Wichita, Kan., June 12 "Wee Willie" Sudhoff did not make a very good im pression with the- local fans In his In itial appearance with the Topeka team here yesterday afternoon. He was touched up pretty lively and four runs were scored In the first three Innings, after which Cooley yanked Sudhoff and substituted Forrester. The latter did good work and held the Wichita team at his mercy. In the first inning Annis doubled and went to third on Hetling's single. Hol land fanned but Brennan dropped the third strike and on his throw to catch Holland at first, Annls tallied. In the second inning Armstrong drew a walk and was sacrificed to second by Plank. uick. singled ana Armstrong trotted home. In the third Annis tripled and scored when Emory Olson missed the tnrow in rrom the outfleld. Holland doubled, stole third and scored on Arm strong's single. Topeka' s lone run came in the sixth inning. Lahdreth singled and went to second on a passed ball. Bartley s siasmng single scored Landreth.

People Will Not Pay for Seats With No Chance to Bet. Sheepshead and Brighton Beach May Be Run Off. New Tork, June 12. The news from Albany that the anti-race track gam bling bills had at last passed the sen ate and awaited only the signature of Governor Hughes to make them laws. was received wih consternation by the followers of norse racing in thel -Metropolitan district. Even up to the last moment" the prevailing opinion among the followers of the sport seemed to have been that something would hap pen to prevent the final passage of the bills. The result had been so close before and there had been passed so long a period of time between the first ana second vote that they appeared to be sure that the "whole matter had Been taken care of." Even the arrival of Senator Foelker at Albany, at the eleventh hour did not seem to disturb this feeling.and as late as when the voting began in the senate chamber there were those, who refused to believe that there was even the remotest chance of bills going through. The question which arose immediately following the announce ment of the bills was "What will be the effect on racing In the Metropoli tan district?" To those most deeply in terested this Is a momentous question indeed as the season is yet young and several of the larger and more import ant stake events of the year are still to be run. -r These include the Suburban handi cap and the historic Futurity which are looked upon as two of the most import- nt and greatest events ot tne year on the American turf. It is generally be lieved that despite the death of the Percy Grey law, racing would be con tinued, but still the decision of the race trnfir nwiwra and managers on this point was awaited with eager Interest. James B. Haggen said he thought that the death knell of horse racing in this state had been sounded.- "I think this will kill horse racing in New Tork state," he said, "and I am surprised at its passage. I don't see bow purses can now be paid." tvTvou think now, that betting will be stopped, tnat peopie x away from the tracks?" he was asked. "I certainly do. Those who fill up A who nay for seats will not go when they have no chance to get their money oacn. is a disastrous blow at racing. James R. Keene, owner of Colin and Celt and of some of the greatest Amer ican racers of former years, declined to discuss the purpose of the bills. While no official statement was made it Is believed that the Sheeps head Bay meeting and that at Brighton beach which immediately follows it will be run off as scheduled. The Sara toga meeting, however, probably will be cut down to 11 days. A final decision regarding the fall meetings is expected to be made later. Howe, Yale's New Track Captain. New Haven. Conn.. June 12. Leonard Vernon Howe, 1909, of Min neapolis, has been elected captain or the Tale track team for next year. He won the 110 meters race in the Olympic tryotit last Saturday and was awarded a place on the American Olympic team. CITY LEAGUE BASE BALL SATURDAY Santa Fe vs. Smith Auto. Skeene's Park, 3 P.M. Wagonnetts will leave Burghart's Cigar Store for the park at 1 p. m. ft western elation vgjk Gossip WHERE THEY FLAT TOMORROW. Topeka at Wichita. Enid at Springfield. Oklahoma City at Joplin. Webb City at Hutchinson. Wee Willie Sudhoff did not accom lish very much yesterday. He was touched up hard during the first three innings and gave way to Forrester. Sudhoff is not touted very highly this season although in his prime he was about the best in the business. Cooley has received notice from Dr, Shively that he will have to Play the aencn tor tnree aays. uooiey nas ai ready been out of the game about thi1 length and ought to be back in tomor row.. A change has been made- in the man agement of the Springfield Midget The veteran Dud Risley has been set adrift and Tony Vanderhlll has been placed in charge. Vanderhill's reign. however, is understood to be but tern porary and the owners of the team ar casting longing eyes in the direction of Charles Nichols as a manager. Spec Hurlburt has been signed by Manager Milton and will be given place in the Webb City outfleld. Hurl burt was released by Manager Klmmell of Enid and as soon as his suspension by Dr. Shively has expired Spec wil blay with Webb City. He is spendii'g his little vacation with friends and relatives in Topeka. Orth Collins, the promising young outfielder who played with Webb ci.y last season, has been secured from Hie Memphis team by Manager Miiton ana will play with the Tripletts, Joining them in a few days. Collins wanted to come to Topeka last fall when Herman Crow was managing the team but for some reason or other the deal fell through. "Sc'raDDv Mac." the name by' which f Harry McLear, the well known plaver of the Knld team nas always ueeii known seems to be a fitting one. A few days ago In a game at Joplin Mc- Tr talked rather naughty to the um pire and Is now spending a few days out of the game. The Joplin team seems to be coming un the ladder a little, inera is a preny .ins rnne between Webb City and Jop lin at the present time. Flllman has ortHorl a treat deal of new blood to his team and the new men are showing up well. Johnny Nee, the little infielder of tlie Webb Cltv team has Deen soia to ot. Paul in the American Association and will Join the Apostles at an early date, st Traill has been after an infleldf r ..nwo imp -First they wanted Em ory Olson, then Ragan and flnally hit upon Nee. -xne price w The last Topeka-Wichita game of the present series takes place tomorrow at 3:30 and a large Saturday crowd will no doubt be on hand at the Olympic to receive the plays Dy wire. i.. at home Sunday with Oklahoma City. It is rumored that McKune. the. .hortaton of the St. Paul team who is at outs with the St. Paul management will be secured by Webb City. How ever it would be a separate deal and not fieure in the negotiations which were Just consummated for Nee. The Oklahoma City team will be eauipped in new uniforms within a lew davs The Topeka fans will congratu late the Mets. The time the Oklahoma City team landed in Topeka two sea sons ago with green uniforms each player wearing a different shade of green, and each one being decked In a different colored pair of hose, is sUU remembered. Parson Frants, of the Enid team, Is said to be the wealthiest player in the association. The parson has always been considered pretty frugal. Charles McFarland, of last season's Oklahoma City team, will pitch for Houston, Tex., this season. McFarland is pretty long In getting started but ought to do pretty good work in the Texas -circuit. Springfield and Joplin seem to have li 1 1 1. 111 1 1 h (i m lien 1 j v in winntnar f, n a Oklahoma City team.' And even Peg Bemis, whom the Oklahoma City scribes fervently, believed to be un-. beatable has fallen from his perch. The Mets are not very far above some of the other teams and they will take a tumble soon or later. "O where is Topeka headed." '.'Going, going, going down-Topeka. Why not, What reason is there for Cooley re maining near the top anyway?" These two quotations as can be readily recognized come from the alleged dop writer of the Oklahoma City Times. The Oklahoma City team for the first time in her four seasons in Western Association baseball Is resting near the top of the ladder by a fair margin, while the season is still in its early youth. Hence the brainstorm under which the Times writer is laboring. The writer must have a little fun and the fans will bear with him for awhile. But let's watch and see' what he will be saying about the time the gruelling race is nearing its completion and soma team chasing under the wire as victor. It may be the Mets, and If it is all the papers will give the Mets credit, but in the meantime it would be a little better for the sporting writer on the Times to say nice things about Ue visiting players instead of trying 10 make the Oklahoma City public belleva that just, because a player does not- j WM rkiWr, atv ifn, h 1. thi rnhh.n vtna; Jln.n-r a thief, robber, villain .or an- escaped. convict.. For there are really some gen tlemen on all teams and even Oklahoma City has a few, but hardly enough to set them up as ideals for other teams to follow. FITZ AS AS UMPIRE. Crowd Unmercifully Guyed Him Bnt He Got $100. Portland, Ore., June 12. Bob Fltz simmons helped O'Connell umpire, taking care of base decisions, and he was fierce, if the Judgment of the crowd counts for anything. Fits was unmercifully grilled by the specta tors, of whom they were many, and he took It all without any come baclc. Fitz seemed about as much at home as a dog up a tree, and missed one third of the plays. But he got a hun dred plunks from the Portland ball club for the matinee. Suspension of Crisp and Flood. Milwaukee, Wis., June 12 Presi dent J. D. O'Brien of the American Association of Baseball clubs has an nounced the suspension of Catcher Crisp of Kansas for three days for abusive language to Umpire Bierhalter in a game at Toledo on June 8. Manager Flood of the St. Paul team was given a similar suspension for umpire baiting and unnecessarily de laying the game at Louisville, June 7, when Umpire Owens officiated. LEVCOW? PARK CHAUTAUQUA.

FULL LEASED WTRB REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and recelrea the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news la received In The State Jour nal building over wlrefl for this sole por- Generally speaking. It Is not i well for persons and things to go down. But this does not apply to floods. Evidently the people of Wichita nave plenty of money lying around loose. Another savings bank Is to be established there. Here's a bright one from the New Tork World: Mr Bryan played base ball Saturday, and the dispatches say that while he could catch he could not run. That's the way he is )n politics, too. No' wonder the consumption of meat has fallen oft generally throughout the country, the decline being variously estimated at from twenty-five to thirty per cent. The prices which meat, beef especially, has reached are well nigh prohibitive. News from the front has It that lobsters are to be plentiful this sea son. This refers to the crustacean variety. It would have been better news if It had told that the other kind of lobsters, of which there is al ways an abundance on hand, was get ting scarcer. News comes from Junction City that, during the United States army maneuvers in that vicinity this sum mer, an army column five miles long will go across eastern Kansas in a practice march. Is it a confession of ignorance to ask how broad, or wide, this column Is going to be? This Is fine. President Castro's official newspaper, published at Cara cas, printed an article recently in which the United States is called "the Cain of America which pretends to be cordial in order to disguise brutal Instincts." If Castro does not look out he might turn out to be the Abel of America. Once in a while Justice is adminis tered as it should be in Chicago. A woman was recently convicted there of. the horrible crime -of aiding in the downfall of a young girl and she has been sentenced to the penitentiary for. a term of twenty-five years. It's too bad that she could not have been sent Up for life. Many of the women who are promi nent in the society of Washington have made plans to go to Chicago and add a little distinction to- tne Repub lican national convention by their presence In the galleries of the con vention hall. It is now said to be the thing for the feminine portion of the mart set to take a decided interest in politics. Richmond Pearson Hobson has cer tainly developed into the champion pessimist and alarmist in this country. He continues to harp the opinion that the taking of the United States battle ship fleet out of the Pacific before Borne other power places one there to counterbalance that of Japan would mean a condition leading to inevitable war. There are any quantity of strange and wonderful things and people on the famous East Side of New York and. now the champion heavy-weight baby in the world is in its midst. She is an Italian girl twenty-five months old and weight 110 pounds. If the New York Tribune was not authority for this story it would surely be set down as the work of a nature faker. There's a procedure in the Russian duma which it might be well for some of the legislative bodies In this countrv to adopt. When a member of the duma gets a little too obstreperous or just a uttie dii too runny he is sus penaed ror a number of sittings. If this custom should be established in tne legislative assemblages of this land and was taken advantage of on all proper occasions, there would be many members of these bodies, and In one that sits not a thmiun ttit from the Kaw river, who would be denied the privileges of participating in their deliberations during most of tne sessions, or until they took a turn ble and learned to behave themselves "The Where of Wheat" is the new- est catch-phrase from the ingenious F. D .Coburn. secretary of the Kansas department of agriculture. It is used as the title of a vest pocket sized little folder of sixteen pages which has Just been issued by Mr. Coburn. This fold er is small only in size. On Its pages is plenty of evidence in figures and comparisons wnicn do not He that Kansas. Kansas the golden, is "the where of wheat." And on the back pare are some figures and information which are so gigantic that It is dtt flcult to appreciate them. "The wheat grown in, Kansas in twenty years ending with 1907," so readsthis back page, "amounted to 1,092,360, 595 bushels, with a farm value of 662,909,71 dollars and "Whosoever Will May Come.!" r A RUN AND A RESCUE. The baseball player who can deliber ately check his mad course while in the midst of a home run, Is worthy of, more than ordinary attention. A New Tork man was playing the fascinating game the other day on ball grounds that are near the East river. Two strikes had been called upon him, but he met the next ball squarely and drove a long fly over the left fielder's head. It was an unusually long hit and the batter started for first bade with a roar of approval to hustle his flying feet. He turned first base and was just turning second when he saw a woman topple over into the river from a nearby pier. Without checking his speed he left the base line and raced to the rlve'r. Still running he leaped into the water and held up the sinking woman who was old and quite helpless until, other hands, .could re lieve him of the burden. Then he clambered to the pier, and, after dry ing his garments by running up and down the field in the warm sunshine, went back into the game. Of course, he couldn't finish the home run; be cause the inexorable laws of, the sport declared him an "out" for, di verging too far from the base line. Possibly the fact that he received quite as much applause for the rescue as he would have received for the run he didn't make, reconciled him to some extent. 1 Here' was an' example' of the' man meeting the opportunity -half way and on the run. Thererwas'. no lack of physical courage irt this hero's make up, and as to his moral courage there can be no question. The man who' can be turned abruptly aside when making a home run on a phenomenal long hit, and -with the. tumultuous cries of "Go it!" ringing ,in his ears, certainly has moral courage of a high type. CONDEMN COLLEGE FRIVOLITY. Chancellor McCracken of the Un iversity of New York made use of the opportunity afforded by commence ment day at that institution to develop the idea that there is too much amuse ment at' American -colleges, and that it demoralizes many of the students. The subject is so controversial in character that it is only fair to repro duce the chancellor's exact words: Lord Bacon wanted students to al lot their time, one-third to sleep, one- third to meals, recreation, and pray ers, and one-third to work. Many col lege students, especially in the larger colleges, prefer to amend the third division. Their allotment would be read thus: One-third to sleep, one third to meals, recreation and prayers; meaning college prayers, when re quired, but instead of the one-third for work, substitute one-third for ath letics, college societies, college politics, with just enough attention to the de mands of the faculty to keep the name of the student on the college roll. I am not saying for a moment that any great American university tolerates idleness, dissipation, or frivolity. I am saying that even college of great repute may not succeed in preparing men to study the professions." The speaker intimated that the time spent at college by one-third of the students, especially in' the largest col leges, Is worse than wasted. This se rious charge coming from a source so fully informed and highly respected cannot be ignored. Neither can it be successfully refuted. There has been strong temptation, for the sake of building up the colleges, to make them attractive to students by other methods than improvement of facili ties for progress in formal studies. Exaggerated importance has been giv en to athletics. The social side of col lege life has been permitted to develop to an extent Inconsistent with the theory that the main purpose of at tending college Is to gain learning. There must be a reaction against friv olity in college life. THE COST OF CRIME. There's an Interesting discussion of the cost of criminals In the United States, and the way they can be made to pay back something of what they cost, in Batten's Wedge, issued by the well known advertising agents. The idea of the article is not new, but it is strongly put. According to the figures given, peni tentiary sentences in the United States reach 150,000,000 in a year. The average cost of a conviction, of detectives, po lice, courts, prosecutions, etc., is figur ed at $500 a sentence, which totals about $75,000,000 a year. Allowing for short terms, it is figured again that these 150,000 sentences a year give a constant penitentiary population of about 100,000. The cost of keeiplng the 100,000 at 75 cents a day figures $27,375. 000 a year. Without going into details, jail commitment cost is figured at $42.- 500.000, and Jail population cost at $13. 800.000 a year. On this basis the total yearly criminal cost reaches' the rather enormous figure of $188,675,000. The statement Is made that of the 100,000 constantly in state's prison, about 85,000 are ablebodied men and they are sentenced to hard labor which, as a rule, they do not ,-jet Where convicts come into competition with ordinary labor, that kind of work Is usually cut out. Thus Is mint mired the kind of labor to which con vlcts can be put from which a return can be secured. One method, however, Is open which is almost without ob jection on the score of competition, and which would be unanimously voted hard labor, work on the roads. It is not necessary to argue at length, as is done In the article, for the benefit of good roads to everybody from the irmer to tne man who drives the automobile. That is something the nuie country acknowledges todnv Supposing there is no objection to the plan, it is figured that 85,000 convicts nwus w aays m the year would put In 17,000,000 days' work on the a,i. That would make a great change in the condition of the roads. In addition, it Is figured that 16,000 men -would he. re quired to guard these convicts, whicn, during these hard times would Rive employment to people who. stand In need of it. It is further proposed that this be undertaken, not through eon tractors, but through the prison auth orities, relieving the proposition of the usual objections to ordinary contract prison labor. It may be added that this kha ot sentence would beyond doubt 'add'; a new terror to crime. A possible crim inal who had to work hard all day on the roads would be even less enam ored of a prison sentence possibility than If kept In prison and put at the usual employment given to prisoners. Nevertheless, so repugnant to almost everybody would be the sight of gangs of criminals working on the roads, so suggestive is such a sight of slavery, that it will be a long time, if ever, before public sentiment will sanction the change, however great may be Its theoretical advantage and ,however much it may lessen the cost of crime.

A physician at Leavenworth pro nounced an old soldier, who had been drinking a little too freely, to be dead. The old man took exceptions to the remark and sat up to convince the doctor that he didn't know his busi ness. In order to be out of tne ordinary Emporia comes galloping up with the story that a man living in that town was sandbagged and rendered uncon scious. When he came to his senses he found that the men who had tap ped him on the head had put a $5 bill In his pocket. Probably they felt sorry for the man because they hit him so hard. Joe Connor says his famous cow gives only seven gallons of milk per day. Her calf is seven weeks, old. When she was at her best, however, she gave ten gallons of milk a day. It is necessary now to milk her" three times a day He paid John Intfen $50 for the cow, and has refused $100. He says that the cow in seven months will probably not give more than two or three gallons of milk a day. Other cows give more steady, and give three gallons daily all the year -round. Atchison Globe. A lamentation for the "good old days" by Ancil Hatten in the West phalia Times: ':"How times have changed! When we were young, peo ple had bad colds, soaked their feet in hot water and got well. Now they have grip, take quinine and feel sick all summer. Then they had sore throat, wrapped a piece of fat pork in an old sock, tied it around the neck at night and went to work the next morning. Now they have tonsilitis, a surgical operation and two weeks in the house. Then they had stomach ache and took castor oil and recover ed. Now they have appendicitis, a week in the hospital and six feet due east and west and six. feet perpendicu lar. They worked then, they labor now. In those days they wore under clothes; now they wear lingerie. Then they went to a restaurant; now they go to a cafe. Then they broke a leg; now they fracture a limb. People went crazy then; they have a brain storm now. Politicians then paid good hard cash for support; now they send government garden seeds. Yes, times have changed, and we all change with the times. That's progression." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. J People don't fear the devil like they used to. You can get a fool to do anything by daring him to do it. The poorer the man, the louder he laughs when a rich man tells a Joke. When a man neglects a duty, he says: "I was too busy," but usually he was too lazy. Some people handle their tongues the way a foolish man handles, a gun: Every time It goes off some one is hurt. Boys have as much fun in drowning a kitten as girls have In hunting for violets. If a man lives to be thirty, and has never loved but one woman, it is be cause he has never seen more than one woman. Sometimes you meet a girl who is still a baby at fourteen or fifteen; and when you do, you have met the sweetest thing on earth. When a man gets mad. there is only one woman in the world, besides his wife, who knows how mad he can get, and that is the telephone girl. It takes a man to go home and grumble because dinner is not ready, and then get interested in a newspa per and keep dinner watting until it is cold. Every man. who dreams of, seeing things that try to run In his sleep, is receiving warnings that there is something on his bill of fare that should be cut off. People often say to a boy when he eats between meals: "It will spoil your dinner!" But, piecing between meals never spoils your dinner until after you pass 40. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Most of the people of Emporia. re garded it as a settled thing that the town was to have a meat and milk in spector, and they were glad of It; for recent occurrences had shown that meat which is unfit for human con sumption might be-, Offered 'for sale with Impunity, unless "chance lnteri venes.i- It now appears that some inspired local statesmen have-- come to the conclusion that the inspection of meat would be a worthless extravagance. They argue that the chief danger to the public lies in impure milk, which is not cooked before being devoured. Thus the germs are. consumed alive, and they at once begin to prey npon the consumer's vitals, causing him to die in frightful agonies. The germs In meat, on the other band, are destroyed when the meat is cooked and do no harm, but may be considered nutritious. It would be interesting to know where those statesmen obtained their profound scientific knowledge touching germs and microbes. Warnings have often been issued "by real savants to the ef fect that in order to destroy many of the germs which infest meat, it is nec essary to cook the meat almost to a cinder. It is almost Impossible to des troy trichinae, for instance, by cooking. Even If the pestiferous germs were really made innocuous by cooking, it would make no difference in this case. People who. pay their good money for meat want clean, wholesome meat; when they' want germs they will go to a laboratory, for them. So long as "the town has no official authorized to inspect slaughter houses, meat shops, and animals marked for the butcher, -it will be possible-for peo ple to kill. and sell the carcasses of wounded, crippled, ancient or diseased beasts, and hundreds of such critters, rejected by the packing house buyers, are believed to find their way to the butcher's block in country towns. The Inspection of milk is necessary and good, but it is only a half-way measure, and the" people of Emporia will be justly indignant if provision is not made -for the proper inspection of meat. Emporia Gazette.. A DIFFERENCE DUE TO THE PRIMARY. With a repetition of the political con ditions that existed two years ago, Leavenworth, county would now be In the heat of a political conflict, and there Would "be", much manipulating and dickering for advantage and for the support of the political leaders. The op eration of the primary law has changed all that. Candidates for office realize that it is the people and not the poli ticians with whom they have to deal, and there is accordingly an almost en tire absence of the old servility and the gumshoe and pussyfoot tactics. The man who expects to win an office must know that it is his personal qualifica tions and his political principles which are going to have an effect upon the people and to wilt votes, and he "will have to go before them clean-handed. It is just such political experiences as we are having at present that convince us more strongly than ever of the wis dom of the direct primary law. Leav enworth Times. FROM "OTHER PENS "FORESTRY". AND FINANCE, v As a result largely of the rise in the level of moral sentiment in corpor ate, business and public relations, there has been a remarkable thinning out of tall timber in the forest of prominent characters in this commun ity. One can easily count a score or more of the names of men who stood in the first i-ank of public attention when the Armstrong committee be gan Its work with the first public hearing September 6, 1905. Mean while there has been a vast amount of investigation, legislation- and litiga tion. The public attitude toward busi ness responsibilities has become more critical and the measure of public control over corporate enterprise has been materially enlarged. As a part of this transformation many of the older personages who had made ca reers for themselves have practically disappeared from the field. The change has made room for younger growths, and the end of displacement is not yet. To follow the analogy of the forest, when the monarchs of ancient growth lose their footing by decay or are blown down -by storms, they leave a large place in the timbered district into which the sunlight pours its nu tritive powers for the" stimulation of the younger timber which the giants of the woods have long overshadowed. This ia what has been taking place In the management of large financial, commercial and industrial institutions. With a couple of years or so an old order of things has passed away and with it a new era ot more critical standards of business Integrity has begun. More light has been let In J from the top. It has called for a type of leadership which is more respon sive to the demand of the age tor cleaner business methods. Wall Street Journal. A POTATO DREAM. When one spits open a nice baked potato baked all through wisely and kindlv. so that it looks like a section of newly fallen snow, and melts into a copious lump of butter, and lets his thoughts rollick with the joy of a big bite of it he wonders why Luther Burbank is spending his time trying to make the potato better than it is. But that is what he is doing, and now he has 10,000 hybrids of his own cul ture that he Is comparing ana testing, in order to get the very best to breed from. He think -the Irish potato should be a little sweeter than it is, not only for taste, but for health, and to this end he is working. He nas suc ceeded in getting a potato quite" as sweet as the sweet potato, but that is sweeter than he wants it, so .he' is breeding that back to a milder quality. In this effort he has tried to get an Irish potato from its native haunts, away up in the summits of the Andes, where Jealous wild men dwell and won't let white people come, and so he has to wrestle with cross purposes, and the indications are that before he is through he will be the originator of another Burbank potato, that will far exceed the achievement of his youth ful dreams. It is interesting to note that in his efforts to arrive at some thing new In the potato line he has developed a new vegetable altogether. The apparent consanguinity of the po tato and the tomato led him to en courage an alliance between them, so he grafted a potato vine on a tomato root and succeeded in raising a new vegetable an air-grown potato, small and fantastic in shape, but tasty and nutritious. He is still pushing that vegetable or fruit, and who knows but that some day the true Burbanx po tato, highly sublimated, will be garn ered from the air, as one picks peaches. Ohio State Journal.

Jackson left his mark on all that lie touched. With his advent; a new regime was inaugurated. Its com ing was accompanied by new methods. The presidents who preceded him were educated, polished statesmen. They were of the aristocracy. When their aspirations for the presidency were voiced in stately fashion by friends, a measure of dignified de corum was observed in the spoken or printed expression of hopes and claims. Campaigning in the modern sense was 'unknown. Conventions had no existence. Platforms declaring the principles and policies to which the candidate pledged himself had not yet been formulated. Political cartoons, caricatures, great mass meetings, transparencies, parades,, brass bands, campaign songs and buttons these played no part In the election of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madi son, Monroe. They were lacking In even the cam paign of 1842, when Jackson was first a candidate, though the house of representatives defeated the popular will .which .had. named him as its choice by selecting John Quincy Adams to fill the presidential office. But In the campaign of 1828 the general who had done things differ ently "at the battle of New Orleans seems to have, stimulated In men who advocated or opposed him a desire to follow new methods. Jackson's first successful campaign In 1828 was opened by a celebration of his famous battle in the city of New Orleans. Hero of the battle and presidential candidate, he attended as the guest of the state. On his way from his home, he was entertained ajt Natchez. A procession, a banquet, and a ball kept him as busy as is Taft these later days. A fleet of steamers was sent from New. Orleans to meet him. A throng greeted him when he landed. Four days of festivity, news of which stirred the people through out the land, followed. This was the beginning! With his campaign for re-election, modern methods were fairly established.

Hallock, of Colum bia university, told the members of the Chemists' club last night about a new discovery whereby It Would be possible for a householder to purchase a bottle of illuminating gas on his way home without leaving a $5 deposit. The illuminant may be bought by the pound, at la cents or so. when some body starts In to manufacture it. As yet its manufacture, has not been un dertaken in this country. It has been used in Germany, where It was discov ered by Prof. Blau. After him it is named Blaugas. Prof. Hallock had a Jar of it at the Chemists' club and showed Its power of illumination. The gas leaves the jar through a tube about the size of a telegraph wire. The other end of the tube connects with the burner. The great advantage attribu ted to the new illuminant is Its inox pensiveness. A 22 pound cylinder at IS cents a pound would give a 50 candle power light for four months at four hours a day. rxew lore ssun. A Superstitious Landlord. The limit of superstition has bjen reached by Landlord Miller, of the Johnston hotel in this city. For years this hostelry has been known as the Johnston hotel. Yesterday a new elec tric sign appeared in front with the words: "Johnson Hotel." Many thought a mistake had been made and rushed to Miller, but he informed them that no mistake had been made; that he had changed the name from "Johnston Hotel to "Johnson Hotel" because there are 13 letters in the first name. Miller says many traveling men had noted the fact, and that as a result they refused to stay at the hous?. Miller also changed room No. 23 to parlor A. He says drummers are as superstitious regarding room 23 as they are of room 13. Locansport Dispatch to Indianapolis News. Tho Mathematical Mind.

He finally chose the man who was most skillful at untangling arithmeti cal problems.

Travis, who had been twirling a light chair, hastily set it down on all four gs.- This was not .that he feared the hoodoo, but the consternation on Lettys face Indicated her discomfort. And to make Letty unhappy was far- mesi irom nis thoughts. "Ml set It down." shrieked Lettv. You must turn the chair the other way until you wind the bad luck again." Dutifully Travis "wound nn" his evil fortune and turned to the girl. Look here. Letty" he tileaded. "let's forget signs for a minute and get down to something more interesting than su perstitions. You told me last Friday that I -might have my answer today." Lieiiy-s race colored sottiy. "It's such bad luck to nroDose on Fri day!" -she asserted solemnly. "So1 it seems." agreed Travis, "as It has kept me in suspense since then. You know that I love you, dear, and that it has always been my great wish to win you for my wife. Is the an swer 'yes,' Letty V Travis, looking Into the half-veiled eyes, could read therein the struggle the girl was having with her own heart and then the gradual submission of her shyness to her love. He could almost see the formation of the word that would bring to him the happiness he sought, when with a little cry of terror Letty sprang to her feet, her eyes di lated with tears and her hand pressed against the heart that beat so rapidly. Can t you hear it, JlmT she cried. 'Hear what?" Travis strained his ears for some time, yet nothing save the faint flare of brass instruments could he hear. "It's a funeral." exclaimed Letty.' a military funeral, and they are playing aeaa marcn. "You would scarcely expect them to play a waltz," reminded Travis. "Dead marches are written for funerals, you now..' "But think of the omen," persisted Letty. "Jim. If I should say 'yes one of us would die before the wedding.' "It's awfully kind of you to save my life," said Travis with a smile that fouifd no reflection in his heart. "It's really good of you, Letty, but I'm per fectly willing to take chances,- "I am not," was tne answer, in aeaa ened tones. "Don't you realise what a bad omen it is. Jim?" "It certainly is a bad omen if it means that you will not marry me Just because a funeral procession happens to be passing down -the next street, agreed Travis. He did not argue. Letty was adorable hut she was wedded to a belief in signs and it now looked as if his avowal of love had been rendered fruitless by the funeral procession at the very instant when he had read his triumph in her eyes. Letty loved him that he knew but it was useless to argue when she was so obsessed by the fear of the omen. It was two weeks before Travis re newed his suit. In the interval he had come and gone as usual. He and Letty had been to the theater and driving, but not a word had Travis breathed of the sublect that was nearest to nis heart. He found the girl that Friday after noon, sitting pensively in the window seat. The sof t breeze from the south blew into the room the fragrance of the blossoms and the mellow sunlight glinted on the velvety green of the growing verdure. It was an ideal day and Letty responded sensitively to the promise of new life. Almost before she knew that he had entered, Travis had reached her side, and had taken her hand in his strong grasp. "I'm going to make one last effort to win mv happiness. Letty," he said sort' ly. "I have tried to accept your dictum but I cannot see the value of your superstitions. Won't you reconsider. dear?" Letty's face matched the tints of the pink and white apple blossoms she had pinned in her blouse, as with half averted head she sought to combat her superstitious fears. From the next room came the rasp- tnar sounds of a phonograph, and the record was "When We Are Married." It had been Letty's favorite the old davs. and her eyes brightened as the familiar strains were borne in upon consciousness. When to this' was added, a second sign as an Itinerant band struck up the wedding march from "Lohengrin," her doubts were fully dispelled. With a little cry of gladness she-held out her hands to Travis, who caught them in his own. A few minutes later a determined tapping at the door roused them from their dream of bliss. Letty's brother Bob stuck his tousled head Inside the door. "I say. Mr. Travis," he began diffi dently, "you couldn't let me have that quarter now, could you? The boys are going down to the store to get the baseball uniforms, and if I had that quarter I could go with them." "Mr. Travis does not owe you a quar ter," said Letty sharply. "If you want money ask mother for it." "Sure he owes me a quarter," main tained Bob stoutly. "I was comin down the street an' he -told me if I'd put that old record in the phonograph and start it up pretty soon after he came in he'd give me a quarter. .He was talking to the bandman on the corner "The bandman? And he told you-to do that?" asked Letty with Interest. Bob nodded as he received a coin from Travis and then he vanished from the room. "Since you must have a sign I made my own," explained Travis, anxiously searching her face. "And I'm glad you did," said Letty simply, her face still aglow with happi ness.

Miss Walter has made a concert tour under the management of one of the leading lyceum bureaus, and her work drew forth very flatter ing criticisms from the press. This is one of them: "The absolute hush and breathless quietness which fell upon the audience every time that she appeared always followed by a storm of applause, were testimonies enough for almost any one." Mr. C. P. Chapman, who sings the part of King Ahasuerus, is an addi tion to the musical talent or ropeKa made in the last year. He was brought up in Wamego.

Much is expected of him, and it is certain there will be no dis appointment in the way he performs the part.

Governor Hoch today commuted the sentence of William Blalock of Chero kee county to expire tomorrow morn ing. Blalock is serving a life sentence for complicity in the murder of David Gordon at Columbus in May, 18S8. He probably has the most remarkable prison record of any man in the Kan sas penitentiary. He has been confined there since May 15, 1888, twenty years and nearly a month and not once has he broken a prison rule. There is not a demerit mark against him at any point. William Blalock and his brother John were sentenced at the same time under a plea of guilty of murder in the sec ond degree. Both received life sen tences. John Blalock died in prison in 1899. John Blalock was the actual murderer. He always maintained tha t his brother had nothing to do with the murder except that he knew about it. John Blalock fired the shot that killed Gordon but the brother was close by when it all happened. Both were ar rested for the crime and both pleaded guilty to the same charge. The brothers claimed that Gordon, who was a constable at Columbus was doing entirely too much prowling around tne -Blalock: home. Gordon seemed to have an idea that the Bla locks were into some sort of conspiracy with others to cause trouble among the miners ana he was watching them. Petitions signed by hundreds and let ters by the dozen have been sent to the governor in the case. The application for the pardon is the most complete Governor Hoch has ever had before him.

This Action of Court Postpones His Execution Indefinitely. WAS TO HAIfG TODAY Remarkable Efforts in Interest of Condemned Man Led by a Priest Rescued Him from Death. Chicago, June 12. Herman Billik, the Bohemian fortune teller, con demned to death for the murder of Ave members of the Vrzal family, was today granted a stay of execu tion until he has been afforded an opportunity to appeal his base to the supreme court. Judge Landis of the United States dis trict court, who yesterday de clined to grant a writ of habeas corpus in favor of Billik, today de cided that the prisoner had the right to appeal from his decision denying the writ. The case will now be "car ried to the higher federal tribunal and Billik will be given a respite until that body has passed upon the constitu tional question involved. Although it had been agreed between Judg;e Landis of the federal court, and the sheriff of Cook county, that the execution of Herman Billik. the Bn- hemian fortune teller, should not take place until after the court had passu-d on the right of Billik to an appeal from the decision of Judge Landis in refus ing a writ of habeas corpus, a tremend ous crowd gathered around the jail at an early hour. A detail of policemen was constantly employed in keeping the throng moving. An old woman who reached the jail shortly after o'clock, created a dis turbance by pounding on the door and crying to the police that the authori ties were about to hang an innocent man. She was taken away but con tinually returned and pounded on the jail door. She was followed about by a large crowd. Finally It was found nec essary to take her into custody. It is believed that she is Insane. Story of the Crime. Herman Billik, a fortune teller, was tried and convicted of poisoning to death Mary Vrzal, 22 years of age, and was accused ot similarly causing tne death of five other members of the Vrzal family. Mrs. Rose Vrzal, the mother of Mary Vrzal, committed sui cide when she was arrested as an ac complice of Billik. The deaths in the Vrzal family all occurred within a period of two years. The testimony at the trial which was held before Judge A. G. Barnes, showed that Billik went to the Vrzal residence with his alleged charms and that the remarkable series of deaths followed. The alleged motive was life Insurance money in each case, the amount vary ing from $100 to $625. As a result of the trial Billik's punishment was fixed at death. Since then he has been with in the shadow ot the gallows, besides today, the first day for the hanging had been fixed as October 11, 1907, and the other dates November 8, 1907, and April 29, 1908. The postponements In each case were to permit further in vestigation, it having been charged that Billik's conviction was the result of perjured testimony due to suggestion and intimidation on the part of prose cuting attorneys and police. This charge was made through the pulpit of St. Mary's church by the Rev. P. J. O'Cal laghan, superior of the Paulist fathers, in this city. Principally through the efforts of Father O'Callaghan, an affidavit was recently made by one of the principal witnesses against Billik, Jerry vrzal. 18 years old, a survivor of the Vrzal family, that testimony against Billik by the aant was wholly untrue. Six of the twelve jurors who tried Billik have since gone on record to the ef fect that they would not have found Billik guilty out lor the testimony or Jerry Vrzal. Refusal of a hearing by the su preme court and the refusal by the state board of pardons to interfere and the refusal of a writ of habeas corpus by Federal Judge Landis, were among the last phases of the struggle to save Billik's life. A series of re markable mass meetings were held yesterday addressed by Father O'Cal laghan. Jerry Vrzal and Edna Biuik, the fortune teller's little daughter, .who has been a pathetic figure in the case. The mass meetings resulted In a midnight appeal to Governor Deneen by a volunteer delegation who paid their own fares to Springfield in the hope that a personal talk with the governor might prove effective In at least obtaining a commutation for Bil lik to life imprisonment. Had a Narrow Escape. When Judge Landis opened court today he said to the attorneys for the state: Attorneys for the state: "I desire the state to Inform the sheriff not to execute the sentence until he has heard from this court."? "We have already notified the sheriff to that effect," said the assist ant state's attorney.. Counsel for Billik yesterday asked- ror a writ of habeas corpus on the -grounds that the prisoner was -not asked by the court before being sentenced to death whether he had anything to say. On this ground, Judge' Landis refused to issue either the writ, or an order of appeal from that refusal, but set the arguments bearing upon the right of the prisoner to appeal from his ruling for 11 o'clock today. After listening to these Judge Landis decided that he had not the discretion to deny the application for an appeal to the supreme court. He therefore issued an order granting a delay until the matter could be passed upon at Washington. The ruling caused intense delight among the friends of Billik, many of whom believe that the proof against him is not absolutely conclusive. The fight to save his life as it had been conducted thus far has been one of the most strenuous and energetic ever witnessed in this city in a similar case. The hour set for Billik's execution was 11 o'clock and Billik, who nowi has an indefinite lease of life pending the decision of his appeal, would have been hanged instantly had the judge declined to grant the order. A tremendous demonstration was made by the crowd outside the jail when it was announced that Judge Landis had granted an appeal to the supreme covxt. The uproar on the outside conveyed the news to the prisoners In the jail of all whom re cently signed a petition to the gover- Men Let Everything Else Go And Come to this Sale Saturday-Promptly at 8 O'Clock The like of this Sale man never beheld before.

Constipation Ruins Health You can't be constipated and healthy. Constipation is the arch enemy of health. It causes more sickness than any other condition. It is the fore runner of appendicitis, blood diseases, skin diseases; it makes you more quickly liable to colds, malaria, pneumonia and fever diseases. It is far from the trifling ill that many unthinking people believe it is. One often hears the expression, "I'd be all right if it wasn't for my stomach." Most assuredly. The majority of mankind would be in nearly perfect health if it wasn't for constipation or dyspepsia. But knowing its dangers the thing of next importance is to fight it. The greatest foe of constipation is Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. It was designed for that very purpose. Thousands of individuals and families are using it to fight the ailments of the stomach, liver and bowels. The cures it has made prove it to be a wonderful remedy in constipation even of the most obstinate nature, and every constipated person should use it and know from personal experience what it will do. Cured by Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin I received a gun shot wound In M while in the army which caused a partial ?arolysls of the bowels and from that time to the present I have had to use a laxative, have tried a great many kinds of medicines In that time but have never found any as effective or that has been as ntar natural as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

Stomach Trouble, Kidney Trouble and Constipation had almost worn my life out. I tried every remedy on the market. The best skilled physicians all over the coun try treated me. Thousands of dollars I had paid out for treatment. My money was gone and my diet was raw eggs and crackers and milk. I could do no labor, was poor, hag gard and weak, but at last the remedy was found. Often I would tell our druggist about my trouble. He would always tell me, "Take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.'' At last I told him I would trust to him, so I commenced on Syrup Pepsin. Today I weigh more, feel better, and can do more work than I have for at teen years. Patrick Green. Aivin, 111.

Mr. Funston feels that he will be unable to make the canvass of the two counties In a proper manner and to do credit to his friends and to himself. Mr. Funston stated "that he is well aware that politics and farming do not go very well together, under very favorable conditions, but when the weather is unfavorable for farming operations and farm work is away be hind, he hardly feels justified in de serting his crop."

(Continued from Page One.) ruined over here. A man talked that way to me today and I asked him ta set a price on his property. He asked $1,600 for It. It never was worth $1,500 if there never had been a flood on the iNOrth side." W. H. Rutter "I had to move every piece or rurniture out of this big dou ble room. Some of it I had hauled across the river, but the bulk of It moved up stairs, but I will be ready for Dusiness this evening. I had to both clean and dry the rooms before bring ing back the furniture. Last flood I had most of my furniture ruined, out I am not hurt a particle this year ex cept in expense of moving and loss of business. If the flood will let me alone for another four years I will be satis fled. Of course I am going to stay here. There will be plenty of busi ness." J. W. Knoll He had had a great deal of trouble in moving his wall paper and rearranging all his delicate stock, but was not all disheartened. He talked very sensibly of the situation as fol lows: "The people will ail come back here In a few weeks. Rents are much cheaper here than on the South side. The people here can afford to move, every few years and still save money on the rent proposition. It Is very hard on those who lived In cottages." Morns Myers These grocers were cheerful and doing a big business. Mr. Morns said he expected to buy heavier than ever for the summer trade. He appeared very cheerful. "The peopie will come back," he said. D. T. Gabriel Co. Their lumber yard on Falrchild street was flooded by over four feet of water and the mud was still soft and deep In the yard, but they were cleaning It out and washing the lumber. They were un dismayed by the flood. W. E. Scotten The people will come back all of them, and if they don't others will come in their places. North Topeka has its advantages even if the Kaw does run through her streets once in awhile. C. F. Bridge This real estate dealer Is located in the building on the corner of the plaza at the Junc tion of Gordon street and Central avenue with Kansas avenue. He had four feet of water on his floor at the crest of the flood, but was cleaned up and open for business. He was not at all disheartened. but rather optimistic over the future. He did not expect property values to tum ble because of the second flood. Carries the Mail. Ch'as. Swearengen He is the mail carrier for the North Side and no one is In better position than he to know how the people feel at this time. He said- "I carried mail today on Qulncy Kansas avenue and Jackson street and I found the merchants, al most without exception, cheerful and busv getting back In shape after the! flood. In the residence districts I heard women singing as they mopped out their houses. They all had a cheerful word for me and were in clined to joke about the high water. One woman declared that she was merely doing her spring house clean ing and the flood had helped her. This flood means more two-story houses in North Topeka. The people living In the cottages were the suf Those In two story house. moved their stuff upstairs and down ..in md that was an. xuj wUl lost have to clean up. That is not very much damage for a flood. C. F. Adams His meat market Is located -on Gordon and the avenue and he had plenty of water, but he was the most cheerful and the gamest man in this section of the state. He is one of the old guard of the flood of 1903. He said: "I am feeling an right. Why not? The flood has come and gone and it did little damage. am open for business. I had an offer for my residence property two weeks ago and turned it down. 1 would turn down the same offer today. Say you ought to have seen the other flood. I was one of the first to open up afterwards. I laid out a counter under a tree and sold sandwiches and lemonade. The sandwiches were made of dried beef, and the more they ate of them the more lemonade they would drink. It was great busi ness." The butcher was still laughing over his story when the reporter left him. H. H. Bair The book store man is In Philadelphia, and has been there for a week. His daughter is holding the fort for him. She had the store cleaned up and laughed when she talked of the flood. D. M. Clime Son The younger member of this hardware Arm pointed with pride to the neat and clean ap pearance of his store so soon after the flood. "This is a good trading point,' he said, "and. we shall stay right here. There is no use to get discouraged about a little thing like this. It was better than I expected last Monday afternoon." The elder Clime pointed to a sign in his front window and said it expressed his feelings over the flood. The sign read: 'Keep Smiling." Mr. Clime stated that he had been of fered a good farm near a county seat for his hardware stock a snort lime ago. I would turn down tne same offer today." he said. Clav Bowen Was remodeling his store room at the corner of Laurent and Gordon when the flood stopped the work. He had resumed and had a force of carpenters at work again. He is planning to put in a handsome and modern plate glass front in tnis large store room. Keep a Stiff Vpper Lip. A. W. Lacev. druggist "Keep a stiff upper lip and go ahead. That is the only thing to do. Yes, that's what I am doing. We are getting used to floods and act like veteran troops in a battle. Of course it hurt, but we win soon get over it. New Era Dry Goods Store This store had harder work than anybody in getting back In shape after the flood. There was so much to do to get all the thousand and one things back on display. The only damage was caused bv a broken staging which let a load of dry goods down into the flood in the store room. Mrs. Frank Greer, wife of the proprietor, was on duty. She said: "i am not a pit dis couraged. We had our house papered with imported paper a few days ago and all of that is ruined, and the work of getting the store back in shape is tremendous, as you can see for your self. Still we will be going lull blast by Saturdav. we expect to sen ore an our present stock and then buy larger than we ever did before since we have been In business here." J H. Howard, jeweier ne naa a little store room and his fixtures were all Jammed up in there, but he was only waiting for the room to dry out thoroughly before placing his goods on display again. He was not par ticularly cheerful, but he was full of grim determination to go ahead and forget an aooui me nwu. Citizen s nan nciwnra B"" business since reopening and tney were cheerful in there. Ed Gresser, the cashier, said: "I believe all our people will tome back again. I talked to a man today who had been held up by a South side landlord, and he de clared that while he had intended to move over there, he. would see that landlord In a hotter place than Kan sas before he would do It now. The man I talked to had rented a house at a $5 per month advance on the rent asked a month ago. Our people will not stand this. They will all come; back." And so the story was told, all down the line. At the corner of Gordon and Jackson streets the children, girls and boys, were wading and playing In the water in the street and their parents worked in the houses. These people all talked alike. Scores of them were interviewed in the residence districts and the story was the same. They were going back home to live. The damage was pretty bad, but It could be repaired. There was only one way to look at the situation and that was to stare it In the face. Get busy and keep busy. Forget it. But no mere written story can ever tell Just how bravely and hopefully ana cheerfullv the North Topeka people went back to their homes and stores after the flood. NEW COURT TO OPEN.
