Join in Good Words for Topeka and Topeka Jobbers. The rainbow last evening was a promise of a great day Thursday for Topeka and her guests for the Mer chants' week festivities, and this promise was fulfilled in the letter and the spirit. The events of today have proved that the plan of keeping open house for the country merchants and show ing them a good time was nothing short of an inspiration. It has proved a success far beyond the most aangulne expectations of Its most en thusiastic promoters. The attendance will have passed the 500 mark by night. The weather has been threatening, but did not In terfere -with the entertainment. The programme, covering every minute of the day, was carried through with precision and success. Above all. the spirit of hosts and guests was of the very best. The Topeka jobbers gave Mayor William Green, Who Will Wel come the ;uoms at tlie lioof Garden Banquet Tonight. a 'warm and hearty welcome to their guests and left their places of busi ness and extended themselves to the utmost to see that everybody had a good time. As for the visitors they came here expecting something fine, and were met at the train and given the glad hand, hustled up to the Com mercial cluh rooms, registered, given tickets to cover every imaginable form of entertainment and then went down on the street to listen to Mar shall's military band until the "See ln Toneka" cars came along for the first event of the day. The visitors were in the best of spirits. They found the welcome warmer and the entertainment better than they had expected. The spirit of the Merchants' week festival started three weeks ago by two score jobbers and manufac turers at a 6 o'clock dinner at the Throop hotel, has extended In that brief period to all twcilons of the state and met with a quick response from the country merchants. It scored a bull's eye; filled a long felt want: Just the thing: practical beneficial alike to wholesaler and re taller, and to Topeka. It is cal culated to extend and widen the famous Kansas spirit of good fellow ship and unite the cities and towns of the state closer together. The merchant and his customer today got acquainted with each other The scenes in the Commercial club rooms last night and today were an in splratlon to the optimist and cal culated to drive the pessimist to the depths of the big woods. At 10:30 last night 218 visitors had registered at the club rooms and the heads of the committees of the Job bers and Manufacturers' association had gathered in thi? rooms at that hour to talk over the first day. They shook hands with themselves and clapped each other on the back like a set of school boys. The plan had succeeded so far many times beyond their hopes. A few of the most optimistic had placed the number of guests to register by" Wednesday night at 40; most of them would have been satisfied with 25, yet here was 150 guests In town and more coming by every train. At 6 o'clock this morning 287 guests had registered at the club rooms and the executive committee was wondering If their estimate of the night before of 500 guests had been placed too low. At 9:30 this morning 352 visitors had signed their names on the roll of honor and received their coupon books in lieu of the city's keys. Marshall's Band Opens. ji mis nuur wie sun came out rrom behind the clouds and Marshall's band began to play "I'm Afraid to Go Home In the Dark." The visitors crowding the walk in front of the band stand were moved by the gay lilt of the tune and declared they would not go home at all. Af this moment two .seeing Tooeka cars stopped by the band stand in front of the Commercial club rooms and were auickly filled with country merchant Ed JohiiMJii of Atcliison, President of tion, Who Will Sneak a t and started on their trip to North To- 1 peka. The cars used were the big cars for Vinewood park, each with a capacity of 75 persons. Ten minutes later two more of these cars were loaded with sightseers and started merrily on their Journey north. After 300 country merchants had been placed aboard these cars the crowd in front and inside the club rooms was as large as ever. Secretary Poole and Paul Dugan, his assistant, were covered up with work at the registry desk. Twenty visitors stood In line from hour to hour all morning waiting to register. The club rooms were crowded with the jolliest kind of a crowd of visitors and the commit tees were busy as rats In a wheat rick. The original reception committee of five was doubled and tripled in an effort to take care of the incoming rush of guests, and everybody was looking forward to the time of his life In the capital city, the most hospit able In the west. A large number of the visiting mer chants brought their wives and fami lies. Come From Everywhere. The visitors came' from every sec tion-of the state. Among the towns represented on the registry are fit. Marys, Troy, Council Grove, Marion, i Garden City, Junction City, Cotton wood Falls, Clay Center Arkansas City, Neodesha, Independence. Enter prise. Abilene, Wamego, Canton, Al ma. Manhattan, Sallna, Herington, Dwight Minneapolis. AltaVista, Hol- ton, Mayetta, Valley Falls, Canton and a score of other towns from the north, south, east and west. The talk of the visitors is about the superiority of the Merchants' Week plan over the trade excursion. "This beats the trade excursion all hollow," said a Junction City merchant.. "An excursion train goes through your town on a 30-minute schedule. There is a rush and jam and the visitors are gone and you have gotten acquainted with nobody. Say, is that W. H. Davi over there? Well, I want to meet him. I have bought goods from him for ten years." The Topeka wholesaler and the Junction City retailer were- having a heart to heart talk when the report er left them. Produce Men Are Active.- And don't overlook the fruit and produce men. There are. five of these firms playing an important part in the success of the summer festival. Any rivalry or competition that ever exist ed among these men has faded into the background and they are working hand in hand to show their guests the best time they possibly can. T. A. McXeal. Famous Kansas Humor 1st. Who WiU Speak at tlie Banquet Tonight. W. O. Anderson, chairman of the re ception committee, is one of the busiest men in the city, but he always has time to introduce a delegation of new ly arrived visitors to Sam Lux, his rival in the fruit business, and to Whltteker Bros.. Cope and all the oth er produce men. There's nothing like a carnival of this kind for good feelings and good fellowship, and if it accomplishes noth ing else than bringing our own busi ness men close together It will have done a world of good for Topeka. A house divided against itself cannot stand. The plan to have the Marshall band concert at City park on Wednesday in stead of Monday night of this week proved a great success. At least 6,000 people gathered In a great throng at the park last night and enjoyed the program given by this famous band. The "Topeka Elks" and "State Jour nal" marches, written by Mr. Marshall himself, were heartily applauded and the trombone solo, "O, Dry Those Tears," played by I. W. Felix, was given an encore by the delighted throng. The visiting merchants freely ex pressed their wonder at hearing such tlie Kansas Ketail Dealers' ltanquet Tonight. Assocla- a splendid band here in Topeka. "I did not suppose there was such a fine military band west of Chicago," said a merchant from St. Marys. Tlie Seeing Topeka Trip. The trip over Topeka in the street cars in the morning and in the autos at 2 o'clock in the afternoon was a revelation. The visitors marveled at the rapid recovery of North Topeka after the big flood of last month. They were moved to terms of liveliest admiration at the sight of the beautiful public parks and the grounds of the colleges, hospitals Ex-Mayor W...H. Davis. Who Will Re spond to a Toast at tlie Banquet Tonight. and state institutions in the suburbs of the city. "But the finest thing I saw on the trip," said a visitor from Ellsworth, "was the long rows of shade trees that line every street in your beautiful city, and the wide parkings covered with a rich carpet of blue grass. No wonder you chose the month of July for your week of entertainment, when you have such a beautiful city to show to your visitors. I am proud of my capital city and glad I came here and have seen all it had to offer in the way of resourced, entertainment, beauty and points of in. terest," Pleased With Topeka. C. P. Muckenthaller modestly admits that he made money at Paxlco and for that reason is satisfied with his location and hia hardware business. "I have been in the hardware business at Pax lco lor 15 years." said Mr. Muckenthal ler, "and for the past 12 years have spent between 14.000 and $5,000 annually with the Thompson Hardware com pany of Topeka. It has been my ex perience that I can save monev bv trading In Topeka and that is the rea son that the bulk of my little .business has come to Topeka year after year." C. H. Richerd, who Is in the general merchandise business at Allen said: "I am in favor of this movement which Topeka has designated as Merchants" Week and trust that it will be made an annual affair. It brings the business men of the state together and at the same time gives them an opportunity to meet the wholesalers with whom they aeai. E. H. Johnson, president of the Kan sas Retail Merchants" association, ar rived early and has been doing his share towards making Merchants' Woeir a success. For years Mr. Johnson was a resident of Topeka but two or three years ago moved to Atchison where he now conducts a clothing store. That he has caught the step in that town is indicated by the fact that he Is the Republican nominee for representative of the Second representative ticket with the backing of the business men of Atchison. "I consider Topeka 'he best town in Kansas, which means the best town for its size in the United States," said Mr. Johnson, "that Is with the exception of Atchison. The success of the Merchants' Week meeting indi cates the progressiveness of the manu facturers of Topeka and reflects great credit on the city." A. L. Hlskey, who is In restaurant business at Onaga said: "Since the completion of the Topeka and North western railroad we Onaga people feel that we are next door neighbors to Topeka and as a consequence most of our trading is done in this city. We have found this to be a satisfactory market and a number of people from Onaga will attend the 'doings' in To peka this week." J. W. Shaw, who has a general store at Louisville in Pottawatomie county said: "I have been in business at my present location for fifteen years and during this time I have traded a great deal with Topeka merchants. Some (Continued on Pass Six.) HE TAKES, A HAND Key. Charles U. Sheldon on the Gorernor Question. Asks Temperance Republicans to Support fStpbbs. FRIEND OF THE CAUSE. Says Leland Has Been "Aligned With Interests" 40 Tears. Injects Law Enforcement Issue Into the Campaign. Charles M. Sheldon, the Topeka au thor, preacher and public speaker, is sending out a circular letter to all his friends and acquaintances who claim allegiance with the temperance Re publican division of the political army, urging them to line up for the support of W. R. Stubbs for governor. I Mr. Sheldon bases bis. appeal strict ly on the ground that Stubbs is a friend of the prohibitory' law, and Ice land isn't. Speaking of Leland. Mr. Sheldon says in his letter: "Leland has been aligned with tin 'interests' for forty years in Kansas politics, and among those interests the liquor men and their henchmen in the larger cities have always been en rolled." There will no doubt be a loud howl go up from the political friends of Mr. Leland over the Sheldon- letter, on the ground that Mr. Sheldon isn't a Re publican, and has no business taking a hand in the Republican primary.- Mr. Sheldon, as a matter of fact, ia an in dependent in politics. He has never taken an active part in the partisan affairs of the state, though he has fre quently been active in,, Topeka. city politics on the side of the law and or der candidates. He has to some extent affiliated with the j Republicans, but only when the Republican candidates were the law and order candidates. Mr. Sheldon's letter is written on the letterhead of the Central Congrega tional church, and is; dated July 15. It says: "Dear Republican Temperance Work er: The liquor interests of Kansas have been solidly united In their opposition to the candidacy of-Mr. ,W. K. Stubbs for the Republican nomination as gov ernor of this states- This has been known to those of jarv' who have .been trying to keep our., fingers opon the pulse of public seatfcnent ever since Mr. Stubbs entered the race.- "But since his manly utterances! at Holton and bis heroic defease of law and order., in Leavenworth- last .week, -they have come out in the open and "are waging ar. active campaign .against him. His opponent has been fellied with the 'In terests', for forty y ernes la "Kansas poli tics, and' among .these 'interests' thfl liquor men and their henchmen ia the larger cities have always been en rolled. This is my excuse, if any be need ed, for addressing this, letter to you and ursine: nnon you the force of the maxim-that 'vigilance Is the price or victory and that we cannot succeed unless we are united at the polls on Auaust 4. Of necessity this letter is directed to Republicans, since only Re-. publicans can pass upon the merits ot Mr. Stubbs' candidacy. His life is an open book, and the utterances of the ministers of Lawrence and his own brave words at Holton and at Leaven-, worth ought to be, and I believe will be. the trumpet call which will bring to his support every law and order man in the Republican party. "Remember, if you live in .-a city where registration is required, that you must meet all the conditions of the general election law before you can vote at the primary election on August 4. "Remember, also, that if you are. a farmer, a laboring man, a merchant, or a professional man, no matter what your calling in life may be, for the first time In the history of Kansas your vote counts one. and that a majority of all the voters in the Republican par ty will choose its candidate for gover nor on Auugst 4. "I enclose a copy of the special edi tion of the latest 'Kansas Issue' and earnestly direct your attention to tho same. It is my hope and prayer that those who stand for righteous govern ment and the enforcement of law will take an interest in this contest and thereby aid the cause of temperance and law enforcement in which all good men are enlisted for a finish fight. I appeal to you personally as an indi vidual to be prepared to vote at the primary; to talk with your neighbor concerning this matter; to take steps to organize the precinct in which you live and be present at the polls on primary election day. Tours fraternally, "CHARLES M. SHELDON." The Sheldon letter will tend to in ject the law enforcement question into the governorship fight more strongly than has heretofore been apparent. Mr. Leland has strongly insisted that he has demonstrated by his attitude in the past that ne is a inena or-iaw onfrrrcmcnt: that the law enforce ment question is settled in Kansas and that the people are for it. TsTovwrtheless. the fact is that Mr. Leland will undoubtedly get the big end of the vote in some of the large cities which are counted "wet." The city of Wichita, which is generally conceded to Mr. Brlstow in the sena torial fieht. will undoubtedly go for Leland for governor. Leland will poll a tremendous vote in Leavenworth; he mill B-ot a bia- majority in Kansas CItv and Wyandotte. Atchison will be for Leland, and probably Fort Scott The neoDle who come to Topeka and talk politics are much inclined to pre dict the sure nomination oi juong. Thev Azure that under the representa tive district plan. Long has much the best of it. One of Long's friends said today: "We know that Long is going to win, because we can put our finger on enousrh representative and senatorial districts that he will carry to insure his nomination. It is comparatively easy to find out how a district will go when you don't try to ascertain the majorities. The governorship fight is very much in doubt because In that fight it all depends on how big a vote the opposing candidates can pile up in their friendly districts. It is hard to get anything like an accurate estimate on the governor fight, but Long is sure to be nominated for United States senator. WRECK ON BRIDGE White Mountain Express on the N. T.f N. H. H. R. B. Thrown From Track Near the Greenwich, Conn., Depot. ONE WOMAN KILLED. Tried to Get Out of Window and Car Fell on Her. 50 Persons Injured and Four Parlor Cars Upset. Greenwich, Conn., July 16. The White Mountain Express over the New Tork, New Haven Hartford rail road leaving New Tork at 8:45 this morning and due to go through here at a rate of about 50 miles an hour, at 9:20 was derailed and almost com pletely wrecked on the bridge over Greenwich avenue in this town. One woman passenger was almost instant ly killed, one other woman was very badly injured and at least a dozen other passengers were more or less seriously hurt, so that they had to be taken to the local hospitals. The passenger who was killed was Miss Marguerite Armstrong of Wayne, Pa., an occupant of one of the Pull man' coaches. It appears that Miss Armstrong had attempted to get out of the window and the coach toppled over and she was crushed to death. The train was made up of nine coaches of which five were Pullmans. Outside of the derailment the day coaches suffered practically no harm. while the Pullmans were all overturn ed. The train was drawn by two elec tric locomotives and after the coaches were derailed these took three of the forward coaches and hauled them fully 500 feet ahead before they could be stopped after the engineers had noticed that the trains had broken apart. The cause of the accident is. not yet fixed, but inspection of the bridge shows that the iron was ground in ptoces-and one girder rail on the em bankment side alone prevented the entire train from being ditched. The derailment occurred about 500 feet east of Greenwich station. One of the passengers in describing the accident, said that he first noticed the bumping of the Coaches on the ties, then a swaying, from' one side to the other and finally the overturning of his own and other coaches. The speed at which the train was going Is responsible for the distance whioh cars ran before toppling over. There was a wild scene as the cars became a mass of wreckage, the shrieks of the frightened passengers reaching the stores; anrt residences on the nearby streets and bringing almost instantly hundreds of townspeople to the rescue. The firemen ana the am bulances from the hospitals and sur geons in town were at. once summoned It was reported that, one woman who had been .taken out,-of the wreckage had died on the way to the hospital, This, however, probably Was an error. It is. thought that of the more than 100 passengers' in the Pullmans, about half the number are more or less In jured, although the serious cases may not number more than a dozen. The Injured passengers include Mrs. Elizabeth Gibberson, Brooklyn, leg broken and otherwise hurt. S. ,E. Whittemore. Newport, N. H., knee injured and arm wrenched. Mrs. C. M. crandau. New York, wounds In head. The Greenwich hospital reports that only two injured persons were brought there, one a woman and the other a man. Their names are withheld. Neither Is said to be- badly hurt. An Only Child. Philadelphia. July 16. Miss Mar guerite Armstrong of Wayne, Pa., was 17 years old and was en route witn her mother and a party or friends from Flatbush. L. I., to a New Hamp shire summer resort. Miss Arm strong's father was the late Dr. Wil liam C. Armstrong ana sne was an only child. COMMERCE RULINGS. The Commission Gives Out a Number of Important Decisions. Washington. July 16. That a household servant when traveling with a member of the family entitled to a pass is lawfully Included within the term "ramiiy as usea in ire sii to regulate commerce, is one of sev eral interesting rulings made pumic by the Interstate Commerce com mission. The rulings are upon ques tions raised or submitted to the com mission In correspondence. This de cision is a modification of a previous ruling which held that the word family as used in the anti-pass pro vision of the act did not include ser vants. In another ruling the commission holds that common carriers mav pro vide at points along their lines, eat ing houses for passengers and em ployes of such carriers, and that property for use of the eating houses may be properly regarded as neces sary and intended for use of the car riers in the conduct or their busi ness. It is provided that these eating houses, however, must not serve the general public or any portion thereof with food prepared from commodi ties which have been carried at less than the full published rates and that no utensils, fuel or. servants em ployed at all in serving other than passengers and employes of the car rier should be carried at less than tariff rates. It is held in another de cision that a belt line owned by a municipality, which participates in interstate movements is subject to the Jurisdiction of the act to regulate commerce and of the commission. In still another decision the com mission holds that a misrouting car rier may be authorized to make a re fund on account oi its error in mis routing a shipment and that the car rier which participated in the trans portation with a lawrui tariff ap nlicable thereto "should be dealt with through the department of prosecu tions." In this case a. shipment was mis routed and passed over a route via a part of which no rate was filed with the commission and was thus sub jected to a higher charge than the through rate by the proper route. A decision of peculiar Interest is that in the case of a shipment which was tendered destined to a certain point the direct route to which was over the line of two carriers, a dis tance of S68 miles, the rate via that route being 22 cents. It was possible to send the shipment around over the lines of three carriers, a dis tance of 617 miles, and secure a com. blnation rate of only 19 cents. Application was made for a refund on account of the difference between the rates, but the commission held that the claim for a refund should be de nied on the ground that the much longer and indirect route was not a reasonable route. MEXiGANiSKILLED N'anrlco Gutierrez Stabs Miguel Rainrez Daring Ffght. Men Had Been Intimate Friends and Quarreled. As the result of a quarrel over a small debt, two Mexican Santa Fe laborers engaged in a knife duel last night, and one of the combatants is dead. Miguel Rainres, who was killed, lived at Second and Hancock streets with his brother and Nanrlco Gutier rez, the slayer, lived a few doors away on the same street.- After the fight Gutierrez left the scene of the fight, cashed his time check at Curry's con fectionery store on East Fourth street, and left town. The sheriff and cor oner were notified, and the body of Rainrez was removed to Talty's under taking establishment, where a post mortem was held at 10 o'clock this morning. In the fight, which resulted, from a quarrel over a small debt which Rain rez owed Guiterrez, the men fought for several minutes in the street in front of the Guiterrez residence, the fam illes of both men being witnesses to the battle. It is declared by the Rainres family that he was attacked by Guiter rez and fought only in self-defense until he fell to the ground, stabbed in several places. Dr. H. H. Keith, cor oner, who examined the body of the dead Mexican, states that either of two of the wounds, one in the head and another in the abdomen, would have caused death. Officers have been unable to locate the murderer, who evidently left town as soon as he cashed his time check. The two Mexican families were sup posed to be good friends until 10 o'clock last night,, when the fight was started. Rainrez and his family had called at the home of Guiterrez for a visit, when he was "dunned" for the small loan. None of the witnesses to the killing can speak English, and an interpreter was used by tne officers. When-" J3r."AKeith held art autopsy over the oody of the dead Mexican to day, the sudden death of the man was easily explained. The wounds, one in the head and another In the stomach, were of sufficient depth to cause death, but not instantly, and Dr. Keith could not understand, from the visible injuries, why the man was dead within five minutes from .the time of the stabbing. When the body was ex amined, it was found that the knife had been thrust upward from the stomach, and pierced the heart. In fact the heart was split for two inches, showing that the murderer used knife nearly a foot in length. A coroner's jury was sworn and viewed the bodv today, and the in quest will be held either on Saturday or Monday, giving the county attorney and sheriff time to. secure evidence, As all the witnesses are Mexicans, evl dence is hard to secure. Deputy sheriffs are searching the Mexican camps along the Santa Fe and Rock Island for several miles in either di rection. In hopes of finding Mexican laborers who have seen the murderer in his flight. The body of Rainrez will be buried at the expense of the county, as the family is without means, and the little wages coming to the dead man from the Santa Fe will be Insufficient to take the widow and two children back to their home in Mexico. DROPS HIS GOLF. Taft Will Play No More TTntil Speech Is Fnlshed. His Hot Springs. Va., July 16. Pressed by the necessity of having his speech or acceptance prepared several days In advance or-its aeuvery on the 28th William H. Taft today determined to forego his usual recreation and exer else until the end of his task is in sight. Golf and horseback riding will not figure In his daily routine again until the speecn is sufficiently perfect ed to lift the burden of its preparation from him. Mr. Taft was In his office earlv to day and resumed the dictation of the paper to w. w. Misenier, his stenog rapner. e nas gone over tne docu ments he desired to study before die tating his speech and has the subject thoroughly in hand. He will keep Close to nis tasK uniit it is nnisned. Arthur I. Vorys talked with Mr. Taft briefly today, but will defer any rurtner extenaea conierence on the Ohio situation until the candidate ha practically disposed of the work be fore him. Interesting phases of the Ohio situation especially in relation to the senatorshlp are sure to come into prominence as tne campaUrn xiro greases. When questioned today as to the possibility or Keeping the senator- ial and presidential contest apart In Ohio, Mr. Vorys merely replied with another question. "Hasn't been done up to this time, has it?" A short time ago Mr. Taft received about 100 letters and yesterday his mail contained 150. The labor of keeping pace with this correspondence is taxing the capacity of his secretary and stenograpners. Town Wiped Out by Fire. New Philadelphia, O., July 16. The town of Baltic. containing 600 people, was practically wipea out today by fire which raged all last night. Start ing in a flour mill the flames destroyed upwards of 40 homes and business buildings. The loss is estimated HOO.OOO. Weather Indications. Chicago, July 16. Forecast for Kansas: Fair and cooler.

Joplln scored fourteen runs off West cott and then the Hutchinson team began kicking. Olson was put out of ths game and Andrews took the box and switched outfielders in the infield. He gave an outrageous exhibition in tha box and was ordered off the grounds by Umpire Finney. He re fused to go and threw two balls over tbe fence meanwhile using the most insulting language. The crowd surged upon the field and rushed towards Andrews. But police protection was summoned and the players formed a barricade about the Hutchinson man ager He will be suspended.

Joplin Globe:" "pitcher Paul Moore was yesterday -given Ms uncondHienal release by Manager SFillman. He has received an offer from the Dubuque club of the" Thrfe I league and will probably" go to that team at once. Moore was in the' Three I 'league last season and was considered highly around that circuit. Moore's release was caused solely by his failure to keep in proper condition. He has been re peatedly warned by President Baker but has Ignored' these admonitions. Moore has pitched good ball during the past month and with proper care would make a consistent" twirler. He was all to the bad at the start of the season and created something of a record for losing games, but later seemed to strike his stride. He failed to keep In condi tion however, and has not displayed winning form In the last three games which he has essayed to pitch. He was secured by the Miners from the Peoria club of the Three I league. First Base man Dick Rohn being traded for Moore. Moore has been a winning pitcher for the last two seasons in the Three I league. His home Is at Chi cago. Hutchinson Gazette: Goes isn't go ing a very fast gait. His actions weren't good on. the field yesterday when he started a wrangling match with Alloway.

He-officiated in place of Cooley at first. He did not do a very good fielding Job but cracked out a hit at an opportune time. Cy will stay with the team until tho end of the season. It is said Cooley has purchased a halter and will use this on Cy when a ball game Is not In session.. Roach made good In his first game. He kept the hits scattered and would have pitched a shutout game had it not been' for the numerous errors be hind him. The locals will play the Mets tomor row at Metvtlle and then the real base ball of the season will be played.

Views of His Summer Home and Yacht. At Least Three Million Dollars Likely to Be Raised. New York. July 16. The hunt Is on! No longer for candidates; but now for cash! George R Sheldon has received his commission as treasurer of the Repub lican national committee 'and along With, it, is said, to have gone instruc tions to .immediately corral at --least 63,000,000.. To the layman In politics and finance the sum. sounds magni ficently Impossible. But national committees don't pick out campaign treasurers who can be staggered with a few ciphers.' Four years ago Cor nelius N. Bliss" handled the keys to the cash register. He was from New York, where money is supposed to grow. When Taft et aL, golfing down at Hot Springs, got to the point of choosing a 1908 collector, they looked for some time on Congressman Mc Kinley of Illinois, himself a liberal millionaire and in touch with the fin ances of the middle west. A man has to be In touch to get campaign funds. Along at the last minute came a mes sae from Bliss that he was coming with the name of a new man to pro pose for the Job. Everybody remem bered that Bliss was the boy who las soed the millionaires back In the good old days of yore aid they respected Bliss Judgment. So they waited till Bliss arrived. He made his recom menadtion, and' straightway a new figure loomed up on the political hori zon. And thus 'was born George R. Sheldon, Glen Cove, Long Island and New York city. 1 Mr. Sheldon is a banker of long and successful experience. He has been brought up in New York city. He is a close friend of Bliss. He owns yachts and horses and automobiles. He can afford to be treasurer of the national Mr. Sheldon's home at Glen Cove; Long Island, from whence the campaign for Republican funds is being waged. (Cop yrlght by .Underwood Cndcrwood.) committee; and should funds run shy, he can even afford to make up the deficit. He owns a beautiful estate at Glen Cove and he reaches It by one of the prettiest and fastest yachts on Long Island sound. His daughter. Miss Gertrude, Is one of the leading horsewomen of the country. It is said the party wants Sheldon to produce $3,000,000. No one doubts that Sheldon can do It and then some, if required. Whatever he does produce will be universally known, too; for by choosing a man from New York state to be committee treasurer the committee puts itself under the New York publicity law, which will require a public reckoning of all funds which Sheldon collects and dis burses. Candidate Taft thereby de monstrates his friendliness to cam paign fund publicity, despite Denver oratory to the contrary. Three million dollars will be de cidedly less than the G. O.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUTtlTAL T11UUSDAY EVEimTG, JULY 16, 1903. RAILROAD NEWS. Where Does President Rooserelt Stand? Ills AtUtnde a Pnzzle to Rail way Officials. HIS PLANS AKE FEARED Upset Movement for Increase In Freight Bates. Other Items of Interest Hallway Circles. in Railroad officials are In a quandary bout the attitude of President Roose velt toward the Increase- in railroad freight charges which the railroads wish to make. The action of -the interstate com merce commission in ordering the re scinding by the railroads ot the order Increasing the lumber freight rates In the Northwest is now taken as an in dlcation that the commission, and pre sumably the president, do not look with favor upon an Increase., even a small one. It was thought In official rail road circle, that the advance In. the lumber rates was one which would meet with less opposition In Washington than an Increase on any other com modity because the arguments advanc ed by the railroads making' the ad vance seemed to be of .a character that would seem to perfectly justify the Action. Now that the Interstate commerce commission has acted adversely on that Increase the possible attitude of Presi dent Roosevelt on other and possibly more radical changes In freight tariffs has become a problem that is causing much anxiety among the railroad offi cials. Several months ago. a delegation of prominent railroad men- called upon President Roosevelt In Washington and It was widely reported that the presi dent gave his callers to understand that they would have the normal sup port of the administration in an ad vance of freight rates. This was de nied at the White House. The inter state commerce commission also dis credited the story. It is a fact that Shortly before the public knew of a possible Increase in freight rates, men prominent In rail roads did visit the president. None of them, at least publicly has since said that President Roosevelt admitted, in so many words, that the railroads would be justified In Increasing freight rates, but they have declared that they came away with the firm conviction that the president recognized the neces sity of raising freight rates and that he would not be unfriendly to such a move. It Is positively stated, however, that he told the railroad men that the administration, under no circumstan ce, would tolerate a decrease In the wages of railroad laborers and other employes. This has never been dispu ted nor contradicted. There spread among managers generally an Idea that a small, reasonable Increase In freight rates would not be-htagonised try the administration. It is this that has been offered in explanation for the secrecy attending conferences .at which plans were for mulated for raising rates. Even after the storm of protest from manufactur ers, railway men kept right on with their plans, seemingly feeling secure In thtlr position until the recent de cision of the commission ordering a restoration of the old rates on lumber from the Northwest. The fueling that the administration was with them has changed to a fear that President Roosevelt is disinclined to look with favor or indifference upon an advance in freight rates and is like ly, if necessary, to do all that he can to discourage It. Under these circum stances, many railroad managers feel that they are between the upper and nether millstones. The recent statement made by W. C. Brown, senior vice president of the New York Central lines, in which he fixed the date for the advance in freight rates in classification territory for Oc tober 1. contained several claims which showed clearly the necessity the rail roads feel for an increase. SOME NEW' TARIFFS. Will Be Effective on Western Lines From St. Louis to Texas. New tariffs filed by the south western lines with the Interstate Commerce commission and effective August 10, provide for advances in freight rates as follows: First class, St. Louis to Texas points from $1.37 to $1.47 per 100 pounds: second, from $1.07 to $1.12; third, from $1.04 to $1.12; fourth. from 96 cents to $1.02; fifth, from 75 to 80 cents; class A, from 79 to 85 cents; B, from 85 to 70 cents: C from 58 to 62 cents; D. from 46 to 60 cents; K. from 39 to 43 cents. Like advances are to be made in commodity rates. Care has been taken, it is officially stated, to pre vent any disturbance of the rela tive rate adjustment from large Job bing and manufacturing centers to points in Texas and the southwest. CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. Transportation of Speakers Will Cost Half a MUlion. Some railroad officials have been figuring out what the Hepburn act will cost and have reached the con clusion that $500,000 will barely cover expenditures for transportation and services In previous elections were given free by the railroads. The Hepburn law imposes a fine running from $20 to $20,000 for the Issue and acceptance of any pass or free trans portation. In former campaigns the railroads and other transportation companies, it is estimated, extended pass courtesies to speakers and other political workers to the face value of from $750,000 to $1,600,000. There probably will be a curtall ment of the travel of speakers during You can get STRENGTH to stand Hot Weather, from P0STUM There's a Reason" Trial is proof the coming campaign, but it Is not ex pected the amount that will be spent for this purpose will be less than 1500.000. PROSPECTS BKIGHTEB. Mar .Not Be Necessary to Force Question of Wage Reduction. Strong grounds exist for hoping mat the railroads will not And it necessary to force to an issue the question of a general wage reduction because of the depression that has existed for the last nine months in the commercial and industrial inter ests of the- country. Last week It was feared that a conflict between the roads and their employes might be started by some of me southern roads forcing the issue to a final settlement, but wiser coun sels prevailed, and further considera tion of the whole matter has been postponed until October 1. By: that time, it is hoped, the traffic, situation will have so Improved that the roads will see their way to continue the present rate of wages indefinitely. Out of a trying situation there has been one development gratifying to all intrusted with the operation of the railroads. That is the demonstrated greater efficiency of railroad labor and the benefits to the companies that have resulted therefrom. It has been the effort of the managers, in reducing forces, to retain the best workmen and the result has been that the ratio of operating expenses to gross earnings has been greatly de creased. Signs of the expected improvement in traffic already are seen on every hand. From all sections of the coun try come the most encouraging re ports of crop conditions. The wheat harvest promises a larare vield nnd grain of excellent aualitv. so the ton nage of this cereal to be handled by the- roads as freight will, be millions of bushels ahead .of -last year's crop. Of other crops the renorts are ermaiiv good. ALL ARE GETTING BUSY. Candidates losing No Time Now in Their Canvasses. These are exceeding busy times for the Republican candidates for the two principal offices on the Republican ticket. All the candidates putting in their last licks and all express the greatest confidence of success. At Long headquarters a big force of clerks is hard at work, and W. T. Mor gan and Mort Albaugh are in almost constant attendance "on the Job." Mr. Morgan will probably spend most of the time in Topeka until after the primary. Stubbs and Leland each have in creased their literary bureaus, and are sending out thousands of letters and campaign documents. Just what Bris- tow is doing, aside from making speeches, is somewhat of a mystery, because his headquarters are in Sa- lina, out of the watchful gaze of poli ticians. This morning Cyrus Leland gave out his list of campaign dates for the week beginning July 20. It is a record breaker. Mr. Leland will make 15 speeches or visits in the six days, and will be accompanied on the tour by either F. B. Dawes or W. J.. Bailey. Dawes speaking with Leland at some towns,- and Bailey- at -other. -The fol lowing are Mr. Leland's dates: Monday morning. Augusta: afternoon. El Dorado;, evening. Winfleld. Tuesday morning, Moline; afternoon. Sedan': evening. Coffeyville. Wednesday morning, Yates Center; afternoon, Neodesha; evening, Fre- donia.' Thursday morning, Oswego; after noon. Chetopa: evening. Parsons. Friday afternoon, Cherryvale; even ing. Independence. Saturday, Crawford county. Senator Long spoke last night at Great Bend, having been hurried there across country from Sterling in an au tomobile. This afternoon he spoke ac St. John, and this evening at Stafford. Thursday he Is in McPherson, Friday in Jefferson county, Saturday at Hia watha. Saturday at Holton. Monday he will go to Wichita where he will speak at the auditorium. Wichita is supposed to be a very hostile country for Long. Senator Long has now covered the Fifth. Sixth and Seventh districts, and part of the Eighth. He has been doing some great campaigning during the few weeks since the Republican na tional convention. The western pan of the state is the vital part in the senatorial fight, and Long has seen t it that the western part was well ta ken care of. W. R. Stubbs Is at Wichita today. Thursday he will be at Marion, Friday at Hiawatha, Saturday at Sauna, Mon day at Kansas City, Kan., Tuesday at Paola and Olathe. Wednesday at Osage :tty. Thursday at Council Grove anl Herington, Friday at Mound Ridge and Marquette, and Saturday at Leaven worth. UP TO THE AVERAGE. Hush of Eastward Atlantic Travel as Great as Usual. NViw York. July 16. The rush of Atlantic travel eastward still con tinues to be almost up to the average of former years. Steamship agents assert that the season was later than usual this year, but that it has made amends for the falling off in the earlier sailings and promises to con tinue later than usual. The three lines leaving today with full cabins for Europe are the last to sail on the high summer schedule, as the win ter rates eastward go into effect to morrow. The minimum fare is the same all the year around, but the rates for the best cabins are practically cut in half. For Instance, a deck cabin on the Lusitania. sailing today that costs $600 for one passenger, will only be $300 on the Mauretania, sailing on July 22. ARE ELKS AND EAGLES EXEMPT. Question Will Be Submitted to State Tax Commission. It is said that the Elks and Eaa-Ies lodges of the state are preparing to unite in a concerted movement to se cure from the state tax commission a ruling exempting all their lodre nroo. erty from taxation on the ground that the lodges are charitable and benevo lent in their nature, and come under the same exemptions as other charit able institutions. Up to the present time no formal application for such a ruling has been maae o me state tax commission. It Is said that there is a decision of the Maine supreme court to the effect that the Elks and Eagles can not claim emptlon on the ground stated- FOR MESMERIZING Prof. Griffith Arrested Hypnotizing a Boy. for The Subject Was Ensconsed lu Netting and Sheets. COULDN'T WAKE HIM. Fort Scott Officials Remember a Subject of Prof. Flint. Later Went Crazy and Slew Eel- atire With a Hatchet. Fort Scott, Kan., July 16. The Tri bune says: At dawn this morning passersby along North Main street saw the form of a mere boy ensconsed In netting and sheets and fast asleep the result of the mesmeric work of Prof Griffith. the performer who opened an engage ment here last night at a tent on Eddy street. A great many complaints were registered against this by people who were up town and by those whose places made it possible for them to be within a short distance of the boy's figure all day lone. The became so rife that a conference of lawyers resulted to Drobe into -the mat ter and see if a legal wrong was not being committed along with the ap parent violation of the finer sensibili ties that should govern such things. Mr. Caldwell, the county attorney, was notified of the situation and an appeal was to be made to the mayor to put a stop to the practice, calling a special meeting of the council as it was re garded necessary to enact an ordin ance covering the affair. But Mr. Cald well needed no such impetus. He is sued a complaint, swearing to the same himself, and Deputy Sheriff Geo. Cowan was given the process and or dered to arrest Griffith. He went to three or four hotels shortly before noon, but did not find the professor. At 12 o'clock, however, he ran across the professor coming down Main street and he at once read the warrant and took Griffith to the office of Judge Volker. Griffith is to be tried for giv ing hypnotic exhibitions with a person under 18 years of age. He says the subject Is a young man 20 years of age, but those who have seen the boy declare that he does not look a day over 16 years old. Griffith declares that there is abso lutely no sham in this connection, that the boy has been put to sleep and that he wilt be awakened tomorrow night. The county attorney made an effort to have the subject roused, but this was not ordered. There is naturally a bugbear about hypnotics. A well known Fort Scott young man 12 years ago was a sub ject of Prof. Flint, who appeared here for several weeks. Later the young man's reason became affected and he one day slew his grandmother, crush ing In her- head with a hatchet. It was claimed by friends of the young man that his mind never fully threw oft. the effects, of the mesmeric t influ ence. Griffith says this young man came here from Joplln and is a mem ber of his troupe. He declares that he has violated no law as the boy is over 18 years of age. Last night he says, ha' -sent several boys from his "stage, realizing that they were under" the 18 year limit. The case "against Griffith will be tried Friday. He had no trou ble in fixing bond in the sum of $230. There was so much comment heard about this case today that the result of the suit will be anxiously watched. OVER 2,000 PRESENT. Bis Bryan Meeting In the Court House Yard at Fort Scott. Fort Scott, Kan., July 16.

When the original ordinance reauir- ing registration of automobiles was passed the fee was fixed at $5. A week ago a deputation of thirty auto mobile owners waited on the com missioners, and after an interchange of oratory asked for an 80 per cent reduction. The demand was taken under advisement and last night the commissioners acceded to the wishes of the automobllists by amending the section of the ordinance naming the fee so that It now reads $1 Instead of $5. The fee of $1 on motor cycles re mains unchanged. I A BIG ELECTION- BET. The $00 Fort Scott Elks to Have a Turkey Dinner ax Result of Wager. Fort Scott. July 1.

The crowd which received Mr. Kern was in a cheering mood. Re publicans applauded as loudly as the Democrats. Mr. Kern arrived In the cltv a little after 6 o'clock and was escorted to his home by a large crowd. Two hours later he went to the court house with Vice President Fair banks.

Vice President Fairbanks said: "Mayor Bookwalter and Fellow Cit izens: The duty which you have as signed to me Is a very unusual and a very agreeable one. The occasion does not Impose upon me the neces sity of indulging in any extended ut terance. My function is to preside and not to engage in speech beyond a word of greeting and felicitation to our friend in -whose honor we are as sembled.

It Is particularly grat ifying now to meet this assemblage to perform a similar office for you. "The -honor 'which the Denver con vention bestowed .'upon you Is one of the two greatest which can be confer red upon an American citizen by his political associates. Honor came to you in a manner to enhance It. It came through the unanimous Judgment of a great convention. "While we owe allegiance to different nniltlcal narttes. our differences have never disturbed our friendship or mar red our personal relations.

I am sure that I can find no words which will in any measure ex press the emotions of my heart upon this occasion. (Cheers and applause.) "It is true, as has been said, a mark of distinction has been given me by the national convention of my party, and to that convention and to the men it represents, I am deeply grateful, but I am more grateful to Almighty God for the friends He has given me in Indianapolis regardless of political afliHations. (Prolonged cheers and ap plause.) "I would be very much more or less than a man were I not deeply touched by the manifestation of your personal friendship and confidence which I have witnessed from the time I alighted at the station this afternoon until the present hour. I may be defeated at the polls, (cries of "No, never, no, no, no,") but if so that is not a killing mat ter, (laughter), because I have become accustomed to that, but if I should go down to defeat in November the mem ory of what has occurred here tonight will amply repay me for whatever of toil may be my lot between now and November, and the fact of that great assemblage attesting your loyalty and friendship to me. I will bequeath to my children as a richer legacy than any other on the face of the earth or all of the wealth of the world. "An honor of a very high character has come to me. I will try with God's help to wear that honor worthily, wear It In such a way as to bring neither discredit nor dishonor upon my party or my native state, or this beautiful city which has thus honored me on this occasion. I am not vain enough to claim or to believe for a moment that the nomination tendered me, given me by the national convention of my party .was due to any merits or ability of my own. If you will permit me to take you into my confidence I will tell you how It happened. "That great convention looking out over the country could not fall to ob serve that the great state of Indiana was situated midway between the oceans; that Bhe occupied a com manding position at the foot of the lakes, and is the exact center of the population of the republic. They ob served that the star which represents Indiana on the flag was in the inmost center of the glorious starry banner. They observed that Indiana had pro duced all the great authors, novelists and poets of modern times. They were not unmindful of the great list of statesmen which had been fur nished by Indiana in the past that have Illuminated the fame of the country in times of peace, nor of the glorious record made by a quarter of a million of loyal sons In time of war. They did not fail to note that Indiana with this kind of record de served some sort of recognition at the hands of that great body and so the nomination came to me, not only as a humble individual, but as a distinct representation of that great common wealth which, we all. honor. And when it became known that I lived In the most- beautiful city of the United States, made up of 225.000 of the fairest daughters and bravest sons of America, there was no use under' 'lTOS' PACIFIC Trip City Passenger Agent, Topeka Kan.

As is customary In political debates the one between Senator Chester I. Long and Joseph Brlstow. a would-be-senator, at Sterling, resulted In a victory for both sides, according to the claims of the Interested partisans. It has developed tha't the Philippines are realy of some value to this, coun try. Coal deposits have been discovered there which will place this country In an Independent position as far as the world's coal supply la concerned. A phrenologist dilates on the bumps of William Howard Taft's head to the conclusions that he is a man of tact, ability and diplomacy. Anybody could have made the same diagnosis who was at all familiar with Mr. Taffs activities during the past few years. From the boom that business In all fields of endeavors has taken within the past week or so It is quite appar ent that this presidential year is to be an exception in that a business depres sion is not to be incident to It. And that's the sort of an exception that win be hailed with glee on all sides. Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, now takes his place among the famous sears and prophets of all times. It was plain to him some 30 days before the Denver convention that Mr. Bryan would get the presidential nomination. His prophetlcabillty loses some force, however, because he did not announce tMs prevision until after the occurrence of the event. Here's hope for the bald. A Penn sylvania man whose head was as free from hair and as shiny as a billiard ball recently had his top-knot severe ly sunburned. The skin peeled oft and within a few days he was surprised to find that hair was again sprouting on the big bare spot. It gives every In dication of becoming a luxuriant growth. President Roosevelt has a new hobby In the sport line. It's nothing less dan- gerous than polo. Maybe there's a deal I of method In this latest undertaking of his. An expert poloist has to be pretty nifty in dodging and perhaps if Mr. Roosevelt becomes an expert dodger, physically speaking, of course, he will be able to get out of the way of the eoooanuts that tbe African monkeys are certain to toss at him. Frenzied finance and the get-rich-rulck fever, which Is prevalent at (Pittsburg, Pa., Is no respecter of per sona. It seems to attack all classes and among the latest of its victims Is a clergyman of the Pentecostal faith who has gone bankrupt to the extent of $50,000 with assets of $230. With him to poverty went many of Ms congrega tion who Invested heavily ta his advice and suggestion In "gilt-edged" mining stock. Remembering the admonition that lfe a tough Job for the rich to get into Heaven, it may be said that these Christian bankrupts have a bet ter chance of passing the Golden Oate than they would have had If the wild cat schemes of their pastor had caused the riches they were searching to fall Into their laps. Most civilized people will agree with he intrepid Count Leo Tolstoi that all of the bombings and murders by the revolutionists of Russia do not come anywhere near the criminality and atupldity of the -deeds committed by the government. He pertinently de- iflo present government of Rus sia as one of execution. That's the kind of a government that Is most ef fective for staying progress for the time being and this seems to be the oesirea of the puny czar and his ad leers. But It Is the kind of a gov ernment that will sooner or later force the people to rise in their might and drown It out of existence with their own blood.

TO LESSEN mtnb disasters. The numerous mine accidents of re cent years led the last congress to make an appropriation to be expended In testing explosives of all kinds used In the mining Industry. Plans have been made by Mr. Garfield, the secre tary of the Interior, to open In Pitts burg, Pa., an experimental station within the next few weeks. The first six months of 1908 show no lessening of the terrible mine disasters that were noted In 1907 and the secretary of the interior is on this account particularly anxious to begin his experimenting at the first moment the money appro priated for the purpose becomes avail able. Tests are to be made of the various explosives used in blasting with a view of determining accurately their safety In the presence of the deadly fire damD and coal dust. Ex plosives of various kinds will be hurl ed into a huge boiler plate cylinder one hundred feet long and six feet in diameter after an explosive mixture of fire damp and coal dust has been pumped In so that the effect can be carefully noted. There will also be constructed at the Pittsburg station a miniature mine with draughts, bead ing rooms, and ladders. This will be filled with smoke or gas and experi ments will be made with apparatus capable of sustaining life In these vapors. Miners will also be instructed bow to handle this apparatus and how to save their comrades found uncon scious in a mine after an explosion. It is expected that the results of these experiments will go a great way to lessening the disasters Incident to ex plosions In mines and also towards preventing the occurrence of explo sions. STEAMTjra TO THE ORIENT. It is a splendid and tried fleet of United States battleships that weigh ed anchor at San Francisco a few days ago for the most notable voyage of war vessels in the history of the world. And surely he Is a poor Ameri can Indeed who does not feel at least a little thrill of patriotic pride as he thinks of this gallant collection of fighting craft steaming across the broad Pacific to the American and other ports beyond, bearing with Its message of peace and good will a cer tain grim reminder also of the grown and growing might of the United States as a new world power. If this second start, as It were, of the Atlantic squadron which this country is now sending round the world has not attracted the same de gree of interested attention that was betsowed upftn the first start from Hampton Roads, It Is In part, no doubt, because the element of uncer tainty has now been to a considerable extent eliminated. When the longer voyage began there were abundant predictions of material disaster and of diplomatic trouble; and the peo ple of the country waited and watched eagerly If not breathlessly to see what would happen. But all has gone well. The fleet has been excellently manag ed, each vessel being in fine condition; and in no foreign port has it been re garded with any other feeling than that of friendly interest. The probability that this will con tinue to be the record brings the voy age at its present stage down nearer to the level of commonplace and the uneventful In popular thought; and nobody awaits with any special ex citement or even curiosity the recap tion that our sailors will have in the ports of the Orient and Australia. Elaborate preparations are making for their entertainment everywhere. It seems hardly necessary to fear international misunderstanding or un pleasantness any more than a loss of any of tbe vessels through bad sea manship, and no one thinks of such an event occurring. EASY DIVORCES. The facility and ease with which di vorces can be obtained in the United States has often been the subject of unfavorable comment In England where the system of "divorce while you wait," Is not practiced. In a recent Issue of the Yale Law Journal, Mr. A. J. Bar ratt, an English lawyer, tells of one Instance which graphically illustrates the evils of the American way of doing such things. He says in part: "I had my attention called In New York only a short time ago to the case of a lady who thought it was a very simple and easy matter to get a di vorce. She told her .friends that she was going west to get a divorce. She notified the telephone company in New York to take her name out of the tele phone book, but took great care to warn her friends that she was at home and could be communicated with by telephone. She went out to the west ern states and engaged rooms, return ed to New York, and in due course of time, after a sufficient number of days of residence required by the atatuta had expired, she again went from New York to that state and came back with a divorce decree in hand." It must be borne in mind that this woman was a bona fide resident of New Tork, but had no grounds on which she could obtain a divorce In that state. And it may be remarked here that New York is one of the few states in the Union which refuses a divorce unless Infidelity against one of the parties to a marriage Is actually proven. lit must also be noticed that she did not really remove her place of residence from New York nor did she, for even a brief period become a resi dent of the western state, which was probably Booth Dakota. She merely became a "constructive resident" of the western state without even a pretense of becoming a oi risen of It. In short, he obtained a divorce by pretending to reside In another state without act ually changing bar place of residence. Under the -i-wsf West York she saa- THE TOPEKA DAILY not now contract a valid marriage In that state, not even if she treats her self to a constructive residence in an other, but the fact remains that she Is now free to marry In almost any other state of the Union. The evil effects of such a perform ance as this must be apparent to all thinking persons. It removes all the sacred ness from marriage and makes it little else than a convenience, to be set aside at pleasure. While it is possible that in some of the states the laws re lating to divorce are unreasonably strict and narrow. It should be plain that It ought not to be possible for the marriage obligations to be abrogated by any such sham proceedings as those narrated above. There ought to be something like- uniformity In the di vorce laws of the states and some re gard for decency in the matter. JOURNAL ENTRIES About the prettiest thing in ham mocks is a girl. A person whoss brows are ever knit may be said to have a fancy-work face. One of the best ways to succeed is to make the people think they want what Is being given them. When a man has squandered a for tune he still has something else to go through the bankruptcy court.

The difference between logic and sophistry Is the difference between your line of argument and the other fel low's. JAYHAWKER JOTS The Hutchinson News says that one El Dorado plutocrat uses his automo bile to drive the cows home at night. Lyon county evidently has a few rivers or creeks yet to cross as the commissioners of that community are figuring on building five new bridges. An Atchison woman who has money and "gives" liberally received a note this week reading: "If you really want to do good with your money assist me to pay my taxes. I have been assessed too high." "Speaking of this discussion of pies," said Bill Sinclair In the VI n land Vine, "as I look from the twilight back into the dawn of life it seems to me that the finest pies were the mud pies we used to make." The Wichita Eagle Is sorely puzsled by a report from Leavenworth. It says: "A Leavenworth man caught a carp weighing twenty-three pounds. He could use it to fertilise his land, but it is hardly possible that a man who would fish for carp owns land." While mowing his alfalfa recently, a Republic county man ran over a prairie hen, cutting off her head, one wing and one leg. She was setting and re fused to leave her nest, so was caught by the sickle. The farmer took the eggs and put them in his incubator and In a day or two six of them hatch ed and, he Is raising the little orphan prairie chickens by hand. "In our rounds as a gatherer of news we get very intimately acquainted with the people we meet day after day," says A. R. Hansmann in the Kingman Journal. "And this much we can say: Lots more really good people are liv ing in Kingman than are lying dead at Walnut HUL A man does not have to die before the newspaper writer finds out that he is a good man." Some more examination "answers" from the Chase County Leader: Abra ham Lincoln was our first president. He started the first printing press and discovered electricity. Th? colonies were very strict in religion and had forms of punishment for stay ing from shurch: some were whipped and some were put in stocks and bonds. The colonies had trou ble over religious sex. The principal events of President Jackson's administration were the Mexican war and the Revolutionary war. Lincoln was shot by Burr. Louisiana was purchased by right of discovery. The colonies had many discusses and disputes over re ligion. One of the Important events of the past ten years was the Spanish-American war. The struggle to get Spain was long and hard. They had many battles before they could get Spain. One of the important events between 1812 and the Mexican war was the Civil war. Another was that the English wanted Canada. Noted persons connected with our na tional history between 1812 and 1861 were Jackson, Hoch, Bailey. Fairchlld, Hayes, Webster. GLOBS SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.J Everyone hates the "I am" man. How much people enjoy their tongues! You cannot afford to have things given to you. We like warm weather. But it's eas ily overdone. We have yet to hear a barber speak well of a safety razor. When you are acting unfairly, you are making enemies rapidly. Every woman likes to hear a man talk about his kin until she marries him. In spite of the frightful manner in which they are imposed upon, women live longer than men. It is the disposition of most people, when they get anyone's friendship, to draw on it at sight. A woman who isn't patient when her husband gets mad, would make a fire hotter when the kettle boils over. When a woman does it at home she calls it the "wash," but when she sends it down town, she calls it the "laundry." When a newspaper makes a notice that a man Is singing in a choir, half the people who read it say: "Huh, he can't sing." When a woman goes down town to buy a little soap, and a few things for the kitchen, she doesn't call that "shopping." A man is worthless as soon as he begins to think more or what people are thinking of him than of what he is doing. The fact that you had lots of good times when you were young, is a poor umbrella to protect you from the storms when you are old. It makes no difference how poor a man's memory, he can usually recall the exact words of his printed compli ments, including the punctuation.

STATE J OUIUTAIr THURSDAY EVEIOKO, JULY 16, KANSAS COMMENT FAVORABLE CROP REPORTS. -ooa news of the right sort forthcoming in the form of favorable crop reports. The July government es timates Indicated 2.726,000,000 bushels of corn, which would be iao.800,000 bushels more than last year and has been ex ceeded but once, and that by the bum per crop of 1.927,000,000 In 1906. The wheat crop is estimated at 692.790.000 bushels, or 58,000,000 bushels In excess of last year, and closely approaches the largest crop on record. The promise for oats 1 1,019,000,000. a bumper yield and comparing with 754.000,000 bushels a year ago. In addition to a full grain harvest the cotton crop promises to be abundant, prevalent estimates being about 13,000,000 bales: and we have al ready secured a good crop of hay. The fruit crops, too, are better than usual. There Is, of course, the probability of these estimates being reduced by un favorable weather. July and August are often months of deterioration, and in September there is always danger of early frosts to both cotton and corn in the northerly sections of the produc- ing states. But these two leading crops are not so backward as a year ago; and. with larger acreage and better condition than existed at this time In 1907, there' is ample ground for hope fulness regarding the crop situation. Since prices for nearly all agricultural products are high, especially corn, our farmers are assured of another pros perous year. Cotton and wheat are cheaper than a year ago, but current prices still afford a liberal profit to the grower. Nothing more fortunate could, nappen at this time than a gooa harvest, says the Weekly Financial Re view, for nothing could contribute more effectually toward a general revival of business, tnan large and prontaDie crops. The wheat crop will stimulate railroad traffic, and the probability of a good export demand will strengthen our credit abroad. Corn is a product that will be turned largely into pork and beef; also giving a big tonnage to the railroads, and tending ere long to lower the present high and burdensome prices for meat products. Surely the country is Justified in taking on spirit of hopefulness as long as nature continues as a special partner. Lav- enworth Times. EX-PRESIDENTS. The Leavenworth Times calls at' tentlon to the fact that this is the third time the country has been with out an ex-president. The first time was when Washington died during the administration of his successor, the second when Andrew Johnson died in 1875. At the beginning of Lin coln's administration there were five. Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan, a number approached before or after only at the beginning of John Qulncy Adams term when John Adams. Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were yet living. With a pres ident soon to auit the White House in the prime of life and a certainty that the next president, whether Bryan or Taft. will reenter private lire on ine vountr side of sixty, tne nuniDer or ex presidents bids fair to accumulate again. -Ottawa Republic.

The women who are really in fluential In politics, however, are hardly those who clamor for woman's rights and demand the ballot, Thte is too nearly direct competition with the sterner not stronger sex, and a woman knows that there are much better and surer ways of getting what you want than fighting for it- The women who really make their in fluence felt In politics, and felt for the most part for the good, are the quiet home-bodies, who, while attending to the duties that belong properly to their sphere, also find time to study governmental conditions and needs, and who are able to discuss political and sociological issues with their husbands with intelligence and com prehension enough to interest and, perhaps, to move them. The composition of our social life in America makes many opportunities for the American wife. She has time y,a ranai-niiv th tnst for reading: she has her clubs, where many prob j i i Ipms are aiscussea, &uu n sev erally be found, we think, that when the women make up their minds on matters such as education, or prohibition, or sanitation, the con clusion at which they have arrived ia pretty likely to be a common-sense one. And we are inclined strongly to the belief that this tendency of the American women to take part In the affairs of rovemment not directly. but by furnishing the pwer and soma or tne Drains Demna me vote, is altogether desirable. The opinions they form on subjects which man, in his scorn, sometimes chooses to think are outside of a woman's concern, are basvd on the- -feminine inherent ideas of what is right, and whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, it cannot successfully be denied that their Ideals are hlarher than men's. -Washington Post.

Of all the terrors of the deep the newest, the most appalling, the one which comes without warning, and destroys with one swift, blinding crash, is the meteor. Against all other dangers the mariner may guard. The sunken reefs are charted save in Isolated instances: the fog horn serves when the blanket or gray dusk droops over the ocean and for fire there is always prepara tion. But the meteor comes hissing out of me a-y una a nasn or lightning, on swerving, terrible, destructive. There is a blinding, ear-splitting crash, the ship staggers and plunges beneath the blow, and up through the punctured hull rushes the water that quickly claims her for Its own. The sailing ship Eclipse, 1.460 tons, on a voyage from New Castle to San Francisco, was a victim of the new peril 1,000 miles south of the Sand wich islands. Part of the crew, half dead from exposure and hunger, have arrived here. Captain Lessen tells the story of the wreck. "We had been out eighty-five days," he says, "when we were over taken by a hurricane. The wind was terrific for several hours. The light ning was especially vivid and the peals of thunder were deafening. For hours we floundered through waves that seemed mountain high and swept the decks continuously. "Just as the storm seemed breaking away there came a sudden lighting of the sky, accompanied by a peculiar rushing sound. Coming at us from out or tne heavens was a ball of fire, which we saw but an instant. It struck the foretopmast, which was spunterea into fragments, crashed mrougn tne aeck, and went on through the hold into the sea beneath "The hole was as big as a hogshead in tne aeck. we had little time to in vestigate. Instantly the pumps were manned, out against such a wound they were wholly unavailing. We escaped In the- small boats Just in time." The men spent fifteen days in the small boats before landing on a little island far on the southern edge of the island group. Three men died under the terrible glare of the tropic sun and were tossed overboard, only to be de voured by sharks, which trailed the boat constantly. Honolulu corre spondence to Chicago Tribune.

The bore seems tireless in being tiresome. Love that feeds on vanity is soon starved. Some people are too polite to' tell the truth. You can help a lot sometimes by not giving advice. Trouble never dodges the man wfco Is looking for it. From the masculine point of view obstinacy is the feminine of firmness. Few of us like to have people put off till tomorrow the favors they can do us today. Wlgg "Do you think it is lucky to have a rabbit's foot?" Wagg "I might if I were a rabfcit."

"Who else would "Exactly," Jack agreed. "Who elss would?" Katharine made a desperate effort. to keep back the tears of vexation, and succeeded to a very commendable de gree. One or two. however, refused to be kept within bounds. She made a nnlck little dab at them with her handkerchief, hoping Jack did not notice. Tell me all about it," he urgea sym pathetically. "You haven't given me a very definite idea of what really happened yet." "Oh. I was asleep In the hammock,' explained Katherlne, as If the details Ll.l. AA nntl "anil uorea ner imtn vi.v. .av.s, woke n suddenly. Some one had kissed me. I thought it was the baby tha villain!" "Reginald a villain!" exclaimed jacK, with feigned astonishment. "You know whom l mean," answer ed Katherlne. unresponsive to any humor In the situation. "No. really I don't. Whom do you mean?" "The person who kissed me," Katn- erlne replied, blushing over the una voidable baldness of the admission. "Oh." commented jaca piaciaiy. "Well, granted It was a man. would you recognize it a second time? That is, if you had your eyes closed, and the same man kissed you again, could you identify the kiss, do you think?" 'How perfectly noma or you to sug gest such a thing!" accused Katherine. You don t consider my reelings in tne least. Just like you brutal, cold blooded lawyers, you can't be human If you try." In spite of his effort at control the berated young attorney burst out laughing. It was a most unfortunate thing for him to have done, for im mediately Katherlne buried her face in the hammock cushions and began sob bing convulsively. Jack watched her perplexedly. She loked very appealing In her graceful slenderness. He could think of only one thing to do and he did it. Katherine was on her feet in an in stant, her cheeks tear-stained and flushed with indignation. 'So it was you the first time after all. Jack Klngsley," she exclaimed. "I think you're too contemptible for words. You're a thief and a and you don't tell the truth and 'Not so fast, not so fast," begged Jack gently. "I really wasn't the first one, Katherine, upon my honor, but 'Well, what In Cupid's name are you two quarreling about V called Bill Henri ng from the near background. Can't an unmarried man pardon me. I should have said an ineligible man find one undisturbed spot In this hy meneal garden? Just passed two other lovers down the path who seemed to be a bit out of tune. It must be the weather." 'I assure you the weather has noth ing to do with it, Mr. Hemlng," an swered aKtherine haughtily. 'She's right. Bill, assented Jack gen ially. "The cause of our seeming dis agreement Is purely" 'imaginary, interrupted Katnerine with such manifest alarm that both men laughed heartily. But In spite of this little diversion. the conversation dragged along apath etically, and Bill at length gave up his attempts to mend the situation. "Well," be said yawning ostentatious ly, "guess I'll go in and play with the infant. He's nearer my level than you self-absorbed grown-ups. By the way. Miss Katherine, how did you like our little Joker Whose what little Joke r demanded Katherlne apprehensively. 'Reginald s and mine, of course.

I Just help ed Reginald." "But what what did you run awa for?" Katherine pursued inquiringly. "Oh, that's a little habit of mine. Miss Katherine," was Heming'a cabal istic reply, aa musing he walked to ward the house. "Queer old duffer. Isn't her com mented Jack., by way of giving Kath erine time for a bit of mental read justment. "The rest of the house party call him 'Bill the Matchmaker,' she re marked. Her manner was wholly im personal. "I don't wonder," Jack assented. There was an awkward little Si lence. "Jack." "What is It, Katherine?" "What were you going to ten him was the cause of our our quarrel?" "I started to say the cause was purely osculatory." "Jack!" "Well, wasn't it? Tell me, Kather lne, were you really awfully angry with me?" Katherine nodded, "For two reas ons," she said with emphasia "One, because I thought you had been tbe first one who kissed me and that you had lied about It." "And the second?" "Because if you weren't the first I I was sorry you had not been. Jack." For several seconds there was un ruffled quiet in the "hymeneal gar den." Then Jack broke the serenity with a question. "When shall we tell the othersT" he asked softly. "Oh, not for days and days." de clared Katherine Jealously. "It's such, fun to have a secret." But inside the house, without wait ing for authority, a two-year-old baby was babbling to the admiring group gathered about him. "Man say kiss Katha. Kiss Katha man," and all smiled comprehen sively.

But for free speech some people wouldn't talk so freely. Occasionally a weak-voiced man uses strong language. In the race for wealth but few man have a walk-over. Even a homely man doesn't look It after you get used to him. Some silly people play with fire Just to see if It will burn them. Anyway there will probably be no Merry Widow halos in heaven. If we all had our way It would keen other people busy getting out of it. A HtUe girl hates to be kissed by a man almost as mucn as a big girl doesn't. There Is nothing green about the grass widow who can rope in a rich old bachelor. Give us continuous contentment and you may have perpetual motion providing you can get it, Many a man's idea of a vacation Is to get away from home for a time so that he won't have to live up to his' reputation. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. When a boy can earn a living It's because his father won't do it for him. Unless a man is careful about his money the first thing he knows some of it will be gone on useful things. Ideals can be very valuable to neo.' pie who have no chance to experiment with them in practical affairs. A woman is so proud of dolna- her duty she can keep on loving her hus band long after she knows she doesn't. The way for a girl to learn to drive is to go buggy riding with a man who can't manage a horse with one hand.

Editor-Postmaster-County-Atty-Merchant Approves Governor. A loose-jointed, red faced man with a drooping moustache and a fiat, squashy-looking valise, ambled awk wardly into Governor Hoch's office this morning and greeted the gover nor thus: "'You're the goveronr, ain't you? Thought you looked like him. I just wanted to come in and tell you that I'm mighty well pleased with the way you have been running things during your second term. I'm from Grant county. Henthorne's my name, E. M. Henthorne." "Very glad to see you. Mr. Hen thorne," said the governor, cordially. I judge that you re a merchant out in your county?" pointing to one of the red, white and blue guest badges of the Topeka Jobbers' association, which the merchant wore on his cdat. "Yes. I'm a merchant and I'm also county attorney. And I'm postmaster. I run a newspaper, too the Grant County Republican. I sell real estate and write Insurance." "Well, "you're about the whole thing, aren't you?" laughed the gover nor. 1 "Oh. not quite. I got the postmas ters hip and the newspaper when no body else would have 'em. The news paper was busted fiat and the post office paid only $14 a month. I've had both of them for nine years now, but I don't know how much longer they will let me keep 'em. wen. l just wanted to tell you that I think you are making a good record in your sec ond term. I didn't like your first term much, but you and tne attorney gen eral have both been doing good work. I always says just about what I think about such things." "Glad you approve or my secona term, anyway." said the governor, slapping the far western editor, office holder and business man on the shoul der. J1h home stretch is the impor tant part after all." "Guess that's rignt, governor, as sented Mr. Henthorne. "And If you ever come out to Grant county, look me up." "I'll do that." said the governor, "111 Inquire for the man who holds all the offices." "Not aulte all yet," said Henthorne: "there are a few left that I haven't got." And the breezy resident of the coun. ty without a railroad wafted himself out of the gUDernatoriai apartments. CUT III WAGES. Or Raise in Rates Discussed by Trunk i Line Presidents. New York. July 18. The presidents of eastern trunk lines met today to discuss the question whether there shall be an Increase In freight rates. It Is understood that they discussed raising freight rates 10 per cent or the alternative of reducing wages 10 per cent. It was reported that E. H. Harriman was opposed to a cut In wages, while the representatives of sev eral other lines favored that course rather than an Increase in raitea. DR. HIlIi WAS PARTTCTTLAR. Whipped by Woman Didn't Want Ser vices of Deputy County Attorney. "Dr." W. C. Hull, an aged man with a grievance, called at the county at torney's office last evening and de manded "justice." He said that ne had been assaulted by a woman, and almost killed. He exhibited a torn shirt sleeve to substantiate his story of great injury. Assistant Attorney Atchison said he would be pleased to hear a statement of the case, but the old man deposed as follows: "I don't want any fool deputy monkeying with my case. I want to see John Schenck. so I may get Justice and protection." All argument was rutlle. Dr. Hull remained in the office for several hours, and came back again this morning. Finally he agreed to talk with the deputies, and told them that Mr. and Mrs. Dreyer, with whom he roomed at 120 Monroe street, had tried to kill him a few times and throw him down stairs. The csDcials discovered that there were two sides to the story, but told the old man that unless he made a good case, the costs would be assessed against him. "That is all right." said the doc tor, "but I am going to get my own lawyer to prosecute. I will not risk my case with you fellows." A. complaint against ur, and Mrs. Dreyer was issued. F. A.

AN KX CITING LIVE BIRD SHOOT. Topeka Sportsmen Hold Trap Contest and Make Good Scores. There are very few towns in Kansas which have as good material for a record making gun club as Topeka.

Paul Mulvane, Charles Gault and Earl Ewart had never shot live birds before,- but a glance at the score would indicate professional work. L. Biscoe and H. S. Montgomery are experienced trap shooters. Montgomery made a clean score and Mulvnna tiA pi.nn. There are good prospects for a friend ly contest in a team snoot, made up of members of the club, to take place in the near future, and a match with out of town sportmen Is being worked up.

PARDON FOR INHUMAN FATHER. Was Sent to Prison for Permitting usugnier to fir 01 .neglect. Sullivan Lomax, an attorney front Cherryvale, appeared before Gover nor Hoch today and applied for a par don for Rudolph Brockman, who in 1897 was convicted in Labette coun ty and sent to the state prison for life for the murder of his little daughter, Mary. It was shown that Brockman al lowed the child to die or neglect and starvation. Some of the papers in the case indicate that the father was an. Ignorant foreigner who could hardly talk English, and some things in dicate that his sentence was too severe. An application for a pardon was made to Governor Stanley and rejected. Governor Hoch stated to day that he bad considered the case carefully several times, and had not round any circumstances to warrant his interference.

America and the United Kingdom are running a neck and neck race for supremacy at the Olympic games. The United Kingdom Started the day with four places to America's two, but America picked up in the earlier events and won all three prizes in the discus throwing and first and third prizes in the weight throw ing. Horgati, who has competed alter nately under the colors of Ireland and America, Is now with the United King dom. He took second place in the latter event. This evened up the: cores of the two countries but Eng land got another slight lead when Taylor made his sensational win in the 400 meters swimming contest, beating Beaupraire, the Australian crack, by a handsome margin. Scheff of Australia, on whom great things had been ex pected, was third in this event. It had been fully expected that America would take aH-three -prizes in the weight puttrfig.-alph Rose. .San Fran cisco, was first, and J. C. Garrells, 1 r-hiosas-n A A. third. W W. One. 1r..

Americans who com peted, could not get Inside the stand ard. The only man who came near the winners was W. G. Arvien of Norway. Nevertheless the Americans welcomed this win. as it reduced Great Britain's lead in the aggregate and If second and third places were counted it alone would bring the two countries to about equal terms. A great cheer, therefore, went up when the result was anounced. This burst of enthusiasm was follow ed by a calm during which the occu pants of the stands where" the Ameri cans gathered awaited the hoisting of the stars and stripes on the flagstaff In the center of the arean. Ahey wait ed In vain, however, as the blue Jacket to whom this duty had been assigned had sought shelter from the down pour of rain which had made the day's sport a cheerfleas affair. Counting only the field events for which the Americans are making the serious bid the Americans at the con clusion of today's meeting had a lead over the United Kingdom of 19 points, the figures being 31 and 12 respectively. They are made up as follows: America Throwing the hammer. 8: team race, 3; discus throwing, 9; put ting the shot, 6, and 1,500 meter race, 6; a total of 31.

Lee J. uaiDOt. insn American A. C, however, did slightly better than Flanagan, reaching a frac tion below 126 feet. Neither Garrells of the Chicago A. A., nor S. T. Gillls. of the New York A. C. could get into the swing and they fell far behind their team mates. A drizzling rain fell all the morning and the attendance was less than on any previous day. A contingent of Americans came out, especially 10 see the discus throwing and by their cheers they gave a little life to the proceedings wnen tne conclusive Amer ican victory in this event was an nounced.

Stanley Hill, representing the Sad dle Rock hotel of Council Grove and one of the original boomers of that place arrived late Wednesday after noon, and. has been a busy person since that time. "This Is one of the greatest gatherings of the kind that I have ever attended." said Mr. Hill, "and I must admit that I am surprised at the attendance and the enthusiasm of Topeka and Its representatives. I am at a loss, however, to understand why a town as live as this one seems to be will let the Topeka and South western railroad proposition drag as it is doing. I have not met any of the knockers on the proposition, but the bushes must be full of them Judging from the headway that la being made. If Topeka does not want to build the road from this end why not turn It over to Council Grove and let us complete the line. We are not many in numbers, but if the construction of the line had been left to Council Grove we would have had the road built almost to the west line of Shaw nee county from the other direction by this time." Concert at Auditorium. The six "Seeing Topeka" cars return ed to the Eighth street Junction at 11 o'clock promptly and the concert in the Auditorium began at 11:05. Topeka people responded to the spirit of the occasion and the great hall was com fortably filled when Marshall's band played the overture. Prof. W. F. Roehr rendered a selection from Tann hauser on the pipe organ which was better calculated to bring into play the capacity of the Instrument and the technique of the player than to inspire an average audience with its melody. The Modoc club sang "Kansas," Miss Jessie Waller rendered a classic on the violin. At this juncture Mr. Marshall stepped into the breach and enthused the great audience with a medley of the. beautiful old southern tunes of Steohen C. Foster:, these were follow ed by Dixie and the crowd "wenf wild? A lady in the balcony rose to her feet and waved her kerchief and soon the rows of seats were a sea of wav ing color. America brought the crowd to its feet and the. building shook un der the roar of applause that greeted the bandmaster's tact in meeting the wishes of the large majority for the pieces the people love. A Topeka Song. The following song written by N. B. Thompson and Major T. J. Anderson was sung by the Modocs: Oh Topeka Is the town that's on the boom, Our fame is rapidly becoming known. And if you can trade with us, Why, of course Its grow or bust. And we'll have a city honored through, out Kansas. T We are anxious to shake you by the hand. And a concert we'll give by Marshall's band. You will find us at your heels, For a spin in our automobiles. Then a banquet on our beautiful roof garden. Now the mayor of this town is William Green, Who has promised to have everything sereen; And with Holllday and others. We Invite you here as brothers. And we'll all take oft our hats to grow. ing Kansas. When you think you must go and take your train. We hope you will remember to come again, For we want you to be one of us. And that you will forget none of us. For we believe there s a future awaiting Sunny Kansas. Oh, the National roof garden is the rase. You reach it In a dandy little cage. It's our way of getting high While the town's so awful dry. Tho it rains and rains and rains in Sunny Kansas. The Auto Parade. The concert closed at 12:20, and after an hour for luncheon the guests pre pared for the automobile tour of the city. Seventy-five machines were promised, and at least 60 were lined up on the avenue at z o ciock tor tne start. They made a grand showing as they moved down the avenue to Sixth and then turned east to Jefferson street. After 8 tour over North Topeka the visitors were whirled back over to the South side and west clear to the asylum ground. From that point they were taken south to and through the Washburn college grounds and back to the starting point by way of Kansas avenue from the south limits of the city. The Run of the Fire Fighters. At 3:30 p. m. one of the feature events of the day given by Chief Wllmarth of the Topeka fire departments when he lined up the wagons from nine sta tions in a procession on Quincy street from Eighth to f ourth streets, and fol lowed this with a Ore alarm and run to an Imaginary fire in the Auditor ium. The wagons were bunched on Fifth and Quincy streets when the fire alarm rang, and the hook and ladder. chemical and hose, wagons of No. 3 made a wild dash south on Quincy for the scene of the supposed fire. They were followed by the steamer and three wagons from No. 2. When the No. 3 wagon reached the city nail the vast crowd of spectators that lined the streets were treated to a most inter esting and exciting view of trained fire men in action. Ladders shot up the sides of the walls in a trinkllng and the firemen swarmed up to tho root of the- city building dragging their hose .f... them- incredibly short and threw a flood of water against the streams. B"t the Are laddies in No. 2 had not been Idle. They reached the scene a few moments after No; 3 and quickly made connections with their hose from the Seventh and Eighth street hydrants and .then a flood of water against the sides of the building. This exhibition was quickly followed by an aerial ladder drill. The upright ladders were shot up into the air to a height of 90 feet and the athletic and fearless firemen scaled them as though they were stair steps. In the hose drills a double connection was made and an exhibition given of the powers of the "cellar nozzle." The nozzle is used to flood the flames under floors and in basements and throws a wide fan shaped stream of tremendous force and volume. The Topeka fire department covered itself with glory during the exhibition and by its quick work and skill won golden opinions from Topeka people as well as the country visitors. It is not often that either city or county people have the opportunity of seeing such a complete and exciting fire drill. OfT for Vlnewood. At 4 o'clock the visitors climbed aboard the cars for Vinewood to spend a couple of hours In a dizzy whirl of gaiety at Topeka's noted pleasure ground. They will be taken through five concessions, namely the Hales' Tours, carousel, crazy house, toboggan and figure 8. Printed on the invitations and pro grams sent out to all the 5,000 Kansas merchants that patronize Topeka were the magic words: "Kansas for Kan sans." The spirit of this motto breath ed an appeal for patronage of home in dustries and concerns as far as possi ble. The idea was to stir Kansas people to the necessity of building up cities In their own state that can foster in stitutions of size and variety sufficient to furnish the majority of the state's needs. The fifty manufacturing and jobing concerns behind the movement were not seeking for trade for them selves individually so much as they desired to stir the Kansas spirit to an appreciation of Kansas resources. If they ould get "the country merchants to come to Topeka and spend a few days there was no doubt about being able to "show" the visitors some in teresting things about their capital city as a desirable place to trade that they did not know of before. The idea of this week was for Kan sans to get acquainted with each other and not to sell goods or buy goods. It has succeeded. The manner in which the Kansas merchants rose to the occasion was a revelation to the Topeka promoters of the project. Three hundred were expected. Six hundred came and any one of these visitors that was ap proached this afternoon on the sub ject of how he was enjoying himself warmed right up and talked en thusiastically of the "trip and time of my life." Commercial Club Busy. The Commercial club rooms were thronged all day by country visitors and the committeemen of the Topeka Jobbers and Manufacturers' associa tion and everybody there was in the best kind" of humor. They talked as fast and furious as college chums at a reunion. The Banquet Tonight. The banquet to be given on the roof garden of. the Hvm National hotel to night. wiU. te,J,he rowning feature of Merchants' week and one of the most brilliant and .'notable of the many similar events given in this city. The garden has a capacity of only 440 plates, so It will be efecessary to pro vide accommodations for over 100 guests in the dining room. When the speaking begins all the feasters will be gathered on the roof. The guests will take their seats to the accompaniment of orchestra music and will be entertained by vaudeville between the courses. A. W. Dana, judge of the Shawnee district court, will act as toastmaster, and such well known after dinner speakers as Gov. E. H. Hoch, T. A. McNeal, E. D. McKeever, ex-Mayor W. H. Davis, Mayor Wm. Green and E. Johnson of Atchison are on the programme for addresses. A half dozen Topeka wholesalers will make five minute talks, and certain out of town guests will make the responses. The Programme. 7:40 p. m. Grand roof garden ban quet on top of the new National hotel. Prominent atter-dlnner speakers will give addresses and other entertain ment features will be provided. We promise you one of the best affairs of the kind you ever attended. FRIDAY. No special entertainment programme has been provided for this day but ev ery Jobber and manufacturer will keep open house. The chairmen of the various com mittees report everything in readiness for the entertainment of the visitors. From the number of letters of accept ance already received there is every in dication of a good attendance of coun try merchants here this week. There is a general belief among all local job bers and manufacturers Interested that the movement now under way is but the beginning of a grand annual affair that will be of Inestimable benefit to Topeka. IS TAKING STOCK. National Conservation Commission Has Started Its Work. Washington, July 16. Although scarcely more than a month has elapsed since President Roosevelt ap pointed the national conservation commission, the work of taking stock of the nation s natural resources has begun. This work will be carried on vigorously in order to enable the com mission to make Its report to the president by January 1, next.' A large amount of the material em bracing the subject of conservation of waters, lands and minerals is al ready available In the various execu tive departments, the heads of which have offered hearty co-operation in the great task the commission has undertaken. Other important data will be collected through special channels, including state conserva tion commissions now being formed, and some of the great national organ- izatlons represented at the White House conference recently. By early fall the commission ex pects to have in hand sufficient ma terial to begin the' study of the In ventory of the country's resources, and by the middle of October it hopes to have the greater part of this ma terial in hand, so that the full com mission, which will hold its first meeting in December may at once take up the study of facts the sum mer's work has brought together. One week later the commission will hold a joint meeting in Washington with tho governors of the states, or their representatives with the various state commission. ALIA IS STRANGLED. Murderer of Father Leo Pays the Penalty for His Crime. Canon City. Col.. July 1. Calling down the maledictions of the Moat High upon the Roman shouting In Italian, "Long live Italy "Long" live the Protestants," Guiseppe Alia,-the murderer of Father Leo Heinrichs was carried to the death trap and exactly at :xn nVirwV i- night paid -the extreme penalty of his crime. Perhaps a more senantlnnat unA thrilling scene was never beheld by any of the sixteen persons present, than the execution of this misguided Italian murderer, whose cries and screams were only hushed by the au tomatic springing of the mechanism which forever silenced the tongue that cried for vengeance against those whom Alia had considered the de stroyers of his home and happiness. At 4 o'clock Warden Cleghorn of the state penitentiary through his In terpreter, Antonio Sasso, a prison guard, read the death warrant to Alia. Contrary to expectations the prisoner exhibited no emotion, not even moving a muscle, and when the reading was finished, said: "All right. I am ready to die now." At 6 o'clock supper was served to the prisoner. It being the regular meal served to the officers of the prison. Before eating he divided It into five portions, saying that one was for his wife, one for himself and one each for his three children. He ate with apparent composure and relish. At 7 o clock Guard Sasso came to him with the information that within an hour the execution would take place. Alia, again assented and said he was ready at any time. He furth er said he felt no sorrow whatever for killing Father Leo. He was certain that Father Leo was the man he had been searching for many months and claimed that he had recognized the priest by a scar on the side of his face. Alia said he had worked for Father Leo in Portugal and was. sure that he had killed the right man. Alia said he did not belive there was a God, for if so he would not be per mitted to be in his present, predica ment. He said he found no fault with the law, but that the priest did wrong in breaking up his family. At 8:30 o'clock everything being In readiness, the warden's assistants ap proached Alia s cell and led the con demned man to the execution house where the black cap and noose were adjusted by the deputy. During this procedure Alia became frantic and rent the air with yells and curses against the priesthood and shouting "Long live Italy Long live me ito testants." Alia was placed upon the trap. Chaplain Blake of the prison uttered a short prayer, me aripptng water of the automatic mechanism release the great weight, and at ex actly 8: SO the body was Jerked Into the air. Unfortunately, his neck was not broken owing to the slipping- of the rope and he died of strangulation. After nineteen minutes Alla's body was cut down and he was- pronounced dead. TO OPEN IN THE WEST. Hitchcock WU1 Start Republican Campaign at Colorado Springs. Washington, D. C, July 16 Chair man Frank H. Hitchcock of the Re publican national committee will open the campaign of 1908 In the far west. Practically the first movement in the campaign for the election of Wm. H. Taft and James S. Sherman, respec tively, to the presidency and vice pres idency will be made at Colorado Springs next Monday and Tuesday, July 20 and 21. At that time in the Antlers hotel at Colorado Springs. Chairman Hitchcock will hold a con ference with the Republican leaders of all the states and territories west of the Missouri river. Represented at the conference will be North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Ok lahoma. Texas, Montana. Wyoming, Colorado. New Mexico, Idaho. Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Washington. Oregon and California. The Republican chair man and the Republican national com mitteemen of the several states and territories have been invited by Chair man Hitchcock to attend the confer ence and all of them have notified him of their Intention to be present. At the Colorado Springs conference careful plans will be mapped out for the campaign In the west; methods will be discussed and. speakers for the various states arranged for so far as may be possible. In the future similar conferences will be held by .Chairman Hitchcock with Republican leaders in tne middle west and in the east. The place of the middle west confer ence will be Chicago and it probably will be held about ten days after the Colorado Springs conference. Some time subsequently a conference of the eastern leaders will be held in New York City. It can be said to be not unlikely that Mr. Hitchcock may make his per manent headquarters during the cam paign in Chicago instead of New York. He has the question under considera tion but has reached no definite con clusion. Final decision of the matter may depend to some extent upon the selection of a vice chairman of the na tional committee. It has not been de termined yet who that may be, and It is not the purpose of Mr. Hitchcock to name the vice chairman until he is pre pared to announce the national execu tive committee. He may not make this announcement until early in Au gust. At the conclusion of the Colorado Springs conference. Chairman Hitch cock will return to Chicago for a brief stay In that city and will go thence to Cincinnati to attend the ceremonies in cident to the notification of Judge Taft of his nomination for the presidency on July 28. From Cincinnati Mr. Hitch cock Intends to go to New York in or der to open formally the national head quarters in that city about the first of August. The headquarters win be opened a week or ten days later in Chicago. It already has been decided that the literary bureaus of the national and congressional committees shall be merged into one and that the work shall be directed from national head quarters. Francis Curtis, who has had extensive experience in campaign edi torial work, with the congressional committee will have charge of the edi torial department. while some man, yet to be selected, will attend to tha executive work of the literary bureau. It is not improbable that while the identity of the two committees will be preserved the speakers' bureau also may be directed rrom national nead- auarters. Chairman Hitchcock expressed grat ification at the condition or Kepresen tative Sherman's health. He has gain ed strength rapidly In the last few days and Mr. Hitchcock expressed the belief that he had quite recovered from hut recent serious Illness.

If the presi dent will consent his voice will be heard in the coming campaign, even though he remains quietly at Saga more Hill or in the White House at Washington. He is now asked to make a number of speeches into a receiver of a phonograph, the speeches of course, to be of his own choosing, but preferably bearing upon some of the vital questions of the campaign. An agent of one of the large talking machine concerns has laid the matter before the president through Secretary Loeb. The agent called, the secre tary's attention to the fact that his phonograph company has -ten or a dozen records of Mr. Bryan's voice. While of course it is not possible to announce officially the president's de cision, the odds are largely against the phonograph concern's hopes. It is not likely that the president will care to engage in a phonographic Joint debate with Mr. Bryan. HE FEEDS THE HUNGRY. Poor Worklngnian Provides for Needs of His Fellows. New York, July 16. One hundred men a day are being fed free of cost bv John Morgan, himself a poor work irigman, at No. 102 Christopher street, and so quietly that not even residents of the neighborhood have known what was going on. Every evening at 7 o'clcok scores of hungry men out of employment appear in groups of eight or ten and for a full hour they come and go, crowding the small room to Its full capacity. Kvery man helps himself to soup and bread and coffee without stint, and he is at liberty to obtain his breakfast and dinner there for a reasonable time until he shall have a chance to get work. Mr. Morgan has been carrying on the work on a small scale for the last two or three years, but the demands on him have increased so that his ac commodations are now taxed to their run capacity. He has no money and has found co-operation in his work from his daughter.

DODGING THTAW. Railroads Evade Nine Hour llegula tlon by Installing Telephones. Chicago, July 16. The Record-Herald says: The day of the telegraph for the op eratlon and dispatoh of railroad trains is rapidly passim? and the day of the leiepnor.e is at hand. The substitution of the telephone for the telegraph in train service is progressing rapidly, the movement having been accelerated greatly by the passage and operation or tne nine-nour telegraph law. The Northwestern, the Illinois Cen tral, the Rock Island and the Burling' ton railroads have In operation tele- phone systems covering nearly 1.400 miles of railroad. These same railroads are preparing to Install within the next two months telephones for the operation of more than 1.600 miles of additional road. In addition to this work every railroad in the United States is making careful investigation or the subject of train operation by telephone with a view to installing the best system possible.

Mlmmtm, Go. Would Apply to Cigar, Candy Stores and .Newspaper?. .said The city council will now attempt to go gunning for the Sunday theater and all Sunday amusements with a new weapon. The weapon is in the form of a new ordinance to be Introduced at the next regular meeting of the council on August 3rd and which will provide for the regulation of all licensed amuse ments and included in this scope of regulation will be the forbidding of any Sunday amusements. The city attorney has already pre pared the form of the ordinance and insists that it can stand 'the test of courts as to its constitutionality. He claims that it is a perfectly good gun with which to go hunting, that its Fights are perfect, the barrels of da- mascus steel, has a safety feature and Is an accurate, hard shooter. The theater people say the proposed law is nothing but a flobert and a cheap one at that when it comes to being a weapon. So, there you are. It will be up In the courts again and the theater people will probably enjoy the respite at least which will follow until the district and In turn the supreme court has passed upon the law. If the law is declared un constitutional then they will continue to swing wide their doors seven days in the week and if the other sort of a decision comes down-well, maybe, they will close up on Sunday. But the last is a guess. Councilmen have requested the city attorney's office to draft an ordinance providing for regulation and assuming a new tack to a solution of the vex Dome question. "The ordinance will be introduced at the August, meeting oi the council, which comes on the 3d," said the city attorney. "I have looked up the question very carefully and I feel sure that the ordinance will be proven good law. There Is not an other ordinance Just exactly like it and we are cutting loose from our moorings and turning out but I think that we can demonstrate the strength of our position based on decisions of the court. Mayor Wm. Green admitted that an ordinance calling for regulation was under consideration. It was talked of last fall but it was not adopted for several reasons, one temg that the theater managers at the time ex pressed themselves, as content to test the existing labor i ordinance the mayor. tr Will Test cw Iiaw. "We certainly will test the new law when it is passed,", .said Galen Nichols, an attorney-for- the theatrical interests. If the lid fits on tightly in Topeka Sunday 'no prosecutions will follow but if the confectionery ana cigar stores remain open, the drug stores sell soda and cigars representa tives of the theaters will spread out over the city seeking evidence which they will submit to the police Judge and ask for the arrest of the parties found violating the Sunday labor law. "We have got considerable evi dence together already," said Nichols, "secured about a week ago. What we will do Sunday depends altogether on whether these places open 'up.(: Any of these places where we, take H .tne. law is violated will be considered This will take in the newspapers and all the other stores, with the excep tion of the drug stores where no soda or cigars are sold. "Will it include the street cars? 'Well, no." The theatrical interests were dubious as to the policy the chief of ponce might follow upon the sub mission of the evidence. "If Judge Urmy swears to the com plaints there is nothing for Chief Eaton to do but make the arrests,' said the mayor. "He is an officer of the court and they could mandamus him. The situation will largely lie with Judge urmy 1- Jsive never talked with him about it but I pre sume that if any responsible parties come before him with a complaint that he will swear to it. "If the complaints are written out I will swear to them" said Judge Urmy. "It's the business of the city attorney to write them out and if thev are properly written out and presented will certainly act as any Judge of a police court should. "Let them get busy" said the city at torney. "If they want-to start some thing next Sunday this office will be ready. There will be no lagging here. "Mayor, had I better buy my Sunday supply of cigars and ice cream on Sat urday?" asked a man laughingly at the city hall this morning. "Well It-might be a good idea to buy your cigars but your ice cream would probably melt," returned the city' chief executive. As far as the machinery of the police court ana tne ponce officers is co- cerned it is at the disposal of the the atrical interests if they follow out the proper forms but arrests of organists and paid choirs at the churches will not be included as a part so at least was the opinion expressed by mayor. The new ordinance will embrace the aters, merry-go-rounds, circuses and all forms of amusement which the city licenses to carry on business. FUTURE IS BRIGHT.

BEST fORTSt SHU AW UM Mc.J mil in 1 1, il (Hs-Aa tSt-SOiTnateaiasiati II'1 twits fTO-NIGHT COMES TOAN END Freight Bate Hearing Post poned Till September 3.' Railway Companies Introduced Much Tabulated Evidence. MR.GRATTAITSTHE0RY It It That Figures Do Not Pre sent Real Conditions. Mr. Conrad's Showing Concern ing the Leavenworth Branch. The taking of testimony In the Kan sas freight rate case, which was com menced Wednesday before Special Master Z. T. Hazen, was continued Wednesday afternoon until Septem ber 3. The attorneys in the case de sired to go away on their summer va cations, and the state wanted time to look over a large mass of tabulated evidence which, the railway companies introduced. The case which came up for hearing was that of the Leavenworth Tope ka railway company. This is a short line owned by the Santa Fe and Union Pacific railways but operated inde pendently. The railway companies Introduced evidence showing that the road has been operated by the two companies since 1800, and that it has been operated at a loss every year. The companies will contend that a re duction in freight gates' would, involve a still further loss., p. y.v The theory of the attorneys for the state is that the figures presented by the railway companies do not present the true state of affairs; that an effort la being made to pile up earnings on a "paper valuation." "What the state wants to do," said S. F. Grattan, attorney for the board, "is to follow the ruling of the United States supreme court and allow the companies to make a reasonable profit on the actual investment, not on the amount of bonds and stocks which do not truly represent the value of the properties. If this Leavenworth and Topeka line has been losing money steadily for yearns, why do the Santa Fe and Union Pacific railways contin ue to hold and operate it?" Asked whether an adverse decision in the Leavenworth and Topeka rail way case would affect the cases against the other larger railways in the state, all of which have cases pending of exactly similar nature Mr. Grattan said: "Each one of those cases stands absolutely on its own bottom. The decision in one case will not affect the other cases. If any road can show that it can not be profitably operated under the proposed schedule of freight rates, then it will be ex empted from putting those rates in. The evidence of each case will be taken separately." The evidence which the railway companies introduced in their behalf shows they have been at- work for months accumulating exact informa tion concerning the effect xt the" pro posed rates. They were able to trace each freight way bill, showing the revenue derived from each shipment, and the amount which would have been derived under the proposed new tariff. There .is no doubt that the railway companies are prepared to make a strong showing before the United States court. They will fight the introduction of the new rates squarely on the ground that the said rates are unreasonably low, and con fiscatory. They will In all probability not challenge the right of the board to make the order. The attorneys for the state -were given leave to file an application for more information- concerning the schedules prepared Land .the- applica tion is now being drnrni up. A. E. Helm, otj t Wichita c the: wll known freight rate attorney, and Democratic candidate for Judge of ihe supreme court, has been employed by the railroad commissioners to assist the board's attorney, G. P. Grattan, in trying the case. F. S. Jackson, attor ney general, is also in the case.- Doesn't Pay Expenses. "The Leavenworth Topeka Rail road company never earned enough revenue to pay its expenses. It never paid dividends and paid Interest only by issuing new bonds.'' This statement was made upen the stand by A. L. Conrad, auditor of the Leavenworth Topka.. Railroad com pany. r;-..ivt t. Conrad then drove home his state ment with figures for four fiscal years, from 1904 to 1908.. These four; years were elected by the railroad company to prove its contention that the pro posed rate is confiscatory, and will not earn sufficient revenue to pay the in vestment. The figures which Conrad gave show present conditions, and show the road to be a losing venture under the rates now in existence. He stated that in these four years the ex penses on this line of railroad had ex ceeded the total- freight, passenger and miscellaneous revenues by 383,414.94. The total net deficits including taxes and interest on this line are by year: 1904- 05 -v.... $25,703.50 1905- 06 30.377.39 1906- 07 11,235.38 1907- 08 16.098.67 For 1904-5 the revenue was 346.512.19: expenses. $59,218.75; taxes, 35.845.36; rentals. $746. For 1905-6 the revenue was $53,730.23. expenses, $68,603.67; taxes $7,453.78; rentals, $S59. For 1906-7 the revenue was $57,894.57; expenses. $53, 263.31; taxes. $6,761.89; rentals. $945.
