner is the only player known In Topeka. Tom Reed of the Springfield aggrega tlon for the past two seasons is doing stunts around the Initial sack! Wan ner Is playing second and Is said to be a marvel around this position. Eddie Noyes, a popular player here. Is fitting into third base quite tileelv and Ol son, a brother to our Emory is play ing short again. In the outfield are Flllman, Harrington and Sheldon, all good men. Harrington is being used temporarily behind the bat while Hawkins Is laid up with injuries and Wanner has a crippled leg. But oth erwise Flllman Is ready to give the locals a good hard battle. Catholic Clergy at White House. Washington, May 7.- The president emeruuiiea tit mncneon tjardinal Loeue.

The club wants the fight for the night of the great English Derby. Zervatius, a New York sporting man, is willing to bet $5,000 even on the chances of Johnson. Supporters of Burns are now putting the matter of his meeting Johnson squarely up to him. They frankly admit that he must either fight Johnson or Quit rour fiushing. Johnson claims Burns simply does not want to fight him. He says: "The whole truth of the matter Is that Burns does not want to fight me. It is he and not me who has a yellow streak. He could not whip me if I was sick." Burns called at the National club late at night and when told of the offer by the organization he declined the match. He said: "I am sorry the club can not see its way to offer a purse s big as I think the fight demands or as that offered me elsewhere. I am not fighting for the love of the game and I would have liked to have met Johnson here, but members will understand my posjtion when I decline the offer." WHY BURNS WILL "COME HOME.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come into general favor In many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has also met with the approval of physicians gen erally because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, obtained by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially, and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Cal ifornian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy, and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of.Figs and Elixir of Senna always has, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.

Roads Cannot Sell Tickets Cov ering Stage Bides. NOT COMMON CARRIERS Roads Were Selling Tickets Less Than Tariffs. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Tourists to Yellowstone park this summer will be obliged to travel un der entirely new conditions. The In terstate Commerce commission has Interfered with the arrangements of the roads and refuses to approve the methods that have been followed heretofore. The roads will not be al lowed to continue the practice of making through rates or sell tickets covering the cost of the stage ride and meals and lodgings at the hotels in the park. The reason for this action by the commission is that the stage lines are not common carriers within the meaning of the interstate commerce act, and, therefore, the commission cannot control the tariffs that might be used to set forth the joint rates. It has been understood that the railroads have been in the habit of giving a bonus to the company operat ing the hotels and running the stage line on each passenger cared for. The rate from Chicago, including all expenses of a week's trip through the park, has been J 8 4. 50. Out of this sum the railroads have paid the hotel and stage line company $46.50, leav ing $39 as the roads' share of the through rate. The lowest tariff rate to the end of the rail route has been $50, so that the arrangement has had the effect of making the roads sell tickets at less than tariff rates, and it is to this feature of the case that the Interstate Commerce commission ob jects. It is probable that the Northern Pacific road will be the chief loser by the refusal of the commission to permit the continuance of the old ar rangement. That road is the owner of the stage line and controls the hotels within the park. To make the business profitable, it has obliged the other roads to grant It. such a division of the through rate as has created the condition on which the commis sion objects At one time the Northern Pacific had a monopoly on the traffic, be cause It was the only road that had a line anywhere near the entrance to the park, but now the Harriman lines have established an entrance on the west side and the government has blasted a passage from the Big Horn valley. rne .Northern Pacific, how. ever, still controls the stage line and the hotels, and so long as it had these and the old arrangement was allowed to continue It could maintain its monopoly. Just what the outcome of -the de- SOME STOMACHS Are hurt by Coffee POSTUM Can be assimilated by the weakest stomach "There'a a Reason' cmiiincf fares thev rorrm and Dlav laxative remeay is required. ciaion will be has not been decided. The simplest solution seems to be for the roads to sell tickets to the en trances at the regular tariff rates, and allow tourists to deal directly with the stage line and hotel company. The effect of this would be to deprive the Northern Pacific of Its bonus on the traffic. PERSUXENT PROSPERITY ViU Follow Present Conditions, Says Vanderbilt Official. W. C.

FRISCO CLOSES SHOPS. About Two Hundred -Men Out 'In definitely at Springfield. Springfield, Mo., May 7. Orders were posted at the Frisco shops here this morning that they would be closed for an indefinite period. The order clos ing the shops came unexpectedly. The employes went to workas usual at 7 o'clock this morning, but were, imme diately called in and notified of. the action of the officials. Local officials say they have no knowledge as to when the shops will be reopened. The forces of men In the back shops are not ef fected by the order as they are need ed to make running repairs on locomo tives. The Frisco has two big shops loca ted in Springfield, one on the north side, and the other on the south side of the city. The shops have shut down on several occasions since last fall. but have always reopened within ten days or two weeks. The retrenchment policy of the road regarding the shops is general in all points on the system, and about 2,000 men were effected to day. No work has been done on the new car shops of the Frisco now in course of erection here for several months. Work on many of the buildings was started last fall, but when the string ency in the money market began to be felt all work was suspended. Work on them may not be resumed before a year. Business on the Frisco system has not been so ngnt in years as at the present time. FAVORED BY RIPLEY. Santa Fe President Would Double Freight Rates. Santa Barbara, May 7; Before leav ing last night for his home in Chicago, President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe. declared himself in favor of an ad vance in freight rates as the best means of obtaining money for needed improvement by roads. Mr. Ripley declared that existing rates might be almost doubled without the average consumer reeling it. Transportation, he said, is the only commodity tne price oi wnicn naa not advanced from 25 to 75 per cent in the past ten years. "In order to perform their duties to the public," said Mr. Ripley, "railroads must either cut wages or advance rates, preferably the latter." Winchell, Jr., Quits Railroading. Chicago, May 7. Benjamin L.

He has found from the experience of his father, he says, that the' life of a railroad official is made full of grief by the incessant demands of politi cians.

Hare Sent Oat Postal .Card Re- wards as Did" Warren. 4 AS APPEAL TO REASON Many of the Hen Adrertised for Had Never Been Indicted. Attorney Darrow Asks Judge West to Commence Action. Fort Scott, Kan., May 7. Attorneys Darrow and Boyle, for the defense of Fred Warren, of Girard, in federal court here,, have started a backfire which may involve many Kansas sher iffs in trouble in the federal court. Warren is accused of sending through the mail an offer of a reward for the arrest 'of ex-Governor Taylor of Kentucky. Now Warren's .attor neys argue that if he is guilty of mis using the mail by sending such an of fer through the mail, the sheriffs who send out postal card rewards offers are likewise guilty. After the federal court postponed the Warren case until next term, Warren's attorney handed to Judge West, who is with the grand Jury, 300 postal cards which have been sent out by sheriffs offering a reward for the arrest of criminals wanted on different charges and asked that an indictment be re turned against each of them for send ing such matter through the United States mails. Warren had been arrested for send ing envelopes offering a reward for the return of ex-Governor Taylor of Kentucky to that state from Indiana, where he is now protected, and it is the contention of the attorneys that Warren committed no greater offense than the officers of the law who sent out other reward cards, some of which bore a picture of the men wanted. Of the 300 men advertised for on the cards, many had never been indicted on. the charge on which1 they were wanted. The result of the findings of the Jury will be watched for with Interest, by those interested In the Warren case. TO RENT AN OFFICE THERE. Ase't Attorney General Shukers Ex pects Hard Fight In Ieavenworth. Leavenworth, May 7. Charles D. Shuk'ers, assistant attorney general has arrived in Leavenworth and serv ed notices to take -depositions in the injunction cases pending in the dis trict court against persons alleged to have been engaged in the illicit sale of liquor in Leavenworth. Notices were served on Frank Fitzwilliams, Ben F. Endres, Floyd Harper and A. E. Dempsey, attorneys for defendants In a number of the liquor cases. The attorneys- are notifleVl that the deposi tions of several witnesses will be tak en at the law office of W. C. Trickett In Kansas City, Kan., on next Friday. Mr. Shukers refused: to say who these witnesses were but it is quite generally believed tonong-persons in close touch with the situation that it is the intention, of the attorney gen eral to take the testimony of detec tives who are employed to' seek evi dence here against the alleged saloon keepers, and. who for some reason he prefers not to bring Into court here. The cases in which these deposi tions will apply are among the later injunction suits filed by the attorney general. They are ten in number. These persons are joint defendants with the owners of the properties and are liable for the cost of the actions if the injunctions are sustained. "I expect to be in Leavenworth three or four days every- week this summer," said Mr. Shukers, "and I am considering the advisability of renting an office here. This is going to be a long hard -fight in Leaven worth and the people that thought that it would only be a matter of a few months at most to settle it have been disillusioned by this time." ASK FOR REFINERY RECEIVER. Northrnp Bank Claims Humboldt Concern Owes Them Thousands. Iola, Kan., May 7. An application has been made in district court for the appointment of a receiver for the Webster Refinery company at Hum boldt. Notice Is given that the appli cation will be held before Judge Foust at chambers on May 12. The suit is brought by Northrup National bank, through their attorney, Baxter D. Mc Clain. According to-the petltien the Web ster Refinery company through its authorized agents in 1905 made a note for $10,000 to Northrup National bank and gave as security a mortgage on the refinery property situated west of Humboldt near the K.aty railroad. It was stipulated in the mortgage that whenever the company failed to meet all assessments or taxes legally made against them, paid all interest to date, paid notes as- they fell due that the deed covering tne property snouia De- come absolute and the title should vest in the bank. It is charged that they have failed to pay the taxes and assessments, keep the property Insured and in repair, have contracted and are contracting large outstanding ob ligations, permitting the property to become inadequate toward liquidating these obligations and that the security Is becoming less every day and that unless a receiver is appointed the creditors will lose. The plaintiff says he is acting for himself and other creditors. New Chapel for Concordia. Concordia, May 7. The new chapel of the Sacred Heart at the- convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Just com pleted at a cost of about $100,000, was formally dedicated here Wednes day. A feature of the day was the re ception of fourteen young women into the sisterhood of the order. The new chapel, which adjoins the 'convent on the east, is one of the handsomest and most Imposing structures of Its kind la the west. Concordia Makes a Saving. Concordia, May 1 The city has entered into a contract with the Con cordia Electric Light company to do its pumping by electricity and will therefore "find it necessary to spend i $10,000 less for waterworks improve ments than was expected at tne re cent electionwhen $42,000 water im provement bonds were voted.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the fuC day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. If Harry K. Thaw had only been as rug-Red two years ago as he now la af ter his confinement In a criminal in aane asylum, he might have given Stanford "White a good' beating up and let it go at that. Financial writers report that sugar earnings are good despite the depres sion in other lines of business. It is hard to see how they could he anything else with the trust having been able to maintain the prices it has. Everything is lovely and the goose is hanging particularly high these days with the battleship fleet. "Fighting Bob" Evans has returned and taken personal command again. Here's hop ing that his health continues to Im prove. Chicago is to start a vigorous cam paign against flies. Why wouldn't it be. a good plan for those back of the movement to enlist the services of the many ball players for which the town is famous? They seem to be sure death on them. In the retirement of W. L. Taylor from the affairs of the various com panies that are connected with the Topeka-Southwestern railway project, these organisations lose the man who has made possible the construction of the road. If the road is built within a year or ten years from now the credit for its existence will belong to Mr. Taylor Just the same. From the bitterness that is being in jected into the campaign for the Re publican gubernatorial nomination, it Is hard to believe that the losing side will be able to forget the acrimonies being indulged in and pitch in with any enthusiasm to help the successful can didate against a common enemy. It seems certain that one of the accom plishments of the primary law may be the renting asunder of the Republican party in Kansas. And there is corres ponding glee among the Democrats. There is plenty of evidence on hand that the recent financial and Industrial panic did not put Mr. Harrlman in a pessimistic mood. Neither has his con fidence been shaken in the development of the great west. He got the Union Pacific stockholders to authorise a bond issue of $100,000,000, most of which he Is going to keep on hand for the fu ture improvement of the property and the acquisition of new lines. Harrl man is a far-sighted individual and he hears, as does everyone else who has his ear to the ground, the noise of an approaching era of prosperity in the west that will make all other previous efforts along this line look like the pro verbial SO cents. Mr. Eaton's report to the city coun cil on the work accomplished by the police force during the first year of his incumbency as chief of police is an Interesting document and shows that the work of the police has been of a high order. Mr. Eaton may have gone into his Job with little ex perience but he has learned quickly and it is safe to say that the police force was never handled in a more effi cacious manner than it now is. Cer tainly the city was never so free from the presence of joints and other ques tionable resorts and the police and Mr. Eaton are entitled to most of the credit for this excellent condition of affairs, although considerable of the credit for the suppression of illegal traffic in liquor belongs in this city to the coun ty peace officers. According to a rumor which is float Ing around one of the brewing com panies of a neighboring state contem plates the establishment of a string of xto less than 200 drug stores In the towns of this state which will handle Its beer within the terms of the pro hibition law or the way these terms are construed by a certain class of druggists. If it were possible for one to get at the facts in the premises it Is likely that it would be found that there are any number of drug stores now in Kansas that are either owned or controlled by brewers of other states. There are a good many drug tores throughout the state that are really nothing more than beer dispen saries to all Intents and purposes. Mr. Eaton's Idea that the police force should be put on a civil service basis Is a good one. There is not a police force in tbe entire country which amounts to anything that is not on a civil service basis. The method that has $jjpvailed hi Topeka of changing the tsjsrsonnel of the police force al most p Its entirety every time there la a fjiange at tty administrations is a practice that la not conducive to the maintenance of an adequate police force. The police business -is the same as any other. Men become most pro ficient in it through continued experi ence. They should be made to feel that their positions are secure unless they commit some act that would war rant their dismissal after a fair trial on charges. They should also be made to feel that promotions will come In the order of service provided that ser vice has been meritorious. And no men who are not physically fit and mentally equipped should be permitted to start in on the force. EQUALITY OF THE RACES. The mixed race dinner held re cently in New Tork at which whites and blacks "rubbed elbows", has raised great discussion throughout the country and a storm of protest from the south. Indignation is there expressed that the so-called friends of the blacks should attempt to thus recognize the equality of the races. In the south there always has been and always will be a decided opposi tion to any plan which has for its j ultimate aim the equality of races. The people of the south are deter mined that the negro shall never be looked upon as the equal of the white and they claim that the north ern people should not interfere in a matter which is of such vital interest to the southerners. With good ground for their contention they argue that the people of the north are not familiar with the negro as he is found In the south, and that when they take up the cause of the black man they are probably tackling a problem of which they know little and which they will be unable to solve. Governor Swanson of Virginia says that affairs like the New York din ner are disgraceful and that they hamper the solution of the negro problem and hurt the colored peo ple. Booker T. Washington and other leaders of the colored race are not believers in -miscegenation, but are of the opinion that by thrift and Indus try the negro can steadily advance his position until his worth is recognized by the whites. It is almost beyond belief that the negro and white races will assimilate. Occasionally people of the two races will wed, but such practices are not only regretted by the white, .but are advised against by those who have at heart the best interest of the negro. Since his liberation from slavery and all its corses the black man has steadily improved his condition and today there are throughout the country many of that race who are well edu cated and as capable as their own white brethren. The race problem Is one of the greatest in the country and it Is one in which people should not be too eager to take part before they are thoroughly acquainted with the condi tions they seek to change. It ia a very easy matter for people to criti cize at a distance and tell what ought or ought not to be, but the person who wishes to speak,, Intelligently on any subject mustf at nret familiarize himself with the subject on which he ia to express himself. Many advocates of social equality for the negro have not done this and their- long -distance views of the black man show a deplorable lack of knowledge of con ditions in places where such equality would be most seriously felt. The negro must work out hla own salva tion, and !n doing so he may rest assured that he will be given every opportunity to Increase his knowledge and to prove that he is worthy of a place in the affairs of the country. TO PRESERVE THE BUFFALO. Sentiment throughout th .nnnt, i. and has been favorable to any reason able means for averting the extinction of the American bison, or buffalo Hitherto all efforts in this direction have been upon Individual initiative and without anything like concerted ef fort. Naturally they havn fntit al though much has been accomplished In the way of retarding the Inevitahla and today there are perhaps no buffalo outside or captivity. But the few that remain are rapidly passing, for this noble animal does not thrive unless free to roam at will. There is, there fore, unanswerable logic in support of Senator Dixon's bill to establish a ner. manent national bison range in Mon tana, where there is plenty of suitable land in the public domain and climatic and other conditions aiimlrahiv loot ed to the purpose. The American bison society stands ready to present the government with a small herd of an imals In case the range Is established and fenced In, so that the passage of the bill is really all that Is necessary to accomplish the object which the lovers of the buffalo have In mind. The slaughter of the buffalo has been a miracle of wanton and prodigal cruelty. "Sportsmen'; have shot down thousands merely for the delight of killing. Hunters have exterminated herd after herd for the hides, which within a generation were almost a drug on the market. It is neither possible nor desirable to reproduce those herds, which as late as the early fifties were a menace to the western ranchman and farmer, but there is an economic and commercial value in the buffalo which more than justifies vigorous efforts to protect and propagate the species. Aoart from thio and almost as compelling in its appeal, is a certain justifiable sentiment. He la distinctly an American animal w is associated intimately with all those traditions that have to do with the subjugation of this continent. His place in the historv of arduous nlnnra days is so assured and prominent that our patriotic instincts demand, i preservation. Senator DItoii'i m therefore, appeals so forciblv tn a mM. can interest and American sentiment that one Is justified In hoping there will be no decided opposition to it from any quarter in congress, t William E. Curtis, the reporter on the Chicago Record-Herald who has risen to the dignity of being styled a publicist, has pulled off another of his famous "scoops." It occupies the first column of the first page in last Satur day's issue of the Record-Herald. It is nothing less than that E. H. Harrl man is the .first railroad magnate to link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with a system of railroads that to all intents and purposes are under the control of one man.

The Lawrence Journal recalls this scrap of ancient legal history: "In the early days of the practice of the law in Douglas county there was more pettyfogging than there Is now. One case is recalled by the old timers. Two lawyers went out before a county Jus tice to try a case. The prosecution made bis case and made a cinching one. The defense labored along the best it could, but was unable to break down the testimony of the prosecu tion. Finally In desperation the law yer for the defense asked to be sworn. He declared that while these facts might be proved, the Thirty ninth New Tork decisions said they did not constitute an offense, and the finding must be to discharge the de fendant. The attorney for the prose cution saw that he was up against it and must act quickly. He asked to be sworn. In his testimony he admitted the case as reported In the Thirty ninth New Tork report, but he swore further that the Seventy-ninth New Tork reports directly reversed that and held the other way. No such de cisions had been made in any case, and neither of the lawyers knew any thing of the New Tork reports." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. The poorest man in Atchison knows 600 ways to get rich. A good many things that ought to happen, are mighty slow about It. Only a few have the courage to pub licly disagree with a majority. Tou hear it said of at least half the people: "That man is going crazy." When a man gets out his pocket book, how his children gather 'round him! Tell of a man who has done a good deed, and few show curiosity to know who he is. So many fool things are being ac cepted lately, that ghosts are having another inning. Praising a man has a tendency to make him believe that he amounts to enough already. When a man really loves his wife. Is it because he is a good man, or be cause his wile deserves It?

Many Of the flr.t nannlo tn onTTIA to America did so because they longed for the privilege of worshipping God according to the dictates of their own conscience. As it-is now. we guaran tee religious liberty to all. and one of our proud boasts is that no matter ui a man s oeiiel is, he can worsnip his Maker as he chooses. There are but one or two limitations. Yesterday, however, a man killed a sweet, lovable 5-year-old girl whita be was eneasred in worshipping God and fighting the uevn. jriving everyone out oi tne room but the child, he stamped her to death, and when the mother entered the room he lav beside her bleeding corpse in a religious frenzy. Previous to the murder, the man had been pray ing, loudly kicking the footboard of the bed. breaking doors, and other wise engaging In worship. He' has been arrested, but his wife now says that God killed the child. Of course It will be difficult to convict the man on the testimony of such people, but he will probably be sent to an asylum. wecentiy the Dreamers, another re ligious sect, were charged with taking life and burning houses. They admit ted that the destruction of property, if it was ordered by their leader, would be a part of their creed. There is lit tle doubt that they destroyed much property. Another religious sect are noted for their aversion to clothing and chil dren have died from exposure to the weather because of the disinclination of their parents to let them wear clothes. A number of the persons have been sent to prison and are slowly starving themselves to death. Of course, those persons who de stroy property and take human life will at least be sent to an asylum, where they can do no damage, but that does not bring back the life they destroyed. The little girl who was brutally killed by her uncle will not be given back her life because her murderer is in an asylum. It will not protect children in the future from religion crazed parents. Can it be that we give too much re ligious freedom? It seems hardly like ly. But how are we to avoid such outrages? Whether committed in the name of religion or not, they should be avoided. What is the best way to handle such cases? Sallna Journal. SEASICKNESS. Henry Allen prints the following simple but reliable remedy for sea sickness in his valuable paper, the Wichita Beacon: "Those who have suffered the tor tures of seasickness will welcome the following simple remedy: Take with you a small quantity of dried salt herring, chew and swallow the juices. This seems to be an Infallible reme dy." The true test of a really great edi tor does not always lie In his ability to secure sensational news, or adopt wise political policies, -or discourse fluently upon abstruse questions; he must ever bear in mind the real needs of hia readers, and be ready with a cure for chilblains after a cold wave, a relief for indigestion after a ban quet, a remedy for seasickness during a rainy season. The formula advanced by Mr. Al len was compiled with special refer ence to the needs of the poor. No citizen is so sunk In abject poverty that he can't afford to equip himself with a herring before going down to the sea in ships, and although the Juices of a dried salt herring may not be as delicious as tne. amorosia ot Juniter. who would not rather chew and swallow them than be racked by the malady of the sea? It will be observed that even In so small a matter as this, Mr. Allen man ifests that caution that aistinguisnes the truly great editor. "This seems." he says, "to be an infallible remedy." He wisely refuses to be responsible for it, or to guarantee it. He holds in detestation that reckless school of journalism which advances any un tried theory with unmeasured assur ance. tw monition, briefly stated, is that a dried salt 'herring may be good for seasickness or It may not. it is at least worth trying.

United States senators often become very good friends, but somehow they are not prone to becoming real chum my wim one another. Exceptions occur from time to time to prove the rule. One of those exceptions applies to Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania, and Senator W. Mur ray Crane of Massachusetts.. If the afternoon wanes without their meet ing, one is very llkelv to ataxt out tn see where the other Is and to learn wnat has happened. Often the Knox autnmohlla- and th Crane automobile exchange honks in the morning. Not infrequently the senators ride to the capitol in the same car. When the luncheon hour oomes. Senator Crane may descend to the committee on rules, perhaps her ald his advent by turning out the elec tric lights in the vestibule, and then lead his crony off to the senate restau rant. The fondness that Senators Crane and Knox evince for eating together is reminiscent of the fondness that ex Senator Edmunds of Vermont, and the late Senator Allen G. Thurman of Ohio, used to have for drinking to gether. That was in the earlier days, when drinking at the capitol was not frowned upon. All the oldsters in political Wash ington are fond of recalling that story, how the two senators kept a black bottle In the room of the com mittee on Judiciary. They were cer tain to adjourn there twice or thrice every afternoon that the senate held a long session. It was at first a mar vel why the two men seemed to have the same thought at the same moment and began to make tracks simultan eously from different parts of the sen ate chamber one being a Democrat and the other a Republican toward that committee room. It turned out that they had prear ranged signals. The "Old Roman's" signal was to pull out that famous red bandanna handkerchief and to blow his nose with clarion loudrwns. Washington dispatch to Boston Globe. The King Business. The emperor of Germany is in dis tress. He Is feeling the pinch of hard times and the poor old fellow asks the German reichstag to raise his salary. His allowance now is only $4,502,770 a year $850,000 as king of Prussia, which Is a sort of side line with him, and $3,852,770 as Deutscher Kaiser, his reg ular working job. To the man who Is getting about $60 a month this sounds like considerable money, but the kaiser has raised a large family, the boys never have done much In business and the daughters-in-law and other mem bers of the family are living off the old man. So you see how it is. It wor ries the kaiser when he reflects that Nicholas gets $8,000,000 a year as czar of Russia, when Wilhelm has longer hours and does more work for half the pay. Even the old Austrian em peror, who is too old to enjoy buying things, or wearing or eating or drink ing them, gets $4,700,000 a year, and is- able to save money, having no boys to send to college and no girls to squander his cash on big hats. The king of Italy, however, gets but $3,200,000; but he must have only macaroni for lunch eon now and then, and live largely off fruit. It Is surprising that England pays her king only $2,350,000 a year. But then Edward Is not so much of a king as William or Nicholas, and the cabl net and parliament run the country, and let Edward go around laying cor nerstones, drinking at the watering places, and letting his light shine at the leading race tracks. At nrst glance It looks like there would be a lot of money In the king business. But, In spite of the fact that there isn't a great deal of competition, a king has to wear good clothes, stop only at the best hotels and smoke cigars with bands around them; so that the ex penses eat up most of the profits. Per haps that is the reason there are so few candidates running for king this year. Baltimore Sun. Baeged Wildcat Instead of Fox. John Burrows and his daughter Maude of Philadelphia, who are visit ing a friend above Lackawaxen, yes terdav. in company with the eldest son of the farmer, holed what they thought was a fox In some rocks.

Suddenly there was a rush and something plunked Into the bag with a snarl. Miss Burrows closed the bag. There was much spitting and snarling from within, followed by a ripping and tearing of the sack, then the head and claws of a wildcat pro truded. Miss Burrows dropped the bag, the wildcat freed itself and leaped at her. A shot fired by the farmer's son killed it. In the cave three kittens were found.

Tou think now that you love this vounsr man and that you can't be happy without him. But you are wrong! If you did hot see him for a year, you would forget him utterly. He to his face I say it he Is not the sort of man to inspire any last ing affection. Give him up. Trust your old father and give him up. Won't you no Ji-aier "I I can't father." Mr. Follansbee sighed. Then he turned to the young fellow, and his voice was stern. "Mr. Carter," he said, formally, "I am a plain man and deal plainly. I ob ject to you as a son-in-law. I have looked into your history and find no evidence of enterprise or capability. Tou hops to Induce my daughter to marry you, but you'll nfver do so. That possibility may be set aside at the start. There remains to you only one alternative. Tou may defy me and be crushed, or you may accede to my wishes and become rich In another city. As you know, there is scarcely a business in this whole city in which I do not exert an influence, directly or indirectly. If I choose and I may choose I can have you blacklisted, and end all your chance for the future. Tou do not doubt this, do you?" "No. I do not doubt it," answered the young man quietly. "Very well. That is one side of the shield; now I will show you the other. I had expected something like this and had decided how to deal with it, and I will make you an offer. If you will promise to leave town tonight within the hour without a word to my daugh ter, and remain away for, say, two years, and to exchange no letters with her in that time, I will give you $10, 000." "Father!" Kate was on her feet, red with shame an anger. "Holghty-tolghty, Kate! Let the young man speak for himself. Which is It to be, Mr. Carter? Kate and noth ing, or $10,000?" Carter threw his head back haughtl lv. but before he could speak. Kate, who had slipped around behind her father caught his eye and shook her head violently. Bewildered, the young man paused and faltered. "Tou you insult me, Mr. Follansbee," he mutter- "Well, I'll double the insult and the cash. Take it or leave it." But Carter had had time now to guess at the meaning of Kate's gesticulations. "Twentv thousand." he sneered: "that's quite a sum. About equal to vmir inoom for a week. Isn't it? Oh, no, Mr. Follansbee, I don't sell out at any such price as that." Follansbee stared at him beneath his bushy brows. "Very well," he said, "Forty thousand." Antn TTnta. shook her head and held up her hand wich all five Angers spread widelv. "Make it sou.ouu," ne nuu, "anrt TMl talk business." "Very well! Fifty thousand, then, to be sent to you promptly by certified check to Chicago, shall we say, as soon as you send me an address from that city. But mind you, young man; no tricks. Tour pledge, which you must give me In writing, may not be legally binding, but don't think that you can take the money and fall to keep your word. If you do, by heavens. Til stop at nothing to destroy you." "All right! All right!" returned the young man, sullenly. "I keep a pledge when I make It. What do you want ex actly? Put it in writing." Mr irnllnnabee took a tablet from his pocket, wrote a few words on it and handed it to the young man. "Here it Is," he said. "Merely a mem nrjtnrlnm. TOU see. Read It. Carter read: "I,' Thomas Carter, In consideration of $50,000, to be sent to me as soon as I communicate with TT.dward- Follansbee from Chicago, hereby agree to leave New Tork to night and remain away from It for two years, during which time I will not write to Miss Follansbee. nor in any way seek to Induce her to marry me." He read slowly, casting a quick glance at Kate's acquiescent head as he did so. scarcely couiu ne ueiiovo that the keen business man before him could have drawn so lame and loosely worded an argument. Clearly where his daughter was concerned, Mr. Follansbee was not his usual col lected self. "Hump!" he said. "That's about right, I guess. But I don't know about Chicago. Suppose we say Washington instead. It's nearer, of course, but In these railroad days, one thousand miles is little farther than one hundred. I'd prerer- wasning ton." "Have It as you like," returned Mr. Pnllansbee. indifferently. "The main thing is to get you away from New Tork. When will you leave r Carter drew out his watch. "It Is now 6 p. m.." he said coolly. "I'll leave on the 8 o'clock train from the Twenty-third street station. Good by, Mr. Follansbee. No hard feel ings, I hope." "Hard feelings!" The elder man clenched his hands. "Toung man. he said, "I've bought you orr Decause it suited my purpose, but I'd advise you to get out of here. I'll keep my word about the money, but if you are here one minute from now I'll break every bone In your body. Go!" As the young man slipped silently from the room. Mr. Follansbee turned to his daughter. His face was sad. "I'm sorry for this, Kate," he said. "I didn't think he would prove quite so poor a specimen! But it was better for you to know It now than later, wasn't it?" "I suppose so, father." The re ply came in a muffled voice. "Please leave me now. I'll be better soon." "That's my brave girl. With a farewell touch on the bowed shoulders, Mr. Follansbee left the room. Kate did not come down to dinner that night, sending word that she had a headache and was not hungry. Later Follansbee tapped at her door, but receiving no reply, tiptoed away, thinking her asleep. The next morning, however, dis closed the facts. Before breakfast the butler brought him a message: "Washington, D. C. "Mr. Edward Follansbee? "In accordance with promise, I hereby write you from the Blank hotel, Washington. Tour daughter is here with me. We were married yes terday an hour before we met you.

Tou will therefore kindly send by return mail certified check for $50,000 and oblige, yours sincerely, "THOMAS CARTER." Mr. Follansbee studied the letter for some time, then he drew a tele graph blank toward him and wrote: "The money will be wired you within an hour.

GRAFT ISWORKED Topeka Merchants Victimized by Advertising Scheme. Money Collected for Space in a Folder. NOW AT THE PRINTERS Were Nerer Called for by the Promoter. He Took Only Enough to Enable Him to Collect. A number of the smaller merchants have Just paid their toll to a smooth advertising grafter who worked To peka recently on the old time, some thing for nothing, counter pad adver tising scheme. They paid anywhere from one to ten dollars for space on the cards. Ten thousand of them were to be printed and distributed about the city. They are In the office of the print er who got them out, only a sufficient number of them having been deliver ed to the promotor of the scheme for him to show a copy to each advertis er and collect his money. The printer who did the Job got his money in ad vance and Is not out anything and is anxious to have the grafter call for his goods so that he can get them out of the way. Mr. Grafter will never call for them as he has moved on and is in all probability working the time worn scheme in some smaller town to the 1 west of Topeka. The Commercial club has a sub-organization whose purpose it is to protect the merchants of Topeka from Just such grafts and it has worked a marvelous saving to the merchants who belong to it. The work of the grafter who left hl9 stock in the office of the printer without the promised distribution, shows but two of the larger firms as advertisers. The advertisement of these firms was placed there without price and without the authority of the management as a bait for smaller advertisers. The trading grafter who is a smooth specimen of his kind provides himself with a prospectus of the ad vertising scheme which he proposes to work and in the spaces which he has blocked off he writes "reserved for." Crosby Brothers or Robinson Marshall, or some other equally re liable firm and ia ready for business. These firms are never bothered about the matter and of course if the ad vertisement is inserted the grafter never presents a bill, but the bait gen erally works and the grafter is able to work his scheme and pick up a hundred dollars or such a matter from the smaller merchants. The advertising for programmes, benefits, folders and schemes of all kinds when presented to the mer chants who belong to the Merchants association, which is in reality a Com mercial club committee, is referred to J. W. Robinson, the chairman of the committee. This is as far as the mat ter gets unless it possesses unusual merit. "It originally cost the merchants from three to four thousand dollars a year to patronize schemes of grafters or tnis Kina, saia Mr. Kouinson, "but that is a thing of the past. Our little association now handles all the scheme advertising as an organization. We GOOD COFFEE MAKING Anyone Can Make Good Coffee. The Secret Out. Tou often hear one woman say of another, "Mrs. Blank can make the best corree i nave ever tasted. If I could make coffee like that I would be a coffee drinker." Did it ever oc cur to you that the coffee you use may not be of the quality It should. ana that any one can make good cof fee if they use coffee of the proper quality? our coffees are the kind Mrs. Blank uses, me good coffee kind, if you will use our coffee you will have no more poor coffee. Try any one of these: Blends 7-9-11, 20c pound; Blend 15 26c lb; Blend 4, 30c lb; Blend 3, 36c 3 lbs. $1.00; Blend 10. 40c lb. Chas. McCllntock, Sola Owner, 815 Kansas Ave. west Lrailber C. East 6th Street have a fund for the purpose paid in by the merchants proportionate to the size of their business. "A representative of some organiza tion of the citv goes to a merchant of whom they are patrons and in the past it was next to impossible to turn them down. Now the matter Is referred to the advertising committee. The plea is often made that the association wants to get just enough advertising to pay the cost of getting out a pro gramme. In this case if the object is deemed worthy the advertising asso ciation gets out the programme with out cost to the organization and some place, usually on the back, is printed 'with compliments' of the firms whose names follow and who are members of our organization. "Most of the advertising schemes, however, are worked by promotors who travel about the country for the purpose and aside from being of little or no value to the merchants as adver tising propositions, put money In the pocket of the traveling grafter. I re call one instance and the grafter se cured something like two hundred dol lars for his work, and his scheme never left the shop where it was printed. "This fellow went to the printer and secured a proof of the work which he presented to his patrons with his bill and every one paid with a single ex ception. He was never seen again and the work progressed no farther than the proof stage as the printer In this case was left unpaid for his work. "If every merchant in Topeka be longed to this association the benefits would be much greater and that much more money left in the fund for legiti mate advertising In newspapers of acknowledged value as advertising mediums. Our scheme is a good one and costs a merchant only in propor tion to the business which he trans acts. It costs some of us several hun dred dollars each year while others get the sarrte protection and benefit for the expenditure of but a few dollars each month." POLICE COURT NOTES. Bob Barton, a negro, while on a spree last evening made himself so obnoxious to other persons in the Rock Island depot waiting room that a call was sent In for the police and Barton was arrested and thrown in Jail. He was nnea $20 in police court this morning. He paid his fine and had Just 70o left with which to leave town. According to witnesses in court this morning Bar ton was let off easily for his offense. ne not only raised a disturbance In the waiting room, but addressed him self to white ladles who were present, calling one of them "honey," and other familiar and endearing terms. Barton was lucky to escape violence for his outrageous conduct. Still the raids on disorderly houses continue. Last night the police raided a house at 228 Quincy street and ar rested Kd Miller, Dora Rogers and Vic toria Newberrl, inmates. The fines as sessed in this case were $10 apiece. Mike Shannon, an old time, offender, paid $15 this morning for the privilege of getting a big drunk the day before. Four negroes were arrested last night for loitering on the streets and ob structing the walks and hallways. There is a very strict ordinance on the city statutes against the practice of loafers assembling in doorways or on the sidewalk In the business section of the city and Chief Eaton proposes to see that it Is enforced hereafter. The collection of a crowd of loafers and Idlers on a public street Is an annoy ance to all passers by, especially ladles, and a detriment to the store or places of business in front of which they gather and whose hall and doorways are blocked by them. Tou'll have to "move on" after this in Topeka when you see the policeman coming, unless you can explain your business and oc cupation while you stand around and watch other people work. Charles and Mary Wells were fined $15 and $10 respectively in police court this morning for conducting a disorder ly house. The members of the Jug party held at Nate Williams' place the other day were assessed $10 apiece for their fun. Downey, the man who was hit with a club, had to cough up his $10 along with his loving cronies. Sam Carr, a hackman, was arrested last night for the alleged offense of throwing broken glass on the sidewalk. There is an ordinance against this very bad practice. Corn Takes a Jump. Chicago, May 7.

Topeka. Kan., May 7, 1908. To the Editor of the State Journal: An article in Tuesday evening's State Journal under the title "Voice Prom Old Soldier," "Wants a Chris tian for G. A. R. Department Com- mander," makes very, amusing read ing for many of the old soldiers of K-ansas. One cannot but Infer from a per usal of the article in question that tne members of the G. A. R. in Kan sas are entitled to special congratula tions, because of the fact that Rev. B F. Boyle of Atchison, is a candidate ror department commander. There is no desire, whatever, on the part of the writer to detract one iota rrom the fair name of Comrade Boyle, but the time has come when the old soldiers of Kansas feel like giving nonor to wnom honor Is due. It takes something besides "gaseous verbosity" and a "lavish display of brass buttons to make an army rec ord, and the man who stood behind the musket for more than three years during the war of the rebellion, and? whose life since has been that ot a consistent Christian gentleman-" Is plenty good enough to head the de partment of Kansas G. A. R. Such a man is W. A. Morgan of Cottonwood Falls. Comrade Morgan saw three years and three months of active ser vice in a Kentucky regiment during the rebellion, and most of the people of Kansas know what It meant to be a Union soldier in Kentucky at that time. Franklin B. Boyle enlisted in the 103d Pennsylvania Vol. Inf. on March 18, 1865, having "dashingly" served 25th, .1865, having "dashingly" served his native country three months and seven days. Whether or not this rec ord covers the service of Rev. B. F. Boyle of Atchison, Is a mooted ques tion; and the old soldiers of Kansas would be pleased to have the state ment eltner denied or verified over the reverend gentleman s signature. It is true that the grand army men or Kansas want a Christian veteran for their department commander, and 361 votes already pledged will go long way toward giving them what they want. If comparison of army records are taken Into consideration and the hon or is conferred as a record of merit, w. a. Morgan will be the next com mander of the department of Kansas, unino Army or tne Republic WM. DONOVAN, Adjutant G. G. Gage Post 495 WAS A CARELESS MAX.

AT TIIEJIOSPITAL. Class of Ten Nurses Graduated last Night. Banquet Sorted In Honor of V-V the Class. EXCELLENT PROGRAM. Speeches and Musical Numbers Interspersed Between Courses. Captain Clad Hamilton Delivers the Class Address. The auditorium at the Topeka state hospital was a veritable bower last night. The stage was banked with palms and rare plants and vases filled with snowballs and carnations lined the front near the footlights. Wav ing palms wetre artistically grouped throughout tne rooms furnishing a setting for four large tables and the room was made brilliant with myriad electric lights. Green and white pre dominated. The candles on the tables were green in holders draped in delicately tinted cloth. Two of the tables were occupied by the nurses in their neat costumes of blue and white with an occasional man in the usual garb, just for good measure. The other two tables were reserved for the guests of Superintendent and Mrs. T. C. Biddle and the members of the board of control. Never was there a more perfect or better arranged ban quet served in Topeka. Tne occasion was tne firth gradua tion of the nurses training school at the state hospital and there were ten members of the class there to receive their diplomas from the hand of E. B. Schermerhorn, president of the board of control. The banquet was served in courses and between the courses a programme was given. As the guests entered the hall the hospital orchestra played the processional and after they were seated Chaplain J. A. Ren wick delivered an invocation. This was followed by a vocal solo by Mrs, George W. Parkhurst, accompanied by her daughter. Mrs. Robert Gar ver. Mrs. Parkhurst was never in better voice and her efforts added to her popularity. She appeared twice on the programme and responded to an encore. Another feature of the programme were the readings of Kathryn Albaugh, the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morton Albaugh. Her first number was How the La Rue Stakes Were Won and It was given with a dramatic force and effect that would do credit to older and more experienced elocu tionists. Little Miss Albaugh reads her lines like a veteran and brings out the shades of meaning perfectly. She gave Paul Laurence Dunbar's "Ange lina" for her second number and re sponded to an encore with, another little poem in negro dialect. The toastmaster was Dr. J. 11.

TOPEKA WAS ASLEEP. Made Little Effort to Capture Wood- Men Convention. The Shawnee delegation to th trien nial state camp of the Modern Wood men of America returned this morning irom winneia. tired but harm v. Thev failed to land the 1911 state convention for Topeka, and withdrew after the delegates were polled for first choice, but they had been in attendance at a rousing good convention that advanced materially the interest of the order. The Topeka delegates went to Win- field feeling confident that this city would win the fight for the next con vention, but when they arrived on the scene they found Hutchinson and Sa una there loaded for big game. These cities had the support of their com mercial clubs and business men gen erally, they had wagonloads of adver tising matter setting forth in words and illustrations the advantages and beauties of their cities, they had plenty of money to prosecute a vigorous cam paign for success. Topeka had none of these things. Salina won the fight over llutchlnson simply because of more favorable location. The southern part of the state had already been provided for liberally in the way of state Wood men gatherings and it was the turn of the northern part of the state. Topeka s miserable showing in the fight for the convention against small er cities furnishes food for thought. One is forced to believe that our Com mercial club Is not as active or aggres sive as similar organizations from smaller cities of the state. The Wood man convention was well worth going after. Hutchinson flooded the conven tion with flaming red cards and cir culars claiming: to be the best conven tion city in the state and possessed or the largest and best hotels between Chicago and San Francisco. Topeka's advantages had to be set forth by word of mouth by her delegates. Beyond the fight put up on the Win- field candidate for head banker, who proposed getting the endorsement of the state camp over E. E. Murphy of Leavenworth standing for re-election as director of the society, the conven tion was very harmonious. Murphy was the favorite and his was the only name for a head office presented on the floor of the convention. The delegation from Shawnee coun ty was made up as follows: O. K. Swayjse, of sunflower jamp dsb; jxooeri Sevbold. Richland camp lsea; ta. J. Hearick. Shawnee Camp 2800; W. Kastman. North Topeka Camp 1246; R L. Wilt, Rossville Camp 1511.

Washington, May 7. Senator Cur tis of Kansas had a rough-and-tumble discussion with- the conferees on the pension bill today 4n an effort to re tain the outside pension agencies. The house had voted to abolish the agencies. The senate wants to retain them. Senator Curtis presented fig ures to show that it would be more expensive to pay pensions from Washington than from the outside agencies. The house offers to com nromtee by wiping out nine agencies. This will preserve the Topeka agency, The matter will not be definitely set tled for a few days. FROM KANSAS, OF COURSE.

The Rev erend Mr. Coffield boasts four chll dren and twenty-six grandchildren, His courting of the second wife was fast and furious, as it was completed within three days after he reached Beardstown. 111., her home. And what is more of a miracle, the minister had not announced the In tent and purpose of his visit, an when he led the blushing bride into the parlor of the Methodist preacher in Beardstown not one of the blushing bride's children knew or suspected njivthine. They were not slow in ten ins- of the marriage, however, and they were widely entertained, leaving only yesterday for their new home.

Scribner, tax commissioner for the Union Pacific railway, was before the state tax commission this morning for the purpose of talking over the re port of property which the road filed, and giving any information desired by the commission. Apparently there was very little done at the conference, which lasted only about an hour. The commission did not tell Mr. Scribner how much they were going to assess his road, and con sequently Mr. Scribner did not ask for a reduction. Next week the tax commission will give any railroad representatives who desire to be heard an opportunity to come before the board. Under the law, the tax commission must finish its work of assessing rail roads, and make their returns to the county clerks by May 20. THE PIG GOT AWAY. Majestic Theater Porker Objected to Being Greased. There was considerable excitement around the corner of Eighth and Kan sas avenues and also among the em ployes of the Majestic theater shortly after the noon hour today. The little porker that is to play the part of a "greased pig" In a contest that will be put on at the Majestic tonight after the regular show, broke from its crate and ran away. His plgrlets made a wild dash from the alley near the Majestic for Kansas avenue. After him rushed actors, stage hands and some people on the streets. It looked as though there was going to be a sure enough "greased pig" race on the streets. But the pig was evidently frightened at the strange sights he saw when he reached the corner of Kansas avenue for he dodged Into the office of the Edison company where he was cornered and caughU J.

Artificial breeding of pheasants and the stocking of coverts with birds that are quite tame is a recognized Indus try in this country. But it comes somewhat as a surprise to find Amer ica claiming that it has the largest pheasant farm in the world, and that, too, within a few miles of Chicago. A high school boy, named Evans, start ed the farm to fill up his spare time, but is now making a large income from it. The 100-acre farm, which is devot ed to the culture of the English pheasant and many other varieties of choice game birds, is situated near the banks of the Desplaines, and part of it is still covered with the primeval forests which formerly extended over all Chicago. That the cultivation of the English pheasant in America is destined to become an important In dustry is apparent from the interest which has been taken in the experi ment of Mr. Evans from its inception. The English pheasant is known to be the wildest of game birds, and the particular demand for it in America Is for the purpose of stocking private preserves, as is done here, in Belgium and Germany. In the last two years the interest in the English pheasant has grown to such an extent that the game commissioner of Illinois has been experimenting with the birds, and two game farms are maintained where pheasants are raised to be lib erated later for the benefit of the sportsmen of Illinois. The entire farm is surrounded with a fence of fine wire netting to pre vent the birds from getting out into the surrounding country and to pre vent predatory animals, such as minks, raccoons, rats, etc., from get ting in and destroying the valuable birds. Mr. Evans Is obliged to wage a continual warfare against these ani mals, for one mink getting within the inclosure would kill fifty or sixty birds in a night. A visit to the farm of Mr. Evans proved both interesting and instructive. Leading the way across the creek and over a bridge, Mr. Evans opened a gate which led Into the field where the pheasants themselves were kept. He has In all about 4,000 young English pheasants and 2,000 Silvers, Reeves, Goldens, Amhersts and Versicolors. The-young English pneasants are kept in a field which occupies fully fifteen acres. It was the hour for feeding the English pheasants, and the sight as Mr. Evans summoned them toward him "was never to be forgotten. From 'every corner and in every part of the stub bly field, from down beneath the brown, dried grass, the birds appear ed. There must have been fully 1,- 600 of them advancing toward the feeder, a mass of brown atoms. Some of the young cocks showed just a hint of the gorgeous plumage which they will sport when they have pass ed their period of adolescence. Women seem to have a better knack of handling young and- delicate creatures than men, and one who takes naturally to poultry could raise at least fifty pheasants on the first season's trial with no greater a per centage of loss than she would have with fancy chickens. Any one who has a liking for game birds could start to breed these birds on a small Bcale and with a good chance of suc cess. The smaller the number the less liability to disease there is, the chances are much better for a few birds to find the kind of subsistence they need. As soon as the birds be gin to be numerous the selling should commence. It does not require a large space to rear pheasants. A small covey in confinement can be reared on a few hundred feet of land.

Leek, all of Leaven worth, were In Topeka today, and called at the office of Attorney Gen eral Jackson to get an interpretation of some phases of the primary elec tion law which they are not familiar. They were very particular to insist that they were not trying to stir up anything about the liquor situation in Leavenworth. "Stubbs is going to be nominated for governor," declared Mr. Cory. "He will get a good vote in Leaven worth county, in spite of the fact that all the machine crowd and both news papers are against him. We are cer tainly not going to send Vint Stillings back to the legislature. The chances are that Charley Snyder, the present representative, will be nominated. Stillings will not run against Snyder. Snyder is a very able yoking man, and while" he voted against the primary election law at both the regular and special sessions, it was because he op posed certain features in the law rather than to general opposition to the primary election system. He thinks for himself, and no one can run him. Stillings never controlled his own vote." New York Money Market. New York. May 7.

The city of Topeka, by its mayor, the Topeka Commercial club, the Min isterial Union, the Superintendents' club, hereby join in hearty and cordial Invitation to the State Sunday School convention, now in session in Wichita to hold their next annual cbnvention in this city. The Auditorium, with its grand pipe organ will be at your ser vice, without cost, and our citizens will greet you with all good will and hos pitality. W. M. Green, Mayor City Topeka. A. B.

Otto Foberg, assistant secretary T. M. C. A. The above telegram landed the forty fourth annual convention of the Kan sas Sunday School association for To peka to be held here the first Tuesday in May, 1909. The convention for this year is still in session at Wichita. There are 2,000 delegates In attendance. Emporia, Concordia and Kansas City were all contenders with Topeka for the 1909 convention. Emporia had a special car there with 50 delegates in order to land the prize, but the Audi torium and the pipe organ at Topeka won the fight. When the Shawnee county delegation, 30 strong, arrived in Wichita they saw at once that there was a splendid chance to get the con vention for next year and at once went to work. The convention wanted an invitation and a proposition in writ Ing, so the head of the delegation call ed up Topeka on the phone and the telegram above was the result of their efforts. The delegation first presented Topeka's claims with the following in vitation: Wichita, Kan., May 6, 1908. To the Executive Committee of the Kansas Sunday School Association: On behalf of the Shawnee County association, we extend to the Kansas association a most cordial Invitation to hold its forty-fourth annual conven tion in the capital city, and assure the best railroad facilities, the use of our Auditorium, with seating capacity of over four thousand, together with its large pipe organ and necessary com mittee rooms. We attach hereto an invitation sent from our mayor, Commercial club, Ministerial union, Sunday School Su perintendents' club, County association and Y. M. C. A. D. O. COE, H. W. BOMGARDNER, OTTO FOBERG, Committee. In securing this convention Topeka has made a fine start for 1909. About two thousand delegates may be expect ed to, attend its sessions which last three1 days. At least half of these delegates are leading business men from cities all over Kansas. Speakers of national reputation will be secured to address the meetings, and the mu sical programme will be very fine. The work of the delegation in landing this prize in the face of strong opposition can not be too highly appreciated. This convention is a state affair and is not confined to any one church, but is a union gathering of all the churches. The following are among the delegates from isnawnee county: D. O. Coe, Mrs. A.

DEMOCRAT ROW OIL Bryan Men in Minnesota' Allege Fraud at the Primaries. St. Paul, May 7. According to F. A. Day, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, who is man- aging Governor Johnson's political af. Iiairs, the Bryan delegates to the state convention May 14, will not number more than 100 out of the total of 936 Mr. Day said that his advices from Duluth, St. Louis county, indicates that last night's caucuses in that county, resulted in a Johnson victory over Bryan of about 2 to 1. The Bry an managers have been predicting a majority of 150 delegates In the Btat convention. They now claim that In counties which have heretofore been wholly Republican, the Republicans went into the Democratic caucuses to vote for Johnson. Managers of the Bryan campaign in Minnesota, who were out generaled in last night's Democratic primaries throughout the state are talking to day of the possibility of calling a separate convention May. 14. The Bryan delegates will attend the county convention Saturday and If they obtain no recognition there they will immediately withdraw and hold separate conventions to select separate delegates to the state con vention. The delegates will come to the state convention and If ignored there will at once hold a convention in some other hall to select their del egates to the Denver convention. Sec retary F. A. Pike, of the Bryan vol unteers of Minnesota, In a signed statement given out today says: "At this time I have reports from four counties outside the Twin cities, which give Bryan 143 votes; six coun ties which give Johnson 80 votes. My information is that while in the face of the returns Johnson appears to have carried Hennepin, Polk, Wazeka and Traverse counties, that result was accomplished by Republican votes and contests from each of these counties to the state convention is probable. There will be contending delegations from Ramsey county. In the twenty counties referred to, all but one have reported as expected be fore the primaries. "Out of the counties from which I have no reports it .is expected that Bryan will have between 150 and 200 delegates. In these four counties claimed for Bryan, I have Included St. Louis, in which the city of Duluth was carried by the Johnson people, by the same methods as were employ ed In Hennepin county, but in St. Louis county the city, vote is offset by unexpected heavy Bryan delegations from the range and. other precincts." POSTPONE THE RATE CASES. They Will Probably Go Over Until May 14. Owing to the absence of Judge 3. C. Pollock, of the United States court, the freight rate cases -in which 13 Kansas railroads have enjoined the enforce ment or the new -freight rate schedule, will probably have to be post Don ed un til later in' the season. They were set first for April 14, -then continued till May 14, and now the chances seem good that they will go oyer until next fall or winter. Meantime, the "temporary restrain ing order" issued by the court is doing business at the old stand, just as a similar "temporary" order is holding up the enforcement of a new freight rate schedule in Missouri. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. While attending a meeting of the board of trustees of the St. John Afri can church last night Joseph Treasvan, 55 years of age, dropped dead from heart failure. He was employed by the Santa Fe railroad in the lumber yards and has been a resident of To peka for the past 25 years. Ipocjaj Mil On Friday and Saturday.

Big Procession Parades the Streets of San Francisco In Honor of Admiral Evans and His Fleet. ban Francisco, May 7. The great naval military and civic parade con stltuting the chief feature of today's celebration of the arrival of the fleet, was started from the foot of Market street on its long march through the leading business sections of the city, shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. There were about 15,000 men in line, 8,500 being marines and sailors from the vessels in the bay. A large force of regular troops from the Presidio, the marine corps, naval militia, national guard of California, veterans of the rebellion and Spanish wars, California pioneers and various semi-mllitarv or ganizations and officials and prominent j cltlzens in carriages made up the rest 19 of the procession.

"There is a great deal of so-called oak furniture sold nowadays," said Eugene J. Hicks. "A large part of this furniture is veneered. This is particu larly true of parlor and ornamental furniture. Coarse and common furni ture may be made of solid oak, but fine furniture is almost Invariably ve neered. "This is because a much finer finish can be got from quartered oak veneer than from the solid wood. The grain comes out better, and it takes a high er polish. When strength and dura bility are required, the solid wood Is used, but for surfaces veneering is pre ferable. Indianapolis is the largest veneer manufacturing center in the world. The sycamore used to be re garded as a comparatively worthless tree, but it works up well in veneering, and finds many uses in the manufac ture of furniture. It can be stained in imitation of cherry and other hard woods. "There are two kinds of veneering sawed and sliced but it takes an ex pert to tell the difference. The process of manufacture is simple and interest ing. The logs, delivered at the factory in the rough, about 13 feet in length, are first cooked in hot water vats to. make them soft and workable. "It does not matter how green they are. After being thoroughly cooked they are placed on machines designed for the purpose and either sliced by a powerful knife the length of the log, or cut by a circular saw into slabs about one-twentieth of. an inch thick. These slabs are the full length of the log, and when first cut are jso pliable that they can be bant double without breaking. The uniform thickness or thinness of the slabs Is preserved by the action of the machinery and does not vary so much as a hair's breadth in the entire length of the slab. "After the slabs are sliced or sawed they are seasoned by steaming. This requires only about 24 hours, and then thev are ready for the market, i Some of the huge oak logs that come to the factory show by the rings In them that they were from 250 to 400 years old."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATS JOtniNAIr TIIUCSDAY EVUUTNQ, HAY 7, 1C03. A CHEERFUL MESSAGE FROM RURAL RESIDENT Mrs. Ahi Robbi-s "Three years ago," says Mrs. Ahi Bobbins, R. F. D. No. 2, Topeka, Kan., "I was so badly crippled up with rheu matism that I could not get around without assistance. I had tried many remedies, but could find none that would give me relief. "My husband chanced to read an ad vertisement of the Cooper remedies in the Topeka papers, and we decided to try the New Discovery medicine. He went to George W. Stansfield's drug store In Topeka and bought a bottle. It helped me so much that I took a second bottle, when all the pain and distress left me. "We have since used considerable of this medicine in our family for various complaints, and would not be without it in the house. We have always found It helpful. "I am glad Mr. Cooper made a visit to Topeka to introduce his remedies more thoroughly. His coming will no doubt be the means of bringing hap piness to many sufferers." BUMPER WHEAT CROP. Outlook Has Rarely Been Excelled at This Time of Year. New York, May 7. Tn its issue of to day the Journal of Commerce and Com mercial Bulletin publishes Ks first monthly report of the season on winter wheat. The report covers condition and acreage in the principal winter wheat states and includes 75 per cent of the total winter wheat crop. Near ly 1,300 replies have been received. The average date is April 28. The combined condition reported in these ten states is 91.3, or practically the same as re ported in ail, states by the government last month. This leaves the condition 8 to 9 points higher than a year ago, when the government figures were 82.9. In 1908, the banner year for winter wheat, the condition at this time was 90.9 and the average condition for the last ten years has been 85.5, so that at the close of April this year the condi tion was nearly 6 points above the av erage. The acreage planted last fall was 31, 060,000, or about 1 per cent less than in 1906; but only 2.2 per cent or 625, 000 acres have been reported abandoned compared with 1,718,000 acres abandon ed in 1906. Consequently the acreage at harvest is now estimated at 20,560,000 against 29,600,000 in 1906, and has only been exceeded once. That was in 1903 when the winter wheat area was 32V4 million acres. This combination of an unusually high condition and the second largest acreage Indicates one of the biggest winter wheat crops on record. Accord ing to the formula of the New York Produce Exchange these returns sug gest a yield of 465 million bushels on the old method, or 432 million bushels on the new method; the former being OoCTritht, 1WH, by 1.9.

V" CkHdr by Marten milr. rttk-at tu aavartUlag, used for comparisons. The previous record crop was 493 million bushels In 1906. Continued favorable weather would almost surely produce a bumper crop but it is hardly probable that some deterioration will not take place before the harvest in July. In any event a very favorable government report Is to De expected if the reports of corres pondents are any criterion. For several days these advices have been exceed ingly optimistic, a large proportion say ing conditions were "never better." In Kansas, the greatest winter wheat state, the condition is almost nine points better than a year ago, Indiana 20 points better, Ohio 16 points better. Illinois 5 points better, Oklahoma 20 points Detter and Texas 40 points bet ter. HE'S TIRED OF HUNTING MEN'. So P. N. Watson Will Settle Down in Osborne County. P. N. Watson, who for many years was in the office of sheriff and deputy sheriff of Osborne county, and is recog nized as one of the most fearless and capable men who ever held such an office in the state, was in Topeka Wed nesday on his way home to Osborne, after a stay of some time in Arkansas. Mr. Watson still keeps up his busi ness of catching criminals though he is no longer an officer of the law. w calls himself a "tracer of people" which is a moaest way or saying he is a de tective, f His most recent adventure was" the capture of the three men who blew the safe of the Springton, Ark., bank. The robbery occurred about 2 o'clock in the morning, March 25. Watson happened to be in the town when the crime was committed, and with a posse he was soon on the trail of the robbers. Wat son, with two other men, forged ahead of the posse, and finally overtook the three robbers. The robbers opened fire on the three officers, and the two who were with Watson took to their heels and skipped out. Watson and the three robbers had a desperate pistol duel, in which Watson shot one of the robbrs In the arm and forced him to surrender. The other two escaped, but Watson got to a telephone and notified a man he knew some distance beyond the rob bers. That man organized a posse, and headed off the fugitives, and they surrendered. Since that affair, Mr. Watson has been watching several other clues and waiting to give his testimony against the three robbers. "As soon as that case is ended," said Mr. Watson, "I am going out of this criminal catching business. I have had enough. I have been at nt 26 years, and have had some very interesting ex periences. The affair at Springton was not nearly as bad an affair as I have had on my hands. One time I waa hunted myself, and had to stay in hid ing from a gang for 24 hours." Mr. Watson does a great deal of de tective work in Arkansas, as he for merly lived In that state, and finds plenty of business down there. "Arkansas is a good place for my business." says Mr. Watson, "but l wouldn't live there for all the land In the state. Osborne county is my home, and it is good enough for me." Mr. Watson expressed much interest in the Kansas political situation. "I have not been payine much atten tion to politics in this state for some months," he said, "but I know that I am going to vote for Leland for gover nor, and I believe he will be strong In my county."

Had Been Three Times Indicted by Grand Jnry. Sajs He'll Now Derote Ener gies to His Company. After three hours of deliberation the federal Jury at 6 o'clock last evening declared H. H. Tucker, Jr., secretary treasurer of the Uncle Sam Oil com pany and Its general manager and promoter, not guilty of using the Unit ed States mails to defraud. Five ballots were taken by the jury before it could reach an agreement, the first ballot resulting in a vote of eight for acquittal and four for con viction, with each succeeding ballot there was one more vote for acquittal until on the final vote all of the twelve men voted to hold Tucker guiltless. H. II. Tucker, Acquitted In Federal Court of Using Mails to Defraud Stockholders. Three counts were specified In the Indictment as returned by the federal grand Jury two weeks ago, the third Indictment of its kind to be returned against Tucker, the first having been brought by a grand Jury in the United States district court in Topeka one year ago on April 8. This was quashed by Judge Dan B. Dyer of St. Louis at a hearing held in Topeka last fall. 8teps were taken immediately to pre pare a new indictment and during the session of the United States district court in January. 1908, at Kansas City, Kansas, a second indictment was found by the grand Jury against Tuck er only to be held inadenu Charles F. Amidon of North Dakota who came here about three weeks ago to sit as judge in the case. Following his decision the grand Jury on the af ternoon of the same day again took up Tucker's case and two days later orougnt in the third indictment. This was held sufficient by Judtre Amidon and the trial which concluded with the Jury's verdict last evening was based upon this third Indictment. The government Indicated what It thought evidences of the Intent of Tucker's part to defraud the stock holders in his oil company in these three particulars first, that he had set aside 1,000,000 shares of the preferred stock in his own name, simply making a charge for the same on the books, that he had charged a ten per cent commission on the sale of stock and lastly that he had made false reDresen- tations in his advertisements about his company and that he knew that they were false when he made them. The Jury did not weigh the first two fea tures to any considerable extent as they thought the third contained the strongest point made by the govern ment. It was on this that they pinned most of their discussion. Judge Amidon's Instructions. Judge Amidon in instructing the jury in the hour covered between two and three o'clock gave a resume of the lead ing points of the prosecution and the defense, the charges included in them. Not so much as by the breadth of an eyelash did he indicate what his per sonal judgment of the evidence pro The April-May number of Uncle Sam Magazine con- J tains interesting. revelations I about J The Kansas Conspiracy against the Uncle Sam Oil Co. and H.

J duced as to either the innocence or guilt of the accused man was. "The instructions could not have been fairer to either side. They told absolutely nothing of the court's opinion," was the general expression of lawyers on all sides who met afterwards to discuss the instructions. It was left entirely for the Jury to decide. If the Jury had given In another sort of verdict, it is stated that the govern ment intended fully to Indict two of Tucker's associates In the company as accessories at the next grand jury, the charges having already been formu lated. Three counts were specified in the In dictment and the court Instructed the Juror 8 that it was possible for them to return a verdict on one or more counts and not guilty as to the remainder, guilty on three counts, or not guilty on any of the counts. As the Jury prepared to return Its decision Judge Amidon warned the spectators in the court room against making any demonstration, and the people in the court room refrained from making public their feeling In the decision beyond that of a few friends of Tucker who crowded around him to shake hands with him. Tucker in turn went up to the jurors and shook the hand of each of the twelve men. Tucker Was Confident. Tucker returned to Kansas City, Kansas, this morning and will immed iately work now towards getting his company out of bankruptcy. "I shall continue as if nothing happened at all," said he. "I was certain that I would be acquitted all the time. There was no Jury in the United States that could have convicted me on the facts. There is a gang of looter politicians that have been paid by the Standard Oil company to cause all this trouble. I and my friends will never rest now until they are run out of the state. It may take a Democratic president to do it, but it is going to come sooner or later. "The effort to break up the Uncle Sam Refining company is the same that caused the Devlin disaster and I have had a siege of what they gave to the Kansas Insurance company and several other concerns. i--.. 1 "We have close to $20,000 In the treasl ury of the company right now and $300,000 in assessments that have not been paid, possibly one half.". Jurors Who Heard the Case. The members of the Jury consisted of the following: William Murdock, Clifton; H. O. Janicke, Washington; Jacob D. Werner, Greenleaf; J. H. Hows, Topeka; George W. Chase (foreman), Junction City; J. E. Gib son, Farmington; Morgan Wallace, Concordia; Thomas Madlgan, Wallace; L. J. McCluskey, Plainneld; Frank Horton, Clifton; Edward Buckley. Marion, and A. H.

In the course of discussion a man giving -his name as Geo. F. Gridley of Providence, R. I., unfurled an American flag and proceeded to make an address from the gallery on the temperance question. He was promptly taken out. Three Kansas congressmen, Miller, Scott and Campbell, made speeches against the bill. Miller said that while the managers of the homes favored the canteen, the soldiers themselves were not clamoring for it. Scott said that the families of sol diers should be given some considera tion in the matter, and he showed that the soldiers, who live at the homes, sent home last year $112,000 more money to their families than they did the year before, when the canteens were run ning. Campbell said he was opposed to the government going into the liquor busi ness; that he did not want to make a bartender of Uncle Sam. The canteen did not get a vote from Kansas or Ok lahoma members. LEGISLATURE ALONE WORKS. Everybody Else Is Taking a Holiday la Oklahoma. Guthrie, Okla.. May 7. Throughout the state of Oklahoma today a legal holiday is beins observed. Governor Haskell last week issued a proclama tion declaring this day a holiday In Oklahoma and exhorting the -ople of the state to hold meetings and adopt resolutions calling upon the United States congress to pass legislation pro viding for the selection of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. The governor's suggestion was generally followed today by the people at large. The Oklahoma legislature, however, late yesterday decided that owing to important measures before it for passage it would convene as usual today, in a continuation of yesterday's legislative day. Romero Admitted to Ball. Las Vegas, N. M., May 7. Pedro A.

Romero who pleaded not guilty to the indictment was admitted to ball by Judge Mills in the sum of $5,000. IIOr.BW GAME. Governor's Sou on Hoch-Stubhs Co troversy. Says Willi- m Allen White Did Not State Facts. GOVERNOR AT TROY. Entertained There by Leland Daring Campaign. Intimates That Father "May Have Little Fnn With Boys.' Governor Hoch's paper, the Marion Record, will today contain the follow ing editorial by Homer Hoch, con cerning the attack recently made on Governor Hoch by W. R. Stubbs: "After Governor Hoch left for Baltimore and Washington a few days ago to be gone' aA couple of weeks Mr. Stubbs gave put a signed Inter view attacking him" because of a pur ported interview In which Governor Hoch said that Mr. Leland supported him In the campaign two years ago. It is not the writer's purpose to make any lengthy reference to Mr. Stubbs' Interview nor to indulge in personal flings as he has seen -fit to do, al though even Mr. Stubbs himself can hardly be considered altogether and absolutely Invulnerable 5 should one care to deal In personalities. x ,x "But -here are briefly the" facts con cerning the tremendously important incident which Mr; Stubbs seemed to think Justified his interview. Will White, in the course of one of Mis frolicking editorials a short time ago, stated that it was 'generally under stood' that Mr. Leland did not sup port Hoch two years ago and would not consent to his making a speech in Doniphan county. Mr. Leland re plied that such a statement was un true and that as a matter of fact Governor Hoch was invited to Troy, that he spoke in the Leland opera house and was entertained at the Le land home. Here was a plain issue of fact. It may be remarked in passing that Hoch himself had not lost any great amount of sleep worrying over the question of who die or who didn't support him two years ago or four years ago. But here was a plain is sue of fact, and a pleasant and enter prising reporter placed it before the governor and Inquired whether Mr. White or Leland was correct in the matter. He replied that he had been and was taking no part in the gover norship contest, but that on the ques tion of whether Mr. Leland supported him two years ago Mr. Leland's state ment was correct, that he did speak In Troy and was shown every courtesy by Mr. Leland while there. Of course this was a very bad break he should have lied about it and answered that he wasn't in Troy at all. This was all there was to any 'Interview' Governor Hoch 'gave out' or authorized in any way directly or indirectly. "In his first campaign four years ago. Governor Hoch stated that if elected he would not use the office to build up a political machine, that in appointing men to whatever offices he might have to fill he would give first consideration to integrity and fit ness and that having made appoint ments he would expect the appointees io oe men ana not Jumping-Jacks, that he would not be controlled by j any man or set of men in making ap- pointments and that he would not be governed by any mere factional con- j sideratlons in making his appoint ments. While it is true that some of those who loudly praised this an nounced policy during the campaign became very much dissatisfied when he actually insisted upon carrying it out after he was elected, he has steadfastly adhered to this policy in making appointments, Including two appointments as United States sena tor, three appointments to the su preme bench, five" appointments on the state tax commission and many others of importance. As to the truth of this statement he is perfectly will ing to leave to the fair-minded people of the state to decide. "What Mr.; Stubbs' grievance is or may be we do not care to discuss. As a matter of fact what value there is to the Republican party In this brick bat business it is somewhat difficult to see. As far as Hoch himself is concerned he can probably stand it about as well- as any of the fellows, and if it becomes so' fashionable that everyone will havi to take a hand at the game or be entirely out of style, it is barely possible that he may con clude to have a little fun along with the rest of the boys. But to a plain, plug Republican it rather seems that our genial friends, the Democrats, are manifesting mighty' little sorrow over these little Republican pleasantries. "The Record cannot begin to en dorse all that Mr. Leland has done during his long career In Kansas poli tics; It cannot begin to endorse ev ery policy it believes he has pursued in times past. But it can say that as far as it Is familiar with public affairs in Kansas the last few years he has stood fairly and squarely In the legis lature for progressive legislation de manded; that he is a man of ability and very many excellent personal qualities. "The Record cannot begin to en dorse everything Mr. Stubbs has done In the last few years nor the course he has sought to have pursued by others In many things, but It can say that he has vigorously espoused many good causes; that he is a man of much force, and it is in hearty sym TRUTH Will Out It takes a long time to convince people generally of the merit of an article, but we are going to keep on telling you of the superiority of our y Blend No. 3 S lbs. .per lb. 35c .$1.00 Blend No. 10. .-.lb. 40c CHAS.

"Is it too much for their Republi can brethren to expect that Mr. Stubbs, as well as Mr. Leland, win al low them to say nothing about a few old things' which- they are willing to forget if permitted to do so, and save their ammunition for the common en emy, or must there be a continued in citing to riofc-r-Ifr remaineth to be seen." .W. R- Stubbs seems to be making hay in his Seventh district campaign. A .letter to the. State Journal from George Getty, of Syracuse, Hamilton county, where Stubbs spoke Tuesday evening, says: "Although the weather was unpro pltlous, he was greeted by the brass band and by one of the largest au diences that had assembled in said building since the days of Jerry Simp son. He discussed the issues involved in the campaign with an earnestness and forcefulness sufficient to convince the most skeptical of the sincerity of his intentions and the verity of his statements. He made a good impres sion and consequently his adherents are becoming more numerous." As far as votes for himself are con cerned, the Stubbs campaign In west ern Kansas Is not so very profitable, for it takes a dozen or two of the western Kansas counties to offset the vote of one big eastern county. But on the United States senator proposi tion, where each county Instructs Its own representative,' it Is a different matter. There was a big Democratic pow-wow at Columbus Wednesday afternoon and evening, including a "dollar banquet" at night, and speechifying at the opera house in the afternoon. At the after noon meeting W. F. Ryan of Girard and J. D. Botkin. of Winfleld, the rival candidates for the Democratic nomina tion for governor, both spoke. Ryan urged his hearers to vote for himself for governor and promised that if he was elected he would appoint Rev. Mr. Botkin chaplain of the state penitentiary, which he assured the au dience would make everybody feel good and protect the- people's rights. The speaker argued that since Leland says Stubbs is not a fit man for gover nor and Stubbs says Leland is not a fit man for governor, the proper solu tion is to elect a Democrat. The prin cipal addresses of the evening were made by Hugh Farreley, candidate for nomination of U. S. senator; Mayo Thomas, candidate for nomination for congress in Third district and ex-senator M. A. Householder, candidate for the state senate, besides several local candidates. The leading speaker of the evening and the only one who was not a candidate for office was J. H. At wood, national committeeman. T"e theme of the evening was the Idolizing of William Jennings Bryan. There wero about 500 plates sold for the banquet. Many women attended. The Downs Times says: S. H. Dodge, editor of the Beloit Gazette, has been trying for a year or two to convince the people of this district that Joe Cannon controls Congress man Reeder, soul and body. Capt. Mitchell informed Mr. Reeder of this and here is what the congressman writes Captain Mitchell: "I note that vou had some statements that I made recently In a letter to you, published. I also notice that Mr. Dodge of the Beloit Gazette, has commented on the same through the columns of his paper. Mr. Dodge, in his articles from time to time-in the Gazette, giving what he says are my exact words, does not speak the truths The facts are. Speaker Cannon never suggested to me how he wished .me to vote but once I told him-I could not vote as he thought I should, and at once went to work to help Organize against the measure, (Joint statehood) and the i Hofntort. Since, being in congress, I have -only -voted twice on propositions, wnereui mcie great question in my mind as to how I should vote; once, on Cuban reci procity, and once, on tne t-nuippme .nu. av.iv -RAniihlinAn leader who ML1U, tllW personally urged me to vote for these measures was rramaii uuv.v. there is an lota of truth In any of the marie hv Mr. Dodee. it Is his general intimation that I generally vote witn Kepuoucauo. Politically, thinjrs are mixed in the Sixth district. The Osborne County News says: Cyrus Leland will be elected governor of Kansas the same day that Joseph Cannon Is elected president of the United States. And that is proper, as they both be long to the same school of politics. Whenever the American people want their country run by the best political machine that can be bunt, ana run. exclusively in the interest of that ma chine, then Cannon and Leland are the men to put in commana. jeweii Republican. The Republican is very consistant In Its inconsistencies. It Is for Reeder for congress. Reeder is in the same category politically as Le land and Cannon. According to the Beloit Gazette, Kllsworth Reporter, and other papers which have at one time been Reeder organs, Mr. Reeder has been Cannon's staunch supporter in his career as a despot in congress. It is our contention if Cannon is wrong. Reeder Is also wrong, and It Is impossible to attack Mr. Cannon without attacking Mr. Reeder. They are both one politically. MAJOR CHAFFEE DEAD.
