V BIG CONVENTION AT HAND Tom orrow Delegates From Erery State and Territory Will Be Called Together to Nom inate a President. TAFT MEN CONFIDENT. The Allies Are Still Putting Up a Bold Front. Senator Burrows of Michigan to Make "Keynote" Speech. MAY LAST FIVE DAYS. Contests Are Expected to Cause Considerable Delay. Vice Presidency and Platform Subject of Much Discussion. Chicago, June 15. The convention to name a new Republican candidate for president of the United States is at hand. The gathering in the big coli seum on Wabash avenue made up of representatives from every state and territory in the union as well as the more recently acquired island posses sions will be called to order tomorrow at noon by Harry S. New, chairman of the Republican national committee who will introduce Senator Julius Ceasar Burrows of Michigan, as tem porary chairman. In assuming the gavel during the temporary period of the convention's existence. Senator Burrows will make an extended speech designed to embody the keynote of the coming notable campaign and to pro claim the principles and achievements of the Republican party during its many years of existence. When his speech has been finished, Senator Bur rows will announce the important com mittees, including that on credentials and the convention will adjourn until such time as the latter committee is ready to report. yhere Is considerable discussion as to the length of the convention, some of the leaders holding to the original esti mate of five days in which to conclude all of the work to come before the del egates and others more optimistic de claring that three days should see tha end of all deliberations and the depart ure of the representatives for home. It Is thought that the credential, com mittee will not be able to announce the permanent roll call before Thurs day at the very earliest, and if the "allies" opposed to Secretary Taft in sist upon their announced detemina tion in presenting at least 150 of the original 229 contested delegate cases to the committee there is likelihood that permanent organization may be defer red until Friday, the 19th. So far as possible the contests will be passed upon In bulk, as was found expeditious in the national committee and the cre dentials committee will sit until late Tuesday and Wednesday nights to complete its labors. Just as soon as the permanent list of delegates is concluded, nominations for president will be in order. The managers of the Taft campaign pro fess to have not the slightest doubt as to the result of the first ballot and declare they have no apprehension as to the action of the credentials commit tee upon the contested delegations. "Allies" Still Brave. The "allies," however, continue to maintain a bold front, and declare that not until the first ballot is ended, will thev admit defeat. The second day of the convention nerlnd.' Wednesday the 17th. will be given over as usual, to parades of the vlsitinsr delegates and marching clubs. This is Intended to make interesting the idle hours for most of the delegates nVillfl the credentials committee is nasstnar uDon the merits of contested cases and drawing up its report. The failure of a number of the old time Renublican marching clubs to come on to the present convention is a disap pointment to those who look for color and excitement in national political gatherings. Additional clubs and dele eates arriving today have given l somewhat belated aspect of gaiety to the convention city. A call or citi zens, merchants and householders to decorate in honor of the Republican visitors has resulted In the display of many additional flags and yards of patriotic bunting and with the formal opening and thronging of state head quarters, there was every indication to day that the time of assembling of the history-making convention had arrived. Practically all of the state delega tions are to hold caucuses today to name their representatives on various convention committees including cre dentials, rules and order oi business, permanent organization, resolutions, vice president, to notify presidential and vice presidential candidates, to choose a member of the national com- mittee and to select a chairman and secretary of each- delegation. Tenta tive selections already have been made by many of the states, but these re mained to be ratified today after the delegates had arrived on the ground and bad taken account of all the ex isting conditions. Platform Building. Platform building and the welding of opinion as to the most available of the vice presidential candidates to be put in nomination for selection by the votes of the delegates In open conven tion also are occupying the directing influences of the various state delega tions today. The situation as to the vice presidency continues quite re markable in its aspects of complete uncertainty and the lack of definite in formation or decision, la serving to en courage the managers of the various candidates that have been openly ad vanced or widely Intimated. Senator Dolllvar of Iowa, Representative Jas. S. Sherman of New York, Vice Presi dent Fairbanks and former Governor Franklin Murphy of New Jersey, con tinue to be the more generally discuss ed vice presidency possibilities. There still remains an undercurrent of opin ion that an attempt will be made to nominate Governor Charles H. Hughes of New Tork for second place on the ticket with Taft, but it is also general ly understood that General Stewart L. Woodford, spokesman for Governor Hughes, and who will nominate the executive of the Empire state for the presidency, is prepared to announce that under no circumstances will Gov ernor Hughes either accept the nomi nation or qualify for office in the event of election. The proposed anti-injunction ana tariff revision planks in the platform to be adopted by the convention con tinue to attract attention and discus sion among the party leaders and are said to be the only points upon which any issue may be raised. Speaker Cannon, one of the candidates for the presidential nomination, came hur riedly to the city from his home In Danville, 111., late last night an today is scheduled for a conference with Senator Hopkins of Illinois, who is slated for chairman of the resolutions or the platform committee, if the Taft people are successful in their plan for organizing the convention. Mr. Can non is said to be opposed to the anti injunction plank in the form generally accepted as drafted. As to tariff re vision, Mr. Cannon has already had imnnrtart conferences since bis ar rival with Representatives Payne of New York and Dalzell of Pennsyl vania, two of his most important lieu tenants in the lower house of con gress. No Roosevelt Letter. Rumors that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who is to be the per manent chairman of the convention, is in possession of a letter from presi dent Rosevelt, intended as a damper upon any "third term" movement that may be attempted are definitely denied by Senator Lodge himself. The report Is believed to have erown out of the J fact that President Roosevelt wrote a letter some little time ago to united States Judge Dayton of West Virginia, when it was intimated that Delegates C. F. Teter and George W. Curtin of that state intended a possible disre gard of their instructions for Secretary Taft and a bolt to Roosevelt. The writing of this letter was referred to at the time in Associated Press dis patches and it is said that several copies are in Chicago, one being in the possession of Senator Lodge. It is generally believed that the letter will not be read in convention as suggest ed, for it is thought by the president and the leaders here that the occasion for its use will not arise. While it is said the latter does not contain a defi nite repetition of President Roose velt's refusal to be a candidate to suc ceed himself, it is a strong expression of his feeling that the violation of in structions on the part of -delegates would be highly improper and con tains the statement that no friend of his would further any movement in favor of a third term. The Blaine club of Cincinnati, 300 strong, arrived this morning and aroused no little enthusiasm as they marched from the depot to their hotel. Mr.! Charles P. Taft met them. and Joined !rr the parade: The club members made a soectacu lar appearance with' their 'white .tan hats, black cutaway coats., red ties, red carnations gray trousers 'and gold headed canes. The marching was of the best thus far displayed by any of the political clubs. The club paraded up and down Michi gan avenue and then returned to their hotel for" breakfast.' Later in the day the Ohio headquarters was thronged with the "white hatters" as they were soon called, while their salute of pound ing the floor with their canes when ever Ohio's favorite candidate was mentioned sounded like subcalibre practice on a battleship. THIRD TERM BOOMERS. Roosevelt Stampede Being Planned by a Number of Delegates to Chicago. Chicago, June 15. A small meeting, which its participants declare will be followed by a much larger gathering, was held last night for the purpose of arranging a plan to present the name of President Roosevelt as a candidate for the presidency. Among those present at the meeting were ex-Representative Thomas W. Phillips, a delegate from the Twenty fourth Pennsylvania district; C. F. Teter, a delegate at large, and George W. Curtain, a delegate from the Fourth, district of West Virginia. There were present beside these a number of men who will not actually participate in the convention. It was stated that on the arrival of the Georgia and West Virginia delega tions a complete campaign will be ar ranged. One of the Georgia delegates. It is said, will bring with him a peti tion bearing between 60,000 and 70,0000 signatures from men in the south urging that President Roosevelt accept a second, elective term. The entire move is said by the men actively participating to be favored by tne "Allies wno Deneve tnat no nomi nation will be made on the first ballot. Delegates Teter and Curtin have been instructed for Taft but both of them have frequently expressed the intention of bolting their instructions. The Roosevelt boomers believe that some man prominent In the convention and they have picked Senator Lodge as the man has a letter from Presi dent Roosevelt designed to meet the exact situation they are planning to bring about. They declared that they realized that the reading of this letter "might be prevented," although just as to how this Is to be done they were not exactly clear. NEW YORKERS HAKMOXIOTTS. All the Wrinkles In the Delegation Have Been Ironed Out. Chicago, June 15. Absolute har mony, so far as surface indications went characterized the New York delegation. For the first time in mod ern politics In that state, however, Thomas C. Piatt was not In atten dance, his place being taken by Sen ator J. P. Aids, of Norwich. Senator Chauncey M. Depew was chosen as the state's representative in the list of honorary vice presidents. The con flict which arose yesterday over the membership on the committee on res olutions between Representative Se reno E. Payne and Representative Herbert Parsons, had been settled ov er night and Mr. Parsons himself presented Mr. Payne's name for the place. State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff was made chairman of the delegation. A resolution was adopted unani mously requesting General Stewart L. Woodruff to present the name of Gov ernor Hughes as the choice of the state for president. There was no mention of the vice presidency. (Continued on Page Sewen.)

At 2 o'clock this afternoon the gov ernment river gauge recorded 21.3 feet indicating a fall of 1.1 feet since the reading was taken at 8 o'clock this morning. The rate of the fall has In creased materially since the reading was taken at 8 o'clock. At that time the rate of fall was approximately an Inch an hour. tt 2 o'clock the rate of fall had in creased to almost two inches an hour and the Indications are favorable for a greater Increase during the evening and night. The reading taken at 2 o'clock Indicates a fall of 3.5 feet since the crest of the flood reached Topeka Saturday afternoon. "The reading at 2 o'clock this after noon is most encouraging," said As sistant Weather Observer Flora. "Everything is in ship shape and no further danger of a rise need be an ticipated unless heavy rains should fall up the valley of the Kaw. The rate of fall has increased from an inch to two inches and this Is more than we really anticipated and we feel sure that this rate will be Increased during the afternoon and tonight. "The fall since morning places the river safely inside its banks even at the low places in the vicinity of To peka and the water will soon drain out of the low districts of North To peka. We anticipate a steady fall until the stream reaches its normal I stage, barrtns, of J5ursev.tbe possibili ty of rains, which would change our calculations.'. lThe conditions' atf the present time are the most hopeful that we have had since the high waters began to threaten the city. Assistant Observer Flora also said: The stubbornness of the f aU Is ac counted for in several ways. The Mls sourl river Is above flood stage and this retards the waters of the Kaw from emptying.. The ground west of here is water soaked so that It can not care for the rains which fall even though light." The streams which drain the wat ershed of the Kaw are at or near the flood stage and these waters emptying into the Kaw retard the fall of the stream at this point. We expect the fall to be slow for some time, though the waters will in all probability re cede much more rapidly tonight than through the day. The conditions are most favorable at the present time for a continued fall in the Kaw until' the danger point is passed. There is not the least bit of danger of another flood stage unless unusually heavy rains fall along the valleys of the streams which empty into the Kaw west of Topeka."

The crest of the second rise of the Kaw river reached Topeka a few min utes after noon Saturday though it Mop Showing Where the Kaw River Broke Through at Updegraff Farm and TTnlon Pacific Tie Plant. was not recognized as such1 at the time. The government rive gauge recorded 24.8 feet of water at that time and at 8 o'clock this morning the gauge re corded 22.4 feet; making the fall from the high point reached, Saturday noon of 2.4 feet at 8 o'clock, today. The rise was steady, there being no flood waves or high crests and the fall j has likewise been slow but steady since the crest of the-rise passed Topeka Saturday noon. For four hours after the crest of the -rise reached this city Saturday the waters remained almost stationary. Slowly and stubbornly they then began to recede and the process has continued since. Weather Observer 'Jennings said Sunday morning that the fact that the river had not risen higher than it did Saturday night was because it had broken through the banks at the TJp degraff farm and spread out over the bottoms at that point and elsewhere, thus relieving the channel and keep ing the flood down, below a higher mark. I Soldier creek left its banks Saturday and flowed down -the old channel past Menoken through the Townsend farm to the Kansas river. This somewhat relieved the situation in North Topeka, as it made an outlet for the flood water and kept it from flowing into the town. This morning's river gauge reading Indicates that the Kaw Is yet out of Its banks at thhs point and flooding to the depth of .9 of a foot and at the present rate it Is falling will not be en tirely within its banks until late this afternoon, perhaps five o'clock. At the present time the fall is about an inch an hour, considerably greater than it has averaged since the highest point was reached Saturday. During the 44 hours from Saturday noon until Mon day morning at 8 o'clock the fall has been 29 inches or but little more than half an Inch each hour. Reports received this morning from the streams west of. the city which empty into the Kaw or its tributaries Indicate that all. danger of a rise for the time being is past. The sudden rise which occurred at Topeka Saturday is attributed to the heavy rams which tell Immediately west of the city, the waters being car ried into the Kaw by numerous small creeks. The rains which fell farther west of the city along the Smoky Hill, Republican, Big Blue,; Solomon and Sa line rivers had nothing to do with this rise and their flood i. waters are now passing Topeka. i Reports from the watershed district which is drained by these streams in dicates that all of them are falling slowly which necessarily means that the fall in the Kaw at this point will be much greater-24 hours from now than it is at the present time. The re ports received by the T.-eather bureau and railroads indicate the most favor able conditions west of Topeka. People GOing Back. Kansas avenue over in North Tope ka was more quiet this morning than any time In the past ten days. There were less people oh the streets, fewer vehicles and little business activity. Still, all the grocery stores had re sumed business, and the meat mark ets. The flood of Saturday did no damage at all touth ot Gordon street except in the' residence districts on Laurent street. Tjs, people came back to their homes today, that is all who could get back. There, was not the rush and enthusiasm that marked the resumption last Wednesday. The re turn of the second flood was, too sud den; the river is standing at too high a stage for that. On Kansas avenue the water had receded past Fairchild street at 2 o'clock this afternoon and was falling steadily. At noon Saturday the water was running several .inches deep through the fire station. There were few despondent people in North Topeka today. Most of them will move back as soon as possible. They are grimly determined to fight It out with the flood. They feel sure that steps will be taken at once to begin the construction of levees of a height and strength to keep such a flood as the one of last week clear out of the town. "Now Is the time to keep up cour age. If there ever was a time, said a merchant today. "We ought to be thankful that the flood of Saturday did not do the damage it threatened. I am doing business today and have my goods moved back even though the river is bank high and one hard rain will run it over again." While all the meat shops, groceries and restaurants were doing business, as usual today, the dry goods and fur niture stores were more cautious about rearranging their stocks of goods. At noon Saturday the people of North Topeka were expecting a worse flood than that of Tuesday. As far south as Railroad street the merchants had boarded up their front windows. While some were discouraged this morning, most of them were thankful that the flood had not reached them the last time. As soon as the river goes down a few feet they will move back and re sume business. The back water in the east part of town has run out this time more rapidly than it did last Wednes day. The residence district north of Gordon street was covered with water from a depth of six inches to two .feei this morning, but there was no current to speak of. Hacks and wagons were busy today carrying people back to their homes. The flood did not enter nearly so many houses Saturday as it (Continued on Page Egiht.) WORST IS OVER.

Feet Kansas City, Mo., June 15. Flood conditions are more serious in Kansas City today than they have yet been since the present rise of the Kaw and Missouri rivers, but both rivers became stationary at 8 o'clock this morning and it is believed the waters will begin to recede in about 24 hours. No heavy rains have fallen in this territory since Saturday and although weather condi tions are still unsettled there is no 1m madiate prospects of further precipita tion. When the rivers became stationary this morning the Kaw registered a stage of 29.6 feet while the gauge of the Missouri was 30.2 feet. The Mis souri is holding back the waters of the Kaw and forming one vast lake in the district comprised by Armourdale, Kan., and the wholesale district in the west bottoms of Kansas City, Mo. The Kaw would be falling rapidly here were it not for the stage of the Missouri and until the crest of the Missouri from the north reaches here the fall of the Kaw will be neutralized and the waters remain stationary in the flooded dis tricts. The Kaw river is falling at To peka, and other points west and most of the Kaw tributaries are assuming their normal stages and reports from Missouri river points to the north in dictate that the waters are receding slowly in flooded districts. The Union station is still above the flood level although on Union avenue alongside the depot baggage rooms the water is more than a foot deep. There is two feet in front of the Blos som house, the most pretentious hotel in that district, and the railroad tracks on the west approaches of the Union station are under water. The last trains to come into this station from the west came through water almost up to the firebox of the engines and the most primitive methods of signal ling was employed to facilitate their slow progress through the water.

Chicago, June 15. A new turn was give to the vice presidential specula tion shortly after noon today when an Intimation was received from Wash ington that the president desired the nomination of either Senator Dolliver or Governor Cummins. The Iowa friends of the senator were greatly sur- nrised but were unmoved by it, and Chairman Perkins of the Iowa delega tion expressed the opinion tnai lowa nronlrl nnnose Mr. Dolliver's selection even in face of the president's prefer ence for him. "We cannot consent to his nomina tion," he said, and he added that this decision was as much in Senator Dol liver's interest as in the interest of the state and party. Taft to Keep Out. Chicago, June 15. In view of the con tinued intimation that the Taft forces had a preference for the office of vice president, a conference was held today in the rooms of Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio. There were present Messrs. Henry Taft, Arthur Vorys. Frank Hitchcock and other of the friends of Secretary Taft. After full consideration of the subject they an nounced for publication that under no circumstances would Secretary Taft or any of his friends take' any part in the contest for vice president.

This is 25 more than the necessary two-thirds. SUNSHINE ONCE MORE. The sun has been shining bright and warm all day and the overhead Indi cations are not suggestive of the flood ed condition of the eastern portion of the state. Neither do the conditions today suggest the fulflllment ot the government weather prediction of "showers tonight and Tuesday," but in the past few weeks, at least the forecast has been more reliable than overhead indicatons. The bulletin issued by the weather bureau today covering a period of 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock this morn ing indicates that the rain period dur ing this time was very limited. Three of the 15 stations reported a trace of rain. Two hundredths of an inch fell at Concordia and four hundredths at Dresden, no rain fell at any of the re maining stations though the conditions were cloudy at the time the bulletin was filed this morning.

What the Papers and People Are Saying About the Long-White-Bristoir Campaign Episode. WHAT MR. WHITE SAYB The Atchison Globe Han and Wichita Eagle Comment. Interesting Extracts and In terylews About the Incident. The papers of course are full of Sen ator Long's opening campaign speech at Emporia last week and the skinning the senator gave William Allen Whit, the literary genius of Kansas, and the alleged manager of the Bristow cam paign for the Republican nomination for the United States senate against the present incumbent. Here is what White himself said in the Emporia Gazette the next day that Is the part the State Journal has not yet printed for this paper published In Its Issue of the day following; the evening of Long's speech, what was telegraphed to Topeka (that stuff coats about S30 telegraph tolls over the Western Union, but White gets ten cents a word for much of his copy and when one can get It for two-thirds of a cent a word, the telegraphic press rate, it is a bargain in new literature by William Allen White.) Most of these clippings, to be sure. give the Impression that Long made a favorable Impression at Emporia and that White got "skinned." Well, that" what White said himself and the State Journal has also been trying to And ex pressions that were the other way and has found some, but not as many as of the other kind. If Mr. White or Mr. Bristow will help us in the search we will later print a few more than are given below: White's Local Story. From White in Emporia Gazette, June 11, 1908.J "GAZETTE SKINNED ALIVE. "EDITOR PEELED AND BATHED IN SALT BT LONG. "Roman Holiday for the Fellows who Like a Free Show, and Great Doings for the Democrats A Felicitous Oc- casion "The handsomest audience that ever assembled in the Whitley opera house for a political meet,- greeted Senator Long last night, to hear- him peel the lining off the editor of the Gazette. Great credit is due to I. E. Lambert for the success of the meeting. He showed, that he knows how to get to the Emporia people,- and the fact that he managed the meeting last night. Is a nevldence of the. respect and esteem which Emporia people have in him. "A neat Introductory- speech was made by Oscar- Belfield one of the happiest speeches of Its kind ever made in town and then Senator Long began. He devoted most of the evening to the editor of the Gazette, who sat by and enjoyed it as much as the senator seemed to. It was a felicitous occas ion, in which everyone seems entirely satisfied." Wliite's Editorial June 11. From the Emporia Gazette.' "A PERSONAL WORD. "The editor of this paper la not a candidate for office and never expects to be. He is trying with all earnest ness to fight those forces that organ ize machines in politics for the pur pose of selling political power to those forces of predatory wealth that prey upon, the weak and unorganised mem bers of society. Sometimes he has to say things that hurt those In high places,- and they must hit back. "It's all right. It's part ot the game give and take, and it all comes in a lifetime. r "So don't waste any sympathy on the fat old rascal who runs this paper.. He Is amply able to take care of him self, but he does not propose to defend himself against any insinuations or charges made in this senatorial cam paign against him. "He is not an issue. The Issues are clearly defined. It is between the hon est, conscientious man who works hard In his shop, in his office, on his farm and in his profession, and the man who toils not, neither does ha spin, but who fattens off society, givtnr society no adequate return. That is alt there is in this fight. And in that fight the Gazette will smash hard and not wince when they smash back." What Scleral Kmporlans Said. The following expressions from citi zens of Emporia following the meettny; show the Impression made by Senator Long's speech: Capt. C. R. Stone, a leading veteran: "I haven't seen any but Long men since this meeting. It was a com plete answer to his enemies and should Insure his re-election, if there was any doubf before." L. L. Halleck, vice president Citi zen's National bank: "I went to the meeting with Long under a cloud la my own mind, but his answer was so complete and his position so fair that I am very proud of such a -senator, and will be for him with all my heart." Fred C. Newman, president of the Citizen's National bank: "Senator Long's answer was clear and satisfac tory. He not only disproved tha charge, but he showed the ability which Kansas ought to keep in tha senate." H. O. Frantz, merchant: "Tha speech made at least 500 votes for Long. He surely turned the table on his enemies, put them on the run, and thev won't sleep for a long while." X, C. Bennette, insurance: "Every body is delighted with Long as a speaker and believes In his record. Long has lacked acquaintance here, but he has made- a townful of friends." Robert L. Jones, real estate: "Some body worked 'Bill' White In get tins; him to print those charges. Lonjf answered 'em all right."

Springfield at Wichita. Despite the hiring; of a special train by Cooley the Oklahoma City team was unable to get here from Joplin yester day and after the crowds had assem bled and no signs of the visitors were evident, Cooley addressed himself to the grandstand in a few words through Boles as spokesman and then issued rain checks. These checks will be good for any game until the team goes away on the next series, which will include Sunday's game with 'Enid. Cooley, in order to insure good faith and satisfac tion among the fans will redeem any rain check for money, if presented at his drug store. Red Craig is working with Enid now. The genial Irishman got away bad Saturday but will doubtless win several good battles for Kimmel, Wright Co. During the past trip the locals man aged to annex six games which were apportioned as follows: Three out of four from Enid, one. out of three from Hutchinson, and two out of four from Wichita, losing four straight to Okla homa City. On its face this is not a very good record but when the facts in the case are known the games won and lost will be overlooked in the storms Of protest which will arise from all fair minded fans. At Oklahoma City four games Were played. Of the four the locals should have won three or would have won three had they been given fair umpiring. It does not take very many rank decisions to change the re sult of a game and umpires would soon er please the home crowds than give the visiting teams an even break. At least that seems to have been the case in Oklahoma City and Wichita. It does not look very well for a manager to put up a talk of bad umpiring and it would not in this case had not Cooley made it and Dick has never yet made any kicks on umpiring away from home, when talking to the local sporting writ ers. At Oklahoma City the crowds are prejudiced and are urged on by abusive press notices which .are thrown at visit ing players. Cooley was put out of one of the games for disputing a decision when Bill Rapps was tagged ten feet away from the plate.'. The next day a fine was tacked on after the umpires and President Shively had decided not to assess it. It .vas, all done at the Instance of a paper in that town which devoted half of Jtar sporting page to abuse of Cooley. At-Wichita Cooley had requested from Shively that another umpire be sent to work In the game. Shively, whom Cooley blames very vigorously for the trouble- with the umpires, told Cooley that Holland wanted the umpire, then on' duty,- and bo Cooley had" to stand for it. Whenrtoe Teached Wichita Cooley received word from Shively an nouncing his suspension for taking ex ceptions to a decision in Hutchinson. This decision was a rank one and not a fan in Hutchinson approved of Cooley's being put out of the game. For a much graver offense In Topeka, Shively refused to assess a suspension against Pennell who had used profane language in addressing the umpire and the next day Pennell went in and broke up a game. Not so with Cooley, he is put out for a less trivial offense, and the local team made to suffer. Cooley is inclined to blame Shively ifor all the trouble'1" with the umpires and thinks that th doctor has given him the raw end of It all the way through. Dick is not asking to be favored. All he wants when he Is on the road is justice and he did not get it in a single town, not even in Hutch inson where the fans hissed the In decent treatment of the locals by the umpires. Cooley after being run out of the game at -Hutchinson watched the game from the top of a box car a coun try block away. For this he was sus pended. The Hutchinson team is up and com ing in the race. The Andrews bunch were badly handicapped at the start, having lost the first four games to the Jobbers. But today, they are playing great ball and are resting in second place ahead of the Jobbers and White Six. Roach, Webb City's southpaw, who is quite hard for the locals to hit, Is un lucky when the team is home." He wins a big majority of the games he pitches on the road but does not fare well when at home. t The Joplin team has won nine straight games, having Just completed four straight from Oklahoma City. The Miners may yet land, above the Mets. Oklahoma City ha lost the five last games which they hive played. 'If the locals should take them down the line for four straight Oklahoma City would be hitting the toboggan good and hard. And the downward descent is eagerly anticipated by several other teams in the league. t The Topeka team opens up with the UKianoma city team- this afternoon The high water prevented the Mets from getting here yesterday. Three games will be played In the present ser ies and the other game will be played off at a latter date, probably a Sunday date later in the season. This will be the first appearance, with the Mets' in the city this season and as they are now occupying the top of the ladder the series ought to be of special interest. The general opinion around the cir cuit seems to be that the Mets have been overestimated. The strong de partment of the ;team is the pitching staff but outside of Bemia and Folbre, the staff doesn't looks very good to th-5 trained observer. Hoffer is too aged to bear the brunt of many more battles. Bandy has lost the last six or seven games he has pitched and McClintock hasn't shown so awful much in the few games that he has pitched. Bemis is a good pitcher and although he lost a majority of his games last season he has always been considered a good one. Folbre has pitched some goad games tills, season and in others: has' shown explosive symptoms, put the Mets have been mighty lucky aH reason. The' lnT field does not compare with the To peka infield. Rapps,; an outfielder, is working in the shoes' of Warren Gill and is but a fair first Backer, although a good hitter. Love at second seems C0RTELY01) OUT. It Is Not Likely That the Secre tary of the Treasury Will Be Mentioned for Tice Presidency at Chicago. TAFT AND DOLLIVfcR Is the Ticket That Appears to Find Most Favor. The Senator Hag the Opposition of His Own State. Chicago, June 15. "Taft of Ohio, Dol liver of Iowa." There are many politicians In Chi cago predicting that these names will constitute the next Republican nation al ticket, and some believe that the Iowa man is as sure of the second place as is the Ohio man the first. The situation does not justify so strong a characterization, but the Dolllver boom is manifesting such positive vitality and has grown so rapidly during the last 24 hours as to Justify giving Mr. Dolliver the center of the stage in placing the characters who are taking part in the vice presidential drama, now being staged. The other vice presidential develop ments are: The increasing prominence given to Vice President Fairbanks as a candidate to succeed himself, the falling off in the Cortelyou boom, and a pronounced improvement in Sher man's chances. The present indications are that Sec retary Cortelyou's name will not be presented to the convention. He has from the first been largely dependent upon the New York deleeatlon and -now that it seems practically impossible for him to secure the endorsement of that delegation, It is possible that his can didacy may not be further pressed. As sistant Secretary of the Treasury Cool idge said that if it became evident that his chief could not- secure the nomi nation without making a fight for it he would not permit the mention of his name in the convention. There is no possibility of avoiding a conflict, not even if Senator Dolliver is elimina ted, as it is evident that no one will be permitted to gather the prize with out winning it in the open arena of the assembled convention and with a num ber of valiant competitors. Fairbanks Sentiment. The growth of Fairbanks sentiment has been due to the fact that for the first time some of the Indiana delegates and other prominent men of that state have discussed the chances of winning second place when the fight for first place is over. The situation in Indiana is the reverse of the situation in Iowa. While in the latter state the Republi can leaders fear demoralization in case of Senator Dolliver's selection for the vice presidency, in the former they de sire the renominatlon of Mr. Fairbanks to maintain the political equilibrium now existing in the state. They also urge the retention of Mr. Fairbanks as a source of strength with the voters and because of his generally acknow ledged successful administration of the office for the present term. It is the opinion of many that if the nomina tion of a vice presidential candidate should be long delayed Mr.' Fairbanks would prove the most available com promise candidate who has been men tioned. The strategical position of New York is largely responsible for Mr. Sher man's growth as a candidate. If New York has considered doubtful that state could command the nomination for the vice presidency, and its claim would re ceive most respectful consideration. Consequently much attention has been given to the report which has gained currency that the delegation of the em pire state will declare for Sherman for second place in case of the failure of Governor Hughes for first place. In addition, the claim is made that many other eastern delegates will cast their votes for the New York candidate. For these and other reason Mr. Sherman has made decided gains. Iowa Against Dolliver. The Iowa friends of Senator Dol liver, who want him to remain in the senate and not to enter the vice presi dential race, have been busy all day in their efforts to devise means of pre venting his nomination, still basing their opposition on the sole ground that his selection would work incal culable harm to the party in that state by causing a renewal of the factional fight. They have made many appeals to the senator himself by mail and by letter and through personal messen gers, to all of which he has made the reply that he is not a candidate and that the office is not one that appeals to him. Judge O'Connell, leader of the AH l-son-Dolliver faction, has arrived with a renewal of this assurance. Appeals are also being constantly made, to in coming delegates and Secretary Taft himself has been, implored to prevent the nomination of the Iowan. These efforts have not caused a diminution of the pressure in Mr. Dol liver's behalf, but they are having a perceptible effort upon' delegates, many of whom are Inclined to admit that available as Dolliver may be, it would be better to find another man for the nomination than to disturb conditions in Iowa. On the other hand, it is declared that Secretary Taft has expressed a decided preference for Dolliver and this declaration is the most potent fac tor operating in the senator's behalf. Counting confidently upon having Mr. Bryan as his antagonist, the secretary is reported to have taken the position to be the star of the infield as he hits and fields well. Billy White has been a good shortstop and three or four years ago he was picked for faster com pany. However, he failed to stick and is generally losing his cunning. Emory at third is a youngster who has shown up well thus far but who shows hia in experience. -The outfield lacks the class of many other W. A. teams. White and McCormick. are both youngsters and although promising fall shy on class. Goes is a fair fielder and about a .250 hitter. His hitting Is usually done jin the spring and he has been, doing good work thus far. In the catching department McConnell and Kelsey play the roles. McConnell Is manager and so far this season has contented himself with taking care of Xbxr gates. Kelsey is a valuable catch er but is a weak hitter. At best the Mets have been mighty lucky all sea son .and. with the heir, of the umpires have managed to reach the top but a slump is already being seen. The wis Ones say they will finish about fourth, but by playing their strongest and ex periencing a great turn of luck they may wind up Nov 3. i i 1 that he would need as a running mate a western man of reform ideas rather than an eastern man as the best em bodiment of this requirement. Many of his -friends are doing all in their power to promote his candidacy and they contend that Iowa should not allow- her local complications to inter fere with the utilization of her ravored son in a broader field. A Fieht Is Likely. Summed up, the vice presidential situation may be said not to have been simplified by the efforts of the past 24 hours and unless the president or Secretary Taft interferes the conven tion itself will not be allowed to ad journ without witnessing a pretty fight over the second place on the presiden tial ticket. Members of the Iowa delegation have been in communication with Secretary Taft and after the conversa tion closed some of them stated that while they could not give, the details of the talk, the public might expect an Intimation from the secretary that he did not desire the senator's nomi nation because, as was stated, he did not regard it good politics to take a step which would render uncertain a state which is now certainly Republi can. "Who can be found to fill the re quirements as does Senator Dolliver in case of his withdrawal?" was asked of National Committeeman Hart. "That will be easy," was the re sponse. "It Is not so necessary as has been intimated that the vice president should be chosen from the west. Sec retary Taft is himself strong in the west." "Will Iowa be for- Sherman?" he was asked and he replied: "Iowa will be pleased to cast its vote for Sherman in case he gets the support of his own state of New York." HITCHCOCK FOR MANAGER. Taft Is Being Urged to Let Him Bun the Campaign. Chicago, June 15. Letters urging Secretary Taft to appoint Frank H. Hitchcock as manager of his campaign for election, in the event of his nomi nation for the presidency by the Re publican convention were mailed by more than half of the members of the present national committee. Frank II. Hitchcock, Taft Campaign Manager, Who Probably Will Be Chairman ot the National Republi can committee. -..iv-,i The' expressions favorable to trie' se lection of Mr. Hitchcock were made in response to an intimation from Wash ington that advice would be acceptable on the question of selecting a chairman for the next national committee and most of the letters had been mailed before Mr. Hitchcock was apprised of the action taken by his friends. When told of the letters having been sent to Secretary Taft. Mr. Hitchcock said: "I regret very much that my friends have seen fit to take such action at this time. It has been my opinion all along that the question of selecting a manager for the campaign could well wait until after a nomination for the presidency has been made by the con vention." That there is opposition to the ap pointment of Mr. Hitchcock as chair man of the national committee is con ceded by that gentleman's friends. The name of Senator Crane is heard fre quently In connection with the chair manship and there are a few members of the committee who are seeking to have Chairman New retained in the position. The selection, however, has been thought to rest between. Mr. Hitchcock and Arthur I. Vorys, who has been identified with Mr. Taft's ca.mpaign ever since he first announced his candidacy. Mr. vorys nas a large following in Ohio and former Governor Myron T. Herrick, the present commit teeman from Ohio and Charles P. Taft, brother of the secretary, are believed to be committed to the appointment of the Ohio manager. Since the contests were settled before the national com mittee, Mr. Taft, it is said, has not attempted to Influence Secretary Taft in making a choice. MAY GO TO WARNER, Chairmanship of the Nomination Notification Committee. Chicago. June 15. It is announced .t the Taft headauarters that Unlfed States Senator William Warner or Missouri will be chosen chairman of the convention committee to mage notification to the presidential nomi nee of his choice by the convention; that former Governor Hill of Maine would be preferred to head the con vention committee on permanent nrranization. and that unitea estates Senator Charles W. F. Fulton of Oreeon was being, most favorably considered for the chairmanship of the credentials committee. The selec tions depend, of course, upon the Suc cess of the plans of Taft forces--to organize the convention, and are re garded as indicating the confidence felt in that quarter that their strength predominates. The selection of Sena tor Warner to head the notification committee is regarded as of more than passing political importance. The senator is past commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re public, a veteran who saw service throughout the civil war and repre sents doubtful state. Senator War ner is a close personal friend and The bread that satisfies. 5 cents per loaf. At all Grocers. mm CURES ECZEJ1A QUICKLY New Dm, Poslam, Wow Obtainable in Small Qoamltlea.

Ordinarily this appointment would go to the permanent chairman of the convention. Senator Lodge of Massa chusetts is slated for this honor, but because of a contemplated visit to Europe will be unable to accom modate himself to the demands of the notification committee. The intended compliment to Gover nor Hill emphasises the appreciation felt toward what is regarded as an original Taft state. Mr. Hill's work during the contest hearings by the national committee was most efficient and earnest and his bearing and per sonality is said to have won for him many friends. His ability to head the important committee on permanent organization is conceded. The credentials committee chair--manship is a matter requiring and re ceiving most careful consideration. Senator Fulton's availability Is recognized from many points of view. He is not only entirely familiar with each of the contested cases before the national committee, but he heads a delegation which comes to the con vention without a Single contest. Be side this, his appointment would be extending to the northwest one of the delicate compliments of the conven tion. TROUSERS FOR TAFT. Texas Sends a Pair That Will Be Use less for Anybody Else. Chicago, June 15. A remarkable pair of trousers to be presented to Secretary Taft in the name of the state, of Texas when he shall have become, the Re publican candidate for president are on their way to Chicago and are at tracting the attention of the politicians.' Incidentally, 16 is said, the trousers are intended to focus eyes on Texas and; the'Angora goat Industry of the state for they are made of mohair, the pro duct of clippings from a famous An gora goat from Texas, and they are in tended to be worn by the Republican candidate for president if It be Taft. If the nominee should be Hughes, Knox or Fairbanks, the advertising scheme will be lost for the mohair has geen made up according to Secretary Taft's measure. The Idea is that of John B. Carrlng ton, secretary of the Business Men's club of San Antonio. He has written to Cecil A. Lyon, a member of the na tional committee from Texas, that 10 pounds of wool had been sent to him by Frank O. Landrum, a goat breeder, the wool being six months clipping from "Admiral Togo," whose sire was Imported from South Africa. Tin busi ness men of San Antonio sent the wool to Philadelphia and had it made lnco mohair, which in turn was sent to Mr.. Taft's tailor In Washington and made into a pair of trousers for the secretary, of war. The Texas business men ex pected that Mr. Taft would be In Chi cago during the convention and order ed the trousers sent to Colonel Lyon for presentation to the secretary. They are now en route here. A telegram announcing the fact that the trousers had been expressed from Washington was received by Colonel Lyon today and he Immediately began the preparation of a proper reception.' It will include the exhibition of the trousers at the Coliseum If Taft Is nominated. The delegation will lead the column up the aisles in the usual' procession of enthusiastic delegates of which a nomination is invariably a sig nal. Colonel Lyons expects to have the trousers hoisted on the Texas stan dard. Taft Headquarters. Chicago, June 16; Immense photo graphs of Secretary Taft, each a dif ferent pose, all showing good nature, one his broad back and a wrinkled coat, another the hobnails In a pair of roughing boots, constitute the Interest ing feature of the Taft headquarters at the Auditorium Annex. The head quarters are under the direct super vision of Mr. Vorys, Mr. Taft's Ohio manager. They are on the parlor floor of the Annex and near the brilliantly decorated hall of the Ohio headquar ters.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL IIOITD AY E VE1TIITQ, JUNE 15, 19U8. 3 RAILROAD NEWS. Big Tunnel on Santa Fe lis Now Complete. Second Hole Through Baton in Use. 500,000 ENTIRE COST. Interesting Details of Big En gineering Feat. Other Items of Interest Hallway Circles. in The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad now has two tunnels through Raton pass. The second was comple ted last week. The floor of the new tunnel lies 7,548 feet above sea level.. The summit of the mountain is 7,776 feet above sea level. The tunnel runs east and west and is 2,786 feet long from portal to portal. It is 26 feet high, 17 feet wide and is lined with concrete. In the roof the concrete walls are 12 to 24 inches thick, and In the sides vary from 18 to 24 inches. Penetrating the roof of the tunnel from the summit of the mountain are two air shafts, which also are concrete lined. The west end is 36 feet lower than the old tunnel and the east end 12 feet lower. The old tunnel will be repaired and used with the new as a double track. In the construction of the great tun nel the work was expedited by work ing from both ends and from two places between. To work from the middle two shafts were sunk 1.000 feet apart, and by pumping in air two gangs of work men were employed in each. This made room for six gangs of men to work day and night. A remarkable feature of the work is that the mountain was pierced almost exactly on the line of survey, the greatest difference being only about an inch. The workmen en countered shale, sandstone and coal. The statum of coal penetrated was from a few inches to three and one half feet in thickness. It was of the best quality and enough was taken out to have made steam for the construc tion plant had there been any practi cal method for cheaply separating the coal from the waste. Such means lacking, the coal went into the waste heaf). From the tunnel between portals 67.000 cubic yards of shale, sandstone and coal were removed, and from the approaches 73.000 cubic yards. The portals are constructed of concrete walls, reinforced with buttresses six feet ajart. Since the work was begun 9.020 dif ferent workmen have been employed. The average daily force was 250 men, The constructing company has paid for labor about $230,000, the laborers receiv ing from $1.75 to $2.50 a day. In the construction 16,750 barrels of cement and 2 million feet of lumber were used. The entire cost was $500,000. The old tunnel was bored 30 years ago. It will be repaired immediately for temporary use, and later it will be made larger and lined with concrete It is now 2.030 feet long, but will be made longer by the proposed changes The two tunnels lie immediately be low the old Santa Fe trail, and they succeed as the highway of commerce the old toll road maintained by Uncle Dick Wootton, a famous character who owned the pass and the land adjacent to it.

The railroad commissions of five states, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana. Michigan and Wis consin, met in Chicago today and decided that the deadly grade cross ing must go. The movement was led by the state of Indiana, with its 10, 000 unprotected grade crossings, which exact a toll of 100 lives an nually. The terrible loss of human life by reason of people being com pelled to cross railroad tracks and through trespassing was declared by Commissioner Wood of Indiana to be the "great American crime," and it was insisted that only the reckless spirit of the American people would countenance such a national calamity. As a correlative movement it was also decided to work for the passage of laws where needed and the en forcement of existing statutes pro hibiting trespassing on railroad rights of way and on railroad property. The congress of commissions was called at the instance of the commis mission of Michigan, and so impressed were the commissioners present with the value of co-operation among commissions whose action affects the same railroads in different states that it was determined to form a per manent organization.

Felled by Cigar Store Indian. Dr. H. B. West touched a bunch of cigars held by an Indian squaw In front of the Maheckemo cigar store with the tip of his umbrella during a shower here this aiternoon, ana she knocked him unconscious In the gutter. Dr. West was senseless more than ten seconds, and it was an hour or so before he really realized what had oc curred. He is willing to swear that this Indian squaw has a punch that would put out John L. Sullivan in his prime. Through a short circuiting of wires the metallic sign had become charged with the 2,500 volts of the electricity, and but for his having rubber heels on his shoes and gloves on his hands, the doctor might have been killed.

Peabody, Kan., June 15. The most shocking tragedy that has occurred in this vicinity in many years happened near here Friday night. Frank Good, a young farmer living seven miles north of town, killed his three young children and then committed suicide. The instrument used to commit the terrible deed was a- pocket knife. His father, mother-in-law and a young woman of the neighborhood slept on the upper floor of the house, but knew BothiQg of the tragedy until the father arose at 5 o'clock Saturday morning and came down stairs. The bodies were stiff and it is supposed they had been dead for several hours. The children's throats had been cut and they had been stabbed in the heart, and Mr. Good's body was cut In vari ous places. Circumstances indicated that the children had died without a struggle and probably never knew what happened to them. Mr. Good's wife died May 29, and it is supposed that grief over her loss and financial troubles had unbalanced his mind. He had been acting rather strangely ever since her death and had made several remarks which indicated a very de spondent frame of mind. The chil dren were Elsie, aged 9; Wesley, aged 7, and Ruth, aged 4 years. DALTOX AT COFFEYVIIXK. Was an Object of Much Attention, But Xo 111 Feelln? Shown. Coffeyville, Kan., June 15.

When King Edward VII visited New York as Prince of Wales in 1860 he was a mere stripling of nineteen, trav eling as Lord Renfrew. His son and heir to the throne of England, Prince George of Wales, is forty-three, and in all probability will be king within a few years. Edward ascended the throne at sixty and is now sixty-seven years old. If he lives to be seventy son George will be king at forty-pix. The latter's visit, therefore, is of the utmost importance. American newspaper enterprise ren ders it impossible that Prince George shall travel incognito. He could no more conceal his identity in America than Niagara Falls could hide its thunderous roar from passengers on the Maid of the Mist. Even his fath er, in 1860, was unable to cloak him seif as Baron Renfrew. After being In this country five davs. Albert Edward threw off all re serve, and made himself easily the most popular prince that ever visited a foreign land. He was a handsome youngster, and could best any man he ever met at waltzing.

In a fearful storm the Ariadne threw; out a line and towed the prlnce'a" vessel at nine knots through heavy;" seas. The idea of a twenty-six-gun frigate towing a line-of-battle ship under such conditions seem absurd; but the Ariadne was the wonder of her age.

Considerable doubt will soon de velop. If It has not already, as to the right-mindedness of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. She has Just delivered herself of an opinion that Harry Thaw, her notorious husband. Is sane. George Gould says that his railroad properties are now comfortable. Com fortable for him, perhaps, but how bout the shopmen, and trainmen and other employes of his various systems who have been laid off from work for an Indefinite period. There never was a national conven tion of any party, or a large assem blage of any kind, that did not con tain a few men who would Insist on having their little joke. And the Re publican national convention, about to convene at Chicago, Is no exception. The fine Italian hand of the jokers, who are alrVady on deck at the Windy City, is shown in the suggestion that Dave Mulvane has a chance to get the vice presidential nomination. Senator I. D. Young of Beloit has withdrawn from the race for the Re publican congressional nomination in the Sixth district. What's he going to do now with that wonderful personal platfrom of sixteen more or less sturdy planks which he went to such great pains to draw up and on which he intended to make the race for the nomination? If It were not for the fact that the planks are too heavy to float, he might cut it up, make a boat out of It, and do rescue work in the flooded territory of the state. It's all over now but the shouting. Nick Longworth, who has said on oth er occasions that it Is unfair to make him play the role of the Baby Mc Kee of the present administration just because he happens to be the son-in-law of Mr. Roosevelt, declares that Mr. Taft will not only beat the "allies' at Chicago and walk off with the Republican nomination for the presidency, but he will also beat Bry an on election day. This settles a couple of disturbing questions, or it ought to. Both of the national conventions of the big parties will be conspicuous in one respect. Two of New York's for mer political war horses will be ab sent from them. Tom Piatt will not attend the Republican one and the Democratic one will not be graced with the presence of David Bennett Hill, who some years ago held the firm conviction that destiny had carv ed him out to be a president of the United States. His thoughts along this line was as Tar as he ever got. He never even came near getting the presidential nomination although he was an avowed candidate before a couple of the conventions. A New York delegate to the Chicago convention Is said to be armed with a letter from President Roosevelt which will be used, If necessary, to prevent a "Roosevelt stampede." In this letter. It Is said that the president brands aa an insult any attempt to force the nomination upon him. If the con vention should develop Into such an uproarious affair as some of the state eenventlonn have in the south. It would seem that a few gatltng guns would be more serviceable for the purposes Intended than one lone let ter. But possibly the president pins his faith in the old adage that the pen is mightier than the sword. Henry Watterson says, "Nobody can be a Democrat and. a prohibitionist. If the venerable principles of Democ racy mean anything, nobody can at the same time advocate personal liberty and then undertake to dictate what some other man shall or shall not drink. The New York World. Cora mentlng on this the New York Tribune says: The experts having thus agreed that no Democrat can be a prohibition ist, and tbe south, where all the Demo crats were, having gone over body, soul and breeches to prohibition, the question "What is a Democrat?" a.p parently has now only an historic in terest. We suggest that It be amended Into "What was a Democrat?" In that form It will go down with "Who struck Billy Patterson" among the melan choly examples of unanswered curios ity. George Meredith, the author and poet, has attained the ripe age of eighty years. That he Is still vigor ous in mind and body and that the fire of patriotism still burns within him with the same unquenchable energy that Is wont to prevail in the hot blood of youth is evidenced by his most recent poem, a magnificent work entitled. "The Call." which is publish ed, In the current Collier's. It Is stirring appeal to Great Britain to keep up her martial strength and there. is a great truth In the last stan za which runs: The grandeur of her deeds recall; Look on her face so kindly fair; This Britain! and were she to fall. Mankind would breathe a harsher air; The nations miss a light of leading rare. With all her faults, Great Britain, during the past couple of centuries has been one of the greatest of com pelling' forces In the spread of a righteous civilization among the four corners of the earth. FLOOD VICTIMS OARED FOR. When the final history of the floods, which have ravaged various portions of Topeka during the past ten days, has been written, there will be one chapter in it, at least, that will be pleasing to contemplate. It will tell In glowing terms of the women and girls who are members of, and associated with, the U. and I. club and the officers of the Provident Association for their ready, efficient and self-sacrificing work in extending much needed succor to those of feeble means who were forced to leave their homes without a moment's notice and seek shelter where they could. Luckily for them the city had an adequate place in the Auditorium, that big and expensive building which some folks are wont to frown on occasional ly, but which has proven a blessing to the people and the city in more ways than one since it was erected. Here the flood sufferers gathered, and in great numbers on Saturday when the Shun- ganunga joined the Kaw in its havoc wreaking efforts. And the members of the U. and I. club and the officers of the Provident Association were on hand to care for them as soon as they ar rived. They were made more comfort able than one would suppose, under the circumstances. Food of good quality and sufficient in quantity, a good por tion of It donated by the liberal res taurant men in the city, was provided. as were cots and bedding. In any num ber of instances clothing was supplied. To many who were forced, for the time being, to accept of this bounty, their stay in the Auditorium for a cou ple of days and nights, has really seem ed to be something in the nature of a picnic. In the adequate care which was given, they seemed to forget their misfortunes of the moment, and a wry face among them was hard to find. There was every reason for wry faces for a good many of these unfortunates had lost their all in the way of house hold goods, or had had them damaged beyond repair. Especially is this true of the residents from the eastern and southern sections of the city who were literally overwhelmed by the sudden and unexpected rise of the Shunga nunga. It will be necessary to care for a good many of these folks for a day or two until their homes can be made habitable again and contributions in the way of clothing of all sorts for men, women, children and babies will be appreciated by those who have worked so hard and with such success to make these vic tims of the flood most comfortable. GOVERXOB HUGHES' VICTORY. Governor Hughes has won a great victory for law and order, not onlyjn New York, but also throughout the country, in forcing the legislature of the Empire state to pass laws which win prohibit betting on horse races at the race tracks as well as in places removed from them. For a number of years an anomalous condition has prevailed In New York concerning the betting on races. It Is forbidden by the constitution of that state. But the legislature a number of years ago passed a hybrid sort of a law which made it a crime to bet on races at any place in the state except at the race tracks. Under this law gambling of tremendous proportions has been in dulged In at the large race courses in the state and also at poolrooms which were run on the sly at other places throughout the state. Governor Hughes determined that this was an evil which should be eradicated and after a tremendous fight against the gambling politicians who abound In New York, and in both of the big political parties there, he has had laws enacted which will stop this gambling. The cry has gone up that racing on the enormous scale with which it is practiced in New York can not be car ried on profitably without betting, for crowds sufficient to support It can not be attracted to the tracks If they are not to be permitted to bet. It remains to bo seen whether or not this is so. But It is far better that racing be killed than that the constitution of New York or any other state be pros tituted for the benefit of a rew big gamblers, who profit huge gains off of hordes of small gamblers. LINCOLN'S POOR PROPHECY. When Lincoln, standine In the Na tional Cemetery at Gettvsburs-. In th autumn of 1863, said, "The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here," he did not fully realize the effect that his words would have. None of his utterances haa hwn widely remembered and quoted than tills snort but telling speech. It con tains but 265 words, and ncrnnlnri In delivery less than three minutes, but it was a most effective composition and win never pass out of the memory of men. A new American line steamship has been named the President Lincoln, and recently a distinguished pomnnnv nf Grand Army men placed a bronze me morial laDiet on the vessel, containing Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. And thus In spite of what Lincoln thought of what he was saying at Gettysburg, the vessal which bears his name win carry the speech back and forth over the Atlantic, and thousands, through thin medium alone, will read the words and note the sentiment of his wonderful utterance. iCty Boys for the Country. On general principles it is not a good thing for boys whose brains ars worked as hard as the modern public school works them to devote their sum mer vacation to farm labor, which is especially severe on unaccustomed muscles. School vacations are not de signed to supply opportunities for earning money, but to provide periods of needed rest, and if conditions were ideal every student would so use his probably too scanty leisure. Conditions are some distance from the ideal, however, and as many city boys simply can not spend their vaca tions in the play that is rest, it is pre iinnnhivwcli that the state agricultural commission is executing a systematic plan under which their boys are at least saved the crudest laoor oi an, which is that of looking for employ ment where every place has a hundred seekers, while by it the farmer, ever complaining at the scarcity of help in his busy season, is provided with the hands to whom he is supposed to be willing to pay good wages. Both boys and farmers are said to have been pleased with the commis sion's experiment as tried last year on a small scale, and certainly work on a farm during the summer months is more like a vacation than work in a shop or office would be. It Is at least a change of scene, with good air to breathe in the daytime as much can not be said for the sleeping rooms of the average farm house and lack of skill will probably prevent the per formance, if not the imposition, of tasks unduly onerous. New York Times. JOURNAL ENTRIES The height of the ridiculous varies according to the feet and inches in men's stature. It is quite as important for a per son not to tell all he knows as it is for him to know anything. The geniuses of today do not, like Dr. Johnson, touch every post they pass. They touch every friend. An interesting contemplation is as to what men would be like if they had the power to make themselves over. Maybe fashions change because of their desires to dodge some of the people who insist on following them. J A Y HAWKER JOTS An Atchison traveling man's favor ite story is that at the poorest country hotels the landlord, in his shirt sleeves and smoking a cob pipe, will say: "Well, did you get everything you wanted?" When the young men in Spring Hill imbibe too freely they indulge in "shirt tail" parades through the rjrln- clpal streets of the town.

A monstrosity in the shape of a calf was born to a common farm milch cow down near Portis recently. The animal had two well developed heads, four eyes, six legs and two tails but could not bear up under the strain, so died before it had a chance to do much good for this world. The own er refused $500 for the carcass of the strange little calf. He.no doubt would have been offered much more for it, had it only lived.

About a month ago Sam Magaw caught a wounded sea gull, while making his rounds on route No. 1, and brought It to town. It had either been shot or flown against a telephone wire, one of Its wings being broken at the first Joint. Mr. Magaw took the bird to Ward's livery barn and Mort Taylor took It home. He am putated the Injured wing at the first Joint and the foreigner seems to be getting along Just as well as though it were in its native home on the coast. He feeds It worms, corn, bread crumbs, etc., and keep a tub of wat er handy for It to play in. The chick ens and pigeons are its only compan ions but it seems contented.

The latest scare comes from London In a dispatch which declares that ugly microbes lurk in playing cards that have been used too often. All sorts of suggestions occur to the reflecting mind in connection with these playing card germs. The char acter of the germs is varied and they reach both the body and moral char acter of their victims. First the hearts are liable to con tain the most germs because they are often selected for trumps in whist games, and if there is one thing for which the average whist player is noted more than for another, it is fru gality with trumps. He will cling to his trumps until the last few tricks, thus subjecting them to Inoger contact with the germ laden fingers. Charles Lamb, the noted writer and wit (1775-1834) once remarked to his partner at whist: "If dirt was trumps, what an invincible hand yours would be!" Now it not infrequently happens that hands, clean before the game, be come decidedly unclean in the process of play. A delicate, well manicured lady, has been known to soil her. hand and arm by hiding an ace up her sleeve. The most innocent beginner has often become tainted within and without by reneging and capturing a trick later by that procedure. The microbe has left the card and, crawl ing along her hand, has entered her very soul. There is no limit to the suggestions contained in the London dispatch and the moral is clear. Buy a new deck and wash your hands, Incidentally giving your soul a scrub, at the end of each game. Wichita Beacon. A NOBLESFIRIT. Sunday a priest was attacked in a Missouri town Just as he finished the morning services. The members of his flock who were filing out of the church saw a man spring upon him from be hind and stab viciously at the father, and the Injuries inflicted may cause death. There is apparently no cause for the crime, and it is the opinion of the people who are In a position to know that the assailant was tempor arily insane. The case is in many respects similar to that of Father Leo Helnrlchs who was killed at the altar of his church in Denver on Easter Sunday. In that case the murderer was a man whoso mind was beclouded with the teachings of death which he had absorbed through his study of anarchistic tracts and books. The men were entire strangers. In the more recent case, the assailant of the priest was a member of his parish, a prominent farmer and one of the most liberal contributors to the church. What caused him to commit the crime remains largely a mystery. It is even a more peculiar case than the Denver murder. But perhaps the most remarkable part of it all was the first utterance of the priest who, stricken from be hind, first thought of the man who had attacked him and said he must have been mad. There should be no effort made to punish the would-be murderer until his sanity had been established, said the priest. He was sure the man who attacked hinv must have been mad. There are not many men who when attacked in this manner would first have asked that mercy be shown their assailant. There Is no nobler spirit than this. Salina. Journal. FROM OTHER PENS BALLOONS AND WARFARE. Interesting experiments are being con ducted by the army officers in charge of the balloon flights that are being taken from this city, to ascertain the freedom with which wireless messages can pass between- a balloon and a ground station. Thus far it has been demonstrated that communication can be maintained in this manner over a considerable distance. While this is an im-portant discovery, far more so will be proof that messages can be sent from a balloon to a ground station. The war balloon is not likely to be developed into more than a means of observing the position of an enemy's forces, and ascertaining his probable strategic plan. Heretofore communica tion has been effected with headquar ters from such balloon by means of flag signals and occasionally by sun flashes. But such signals are subject to the objection that they may be read by the enemy. Wireless communica tion would in all likelihood remain se cret, although even that must be safe guarded by the adoption of reliable "tuning." If it Is found that the bal loon can carry a sending apparatus and maintain uninterrupted communication with the earth the function of the ob servation gas bag is greatly extended. If such an aeroplane as that of the Wright brothers, of whose experiments In North Carolina encouraging reports continue to come, can be developed to the point of safe flight over consider able distances and under complete con trol, it may replace even the wireless balloon. Its low soaring flights at high speed over a field occupied by a hostile force would probably enable the opera tor or a companion to ascertain much of great value. Such a flight of course would be subject to the risk of attack by sharpshooters, but If the present ex pectations are realized the speed of the practical aeroplane of the future may be so great that It will be possible for a daring, skilful operator to send his machine over a wide area covered by hostile forces and return to base before his presence has been sufficiently adver tised alons the line to make him a target. Washington Star. AMERICAN HUSBANDS SAFER. The longer the list of marriages be tween American heiresses and foreign noblemen grows the more certain it becomes that the average results are below the American standard. The proportion of divorces and separations Is higher and the percentage of unmis takably happy families is smaller than in any part of the social world of this country. In fact if the average of shipwrecks in marriage were as for midable in the United States is it Is in the matrimonial ventures which take American girls to Europe to be the mistresses of old castles, palaces and mansions the world would be fill ed with contempt for American men and women alike. It would be said that American civilization was mani festly a failure and foredoomed to de cay, unless it could be reformed radically. But these obvious facts will not pre vent international marriages of the usual kind. The temptations seem too strong to be resisted. Every bride who takes the risk believes that in her case the dangers which have wreexed so many homes will be averted. She thinks that her venture will be of the happy kind seemingly rare. American men of the rich and favored classes are partly to blame for all this. If they were better representatives of the manhood of their own country, in many cases, the titled wooers from abroad would find fewer wives and fortunes In the United States. Cleve land Leader.

"Later I learned from one of the company officials, a German, that the women conductors were giving excel lent satisfaction as being superior in courtesy and honesty, but that they lacked other qualifications, such as to replace the motormen in energencies to handle the machinery, and to eject any passenger for bad conduct or re fusal to pay his fare."

The cheapness of human life in Chicago is made manifest by statistics for the month of April. In this city of more than 2,000,000 inhabitants there were 331 deaths during those thirty days. Of these not fewer than 133 were unnecessary, allowing that every one of the 198 deaths from "natural causes" could not have been prevented by the exer cise of skill. There were 63 suicides, to begin with. Then 23 persons lost their lives through railroad accidents, and 2 were killed, by automobiles. Burns and scalds killed 9. Through falls 27 per sons died and 2 were drowned. There were 17 homicides. When these facts are grouped, they make a shocking record, which should not only Induce every Chi cagoan to be more careful, but also set men to thinking how conditions may be bettered so that murder shall be less frequent and suicide may be less frequently resorted to as a means of escape from life.

THE EVENING STORY Humble Folk.. 'XS By O B. Lewis. In a way they had been engaged for a year or more Tom Salters and Linda Breen. in a way, I say, because the humble people living in the coves or scattered cabins on the sides and crests of the southern mountains do not speak of "engagements." It is taken for granted that when a "young feller" "hangs around" the cabin of a mountaineer possessing a marriageable daughter he has matri mony in view, and when the nearest neighbors are called In to see the cou ple jump the broomstick or stand up before a traveling preacher to be made one, there is no surprise and little comment. The father of Linda Breen had no questions to ask of Tom Salters. He had known his father for years. Tom has as yet no questions to ask of Lin da's sire. Neither Linda nor her moth er had referred to the subject. Some day when Joe Breen and the young man were out hunting squirrels or walking to the village together Tom would suddenly say without preface: "Reckon me'n Linda better git hitched." And the father of Linda would throw away the old quid, bite off another, and after chewing away for a couple of minutes would reply: "Yes, I reckon." That evening the father would have a few words to say to the mother in private, and at a later hour she would casually remark to the daughter: "Tom Salters wants you, and I reck on you'll be goln In a few days." Nineteen times out of twenty the marriage would follow there would be a new squat of land taken up a new pole cabin built, and another family would go on making mountain history But In this case no marriage followed. It was all on account of the arrival of Tom Salter's uncle from a village in the lowlands. He was in business down there and wanted help, so he had come for Tom. Tom had no education, but he had native wit. He was known to be a "right smart" younjr man. The uncle talked of a broader field, a chance for education and a rise in the world. Linda must wait. At the end of a year or two, Tom could come back and marry her and take her away. And in the twilight of a summer's evening Tom and Linda sat on a log in front of her father's cabin, a space of a foot between them. Both looked into vacancy, and he told her of the plan. He talked In a ierky. disjointed way, but she understood as well as if he had been a silver-tongued orator. He had asked for her hand. He meant to marry her. He had no thought of disloyalty. The road seemed straight and plain to him, and he did not dream that there was a knife at ner neart as sne tened. Men will never' understand how far- reaching woman's Intuition is. The girl followed Tom's words, and yet she saw months and months and months ahead of them. Two or three times she Instinctively reached out her hand as If to detain him. but drew it back without his nav ing observed the action. Two or three times there were tears in her eyes, but she took care that he should not see them. "Well, what do you reckon?" he asked as he had finished and the silence had lasted for a long minute. "Better go, reckon," was the reply. What other answer could she have made? A tousled, barefooted, ignorant girl of the mountains, and yet would her woman's pride seek to detain him when he had proposed the They sat together for five minutes longer, and tnen tney separated, sne to enter the cabin and seek its dark est corner to let her tears flow, and he to shake hands with her father and mother and bid them good-by. It may be said of the lovers that both could "write a scrawl or two, ana both could read a scrawl or two," so scrawls passed between them. They were weekly at first, and then there were longer Intervals. If Tom did not write, Linda could not answer. Then one day there came a neighbor who had seen Tom in person in his new field. The speaker did not mean to wound or bruise, but he had seen a new Tom Salters one who was no longer of those on the mountains. He had forgotten the crags and peaks for the streets of the town. When the man nad departed, Linda's mother wanted to look her in the eyes; IJnda wanted to do the same by her mother. Instead of so doing, both turned their heads away. They said nothing of Tom. What happened was all simple and natural. Tom Salters had entered upon a new life. It offered number less attractions to the young man who had never traveled ten miles from the cabin in which he had been born, and it was but natural that he should soon begin to forget the old life and all that he had left behind. His scrawls were Indited at longer Intervals, and finally ceased al together. He came to almost ignore the few mountain men he had known in other days. They looked at his new clothes, noted his speech and walk, and went away shaking their heads. In their opinion this was rank disloyalty to the mountains. By and by there came another mes senger to the cabin in the cove where Linda waited. Again there was no desire to wound and bruise, but simply to impart news. Tom Salters was "shining up" to a handsome young girl down there in the town. He had become almost a gentle man. No matter how smart he had been before leaving home, he had surely become right smarter after his life among townsfolk. He would never return. He would marry and settle down where he was. All this and much more Linda lis tened to with her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands. She sat thus after the caller had de parted, and her mother dared not break the silence. It was Linda her self who broke It at last by lifting her head and quietly saying: "I never reckoned on his comin' back. We hain't goin' to speak of him no mo'." The mother crossed the room and patted the daughter on the shoulder, and the incident was closed. Mr. Breen was not even informed of the gossip. Linda had not sung for months. She began singing now: She had not ram bled from the cabin for weeks. She now began taking long walks. Laugh ter came to her lips once more, and when she stopped at the little postof flee and was told that there was no letter, her smile was not replaced by a look of disappointment. "Linda's forgot about Tom and Is gittin' perter than ever," remarked the father to the mother one evening as they sat alone. The mother did not answer. She looked at him in contempt- As a mother, she knew that Linda was sim i hruklnr her heart. The true wo- I man suffers most when she laughs most. She was watching Linda. There was an undefined fear that the girl's reckless spirit might lead to tragedy. Weeks passed, however, and noth ing happened, nothing except that Linda grew pale-cheeked and thin, and a note of defiance rang in her laughter. She was suffering, and yet defying the pain. Then came a crisis. She was a mile down the mountain road one day. seated on a bowlder where she had of ten sat before, watching the highway winding down Into the lowlands ana the busy world she know not of, when a human figure came Into view,- half a mile below. She recognized it even at that distance. A blush came to her cheek and her eyes flashed. Tom Salters was coming back at last. She saw that he was dressed as she had last seen him. and that he walked with weary sten and delected attitude. Until he was within a quarter of a mile the girl was blushing and trem bling, and ready to raise her band and shout a glad welcome. Then she be- came a thing of stone, except that she moved her eyes to note his prog ress. He did not discover her until he was within a hundred feet. Then he dropped the satchel he was carry ing and sprang forward with her name on his lips. The girl slightly Inclined her head, but there was ice In her look. "And you won't shake hands! You won't howdy! You won't say She motioned to him to sit at her feet, and in a weary, hopeless way he obeyed. He waited a long minute and then In a husky voice began: "I have come back to stay. I was a fool to go away. I was bo'n up yere. an' I might have knowed I wasn't fltten for down there. Mebbe somebody told you that I tried to be one of 'em? Yes. I did. I wore shoes. I wore store clothes. I tried to talk like 'em an' act like 'em, but I wasn't fltten. I thought t 1 might be, but I never could be. Won't you speak to me, Linda?" f "Go on," she replied, still without looking at him. "Mebbe mebbe somebody from up yer told you about about a gal down there? Yes, there was one. I fell In love with her, an' she she made fun of me.' She laughed at me. An, Linda, the fellers mocked me an' put upon me an made game of me. I dun couldn't stand it no mo', an' so I have come back come back to you alL, Won't you speak to me?" For two minutes the girl sat and look ed down the road as she had looked be fore. Then she rose, passed Tom and went up the road went slowly up the road toward home and never looked back. J: Unlearned, unlettered and ignorant of the ways of the world, she had the heart of the highest woman in the land, and she demanded expiation for a lover's disloyalty. Her mother read in her face what bad happened and sim ply put an arm around her and whis pered: "There, there, child by and by." One evening three months later Lin da sat in the moonlight on the same old log at the door. Again her elbows were on her knees and her face in her hands. By and by some one knelt be fore her and lifted her head and looked Into her eyes and said: "Can't you do it now, Linda?" "Yes, I reckon," she replied as she gave her hand. And that, too, was "Just like a wo man (Copyrighted, 1908, by Associ ated Literary Press.) HUMOR OF THE DAY "How quiet the office boy is." "Yes I Just raised his salary.

"Senator Long at the opera house tonight. His famous 40,000 word speech. He will skin the Gazette. Come everyone, and bring a lunch and stay through to the end." This advertisement appeared in the Emporia Gazette Wednesday evening. Everyone went, although no one took a lunch, and everyone forgot hunger,, weariness, and everything else, in lis tening to the arraignment of White. And the skinning he got has not had Its equal in the political history of Kansas since the days of John J. In galls. Mr. White occupied a seat on the platform. Imagine the grief of it: To be compelled to sit before a packed house of one's fellow citizens, and un dergo vivisection. But White didn't how that it hurt; at least, he tried not to. Three times during the un merciful, dramatic and eloquent word lashtng that Long gave him. White anoloelzed. "I was wrong in that." V he ealdr "1 will retract." "You beg Vnv nardOn." retorted Lone. "but manv reotle will still believe that the charge which you have made against me. is true." White then said he would write a I Hospital Tragedies From Constipation.

Long took up one charge after another, and with every proof that he had been accused wrongfully, and every flaying of White for at tacking him, there was applause from the audience. And this audience wras made up of White's fellow townsmen; men he meets every day, and does business with; old friends and neighbors, and the usual sprinkling of enemies that every newspaper man manages to ac cumulate. And they applauded Long to the echo. Imagine what a time he had of It on the streets next day! This is politics. 'The, general opinion seems to "be that Long made a hit In Emporia, and that he greatly increased his chances for re-election as United States sena tor. White is credited with being the manager of Joe Bristow, Long's opponent, and Long charged that White raised $5,000 to put Bristow in the race. White has been -writing let ters to the public prints, attacking Long's record, and Long went to Em poria to answer his charges. And in the encounter, White's friends seem to generally admit that Long got the best of It. Says Long's Backers Are "Leg- Pullers." From the Douglass Tribune. Senator Long's record Is not so bad. He is too smart a man to permit many tnmgs to go or record that might be used against him. He can probably offer a plausible excuse for almost every vote he has cast wherein a rec ord was made of it. But Long's po litical methods are bad, and the gen eral flavor of his political operations is so bad that it should not be per- peiuaiea.' Men who "pull the lee" of great corporations for political pur poses nave oeen supporters and back ers. Men who connive to defeat popu lar expression, ana doctor up delega tions to defeat the wishes of the peo ple are the men whom he has relied upon. It is up to the people of Kan sas right now to say whether they wisn a continuation of such things. The Invitation "Bill'' Accepted. tFrom the Yates Center News. Senator Long made his first sneak ing date in Kansas in Emporia, the home of Bill White, his chief political enemy in the state. Long is no coward and knows that Bill's charges against mm are untrue, ana he asked Bill to sit on the platform while he proved tnem untrue, 'mat's the kind of a man Senator Long is. He knows he is in accord with the riresident and with the great rank and file of the Republicans of his state. Of course he is not in favor with the Holier than Thou crowd. What Wichita Eagle Said. From the Wichita Eagle. SENATOR LONG'S SPEECH AT EMPORIA. In another page of the Eagle will be found a typewritten condensation of the speech of Senator Long at Emporia last night, furnished by the senator's secretary to the nress correspondents This speech is in answer to the vigor ous articles William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette has been pub lishing in criticism of the senator's conduct in congress as a representa tive of the state, and of his attitude towards public policies held to be right by the people. The Eagle is sorry that it could not obtain the speech in full, for the peo ple want every word of what the sena tor says, and would be glad to hear him say it if it were possible. It is hoped that it will be read generally, carefully ana witn as uttie prejudice as possible. If we understand it. Senator Long makes the things in this speech the issue in his campaign for re-election. He says so in the speech. He would not say so if he did not intend them to be. Therefore the speech cannot fail to interest the general reader among the citizenship of Kansas. It will be readily observed that the senator is trying to make the president of the United States his partner in the fight. He intimates that when his rec ord is hit the president of the United States must be hit for approving of it That there is some cleverness in this there is no doubt, for the president is popular in Kansas and the Kansas people do not want to hit him. But Mr. Long insists that if he is guilty of anything tne president la also guilty. B. H. Helm. Harry F. White. J. O. Young. Mr. Finnie. John Carter. C. A. Clive. Julia Eaton. J. R.

Woodburn. -Sue Xj. dinger.- -Hurd Bredel. Krutt Prett This will undoubtedly make the aver age Kansan hesitate as to the object of his brickbats. But he may reason that while President Roosevelt did sign a lot of the things that Mr. Long votea for, he might not have approved them all. It is said that Mr. Roosevelt signs a great many things that do not suit him, because they are the best things he can get. He probably signed a lot of bills passed at the session of con gress Just closed that he would have liked to see made better and would have made better if he had full control of the congress of the United States. And it may be that he approved of every bill Mr. Long voted for, and ap proved of them heartily. Each voter hr the state will reason with hlms'plf some perhaps after the hesitation that Mr. Long's statements will cailSA them what to do in the matter. The record of their senator is available in almost every town and hamlet in the state and they can examine it. The public have great confidence In the president, and If Mr. Long stood for everything he stood for, it will help him materially. Mr. White and Mr. Bristow will surely be heard from in reply to Mr. Long. The people will be anxious to hear from them. Kansans, aa Mr. Long well says, are fair and they will listen to both sides as they ought to do be fore finally making up their minds what their action is to be at the pri maries in August. At any rate they will be interested in Mr. Long's speech at Emporia, and the Eagle regrets that it cannot give the full text of it in this Issue." Says Long Riddled Attack. From the Clay Center Republican. Senator Long in his speech at Em poria, completely riddled the attack made upon his record by William Allen White. He answered every charge in detail, and showed how utterly baseless was tne attacK. ills speech was en tirely free from rancor, but mercilessly exposed the shallowness and insincerity of Bill White's assault. The Emporia editor is now upon the defensive. His connection with the Bristow campaign is shown to be not entirely creditable. A good deal of interest will be aroused as to the identity of the "good angel" who finally came forth with the neces sary $5,000, and Mr." White will have a lot of explanation to make for using as a basis of his charges, a document which he had thoroughly examined. and had characterized as worthless. He has repeatedly assured us that Senator Long is an entirely honest and honorable man, therefore Mr. White will be handicapped In refuting his statements upon these points. Mr, White only criticises 35 votes out of 695. and many of these were given at a time when old Bill was enthusiasti cally supporting and endorsing Mr. Long. The charges were met in detail by the senator, without evasion or equivocation, and the answer leaves little to be said. Mr. White should now write a post script to his famous article entitled "What's the mater with Kansas," and show that one of our troubles Is s plethora of sensational and muckrak ing editors. The manliness and direct ness of Senator Long's reply, will ap peal to the fairminded people of Kan sas, who have little use for backbiting and sandbagging methods in polities, particularly when waged solely in- the THE IDEAL IS DIFFERENT In more pleasing respects than we could print on this page.

"WHAT DID SENATOR LONG MEAN?- "It. is not clear to us why Sepator Long, in his speech at Emporia gave such prominence to the incident of the financiering of General Bristow's campaign.- Senator Long usually prepares his speeches with the utmost care and weighs everything with nice delibera tion. He ia not fond of saying un necessary things, or things that could be turned to advantage by the opposi tion. He was justified, -of course, in showing Mr. White's interest in the campaign and candidacy of General Bristow to lay the exouse for coming to Emporia to answer not Mr. White, the editor, but Mr. White, the cam paign manager of his opponent. But in doing that it was not necessary for him to show that Mr. White is finan ciering the campaign of Mr. Bristow with five thousand dollars. "Supposing Mr. White has put five thousand dollars into the campaign of Mr. Bristow, what does it prove that would advantage -Mr. Long or disad vantage either Mr. White or Mr. Bris tow? It only proves the sincerity of Mr. White and the fact that Mr. Bris tow is a poor man notwithstanding his opportunities to enrich himself as others were doing while he was In the service of the government. Court records prove that while Mr. Bristow was fourth assistant postmaster gen eral contractors were lavishing money bribing officials who had anything to do in the line of giving contracts in the mail service. Mr. Bristow had something to do with the letting of fat contracts and the fact that he has to find a 'good angel' to help him In the campaign now going on is the best possible proof that he was honest; for if he had not been he would have feathered his nest and there would now be no occasion for him to be wanting financial backing for the political en terprise he is engaged fn: "It does not appear anywhere that William Allen White needs a United States senator for the promotion of any private interest. It is generally supposed that he has no interest but the Emporia Gazette and some maga zine writing which Is fairly profitable to him. So far as we can see, he has no use for the services of a United States senator In any of these lines of revenue resources. The presumption must be. therefore, that he is financing the campaign of Mr. Bristow from a viewpoint of public Interest rather than from a viewpoint of private in terest. If that is the case It proves. as above suggested, that ne is tre mendously sincere in nis Deiiei mai tho oieotinn of General Bristow to the United States senate would be a gooa thing for the state. Ana n mu j sincere enough to back his opinions with his money the people are more apt to take his views than they would n tnnn-ar the leadership of a man who would put only 'talk' behind his standard bearer. "Omotnr Txine is a snrewa yumi fes that we can not understand what he tried to reach by proving that Mr. tsnsiuw i- v,i n-n-n fieht. and that Wil- Ham Allen wnite is sincere ci.uus.. his support to invest' five thousand dol lar in money a mighty big sum for a country editor." 1 Has Letter Direct lYom Oyster Bay.

The senator will be a mem ber of the committee on resolutions. We are willing to bank on the presi dent's judgment, also that of Secre tary Taft, and would be glad to see old Wabaunsee line up for Senator Long's re-election. With a United States senator receiving the confi dence of the administration means that he will be able to serve the state creditably and be of great service to his constituency. Frantic Call for Bristow Says Allen. From tne wicniw j Senator Chester 1. Long last night replied to Mr. White, in a i 40,000 words. Mr. White has already retaliated in two scintillating efforts, and not over thirty hours have passed. The substance of Senator Long s guarded and carefully prepared rep is printed eisewnei. y ply is printed elsewhere. Mr. White s reply to Senator Long's reply Is also printed In today's Beacon. The in telligent public should now read. This however, does not constitute a senatorial fight. The. people of Kan sas do not want any sham battle. Mr. White is doing very well presenting the official frailties of Senator Long. Senator Long Is onering piausiuic swers.

Auditorium House Party Draw ing to a Close. One Hundred Forty Given Breakfasts This Morning. MANY ODD INCIDENTS Some Are Amusing as Well as Pathetic. One Woman Objected Because There Was No Cream. From 400 guests for dinner Saturday nignr me rovident Association's week end house party of flood refugees at the Auditorium had dwindled to about 140 for breakfast this morning. Many of these left today and it is expected that the association and the members of the U and I club who have been assisting them win bid the last of their charges godspeed tonight or tomor row. Many DeODle from the flnnrloH districts of South Topeka and Parkdale were able to return home yesterday and if any remain at the Auditorium tonight it will be the 50 or so from North Topeka who were there the first of last week and returned again Fri day night when the Kaw rose for the second time. The Provident Association house par ties have their amusine as well as their pathetic, and tragic sides and to see the motley crow of men, women and children eathered toeether without reference to race or color in the misfit garments given them to replace their wet clothing and waited upon assidu ously by some of the social headliners of the town who would swoon away if they had to cook and wash dishes for their own families is a good show in itseir. .The Sunday, morning break fast party was especially recherche (whatever that may be). Wienewursts, conee and bread were served to be tween 300 and 400 and they do say that some of the members of the Bread Line came up to be served two and three times. One of the women guests was "peeved" because there was no cream for her coffee and expressed her opinion or people who tried to entertain on the cheap. She thought people ought to entertain right or else not try to keep up in society. Turn about is only fair play and one of the ama teur waitresses, served with her own fair hands a woman who had formerly worked in her kitchen. Another mis tress and maid met unexpectedly who had parted only the day before. The latter had explained that she was go in' visltin and' when the former saw her In the Bread Line and the full force of their reversed positions struck her she almost dropped the plate of wiene wursts in her ex-slavey s startled face. Among those "assisting through the rooms," as the S.

Bristow .and Stubbs may not be one bit better for-U. S. senator and gov ernor than Long and Leland are for the places.' They may not be as good. But representative, government, absolutely representing the people and the state, is better than machine power tied up to the "interests" that have furnished the money, and everybody knows it. Douglass Tribune. It Is strange how Senator Long can so adroitly -deceive President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. They seem to nave great confidence in him and always in vite the senator to their special con ferences. Can it be possible that W. A. White is trying to fool the people in this matter because he wants to land his friend Bristow Into office. Mr. White is a great writer and has a happy faculty of making white look black, but the Telepscope is inclined to believe in this case that the people of Kansas will prefer to take the word of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft to that of Mr. White as to Senator Long's position. Belleville Telescope. Senator Long's Emporia speech reads very much like a lawyer's defense of Wall street and Wall street interests. El Dorado Republican. We -notice that Senator Long of Kan sas, attended the Republican national convention platform conferences at the White House at the Invitation of Pres ident Roosevelt and our next president, Secretary Taft. And we also notice that Senator LaFollette wasn't present, and wasn't Invited to be present, and yet we have in Kansas Mr. Stubbs and others who are trying to defeat Mr. Long because he doesn't suit Mr. La Follette. Well, he seems to suit Presi dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft and that is far more Important to Kan sas Republicans.

The Illustration shows a good model for a linen, chambray or pongee gown for a young girl. The original gown from which the sketch was made was of pale pink linen, with a detachable guimpe of embroidered mulle. The bodice was laid in stitched plaits, and the little revers on either side of the front plait were braided at the edges with white and pink soutache. Smail buttons of pink linen embroidered In white were also used. A Topeka chap who was left high and dry on the beach a few months ago, and has been "looking around ever since he came to. now seems to have lit again and it looks, at this stage of the game, like another bad case of hammockitis. The Mean Old Atchison Globe is jeal ous, sore and peeved becausee two To- peka women are attracting attention in Chicago where they have not yet learned that Atchison is on the map. This is what the Globe says: The rivalry between the candidates for president and vice president is as mild as the harvest moon compared with the rivalry for supremacy in Chicago be tween two Topeka women: Mrs. David Mulvane and Mrs. Chauneey Depew, (Note: The Globe always calls It De pew. What Is fame?) Though they came from that little propped-up town on the Kaw, they have taken complete control of the committee meetings pre liminary to the gathering of the Re publican national convention,. -and the fate of the country lies in the hands of one of them. But which?' Mrs. Mul vane came to Kansas from New York, and this gives her some distinction. To come from New York, out here in Kansas, is regarded as something won derful. No native Kansan ever had the audacity to oppose anyone who came from New York. On the other hand Mrs. Chauneey Depew is a bride and her gowns are newer, and she is some years younger than her rtvaM The Chicago papers are filled with descriptions of the gowns worn by these women wire-pullers, to the ex clusion of what goes into the plat form. For instance, Mrs. Mulvane has a cream net gown over pale blue chif fon, cut low in the neck, which helps her in manipulating the Republicans. When she wears it, they fall dead around her, waiting to do her bidding. She has only to command and they obey. But Mrs. Dewey! Oh, that we knew some of those names in the dry goods advertisements so that we could describe a dress she wears, which draws every committeeman away from the side of Mrs. Mulvane. Topeka is so absorbed in the struggle between these women for possession of the reins and the whip, that she is neglecting to mop out her dooryard. Wild-eyed, and breathless, all interest centers In Chi cago.

Two Topeka girls had the Grandest Time, the other day.- They took all the visiting cards off the hall table and had a knockfest with the original owners of the cards as subjects. The rule was to say something disagreeable about every one. But they found one card which had been left by a girl who is so sweet and likeable that they could only think of one thing to knock her for: because she didn't like a certain man they like. The visitinsr card nar- ty is really easier and just as much fun as a city directory party.

The floods in North and South and East Topeka Jrlng lqrcitJX o us ine problems of draining and protecting the lives and property of a large por ind property or a large por- tlon of onr citizens, the problem can not be put off or ignored any longer. Some dennlte policy must be adopted at once to restore confidence and give stability to values of property in the flooded district if we expect our city to continue to prosper. We have had sufficient warning In the past to make the present disasters almost a case. of criminal negligence excusable only on the grounds of lack of knowledge as to the best methods of furnishing the absolute protection required. Assuming It to be a lack of know ledge I take the liberty to suggest methods that are entirely practical. In the case of North Topeka five years ago I suggested that we build a dyke three feet above flood line of that year and 0 feet wide on top with flat slopes all the way around North Topeka; the points coming in contact with the current of the river and creek could be rip raped with rock and the high embankments could if considered necessary, have an 8 or 10 Inch concrete core through the center extending from the natural earth up. This would make North Topeka abso lutely safe against any flood equal to the one of 1903. This should be made a drive way so any deterioration would be immediately noticed and repaired, had this been done then the last two disasters would have been prevented and it should be done now without any delay. Some have expressed doubts as to the stability of earthen dykes. To those I would cite the gov ernment levees some 50 feet high and not near as wide on top as the one proposed along the Mississippi river. also the numerous embankments by .corporations, individuals and railroads Tor impounding waters In the arid dis tricts which hold the water the year around and sometimes 25 or 35 feet deep. They are made of earth and many of them the same kind of ma terlal we have In the Kaw bottom, in fact, all over the world you will find earthen dykes, they are no experi ment, they are as old as man him self. In the case of South and East To peka where they are flooded by Shunganunga and Blddle creek a good substantial overflow ditch running from Kansas avenue bridge and emptying Into Deer creek where It comes out of the hills would shorten the Shunganunga about three miles and increase the carrying capacity from four to eight times, dependent on fall, width and depth and the same ditch would take care of Blddle creek. The dyking of North Topeka would cost probably seventy-five or eighty thousand dollars, the ditching of Shunganunga and Biddle creek would probably cost fty or sixty thousand dollars and these drainage problems properly belong to the city at large as much so aa the grading of streets and the payment for paving street intersections and should be taken care of by the city at large. But In conclusion I would suggest that the city form Itself Into a drain age district and co-operate with the various drainage districts in and around the city that have already made appropriations and provide the necessary surplus funds to assist In carrying out these Improvements.

Lets It Be Known TTiat He Doesn't Want the Vice Presidency. Chicago, June 15. At today's meet ing of the Iowa delegation the follow ing letter from. Senator-Dolliver-was received: Fort Dodge, la., June 13 1908. Hon. George D. Perkins, chairman Iowa delegation, Chicago. Dear Sir I desire to call your at tention to a political matter referred to in your note of June 7. I have taken it for granted that the talk of nominating me for the vice presidency was mainly a newspaper report. I have had some little experience in these vice presidential booms and therefore have given little attention to it. I desire, however, that you as chairman of the Iowa delegation should be fully advised aa to my views in respect to the matter. Now in the the first place this Is an office which I do not desire. I have no ambition in that direction. My ambitions are altogether in serving our people from my place in the sen ate, and I could not enter upon this candidacy without a great sacrifice of my personal inclinations and of my interests as well. I do not underrate the dignity of the office and, of course, this honor of being asociated with Mr. Taft in the campaign is not one to be treated lightly. Notwithstanding these con siderations I feel that my duties lie in the other direction. I can render the party Just as good service on the stump as if I were on the ticket. "There are considerations also of a political character local in our state which it seems to be are almost per emptory In indicating my duty.- "I feel that our delegation should be Informed of my attitude in this mat ter. "You have my full authority to take such action as may be thought neces sary to withdraw my name from con sideration in connection with this of' fice if such consideration is found to be seriously contemplated. "Very truly yours, "J. P. DOLLIVER." No action was taken by the delega tion with regard to the letter. It was received and read as an expression of Senator DolUver's personal inclination in the matter, but there was a general feeling that if the delegates should finally decide to present Senator DolU ver's name they could find a way to do so. Frank P. Woods, chairman of the Republican state committee of Iowa arrived, today with a number of promi nent men of the party outside of the delegation and began vigorously to pro claim the candidacy of Senator Dolli ver. -The Alllson-Dolllver delegates from Iowa do not take any more kindly to the suggestion said to emanate from the White House at Washington that Governor Cummins might be nomina ted for vice president than that Sena tor Dolliver might be given the place, but their reasons are different. They do not take kindly to the idea of con ferring this honor upon him and they say if nominated many members of this faction would on that account refuse to support the national ticket. "UNCLE JOE" ARRIVES. He Goes to Chicago to Fight the Anti In junction Plank. Chicago. June 15. A sensation was caused last night by the unexpected arrival in Chicago of one of the presi dential candidates, "Uncle Joe" Can non. He arrived' from- Danville late Sunday, afternoon, going to the Union League club where he was soon in conference with some of the most prominent leaders of congress, includ ing Sereno E. Payne of New York, chairman of the committee on ways and means; Mr.- Dalzell of Pennsyl vania, the ranking member of that committee; Representative Overstreet of Indiana, Representatives James Sherman of New York, who has the congressional backing for the vice presidency; Richard Kerens of Mis souri, and a number of delegates from Illinois, Missouri and other states. It soon developed that Speaker Can non's coming was in connection with the platform and that a very brisk contest on some of the planks was in prospect. When Mr. Cannon was here the other day he learned in a general way the main features of the existing draft and did not feel that they pre sented any serious obstacles. How ever, the arrival of some of the con gressional leaders developed the fact that the socalled anti-injunction plank contained certain features which were regarded as quite opposed to the declaration made at a recent caucus of the Republican members of the house upon that subject. Mr. Cannon was called on the long distance tele- phone and the platform situation was discussed with him. The speaker's views on this sub ject were outlined to his friends to night as being Identical to those ex pressed two years ago when he said In opening the congressional campaign: "Speaking for myself, I had rather quit public life now and at the age of seventy quit forever, true to the civilization we have developed, true to the distribution of powers to the legislative, the executive and the judiciary which are a check upon one another, than to retain public office at such a sacrifice to my own respect and such terrible cost to the country. While God gives me life to live I will not by my act take from any citizen, be he rich or poor, union man or non-union man, farmer or mechanic, doctor or lawyer, any right which Is givenvto another. I will not vote for any law which will make fair for one and foul for another." Did Not Go to Headqpuarters. The presence of the speaker in Chi cago was not generally known except among the congressional leaders. He did not appear at the Cannon headquar ters but spent all his time in an upper chamber of the Union League club where a steady line of prominent lead ers took their turn in conferring with him. Mr. Cannon was in Ms usua good nature but he did not disguise, the fact that he was very deeply in terested in this platform plank and would do what he felt the circum stances required to see that a consist ent course was pursued. One of his intimates said: "When the speaker was here the oth er day it was understood that the pro posed injunction plank was of a com paratively mild nature. It now ap pears that as finally drafted it pur ports to express confidence In the courts, but then provides that no in junction shall issue without notice un less the court Is satisfied that irrepara ble damage will be done. This is al ready the clear provision of the United States statutes. Why. therefore. Is it necessary to incorporate statute law into a national platiormy it wiu mere ly Invite controversy and will inferen tiallv tend to discredit the judiciary. Our opponents have done that in their platform and we ao not want to repeat their mistakes." When the presence of the speakeo came to the knowledge of those who are in charge or the platform it was oolnted out that he had not tne aa i vantage of seeing the text of the plank This Store Will Be Oben, This Santa Fe Checks Will Be Cashed.

He Is Fighting Hard to Eliminate In junction Plank From Platform. Chicago, June 15. Can Speaker Can non eliminate the injunction plank from the Taft platform? .This question and the inability of any one to answer It presented the platform problem of the day. The speaker himself is In doubt as to his ability to erase or even modify the plank, but this fact only serves as a stimulus to the efforts he is mak ing. His active lieutenants in the fight are the "congressianal coterie." Arguments against the plank are be- J j gress to prospective members of the resolutions curciiiunee.

Chicago, June 15. Congressman Her bert Parsons sent a sharp telegram to Governor Hughes this morning, in which he said that the nomination of Secretary Taft' was now practically as sured and that Governor Hughes was practically out of the running. He ad vised the governor that there was. a general feeling that New York would be accorded the vice presidency if a suitable name were presented from that state, but so long as the delega tion was bound by their obligation to Governor Hughes, it was Impotent to secure the recognition to which it was believed New York was entitled. He called attention to the language of the resolution instructing the delegation to vote for Governor Hughes until he was nominated or he withdrew, the Intima tion being that the delegation was pow erless to act unless Governor Hughes should withdraw. Chiraaro June 15. There was a rumor also that ex-Mayor Low had been in communication with Governor Hughes on the subject. Both Frederick J. Has ard. of Syracuse, who was named as a delegate on the governor's suggestion and Mr. JjOW denied that they had communicated with Mr. Hughes.

Three Thousand Tents Leveled and 100 Horses Stampeded. Seven Miles of Territory Devas tated by Wind and Rain. New York, June 15. Pine Plains, the concentration camp of the federal soldiers and national guardsmen was torn up from one end to the other of its seven miles of territory yesterday by the most severe wind and rain storm that has visited that section for yers. Three thousand tents were blown down and shelters were leveled and more than 100 horses stampeded and escaped from their corrals. It was the soldiers first drill of the summer season of maneuvers, but it was not of the kind anticipated. The storm came up with little warning. The six thousand soldiers in the company streets had hardly began to strengthen their tent fastenings when the wind tore across the plains from the east and carried practically everything be- fore it. In some streets every tent was levelled. Paymaster John S. Mallorv was paying off the Twelfth United States infantry, when the storm descended. He had arranged the money in heaps of bills, preparatory to distributing them. Attempts to get the money back into the strong boxes were un successful and in a moment the air was full of currency. Bills of many denominations were afterwards found scattered over a territory of a mile or more and probably the greater part 01 me money win db recovered. WORST IS OVER. (Continued from Page One.) moved floating obstructions and drift. Depot Almost Abandoned. The Missouri Pacific, Wabash and Chicago Alton are still using the Union station as they enter the train sheds from the higher grounds to the east. The Santa Fe, Frisco and Chi' cago, Milwaukee St. Paul were the last to abandon the western approach to the station and they are using the depot at Twenty-second and Grand avenus today. The continuation of the flood is hav Jng a damaging effect on many of the older brick buildings In the flooded districts.- Some structures are being undermined and doubtless will be condemned as unfit for further ocou pancy. All of the packing houses ex. cept Fowler's are surrounded by deep water, and Fowler s plant is not en tirely flooded. The packing- com smopelitaiii ECam sas panies have taken every precaution to save their plant from damage and their greatest loss will result from their suspension of operations. The water has done all the damage that is in. its power. The railroad yards have been evacuated; the pack ing houses and business establish ment.

The- Union Atatinn la ctm water and will be safe even If the rise is 18 inches more. The railroads are all moving trains with difficulty, being "u"bcu iu uciuur in every direction. Officials and husinMa men n I'L UUHl Kansas Citys express a determination to put an end to the annual floods. The great difficulty has been that the two states, two city governments, the Unit ed States government, three counties ana numerous interstate railroads are involved. During the past year the United States has declared the Kaw a navigable stream. This gives the war department authority to order removal of the Union Pacific and Missouri Pa cific low bridges which obstruct the river ana cause overflow of Armour dale and the stock yards at every high water. Any scheme of raising the banks of the Kaw would involve elevat ing the railroad tracks. One measure proposed is to cut a canal across the point of land where the Missouri makes its big bend to the east. This canal would carry the Missouri overflow from a point above Kansas City to a point several miles below. The city officials of the two Kansas Citys are co-operating in steps to control the rivers. The east bottoms of this city are inundated from the overflow of the Missouri river. The Kansas City Southern railway kept a large force of men at work all night, building a sand dyke for a distance of two miles along its tracks. The workmen kept ahead of the rise of the river and the dyke will be effective unless an unex pected rise of the river occurs The Missouri Pacific took the same pre cautions to protect its property. Rising at Omaha. Omaha, Neb., June 15. The Missouri river continued to rise Sunday and last night and this morning was three Inches above the flood stage.

None of the stores where the goods had been moved back after Tuesday's flood were damaged, but the proprie tors as far south as this side of the U. P. depot had prepared for it even more thoroughly than on the first of the week. The sunshine this morning was never so welcome. It warmed up the most despondent ones into activity. The re sumption will be much slower this week than it was last, but as soon as the river gets well within its banks and the weather gets settled and clear. the great majority of North Topeka people will return to their own again. The Union Pacific has a large force of men at work on the breaks in the tracks to the west. There is a lot of work to do out there. The track lb badly washed out at the coal chutes. A worse break is that at the point just west of the tie treating plant, while still beyond this break is another still worse at the Norris farm, where the water cut a channel ten feet deep and over 100 feet wide. This is the place where the river threatened to return to its old channel. There is no doubt whatever that had the river raised Sun day to its stage of 28 feet on Tuesday it would have done far more damage in North Topeka. The water would have been higher in the town than it was before. The channel up above had been cut in the other flood and the water flowed to the north and threat ened to leave its bed for the old chan nel at the Norris farm. A rise of four feet would have been a serious matter. Railroad Situation Improves. The' problem of running trains which has been puzzling the local rail roads for the past week seems to be brightening a little. The high waters to the west are receding rapidly and the trouble now rests with the yards in Kansas City and adjacent suburbs. As soon as these conditions change all the roads will be in position to resume their normal train service. During the past twenty-four hours there has been but little change in the local train service. All the lines ex tending west from Topeka excepting the Union Pacific are in good condi tion and regular service is being main tained. Frisco Only Line in Use. The Santa Fe this afternoon opened up the Lawrence-Ottawa branch and the time between Topeka and Kansas City is reduced many hours. Ftom To peka the trains run to Lawrence, thence ROUttl tn Ottnwa and rwa-v Olathe from where they run into Kan sas v-ny over me jptisco. No. 10 this afternoon was the first train to make this run. This line will be the main line to Kansas City until the water goes down in Kansas City and Holli day. The Frisco from Olathe to Kan sas City is the only line this after noon over which trains from the west can enter Kansas City. The Santa Fe expects to be able to get a closer route to Kansas City some time today. The line between Law rence and Ottawa, which had to be temporarily abandoned is being put into condition, and it is thought that the trains will be running to Kansas City via this route before night. This will reduce the time between Topeka and Kansaa City by several hours The lines between Topeka and St Joseph are all in service today. The Santa Fe got through yesterday with out trouble although the water in the Delaware river at Vallev Falls is high. Bridge on The Rock Island line to St, Joseph was opened today., r 1 The Union Pacific tracks west of Topeka are out of service.. and the trains are running to Manhattan over the Rock Island; A big washout took place just this side of Manhattan where the Blue broke over the right of way. It will probably be several days before the road will be repaired and the trains running over this line. None of the roads will venture any opinion as to when regular service will be re-established. As soon as the water goes down at Kansas City the roads will be about ready. The Union Pacific is working on their tracks between here and Kansas City and the Rock Island is offering as sistance. The Santa Fe is in good condition and can run immediately with the subsiding of the water The water is all around the Union Depot in Kansas City and this build ing has been abandoned. All the trains are now stopping at the Grand avenue depot. Going Down Up the River. Manhattan, June 15. The Kaw river measured 18.4 feet this morning and is falling slowly. Wamego, June 15. (By Independent Phone.) No rain has fallen at this point since Friday and the river has fallen steadily all day though the fall has been very slow for some reason. Rossville, June 15.

Tliose Breaks in River Rank. There are two breaks in the Kansas river bank above Topeka. The first of these is Just above the tie treating plant and the other and larger breach is near the Updegraft farm which is just east of the road which led to the old brick plant bridge, which was wrecked by the 1903 flood. This is where the river bends southeast to ward Topeka. The channel which the river now flows through cuts out the bend entirely and reaches Soldier creek just .-below Garfield park. Whether this is deep enough to divert the main channel is not vet known, but It is believed it is not and that when conditions become normal the waters will again flow in the old channel. STREET CARS TO PARK. Horses Are Being Used on North i Side. Street car service to Garfield park was re-established this afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the face of the fact that 1,000 feet of car track immediately north of Morse street is covered with water to a depth of 30 inches in places. The depth of the water makes it impossible to operate elec tric cars and for a while this portion of the line will be operated by horse or mule power "People in the vicinity of Garfield park are clamoring for a means of reaching their homes without wading the body of water intervening between Garfield park and Morse avenue," said Superintendent Patton, "and we are going to do our best to serve them. We do not like to be compelled to go back to horse car service, but it seems that this is the only way we can operate cars on this line for the pres ent." New York Sugar anJ Coffee.

Call on Iowa Statesman Request ed at Washington. X w Believed Ti-at Senator Dol liver Wants I the Nomination. A Chicago dispatch says: Republi can leaders manifested much concern today when Senator Long of Kansas reached town and continued to boom Senator Dolliver for vice president. Long came direct from Fbrt Dodge, la., where he had' a conference last night with Dolliver. While he would not admit that he had been commis sioned by the White House as an emis sary -to sound Dolliver 1 he admtted that Taft had asked him to see the Iowa senator. Senator Dolliver, Whom Long Booms ior. vice .fresiaent. That Dolliver is willing to stand for the nomination providing it can be Drought about in the right way, is evi denced by the fact that Long, fresh from the conference, continued to boom him. All of the Iowa politicians are against the proposition. They say it will tear up politics in that state. They have just gone through a bitter factional fight. To go through another in the selec tion of a senator to succeed Dolliver might endanger the Republican ticket, state and national, in November, and result In the election of two Demo cratic senators. They have pleaded with Long all day to quit and have also bombarded the White House at Washington with protests by wire. Still the Dolliver boom goes on. It Is well known to most of the men high up in public life that Senator Dolliver is not particularly in ease with his present job. He dislikes the hauling and pulling that goes with the routine grind of a United States sen ator. His ambitions run to the lecture platform, and from an advertising standpoint the vice presidency is bet ter than a senatorship. Senator Long admitted that his in terview with the Iowa senator was very satisfactory, and told the Dolli ver boomers to keep up their lick. The only way the boom can be check ed is by orders from Roosevelt or Taft or a flat declination from the Iowa senator himself. Dolliver will reach here today. Congressman McGuire of Oklahoma got behind the Sherman boom for vice president today. Just as soon as Lit tauer of New Tork placed it in motion. "Sherman is very popular in Okla homa," said McGuire. "As the chair man of the house committee on Indian affairs he has been in close touch of the eastern end of the state for many years. He has always stood for pro gressive legislation for the Indians, and to him is due most of the credit for the recent legislation removing re strictions in the five tribes. "Although Dolliver is a western man, if the fight comes down between him and Sherman, I believe the Oklahoma delegation will go solidly for Sherman. We don't need a western man to carry our section. Taft will do that. Sher marL would strengthen the ticket in New Tork and there is where it needs strengthening." Through the influence of D. W.

If he does he is satisfied that Curtis will give it to h m and take the chairmanship of the dele gation. At the Topeka meeting Long was chosen as chairman, and Curtis for the resolutions committee. This action was taken without consulting the two senators.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAIr- IIOITD AY CVEirPTQ, JUNE 15, 1903 n 1 1 1 FIGHTS DOLLIVER Iowa Delegation la Unalterably Opposed to Him V As a Nominee for. the Office of Vice President. LONGIS WEAKENING. Kansas Senator's Enthusiasm Checked by the Opposition. Choice Appears to Be Narrow ing Down to Sherman. Iowa Is Afraid Cummins Would Enter the Senate. Chicago, June 15. The presidential ticket makers took up the question of the vice presidency today at the point at which they had left It last night, but there was an appreciable falling off In the talk for Senator Dolliver. The Iowa men who are opposing his nomination were out earlier and giving their undivided attention to heading oft the boom of their senator. They were soon joined by former Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who sought out Senator Lodge before the latter had finished his breakfast and Immediate ly began a vigorous remonstrance against further efforts in Dolliver's be half. He went directly to the point. "You don't want another La Fol lette In the senate, do you?" he asked. "Well then," he added, "don't open the way for sending Cummins to the senate as you will do if you cause Dolliver to vacate his seat there. Yes," he went on, "we might vote for Dol liver if he were nominated, but we are going to see to it that he is not nominated; It must not be." For the first time since he arrived from Fort Dodge last Saturday, Sena tor Long today manifested a disposi tion to weaken in his advocacy .of the Iowa senator. He did not say in exact words that he would continue his ef forts, but he did express sympathy with the Iowa Republicans and he was by no means so determined as formerly In pressing the claims of his friend. It was asserted by others that before the close of the day Dolliver would put himself In communication with his boomers and that he would positively say that he would decline the nomination if tendered. The in dications now are that he will not have to go to so great an extreme, but a simple request from him will be sufficient to induce them to curb their efforts in his behalf. With Dolliver out of the way the contest narrows practically to Fairbanks and Sherman, with Fairbanks declaring emphatically over the Ions distance telephone that he will not accept second place If ten dered him. Fairbanks Won't Take It. Senator Hemenway Is his spokes man here and he said: "I. have stated a thousand times that "the vice president would not ac1 cept If nominated. I can only reiter ate and that I do with all the empha sis at my command." Mr. Fairbanks's friends say that there will be a revulsion of sentiment against what they characterize as the present policy of dictating the national nominees from Washington and they contend that If he holds himself su perior to present Inducements and maintains a dignified position of oppo sition to this plan he will be most eligible for the first place four years hence. They admit, however, that the vice president would be placed in an embarrasing position by the tender of the nomination. Among those on the ground who are urging his 'candidacy are the Republican candidates for state offices in Indiana, Including the gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Watsoni They are representing the necessity of naming Mr. Fairbanks in the interest of themselves and the party in that state. New York's effort to get together on a candidate .for the vice presidency is Interesting. Although the delegation was to meet before noon, there was no expectation that the matter of a. vice presidential choice would be directly considered by the caucus. The situation was peculiar.- Long since a portion of the New York dele gates abandoned hope of actually ac complishing the nomination of Gover nor Hughes for the presidency, but General Woodford, one of the delegates at large, has made It plain that no probable combination of circumstances can prevent the presentations of Gov ernor Hughes' name, even if every oth er candidate but Taft should with draw. Out for Two Places. This being the case and the interest in the vice presidential candidacy of Representative James S. Sherman, of Utica, steadily increasing among the New York delegates, the state was ap parently placed in the position of de manding both places on the ticket. The realisation of this strange position of affairs, forced a halt on the part of Mr. Sherman's friends, and It was not difficult to secure their acquiescence In the decision to defer any formal action on the subject of the vice presi dency until the Hughes matter has been finally disposed of. The Hughes men before entering the caucus took the position that, they would co-operate in any effort to unite the delegation on a candidate for vice president, provided there was a united effort in the vote for Hughes on the first ballot for president. To the har monizing of this situation the state leaders, therefore, devoted their atten- Rellable Dentistry Our success is due to high grade workmanship and best materials at reasonable prices.

So delicate was the condition that when the caucuses met today there was practically no Idea that it would consider at all, at least formally, the question- of a vice presidential candi date. -Delegates from New England states including Indiana, gave the New York state men the idea that latent strength was available for the backing of a New York state vice presidency if only New York could harmoniously decide, who it was to- be. An augury in this direction was the disposition oh nearly every hand before the caucus to avoid controversy over the minor matters of committee assign ment." Before the caucus convened it was the general belief there would af ter all be no opposition to the choice of State Chairman Timothy L. Wood ruff of Brooklyn, as chairman of the delegation, of Representative E. Payne of Auburn, as member of the commit tee on resolutions, or of William L. Ward, of West Chester, to succeed him self as member of the' national com mittee. There had been early promise of a warm fight on all three of these matters. .FIGHT OX THE PLATFORM. Opposition to It as Drawn May Be Carried Into the Convention. Chicago, June 15. Pressure' for platform modification has Increased to such an extent that the Taft forces plainly see a contest, on the resolutions in tho convention which promises to be both tenacious and prolonged. This pressure has so far. only increased the determination of 'those directing theTaft movement to assume a. more unyielding attitude. i "If we are to have. Taft for the candidate we are, going to have a Tatt platform," is the ultimatum. This Taft platform, a is well known, has been written. It is in the custody of Wade H. Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, who has taken up his quarters for the convention at the Auditorium Annex. Every plank of this platform is declared to have rer ceived the most detailed and weighty attention, and the prediction is made that every plank will remain in the document and in the language in which It Is now expressed,-with some possible changes in verbiage.- However stern may be the declara tion against modification, there is not the slightest disposition to refuse to listen to those who want revision, and this has been the task of Mr. Ellis. Incidentally, It may be stated that both President Roosevelt and Secre tary. Taft have been kept informed minutely as to the developments. The platform contains an expression of the belief that a more liberal rule should be adopted by the courts in applying the injunction process in labor disputes. This plank Is not liked by some members of the party. The elimination of any expression on the subject would meet with their hearty approval. President Van Cleave of the Na tional Manufacturers' association urged the rejection of this Injunction plank with great earnestness. His arguments were listened to by Mr. Ellis, who called Senator Long (of Kansas) into conference. The plank was favored by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who was later given an opportunity to be heard. It may be stated upon authority that this plank will not be changed with the consent of Secretary Taft. Mr. Gompers as a result of the con ference of the officials of his organiza tion just Concluded "liere," also pre sented to Mr. Ellis definite proposals intended to pledge the party to future action which would free labor or ganizations from the legal designation and responsibility of trusts. Another point of issue is on the plank which sets forth the benefits which would accrue to the country through federal supervision or Inspec tion of the issuance of stocks and bonds of corporations doing an inter state business. This plan makes it possible for the declared representative of the corporation to make dire He dictions as to the result of the election if the plank is allowed to remain, but it will not be disturbed. There is in the platform a declara tion in the interest of the Philippines, which expresses the belief that good would come from an arrangement which would permit of the free inter change of commodities between the far eastern dependencies and the United States, with a restriction that such interchange shall not be allowed to adversely affect any industry, such for instance as sugar and tobacco. Senator Carter conferred with the framers of the platform on the ad visability of inserting a plank in ad vocacy of postal savings banks, with the result that he received practical assurance that It would be inserted. Some of the banking interests are opposing the declaration but it is be lieved to afford the best offset for the Democratic contention for the guar antee of bank deposits. The president and Secretary Taft have both endorsed i the savings bank idea. With these and other expressions of policy which are for the first time be coming known to the "opposition," in terest in the document is increasing and as the framers of the document are determined in their attitude, there is prospect of a fight on the floor of the convention.. PLANKS Ir CONTENTION". Antl-Injuction and Tariff Clauses as They Stand Now. rMnJ?i.Ca;Une, 5;-Tne anti-Injunction Paw Ltht Patfo"n as passed upon in Washington is as follows- "We declare for such an amendment of the statutes of procedure In the fed eral courts with respect to the use of writ of Injunction as will, on the one hand, prevent- the summary issue of such orders without proper considera tion, and on the other will preserve undiminished the power of the -courts to enforce their process, to the end that justice may be done at all times and to all Parties." Over this plank there is a very sharp contest, the labor leaders arguing for its adoption, and hundreds of telegrams are pouring in from manufacturers and other employers of labor opposing the measure. Following Is the tariff revision plank proposed by the Taft people: "The Republican party declares un equivocally for a revision of the tariff by a special Session of congress imme diately following the work assigned to the. appropriate committees and com mends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the com mittees of the two houses which are now Investigating the operations and effect of existing schedules. "In all tariff legislation the true prin ciple ot protection is best maintained by the Imposition of such duties as will eqhal the defense between the cost of production at home and abroad to gether with a reasonable, profit to American industry and the benefits that follow are best secured by the es tablishment of maximum and minimum rates to be administered by the presi dent under limitations fixed by the law the maximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign countries against American goods entering their markets and the minimum to represent the normal measure of protection at m JIISCELLAMOUS IDS.

"Between the United States and Phil ippines we believe in a free Interchange of products with such limitations as to sugar and tobacco as will avoid injury to domestic interests." DalzeU Is for It. Representative Dalzell, who will be the Pennsylvania representative on the platform committee, said today that with some verbal changes the plank would be entirely satisfactory to him. This announcement is considered as Important in view of the prominence of Mr. Dalzell on the house committee on ways and means and his position as a "stand patter" and a tariff expert. "I shall adopt the pronouncement here made," he said, "with slight alter ations, and shall make no protest. I recognize the fact that the time has come when there must be a revision of the tariff and appreciate that some thing must be said on the subject at this time." Mr. Dalzell declined to say what mod ifications he would insist upon, but he indicated that he felt satisfied that he would get them. The. framers of the platform admitted that they were pre pared to make changes in the language of the plank, which would not disturb the general announcement of principles made in the original draft. They also declined to specify the changes to be made. IT IS CALLED DIXIELAND. Grand Pacific Slielters Nearly All the Southern Delegates. Chicago, June 15. The Grand Pacific hotel has been given the name of "Dixieland" by the mass of delegates because of the number of southern. dele gates, who are stopping there. The majority of the Alabama people have been there or a week. Missouri came yesterday-and the Carolinas last night, while today came South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Tex as. The colored men from Florida, many of whom .made an unsuccessful contest before the national convention were still strong In their determination to plead their cause before the com mittee on credentials. They held sev eral "conferences theis forenoon, but re fused to say whether they had addi tional evidence to support .their case. Most of the leaders of the southern delegates were about the corridors early rounding up their- men for the caucuses. There were very few con tests for places on convention commit tees or for national committeeman so that in many cases the slates were made up by the party leaders and sub mitted for ratification.

Health and happiness greet those who are treated by natural methods. STRANGE, ISN'T IT that any man or woman would for a moment consider the old ways of treating when my new discoveries are positively known to do things entirely beyond the conception of the old time doctors, who are today prescribing the same blue mass pills, belladona plasters or qui nine for any and every disease, and clamor loud for "operations." No matter how slight the disorder they urge the use of the knife. They are giving their patients statements as facts about the "nonsense" of natural methods, yet they have never investigated the subject, or perhaps never even talked to a person who had tried natural methods for the cure of dis eases. Do not take the advice of some narrow-minded individual who knows absolutely noth ing about advanced systems for the cure of disease, but consult an honest doctor who will give you an honest opinion and cure you.

The American Colony in Paris Made a Killing on the Blue Ribbon Event. Paris, June 15. Thousands of Americans Sunday say W. K. Vander bilt's bay colt Northeast, with J. Childs up, capture the grand prix de Paris, the blue ribbon event of the French turf, which this year was worth about $72,000. Beautiful weather favored the running of this classic and fully 150,000 persons gath ered at Longchamps to witness the race, which marked the close of the Paris season. President Fallleres was there, to gether with the members of his cab inet, and there was an unusually large attendance of foreigners from all parts of Europe. After the victory of his horse, Mr. Vanderbilt was given an ovation and was escorted to the pres idential loge, where he was warmly congratulated by M. Fallleres. The race was stirring from start to finish. Northeast winning by only a scant head from his half sister Sauge Pourpee, owned by Count Lemare. The Americans made a killing on Vanderbilt's victory as the odds were 10 to 1, the public losing faith in Mr. Vanderbilt's chances when Seasick II was withdrawn after his bad showing In the English derby.

With his flowered silk costume cov ered by a long automobile cloak, Mr. Wu traveling 60 miles an hour, has made a flying trip from South Bend, Ind., to Chicago, arriving at the Grand Pacific hotel as serenely as if stepping from a jinricksha. On the trip he was the guest of J. B. Brady, of the Press club. According to Mr. Brady, Mr. Wu is a dare devil speeder. "When we were running from South Bend to Laporte," said Mr. Brady, "Mr. Wu asked how fast we were go ing." 'Thirty miles an hour, I answered. 'How fast will it go?" asked Mr. Wu. 'Sixty miles an hour.' I replied. "Then let us go at that rate,' said Mr. Wu. "And we did. For a time we went so fast we could not see the landscape. Mr. Wu seemed to enjoy it. He is a natural born scorcher." DROPS OUT OF SIGHT Cousin of Mrs. John Hay Iiost in Department Store. Creamery Case Adjourned. Chicago. June 15.

A two weeks' engagement was be gun at the Air Dome last night by the Fulton Stock company, the opening bill being "Beyond the Rockies." This is a comedy drama of the sensational order and seemed to please the largest Sunday night audience which has been at this amusement resort since it was opened a month ago. There are a number of really clever people in the Fulton company. .Mr. James Fulton, after whom the company takes its name, is an actor of distinction and is unusually versatile in the interpreta tion of character parts. Miss Bessie Edwards, who plays the soubrette roles, is also a most capable perform er. Good specialties are provided be tween the acts by the members of the company and the entertainment is rounded out with moving pictures and illustrated songs. "Maud Muller" is the name of the play that will be given tonight and it is said to be a most in teresting one. At the Novelty..

Monroe, June 15.The torpedo test of the monitor Florida took place on schedule time and naval officers declared it was satisfa rra. damage done, they said, was largely tuwuiwa. -me vessel was seriously, though not vitally injured and if she were a battleship she would be in condition to keep in the fight. The torpedo hit the vessel just about mid ships and four feet below the water line, the great column of water, esti mated at 200 feet in height and 100 feet in width, rising into the air. The tornedo. suided hv a I J Bll Ut K squarely at the point marked and pen- cc.o-icu me uuume Dotiom and the coal bunker forming part of the com partments attacked. Pumps imme diately were set at work and the vessel luweu io me navy yard for drv docking. The crew of About an a j miral Mason and other officials of the ordnance bureau boarded the monitor on reaching the place where the test was to be held and remained there when the torpedo tore into the hull The effect of the contact and explo- sion was practically the same as when a shell was fired at the monitor's tur ret several weeks ago. One compart ment was oiown open and two others partly flooded. Secretaries Ttoi rr- .j Postmaster General Myer went aboard the Florida in the launch Wahneta and looked at the incidental damage on the .fittings about the deck of the ship caused by the shock. They then reiurucu iu ine mnynower, wnicn later left for Washington. Secretary Taft confessed that the damage from the explosion was not so great as he had expected. The ship appeared uninjured in her vital parts. Arex. OOCXXJOCJOOCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXJO o Ice Cream Sodas SNYDERIS BUSY Street Commissioner Has a Big .Task on Hand. Many Crossing and. Bridges to Be Bepaired. NOT IN NORTH TOPEKA -All Kinds- No Work There Till the Water Is Gone. Much to Do on West and East Side and South Topeka. With foot bridges washed away, side walks covered with dirt, bridges over creeks partially or completely wrecked, and sewers and excavations caved In by the heavy rains and overflows of river and creeks of Saturday the street commissioner's force has work ahead that will call for a large increase in the number of men employed. Sundays and week days the men of the street rorce will be kept employed. All of Sunday they were kept busied on the west side in Aubumdale and Lowman Hill where Ward's creek and one or two small streams had played havoc with the surrounding territory. An other division of the force was in South Topeka and in East Topeka trvinir to repair the damage done by the overflow from the Shunganunga. "We are not going to try to touch North Topeka until the water clears all away," said Frank Snyder, street commissioner. ''It's no use, for we can't do anything worth while until things become more settled on the North side. We are hard at work on the west and east sides as well as in South Topeka. We have just been overwhelmed with work, street cross ing bridges have been swept away and several or the root bridges are out. Most of the larger bridges are in good shape. The Lincoln street bridge over the Shunganunga has been barricaded by us but it is still standing. Out on East Fourth and East Third streets the bridges over the Shunganunga were threatened but they seem to be stand ing up pretty well. Ward's creek did considerable damage on the west side. People have been calling me up to com plain about mud holes and dirt on their lawn. I told them I had too much work to pay attention to little things. I said to one man, 'You can thank your stars that you haven't got the dirt in your house instead of on your lawn.' The Central avenue bridge over Sol dier creek is partially wrecked and the pavement, new brick pavement just completed last year, has been partly washed away nearthe approach to the bridge. An estimate of the damage done to the streets of the. city and the bridges will probably run Into several thousand dollars. It will take over a month to put them back in good shape without attempting to take care of the routine cleaning of streets and alleys. LARGE ALFALFA MILL One Being Erected at Fowler With a Capacity of 18 Tons Daily. Fowler, Kan., June 13. The Gazette says: The new alfalfa mill that has been spoken of in the Gazette from time to time is no longer a mere air castle, but is now an actual reality For the past three weeks from eight to 12 men have been busily at work under the superintendency of W. B. McCain, a contractor from Kansas City, and the new building now stands with the main part enclosed. It is 35x65 feet ground space and 28 feet to the eaves. A corrugated galvanized roofing was put on, and the building from top to bottom is put up In as sub stantial a manner as any building in this part of the state. Manager Edwards states that when this mill is completed it will be the largest of its kind in the state. The capacity of the mill will be from 15 to 18 tons per day of ten hours. The engine room will be equipped with a 100 horse power boiler and a 95 horse power engine. This will con siderably more than supply the needs of the mill, but if ,in the future, other equipment was added, the power sup ply would be ready. A steel smoke stack 60 feet high will be put up and a big steam whistle that can be heard all over the valley will blow three times a day at 7, 12 and 6 o clock. The en Bine room is 25x35 feet. The main build ing has a storage room 45x35 feet and 25 feet high. This is for baled hay and meal in the sack. A big hay tork op erated on a track attached -to the comb of the roof will be installed, and at a big door In the west end of the build- Ine the hay will be admitted. One of the finest devices in the building is the fire protection. A 70 bar rel air nressure tank will be provided for fire purposes alone. From this tank pipes run all over the DUiaing ana are constantly full of water under a 50 pound air pressure. Attached to the pipe at the top of the building are automatic sprinklers every eight feet, and in case of fire when the tempera ture gets above a certain point these little devices are affected by the heat and releases the water. A circular spray of water ten feet in diameter floods the sides oi ine uuiiuin6 -hiri nn the interior, and would put out a fire even if one should break out wnen no one was aiuuuu. NOMINATION OF EU3CTORS. The water ran five feet deep over the West Sixth avenue road from Ward's creek. Queen Esther will be given at the auditorium tomorrow night according to schedule. Wheat in Shawnee county is ready to harvest. All the farmers require now is fair weather. Manager E. B. Kellam of the Bell Telephone company inspected the North Topeka lines in a motor boat Sunday. The new National roof garden was officially opened by the United Com mercial Travelers Saturday night. A great many big carp are being captured in the flood waters.

Lawson of the Industrial Evangelical missoin at Philibit, India, is in Topeka. He is the guest of George Hamaker in, North Topeka. A crowd of the curious visited North Topeka all day Sunday, walking all over the town and out on the railroad tracks which had been washed out. A State Journal reporter, while chasing after flood news in North To peka Saturday rode on a street car, a transfer -wagon, boat, automobile and hand car. C. E. Denton, secretary of state. Is trying to screw, his courage up to the point where he will undertake a trip from Topeka to-Wichita and return in his automobile. The furniture and the other fur nishings of the new National hotel were installed by the Crosby Brothers company. The order was one of the largest to be niiea in tne state. The boats which were loaned by the management of ."Vinewood park to rescuers during the flood stages In North and South Topeka were re turned to the park this morning. "Business is extraordinarily dull in this office," said Frank Flennikin,. chief office deputy of the United States marshal's office. "We haven't had a writ of any kind for. over 9 week."

Dog Catcher Core is devoting his spare moments to the execution of worthless canines where their own ers have not paid taxes on them, though so far no protest has been made by the Humane society. Redmondville, the negro suburb west of North Topeka, though half buried in sand brought in by the cross currents from the river, and with pools of water standing all about Is still tenanted, very few of the families agreeing to move out. The city council will meet Wednes day evening of this week in an ad journed session to open bids for the construction of the new Martin-Dennis sewer, the bids for which will have to be filed with the city clerk not later than 5 o'clock of the same day. One of the unusual flood sights each evening for the past week has been the Rock Island semaphore located at the wye just north of Potwin. The tracks were under many feet of water at this point but the red lights on top of the semaphore which was sur rounded by a raging current burned as brightly as though located on dry land. The residents of the flooded district of North Topeka complain that their lawns are being ruined by sight-seers who Insist on running over them. These people use the sidewalks un til they come to a low place where the water or mud has settled and then use the lawns and in the condition of the lawns and parkings at this time such travel will destroy what is left of them. Bert Green states that a man called up his father, the mayor, at 4 o'clock last Saturday morning over the tele phone and declared that the flood was running into the Union Pacific depot and that hundreds of people were in danger of drowning. Bert called police station No. 2 and was told by the man on duty that the water was running over Crane street. These are mild samples of the exaggerations of the flood. "Santa Fe shopmen who have the time now on their hands when they are only working half of the time and others, too, should register if they want to vote at the primary on August 4th," said C. H. Titus, commissioner of elections. "Over one-half of the men eligible to vote in Topeka are unregis tered and this is a presidential election year at that. The registration books will close for the primary ten days previous to August 4th, which is some time during, the latter part of July." EASY. MONEY FOR TOMMY.

CAN'T FIND THE MAN Democrats Will Probably Blake So Nominations in Eighth District. Here is a political combination that ought to tickle the Republicans throughout the country. In the Eighth congressional district tne Democrats have not been able to find a man that is willing to sacrifice him self for a race for congress against Victor-Murdock. After hunting high and low and not being able to locate a fit -subject for slaughter some of the leading Democrats of the district have advised that the party should not get out a candidate of its own but should endorse the Socialist candidate. There is some political sense to this move too as the Socialist candidate is a man that had considerable power with the labor vote In Sedgwick coun ty, the big county of the district. A. A. Roe is the Socialist candidate and he Is an officer In the central labor Auditorium June 23 8:30 P.M. Grand Revival of QUEEN ESTHER Given By THE MODOC CLUB Postponed on Account of Flood. Benefit of The Organ Association. Admission 25. Seats at Stansfield's. organization at Wichita. Many of the Socialist leaders are strong labor peo ple. There are also numerous reports of the Democrats and Socialists Joining forces in some of the representative and senatorial districts.. The general plan In these however seems to be to let the Democrats name a candidate and the Socialists endorse him. There are plenty of Democrats over the state to meet all demands of the Socialists for political purposes, even though they are not friendly to many of the advanced Ideas of the Socialist platforms.
