Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayermeetlng Topic of the Young People's Societies Christian En deavor, Baptist Young People's Union. Epworth League etc. for May 10 is, "Being a Christian. I. In our Work and In our .Play." John 6:17; EccL 9: 10; Prov. 17:22. j BY WILLIAM TV ELLIS. Religion Tsnbt a "mood, but a life; not a seasonal observance, but a con tinual practice. A person is not more Christian in his character than he Is in his con duct when engaged in the humdrum pursuits .of every day. The man who shouts at the Sunday services, and yet hows never a sign of religion in the workshop; and the young person who Is glib In Christian Endeavor meeting, but silent when the recreation that is going forward gives opportunity for a quiet, modest witness-bearing to his faith, are both lacking In a primary conception of the real nature of re ligion. The "robe of righteousness" Is workaday clothes. The accepted Example of all Chris tians expressed his life passion when he said, "I must work." Scorn of ig noble ease burned intensely within him. He gave himself unctlntingly to arduous days and laborious nights. Weariness could not master him. He held It ever subordinate to what he deemed his work. A sense of the se riousness of his -mission ever seemed to press upon the consciousness of Jesus. Life, for him, was an oppor tunity to express the mind of God by his work in the world. Somebody has written a morning counterpart for the child's evening prayer, "Now I lay me down to lees." This one seeks to express the sandtlty of one's own work, its in herent religiousness: Now I get me up to work, I pray the Lord I may not shirk; And If I die before the night. I pray the Lord my work's all right. Only the rare man or woman can write an uplifting poem. The gift of painting an inspiring picture is giv en to few. The persons who can preach great, soul-moving, life-lifting sermons are not numerous. These achievements are assuredly not the common lot. The everyday Christian must express his religion. If at all, in one -of two ways; by his regular work or by his social relationship. This makes work sacred. It is man's way of making known the best that God has revealed to him. What a man is his work shows. Therefore shirked work, half-done work, shoddy work, inferior work, Is Irreligious. There is a sort of impiety about poor work manship. The sanctity of labor is what has made Christian nations ef ficient, and the best Christian usually Is the best workman. For a man's work Is his way of showing forth the glory of God. rr. A n mrr nnnr im OUT apprenticeship to that eternal service wherein "His servants shall serve him." I said, "Let me walk In the fields." He said, "No. walk In the town. I said, "There are no flowers there. He said, "No flowers, but a crown. I said, -But the skies are black; There Is nothing but noise and din. And he wept as he sent me back; "There is more," he said, "there is sin." I said. "But the air Is thick. And fogs are velMng the sun. He answered, "Yet hearts are sick. And souls In the dark undone. I said. "I shall miss the light, And friends will miss me, they say. He answered. "Choose tonight If I am to miss you, or. they. I pleaded for time to be given. He said, "Is It hard to decide? It will not seem hard in heaven To have followed the steps of your Guide." Qeorge Macdonald. Good times are not the right of bad noonle. Joy is supremely the pos Kon of those who are at peace with, this world and the next. A little boy had Joined church. Shortly afterward, before Sunday School one day. out of sheer exuber ance of life, he was rolling- down a. grassy embankment in the church vard An older boy came by and with a sneer that cut, said. "You re a nretty sort of church member, you are'" The lad was deeply ashamed, and was troubled for years by the Incident, for he had not thought of bringing dishonor upon the Lord whom he loved. Later, he realized that the youth who mtJ was wrong: that the up-welllng and over bubbling Joy of life are peculiarly the privilege of the Christian. A Chris tian boy, less than other boys, should be a staid and solemn image. The best that life affords, of any kind of pleasure which does not leave an af termath of pain to anyone. Is the sure privilege of the Christian. Nobody else has so great a right to happiness as he. Recently, In a sermon, the cele brated preacher-author, "Ralph Con nor." raised the vital question, "Why is it that Christians go over to the world for their good times?" There Is a large measure of truth In the contention that many Christians seek their pleasures in peculiarly "worldly" ways. A grave incident against the twentieth century church Is that she has abdicated her right to a large range of legitimate pleasures. What Is the church offering as a substitute for the amusements which she rightly To Late! After you have one foot in the grave to think of life insurance. JK) IT NOW Take one out in the National Life Ins. Co. of Vermont. E. W. Thompson Columbian Bldg. condemns? It is an insufficient answer to say that Christians should find their joy in religious work and .wor ship; the normal, symmetrical life needs, and should have, healthful diversions and recreations of various kinds. An acute phase of the prob lem of the city Is this one of provid ing Innocent amusements for every body, and especially for young peo ple. In the good day when the church comes to her own, she will be the center, not of worship, alone, and of social, altruistic activity, but also of the recreations of the community. "It is not work that kills men." said Beecher: "It is worry. It Is not the revolution that destroys the ma chinery, but the friction." The full-orbed Christian man is an advertisement of the gospel. This Is one explanation of the popularity of college athletes as religious workers. Symmetry of life should be one of the fruits of the pirit; when Christianity permeates a person's work and play, then whatever he does is for the glory of God. SEVKV SENTEXCE SERMONS. We can hardly learn humility and tenderness enough, except by suffer ing. George, Eliot.

I find that doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans. George Macdonald.

Enough to know that through the winter's frost. And summer's heat, no seed of truth is lost, And every duty pays at last its cost. Anon.

Some of your hurts you: have cured. And the sharpest you still have survived; But what torments of grief you en dured From evils which never arrived! Anon. High hearts are never long without hearing some new call, some distant clarion of God, even In their dreams; and soon they are observed to break up the camp of ease and start on some fresh march of faithful service, Martineau.

Dr. George Thomas Dowl ing, Episcopalian, Brooklyn. QUEENS AT THE HOME. It's a pity that women are crowding Into the occupations of men. The hus band finds himself unable to get work because the wife has a place that might be for him. The young man finds his sweetheart earning a salary in a posi tion that he might hold. The young man and sweetheart together can earn only a salary enough to live on. The young man should have the combined amount for a salary that he might marry the young woman. I believe that the less we have in this country of women working the better for us. I believe the American woman should be made a queen. Let us get the women out of the factories, workshops and stores, out of these unnatural sur roundings, and make them queens of the home. That would help solve this problem of the unemployed. It would establish more beautlf uHy domesticity, make happy married lives and bright homes. Rev. Dr. P. S. Henaon, Bap tist, Boston. -CHRIST'S TREMENDOUS PROGRAM. Jesus-'Christ has a tremendous pro gramme. It Is so vast that It Includes not only all men for all time, but for all eternity. He gave little time for the expression of details and special legislation. He laid down great prin ciples, the operation of which has al ready turned the world upside down In matters of morals and eternal hope. We have come to a- new place in the evolution of the human race.. The wild man went out with a club to meet the stranger. Today civilized men are learning how to live when huddled close together in thriving cities. Just as we have been scientifically learning now to work together with God, get ting Into harmony with the outgoing of his national laws, so we are learn ing how to work together like children of the same heavenly Father. We have now new social conditions. The average man has been lifted up. He is better fed, clothed, housed, educated and mor ally trained than princes and rulers of older times. The luxuries of even our fathers have now become the necessi ties of the average man. Religion comes to teach the fact of human brotherhood, to give better homes for the people and to provide healthful conditions In which men are to toil. Religion comes to give every man a fair chance, to protect him from the greed of the grasping and to say to the avaricious employer, "Thou shalt r.ot oppress the workmen. Kev. jjr.

No other example of the famous school of ".business fiction" of recent years has aroused more profound in terest than thie story. The author, George Randolph Chester, already fa mous as one of this country's clever est literary men, has received hun dreds of letters from all portions of the United Statesletters of com mendation and inquiry, some of them from our best known financiers, and all generally regarded as persons too busy to engage In", unnecessary cor respondence. 1 But, In the last analysis, the book stands on Its own7 merits. ,It appeals: To men because it Is humorous and wise; To women- because it is sympa thetic and tender; To all people because all people like an entertaining story, and be cause all people will, sooner or later, have to deal with some sort of a j. Rufus Wallingford. The new Randall Parrlsh novel, "Prisoners of Chance," Just published by A. C. McClurg Co., Chicago, tells the story of the adventures of Geoffrey Benteen, and. harks back to picturesque New Orleans at the time when Its high spirited aristocracy chafed at the disgraceful cession of their province to the Spanish govern ment. Among those whom Spanish vengeance had singled out were the father and the husband of the heroine, Eloise de Noyan. Geoffrey Benteen, her old time admirer, Is called upon to rescue her husband, a task which, owing to the latter's gay recklessness. Is no easy one. In tensely exciting Is the flight of the two from the Spanish frigate, and later, joined by the Lady Eloise and a war like, Puritan preacher, their all but fatal capture by Naladi, Queen of the Children of the Sun, a prehistoric people dwelling in. the mountains of the Arkansas country. The story lacks none of the romantic interest of Mr. Parrlsh's previous novels, and, with its fine colored illustrations by the Kinneys, should be not far from the leading novel of the season. In his recently published book. Bait Angling for Common Fishes, pub lished by the Outing Co., Louis Rhead has this to say concerning the worm as a bait: "Immediately on being dug, they should be well washed in clear water, and placed in an earthen ware Jar with plenty of moss. The moss should be well washed and wrung as hard as possible, and all the sticks and straw picked out, as they are apt to cut the worms. The Jar should be examined every second or third day, and all the dead or sickly worms removed, the moss changed, and a few small pieces of bread and a spoonful of milk put on the moss for their nourishment. The process of toughening worms can only be ac complished by keeping tne moss dry, so that the worms may lose some of the moisture of their bodies, and thus become tough and more durable. When impaling the worm on the hook. It is not necessary to pierce the hook through the middle of the body, but it can be and Is quite sufficient to hook it Just through the skin; it will hold if the barb Is sharp. In that way It enables the worm to act much more lively while In the water; it is the lively kicking movement that most attracts the fish. A dead worm Is of no value to tempt a fish to take It" Yard and Garden, by Tarkington Ba ker, Is a new production of the Bobbi- Merrlll Co. Yard and Garden differs materially from other books on gar dening subjects. It is .for the amateur first and last, for the expert, amateur as well as for the beginner. .It tells what to do and how to do It, and tells it on the basis of conditions in Amer ica, not in England.

The author, Tarkington Baker, has made garden ing his hobby; he Is an expert planter and landscape architect, but prefers to practice only for his own enjoy ment. In addition to a large city gar den, Mr. Baker has a country place, where, on more extensive grounds, larger operations are conducted. From both of these places material for the book has been collected. The begin ner may learn also how to plan his home grounds whether large or small and he is assisted in the work by a number of model designs. In the ap pendix are planting tables, and the lists will inform blm what will grow, thrive and bloom In shade as well as In sun a point always of value to the cSty gardener. Special chapters are devoted to vines,- shrubs, trees, peren nials, annuals, diseases, and their treatment, Insects and their extermi nation, soil, fertilisers, porch and win dow boxes, the Indoor winter window garden, bulbs, roses, peonies, phloxes and lawns. The cultural directions are specific and simple, and the book Is il lustrated by a large number of beauti ful photographs. The following is from Albert Hale's "The South Americans," recently pub lished by the Bobbs-Merrlll company: "As Uruguay Is new Spain, so Is Mon tevideo a new Madrid, with broad streets cleaned to a nicety, a leisurely habit of going and coming, trolleys just replacing horse-cars, and the people genial, courteous, hospitable, .with plenty of time for the amenities of so cial intercourse, but perhaps slow. They dress well, far better on the av erage than those In crowded. Impatient New York, while, their kindness and good manners, their-sincerity and hon esty, might put to the blush the resi dents of our metropolis. If blushing and an introspective examination of faults were at all compatible with urban life in the biggest city of the western continent. The men are dif ferent from Argentinos, although they have, of course, the same racial char acteristics, and the women are the most beautiful In the world. From street to street, from social tea to a gala function at the opera, or at Pocl tos, the charming little watering place just outside the capital, a foreign visi tor is constantly exclaiming, 'What beautiful women!' And how simple, elegant and dignified they are! These graces are not confined to the upper classes alone, but there seems some thing in the mode of living, or, as they modestly put it, in the climate, which brings out a physical beauty not Ama eonian at all, but splrituelle, dis tinguishing the Oriental from other wo men of South America." Mr. James Montgomery Flagg's new book of humorous verse and drawings, is called "All In the Same Boat" and is to be brought out by Life Publishing company sometime this autumn. It Kill be uniform with Mr. Flagg's other laugh-compellers, "If, a Guide to Bad Manners," "Why They Married" and "Tomfoolery." Lovers of mystery stories In which desperate crime Is unravelled have long been waiting for something novel In this fascinating field. Charles E. Walk has succeeded In giving a new and modern touch, to this established' form of fiction in his first essay, "The Silver Blade, A True Chronicle of a Double Mystery," newly published by A. C. McClurg Co. He has made his book not only a narrative of Incident and crime, but a romance of love and pas sion, and at the same time a novel of manners and character. His detective officer is a human being, not a bit of mechanism, and he enters the lives of the families involved in the two mur ders about which Interest centers as a sympathetic soul In short, as a lovable personality.. For all that the mystery remains mysterious to the end when a moment's reasonable explanation un ifies everything. Moffat, Yard Company announce for early autumn publication a book by Samuel McComb.

The readers who have already guess ed that bo sincere and winning a por trait was drawn from life will be glad to know .something about the original of Old Phile. His name was Mackey, and he lived In Rockport (the Bluff town of the story). In the "pocket" of Indiana, during and after the civil war. Himself poor, ne was always ready to help poorer ones, runaway slaves from Kentucky, who found a refuge and kindness with him. When the war end ed and the south was overrun with homeless, bewildered negroes, he gath ered together those that had drifted to Rockport and helped them to found a settlement to themselves outside of the town where they might learn the ele ments of citizenship away from the ruinous Influence of white men. The town was called Mackeytown In grati tude to the founder, and Mackey and his big-hearted wife devoted their lives to the humble work of teaching and helping the childlike and irresponsible people. After his death the wife car ried on- the work alone, and her own house became a home for homeless, broken-down creatures whom the world had treated roughly. In their lives these two were called negrophlles, but no one who has read Mrs. Blake's story will deny to them the broader title lovers of humanity.

The spirit of the book is this, that "a good Investment is a good speculation and that unless It is a good specula-'" tlon, it is not even a safe Investment. This statement Is something more -than a bon mot as the reader wilt dis- cover. In other words, it is unwise-' for an Investor to exchange his good money for securities, except at those -times and under those conditions, which ensure the absolute safety of his principal; and when securities are so bought, they are certain to en- hance in value and thus add to the original principal. What those times and conditions are, Mr. Hall discusses with painstaking care and clearness t and In an interesting way. Valned Same as Gold. B. a.

Bell Phone 64 5 TY The marriage of Miss Lora Neil, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Neil, 1257 Fillmore street, and Mr. Edward Lannan of St. Louis, formerly of To peka, will take place Saturday. May 23 at the home of the former.

This afternoon at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Morton. 200 Harrison street, the mar riage of Miss Edith Morton and Mr. Carl Trapp was celebrated. The hour of the ceremowirWas "half after .two o'clock and the Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Eatey perfor'riTea'-the ceremony." Invi tations were limited to relatives and a few Intimate friends. The house was decorated with garden flowers and palms. The ceremony took place in the living room and the bridal. party stood in a bay window banked with palms. Miss Emma Smith played the wedding marches and the only attend ant was little Richard Cartlidge, who carried the -wedding ring In a May basket.-' Misses Margaret Going, Julia Wellhouse and Hazel Jones assisted in the dining room. The bride wore a traveling toilet of Rajah silk, wood shade, with a Madam Butterfly jacket and a plaited skirt and one of those good looking street hats that flare up on one side and scoop down on the other, of leghorn, trimmed with brown wings. Mr. and Mrs. Trapp have gone east to spend a week or ten days and will be at home after the first of June at 1401 Polk street. m The "Varsity club's annual at Mc Rae's last night was attended by a large company of Washburn and town young people and was one of the notable entertainments of the spring season. The hall was decorated with girls as you will see by reading over the appended list of those present: Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Bowman, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Gossett, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Vernon, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Haughey, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Adams, Printed by Request Develops Woman's Charms Madame Moneaux, deceased beau ty specialist of New York, long pos sessed the greatest of all secrets pertaining to feminine charm. And what is this great secret, so much desired by women the secret that has made a vast fortune for the madam's heirs, and that brought her all the famous actresses and society leaders for patrons? "What, you don't know!" It Is a simple, but sure method of developing the bust, arms and neck of women, who through defect of nutrition and circulation, are hu miliated by undeveloped arms, neck and bust. The treatment consists of applying a powerful but harm less nervine-stimulant to the cells of the skin, to be absorbed and util ised aa nourishment to the flesh cells and tissues. Beautiful changes are wrought. Ugly, deformed wo men are developed into charming personages, with well rounded arms and neck and full normal bust ot exquisite curve and proportion so much admired in our great act resses and society leaders. Any leading druggist will supply the in gredients to mix at home, and as they are used for various prescrip tions, no one need be the wiser as to what they are to be used for, wh'ch is as it should be for modest womanhood. Get separately "two ounces glycerine," "three ounces Rose Water" and "one ounce Tinc ture Cadomene" and 6 cents worth of borax. Take home, mix the gly cerine with Tincture Cadomene, shake and let stand two hour.; then add a teaspoonful of borax and the rose water. Shake well and apply to the neck, arms and bust, rubbing and massaging until completely ab sorbed: then wash thoroughly with hot water and soap and dry thor oughly. Apply morning and night regularly for several weeks and the most beautiful development will begin to reward the efforts. Tt i i believed by experts to be the most j. necessary and effective prescription J ever conceived.

It has been about two years' now since, the Topeka girls discovered that ,if you dissolve tube paints in' gasoline you can dye any thing except hair successfully and they have' More Fun changing .the color of their shoes, hose, gloves, veils and the flowers on their hats than they ever had In all their lives before. But the limit in dyeing was achieved by Miss Eugenia Quinton and Miss Gertrude Mulvane whose tea at the home of the former Thurs day was one of the events of the week for the debutantes. The piece de resistance of the tea table in the dining room was a rustic basket over flowing with Yellow snowballs, If you will stand for that contradiction which the hostesses had dyed for the occasion. And why, you will ask, Tellow snowballs. O just 'cause! The guest of. honor at the tea, pretty Miss Edith Morton, is a brunette and yel low is her favorite color, and It's so much fun to dye. It was really a bee-yut-iful dining room with huge baskets of bilious snowballs in the middle of the table and white candles, all around the room and those charm ing debutantes re.celevlng and assist ing and all talking and laughing at once and having the best time in the world. The receiving line was par ticularly alluring. Miss Quinton in a pale pink taffeta. Miss Mulvane (by the way she's one of the most stun ning of the local beauties, with a fig ure and clothes that look just like Vogue and praise can go no farther and wonderful Titian hair) in a dream of gown of yellow liberty satin and white lace, and the prospective bride as graceful and lovely as a flower in a white embroidered muslin over pale yellow. There was a charming bunch of assisting girls in their most partifled clothes and the guests numbered all the debutantes and sub-debutantes and as many of the old girls as could break in. But Miss Morton had to divide hon ors with the youngest bud of all, Little Miss Elizabeth Rebecca Mulvane, not yet a year old who was with her mother, Mrs. Don Mulvane, and who was the center of an admiring group all the afternoon and had no less than fifteen different nurse maids quarrel ling over her and disputing whether she looked more like the Mulvanes or the Fleishmans and which one of the Fleishmans. She wore a beautiful hand made gown of finest white handkerchief linen, embroidered and put together with beading and rolled hems and all that sort of thing and her poise, nonchalance and savior faire (what do you know about that?) proclaimed the future belle. But she wouldn't be the daughter of her mother, one of the most charming young matrons In Topeka, if she were not a success with the women as well as the men. She was surely the hit of the piece Thurs day. Miss Morton was the recipient of many social honors in the fort night preceding her wedding which was almost the first in her set and therefore of immense interest to the Young Crowd.

Exciting whispers' may be heard in the high school set nowadays about the peachy party the Delts are going to give at the National roof garden their spring annual.

The State Journal la a member cf tM Asaoclated Preea and receives the far. day telerraph report of that treat new or ganization for the exoluatve afternoon publication In Topeka. The news la received In The State Jour nal building over wires for thl ole pur roae. This murder mart that Is being dug up at Laporte, Ind., is actually too terrible an affair to contemplate. That a woman could be such a cruel monster, a Mrs. Guinness was, ha not seemed possible. Paul Morton has returned to his old tove, the Santa Fe. This time, how ever, he does not go back as a salaried employe. He takes his place among the board of directors. And a hearty welcome home has been given him. Nobody can blame the rank and file of the Kansas coal miners for becom lnging discontented at the slow prog ress being made toward the settlement of the strike that has been on for a couple of months. They are desirous of getting back to work. Everyone sincerely hopes that the Ideal and ambition of King Manuel of Portugal will be realised. When this boy king was proclaimed the ruler of his nation said: "My ideal is the nation's prosperity and my ambi tion is the winning of my people's love." These are noble thoughts to come from a young man. There Is plenty of room for discus sion on the proposition suggested by Fred S. Jackson, the state's attorney general, that the legislature create a state bureau in connecton with the Insurance department which shall have the authority to fix the fire In surance rates in the state. There's no doubt on. which side the insurance companies wtjl stand In this discus sion. If the Kentucky night riders at tempt to ply their nefarious trade In Ohio as they threaten to do they will get Just the sort of a "reception that they should have been given in their home state long ago. At this recep tion they will be served with good hot balls, from rifles In the hands of the Ohio national guardsmen. It's to be hoped that all of the night riders In Kentucky get over Into Ohio and they can then be wiped out of existence In one fell swoop. Japan's financiers are evidently a most modern lot, or rather they have some original ideas as to what con stitutes a nation's credit. The mika do's government bonds are now rated ten points below the standard but the financiers of the flowery kingdom do not see any element in this condition of affairs which should be injurious to the national credit of the country. Let them try to float a big loan in other lands and they will soon find out just how good, or how poor, their national credit is under the present circum stances. Edward Payson Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, declares that freight rates must be advanced or the wages of railroad employes cut if the rail roads are to properly perform their duties to the public. He prefers the former plan and declares that trans portation is the only Commodity, the price -of which has not advanced from 25 to 75 per cent during the past ten years. Maybe this might be explained by the fact that it has been thought generally that trans portation rates were placed at a maximum figure in the beginning. Cigarmakers are known to be the best informed of any of the laboring classes. And there is a reason for this which is likely news to many peo ple. In all the large cigar factories throughout this country, and other countries as well, the management, or In many Instances the employes them selves, hire a professional reader who reads aloud to them for several hours each morning and afternoon, the news papers, magazines and current novels, The work of the cigarmakers, when they become expert, is such that they are able to divert their thoughts to other things, and as there is no ma chinery or other things in their shops to create any noise, their attention is moat profitably given to the news and current literature of the day as it is Imparted to them by the readers. It Is too bad that conditions are such in other trades as to preclude the Work ers from enjoying similar advantages. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Cannon had a heart to heart talk recently in which some language that is charac terised as "blunt" was used. It Is re ported that the' president told the speaker of the house of representa tives that he must bear the blame if the Republican party Is led to de feat. If such an event transpire the blame will properly belong right where Mr. Roosevelt haa placed it on ta shoulder of Uncle Joe. He la the arch disciple of the do-nothlngism of the present congress.-. Although he Is in the feather-weight class, physically, he appears to be quite big enough to hold down the congressional lid at all hazards and there is no Indication that as a result of his talk with the president he has any desires or Inten tions to do otherwise than to keep It firmly in place. And then one of his biographers ha the nerve to say that Joe Cannon is in sympathy with the president's policies, and for that rea son is entitled to the Republican presidential nomination. A SATURDAY SERMON. Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor T John 12:5. The best belongs to those loved. There are times when the world's standards of value are to be disre garded, and life's uttermost treasure to be poured forth freely as a love token. Who does not know exper iences which can not be measured by the world's yardsticks or weighed in the world's scales, or entered up in any commercial ledgers, has lived a barren existence indeed. Love does not calculate or reckon; this utter freedom from any taint of self caring la love's divinist charm. All that It has seems to love too small an offering to make to one be loved. Mary had anointed Christ with an oil that was reckoned to have cost many dollars but price was not con sidered by the grateful sister of Laza rus. Like the sudden intrusion of the wrangling of an Oriental market place into the scene- of harmony at the feast of Bethany fell the captious criticism of Judas. "Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?" When a critic is serving some per sonal interest, he is to be disregard ed: this superficially reasonable ob jection of Judas was not honest, for he was a thief, and stole the money from the treasury of which he was custodian. He was not a friend of the poor, but an enemy. Indeed, ev ery person who is tempted to be crit ical and censorious should look well to himself to discover if the fault may not be within. The ungraciousness of Judas' act, in that he was a guest and Mary was one of his hostesses, has been ob scured by the rank heinousnesa of it. For Judas, the robber of the poor, was about to deliver up to death his Master, and for a sum amounting to less than half of what Mary poured out in unrestrained love. Mary was promptly vindicated by the Master, who paid a rare tribute. She had discerned that to which his other friends had been blind; her woman's heart had seen the cross and the grave, waiting in the future further along the road. Nlcodemus, who had failed to give the Lord his love in life, brought precious spices to the dead body; Mary gave spike nard made doubly fragrant by her loyal, loving devotion; and she did it while her Master was yet alive to be comforted by the deed. THE MODERN PATCH. While the baby state of the union is bending all of its youthful energies to the solution of the problem of self government, the state doomed perpet ually to be the smallest of the sister hood is wrestling with the problem of remodeling its constitution to meet modern conditions. The Rhode Is land legislature has just passed reso lutions to submit to the voters the proposition to change the fundamen tal law of the state so as to place suf frage approximately on a population basis. With this proposed amend ment goes one to give the governor the veto power. Like Connecticut the state of Roger Williams elects its leg. islature with practically complete dis regard for the distribution of the population. -The state lawmaking body is made up of representatives of towns. Although this system appear ed fair enough generations ago before the tendency of people to segregate in large cities became pronounced. It is manifestly unfair now; the large places have a grossly Inadequate rep resentation while some-of the towns, whose population has decreased un der the stress of modern trade, enjoy undue influence at the state capito The effort to correct the evils of the present antiquated system has of ten been attempted both in Connecti cut and Rhode Island, but the towns have been jealous of their rights and successfully resisted efforts to shear them of some of their power. Now that the latter has finally got its leg islature to act, It would appear that the people of the cities ought to be able to pass the amendment at the polls. The Issue is somewhat complicated by the veto question, but In spite of this the signs appear to indicate that our tiniest state is about to place a modern patch on her ancient consti tutional garment A PROBLEM FOR CHEMISTS. Investigation of the cause of the explosion which caused the sinking of the Japanese cruiser Matsushima with over two hundred officers, seamen and cadets, ought to arouse direct interest in every nation which maintains a navy. The magazines of the ill-fated cruiser blew up while the majority of those on board were In their ham mocks or bunks, and while the guards were alert on deck. There is there fore no escape from the conviction that the explosion was due to spon taneous combustion in the magazine. Accidents of this kind have occurred in three conspicuous instances. Ac cepting the growing belief that the Maine was accidentally destroyed, there have been explosions' of maga zines on United States, French and Japanese warships. Great Britain has thus far been immune from magazine explosions, but whether this has been due to good fortune alone or to differ ences in the constituents of the ex plosives is a matter of interest that can be revealed only by formal ln- vestigation. If Great' Britain possesses the secret of an explosive of high pow er that can be carried in the magazines of ships without danger of spontaneous fulmlnation through chemical changes. she is not likely to reveal It to the other powers, as It Is too valuable an advantage to deliberately ignore. On the other hand, if It can be made to appear that Great Britain has a safer smokeless powder, the chemists may secure a clue that will make such powder common property and thus guard the seamen of the future against the fate of the men who have .thus far been blown up by magazine accidents. Great Britain has had her share of naval accidents, but they have been mainly during the maneuvering of fleets and experiments with torpedo boats and submarine craft. In the line of explosions she haa had only few gun accidents. This may be signifi cant, or, as has been said, it may be a matter of luck. JOURNAL ENTRIES It would seem that a chauffeur might properly be defined as the janitor of an auto. If a fellow Is crazy over a girl the best thing he can take for his ailment is the girl herself. Some folks are so addicted to the drug habit that they even buy their postage stamps in drug stores. Small wonder Is it. IndeedL that domes tics resent being treated as the equals of some of their employers. An Idea that it is impossible for a person to sit still for a continued period of time can be shattered If one will study the average farm hand. J A YHA WKER JOTS Kingman is boasting that the county jail had not held a prisoner for two years. The editor of the Altoona Tribune took in six or seven dollars last week on subscription and bought a suit of clothes. He is now being called a plu tocrat. Down at Rest, In Wilson county, the correspondent says that everyone is working hard planting corn. What s the use living in Rest if you are com pelled to work? queries the Wichita Eagle. A Pittsburg man. who has heretofore been skeptical about the good of reform schools, Is no longer a doubter. He picked up a hungry and homeless boy and gave him a job, which included plenty to eat and some current coin, and at the end of his first week the poor, friendless waif tapped his bene factor's till for $31. McMullin Brothers' new hearse has arrived. It is one of the most artistic funeral cars we have seen in the west. The carving is of the highest type, the silver adornments are very beauti ful, it is equipped with removable pins which prevent a coffin from slipping about even on the roughest roads, has rubber-tired wheels and altogether has the dignity and the necessities that fit occasions upon which it must be brought into use. Anthony Bulletin. According to Will Townsle of Great Bend a man in that town is in the habit of saying the first thing as he enters his house at noon: "Is dinner ready?" His wife has tried a number of ways to get him to say something else first, but has been unsuccessful. The inquiry urates on her ears, and on Monday she painted her nose yellow and put blua rings on her cheeks. He stared at her for a moment and then asked if dinner was ready.

Judge Gray, of Delaware, a. man with a conscience, was recently offered a position with one of the big Insurance companies at $200,000 a year. He declined the offer, giving several reasons, one of them being his convic tion that no mantn the United States should draw more money than the president. This theory unfortunately, is not apt to gain many enthusiastic adherents, but .it is highly creditable to the judge. A recent utterance of Mr. Cleveland. to the effect that some provision should V ivt me ex-presiaems or in United States, caused much discussion. ana tnere were few who argued the negative side of the proposition. We, the people, with whom wisdom will die, are unaccountably stingy in the matter of salaries. The idea of economy in remunerating public servants orlginat- ea in me early days of the republic, when president rode to the White House on horseback, and statesmen used Shanks' old mare In traversing to the capital, and "simplicity" was tho watchword; also. In those days, a dol lar was as large as a merry-go-round, and would buy as much as five dollars will buy now. The old conditions have passed away. with the abnormal value of a dollar, but the idea of economy continues to prevail, and so we send ambassadors and consuls and other representative to foreign courts on such pitiful stip ends that unless they have money of their own they have to board at the chop houses and ret their clothing at second-hand stores; and this fatuous sort of parsimony has made the diplo matic service a thing of contempt and ridicule the world over. The salary of the president Of the United States, as measured by the sal aries of great lawyers and officials of corporations is ridiculously small; and it is still niggardly when measured by his expenses and necessities. It would be more creditable to pay liberal sal aries to the presidents while they arc in office, than-to hold oyster suppers or donation parties for their relief after they have retired. Stinginess is most unbecoming to as big a chap aa Uncle Sam.-Emporia Ga zette. MR. MAXIM'S VISION. Hudson'" Maxim, the inventor, in a speech he recently made to the mag azine editors of New York, said that the value of the airship as a fighting craft could hardly be over-estimated and averred that; a fleet of airships would, in the future, do much toward securing permanent peace on earth. The inventor takes a more sane view of the use of airships in war than do most airship enthusiasts. In stead of running battleships through the air, with which death can be dealt out by sixteen men guns, ne sayB mat the war airship will be used almost exclusively for scouting purposes, es pecially to locate torpedo flotillas and inform the water ships by wireless of the result of their trips. It is in this way that the airship will become a part of the navy, according to the speaker, and It must be confessed that his talk sounds more plausioie tnan that of many others who have under taken to tell us what the future noias In the way of aerial navigation. Any active fighting the airships may participate Jxy thinks Mr. Maxim, will be limited to-lropping bombs on torpedo boats and other light craft. There will be no4 roar of heavy artil lery nor will great fighting forces be transported across" seas and .landed in the capital of theu opposing nation by moonlight." Mr. Maxim's vision into the future seems to be more likely of realization than any of which we have heard recently. Saiina Journal. ER0M OTHER PENS ENGLISH ANTIFREE TRADE RE PORTS. The British tariff commission has just made a significant report on the causes t of a lack of employment in the United Kingdom, r A comparison Is given with the industrial situation in the United States, and Germany, both protective countries, and the conclu sion is that they are better off than England in regard to unemployment. The reason is frankly stated to be the free Importation into England of for eign manufactured goods, and the re striction of British exports by foreign tariffs. Figures from the British board of trade bear out this view of the matter, and the board gathers its facts from all branches of industry tnrougnout tne Kingdom, ay the com mission's showing the average of un employment in Great Britain was 4.1 per cent for the ten years ending with 1906. It is now 6.4 per cent, having lncreasea considerably since last year. Lack of employment is one of the most serious evils with which civilix ed society contends. The idle man loses his wages and the community is de prived of his work. Every possible ef fort should be made to aid the In dustrious and law-abiding to get work at a fair recompense. Enforced idle' ness is a bitter thing and a political danger. A nation that protects its Industries and rate of wages gives its citizens a safeguard in employment and just compensation. Suppose this country should try free trade, how long would it take the leviathans cross ing the Atlantic In five or six days to nooa our markets witn many manu factured articles produced by cheap labor? Great cargoes of shop-worn stuns wouja De aumpea upon us. Bank rupt stocK.3 wouia De poured in as long as our superior buying capacity lasted. Opportunities for American la bor at American wages would vanish. St. Louis uobe-Democrat. MAKING VOTING COMPULSORY. It is now Illegal to vote when one is not entitled to vote. It ought to be illegal for one not to vote when he has a right to do so. There is no way in which a respectable man can Injure his city and state and nation so much as to refrain from the exercise of his right or suffrage. In our scheme of government we have many "Thou shalt nots." We should have more "Thou shalts." No one would think of calling it paternalism1 to prevent one from directly injuring the community, it wouia not be more paternalistic to protect the community from indirect injury. We have plenty of negative rules. We need at least this one more positive one that a citi zen should be made to serve society by voting, just as he can be compelled to give jury service. This would not be Impracticable. An able-bodied, mentally sound man who is not necessarily away from the city should be penalized for not voting. That would be the nearest equivalent society has for making him vote. And it would be effective. The bad citizen always votes. Whether he is bad because he desires some undue advantage from the community or is- fead- because he rebels at good government or has a purchas able vote he sees his Interest and votes. The .votes which are not cast are of those who would usually vote right if they voted at alL Kansas city Btar. A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY.

Jean Griffith looked about her curi ously. The street was at once familiar and strange, like an old friend en countered after years of separation. Five years had passed since Jean's father had moved out west five years of mingled pain and pleasure, and this was her first return visit. She was stopping at a downtown ho tel and had come uptown to call on some of the girls she knew to be still living in the old neighborhood. The altered aspect of the street re minded her that she, too, had changed. One learns much in five years. bna had been glad to leave the city five years before. At 18 she had lust broken her engagement with Tom Fleming, and had felt that every one in their set was talking about it. It had been an absurd quarrel. She had wanted to live in the city, and Tom had set his heart upon the purchase or a little home in the country. They had been walking down that very street one afternoon, and she had insisted upon inspecting the apart ments In a house just being completed. Tom had protested that it Was useless to look at flats when they wanted a country home, and though Jean had her way, Tom had grumbled all the time they were being shown through the rooms. As they had stood on the steps after the caretaker had left them, Jean had declared her intention of living in one of the corner apartments, and Tom had turned stiffly away with the de claration that it was apparent they never could agree. With her head held high, she had watched him go down the street, but when he had turned the corner ahe had hurried home to wash out in tears her pain and indignation. A few weeks later she had moved away, and Tom, his anger slowly cool ing, had found out too late what that going meant to him. He had written, but his letter was half apologetic, still half defiant, in tone, so Jean had not answered. He had not written again. Jean found none of the girls at home and with hurried step she started for the avenue where the cars ran. A cloud of ominous blackness was form ing and the wind blew down the side streets In cold gusts that threatened an immediate precipitation. She was within a block of the car line when the storm broke and she huddled under the nearest awning. It was the only shelter In sight, and since it shielded the windows of a saloon she could not enter the place. The fury of the storm was soon spent, but In place of the terrific downpour a gentle rain fell, and since there was a suggestion of clear weather, Jean waited in the hope that she might not have to ruin her new hat. As she stood thus her heart gave a great leap, for coming down the street, his head bent, was Tom Fleming. Not until he was almost opposite her did he sees her, then he halted with a look of glad surprise on his face. "I did not know that you were in town," he cried as he advanced with outstretched hand. "I only arrived last night." she ex plained. "I came up to see some of the girls, hut could find no one at home and was starting for the car when the storm broke and anchored me here." "Come under my umbrella." he sug gested. "The rain is almost over and that dress doesn't look as though the damp would hurt it. I'll see that your hat doesn't get wet." Almost before she knew it, Jean had tucked her arm through Tom's, and they were going down the street In the old familiar way. To her sur prise Jean found it very pleasant to be under the umbrella with Tom. It seemed impossible that five years had passed since they had walked un der the same umbrella. Tom had greeted her so quietly and had ac cepted her presence so much as a matter of course that she forgot all that had happened in the interval. The rain pattered softly, almost tunefully on their umbrella. The flood had swept clean the dusty streets and the walks and roadways were now scarcely more than wet. There was a clean, sweet smell in the air, rid of Its exdess of dust, and here and there they passed a private resi dence with its tiny garden and the scent of growing things and newly turned earth. Few people were abroad, for the rain had driven most of them to cover, so these two had the street pretty well to themselves. Tom chatted of the people she had known, and Jean was so interested that be fore she realized it they were in front of the apartment house on the steps of which they had their first and last quarrel. She half stopped as she recognized the place and Tom, feel ing the pressure on his arm came to a halt. "Maybe they have, not rented the apartment yet," he declared with a whimsical smile," as he pointed to a sign beside the door announcing that there were four and five room apart ments to let. with steam heat and hot water. "Let's drop in and see if they have?" For an Instant Jean halted, then she yielded to the whim and followed Tom up the steps. The Janitor made his appearance .and in answer to Tom's questions declarea ,that there were several empty apartments, i "There's one on the second, two on the third and one on the fifth," he said. With the unenthusiastlc manner of 1a.nltnra he rapidly enumeratea tne good point of the apartments in mechanical fashion, but Tom checked him. s "We know all about the place.' he said., "We Just wanted to see that it was still In good condition. .1 Bhall want some 'changes made in the; paper-." "You'll have to see the agent about that," announced the Janitor producing a card. "He'a only two blocks away." The man shuffled off to answer the call of a tenant and Tom led Jean to the window. The sun had broken through the western sky and a huge rainbow spanned the city. inai is tne siarn or peace," re minded Tom, "Just as that To let' was of good omen. Will you forgive my bad temper and forget the last five years? Believe me. I have been sufficiently punished! You said that it was here that you wished to start housekeeping." "i think I am still of the same opinion," confessed the girt shyly. Somehow this new Tom. with his gen tle ways, was far more attractive than the imperious Tom Fleming of five years before. Do you know," she went on, "that when I got off the car a couple of hours ago it was like stepping into the past and taking up life where I left it five years back. Of course lots of things have changed, but it all seems bo good it's like coming Jack from a journey and realizing that you are at home again." "Ana this is going to be home to us," said Tom, tenderly. "We will forsret the five vears. and riretend we haven't gone downstairs that first time yet." "No." Jean shook her head with energy. "We will profit by experience ana not auarrel this time." "Quarrel," echoed Tom, "I should say not. Once Is more than enough for me. Fate'B given me another chance, but there never would be a third. I've got you dear, and I'm go ing to keep you for life." (Copy righted, 1908, by Associated Literary tress.) A Test of Honesty.- Men are men. as oysters are oysters.

In this connection we may advance the theory that policemen, culled from the human hive, are about as honest aa men in other walks, and no more so. Many of my readers will recall the severe test that the Chicago Herald once made of average honesty among the people of the Windy City. It demonstrated the fact, which every cosmopolitan already knew, that men Inclined toward honesty sometimes yield to temptation. The plan of that city editor was to have pocketbooks containing various sums of money dropped upon Bide. walks in the most fashionable section of the town. A special detective was assigned to shadow the finder in each case, in order to report as to that in dlvidual's conduct. In each portemon naie was a card, giving the name and address of the supposititious owner, and asking for the return of the wallet, in case of loss. The record was very discouraging to a believer in average honesty. Out of a score of money packages thus used as decoys, three were promptly returned, without any demand for reward. Five were advertised; but, in one notable case, the amount of money, was de cidedly less than the wallet had con tained! Several other parcels had been picked up by men and women on their way to church not one Of which was advertised or returned to the ad dress given! The name of each finder was ascer tained. Whether all were published or not has slipped my memory. But they ought to have been. A law stands upon the statute book of every state making the retention of lost money or jewels an act of larceny on the part or tne nnaer. The criminal code of this state Is precise upon thia point; but it is quite probable that a test applied to our citizens would not show any higher degree of general Integrity than the cnicago trial exhibited. Julius Cham bers in the Brooklyn Eagle. Meat In Moderation. "I notice," said Dr. J. K. Ballinger.of San Francisco, at the Belvedere, "that the newspapers speak of the serious ill ness of Senator La Follette, of Wiscon sin. His ailment is said to be stomach trouble and this reminds me that the senator has been frequently mentioned In the public press as a devoted vege tarian. He was said to boast of retain. ing good physical condition on a diet of nuts and vegetables. "Without pretending to know any thing of his particular case, I must say that the vegetarian theory is open to grave objection. While it is not well to eat too much meat a sin most Ameri cans commit the entire elimination of meat from the daily menu is not to be recommended. The experience of man kind for several thousand years is not to be disregarded, and for all the cen turies of which we have any record man has been a carnivorous animal." Baltimore American. Old Fashioned Spring Medicine. The lower class of Italians have splendid complexions, which they at tribute to drinking in May and April an ample sufficiency of dandelion steep ed in gin. This infusion awakens the torpid liver and quickens the circula tion of the blood, opens the pores of the skin and healthifies the endothelium throughout the body. Even the babies have their regular spring doses of this blood purifier. The old-time German doctors pre scribed senna as a spring medicine, and the descendants of their patients use It to this very day as faithfully as the Italians use dandelion and gin. Senna leaves can be had of any drug gist. Ten cents' worth will straighten up an entire family. Never make tea of It by boiling. If you do you will have something worse than green ap ple gripes or green corn colic. Dr. Berckman says: "Soak a pinch of leaves fifteen hours in cold water, strain and drink before going to bed. Repeat this about once a weSk for April or May." New York Press. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Many a man is perfect as a nui sance. Induce people to laugh with you In stead of at you. Money makes the mare go to the highest bidder. Talent has a gay time spending the coin earned by genius. The three-ball merchant never ad vances any thin- on the rewards of virtue. When a man doesn't feel like talk ing he hunts up some woman and listens. Some men are too good to be clever and some others are too clever to be good. Don't attempt to make your mark in the world by making a mark of your neighbor. And many a man is unable to keep change in tils pockets because of his wife's small hand. By starting for the north pole In an automobile the explorer would at least have a new excuse for not getting there. i coats S0PPs Loole Linkenfusser, Somevare in Chawcawgo: Dear Looie: Hazing recetfed your postage card from der Chawcawgo zooanimal rectory, I vill wroten Ala to dere, aldough I do nod know vlch cage to adress id ad, yet.

VIM .ANDJSIN6ER. They Characterlaed Commercial Club Meeting Last Night. Letter From Jerry Black Con cerning: Train Service Read. THE FAIR PROPOSITION II. A. Heath Delirer an Optl miotic Address. New Life Insurance Company Given a Boost. There were many new face at last Bight's meeting: of the Commercial club and this may be taken aa an in dication that an awakening is near, for the attendance last night was larger than It has been for months past. Early In the evening Colonel George Washington Jackson circulated a box of cigars among the members and It may be that the fact that this box was known to be on tap naa something to do with the rousing at tendance at the meeting. A letter from W. J. Black, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe, was read by Secretary Poole ana me tone Indicates that those living on branches of that line will be compelled to get along with the present service. The complaint has been made by people living on these lines that the service is such that they can not reach Topeka and do their shopping without spena lng a day and night In the city. Letter I Tom Mr. Black. In the communication addressed to the Commercial club last night Mr. Black said: "I have yours of April 80 in refer ence to passenger train service to To peka, but am sorry to say I do not see any way to Improve present service without materially increasing our operating expenses which you are well aware Is not Justified under present conditions. "Some years ago we established lo cal train service into Topeka from the west, but In short order found that the earnings did not Justify the expense. If such conditions prevailed with a rate of three cents per mile, it is, 01 course, a foregone conclusion that our loss wohld be much greater with a rate of two cents per mile. "It Is decidedly unfortunate for all concerned that the legislature under took to reduce the transportation charges of the railroads without a thorough Investigation. We under took to convlnoe the railroad com mission that what the people of the west needed was increased and im proved train service and facilities and not a reduction In rates. As they would not be convinced they have as sisted In creating a condition of affairs which has restricted available funds for Improvements, additional train service, etc. "I know you will understand that we have the disposition to aid Topeka to the fullest extent at all times and that If we could see our way clear to Im prove existing service without a ma terial sacrifice 'we would be only too glad to do so.' There was no discussion of the sub ject, the club having done over the matter thoroughly at the previous meeting. H. A. Heath delivered an optimistic talk on the state fair proposition. "We are going to have a state fair in Topeka this year," said Mr. Heath, "and though a technicality seems to stand in the way of getting the as sistance from the county that we had hoped for we will have the fair, and that Is a foregone conclusion. We have advertised the fact that we will hold a fair this year and already we are receiving Inquiries from exhibi tors in all parts of the country who are anxious to meet with us. There is no reason why Kansas should not hold the best fair In the history of the state right here In Topeka this fall." A delegation from the Knights of Pythias presented a proposition to the Commercial club asking the or ganization to take steps towards land ing the state convention for 1909. "All we want," said Mr. Smith, "is an Invitation from the Commercial club and the assurance that we will be furnished with a meeting place. "If the meeting Is landed In To peka It will probably mean that this city will be made state headquarters for the organization and this will mean the erection of a fine office building and the expenditure of at least $100,000 during the year follow ing." Prosperity Resolution Adopted. The following resolution presented by the National Prosperity association of St. Louis was adopted by the club- "We of Topeka and of the state of Kansas sincerely acquiesce In the hopeful sentiment expressed in this letter of the National Prosperity asso ciation and have the more reason to do this with a heartiness of purpose, of good will and thankfulness because the troubles which have burdened the East during the last few months has been but little felt and heeded by Kansas and her people. The great prosperity has hardly been checked within the borders of this state and we might almost be in sublime ignor ance of any such thing as adversity to this continued prosperity but for the publications which reach us from the east. With crop prospects at this time almost unprecedented, with con fidence in our own abundant and in creasing resources, and with con fidence returning in the eastern part of our great and prosperous country promising a full market for the prod ucts of our farms, we have every rea son to look forward with enthusiastic good cheer to the future. "We feel that we are more than warranted in publishing to the citl sens of Kansas, the hearty indorse ment of the sentiments of the Na tional Prosperity association of St Louis, and offer the following resolu tion: "Therefore, be It resolved by the Topeka Commercial club, that we as Before Retiring Any unpleasant after effects from a late supper may be quickly dispelled, and restful sleep assured by taking a dose of the world-famed correctives BEECHAM'S PILLS Sold Everywhere, b boxes 10c ana 25a.

The BIO TROMP fills the bill. an organized body of the business men of Topeka, representing all branches of manufacture and trade, do hereby heartily indorse the action of the business men of St, Louis, that we have full faith in the sincerity and truth of the letter which they put out and that we co-operate with the Na tional Prosperity association In the broadest dissemination of this truth.' New Life Insurance Company. J. W. Haughey, president Of the New Century Life Insurance company, out lined the plans for the organization and promotion of the company which he says is the biggest thing which has been contemplated since the Rock Is land and Santa Fe railroads decided to include Topeka on the list of towns through which their lines pass. "I am not here asking for anything but the moral support of the member ship of this club and the citizens of Topeka," said Mr. Haughey, "for we have an organization which will stand the most careful investigation as a fin ancial proposition. A committee com posed of J. E. Robinson. W. W. Mills, C. K. Holllday, William Green, W. H. Davis and D. Paxton was appointed to meet with the officers of the New Cen tury Life Insurance company. A bill received by Secretary Poole.from City Clerk M. M. Hale for $25 for the use of the Auditorium for the con cert given by Marshall's band for the benefit of the state fair fund was re ferred to the membership last night This Is according to the custom of the custodian of the Auditorium and the matter will In due course of time be referred to the city council which may remit the sum or not, just as that body sees fit. H. M. Cole, who seemed to be labor ing under the Impression that he was addressing a convention of salesmen talked for an hour or such a matter on the question of "Scientific Salesman ship," on which he seemed to be thor oughly versed. The following new members were aa mitted to membership by a vote of the club: F. L. Evarts, A.' a. Lewis, Fera Dreisbach. H. K. Stewart and C. E. Morton, city passenger agent for the Rock Island railrioad. Ezra Meeker Present. By far the most interesting event of the evening was the address by Ezra Meeker, a resident of Oregon, who de scribes himself as "76 years young who has crossed the continent with an ox team attached to a prairie schooner in the interest of a national highway Mr. Meeker crossed the plains in 1852 in much the same way and his mission at this time is to awaken an interest in his project of a national highway lowing the old Oregon train, lowing the old Oregon trail. He has succeeded in interesting tne members of congress in his project to the extent that a bill carrying ah ap propriation of $50,000 has been Intro duced. This money is to be Used in marking the trail with suitable monu ments and as a step towards the re- establishment of the trail which was abandoned soon after railroad building commenced. Mr. Meeker arrived by rail as the rains of last week made the roads so heavy that he could not reach Topeka in time for last night's meeting had he driven his ox team. The outfit is now on his way to Topeka in charge of an assistant and will probably ar rive here some time Sunday. VESTED CHOIR'S LAST CONCERT. Final One Before Summer Vacation on Sunday Evening.

In a unique ceremony at Bellevue hospital a hus band and wife were divorced so far as their church is concerned, at the request of the wife so that she will not be compelled to obey a church law requiring a widow to marry her husband's brother or remain forever a widow. The man and woman thus separated are Noah Charlman, 29 years old, and Agnes Charlman 21 Uar8.0li The two were married on May 2. The next day the husband was taken violently ill and physicians have given him only a few days to live. Mrs. Charlman did not want to become the wife of her husband's brother, in case of his death, as the Mosaic law would have commanded. Her husband consenting, the church's ceremony of separation was performed. Zm2g SiSL 1 27' FOB RENT-HOUSES. I FOR' KATJT AnStTFXLANEOUS. I FOR KXCTHANOR.

EVERYBODY 16 PAGES READS IT. LAST EDITION. NOT THE W Arrest of Person Supposed to Be Mrs. Gunness Acknowledged to Be a Mistake by the Police. HE WANTS TO TALK. Lamphere Js Auxions to Discuss the Situation But Is Prevented From Doing So by His Lawyer. Syracuse, N. T., May 9. The wo man arrested here as Sirs. Belle Gun Bess of Laporte, Ind., has regular teeth and but one gold crown, which Is a molar on the left side. The Ea porte description of Mrs. Gunness states that her upper teeth were heav ily plated with gold. The police say the woman is not Mrs. Gunness. Two traveling men who left a New Tork Central eastbound train after 10 o'clock last night, at Rochester, re ports to the police of that city, that two women, one resembling Mrs. Belle Gunness, the Laporte, Ind., alleged murderess, were passengers on the train. The police called up the Syra cuse police and detectives boarded the train and after locating the women went on to ,Utlca In order to question them. They returned with the women and the police put them through an examination. The suspected woman said that she was Mrs. L. A. Herron, that her companion was her mother and that they were on their way to New York. This morning after a long interview with Mrs. Herron, Chief of Police Cadin said that she did not answer the description of Mrs. Gunness. At the woman's request he forwarded a telegram addressed to Mrs. Charles P. Rockefeller, 317 West Fortieth street. New York City. The mother gave her name as Mrs. Lucy Burton. She said that her home was in Chicago, where her daughter lived with her and that both had been at their summer home at Franklin, Pa., taking the train there for Cleve land, on their way to New York. Chief Cadln said he would detain the wo men until they had furnished com plete identification. Woman's Sister Is Found. New York, May 9. Mrs. Charles P. Rockefeller of this city, is a sister of Mrs. L. A. Herron. She said today that Mrs. Htrron has lived most of her life in Franklin, Pa., and that L. A. Herron, her husband, was former ly vice president of the Sethness com pany of Chicago, a concern manufac turing flavoring extracts. Mr. Herron did -in -Vicksburg,-Miss., last Christ mas, at which time, Mrs. Herron was a. guest of Mrs. Rockefeller .in this city Mrs. Rockefeller said her sis ter was on her way to this city to search for employment when she was taken into custody. Lamphere Wants to Talk. Laporte, Ind., May 9. A sharp contest between the prosecution and defense in the case of Ray Lamphere, who is accused of having caused the death of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three children is scheduled for today. H. V. Worden, attorney for the pris oner, said last night, that he would file an action in court here today with the object of compelling the author ities to abandon their policy of keep ing Lamphere in seclusion. Worden complains that when he went to the jail last night he was refused admit tance despite the fact that his client had sent for him. A possible explanation of the re fusal of the sheriff to admit Worden to Lamphere's cell is found in the fact that the former hired man of Mrs. Gunness said yesterday that he was willing to break the silence which he has maintained since his arrest provided that his attorney will agree to such a procedure. "I want to tell something I know because I know that it will help my cause if I do so," said Lamphere. "But my attorney says I must not talk and I won't until he says I can." This attitude of the prisoner has given the prosecution hope that he may soon reveal secrets which they have been endeavoring to solve by the slow system of circumstantial evi dence. At the same time it is realized that Attorney Worden will srarcelv change his attitude regarding the prisoner's making any admissions con cerning relations with Mrs. Gunness and that after the two have conferred on the subject, that silence will again enshroud the prisoner. So if Attor ney Worden begins court action against the prosecution, his move ments prooaDiy will De resisted stren uously. Yesterday's developments, outside the discovery of one more body on the farm centered mainly also about Lamphere's possible connection with the deaths. Many more witnesses were Interviewed by the prosecuting uiin-in ttnu ui iKasi two were sub poenaed formally. This brings the present nsi oi witnesses to 21. Most important of the evidence cured yesterday was the trunk which Lamphere left on the farm of John Wheatbrook where he was employed stnee February last. It was secured early yesterday, but it was not until well along in the eveninsr that th. fact that the authorities had found it became known. The Wheatbrook farm Is in the vi cinity ot opringvnie, a hamlet seven miles north of here and in the noi.h. borhood where Lamnhere snent hlo boyhood. His father was formerly a justice of the peace in that township and the earlier habits of Lamphere are to be investigated by the Pinker ton operatives who are aiding Sheriff Smutzer. Letters from Mrs. Gunness found in Lamphere's trunk urged him tn turn to the death farm and to bring his sweetheart with him. These let ters were sent to Springville and the Investigation to be made may result in discovering the "sweetheart" men tioned by Mrs. Gunness. Thus far ner laenuty is unratnomable. Her Story Is True. Chicago. May 9. It was stated at the office of the Sethness comnanv in this city that F. D. Herron, the hus band of Mrs. L. A. Herron, was vice president of the company until Janu ary 1 of this year. He died in Vicks- 6ATURDA.Y EVENING.' burg. Miss. The officers of the com pany declared that they had no present knowledge of the exact whereabouts of Mrs, Herron, but that her reported statement of having lived In Franklin, Pa., Is correct. Disappeared With $1,000. Washington, Pa., May 9. It Is pos sible that Gustave Thun, a former resi dent of this city", met an untimely end at the farm of Mrs. Gunness. at La porte, Ind.' A year ago Thun began a correspondence with a Michigan mat rimonial bureau, concerning a widow and three children who lived on a farm near Chicago. Thun departed for the purpose of marrying the widow. When he left here he had $1,000. Nothing has ever been heard of him since. This Ought to Settle It. Franklin, Pa., May 9. Mrs: F. B. Herron. arrested in Syracuse, N. Y., on suspicion of being Mrs. Belle Gunness, the Laporte archmurderess, lives in the country about eight miles from Franklin. She resides with her mother. Mrs. Lucy Burton, an aged lady. Mrs. Herron was reared in this vicinity and a number of years ago was married. Her husband died in the south last winter and Mrs. Herron brought the body here for burial. They had no children. Since then she has been in Chicago much, of the time, but had arranged to spend the summer with her mother. On April 25, she advertised in a Franklin newspaper for summer boarders, either children or adults. She has a brother, who resides here. The family has always borne a good reputation. On Trail of a Wateli. Omaha, Neb., May 9. Charles A. Williams formerly a Chicago jewelry jobber, now living in Omaha, sold one of the watches found in the Gunness home at Laporte, Ind., to a baking powder firm in Chicago. Mr. Wil liams says the watch was given by the firm to a grocery clerk as a premium and thinks that it can be traced In that manner. Its value at retail was about $15. COtLD NOT BE SHE. Laporte, Ind., May 9. Dr. H. H. Long, one of the physicians who per formed the autopsy on the body of r the woman found in the ruins of the Gun ness home after the fire, today made the following statement: "In my opinion the body of the wo man found in the house is not that of Mrs. Gunness. "A strange coincidence is that the forehead of all the children were burn ed at the same place. This is extra ordinary. A skull crushed by a blow at any point when subjected to fire, would more likely burn away at that point than at sound places as the heat and fire would reach the bony struc ture, and thus attack the cartilages from both sides. The theory that her head had been entirely burned away i3 disproved by the fact that being subject to the same intensity of heat and flames and being harder it could not have burned away as easily as the skulls of the children. "The body at the morgue is not that of Mrs. Gunness. because it is not cor rectly proportioned. It is that of a rather plump woman of the same gen eral contour of Mrs. Gunness, but weighing between 150 and 160 pounds. Mrs. Gunness weighed fully.225 pounds. "The arm that was burned off and found beside' the body is,. well formed. The fingers show evidence "of careful manicuring. and that was something that Mrs. Gunness knew nothing about. Basing my statements on the statis tics and figures of eminent physicians of this country and Great Britain I find that the body at the morgue is'al most five inches shorter than the body of Mrs. Gunness would be under simi lar circumstances. The fire would of course, cause the body to lose weight, but the general physical outline of the woman would remain. 'Mrs. Gunness was a woman of un usual appearance. She was large, bony, powerful looking, with square jaws and black eyes. She was a woman wno would attract attention anywhere from a lack of womanly characteristics. She wore a large fur coat during the winter and her long strides, together with her remarkable countenance and her really vicious appearance gave her an aspect that was almost terrify ing." Digging Is Resumed. The work of digging on the Gun ness farm was resumed today, only one man. however, being put at work. Up to 10 o clock there had been no developements and no trace of addi tional bodies had been discovered. The local authorities are endeavor ing to trace a young man named Canary, who, it is believed, mav have been one of the victims of Mrs. Gun ness. A letter was received this morning from his mother saying that he was about 2 years of age, has completely disappeared and that she has had no word from him In almost two years. Iti is known that young Canary worked for Henry Bizge, who lived about one-quarter of a mile from he Gunness farm. He disappeared entirely In June.. 1906. Mrs. Canary declares in her letter that the boy was not intellectually bright and says that he at one time burned an empty cot tage for the pleasure of seeing it de stroyed. It is known that he was around the Gunness place at various times. One circumstance which is considered to be against his having been killed by Mrs. Gunness Is the fact that the boy rarely had any money witn nim. About one year ago a man arrived in Laporte from some place in- the state of New York. He said that he had made arrangements to work for Mrs. Gunness and that she was going to buy a horse and buggy which he had. He has never been heard of since he went to the Gunness farm and his buggy was today identified stand ing in a shed on the Gunness place. It has been conclusively proven that the story given out by Mrs. Gunness that Jennie Olsen went to attend the Lutheran school at Fergus Fall., Minn., was laise. A letter received today from the authorities of that institution declares that Jennie Olsen was never there and they never heard of her. The threatened clash between the authorities and H. W. Worden inn at torney for Ray Lamphere over his right to see the prisoner, was averted today, Mr. Worden being admitted to the jail, where he talked with Lam phere for more than an hour. Mr. Worden strongly denied the story that any trunk had been found containing letters written by Lamphere to Mrs. Gunness and he also asserted that there was no truth tn the state, ment that Lamphere desired to con fess or that he had anything to con fess. Mr. Worden Is investigating the story that on the night of the burning or the Gunness home and a short time before it was destroyed a farmer who attempted to drive past the place was stopped and turned back by two mask ed men. The name of the farmer is not known at present. WILL NOT BUDGE PresldentRooFevelt Stands Firm on His Bights As Commander-in-Chief of Army and Navy. WRITES TO SENATORS Who Hare Called His Position lu Question. Matter Probably Will Be Taken Up at a Conference. Washington, May 9. Three mem bers of the United States senate have received letters from President Roose velt within the last few days declaring his supremacy, as commander-in-chief, in all matters referring to the control of the army and navy. The letters have created intense feeling in the senate and It is not unlikely that they will precipitate a conference of Republican members. The letters in every case are in defense of his course in discharging without honor the ne gro soldiers he believed to be guilty of shooting up the town of Browns ville, and his action in banishing Col. W. F. Stewart to an abandoned mili tary post in a desert section of Ari zona. The third letter came today to Sen ator Stewart of Vermont A. few-days ago during the debate on the Browns ville affair Senator Stewart asked question indicating that he had doubt as to the wisdom of extending to the president the power of-passing on the Innocence or guilt of ex-soldiers ap plying for reinstatement in view of, the fact that it appeared the president, still believes all the negroes have been guilty of complicity in the affray. The senator was surprised to receive from the president a letter bearing on both the Col. Stewart and the Brownsville cases. Attached to the communica tion were letters to Senator Rayner and Wm. Alden Smith, the one to Mr. Rayner asserting chiefly the presi dent's right as commander-in-chief to deal with an officer in such manner as he pleased while the one to Mr. Smith was confined to the Brownsville affair and reiterated the president's belief that he had dealt with the case as condition demanded. He declared that Senator Stewart from the question he asked in the de bate, appeared to be proceeding un der a misapprehension of the duties of the president of the United States In connection with the army and navy. He quoted the law as he un derstood it and denied that he was under any obligation to give the dis charged negro soldiers or Colonel Stewart any court of inquiry. Sev eral paragraphs were devoted to a dis cussion of Colonel Stewart's case and the faults of his ."which, brought him in disrepute in army circles. After this -discussion the- president wrote that In -every community there is found maudlin sympathy with mur-r. derers and the Thaw ease In New York is cited by him as an example. None of the senators who have re ceived letters from the White House have decided whether they will make them public. All have been asked to do so.. Senator Smith of Michigan declined on the ground that it would be improper and Senator Raynor is preparing to use the letter to him in a speech which he will make to the senate denouncing the action of the president in banishing Colonel Stewart to Fort Grant, Ariz. Senator Stewart showed to several of his colleagues the letter he received, but thus far has made no disposition of It. Sev eral senators said today that the letters would have the effect of com plicating the situation in regard to legislation in the Interest of the In nocent members of the battalion of negroes discharged on account of the Brownsville affair. There are two bills before the senate looking to that end. It is generally believed that the Republican senators will hold a. cau cus for the discussion of the entire question Including the president's letters next week. ADJOURN IN TWO WEEKS. Congressmen Begin to See Their Way Out, They Think. Washington. May 9. Strong efforts will be made to have congress adjourn not later than two weeks from today. Representative Tawney announces that the house committee on appropria tions, of which he is chairman, will begin work on the general deficiency bill today and he will try to report the measure by next Thursday. This Is the last of the big appropriation bills and it will probably go through the house without much discussion. t The public buildings bill '.will be re ported by the committee on buildings and grounds as soon as Chairman Bartholdt is sure of a right of way for it. It is conceded that this measure will be rushed through the house. A leader in the senate and an im portant member of the finance com mittee is quoted as saying that he thought congress would be able to adjourn-on May 23. The only legislation which he thought probable outside of the appropriation bills, a child labor bill for the District and possibly a rampaign publicity bill, was an emer gency currency bill. NEW HONOR FOR EVANS. California Citizens Want Him Made a Vice Admiral. San Francisco, May 9.

HE NEEDNOT PAY Oklahoma Warrant Case De cided in Snpreine Court. Ex-Treasurer Kelly Technically But Not Financially Responsible. PUTS CHECK ON ACTION No Treasurer Can Again Traffic in Warrants. Series Stockholders Win in Aetna Case. "Technically, but not financially guilty is the decision of the supreme court of Kansas in the celebrated Oklahoma warrant case against for mer State Treasurer T. T. Kelly. The supreme court scustains the decision of the Shawnee county dis trict court that Kelly can not be com pelled to pay back to the state the $7,000 which the state lost by Kelly's action In selling the 5 per cent Okla homa warrants to his friends, at face value. The court says that the state's damage was nominal, and that while Kelly had no right to sell the war rants, the only judgment which the state could get against htm would be nominal. Since the only -judgment wnicn could be secured was nominal, the court holds that it is not justified In reversing the decision of the lower court This decision, while it lets Kelly off scott free from any financial liability for his shortages as disclosed by the Haskins Sells report, will put a stop to the practise of selling Oklahoma warrants. This is considered an important vic tory for the state, for as disclosed by the pleadings In the case. Warden Haskell of the state penitentiary has been clamoring for the right to hold the Oklahoma Warrants, and sell them out for cash, just as Kelly did.' The supreme court says in Its opin ion: "It is sugested in behalf of the treas urer that as the law did not contem plate his receiving the warrants, he was chargeable with any misconduct with respect to them. But, since he did accept them, he should be held re sponsible -for their proper handling. Moreover, as no statute authorized him to seir them, his doing so was doubt less at least a technical violation of his official duty. This consideration might of itself have warranted a recovery of nominal damages, but Is not important here, for this court has decided that where a demurrer to a petition which states no ground for substantial dam ages is sustained, this court will not reverse the decision merely because the facts stated would entitle plaintiff to nominal damages." J Series Stockholders Win. s The decision of the Shawnee county district court In the" Aetna Building aihd Loan association case was affirmed today byrthe supreme court. This means that the guaranty fund of the association must be used as pro vided by the by laws of the organiza tion, for j the payment of the series stockholders, redeeming the series stock in full, and then paying the guaranty stockholders whatever may be left. The case was brought by W. R. Hogsett and others of guaranty stock, against the association and the hold ers of series stock.; The holders of guaranty stock claimed that the funds of the association were not being equitably distributed. The trial of the case proved that while the dis tribution may not have been satisfac tory to the guaranty stockholders, it was in accordance with the terms of the association by laws and must stand. Court Is Badly Divided. A rather peculiar circumstance ap pears hv one of the decisions handed down by the supreme court today. Justice Mason wrote a decision for the court, and follewed it up by writ ing a dissenting opinion in the same case. Two other justices, Burch and Porter, concurred In the dissenting opinion. It was the suit brought by Emma M. -Sewell against the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe Railway company from Wyandotte county. This was the second time this case had been before the court. The first time it was affirmed by a vote of 3 to 4 and this time it was reversed by the same vote. The husband of Mrs. Sewell was an express messenger and was killed in a wreck. It was shown at the trial that the railroad company was negli gent, but Sewell had signed a release to the express company not to hold It liable for injuries which he might re ceive. The express company had signed a release to the railroad com pany not to hold it -liable for damages to its property or employes. Four of the justices of the supreme court hold that an employe in spite of these. wav ers, maycllect damages when' negli gence is shown under a statute passed in 1901. The otr justices maintain that Mrs. Sewell was not entitled to damages', as the statute did not apply to cases of this nature where waiver had bee nsigned. The case is one where the question seems to be public policy on the one) hand and the strict reading of the law on the other. John G. Cooper Wins. The Shawnee county district court will have to grant a new trial in the famous Copper-Bower breach of promise suit. J The.supreme court to day reversed the decision of the Shawnee county district court- on the ground that improper evidence was admitted. Virginia Bower received a judgment against Joh nG. Cooper for four thousand dollars on the ground that he had promised to marry her and failed to keep his promise. The principle contention of Cooper in ask ing for a reversal was that the trial court erred In overruling objections to questions with respect to a conversa tion had "before the action was be gun between the witness and the plaintiff. Spike in Soldier Preference Law. The Kansas old soldiers' and sailors' preference law,- which says that fold sol diers'are. to have every preference in the anointments to city, county and state jobs was held good by the Kansas su preme court .today and then the court added that the appointing power had complete and full authority to determine whether the old soldier applicant was competent to fill the position. The court SATURDAY EVENING. handed down its decision in the quo war ranto suit brought by Joseph W. Xaggart, county attorney of Wyandotte county, against, Geo. K Addison, J. L. B. Eager. Larkin Norman, Alex Eagle and Robert McAlpine. The county attorney sought to oust these men from positions In the Kansas City, Kan., city halL At the time these men were appointed to their posi tions there were old soldier applicants for the places. The court in its decision held that the preference law was mandatory on all appointing officers -but it left with these officers the dtrcretioiv-ry power to determining whether the applicants were competent or not. This practically nulli fies the desired effect of the old soldier preference law. Important School Land Decision. The court denied a writ of mandamus against James M. Nation, state auditor, which was sought by J.- C. Hopper of Ness county to compel Nation o sell him a tract of school land composed of a ser ies of twenty-acre tracts, so arranged that they included a large portion of creek bot tom land. The court holds that. "In the provision of the statute requiring each legal subdivision of schol land to be ap praised separately prior to its being ex posed for sale, the phrase quoted refers to the smallest subdivision under the con gressional system of surveying, namely forty-acre tracts." Hopper paid to the county treasurer or Ness county the purchase money but the court holds that there is no machinery provided for the return of that money. THE GAS QUESTION. Position of the Company Outlined by Mr. Meagher. It's now up to. the lawyers the 25 cent rate for natural gas in Topeka. At the conference held Friday after noon between members of the council committee on gas and electric lights and James F. Meagher, attorney tor the Consumers' Heat, Light Power company, F. G. Drenning, the city at torney, and Mr. Meagher- went over the law -questions involved and then decided to take up tne matter more fullv bv mall. Mr. Meagher will brief his arguments based on decisions handed down upon questions wnicn are similar to those involved In the present controversy and send the brief to the city attorney. If the city at torney after eoing over the objections decides that the city has a good basis for securing the lower maximum rate, steps will be taken In that direction, This may mean a lawsuit. If the city attorney decides ainerenuy tne agita tion will probably De aroppea. There are just two questions up lower rates and forfeiture of the fran chise. The one plays into the hands of the other. ROMINGER PROMOTED. Made Superintendent of the Prudential With Enlarged Staff.

It was a pretty game all the way through but Topeka cinched the game in the first two innings and had the upper hand during the entire af fray so that the game lacked somewhat of Interest, Incidentally the Topeka tearn by winning climbed from fifth place to third and the chances are that the local bunch will repose among the first division teams during the re tnalnder of the season. Red Craig, Who Was Ever Smiling and Happy. Only once did the contest took dan gerous and that was near the end of the game when Joplin managed to dent the plate with one run. But this came late in the game and Craig im- A Bold Step. To overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of the more Intel ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com pounds, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.

The Topeka team is certainly going some at the present time. Cooley has a team that is sure to land either at or near the top, although during the opening series with Webb City it looked pretty dubious for the locals. Topeka seems to improve in every game and the most conservative are now prophesying that Topeka will lead the procession of pennant chasers be fore the first of June.

V TOPEKA CITY LEAGUE SCHEDULE, Boles proved a pinch hitter by putting the Spalding over Fillman's head for two bases. It was not until the eighth inning that the visitors put(on the least semb lance of dangerous contenders for the plume of victory. In the round Craig started off to the bad by walking Beck enbaugh. But even this generosity looked harmless after Wanner had fanned and Fillman had gone out via the Craig-Cooley circuit. But Sylves ter Olson, the former Topeka short stop had not been disposed of and the way he met the ball was some thing terrific. Three bases was all it was good for and Beckenbaugh scored and Olson nestled on third base wait ing for help. Reed was unable to ren der any assistance in his fly to left field as Wooley bad taken care of it and Olson died on third. There were a few features to yes terday's game in the fielding of Wooley. In the first inning he pulled off a great eaten from which Fillman suffered. Johnny had poked Texas Jeaguer I over the infield and Wooley after a fast spring intercepted the ball a few inches above the ground and then fell over and rolled a few times before he was able to retain his usual erect at titude. It was a rare stunt and WooleyJ received prolonged applause. Four oth er flies were consumed by Lige during the afternoon and none of them were particularly easy. The score: TOPEKA. Player AB. R. H.

Commenting on the many occasions when the Mets have the bases occu pied and need a hit the Oklahoma City News comments: How would .a Warren Gill or Jack Pendry smash look in some of those awful nine inn ings of nearness? Kelsey, who was not considered good enough for Topeka a year ago this spring is doing fine work behind the bat for the Mets, and Catcher- Manager McConnell is content to play the bench. Kelsey is also hitting the ball with regularity. The Joplin team must be a little off color in their hitting. In the open ing series against Springfield the Miners made 34 hits in four games or about nine to the game. They are falling below their average here. Joplin was trying to get PitcHer ThomasoB from Bartlesville to help out -.during the present season.. But Gus Alberts was not in the business for charity and wanted a snug little fortune for the little southpaw, who whitewashed the locals here a few days ago,; Roy St. John, the erratic infielder, who was in the association three sea sons ago, is now playing with the Tulsa team in the O. A. K. league. St. John helped out the locals towards the latter end of the 1905 season making his debut here at the same time with Jay Andrews. Third place looks better than the top of the second division even if two other teams can claim the honor of being tied for third. Topeka if she wins today and tomorrow will be in a fair way to start on the trip with a good standing The Cooleysox will leave Topeka to morrow night for a twelve days trip in the Missouri section of the circuit. Four games will be played at Webb City, Joplin and Springfield, the series being pulled off in the order indi cated. The sporting writers all over the circuit seem to delight in saying mean things about the Topeka team. Many have passed their opinion on the lo cal team and especially have they characterized the local team as being weak behind, the bat. But in Walter Boles Cooley seems to have found a catcher, who has all the goods right with him and in use all of the time. Despite his age Walter Is one of the most experienced catchers in the business. He steadies the pitchers well, has a good throwing arm and but few can steal on him. And he seems to be getting his batting eye. His double yesterday was a very time ly affair. Brennan is also a good catcher and has an arm that has but few equals in this association.. jack Rowan, who pitched for Leav enworth a couple of seasons ago, is now with the Dayton team in the Cen tral league. He is starting out to make a brilliant record this season as he has not allowed- a run in the last 26 in nings in which he has performed. He was sold by Leavenworth to Detroit two years ago and was turned over to the Atlanta team last season. Eddie Noyes is certainly making good at third base for the Joplin team. Ed die was originally a catcher and a pretty good one at that, but last sea son Dr. Andrews played him all over the field and he did good work. He appears to be a fixture at third for the Miners and is hitting in good shape. He Is a gentlemanly player and is one of the most popular performers to make this circuit. Tommy Hawkins, the catcher of the Miners, to say the least is a very plucky player. He has a badly crip pled leg at the present time but is game enough not to quit the game on that account. His injured leg injures his footwork and he is badly handi capped. He looks to be a pretty good catcher however. Mike Erwin is putting up a great game with the stick at Rochester, N. Y., In the Eastern league. Erwin was farmed out for the season by Detroit but if he continues to make good with the Eastern league he will probably be recalled.

In the first game of the series, the Jayhawkers took the Tigers into camp Friday afternoon, by a score of 2 to 1. Mis-' souri failed to connect with Jennings' curves when hits meant runs, while at opportune times the Jayhawkers took a fancy to Gunby's delivery. Jennings had ten strike outs to his credit, against three for Gunby. The fielding of Guqby and Jennings added bril liancy to the game and the running catch by Gibson was the sensational', feature.

Vinewood park, Topeka's beautiful little resort will open for the season of 1908 Sunday, arrayed In nature's most beautiful offering- In the way of full dress. The grass covered lawns were never greener nor the dense woods wore Inviting than they are at this time while a touch of the gorgeous in nature Is given by the wild flowers which timidly raise their heads in pro tected spots. 4 The opening has been delayed a week Jater than last season to give dame n -.pature a chance to finish her decora tive effects which were somewhat de layed by the cold spell of last week. The rains of the earner part of this week and the warm sunshine since then have completed the work com menced when winter bade farewell to the state for another 12 months. Had the opening been held a week ago as was at first planned the lagoon would have been practically, dry and the effect of the quiet little stream of water winding in and out among the big woods would have been lost. As It is now the water rushes over the am which restrains it Just before it leaves the park and the scene is com pleted and inspiring. The opening of Vinewood park each spring means the commencement of an The triumphant result of forty years of earnest effort, devoted entirely to the science of pure foods, is WHEAT FLAKE CELERY Its superiority over other Cereal Foods cannot be questioned. It is the kind of food that streno-r li ens and assists in establishing I 11 r .1 i o ncaitay acuon or trie Dowels. For mat hv Grocer 48 IF THD outdoor season of gayety and pleasure for the residents of Topeka and sur rounding towns. Thousands of people visit the pretty little park each sea son and leave, only to sing of its glories to their neighbors and friends who have been less fortunate and unable to see it in Its beauty. Every attraction that was there last year will be there this season with the single exception of the miniature rail road; which has been abandoned as raonprofltable; and many others be sides. Vinewood park will be seen at its best Sunday for each succeeding day for the remainder of the season will see it robbed of some of its nat ural beauty by those who cannot re sist the temptation to pick a sprig here or a flower there, though they well know that It detracts from the beauty of the place for future pat rons. For weeks past workmen have been busily engaged in preparing Vinewood park for its opening day and neither time nor expense has been spared In the effort to make it pleasant and at tractive. The "figure eight" has been treated to a fresh coat of paint as have most of the buildings on the grounds. Each cavorting animal which does Its part to make the carousal at tractive to the children and their par ents, has been given a coat of paint peculiar to the specimen which It is supposed to represent. The stripes on the zebra, are a little more brilliant than they will be a week later and the spots on the leopard more prominent while the manes and talis of the horses will nutter more like the real things than they will af ter they have paid their tribute to the young patrons who cannot refrain from the plucking habit. The boats have all received their new coats and pass ed through the retouching process so well understood by the painters In charge of the work. The scene this season on the open ing will differ greatly from that of last when the trees were bare or hanging full of frost bitten leaves and twigs on account of a late freeze. The grass too was withered and lacked In greenness for the same reason and there was an air of abjectness about the place which will be absent this opening day. Vinewood park has been the pride of the city since it was opened at the completion of the Vinewood line and each season has grown in popularity with those who long for a breath of fresh country air occasionally. The improved car service has done much to popularize the park and it will be better this year than It has ever been In the past. The roadbed has been greatly Im proved during the winter and block af ter block has been rock ballasted, sev eral thousand new ties have taken the place of second-hand ones which were used when the road was first built; the switching facilities have been Improv ed and everything Is in readiness to handle the crowds In the most expedi tious manner. The car schedule this season will be about the same as It was last on ordinary occasions, though a dozen cars purchased about Christ mas time will provide additional trans portation facilities whenever neces sary. Vinewood park has been a success from the view point of owner and patron ever since it was opened under the management of F. G. Kelly the present manager. Each season it has made a little money for the owner, Mr. "Wilson, who In turn has shown his appreciation of this fact by addi tional attractions for the next year Several new features have been added this year or will be shortly, and a TOPCKA DAILY CTATS 363 MILLION plan adopted which means that $1,200 worth of free tickets to the attrac tion, will be given away during the season of 1908. The dancing and skating pavillion will be in charge of Harry Steinberg again this season, while the dining room will again be handled by Mrs. E. M. Burnett who was in charge last season. Marshall's band, or at least 12 men from the band under the direction of John Marshall in person, will furnish a concert each evening, and two on Sunday, excepting Satur day and Monday evenings when the band will play in the city. A new band stand has been erected in the little sunken park Just across the lagoon and south of the carousal where ample seating capacity has been arranged. Moving pictures will be shown each evening, in the com panion lawn west of the bridge on the north side of the lagoon, the canvass being stretched on the opposite bank of the lagoon so that the view will be unobstructed by the trunks of trees. Special attractions will be had on holidays, arrangements have been completed for the appearance of Du Bell on the Fourth of July. This at traction made the hit of the season last year and consists of bicycle riding on a wire stretched nearly a hundred feet above the heads of the spectators while fireworks blaze, about the figure of the rider. It is possible that a balloon will be sent up each afternoon, though arrangements have not been com-? pleted for this attraction. A bridge has been built over the lower dam across the lagoon connecting the north and south sides of the park. Mrs. C. C. Mathews, who with her husband, managed the concessions of the Philadelphia Toboggan company two seasons ago, will have charge of these attractions again this season. This Insures courteous and gracious treatment for 'the patrons of these concessions as Colonel Mathews and Mrs. Mathews were extremely popu lar witlh the patrons of the park while in charge season before last.

Erie Road Is Said to Be in Sound Condition. Recent Crisis in Earnings Sue cessful'y Passed. CONTROLS EXPENSES. Affairs of Road Placed on Busi ness Foundation. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. In Friends of the Erie road profess to see signs that the severest strain on its income from earnings has been reached and successfully passed, and that better things are to be looked for. This hope is inspired by the fact that operating expenses appear to have been placed under control, and hence forth will be kept within reasonable distance of gross earnings. Thus far these expenses have been out of all reasonable proportion to gross, for the reason, it is said, that the Erie always has had a large pro portion of cheap freight in its total tonnage. As the expense of hauling this is almost as great as transporting first-class freight, the ratio of oper ating expenses necessarily has been high. Much of the Krie's tonnage consists of coal, coke and iron products. In Its last fiscal year considerably more than one-half of its total tonnage was composed of this low-class freight. Its total tonnage for the year was 39, 169,617, of which 8,628,049 tons was anthracite coal, 7,338,700 tons bitu minous, 2,291,282 tons coke, 2,532,445 tons iron and other ores and 1,319,540 tons stone, sand, etc., making 22,110, 016 tons on which the lowest rates only could be collected. In its last, fiscal year the Erie, after meeting all operating expenses, taxes, fixed charges, etc., reported a balance available for dividends of $5, 903, 658. At the close of February this year Its net earnings showed a decrease of $3,864,815. For February the decrease in net -was more than $500,000. Should the loss in the remaining four months be anything like as great, the road will close its year with a deficit rather than a surplus. READY TO RUN TRAINS. Missouri North Arkansas to Enter Joplin Ovcr'K. S. Joplin, Mo-May 9. Within a fc days the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad will be running trains into. Joplin, this city, being the northern terminus of the road at the present time. Trains will come in from Neo sho over the tracks of the Kansas City Southern. Announcement was made some time ago that trains would be running into Joplin by May 1, but for some reason the beginning of the service was postponed. "When the service is extended to this city the local force of the Wells, Far VmU UICS IZZX go Co. express, will probably be en larged as the shipments from the south will bring a big- volume of work to the local office of the express com pany.. The Wells-Fargo company has the exclusive express business over the new line and as much fruit is be ing shipped north the volume of business for a time will be great. The exchange of northern-bound ship ments is now made at Neosho, but when the service la extended the ex change is to be made at Joplin. Announcement is also made by the railroad company that a branch of the road is to be extended fronV Ne gro Hill, near the White river at Searcy, south to Little Rock. This ex tension will put Joplin in almost di rect communication with one of the busiest little cities of the south. OFFICIALS IN SATT TOWN. Making Arrangements for Beautifying; Santa Fe Grounds.

Commercial Club Finds Condi tions Good for Jayhawker State. St. Louis, Mo., May 9. Passenger Traffic Manager Stone of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain and General Freight Agents Githers and Wharry are accompanying the Kansas City Commercial club on itls trip through Kansas. The business men are very enthusiastic over the crop condi tions, and President Topping in a telegram addressed to Vice President Clarke,' says: "The prosperity of the country through which we are now traveling can not be estimated in ordinary language, the prospective wealth can not be computed in dol lars and cents. You are to be con gratulated on having a railroad through such a rich and prosperous country, the idle freight cars will soon begin to move and your company will then reap the reward it so richly deserves. Tour service has been most excellent and we congratulate our selves that you are a part of us." Vice President Clarke, in acknow ledging the message, wired as follows: "I thank you for your words of cheer and good will as to the prospects for prosperity of the country traversed by the Missouri Pacific lines in Kansas and Nebraska. I thank you also for your felicitous expressions of kind ness and appreciation toward our representatives. While your purpose, as expressed in your motto, is 'de signed to regulate the imagination by reality." I trust that in this instance the fruits of its realization will far surpass those that may have been pic tured In thought, and that 'the things seen as they are may unfold possibilities of profit, comfort and success to the members of the Com mercial club and their city beyond what the liveliest fancy may have eonceived."

Edward Zanditon, owner of the big department store at 612 Kansas ave nue, closed a lease this morning with the owner of the property. L. M. Craw ford, for the second and third floors of the building, which will give him an additional floor space of 5.500 square feet, makinxr the total snace occuoied by this mammoth store nearly 25,000 square reet. The Zanditon store now occupies the first floor and basement of the build ing on two 25 foot lots in the heart of the business district of Topeka, running back 150 reet to the alley These rooms from the floor of the basement to the ceiling of the Kansas avenue rooms are crowded and packed with the special offerings of the firm. I he second floor will be occupied by the cloak, suit, and millinery depart ments excepting the space which has been reserved for a rest and reception room. The third floor will be used for the sales and display department for car pets, rugs, lace curtains, upholstery and draperies. The additional space which Mr. Zanditon secures by the lease which he made this morning is badly needed as the -firm has been cramped in- its present quarters, jand needs the room badly.' r The growth of the Zanditon store in Toipeka has been one of the marvels in the commercial progress of the city and a monument to the efficacy of the modern advertising methods used by Mr. Zanditon. It also marks a wonderful transformation in the busi ness methods of the proprietor over those of four years ago when he was selling goods from a wagon on tfc' streets of Topeka. Shortly afterwards he rented a small room on Kansas avenue and within a year owned a large department store on East Sixth street, and two others In smaller towns in Kansas. The re building of the Crawford opera house after the nre 18 months ago gave Mr. Zanditon the opportunity for which he longed and the model store at that number is the result. "Topeka needs a big department store such as I will make this one," said Mr. Zanditon, "one that will be a credit alike to myself and the city. My success has been greater than I anticipated and if my business in creases during the next six months as it has during the six months that I have been at my present location I will occupy the entire building. My success is due to the advertising meth ods which I use and my ability to de liver the goods as advertised. Just keep your eye on this number and within a year you will see one of the largest department stores in the west located right here in xopeisa unaer Zanditon sign."
