TWO CdJTCL DID NOT LIKE IT Many Voters Resent Open Ballot Feature Today. Leave Polling Places Bather Than Declare Themselres. A GOOD SIZED VOTE. This Is Indicated by Figures This Afternoon. Yery Few Democrats Are Cast ing Their Ballots. The nomination by primary had Its first try out under the new law in To peka today and it developed that the ordinary voter is reluctant to declare to which party he belongs. Here and there were precincts where such an experience was. not encountered by the election .boards but in the main the voter does not like to answer to the Query. The law provides that the vo ter must state his party affiliation be fore rectvlng the ballot. Some of the voters thought that when this question was proposed it was done merely as a Joke but when it was explained to them they received It in good grace. Others without asking for an explanation be came angered and refused to vote. One man in the Second ward became so enraged at what he te'rmed the fool ishness and impertinence of the law that he tore up his ballot and would not vote, others simply turned around and walked out of the polling place without voting. This attitude on the part of the voters was manifest in all parts of the city, it happened in the Third and Fourth wards as well as the Second. The number was not large, averaging probably In some districts not more than 10 in 200 votes cast. Democrats and Socialists were the most frequent voters to take umbrage at the question and the filing was probably in part measure due to the reluctance on the part of men to show their affiliation with the party that is not dominent. A great many people do not seem to know that the election today Is simply to name the party ticket and not to place in office. One man who thought lit was a regular election appeared at a polling place to receive his bal lot but when he learned that it was Flmply a primary nomination he stamp ed out with ruffled feelings and assum ed that he had been buncoed into the belief that this decided things. "Some of them Just know It's -I'.lng day and come in and vote." said one Judge of an eiectuu..ana ne isusnou. Chances favor the carrying of the citv bv the Long-Leland combination on" the" Republican ticket, though some late back tracking' of Voter from Long to Brlstow has caused a revision of figures and considerable uncertainty by the dopesters. Democrats have all taken to the wood today or else they are voting the Republican ticket pretty consist ently. You are at liberty to draw your own opinion. In the Second ward which is generally considered to be a Democratic strongohld the great est number of Democratic votes cast In any one precinct Just before noon did not exceed 15 out of 65 votes cast. The entire Democratic vote in the Second ward did not approximate "5 in the Second out of about 500 votes polled. In the Third ward the Democrats had not mustered to exceed oo votes out of about 450 votes counted at 12 o'clock. The first precinct in the Fifth ward voted early and steadily, rolling up the greatest number of votes of any precinct In the city at 12 o'clock. 268 with a registration of 682. This is due In a large measure to the strenuous efforts expended by former Council man James Shimer to capture the office of county commissioner. Shi mer lives in the precinct which shows one of the heaviest registrations in all of its history. In general the voting .places west of Kansas avenue were the ones most frequented In the morning and at that time thpy showed a far greater propor tion of the vote cast to the registration than any of the precincts east of Kan- sns avenue, xne latter part oi me city Is populated heavily by employes of the Santa Fe shops. The shops closed down at twelve o'clock and the voters on the east side staved off the duty of going to the polls until their leisure time this afternoon. A heavy vote will therefore come In from 1 o'clock until 6 o'clock, at which time the polls close. Taking the wards it is conceded that the Second ward will be carried by Iong-Leland as against Rrlstow Ftubbs, the Fifth ward will go to the Ftubbs-Brlstow seemingly though the colored vote, heavy as it Is. will carry the third precinct of the Fifth with out question for Long. The Third. Fourth and First wards are apparently horse races with thi majority of the votes cast by the Re publicans favoring the nomination of Iceland and Long. The Sixth ward Votes for Stubbs-Brlstow. Lonjr-Stubbs. While the active forces in many cases seem to be Bristow-Stubbs and Long-Leland, there are being cast many votes which are for Long for the senatorial nomination and Stubbs for governor. Quiet on North Siile. North Topeka. or the First ward, is as quiet as a grave yard as far as in dications of a primary election are concerned. There was a light rush t each of the voting precincts early In the morning but this soon died down to a steady grind of about ten votes an hour and this pace was re tained until the noon hour when there was another light spurt. One hundred and thirty voters are registered in the first precinct of this -ward and of this number but one-fourth had voted at the noon hour, five of the voters call ing for and receiving Democrat bal lots. In the second precinct of the First Ward 24 9 voters tinvo r.ffl.t.rai4 here flg In the first nnrlnnt iHa., fourth of the vote was cast at the noon hour, fifteen Democrats being among this number. In this ward one tealous supporter -of Capron for herlff announced that he wanted a Democratic ballot as he wanted to rote for Just one man on the ticket nd that he did not care a rap for the rest of the nominees. He was one of ELECTIOX BULLETINS. The State Journa' will display bul letins tonight covering today's primaries. the few, evidently who had not been seen by the friends of others whose names appeared on the ballot. He was marked for slaughter by the friends of other candidates in case he attempts to vote anything but a Democratic ballot at the elections and he has always been known as a Re publican. The ratio of votes cast was the same in the third precinct of the First ward where 236 voters have registered their Intention of voting: Nine Demo crats had voted at 1 o'clock. In this precinct two ministers had voted, one of them voting a Republican ticket and his fellow worker capling for a Democratic ballot. The first colored man to vote during the morning voted a Democratic ballot. The vote in the third precinct of the First ward was lighter proportionately than anywhere else in the ward, less than one-fourth of the 309 voters having voted at 1 o'clock. The vote at this hour in this precinct included twelve Democrats and one Prohibi tionist. There was a noticeable absence of ward heelers and politicians at or near the polls and the voters were not compelled to wade through a long line of these pest in order to get a chance to cast his ballot. The voting in the first precinct of the Sixth ward was rather brisk during the early morning hours and again at noon and at 1:30 220 of the 326 voters register ed had cast their ballots, including seven Democrats and .one prohibition ist. Voting slow in Second. In the Second ward, at the first pre cinct at 11 O'clock 65 votes out of a registration of 345 had been cast; at the second precinct 64 out of a total of 332 registered, thirteen were were Democrats; at the fourth precinct 100 votes were cast at 11:15 out of a reg istration of 472. thirteen of the voters were Democrats and one Prohibition: in the fifth precinct. 104 had voted out of a registred number of 358 at 11:30, there were twelve Democrats; in the seventh precinct. Just created, out of a registration of 29 votes eleven were cast at 11:30. In the Third ward, first precinct. 107 voted at 12 o'clock out of 423 register ed, but five Democrats voted here; in the second precinct out of a registra tion of 358, 159 votes were cast at 12:30 and of this number 25 were Democrats, one a Prohibition and one a Socialist; in the third precinct 184 voted at 12:15 out of a registration of 452, eight Dem ocrats voted: in the fourth precinct 162 had voted at 12:30; this is about 50 per cent of the registration, seven Demo crats voted. In the Fifth ward: First precinct at 1 o'clock 285 had appeared at the polling place with a registration of 682; eight Democarts had voted; in the second precinct at 12 o'clock 67 had voted out of 216 registered with ten Democrats counted. One of the heaviest votes polled was n the fourth precinct of the Fourth ward where 220 of the 484 voters reg istered had --cast their votes at 2 o'clock." This vote Included 16 Demor crats. not a Prohibitionist or Socialist. In the third precinct of the Fourth ward 149 of the 378 registered voters had cast their ballots at 2 o'clock. Eights of this number were Demo crats, three Socialists and not an In pendent or Prohibitionist. In the sec and the third precincts of this ward about the same ratio prevailed. The registration is about 75 per cent of the voting strength of the city and the vote cast today will probably reacn 90 per cent of the registration. NEARLY 200 NAMES. That Is What Appears on All Ballots Today Count Slow. On the primary election ballots which are offered to the voters today the number of candidates varies con siderably. The Republican ballot, which con tains nominations for all offices, has from 60 to 70 names, depending upon how many candidates are running In different representative and commis sioner districts, or how many candi dates there are for county precinct committeeman in the precinct exam ined. The Democratic ballot, which Is blank in a number of places because of no nomination, contains from 48 to 55 names. The Socialist ticket gives the names only of candidates for state offices and congressman. There are 27 names on the Socialist ballot. The Prohibition ballot has nomina tions for 26 places, there being no congressional candidate offered. This is a total of almost 200 names to be counted. It takes the Republican voters a good while to vote, for there are op- 1 na-rAAa fnr almnst PVPFV of fice, and on some of them the voter has to stop and make up nis mina al ter he gets into the booth. In counting the votes there is likely to be even more delay than in a general election, for there will be no "straight ballots" to lay into neat piles and tally with one stroke of the pen. In the cities it is likely that most of the counting wiill be contpleted by midnight. A few of the big precincts will be later than that, no doubt. By Wednesday morning it ought to be possible to tell definitely how Shawnee county goes. Definite returns from over the state will not be coming in much until after midnight, and It is believed that the result of the election can not be ac curately stated until Wednesday after noon. Cornell ft Good Man. Ithaca, N. T-. August 4. Barney O'Rourke. for three years right tackle and guard on the Cornell football team, will not return to the university. O'Rourke is now employed by the state engineer's department in Syracuse, and he has decided not to return to Cornell, although he has only one more year to finish his course. Averaging 29 Miles an Hour. Mayence, Aug. 4. Count Zeppelin's airship was sighted from here at half past 3 o'clock this afternoon. The dis tance from Frledriehafen to Mayence is 281 miles. Having left the former place at half past 6 this morning, the aerial navigators have consequently averaged 29 miles an hour including maneuvering;. LAST GUESS MADE Almost Too Good to Believe Says Stubbs. Lei and Belle Upon the Union Labor People. LONG MEN ARE BUSY. Bending Every Effort to Get Ont Their Yote. Admitted Bristow lias Strong Following Among Farmers. W. R. Stubbs, Republican candidate for governor, gave the following state ment Monday night concerning today's primary: "What I hear in my travels about the state seems almost too good to believe. I suppose that it Is natural that a can didate should se.e nothing but the best side of his campaign, but it certainly seems to me that there is no doubt of my nomination. "Leland will get a big vote in Wyan dotte county. He will get a big vote in Fort Scott, Wichita, Atchison and a few other cities. He will get a class of voters there that I can't possibly reach. I am willing to admit that Leland will carry Kansas City by a big majority, but it won't be enough to give him the Second congressional district. The rest of the district outside of Kansas City will be for me, and will give me the district. "Take it outside of the large cities, and I expect to have the best of it afl along the line. There may be a few counties which will go against me, but the farmers are for me that's all there is to it the farmers are for me, and they are going to vote. I believe. "This has been a great campaign. I never enjoyed anything so much in my life as I have enjoyed making this cam paign. If we win tomorrow it will be a splendid triumph for the Roosevelt idea In Kansas. This reform sentiment started right at the White House; start ed with Roosevelt, who believes in put ting things out in the sunshine and taking the people into his confidence. The election of the square deal, or pro gressive candidates in Kansas tomor row does not mean a personal triumph for those candidates, but a triumph for the Roosevelt idea, which sooner or later is bound to prevail in this nation. "I believe that Bristow Is going to win. He has been gaining strength greatly within the past three weeks. I never saw a candidate gain as Bristow has gained. Three weeks ago he didn't know he was running. Today I believe he is in line for the nomination." Cyrus Leland went to his home in Troy Monday Evening, and will not be back in Topeka until Wednesday possibly not then. He will be kept posted on the developments by his campaign manager, Judge Stuart. Mr. Leland is relying for his nom ination on the vote of the cities, the support of the anti-prohibition ele ment, the support of labor unions, and the support of negroes. He will prob ably get the big end of the old soldier vote, but a good sized slice of that vote. will go to Stubbs. "Union labor people throughout the state are going to support me," said Mr. Leland. "The union labor leaders i have been looking up the records for themselves, and the word has gone out through the lodges that Stubbs is unfriendly to the unions. Stubbs vote and failure to vote in. the legislature on matters of vital interest to the un ions has been carefully investigated and the union men know exactly what to expect from him If he is governor. "I believe I will get a tremendous vote in Kansas City, Kan. No one can tell how big my majority there will be, but it will be a big one." Leland will get a very heavy vote in some parts of the Third district, but the Stubbs crowd say that Stubbs will get an even break or better in Chero kee, Cowley, Chautauqua, Wilson and Neosho. Crawford. Labette. Mont gomery and Elk, the remaining coun ties, are conceded to Leland. Leland is also expecting a big vote In the First district, and he will no doubt get it. Doniphan, Atchison and Leavenworth, the river countries, will each pile up a big majority for him. Brown and Nemaha will probably be for Leland, though there are rumors of "trouble" in Nemaha. Jackson and Jefferson are pretty likely to go for Stubbs. Shawnee, the remaining county of the First district, is a problem in It self. Leland expects to carry it, but Stubbs people, wniie not. very con fident, are unwilling to concede the county to Leland. The friends of Senator Long are working hard In every precinct of the state today to get out the Long vote. They are counting much on their ability in getting out the vote. They believe that their organization is such that they will be able to de liver the goods and elect their man. Topeka is an example of how the thing is being worked In every town in the state,, or a more or less ela borate plan. Here in Topeka, bright and early this morning fifteen "Long" automobiles lined up in front of the Copeland and reported to Morton Albaugh for service. These auto mobiles will be placed at the disposal of the Long workers at the various precincts, and will be used to haul voters to the polls. Kvery active supporter of Long is also busy calling up all his personal friends by telephone and urging them to get out and vote for Long. This plan is also being followed by the Long workers In other towns and in the rural telephone districts. "If a fine, well-oiled organization can control a primary, the Long people will nominate their man today. But they are working as hard as though they were taking no chances. Bristow relies on the farmers to pull him through. If the farmers turn out in western and central Kansas, then Mr. Long may have trouble. The western part of the state has a voting strength in the senatorial matter far in excess of their popula tion, because the populous eastern portion does not have as much repre sentation in the legislature per capi ta as does the western. Bristow believes that he will carry most of the .representative and sena torial districts in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts, which are the west ern Kansas districts. He will surely get a good bunch of supporters In the Fourth and Eighth districts. He will pick up a number In the Second, and possible a few In the First and Third. The result of the senatorial election seems to hinge on the outcome in the Sixth and Seventh i districts. There are sixty senators and representatives from the Sixth and Seventh districts. The aggregate population of those two districts is less than 250,000. The total number of representatives and sen ators in the state is 165 and the total population 1,650,000. These two dis tricts therefore have 15 per cent of the population and about 36 per cent of the members of the legislature. Both candidates have been making a hard fight to control those districts. Last night both the Stubbs and Le land people finished, up their campaigns by automobile tours of Topeka. The Stubbs people had a -drum corps and negro quartette along, and the Leland crowd traveled with Jackson's band and a quartette. The Stubbs people covered the most ground, and held meetings in a dozen different places, from the extreme west ern edge of town, to North Topeka. Oakland and Kansas avenue. At every meeting a crowd of from 200 to 600 was present. The Leland crowd, -.which was made up entirely of local politicians, headed by Bert Lucas, visited Tenneseet o wn, South Topeka, and Kansas avenue. Stubbs accompanied the Stubbs cara van, and made a speech at each stop ping place, urging people to get out and vote at the primary today. ALLISON IS DEAD. Dubuque, la., Aug. 4.

As a refutation of the axiom that no human being can live without a brain, the physicians of Bellevuo hospital are citing the case of Marie Giacomo. who died at the in stitution last night, at the age of 40 hours. An autopsy revealed the fact that she had come into1 the world practically brainless. The child when seven hours old was taken to the hospital by her father, Leonardo Giacomo. He siid that he had brought the child for treatment because there was something wrong with its head. When the child was unwrapped from voluminous cloths it was a start ling sight. Its head was almost flat on top and its eyes stood out from their sockets. It was however.breath Ing normally and tried as an ordinary infant does. Unlike most infants less than a day old, it took nourishment greedily. It was thought at the hospital that the shape of the child's head was a malformation and that possibly the soft bones of the skull would respond to a slow moulding process that would restore the head to a normal shape. It was not dreamed that the infant was wholly without brains. Last night, however, the child died, while It was being fed. There was nothing to indicate approaching death and no struggle. Simply the Infant ceased to breathe. An autopsy re vealed that beyond a rudimentary cerebrum, that was scarcely more than an indication, the infant had ab solutely no brain. The doctors de clare that there is not another case of a human being living without a brain known to science. ATWOOD SEES BRYAN. They Talk Over the Speech "to lie Delivered in Topeka. Fairview, Lincoln, Aug. 4. A large portion of the afternoon was spent by Mr. Bryan in conference with J. H. Atwood, national committeeman from Kansas, over the political situation in general' and the forthcoming speech at Topeka the latter part of this month. Mr. Atwood reached Lincoln shortly after noon and proceeded immediately to Fairview. MERCURY REACHES HIGH MARK. It Registers Ninety-live Degrees This Afternoon.

Count Zeppelin Leares Fried richshafen in His Airship For a 24 Honrs Flight Over Southern Europe. HE KEPT A SECRET. Few Knew of His Intentions Until He Was Oft Only One Han Accompanies Him on the Trip. Mishap Caases Him to Land on an Island in the Rhine. Oppenhelm, Aug. 4. The Zeppelin airship owing to a defect of one of the motors landed on an island in the middle of the Rhine near here at 6 o'clock this evening-. Constance, Germany, Aug. 4. The weather was excellent this morning when at 6:30 Count Zeppelin's great airship emerged from the swimming dock at Friedrichshafen. The airship rose immediately from the waters of the lake to a height of about 400 feet and after describing one magnificent circle over the lake, proceeded in a bee line for this city, arriving here at 6:56 o'clock. The ship continued on its way and within another hour had covered 45 kilometers and was over Schaffhausen.- From tha point it con tinued along the Rhine to Basle. Count Zeppelin's plan is to continue to Mayence along the Rhine and from there return to Met, cross over, to Stuttgart and return, if the weather continues favorable to Friedrichshafen at about 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. The day and hour when the ascent was to be made were kept secret until late last night and not even the imper ial commissioners appointed to ac company Count- Zeppelin on the voy age were present. The only official taking part in the flight is Major Gradnitz. Although the day and the hour of the ascent of the airship had been kept strictly secret, long before day light today the streets of Friedrich shafen presented a lively scene for long exnerience with that rinlnt. nf the I men n-hn .a 11 th alp V, v. ...u U L 1 J natives that certain signs were evi dence of a forthcoming ascension. Consequently the -local Inhabitants and their summer boarders were out In great numbers when the suj ap peared. Did Not Want a Crowd.. Count Zeppelin arrived at the float ing dock at 4 o'clock, accompanied by his nephew, Dr. Eckner, a well known yachtsman of Hamburg, and Major Gradnitz, the only official representa tive. Neither the imperial commis sioners nor the count's usual official suite nor the military motorists who intended to follow the flight had been notified or invited. It was said the count wished to make his great flight quietly and without interference. Not the faintest cloud marred the beauty of the day. The surface of the lake was like a mirror and the distant .Alpine giants stood out strong and mighty in the clear atmos phere. At 15 minutes after 6. the colossal body of the airship emerged slowly from the floating shed, towed by three launches. Under the direc tion of Dr.. Eckncr, the pontoons were towed out from underneath it and the airship hovered low over the surface of the lake. Then slowly the nose of the ship was raised to a higher level. Above the noise of the propellers, which sounded like the beating of giant drums arose the voice of the count, giving the command to "cast off," and the airship rose horizontally to a height cf about 100 feet and then swept off in the distance to Con stance. She turned shortly, however, in a graceful circle and came back over the lake. So light and agile were her movements that the count seemed justified in starting his long Journey of 24 hours without any previous trial trip and he started in the direction of Schaffhausen. His departure was the signal for prolonged cheering by the spectators on land and afloat in various small craft who wished him a good voyage and a safe return. Conies to Full Stop. Headed in the direction of Constance, the airship sped along almost in a bee line over drowsy villages and sleeping towns. After Constance was left be hind few spectators were out to see the flight, the news of the ascent not hav ing had time to get further ahead. Sud denly, while still over the water the airship apparently came to a full stop for several minutes. This gave the cor respondent of the Associated Press who was following in a motor boat time to overtake the monster. After a snort rest the two front propellers, which looked like the fins of a great fish, be gan to revolve and at once the bow of the ship descended. Below it ap peared as though something had gone wrong. In a few seconds the rear pro pellers moved and the airship again resumed her horizontal position. Grace fully swinging first to the right then to the left, she took up her rapid course. It .was evident that the Count Zeppelin had been subjecting the aerial craft to some severe test and that the result had been to his satisfaction. The mass of 2.000 pounds of metal, wood work, machinery and cloth no longer seemed colossal and gigantic, ungainly and uncouth, but a creation so wonder ful that the spectators for the moment forgot that it was the handiwork of man. The people of Constance, who had arisen early, were aware of the ap proach of the airship. The shore and the piers were black with people, shouting a cheerful welcome and their wishes for a good voyage, j-jkb an ar row the airship shot over the city. At Constance the correspondent left his motor boat and in afl automobile tned around the city and finally caught up with the balloon far beyond the city limits in the Rhine yalley. The air ship had risen again" about 100 feet higher, and there were further maneuv ers. .The laborers in the fields rested nn their spades to gaze aloft -at the tnnn visitor. Drivers stopped their I teams in their eagerness not to lose anything of the strange apparition and the people on the road with all their attention riveted in the air were ob livious of passing automobiles and oth er road traffic. Goes Up 8,000 Feet. Over the Island of Relchenau. the airship ascended to a height of 3,000 xeet. out tnis was only lor a few min utes. It came down to its previous level to save gas, which escapes more easily in the thin air of the greater al titudes. Had it not been for these maneuvers it would have been Impos sible to have kept up with the airship in a 60 horse power automobile. The traveler in the air could easily have outdistanced a car of this power. Al lowing for the time lost In maneuver ing the airship was proceeding at the rate of about SO miles an hour. The news of the departure of the airship from Lake Constance and the direction it was taking, had, during these first hours, been telegraphed and telephoned over the country and as It progressed the spectators were more and more numerous. The greetings were en thusiastic. At Stein the Rhine valley widens considerably, forming the lake of ZeU. With this expanse in front of it. the airship rose first, came down again to an altitude of about 1.000 feet and con tinued at that height until it again re entered the Rhine valley, not far from the famous castle of Hohenwiel. This stronghold, imconquered for a thousand years until the coming of Na- fioleon today was a mute witness of he marvelous achievement of the Na poleon of the air. Over the old feudal castle, the airship swept silent and speedily, and its moats and turrets flashed their greetings to the intrepid sailors of the air above. Passes Over the Mountains. There was a faint wind from the northwest in the beginning which was apparently quite powerless to in fluence either the speed of the airship or its course. This wind later changed and blew from the southeast from which direction it was helpful to the navigators. At Stein it was seen that the airship was quickening its pace considerably, going at the rate of probably 37 milea an hour. In the for ward gondola are five men and in the after gondola three members of the crew. One of the men from the for ward gondola, soon after the airship passed Hohenweil was aeen to ascend a ladder and disappear in the great body of the ship. Something may be wrong with one of the 16 small balloons filling the in terior of the giant, but it is Impossible to ascertain. The ship quickly disap peared behind the mountains, putting an Impassable barrier between herself and a pursuing automobile; five min utes later it was possible to sight her again for an Instant, floating smooth ly along with a silent state Hn ess and majesty fully in keeping with the tranquillity of a most beautiful sum mer day. If the weather remains unchanged as it promises', the airship undoubted ly will reach Mayence long before her scheduled time and the count will have ample leeway for' his projected return to the Lake of Constance by way of Mets and Stuttgart. .At Scaffhausen every point ot van tage was taken. The. whole city turned out to give the airship welcome. The surrounding hills and the roofs of the houses were crowded with enthusiastic spectators. Hats, handkerchiefs and hands were waved in mad welcome, and the old fortress at Schaffhausen thundered a greeting from its guns. This was the signal prearranged to an nounce to the citizens the advent of the airship. The terrace like streets afforded a fine view of the progress of the ship. The local band had been playing as high up in the air as pos sible, on a rocky precipice, overlook ing the railway station and it played as long as the airship was in sight. As the long car sped over the rythmic city to the drumming of its motors, the people acclaimed it with a mighty shout. "He's coming!" "He is here!" they cried. Crosses the Rhine. They have witnessed an epoch making flight ana comment on the wonder of the performance Is heard from all sides. The people congratu late each other, strangers speaking with strangers and all are proclaiming the wonder they have seen. The airship swung over the falls of the Rhine, and from the abyss nature Itself sent up a tremendous, thunder ing welcome to the man who had con quered the air. Besides the roar of the mighty falls the shouted greetings of the people who were crowifng the roofs and streets, of Laufen were puny. Thousands of tourists crowded the windows and the grounds of the Schweizerhof, the great hotel which flanks the falls of the Rhine to witness the spectacular flight. The effect of this flight on some of the people that witnessed it was remarkable. Some laughed wildly and apparently with out control. Others raised their voices in effectual cries of encouragement; others wept and still others gazed mutelv at the apparition in the air. As the airship turned a bend in the river beyond, Lauffen, an old man feeble, white of beard and wrinkled of face was crawling painfully to the top of a hill. He reached the crest all out of breath just in time to see it disappear. "Ah, I have seen It," he exclaimed. He struggled to follow on in the direc tion the ship had disappeared. His steps were uncertain.. He tottered and the tears were streaming down his face. The airship continued its im posing progress along the Rhine, shouts of welcome resounded from one shore to the other, from hill top to valley, from village to town and found an echo from all parts of the German empire. ZeppeUn Drops a Card. Strassburg, Aug. 4. Count Zeppelin's airship was sighted from Strassburg at 1:14. It appeared to be going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. It circled the great church tower, moving slowly at an elevation a little above the tower. Crowds which filled the streets and squares shouted approval". The air ship then laid Its course, straight down the Rhine. A card fluttered down before the ship got away. Upon it was written: "Out of the heights above Strassburg. We are having, a splendid excursion. We are laying our course to Man helm. ZEPPELIN." He Passes Manhelm. Manheim. Aug. 4. The Zeppelin air ship passed over this city at 20 minutes before 3 this afternoon. The entire pop ulation came out into the streets and cheered vociferously. A card was drop ped down reading: "We are driving smoothly in the di rection of Words. "ZEPPELIN.". TESTIIIGNEIVLAV; Hissonri and Oklahoma Holding State Primaries.

Primary elections are being held by all politi cal parties in every voting preolaot In Missouri today, for the purpose of selecting party candidates for the gen- era I election in November. Candi-1 dates are being selected for every state, county and township office with the exception of school officers from governor down to constable. The primary is ths first to be held in the state under the new law. Ne candidates for United States senator will be chosen, but ths party candi- dates will be voted for on ths ballot at the general election. The Republicans have but one can didate for governor, Herbert S. H ad ley, the present attorney general of Missouri, whose fight on the Stand ard Oil company and other corpora tions for alleged violations of the anti trust laws of the state, has brought him into prominence. There are two candidates for the Republican nomination for attorney general, three for railroad and ware house commissioner and three for judge of the supreme oourt. There are contests for the nomina tion for state senator and representa tive in nearly every district, in some cases there being as many as half a dozen candidates. On the Democratic ticket there are many more candidates than on the Republican, there being four in the contest for the nomination for gover- nor. David A. Ball, for years prom inent in the Democratic party in this state is asking for the nomination of his party. William C. Cowherd, for congressman and also former chair man of the national Democratic con gressional committee is another can didate. A third Democratic candi. date is Judge William W. Wallace, who became prominent through his conduct of a Sunday law observance crusade in Kansas City, causing the arrest of hundreds of actors and others who were alleged to have violated the Sunday law. He is re- ceiving the support of the Prohibition element and as a large part of the state in local option elections has voted out ths saloon, hla. strength is unknown. Henry F. Staple, the fourth Demo cratic candidate making the race on a more liberal, platiopn and will re ceive a large shire of the vote of those Who oppose tbe views of Judge Wallace. On account of the large number of candidates and the newness of the system generally it is believed that the result will not be known until long at- ter the usual time for compiling re turns in other elections. Oklahoma Tries It. Guthrie, Okla.. Aug. 4. Oklahoma today for the first time Is chosing candidates for political offices by the primary system as authorised by the law passed by the first legislature of the new state. Nominees for the lower house of the legislature., one half of the state senate, all members of congress, two members of the stats supreme court, one member of ths state corporation commission, one r member of the United States senate and members of precinct, county and state committees will be chosen. The four Democratic members ef congress, the Democratic United States Senator Thomas P. Gore, and the two members of the supreme court have no opposition within their party for the nominations. In the First congressional district Repre sentative Bird 8. McGulre, incumbent and Bayard T. Hainer, both Republi cans are candidates. R. L. Williams, chief justice. Is without opposition. Associate Justice 8. W. Hayes. Demo crat, has against him J. T. Dickarson, Republican, and A. W. Bennett, Socialist. The Socialist party has candidates for all the higher offices, except United States senator. Ex-Delegate Dennis T. Flynn will be the nominee of the Republicans for the United States senate against Gore. The nomination will be of little value to the Republicans .however unless the state election board permits the names of the rival senatorial candi dates to be printed upon the general election ballot. This would give the voters, regardless of party, a chance to express their preference, the pri mary being merely a party choice. HE DID HOT FLY. Baldwin Could Not Get His Balloon Ready in Time. Washington. Aug. 4. Crowds that gathered at Fort Myer to witness the first preliminary flight of Captain Thomas S. Baldwin's military dirigi ble balloon yesterday ware disappoint ed. The balloon was taken to the pa rade grounds, but it did not fly. It was found that it would be dark be fore certain adjustments to the air ship could be completed, and as Cap tain Baldwin and the signal corps offi cers did not care for a premature flight, running the risk of an accident which might be construed as a failure,' the trial was postponed until today. The framework was attached to the balloon by means of the mesh netting and the various parts were balanced on the framework. The engine was tested and proved satisfactory. Secretary of Wir Wright, General -Bell, chief of staff, and General Allen, chief signal officer, were present tn anticipation of the event. Lieutenant B. Creecy of the marine corps has ar rived at Fort Myer, having been de tailed by Brigadier General Elliott to be present at the tests with a view to gathering information that will be of use in starting work in aeronauts for the marine corps.

The Mighty Pittsburg Slugger Has Passed Doniltv Head National League Crowd by a Good Margin. COBB TOPS AMERICAN. The Heary Hitter of Detroit Keeps Up His Willow Work. The 300 List In Both Organlza tion4 Is Very Scant. St. Louis, Aug. 4-- DonUn has been supplanted in the National League's race for batting honors by the rightful claimant to the honors, the peer of them all, Hans Wagner. Wagner took the lead away from Donlin on Mike's own back yard In the most Important series of the year for both teams and it was mainly to the big German's batting that the Pirates Increased their lead over McG raw's men. This was the series for both men to make their hits and the Giant cap tain fell down. Murray Is the -local leader and Ko netchy is second. Delehanty is the only other Cardinal that has a respec table mark. The .300 lists in both leagues are very scant, five men in the American holding the distinction and but two of these being regulars now in the game. The National has four regulars bat ting above the coveted circle, and six in all. Of the elder league's four lead ing batsmen each first division team has one representative. Criss and Schewitser are the Browns' leaders, but Stone, though slumping the past week slightly, is still entitled to the honors. He Is now at .294. Wal lace is second, while Hartzell is third. Hoffman continues at .262. At his pres ent rate of travel Ferris bids fair to surpass all and his batting during th-i past month has been as timely as anj ever accomplished in the league. Donovan i top of the regular pitch ers, whHe right behind and pressing him close- are Dinneen and Powell. Walsh. Young and Wlllett follow in the order named. Young's record is entitled to the utmost consideration, as he has a second division team to work with. Miner Brown is the leader in Pulliam's organization and Ed Reul bach is the runner up. McCarthy is ahead of both men, but has taken part in a great many less games. Wagner and Murray are one, two in baserunnlng in the National while Sxhufpr nd TJouehertv are holding relatively the same position in the A. L. ThrA Timers are holding the slug ging honors of the Johnson body. Wagner Is in a class by himself in the National. Tn extra-base hitting both local teams have representatives well to the fore, Williams being fifth and Murray fourth In their respective organiza tions. Outside of Murray both teams show, .poorly in baserunnlng, Hartzell. with thirteen stolen bases, being the Browns" -best purloiner. Cobb continues- to lead the American League, and he is now but six points below his mark of 1907, when he was the champion batsman of his organiz ation with an average of .350. He moved from .338 to -344 the past weea, and now leads the regulars by a good ly margin. Contrary to all expectations, Dode Criss refuses to slump, and stays around the .370 mark. Delehanty is the next man to show of the regulars, though the Washington inflelder has been out of the game for quite a pe riod. Thomas, the Detroit catcher, Is batting .333, and Al Schweitzer, th Browns' young outfielder, completes the .300 list. FTVE HITS IX A GAME. Three In the National and Four la the American Have Done This. Making five hits in a game is no easy matter, although many have tried It. There are now 118 players In the National league who have made two or more hits per game, but only three players have succeeded In cracking out five hits in a single game this sea son. Pittsburg has two of them and Cin cinnati the other, and it may be re marked that of the three two are Pittsburg boys, while the third is from Pennyslvania, making the old Key stone state the champion producer of five-hits-per-game men. The first player to perform this feat was Hans Lobert, the Beltzhoover lad with Cincinnati. On May 10, while the Reds were playing in St. Louis, Lobert, In the second game of the dou ble header, made five hits, all singles, off Lush, Hlggins and McGlynn. Jimmy Kane, the sub first baseman of the Pirates, was the second. He made five hits In Chicago against Fraser and Reulbach, also in the last game of a double header. Kane crack ed out four singles and a triple. The third and last was the "Flying Dutchman." at New York last Satur day, when the Pirates were playing New York. Mathewson and McGin nity were the victims of the great player's bat. He made three singles and a pair of doubles, the same total as Kane 7. "Ty" Cobb, the champion batter of the American league. Is one of the four players In that league who has cracked out five hits in a game this season. His five hits netted him a total of eight bases, he having two doubles and a triple. The hits were made off Vickers. Schlltzer and Max well, on July 7, at Philadelphia. Schaefer, of the Tigers, also holds the title of five hits per game made at Cleveland. April 17. when he made four singles and a double. Hartzell, the St. Louis Browns' clever all-around player, on May 30, In the morning game against Thlel man and Joss, was credited with five singles. Cleveland Leader. Dates for Chicago Anto Run. Chicago, Aug 4. Definite dates for the 1,000 mile reliability run of the Chicago Motor club have been set by the contest committee of that organi zation, which has chosen Oct. 7, 8. and This is a month later than had been anticipated, but the contest com mittee figured that If It put on the event in September it was Hkely to run afoul of the equinoctial storms. No Naps la SOO Class. Cleveland. Aug. 4. This week the batting averages of the American league fail to show a Cleveland 'player in the .300 class.

TO TRADE HAL CHASE. New Tork May Swap for Jiggs Dono- hue and Goo. Davis. Chicago. Aug. 4. According to the latest baseball gossip a ball deal is on tapis which will probably be close when New York plays in Chicago the latter part of this week. It is said on prettv good authorltv that "Jiggs" Donohue. one of 4he clev erest first basemen that ever wore a uniform in the American league,'-will be traded, along with George DaVls;' to the Highlanders for. Hal Chase. Chase is known to be -dissatisfied with his berth with New York, for ev ery winter Owner Farrell has to use his best to get him to- sign. Chase and Donohue are a par as first flack ers, but- Chase is the better hitter of the two. But New York would have the benefit of the brains of George Da vis as captain. When the announcement was made that. Clarke Griffith had resigned the management of the New Yorks, it Was stated In this paper. that .George Da vis would probably be .offered tbe po sition. This is probably the r first, move in that direction. .Fielder Jones said at the time that he would never block Davis from going to New York,, for he believed that the former star shortstop deserved the berth-? -i Chance After Two Pitchers.

This Is reprinted for the benefit of Mr. Boles who will- probably be greatly surprised to near-it. "Earl Fleharty has been sick 'for some time at his home in Gridley. Kan.

The Louisville team is now at the top- of the American association. Jack Halla contributed considerably to this event by taking two games in the same series from Milwaukee last week. Jack Is pitching the game of his life and Is being boosted by some of the American association papers for the big -leagues. Young Cobb is batting .342 for the Joplin team. He ts said to have "been sold to Cincinnati. But he better wait a-year or two as he Isn't ready for the big leagues yet. Here are a few effusions concern ing the Topeka team, from the Hutch inson Gazette: In taking a summary, of the entire Topeka squad, no credit can go to any single man on the squad for the winning of the game. Since their last appearance on the Hutchinson field they have improved 50 per cent .In general all-around "work. Oklahoma City had a team the fore part of the season that was al most .a unit In .its clock-like median-1 ism. but the -manner" in which the Cooley tribe runs bases and fields to gether, places them far ahead of any other team in tne circuit. There is not a single note of dissension in the squad and the rythmic swing of the two Olsons on short and second is phenomenal. Topeka has- got the classiest bunch Jn the league, -and- the "Gazette acknowledges that they are the best tribe of pennant possibilities In the race Spencer Arthur Ab bott is a good hitter and more than held, up -the record he has maintained since his Joining the- association this year.

He allowed six hits, walked one man and struck out eight. .Not so bad for one that has been dubbed as a fit subject for the chloroform sponge In the baseball world. He Is far from having lived his usefulness. APronitient Daober it? V Fort Smith States That Ilnco-Solvent Saved Dis Life. In an interview. with one of the beak known bankers ln! Fort Smith.; h" stated that on a trip North' the won derful properties of" Muco-Solvent were." brought to his notice, and ha commenced to take It, having at first little hope of deriving any good there from. His lungs had been In a con gested condition for; years, and all that he had previously done seemed to give him no relief. The results, how ever, obtained from the use of Mu co Solvent were so rapid and so sure that he not only brought away a few pack ages of Muco-Solvent, but has never been without It since.' A government" bacteriologist finds in his tests that Muco-Solvent kills the diphtheria and typhoid germs. It is said to be an absolute preventive and cure for grippe, scarlet fever, croup, quinsy, sore throat, etc., and that It' cases of ordinary colds a spraying of the nose and mouth gives Instan- taneous relief, besides prevents to- a -certainty the serious development of the horde of maladies usually preced ed by. the sensation of having the nos-. trlls stuffed, inability to, breathe frev': etc. A well known physician, a man of profound knowledge, and withal' broadmlnded. Btated to us that Muco-' Soiventwhatever It was gave him" the only immediate relief he had even experienced when used on himself for' a severe cold, accompanied by a stop-' ping up and congestion of the nasaf' passages. Muco-Solvent is the only, known infallible cure for catarrh. The proprietors of the drug say that they will give $1,00'0 to any person who,, using Muco-Solvent according to dl- rectlons. Is not; absolutely cured -r' catarrh In from thirty 'to ninety days.' One thing is absolutely sure. that If Muco-Solvent Is generally used at the first slight Indication of cold, fev er, etc.. that the majority of Illness of which colds are the precursor will be avoided. During the conference of the.' Evangelical Association, of Wisconsin, the statement was made", and sub- scribed to by. fifty-one of the leading-' clergymen attending: VZion'a Church, Ju.il waukee, April 14.: "When. our. conference was gather-', ed at Neenah, Wis., we found that community enthusiastlcal over the wonderful success that Muco-Solvent was obtaining among them in the cure of., diphtheria, grippe, croup and throat troubles generally. "At that period, accordingly, .many of -our. members, procured a supply with the result that we have since de-, cided never to be without it; and.

Railroad Outlook Is Brighter Than Formerly. Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. By Christina of this year the Santa Fe will have in operation between Chi cago and Kansas City 370 miles of dou ble track, all of which will be perfect ly equipped and in the best of condi tion. T This statement was made by J. Hurley, general manager of the Santa Fe. this morning. Mr. Hurley has Just returned from a trip over the line be tween Kansas City and Chicago. In addition Mr. Hurley added that the work had already commenced on the completion of the double track, and that a large portion of the 370 anllea of double track will be In operation be fore Christmas. When this work is completed the Santa Fe will have a complete -double track line between the Mississippi River and Chicago, with the exception of one small stretch of 54 miles. The remaining portion of the line which will not be double tracked this year is a stretch of 69 miles in Missouri. This portion of the line has been graded and is all ready for the laying of the rails. However, the character of the soil in Missouri is of such .a charac ter as to require about a year to settle the- grade- and on this account the completion of this portion of the track will be delayed a year. All the line be tween Kansas City and Chicago, in cluding these two stretches, will be completed during the summer of 1909. As the Santa Fe is the most direct line between these-two points, the addition of a double track ought to prove a great boon for the road. The completion of the double track will give the Santa Fe a direct line from Chicago to Newton, via the Kan sas City-Emporia cutoff, a distance of 650 miles. The entire mileage of dou ble track will be laid with first class material, and the balast will be of the highest quality of crushed stone. The line from end to end will be equip ped with a modern interlocking sys tem. The Santa Fe road had already spent S4.0O0.000 on the Chicago-Kansas City double track, when the recent financial p&ptc made it impossible for the work to continue. One million dollars was needed to complete the work, and this amount has now been secured. Several short stretches of the track were at that time completed. and in other places the grades had been completed as well as many bridges so that all that remains to be done towards com pleting the 370 miles is the laying of the track and ballasting. The business outlook from the standpoint of the railroads at the pres ent, time seems to.be a little brighter. The movement of the wheat crop has added to the volume of traffic. Most A Cooling Drink One of the most delicious, wholesome, and of late years, highly popular summer beverages is ICED EOS boil according to directions on the package. Cool it with cracked ice, add sugar, cream, a "suspicion" of lemon and a "whisper" of nutmeg, perhaps or simply sugar and lemon juice if you prefer it clear. There's No Prohibition movement against Postum in any State, because it is made from clean, hard wheat skillfully roasted, contains no coffee, alcohol. or other injurious substance. It is Good for All Classes Old and Young When boiled properly, all the nutritious elements in the wheat are brought put, including the phosphate of potash, grown in the grain for rebuilding brain and nerve cells. 1 "There's a Reason" for POSTUM of this business however thus far Is but local, very little having been ship-: ped to foreign points. Most of the wheat Is being shipped to Kansas City at the present time. As soon as confi dence Is restored In the east' and the factories which are now shut down re sume work. It is certain that the vol ume of railroad business will again at tain normal proportions. The shops which are now running on full time, It Is understood, will con tinue running full time unless business takes a further slump, which Is not expected at this time. The Santa Fe now has plenty of equipment for hand ling a big crop and the policy of the road seems to be to keep ahead of the business so that no car shortage will again present itself. And to gain this end the shops will run without further interruption. BCILDIXG IX OKLAHOMA. St. Louis, Bartlesville Pacific Is Financed in New York. Outhrie.' Ok., Aug. 4. The announce ment Is made officially that construc tion of the St. Louis, Bartlesville Pa cific railroad is a certainty, the pro moters having been able during the past week to have the financial con tract signed in New York city. With the announcement comes the statement that the construction will commence September IS. the road between Joplln, Mo., and Bartlesville, Ok., to be com pleted first. The promoters of the road tried for some time to- finance the con struction In France, and have succeed ed In New York. It is proposed that the road run from Joplln through Bar tlesville, Pawhuska. Ponca City and Pond Creek. In Oklahoma, to a connec tion with the main line of the Orient, possibly at Cherokee, In western Okla homa. In addition to the. Joplln lead and zinc district, the road would pene trate the Centralia and Blue Jacket coal fields in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma oil and gas fields, the grazing pastures of the Osage country and the northern Oklahoma wheat belt. President John B. Chris ten sen of the St. Louis Oklahoma Southern rail way, with E. A. Peters, vice president of the Vandeventer Trust company of St. Louis, and Alfred T. Hay of the Illinois Steel company went over the grade of the new road during the past week, between Joplin, Mo., and Tahle quah. Ok., to obtain ideas of what ma terial will be needed. They also visited Muskogee, to which point the road is expected to build from Tahlequah. While in the latter city President Chrlstensen said If the road builds to Muskogee it will shorten the distance between that city and St. Louis by more than 100 miles. The entire sur vey covers something over 300 miles, in cluding the proposed extension south ward from Muskogee to McAlester, and thence Into Texas. The citizens of Mus kogee have signed the, contract by which the road comes there. It is maintained the road will shorten the distance between Kansas City and Texas points by 274 miles.

The success of the car and the men who made the tour of the world in the winning car has been great In Paris. Friday morning the Matin newspaper announced the American car would reach its office at noon. By 11 o'clock the Boulevard Poissonniere was filled with a crowd waiting to see the winning car, and it was necessary to send for extra police men to keep the throng back so that traffic would not be suspended. Each omnibus which passed had to be es corted through the crowd by a police man. At 1:30 o clock, when the car ar rived, the enthusiasm of the crowd broke out In shouts and hand clapping. It spite of the police the crowd surged around the auto. Each wanted a bit of the. American flag which had trailed behind the car all the way around the world, but this was rescued and car ried Into the newspaper office by Capt. Hanson. In the Matin office Miller stepped out on the balcony and the crowd applauded him and wanted a speech. In all the smart cafes the winning American car has been the topic of conversation. One enterprising Ameri can shoe shop in the Boulevard des Italiens secured a pair of boots which had been worn around the world by one of the tourists, and these travel stained objects were placed In the win dow and labeled "Shoes worn in New York to Paris race," attracting all passers. Capt. Schuster said It had been a wonderful experience, but he would not care to repeat It. "It was not an easy Journey." he said, "In spite of the fact that the car is In good condition. We made nearly a mile a minute coming into Paris, but the engine is Just as good as when we started. The car Is In the garage of Foumier in the Rue d'AnJou, where people flock to see it. It still contains the gasoline tank and other relics of the world's Journey. The entire body of the car is covered with autographs by persons In all countries through which it passed. BIG GROPOF CORN. Best Prospects Graham County Farmers Hare Erer Had. Threshing Machines Ire Busy With the Wheat. BANK DEPOSITS GROW Ex-Lieutenant Goternor Hanna Not to Lea-re Hill City, Has Sold His Fine Residence But Will Rebuild. Hill City, Kan.. Aug. 4. With the best prospects for corn the farmers of Graham county have ever seen at this time In the season, a fairly good crop of wheat harvested and many threshing machines already at work, an Immense yield of alfalfa in sight,' and a few poli tics In towns thrown In for good meas ure.' Hill City. Morland and Rogue, the principal towns in Graham county, are enjoying some growth and a good wave of business prosperity. And her banks are smiling, for they know, the deposits win increase soon as the grain com mences to move. Here in Hill City, the county seat. and business and political center, on a Saturday, Is all life and prosperity, her flouring mill running to" its fullest capacity, an almost Innumerable num ber of political office chasers button' holing this and that man-as he comes In from the country to buy the neces saries of life, every, store crowded with customers, and the three .banks cashing grain and stock checks and receiving deposits, and then,. day later. Sunday, and the several churches.-patronized. and not a business house of any kind open where a smokercan buy a cigar, was a great contrast to the several vis itors who spent the Sabbath in Hill City. A farmer drove several miles to town Sunday to buy some tobacco, and he found the lid on so tight that he returned home without it. The Sunday closing ordinance in Hill City was on as tight aa. the bark to a tree. Newspaper- business has been so good in Hill City that the owner and proprietor of the Republican is erect ing a permanent home. The new mod ern house of W. H. Hill will cost about $5,000. It will be heated with steam. It will be a duplicate of one of Topeka s nicest homes, and a contractor and builder in that city will do the work. There are many Inviting homes In Hill City. and. Mr. Hill will leave nothing undone to make this one as attractive as any In the place. The Hill City high school quartette. of four young ladles, each one a Gra ham county product and proud of her native state, are going to take an out ing, and will visit Delphos. Ottawa county, during the Spiritualist camp- meeting which meets there for a two weeks session commencing August 7. The names of the qaarteete are: Bar bara Harwi. Maude McManlmie, Lottie Dezell and Celia Pipes. The political scrap In Graham coun ty will center on school superintendent. The two nominees rare liable to be wo- meAV a Republican and Democrat. For many' years they" haeve- tanght schools In-the county," and, both hold flrst-class certificates.' The warpaint Is already on, and the flghtwlir be to a nnish. Whichever way the tide goes, Graham county will have a' splendid superin tendent of schools. Several Topekans have accepted the Invitation of ex-Lieutenant Governor Hanna to visit Hill City soon as the prairie chickens are ripe enough to eat The prospects for a bounteous crop of chickens In Graham county are flatter ing. It has been reported that Gover nor Hanna is going to leave Hill City, having sold his fine modem residence. "These talkative people think they know more about my affairs than I do; I don't know where to go to better myself," said Mr. Hanna. He has lived in Hill City, and Graham county for a quarter of a century and naturally thinks It is a good healthy section. A GAIN OF 80 PER CENT.

WTRELESS STATION AT WICHITA Instruments Installed Now to Train the Operators. Wichita. Kan., Aug. 4. Wichita will soon have a wireless telegraph station In full operation. The apparatus is being Installed by W. B. Alvey of the wicnita Telegraph college. The In struments will be used by Mr. Alvey In training operators to use the wireless system, as he has an arrangement with the government whereby it will employ all the wireless operators his school turns out. At present the instruments that have been Installed can be used only within the building, as no tower con nections have been made to enable communications to be transmitted over long distances. Mr. Alvey will try to make arrangements with the city to run a wire up the flag pole on the city hall. This would place the receiving 150 feet above the ground and would enable Wichita to commu nicate with Dallas. Texas. If arrangements can not be made with the city authorities a pole will be erected on the Walters building. This would not place the wire so far above the ground, but it would be high enough to enable the. station here to communicate with Wellington and other towns in this vicinity without difficulty.

BROWXELL CELEBRATES. A Thousand People Gather in Ness County for a Day's Pleasure. Brownell. Kan., Aug. 4. Brownell held one of the largest celebrations in the history of Ness county, Monday, and a safe estimate is that there was a thousand people present gathered from many points along the Missouri Pacific road as far east as LaCrosse and west as (ar as Utica. Every candidate in Ness county was present to shake hands with the people. Major Anderson of LaCrosse was the orator of the day and made a fine address. This was also of special interest to the people of Brow nell in the opening of the Brownell State bank, an institution organized by local capital and whose officials and directors are made up of home men. E. S. Chenowets is the president and Carl Newcomer, cashier. A Ransan Dies In Denver. Anthony. Kan... Aug. 4.

Advance payment is rerneted on these short time subscriptions, to save hookkeeplnir expense. Mr. Taft likes to be called "Bill." This ought to help him gome. Notwithstanding the fact that Jap an's finances are In a deplorable con dition, Mr. Hobson continues to shout Ms slogan of an Imminent war be tween the mikado and Uncle Sam. It's not going one whit beyond the truth to say that there will be a lot of disappointed men In Kansas when the votes cast at today's primaries have been reckoned. When the votes cast at the pri maries today are counted a whole lot of predictions as to the success of many candidates will be knocked sky high. This Is a safe prophecy because all of the candidates are certain that they will win. The Kaw valley potato crop will be short this year because of the havoc wrought by the floods, but the price of spuds will be exceedingly long. This Is good news for the grower and cor respondingly bad news for the con sumer. But as to the consumer, poor chap, there never Is much news which sounds good to him. New Jersey, which is ever a leader In unique reforms, has something new in this line. Sprlngless baby carriages and go-carts have been placed under the ban by the board of health of Harrison, N. J., on the ground that the bumps and Jars of the springless carts cause spinal trouble. There's probably some sense to this reform. Seventy Chicago policemen have made a record in recovering $65,073 worth of property which was stolen during the month of July. This is excellent, but the energies of the force and those ot other cities as well, might be better devoted to preventing burglaries, rather than to the recovery of stolen goods. A willing army of workers ought to promptly Join Dr. Crumbine, the sec retary of the state board of health, in his "swat the fly" crusade. Everyone Is the victim of the fly to a greater or less extent and all should Join In an effort to exterminate the rascal. It's too much to hope for a flyless com munity but a little effort will keep tne most of them out of houses and make living much more comfortable. Stomach trouble, colds In the head and feet, and a variety of other ail ments for which beer and whisky ap pear to be the panacea in Topeka seem to be greatly on the Increase from the returns of liquor sales made by the druggists during the month of July, It's hardly possible that thirst Induced by warm weather Is respon sible for the Increase for the druggists are prohibited from selling liquor for beverages. There's one sort of prohibition which does not seem to work very well In Russia. The csar, who Is the chief liquor trafficker In the country, decreed that not more than three drinks of vodka, the chief kind of Russian booze, could be sold to or drunk by any one person in a day In a, certain Siberian town. The result has been that the natives have been drinking eau de cologne, bay rum, etc., with the effect that the degree of drunkenness achieved there breaks all records. In a day or two the first state wide primary in Kansas will be a matter of history and then there will be a much needed lull In political affairs in these parts for a few weeks and until the national and state campaigns open up with full force. This will be about the middle of September. And this lull will be a good thing for all concerned for the rather extraordinary heat of the weather has been greatly Intensi fied by the sizzles of the broiling pri mary campaign which has been waged in this state. e Perhaps the new state tax law has tome defects but under it the tax rate for state purposes will be .6 of a mill. And Inasmuch as there is any Quan tity of property on the tax rolls this rar which has never been there Be fore and the property of every man and corporation haa been placed at something- near Its actual value, the state taxes that the people will have to pay will be generally lower than ever before. So whatever the defects in the new law may be, lt main pur pose la the reduction and equitable distribution of the taxes has been ac complished. And thst's considerable. OASTRO AND V EX EZ CEXiA. It looks very much as If President Castro of Venezuela la putting himself In position to get "a good spanking, something he has long deserved, and get It from Holland, one of the small est of European nations. The Dutch are a slow and phlegmatic people, but it is not safe for such a ruler as Cas tro to go too far with them. And yet, what can Holland do? She can send war vessels over to Venezuela and seal up that country's ports, but Castro Is at Caracas, where the ships can't reach him, and where he may not eas ily be reached by a foreign army, even if the attempt should be made. It is true that the closing of the sea ports might diminish the revenue of his country, but he will And some way to live, even then. The people of that country as The Philadelphia Record points out, are accustomed to cheap dollars, and Castro has a printing press and can turn out as much cheap mon ey as there may be need of. Even if government officials and clerks fail to see payday come around it would not altogether be a novelty with them. And speaking of Castro and his country is remindful of the fact that he has lately Issued his ukase, or pro nunciamento, or whatever they call it down there, forbidding the Importa tion Into Venezuela of cigarettes and material for their manufacture, and also ammunitions of all kinds, without a special permit from the government meaning- himself, it is reasonable to presume. Just what is the connection between cigarettes and munitions of war is not clear. It's easy to under stand why he should bar out firearms and ammunition, for there's generally some kind of a revolution going on over there and he wants to keep the insurgents from getting anything to fight with. Perhaps he wants to bar out cigarette for the same reason, arguing that If revolutionists can't get something like cigarettes to smoke, they'll quit revolving, or revoluting or whatever It is they are engaged in. The United States is also making faces at Castro and it has withdrawn Its representative from Venezuela. Plainly diplomatic relations are what they call strained between the two Re publics and the big stick may be put into action If things do not Improve. However, If Holland Is about to under take the spanking Job, the United States can sit by and see it well done, occasionally giving the Dutch a little help on the side. somethlvg op a swap. A short time since It was announced that the New York public service com mission would soon hold a series of tests for the purpose of demonstrating the value, or lack of it, of certain fenders and wheel guards manufactur ed in this and other countries, with intent to learn whether it Is possible to equip surface street cars with any really life-saving device of this sort. As a matter of advertising, and to rouse interest In the occasion, at least one manufacturer of these devices now announces that, instead of using dum mies for the tests, as others are to do, he will use real, live human beings. Get them? Why it's the easiest thing in the world. A "salary" of $2 a day, he avers, will bring all the men he needs for this purpose. The concep tion that there is any risk in it is a popular mistake. Does he not know that his fenders are absolutely life saving? Of course. There need be no surprise that he can find all the men he wants for this purpose. There are men around New York and elsewhere to whom the prospect ot getting $2 a day for lying on the track to be picked up by a car fender seems like taking candy away from children. It is a veritable snap. As for any possible danger, that is slight compared with the excitement of riding on the bumpers of limited freights on which these gentlemen cus tomarily travel for most of them, be it known, are experienced railroad men in one way or another. Assuredly, at this open season of the year, these persons with unlimited leisure welcome so princely an offer. As to the value of a test so made, that Is another question. There Is some reason to doubt whether the common or garden variety of citizens will sur vive the same treatment from a car fender which would fall to feaze in the least these hardy hybrids. AX AWFUIi LIST. There seems to be no way of per manently shortening each successive season's sadly long list of drownings. All the warnings that can be uttered fall on some heedless ears. All of the statistics of former summer seasons seem to be read over without Interest and without awakening the slightest appreciation of their awful meaning. No young man or young woman seems to think that he or she can possibly be a victim. It is always some one else. The number of drowning accidents thus far this year has not been com piled, but current reading of these cases from day to day gives the Im pression that more have occurred since the opening of the present season than during any corresponding period for many years past. And for the most part the victims are promising boys and girls, young men and young women Just entering upon the hap piest time of life. The exceedingly hot weather, con tinuing as it has week after week with but little interruption, has doubt less been responsible fpr fatal acci dents to reckless bathers ana swim mers in lakes, rivers and ponds and in the far away oceans. But In addition to these there have been an unusual number of fatalities by the overturn ing of boats, the Inexperienced han dling of small craft, in dangerous waters, and the explosions aboard gasoline launches which bare left a wake of dead. It has been said over and over again that too much care can not be exercised In the enjoyment of summer pastimes by and on the water, but It, may be possible that these repeated warnings and the call ing of attention to the remarkably long list of drowning accidents will save some from death. If the rest of the season could pass without more ot these accidents there would be cause for great rejoicing. JOURNAL ENTRIES When a girl gets on the third lap she's nearing the finish. Among the inherited traits of chil dren is their aptitude for growing. A woman Is sure to live quietly af ter her husband's death If he used to snore. When a couple have their pictures taken to represent "beauty and the beast" there's certain to be an argu ment as to which Is which. A girl is not so much interested in the question as to whether she is the only girl her beau has ever loved as she is In the one as to whether or not the is the only girl he will ever love. JAYHAWKER JOTS Some Industrious Individual has discovered that Kansas is the twelfth state In the- union In the production of potatoes. The police judge at Emporia render ed a decision that hie horse did not like, and the animal kicked. Now the Judge is nursing his ribs and prepar ing a demurrer. People who were taken In by old Ezra Meeker and his team of fat oxen traveling from ocean to ocean, will read with pleasure that report that the three of them have reached the Pacific coast. Come to think of It, those oxen were a little swift. The way they chewed their cuds showed It. Lawrence Gazette. One of the Yates Center baseball players was struck on the temple with a ball while playing in a game with the Oarnett team, and was paralyzed from the hips down. Yates Center fans are not feeling as badly about It as they might, for their team won the game, which went eleven In nings, says the Emporia Gazette. A Kansas woman has broken Into the newspapers with a story to the ef fect that Kate Bender died In a Den ver hospital seventeen years ago. Since Kate has been hanged, drowned, and Bhot, to say nothing of dying quietly in her bed, there is no reason to fear that ahe will be one of the attractions of next year's Chautauqua programs. The truth about Kate is that she went to La Porte, disguised as a man, to marry Mrs. Gunness, and the widow got her, savs the Emporia Gazette. W. J. Rowe, of Hope, who is a can didate for the Republican nomination for district clerk In Dickinson county, claims to have the best neighbors of anybody. He has been very busy cam paigning and having no one at home to do the farm work, was planning to stay at home for several days and fin ish cutting alfalfa. But last Satur day morning several of the neighbors came with teams and by a hard day's work put all his crop In sack and told him to keep en with his cam paign. Sabetha Is one Kansas town that needs no commercial club to make it a "good place to live In." Not only is It one of the cleanest and prettiest towns In the state, but It probably Is the only place of 3.000 Inhabitants that is without a lawyer, says the Kansas City Star. There is no ferret-eyed technicality expert on the townsite. At one time there were two attorneys in Sabetha, but there was so little for them to do that one moved to Seneca and the other was made postmaster and took down his single. Sabetha is so orderly and honest that the law yer's occupation Is gone. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. It doesn't make any difference how much a man charges: he always says his terms are reasonable. After a man has been dead about three months, his wife begins to do something she haa always longed to do. Summer season note: The bites on "our" children are made by chlggers; those on "your" children are due to bedbugs. This Is the kind of weather which makes a man grateful he is not an old-fashioned woman's baby, compel led to wear a wool shirt. When a woman cooks up something particularly nice for her husband, all she gets for It Is that he Is late and it is spoiled by overcooking. "It sometimes seems to me," said a man the other day, "that I get mighty little to eat." Then, after thinking awhile, he added: "But probably I am better off." As soon as a man becomes idle, he forgets that other people have duties, and a limited time in which to per form them. A man who has plenty of sense when he Is busy. Is too apt to become selfish and Inconsiderate when he is idle. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. It's as hard for women to keep mon ey as secrets. Coolness between friends doesn't count on hot days. Nothing melts a dignified girl like an unexpected kiss. v A boy's appearance of meekness may cover a lot of mischief. Most people in love act as if it were a delightful torture. It's queer that a "good fellow" of ten has so many bad habits. Run for office if you would know how many friends you haven't got. Half a loaf is sometimes better than exhausted vitality due to overwork. Many a man who knows that he knows things does not know how to prove It. Life Isn't much of a burden to the woman who looks younger than she is. Our idea of an eccentric man is one who attends strictly to his own busi ness. A girl will forgive a young man for kissing her, but she'll never forgive him if he doesn't. A small boy likes to hear himself whistle almost as well as a big man likes to hear himself talk. No matter how homely a girl may be, he doesn't think people Justified in describing her la plain language. KANSAS COMMENT THE SIMPLE LIFE. 11 want to ay this to the boys who win read my story; I have, never smoked, chewed, drank or played Cawf.K money hi my life." with the eagles of victory perching upon his banners, Battling Nelson, the pugilist who recently defeated the "in vincible" Joe Gans, thus delivered Jirf6 f ,ln the course of an address to California newspaper men. He added, not as an Incentive to a higher life, but as a matter of news, that he is worth a quarter of a million dollars. 11 can be said to his eternal credit that he recommended no rules of diet ing, thus putting to shame Chauncey Depew and other guides, philosophers and friends of the rising generation who are always Insisting that a man can't be a reputable member of so society unless he lives on succcotash and boiled squash. Nelson is a physical marvel. As a fighter he lacks many of the qualifica tions of the majority of bruisers who have swept to crimson glory. He Is slow and awkward and has but little more science than a hired man; in the early stages of a fight he invariably resembles a chopping block, the other man hitting him wherever it is most convenient, but his physique is so re markable that the blows don't seem to injure him, and he fights away, tire less and indomitable, until the antag onist ia worn out, and then the "Dur able Dane" finishes him at leisure. Every boy who has blood In his veins would like to possess such strength and endurance, and such at tributes are desirable even where there is no ambition to become orna ments of the prize ring. Therefore the admonitory words of the Battling Dane should be pasted in the hat of every American boy. "I have never smoked, chewed, drank, or played cards for money," says the Indestructible Dane. Em poria Gazette. ARMY LACKS SURGEONS. There are now more than forty va cancies in the Junior grade of the army medical corps, and these will be in creased next January by the operation of the law reorganizing the army med ical department by about thirty-five. It is necessary to fill these vacancies In order to carry out the plans of the army medical efficers for corps reor ganization. An examination will be held in about a month at various mil itary posts throughout the country, with the expectation that more than one hundred candidates who are grad uates of the medical colleges and who have had the required subsequent practice will present themselves. Those who are found qualified after physical and professional examination will be ordered to Washington and Join the ten approved candidates who have passed the examination held in May. All of these candidates will make up a class for a six months' course of in struction at the army medical school, after which they will be examined and commissioned as first lieutenants and assistant surgeons in the regular estab lishment under the new arrangement and Increased pay which have proved so attractive to candidates. For sev eral years the army medical depart ment has suffered through the lack of interest manifested by the medical school graduates who prefer to take their chances in private practice in preference to entering the military establishment on the pay provided and with the exactions of duty Imposed. The Improved conditions are expected to result in more, favorable interests in the corps, where the chances of pro motion have been visibly increased. Leavenworth Times. FROM OTHER PENS TRUTH AND FACT. There is a difference between truth and fact. It Is thus defined truth Is a general law whereof facts are spe cific phenomena. Truth is gathered from the facts. No fact alone consti tutes truth. It is the relation that one fact bears to another that reveals the truth. So one must be careful in mak ing his conclusions that one fact should not control him. If it does it is apt to make him very violent, angry and vituperative. Generally the most pestiferous people are those who make up their opinion from one fact. They are always intolerant and suspicious. But the man who fj-ets hold of one fact and then looks about for another of the same class, and puts them to gether, and thinks up the relation be tween them, begins to get a glimpse of the truth, and to feel a little lower temperature in his blood, and to speak with a softer accent of the voice. The proper use of news, or fact, or In formation is to afford the reader an opportunity to extract the truth from them and generalizing from them. Here is the greatest difference between men. One will use a fact to get a truth from it; while the other will use the fact as if it was truth itseir. So, the way of wisdom and sanity Is to take a fact that comes within one's range of v.jion and quietly con sider It. What does it mean? What lesson does it teach? The only way to find that out is to call up the assist ance of some other fact, In memory or experience, and let each help the other to a conclusion. That is the method of truth. We get it no other way. If our religion, our politics, our trade, our social life could practice this method, it would bring the fruit of peace, comfort and hope. The conclu sions drawn from this one fact meth od, so universally practiced by the Ignorant, is what fills the arena of discussion with so much rancor, con fusion and error, whose exponent is the loud and threatening talker. Ohio State Journal. LEMON PIE IN THE NAVY. While recruiting bureaus are doing their best to get young men to enlist for the navy, with colored posters designed to show the delights of a Jackie's life and the educational ad vantages of foreign travel, a McKees port youth gives us the key to the whole situation. This young man de serted from the training ship Constel lation and was arrested in Chicago. When asked why he had deserted he declared it was because he couldn't get any lemon custard pie on board ship. Thus Stephen Povalln furnishes a valuable pointer to our naval boards of strategy. If the enlistment is to be kept up to the regulation number, and if the service is to be maintained at the standard of maximum efficiency, imme diate orders should be Issued to the pastry cooks on our battleships and cruisers. In the vernacular of the vulgum mobile, they should be handed a lamon and Instructed to convert it into pie. We cannot afford to have our marines disaffected or our naval forces disorganized because 01 a petty spirit-of parsimony In the culinary de partment. Make life worth living on our warships, furnish the men behind the -guns with substantial Incentives, let them feel that they are not handi capped in a gastronomic way.

Indictment of Animals. Montclair's new ordinance against barking dogs has some resemblance to a singular feature ot the Jurisprud ence of the middle ages, when animals were indicted for injuries inflicted on human beings. The custom was not abolished in France until the middle of the eightenth century, and the French court records show that at least 92 such trials took place be tween 1120 and 1J41. An early instance of the custom was in 1314, when a bull escaped from a farmyard In a village of Molsy in the Duchy of Valois and gored a man to death. The Count of Valois, being Informed of the case, directed that the bull be captured and formally prose cuted for homicide. This was done, and evidence was given by persons who had seen the man attacked and killed. The bull was thereupon sen tenced to suffer death, which was in flicted by strangulation, after which the carcass was suspended from a tree by the hind legs. In 1386 a sow was executed In the square of Falaise for having caused the death of a child, and three years later a horse was condemned to death at Dijon for having killed a man. In 1457 a sow and her six young ones were tried at Lavengy, on the charge of having killed and partially eaten a child. The sow was convicted and condemned to death, but the little ones were acquitted on the ground of their extreme youth and inexperience, the bad example of their mother, and the absence of direct evidence of their having partaken of the atrocious feast. One of the most grotesque of these trials took place in Basle, when a farmyard cock was tried on the ab surd charge of having laid an egg. It was contended in support of the prosecution that eggs laid by cocks were of Inestimable worth for use in certain magical preparations; that a sorcerer would rather possess a cock's egg than the elixir of life, and that Satan employed witches to hatch such eggs, from which proceeded winged serpents most dangerous to mankind. The prisoner's advocate admitted the facts of the case, but contended that no evil intention had been proved, and that no evil result had taken place. Beseldes, the laying- of a negg was an involuntary act. and as such was not punishable by law. Also there was no record of the devil having made a compact with an ani mal. The public prosecutor stated in reply that the evil one sometimes en tered into animals, as in the case of the swine which drowned themselves in the Sea of Galilee. So the poor creature was convicted, not as a cock, but as a sorcerer, or perhaps the devil in the form of a cock; whereupon the bird and the egg that was attributed to it were solemnly burned at the stake. New York Evening Post. The PerU of Athletics., We are not so certain as is Mr. Slat tery, the secretary to Commissioner Bingham, that "most athletes have weak hearts," but medical records show that many athletes do have hypertrophied hearts, which, though usually strong- during the period of active training, are more susceptible afterward to organic lesion and degen eration when the contestant settles down to sedentary life. We can believe, too, that the doc tors who in May pronounced as physi cally unfit for work on the police force Mr. Melvin W. Sheppard this week's American champion in the 1,600-meter race at the Olympic games in London were not mistaken when they reported that Sheppard had hardening of the arteries and in flammation of the cardiac membrane: that he might be a good athlete, but mignt also "in tne end drop dead. Kven. ath'etes with sound hearts who train for championship contests are always in danger from overstrain. While regular use prolongs the life of any machinery, whether it be of steel or flesh and blood, the athletic driving of the human engine to Its top limit sometimes beyond it, as witness the case of the unfortunate "stroke" in the recent Yale race with Harvard may work a lasting injury. Surely the Justification for record contests of this sort cannot be in their assurance of health and long life to the participants. Indirectly, the "sporting interest" they engender is beneficial, despite Its impulse to make perilous sacrifices for the sake of a possible temporary triumph; for it rouses tens of thousands of young men to an emulation which, owing to the providential conflict of other needs and interests, takes them out of doors and moderately invigorates without permitting excess. New York Times. Creeds for Kittens. There recently appeared In an Eng lish country newspaper this advertise ment: "Kitten wanted; happy home of fered in a Freethinker's family for a playful, pretty kitten; much love, good food, etc" The "want" induces a pleasant speculation. From it one gathers that modern civilization is ad vancing in the direction for solicitude for the welfare of animals. Consider ing the advertisement further. It ap pears that the "awakening of the pub lic conscience" is a condition, not a theory. If honesty had not been pop ularized, or standardized, would one so declare in the public print, for a kitten's sake, his creed, or rather lack of a creed? Possibly the owner of the kitten might prefer for its shelter a good Christian home, but the animal could not go far wrong If under the Influence of so conscientious a lover of cats as "Freethinker." Boston Trans cript. Prisoners' Dodges. The employment for foreign sub stances to help in simulating disease is common In prisons. Lime scraped from the cell wall or the surface of an old brick has been used to aggravate sores or produce inflammation of. tbe eyes.. But simple acting has been prac ticed with amazinr lerseverance and complete success. The late Major Ar thur Griffiths, who knew as much of prisoners' ways as any one In the ser vice of that department of the home office and had had thousands under his control, gave an account of a de ception practiced at Dartmoor by a convict who was supposed to have the bones of his foot diseased.

The outlaw had been making things pretty lively for the guests of the Spouting Springs hotel ever since the spring- season had got fully under way. As a business getter the outlaw was a huge success. No shore resort with an authentic sea serpent ever enjoyed such popularity, and the stages that met the trains from the east lumbered back over the twenty-mile trail loaded to capacity with women who openly avowed their timidity and men who tried more or less successfully to con ceal theirs. Almost every afternoon the porch was crowded to witness the departure of the sheriff and his posse, and almost as regularly some of the guests came hurrying back to the hotel to tell how they had been held up and stripped of their valuables with an expedition that excelled the speed of the man back of the marble counter In the ro tunda. The latter kept the books, and each day set down opposite each ac count a sum that would have obtained board and lodgings for a week at a hotel not curse or blessed by a bandit. Appreciating the fact that much of his booty was keepsakes and heir looms, the bandit was always ready to trade back his plunder for the more convenient specie, and as the landlord insisted upon making sood all losses there were no complaints; Indeed the guests rather enjoyed being held up. It gave them something to talk about when their visit was over. Many of the visitors, by oft repeated telling, so embroidered the accounts of their in dividual holdups that the tales would have offered good material for maga zines. But It was not until Olive Marchand came that the real sensa tion was sprung. Until then the outlaw's taciturnity had been his most pronounced charac teristic, but when the slip of a girl came rushing down the path from the springs to tell how Black Pete had not only held her up, but had detained her in conversation for more than an hour, every woman in the hotel turned envious. The following afternoon the banks of the stream fed by the springs were dotted with women waiting to be captured and talked to, that they might share Miss Marchand's prestige. Possibly It was for this reason that Miss Marchand, walking down the valley instead of toward the springs, was confronted by a lithe figure above whose square-cut chin appeared a mask of black velvet that lent a deep er brillance to a glittering gray eye. "I'm glad to see you this afternoon," was the greeting. "I rather thought I should find you here. The woods are too crowded above and so I came down this way. I trust that you suf fered no 111 effects from the shock of our meeting yesterday." "I rather enjoyed It," admitted Olive frankly. "I really think that the other women are envious." Pete smiled at recollection of the goodly company he had passed on his way down the trail. There was no question about it. He motioned her to a seat on the fallen trunk of a tree and sat down beside her. The girl was an eager questioner and presently he was reeling off stories of adventure -with a dash that brought the glow of excitement to Miss Marchand's eyes. To make it still more thrilling there was a crash lnir sound among the trees, and with out a word the outlaw swung himself up Into a tall pine just as the sherltt and his posse came tearing alona. They paused long enough to warn the girl that Black pete was supposed to be somewhere In her vicinity, and that it would be well for her to return to the hotel by the trail Instead of through the woods, tnen tney hurried on and Pete swung himself down from his perch. "This Is the easiest experience I ever had," he declared laughingly. "The sheriff trusts to numbers and hard riding, with the result that I have plenty of time to disappear when I hear him coming. "It must be terrible to feel that you are a hunted thing," mused Olive with a little shudder. "That's the Joyous part," declared the outlaw. "I am not hunted when the pursuit Is in the hands of the sheriff. But let s forget the sheriff. he added. "I've told you all about myself. Now turn about is fair play." "It would all seem so tame after what you have told me," she demur red, but she was soon deep in her sub ject, and it was not until the after noon shadows lengthened that at last she recalled herself and hurried up the trail toward the hotel, where half a hundred disappointed women were already gathered upon the porch. There was not exactly an arrange ment to meet the following afternoon, but Black Pete had said that he would be over on "the Branch," and she found him there in the late afternoon. This time he had removed his mask, disclosing a face in which there was no hint of the depravity with which he was credited. It was an honest manly face, with frank, gray eyes and a tangle of crisp yellow curls above a smooth white brow. With the mask off, only two .45s swung on his hips suggested the bad man, and while they talked Olive forgot that she was In company ot a man who was out lawed by society and upon whose head there was an increasingly heavy price "dead or alive," aa the bills of reward read. Pete escorted her nearly to the ho tel by a short cut, and not until she came upon the hotel piazza and heard them discussing the hold-up of that morning did she realize again that this was the man with whom she had been spending the afternoon. Then followed weeks of indecision. Sometimes Olive would declare to her self that she would never see Black Pete again. At such times she hated herself for having given her love to a breaker of the law, but love had been given, and love Is powerful above the law. Her periods of revulsion were sure to be followed by penitential moods, when she was glad to pass through the leafy aisles of the forest to their tryst' The guests of the hotel profited by the absorption of the bandit, for days passed when no hold-up was recorded and the attendance began to fall off. Olive was glad that the depredations were leess plentiful, for these were largely responsible for her moments of self-accusation. Finally after one of his most brilliant feats she at last decided to go where she might try to forget that she ever loved him. With eyes heavy with unshed tears she made her way to the little cave where they frequently met. Here they would say good-by. Pete had taught her to move so lightly that her footfalls scarcely were audible, and so It happened that she came upon two men talking In the shadows of a clump of pines without betraying her pres ence. "Yon will have to do better than this," Portman was saying. "You have only pulled off two holdups this week. Tt Is trettinar too tame for the iruests." "I know it" admitted Pete, "but I have been busy." "1 pay you for your time," was Port- man's angry retort. "You were te give me at least one holduc a da v. M guests are disappointed if it don't hap pen, and you've got to earn your sal ary." "I'm tired of the tm." aald Pata shortly. "Go get some one elese te be your outlaw; I'm done." "Mow den t get hot and throw ud the Job like that." urged Portman. rou know I can t break In a new man right In the middle of a season. It would take him a month to learn the paths, and the-sheriff would catch him the first thing and spoil It all. I didn't mean to be so short I'll give you $10 more a month." -"Do you think that if money was an object I'd be an outlaw for $30 a month," demanded Pete. "No. You go get some one else on the Job." Portman's face was the picture ot despair. His hired outlaw had been the making of the hotel. It would not be possible at short notice to find any one who could be trusted to rob the guests and who had sufficient wood craft to escape capture. He was still seeking a new argu ment to advance when a call from the underbrush caused both men to start. Pete went bounding into the thicket to confront Olive. "So you've found out what a farce I am ha cried. "And I am so glad," declared the girl. "I knew in my heart that you were worthy. Pete, cant we have a honeymoon here in the woods. You can do the holdups in the morning and I'll help. It will be such fun." Pete's eyes twinkled. "I'll make Portman give me a week off," he eried, "and then we'll resume operations at the old stand." "There will be an awful time with father," mused the girl, and Pete laughed again. "No trouble there," he assured. "You see, I'm really Robert Parkman. We have some business deals on to gether, so he knows me. I'm only playing bandit because It promised more fun than a mere camping out trip." Olive gasped. She had heard of the eccentric millionaire. As Parkman took her In his arms the sheriff went galloping past on his way to Join the posse in Its afternoon Jaunt after the outlaw. "You beat the sheriff," he declared with a tender laugh. "You have cap tured the outlaw for life." "It looks as though it were the oth er way about." corrected Olive de murely as she glanced at the imprison ing arms. "My outlaw has captureed me."

A woman never knows her own mind until she has changed it five or six times. No man can become popular unless he Is willing to be bored once In a while. The things that might possibly hap pen keep some people from being happy- We never love a man for the enemies he has made if we happen to be one of them. Bravery aside, a woman won't show the white feather if some other color Is more fashionable. A man can keep more things from his wife than she can find by going through his pockets.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1903. New Physical Development Building, or Gymnasium, Designed by State Architect John F. Stanton for the State Normal School. i. pi m- r -t r i Fir hi- mmmmKFZ? m i1 Jt'l .1" What the pedagogues call a "physi cal development" building, but what everybody ele will call a gymnasium Is to be immediately erected at Em poria for the State Normal school. The contract for the building has Just been let to I Crosby Son of Kansas City for t69,548, and this does not Include heating or lighting. The total appropriation for the building was $75,000. The building will be In many ways one of the most unique gymnasiums in the country, and. according to State Architect John F. Stanton, who de signed it. it will be the best normal school gymnasium in the west. The building is really two gymnasiums in one. One-half of the building is for men, and the other half is for women. IT HELPS BRYAN. I-a lVllettc's Speech lU-ing Printed by IeinoTatlc Campaign Managers. Washington, Aug. 4. How did La Follette know it? When the Wisconsin senator made his famous filibuster speech against the currency bill last winter, and broke the long distance talking record, he told the country that the two great financial interests of the nation which lie characterized broadly as the Stand ard Oil-Harriman group and the Morgan-Hill group had, after a feud of many years, made peace, agreed on terms of amity and co-operation, and that hereafter they would work to gether for the further consolidation and centralization of their Joint power. So firmly was the idea fixed in the public mind that these two great fixed stars of finance were destined always to remain in opposition, and could never come into conjunction, that this suggestion by the Wisconsin senator was generally ridiculed. But there are a lot of politicians now who are wondering how LaFol lette knew. They' have been reading1 about a reported recent conference of J. Pierpont Morgan and E. H. Harrl man, at which, it Is said, they reached an agreement relating to certain tre mendous aspects of railroad finance; that, as a result of that agreement, Harrlman went ahead with his plans for dipping Into the Erie, and then proceeded to the aid of one of the Oould roads when it needed help. Harrlman will have done the very thing LaFollette predicted would come to pass or part of it at least and will have done it so soon after LaFol lette made the prediction that the pre diction Is etlll fresh In mind. The Democratic campaign commit teemen are not giving themselves too much concern about how LaFollette The Primaries are over and we are elected to sell more uggies Surreys and Runabouts in the next 60 day than in any one year since we have been established. WHY? Because we are sell ing high-grade, fine ly finished Vehicles at the same prices cheaply made Ve hicles are usually sold. We can eas ily convince you if you will drop in and let us show you. REHK0PF RPflQ BUILDERS USXKJD. DEALERS 207-209 W. Sixth St. The only thing which Is used In com mon Is the swimming pool in the base ment, which on certain days will be turned over to men and on others to women. There are two basement entrances to the building, one entrance for men and one for women. At one end of the basement are the men's shower baths and lockers; at the other are the women's shower baths and lockers. The first floor has two gymnasiums for ordinary class work In gymnastics. These gymnasiums are divided by roller curtains, so that they can, if desired, be thrown Into one room. On the second floor is the main gym nasium room, which extends to the roof through two floors. But this main gymnasium room is also divided Into halves by a curtain, and Is further divided by the fact that on the men's knew it. They are Just getting his big financial speech printed as a cam paign document and sending: It all over the country. Report Is that LaFollette is going to do a good deal of chautaaqua plat form work this year, and that he will make a feature of the remarkable ap parent verification of his prediction. The Democrats hope the report Is true. They say that a few good "nonparti san" speeches by LaFollette along this line would carry several middle west ern states which they are not sure about at this time. NICK PAID THE BILL. Mrs. Ijongworth Offered Servants $5 a nay Not to Strike. Denver, Aug. 4. Ernest Ruffinl, a delegate to the recent convention of the Kappa Signa fraternity In Denver, has returned from the Yellowstone Park and tells this story: Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, daughter of the president, and party reached a crowdd hotel in the Yellowstone Park last month and found the ser vants on a strike. Mrs. Longworth said: "Servants all on strike? Oh, that's all right. Just tell the girls I'll give them $5 a day each if they'll work while we are here. Ask them If they won't do It as a personal favor to me." The servants resumed work and all went well while the Longworth. party stayed at the hotel. Congressman Longworth footed the bills. BALDWIN IS BUSY. Getting Ready for a night Late This Afternoon. Washington, Aug. 4. Captain Thom as S. Baldwin is today making every effort to have his machine in perfect condition so that he can make a flight late this afternoon. He worked inces santly and without meals from early morning until after sundown yester day before he was prevailed upon to postpone his initial flight until today. At 5 o'clock the big airship, which was specially built for the army, was taken from the house and permitted to rise to a height of 100 feet. The balloon squad of the signal corps towed the balloon from the hanger or balloon house, to the drill ground, one mile away from which the flights will be made. All the way up hill Captain Baldwin directed the work of towing, a crowd of a thousand persons follow ing. Trees, buildings and wires made the work of towing the airship a diffi cult one, but throughout CaptainBald win had the machine In perfect con trol, although the Immense gas bag lurched and plunged with each vary ing gust of wind. That a flight was not made yesterday was largely due to the fact that much depends upon the success of Captain Baldwin's airship not only from the builder's view point but from that of Secretary of War Wright and the offi cers of the army who realize that the action of congress In aeronautical ap propriation at the next session will be largely Influenced by the results at tained at the trial. 1,000 FIRE FIGHTERS Turn Out to Stop Conflagration Started by Careless Traveler. Aberdeen, Wash.. Aug. 4. A careless traveler who threw a lighted match into the underbrsuh started a forest fire 12 miles from Hoqulam on the Hump Tulllps Hoqulam road that quickly getting beyond control has al ready swept over 10,900 acres of slash ings, on which were piled 15 million feet of cut timber and now threatens to destroy the logging camps of the Poison Logging company, Shaw Nel son and the Stock Sell Logging com pany. Fourteen thousand acres of green timber Be directly in the path of the flames and tHere Is no hope of saving any of it unless the wind which is now blowing a gale, dies down. One thousand men are fighting the lira, but at this time they seem unable to check Its progress. The property loss will exceed 250,000. The lire is one of the worst ever experienced In this section.

UfiWI Htl side there is a running track all the way around at the height of the third floor, while on the woman's side there is an observation gallery for basket ball games. There are also rooms on this floor for lectures, classes and oth er purposes. The building will be 205 feet long and 65 feet wide. It will be built of vitrl fled brick, with buff brick and buff terra cotta trimmings. The floor space of the main gymnasium is large enough to provide room for two regulation size basket ball courts. But after all, the Joke is that tha building isn't to be called a gymnas ium. The appropriation calls for a "physical training" building, and the building Itself bears the inscription "Physical Development." The word gymnasium probably didn't sound suf ficiently dignified for a normal school. FIRE LOSS $7,500,000. With Insurace Not More Than 91,500,. 000 and End Is Not Vet. Cranbrook. B. C, Aug. 4.

The great for est fire that has desolated vast areas and destroyed several towns in this section and British Columbia, still rages unchecked through the pines and firs of East Kootenai. A path of charred stumps and smouldering ruins. stretches for nearly 50 miles along the tracks of the Canadian Paaiflc. At some points it is but a mile in width at others nearly 10 miles. Only rala can put out the flames and weeks may pass Deiore a drop or water rails. But the worst Is over. A few scat tering settlers lived in the woods and those have had ample warning. Today the towns are full of hope. Hosmer has been scorched but now seems safe. Crow's Nest is not believed to be in peril. Michel Is in the greatest dan ger and even here the fire fighters ap pear to have the nearest flames under control and unless a high wind arises the town Is safe. Tne men driven out of Fernie are drifting back to the ashes. Nearly 500 are now camped amid the still smoking ruins. Searching parties are looking for victims of Saturday's lire, but thus far only about 40 bodies are reported to have been found in the Fernie dis trict. It is hoped the entire death roll may not exceed 75. Spokane Remembers. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4.

The Par aguayan government Is in the throes of another revolution, and this time it looks as though the revolutionary party had been successful over the government. Telegraphic reports re ceived here state that the president, Barrigno Ferrelra, has been put out and Dr. Emelio Gonzales Naviere ap pointed in his place. Dr. Naviere held the office of vice president In the government which has just been oust ed. Paraguayan ministers to the oth er republics of South America are taking refuge in other legations, and It Is thought the new government will completely reorganize the diplomatic service. Unofficial dispatches state that the new cabinet includes Manuel Gondra. the Paraguayan minister to Brazil: Dr. Eusebia Ayala, Dr. Alvirojara, Dr. Adolfo Rieulem, Dr. Manual Franco. These represent a combination of the two most powerful parties in Par aguay, the Liberal and Colorado, and it is believed that their appointment will assure early peace to the coun try. The members of the former govern ment, it is understood, have taken refuge in the foreign legations. The people of Paraguay are chiefly of S Danish or Indian descent. Par aguay itself presents a succession of hills and valleys. Western Paraguay is apparently an immense plain, and is subject to periodical inundations of great magnitude. The industrial wealth of Paraguay Is largely depend ent upon the products of the soil. The most valuable of these Is the indigen ous Paraguayan tea. Oranges grow wild everywhere. Tobacco is largely grown for home consumption. The legislative power is vested in a congress of two houses, a senate and a house of deputies. Members of both houses are elected by universal suf frage. The cabinet consists of five members. HEAVY VOTE AT COUNCIL GROVE About 80 Per Cent of the Country Voters at tbe Polls. Council Grove. Kan..

Only Twenty-five Houses Left, Fernie, B. C, Aug. 4. No person who has not seen can imagine the awrul devastation which in the short space of two hours transformed what was a busy center of industry into a desolato waste and left 6,000 people homeless. The scene during the progress of the fire is described as appalling, men.wo men and children fleeing for their lives, leaving everything they posses erl to the -merry of the flames. From 5 f AM 5 h ft I i Mr i tt r 1 1 Iff 1 t i t Michel, where the fire scene begins on the east for 20 miles west is yet a sea of fire with miles and miles of blazing mountain side. Michel is yet safe, but the whole valley of the river is on fire and if the wind starts up the town l doomed. All the women and children have been sent to Blairmore, Frank and Coleman for safety. All mines are shut down and the men are fighting the fires in relays, ploughing, back fir ing, clearing underbrush, or soaking the roofs of houses with water, of which.-fortunately, there is a good supply. Only about a dozen houses have been burned in Hosmer so far, but the fire Is all around it. Many from Ferni have taken refuge at the new coke oven being built where they are safe even if the town is burned. They are being cared for and fed as well as con ditlons will permit. At Fernie, how ever, the greatest scene of desolation exists. By actual count only 25 houses are left standing. Not a business house remains except, the western Canadian company s warehouse and the crow Nest Pass Coal company, which stood in the middle of a square where number of persons took refuge while death raged around them. The town of Fernie, West Fernie. the "annex, the old town, Frenchtown and all the lumber mills in and around Fernie are wiped out with the exception of the buildings named. Dog Dives for Fish.

The dog's penchant for fishing was already developed when Breen pur chased hln1 in the south for 835. Since then the owner of the canine has gone on many fishing excursions with the animal, and the brute always makes a better catch than his master. He cently the dog dove Into the Wabash river at the word from Breen, and after remaining under water for more than a minute brought up a German earn weighing twenty-eight pounds. The dog is about tne size or a run grown shepherd dog, and has short brown hair. Danviue nil.) uispaicn to Chicago Inter-Ocean. On Rntrland Tombstones.

It looks a little as though the state tax commission had out-maneuvered the Western Union Telegraph com- pany In the little game of "injunction, injunction, who's got the injunction," before the federal court. The state tax commission assessed the Western Union about $3,000,000, and notified the state auditor to that effect. The auditor made the usual distribution to the various counties, and notified the county clerks. Then the Western Union jumped in with a loud scream of protest, and said its assessment was too high, and slapped an injunction on the tax com mission to prevent that commission from doing anything further with it. In due course the county clerks certified back to thetax commission the reports of the county boards of equalization, and Included their por tion of the Western Union assessment. After taking counsel, the tax commis sion decided that it would be no viola tion of an injunction to fire these Western Union figures back to the counties again, and let the counties go ahead with their tax collection on that basis. Otherwise t he whole operation of the tax law would be blocked indefinitely. under the conditions. It looks as though the Western Union's attempt to block the business of tbe state by the federal court route was a dog-fall. fcamuei t. Howe, chairman of the commission, said today: "The tax com mission made the assessment of the Western Union, and certified it to the auditor. The auditor made the distri bution to the various counties, and sent out the notice to the county clerks. "One week later, the Western Union secured from the federal court an in junction 'restraining this board from equalizing, changing, or acting in any official capacity on the assessment of the company. So when it became our duty to sdt as a board of equalization. we couia oo nothing further with the Western Union. We could simply cer tify to the county clerks the same as sessed value which they had sent back to us, and those valuations are the same as we sent out in the first place. mere was not time to go outside of the state to some other federal court and secure a modification of the order; we were obliged to comply with the state laws, and certify out the property for assessment. Had we held up the Western Union returns, the whole as sessment would have been blocked. unaer tne restraining order. I am not allowed to express any opinion as to wnetner the counties have a right to go ahead and make a levy on that western union valuation as returned. I must keep my hands oft. "The fact that the Western Union Item is listed under the head of 'de duction' has caused some question, but that is merely a technicality. It is not really a deduction. TO BEGIN IN MAINE. Republican National Campaign Open in Pine Tree State. Will New York. Aug. 4. The first state campaign to receive consideration by Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican national committee, will be Maine because in that state the election will take place September 15 former senator John J. Hill, a mem ber of the national committee and State Chairman Boyd, held a long conference with Mr. Hitchcock today relative to getting speaaers. They wanted Mr. Taft, but this could not be arranged. The only national speakers thus far assigned to the state are Congressman Sherman and Senator W. F. Borah of Idaho. The dates for their speeches have not been fixed. Mr. Hill with Mr. Hitchcock will go to Oyster Bay on Friday to consult with the president. There is no question so much dis cussed in political circles here as that whether Governor Hughes, of New York, is to be given a renomination. Even the political leaders from other states appear curious concerning the probable outcome of the present deli cate situation. Mr. Hitchcock has re ceived calls alike from forces for and against the governor, but he has re frained from making any statement indicating preference. E. C. Duncan, of North Carolina, who' is a member of the executive committee of the national committee is in New York today going over the southern situation with Mr. Hitch cock. Both of them were very much inter ested in the announcement that Mr. Taft favored making a vigorous cam paign in certain portions of the south and such a course is in accord ance with the views they have held. George R.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 4, 19C3. ONE filORE CUT. The Water Rates Will Again Be Reduced. The New Kansas Veterinary College at the Agricultural College. Aggregate Is About Thirty Thousand Dollars. PS METER USERS ONLY. DON'T FAIL TO ATTEND Does Not Apply to the Flat Rate Consumers. 6 T7YC rH BE 51A 1 w t IF1I City Council Takes the Neces .sary Steps. Another reduction In water rates will be made to the consumers of city wa ter. The cut will apply to meter users only. Those who are on a fiat rate can secure the reduction by going over to the meter service. As about two thirds, rapidly increasing, are now on meter the reduction will affect the great majority of users of city water. The cut in price will amount to about $30,000 a year and will be apportioned among the consumers and based upon the amount of revenue secured from ach class. The reduction will become effective about January 1. The board has Just announced a cut averaging 10 per cent which was placed Into effect on July 1. This other cut comes as an additional largess and is based upon a raise in the tax levy for fire hydant rental which the council last evening approved of. The only tax that the city pays as a whole tow ards supporting the waterworks de partment is through the Are hydrant rental which is supposedly to cover the cost of the water furnished at fires and the cost of the Installation of large high pressure mains and fire hydrants. The tax in the past has been right around $16,000 and has remained uni formly at this figure for years. The cost of the fire protection afforded by the waterworks department is said to largely exceed these figures and conse quently the deficit must be met by the consumers of city water who pay a higher rate than they would if the ren tal were higher. This is inequitable declares the board of waterworks trus tees and so last evening petitioned the council for an increased levy. They want one mill which will bring in un der the new valuation about J45.00O. The suggestion was made to the board by Mayor Green and was readily accepted for it has been under consid eration for some time. It was expected that the council would meet the proposed change with considerable opposition, but it passed without the quiver of an eyelash. This is the way the board explained To the Honorable Mayor and Coun cil, Topeka. Gentlemen: In 1905 when the city became owner of the water plant your honorable body believing that the city at large should pay for water used by the city and its several departments, made a levy sufficient to pay into the city treasury for the use of the water department an amount equal to the sum which the city had been paying the Topeka water company for rental of 300 fire hydrants. Since 1905, 98 additional hydrants have been added, which with other improvements. has largely increased to property holders protection against loss by Are. "Many of said property owners are not consumers of water, and there fore pay nothing for the protection afforded except by general tax. We think that It is safe to estimate that cnly about 50 per cent of the buildings fronting upon streets in which water mains are laid are consumers or navo connections with the mains. "In view of the fact that extensions have been made on which 98 addition al hydrants have been placed, that new sewers have been built on which flush tanks have been constructed, whereby the city is guaranteed addi tional fire protection and becomes a larger consumer of water, we believe the levy for the benefit of the water fund should be Increased. We there fore respectfully request that the levy for the year 1908 be made one mill, while such a levy will create a larger fund than has heretofore been paid by general taxation, it will also enable the waterworks trustees to make a re duction in rates to consumers equal to said increase, which will be done as soon as the proposed levy is avail able." After demurring somewhat over the Inspection fee named of SI in the new milk inspection ordinance which pro vides for the appointment of a veter inarian by the city to make a physical examination of all dairy cows furnish ing milk to the city and a chemical test of the milk, the council agreed to pass the ordinance which Is to take effect on October 1. State Dairy Com missioner Wilson stated that the fee was not large, for it covered an ex haustive inspection of both a physical and chemical nature and there was no revenue In it to the city. The tuberculosis in cows which is a fertile source of that disease through the communication establish ed by drinking impure milk will be guarded against and all cows so suf fering will be condemned. Water in milk will also be under the ban and none can be sold either in restaurants or by milk dealers. A certain percent age of butter fat must be contained as well as a good coating of cream, skimmed milk receives a cold look. A fine of ten to one hundred dollars and Imprisonment not to exceed one hun dred days will follow a violation. The inspector will receive $1,200 a year and must pass an examination, both written and oral, in addition he must furnish his own equipment for In spection. A new 12 Inch main costing $9,343.08 will be laid on West Sixth avenue from West street to Topeka avenue and will replace the 6 inch and 8 inch main which now serves the city down that TRY T g- -4- Formerly called MT U3l VElijah-.

Time was, and not so very long ago either, when a man who was a na tural "tinker" either became an itinerant clock mender or a "hoss doc tor." Then any farmer who liked to "doctor" and who did not like to work became known as a country "hoss doc tor" and after a few years he moved to town and "loafed" around a livery stable and then he called himself a veterinarian, although he seldom wrote the word or if he did he was sure to spell it incorrectly.

Drenning,. city attorney, asked for a vacation of 15 days to bask in the coolness of the snowy mountain, but the council did not receive the re quest in a kindly mood. "I think the city attorney should make some report on the 25 cent gas ordinance. I asked for an opinion from him about 6 months ago and never heard a thing," said Hughes starting things. "I think if he put more time in liis office Instead of tending to politics he would have had time to make that re port," said Horn. The final recommen dation was that Drenning should first render his opinion before going away. The Topeka Edison company made $22,816.54 above operating expenses for the first six months of 1908 according to a report filed with the city clerk and referred to the city attorney. The report shows: Capital invested ..$971,528.73 Total receipts light ..i 43,201.62 Total receipts power... 35,705.40 Total receipts steam 12,935.74 Total amt. general expense... 13,220.58 Total amt. mfg. expense 29,378.48 Total amount distribution 8,548.05 Interest paid 17.781.01 No deduction was made for deprec iation as stated.

The city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance fixing a penalty for such business enterprise. Councilman Hughes who does not like Superintendent Goodrich of the city electric light plant Introduced a resolution calling for the superintend ent's suspension if the latter did not file a bond as required by law at the next regular meeting of the council. The resolution was sent to the com mittee on Judiciary. The Second ward is carefully plant ing a good sized bomb under the To peka Desiccating company and a loud explosion is liable to ensue. Council man Miller got up in meeting and stated that the company were permit ting dead animals to accumulate In their yards at the foot of Jefferson street and that stench arising had caused sickness. "If something isn't done I am going to have the plant re moved. We are not going to stand it," said Miller. The health and sani tation committee will take this up with the desiccating company. The old ordinance creating the office of sealer of weights and measures was repealed and a new one passed. This last while carrying the same features as the former one gives the inspector the right to stop any wagons in thi city carrying products which should be weighed or measured. Resolutions providing for the paving on East Sixth avenue and Locust and the Blddle creek drainage improve ments were adopted. The board of appraisers to assess the cost of the improvements against the property liable were appointed and win consist of the following men: J. H. Squires, J. F. Buck, George Hanley, R. M.

Jfonetary Commission Will Study Foreign Financial Systems. New York. Aug. 4. Legislation es tablishing a comprehensive monetary system undoubtedly will, in time, su persede the Vreeland-Aldrich bill, is the opinion of Senator Aldrich. The senator made this announcement In a statement given to the Associated Press before he sailed for Europe with his fellow members of the sub committee of the monetary committee, which goes abroad to study financial conditions in foreign countries. Sena tor Aldrich's statement follows: "To obtain more complete and ac- urate information than Is now avail able with reference to the monetary and banking systems if the leading commercial nations la the principal purpose of the subcommittee of the national monetary commission, who are leaving today for London. The subcommittee also Intend to make a thorough examination into the meth ods in use for the collection and dis tribution of the public revenues in each of the leading countries of Europe. "The active work of the commission this summer will be carried on by the subcommittee who are going abroad, and by another subcommittee of which Representative Weeks is the acting chairman who are now engaged In considering amendments to the ad ministrative features of the national banking laws. "This work is but preliminary to the report which the commission are required to make to congress of a complete monetary and banking sys tem -for the country. It was not ex pected that the legislative provisions of the act of May 30. 1908. would be final or permanent. They were adopt ed with the single purpose, already ac complished, of providing against the recurrence of destructive conditions similar to those from which the coun try suffered in October last. This act will undoubtedly be superseded In tlm of legislation establishing a com parative monetary system."

From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ilia. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of BliJS.C. St; Louisiana, Mo., writes i Complete restoration td health means so much to me that for the sake at other suffering' women I am willing to make my troubles public, "For twelve years had been suffer- nj with the worst forms of female ills. Daring- that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue ian tell what I suffered, and at times I :ould hardly walk. About two years s.go I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com ooqnd and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- tored health and strength. It Is rorth mountains of gold to suffering romen.'' What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. at the Chicago Beach hotel where she will meet Miss Elizabeth LaBar and Miss Olen Davis and they win all go up to Oconomowoo. fora- fortnight.

8 TIES TOPEKA DAILY. STATU JQUTlTTAIr TTTESDAY AUGUST 4, 1903. DEATH INAN AUTO Judge G. A. VandeTeer Struck by Golden State Limited. Attempted to Cross Rock Island Track Ahead of Train. ON EVE OF PRIMARIES. Was a Candidate for District Judge at llntehinson. Darrell Taylor, the Drirer, Was Seriously Injured. Hutchinson. Kan., Aug. 4. Judge George A. Vandeveer, a member of the) law firm of Vandeveer A Martin, and Republican candidate for judge of the Ninth judicial district with almost a certainty that he would have been nominated at today's primaries, was Instantly killed Monday afternoon at 6:80 o'clock, when an automobile In which he was riding- was struck by the Rock Island Golden State limited on a crossing in the east end of the city. The train tore the machine to pieces, throwing Mr.- Vandeveer -out. and mashing the back part of his head. His arms .were both broken. The own er of the machine, Darrell Taylor, was also badly Injured, and after the acci dent the train backed up to the scene of the accident and took Taylor to the depot, leaving Mr. Vandeveer's body until It could be viewed by the coroner. The accident occurred on Fourth avenue east. The Rock Island grade at this point Is heavy as the road comes down from the sand hills and the train was making SO miles an hour when It struck the machine. Mr. Vandeveer leaves a wif j and three children, a daughter. Mrs. Testlet, of New York city, Fred D. J. of Detroit and Harry of Los Angeles. Besides these his sister Is Mrs. Frank L. Mar tin, Mr. Vandeveer's law partner. Judge Vandeveer was making his last trip before the primary. He had been out a good share of the day In the machine. In the country, and was coming to town to end his work. He and his friends felt certain of his nomination, his opponent being Chas. A. Branine of Harvey county, who Is certain of being named now.- He had worked hard during the campaign in Harvey, McPherson and Reno coun ties covering a great share of the three In an automobile. Judge Vandeveer was born Decem ber 13, 1853, In Christian county, III. He has been a practicing lawyer for years in Hutchinson, and with the ex ception of a few years in New York city, had practiced here since 1872. Darrell Taylor, who was driving the machine, lives in Kansas City, and is a son of C. L. Taylor of the SwofTord Brothers' Dry Goods company. The young man was visiting here and oper ntlng a machine for his uncle, H. H. Tavlor, of the Hutchinson News. Doubtless there will be many votes cast for Judge Vandeveer today, as there Is no way to notify many voters over the three counties who intended to vote for him. Just five years ago Matthew P. Simp son, then Judge of this district, was killed In tn automobile accident near Newton, the machine running off a country road bridge "aMd bringing in stant death. ,Vr Judge Vandeveet wa.s recently ap pointed by the supreme court as a member of the examining board for law students and still later was ap pointed referee in the Wichita ouster Kult brought hy the attorney general a gainst the mayor of the city for al lowing saloons to run.

FUN FOR MRS. TAFT. Langhn at Husband When He Re hearses for Canned Talks. Hot Springs. Va, Aug. 4. Candidate Taft has consented to make several short speeches Into talking machines for reproduction. As the process of making a phonograph record is some what different from making a' cam paign speech from the back of a car platform or from a front porch. Mr. Taft found Mrs. Taft laughing at him as he was doing a bit of rehearsing for the real records. Several experi mental talks were made and repro duced with varying degrees of satisfac tion. The speeches which a single rec ord will hold averages about 800 words. The topics to be discussed for repeti tion' In this way have not as yet been decided upon. As an example of what the machine can do, the candidate was treated to the reproduction of a speech made by W. J. Bryan. Mr. Taft has fixed August 21 as the date for the rally of Virginia Republi cans here. He will make a political address from the porch of the club house adjacent to the hotel. The date was fixed at at Interview with Repre sentative Slemp and Sheriff Brown. FOR CHEAPER COAL. Oklahoma Will Try to Fix the Selling Price. Guthrie. Okla., Aug. 4.

Cincinnati. O.. Aug. 4. A pathetic sight was seen In the county clerk'3 office In Newport.

Wash., and Pearl Rupple. of Portland, Ind. They went from Cincinnati in a cab to the city across the river and when the man stepped from the cab with the young woman In his arms he attracted a crowd. In the clerk's office he placed her on the counter, while the docu ment was being prepared. The young woman's legs were amputated as the result of a railroad accident. After se curing the license the couple went to a parsonage and were married. RATES TOO LOW. Harrinian Farors Revision of Present Schedules. Railroads Pictured as Heavy Losers at Present. NO WAGE REDUCTION. Laborer Is Entitled to All He Can Get. Railway Wizard Discusses Hep burn Act Unfavorably. Chicago, Aug. 4. Edward. H. Har riman preceded his departure from Chicago for the wept by a short dis cussion of the possibility of the gener al increase of freight rates in the U. S. "The American people ought to be willing to pay the railroads a proper compensation for-a proper transporta tion service," he said. "Such a ser vice we are. now performing, but for It we are not receiving an adequate re turn. "If the railroads are to go on ex tending their lines, improving- those which are now operated and providing new equipment to take care of the country's business they must have more revenue. "I am not in favor of a cold, cal culating, cruel and horizontal in crease in rates. I am not a traffic man and I do not know much about such things, but 1 know that there is a proper way to go about a thing arrd that there is a Singling way." Mr. Harriman seemed to favor a general readjustment of freight tariffs rather than a general increase. He be lieved that many rates are too low and should be raised, but he was op posed to a straight 10 per cent in crease in the carrying charges for all commodities. "Is there to be an increase In freight rates?" he was asked. "How can I tell?" wa the reply, ac companied by a despairing wave of his hand. "Well, if there is to be no increase in freight rates will there-be a decline in wages?" was the next question. "I don't care to talk about wages." said Mr. Harriman,-"but -the railroad laborer is in the same position that the railroad should be in. j He is enti tled to. all he can get for his services, provided he gives the very best ser vice that lies in him." Mr. Harriman, while here held con ferences with various heads of rail roads, in which he is interested. The conferences were attended by J. C. Stubbs, traffic director; Julius Krutts chnitt, director of maintenance: S. M. Felton, president of the Mexican Cen tral railroad and E. P. Ripley, presi dent of the Santa Fe system. At luncheon later at the Chicago club. Mr. Harriman met J. J. Mitchell, president of the Chicago Northwestern rail roads and several officials of the Union Pacific. To reporters to whom he talk ed before going to the club. Mr. Harri man declared he was opposed to the Hepburn bill or any railroad regulation unless it carried with it provisions for publicity and regulation, protection for the railways. "The Hepburn act. 4n it self would not be harmful." said Mr. Harriman. "had it been coupled with some legislation for protection as well as regulation. -This I -..stated to the president as far back' as' 1905. 1 also wrote to Mr. Taft about it" that' same year. I said then I favored regulation and publicity if coupled with protection so as to permit the movement of traffic along the lines of least resistance and least cost. This can only be accom plished by co-operation between the railroads and the. government. Unless the government is willing to grant one, it should not enforce the other." -Harriman AVants Co-operation. Omaha, Neb.r Aug. 4. "What we want is co-operation and rationalism," said E. H. Harriman. as he sat in his private car this morning eating a bowl of milk ;and rice for his breakfast. Chicago was too much for Mr. Har riman and his stomach has gone back on him. The big railroad magnate was half way sick this morning and spent a restless night. "However, I'll he all right in a couple of days," he said, as his train pulled out at 9:30 for the west. "When will you resume building operations in the west?" was asked. Whenever the revenue warrants It. We are ready and anxious Just as soon as the returns from our present lines warrant the building of new ones. Al though revenue has shown an increase In the last two or three months, it is not to compare with two or three vears ago. We are doing some build lng in Nebraska and Wyoming as well as on the Pacific coast. "How is business in your territory? Mr. Harriman was asked. "Don't call it my territory." peevish ly answered Harriman.'i "It all my territory just as it s any other man's-. It Is all interdependent." Mr. Harriman was Joined at Omaha by General Counsel Lovnt of the Har riman lines, who went west with the magnate. FIVE KILLED; TWO HURT. Automobile Carrying Seven People Plunges Over Kmliankxnent.

Coming down a steep grade near Crystal lake Miss Ethel McCormick, who was at the wheel., endeavored to chei k the speed of tht car by apply ing the foot brakes. It failed to hold the automobile which was raj-hlly 4.il-.Ing a dangerous headway -djwn the hill and Miss McCormick hastily threw on the emergency brakes. They srapped almost instantly. Fearing that she could not guide the huge car in safety to the bottom of tbe grade owlntf to the sharp turns, the young woman endeavored to steer against the 1 k on tno -right, believing that the friction on the wheels would bring it to a stop. Th front wheel, how ever, struck a largo rock, swerved Oiarply to the left and the next moment- the car. plunged down the steep embankment striking h-eadon 85 feet below against a large tree. Mrs. Mc Cormlck, her daughter. Clara, and In fant son of Mrs. O'Brien struck on their heads and were instantly killed. Mrs. O'Brien and her 3-year-old son, Ira, died threa hours later.

So Western Union Appeals From tc- clwton of Court.- D. M. Brower of Lewis, Kan., sued the Western Union Telegraph company some time ago for $500 and got a Judg ment from the Jury for $800. The court reduced the verdict to $500 to conform to the petition. After the jury brought in this gen erous verdict. Fred Dumont Smith, at torney for Brower. filed a motion with the court to amend the plaintiff's peti tion to provide for $800 damages in stead of $500, and the court denied the motion. Today the Western Union company appealed from the verdict for $800, and Mr. Smith filed an intervening peti tion of appeal on the ground that his client should be allowed the full $800 aHowed by the Jury instead of the $500 for which he asked in his petition. The case was one involving a cattle shipment. Brower arranged with O. J. Brown at Garden City to sell him some cattle. Brown was to have five car loads, and to wire Brower to come when he was ready to deliver them. He wired Brower but the message fail ed to reach him Two days later he wired him again, and the second mes sage arrived. .Brower was put to much trouble and-expense because of the delay in gettfrng the cattle started on the cars. WHICH LAMP IS BEST? Mr. Goodrich Wnl Go. Ecst to Find Out. Undecided as to which type of lamp Is the most desirable, the board of electric light commissioners has dele gated H. G. Goodrich, superintendent of the plant, to make a tour of eastern cities as well as the large manufactur ing plants of electrical supplies to dis cover which is in reality tne better of the two enclosed arc lamps Doth of Which were tested here. Mr. Good rich will go as far east as Pittsburg and stop en route at a number of the larger cities where the lamp? are now in service. Mr. Goodrich will be gone for about two weeks. The final esti mate on the amount of the bond issue necessary to rebuild the plant is held up pending a report from Goodrich, coupled with this is the aosence from the city of two of the commissioners, W. W. Mills and Herbert Hackney, which makes it still further impossible to make a final report. It- looks very much now as if the improvements to the plant will not be commenced before the middle of October. NEW BATTLE. FLAGS BOUGHT. Two to Be Used at Fort Riley Cost $175 Each. Battle flags at $175 apiece have been purchased for the two regiments of the Kansas National Guard, and will be used by them at the Fort Riley encampment beginning August 10. Each regiment will get two flags. One is the regulation United States flag In silk, heavtty fringled with yel low'silk. The other Is a splendid dark blue silk flag, on which is embroidered in close imitation of natural colors, the American eagle. The eagle Is large and covers the whole flag. It Is so embroidered that it looks the same on both sides. Below the eagle Is the Inscription "First regiment, K. N. G." The Second regiment flags differ only in the necessary change in Inscription on the regimental flag. NO DIFFERENCE TO CONVICT. To mMcXeal's Joke In Trying to Get a Man Out of Penitentiary. Tom McNeal is very much interested In getting a pardon for a certain man in the penitentiary. Today when Gov ernor Hoch came back to Topeka, Mr. McNeal renewed his petition. "I don't see how I can do anything for your man." said the governor. Then Mr. McNeal went on to explain more fully and particularly on what ground it would be proper for the gov ernor to extend his executive clemency. "Well, on that theory." said the gov ernor, "I suppose I might be able to do something." "I don't think It would make a bit of difference to my man, governor." said McNeal quickly, "on what theory he gets the pardon." Tlie Kalamazoo Meeting Opens. Kalamazoo, Mich.. Aug. 4. The de feat of Jack Teyburn by Sterling Mc Klnney Monday afternoon in the 2:09 trot was the feature of the opening day of Kalamazoo's first meeting as a member of the Garnd Trotting circuit. The meeting is a combination of the Great Western and Grand circuit. Tapke to Meet Willie Lewis. New York. Aug. 4. Billy Papke, the western cyclone middleweight is here to engage in one bout and will then go to Boston, where he has been matched to meet Willie Lewis, for 12 rounds at the Armory Athletic association, on the night of August lL HOCH TOJCEEP ON Offered Lecture Contract for the V Tear 1909. Does Not Say Whether He Will Accept. HE LOST HIS VOTE. Hid Not Go to Marion to Ex press His Preferences. Says He Has Been Told Bristow Will Win. "Bristow is going to win, Isn't he?" said Governor Hoch this morning. "The people I have talked to seem to think so." Governor Hoch received this Impres sion of the senatorial fight when he came back to Topeka today from a lecturing tour in Illinois. Governor Hoch would not express any idea on the governorship contest. "After today," said the governor, "Mr. Stubbs and Mr. Leland and Mr. Long and Mr. Bristow and all the rest should forget everything except that they are Republicans. They should forget all these personal animosities which have arisen during the cam paign, and get together for the good of the party in November. It's too bafl that candidates can not go. through a campaign for the nomination without engaging in personalities. There has been a good deal of bitter personality in this campaign. That is the chief difficulty with the primary election law. But we must get together as Republi cans as soon as it is over, regardless of who wins." Governor Hoch will not be able to vote at the primary election. He didl not expect to ne in tne state today. Dut as he happened to have, a day's layoff, decided to spend it here. But he did not have time to go home to Marion to cast his ballot. So successful has Governor Hoch been In his lecture work that he has received from the Redpath Lyceum bu reau an invitation to make a contract for the whole of 1909, after he leaves the office of governor. This is espec ially gratifying to the governor, be cause it means that he had "made good" as a lecturer, regardless of the fact that he has held the high office of governor of a state. It is likely that after leaving the office of governor. "Mr. Hoch will devote most of his time to the lecture platform. Governor Hoch will leave this even ing for Liberty, "Mb., where he Is to speak tomorrow. He then goes up into Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska for a two weeks' tour. This tour will Just about finish his Chautauqua work for this summer. "I have been traveling around a great deal with Opie Read this sum mer," said Governor Hoch. "I have learned to like him very much. He cut out the liquor several years ago, and I know of no more lovable, big-hearted man anywhere. At one place they had a lot of children all dressed up like Indians. We saw one little girl crying bitterly about something. Read step ped up to her and asked what was tne matter. 'I wanted to be an Indian, like the rest of them,' sobbed the little girl, 'but I haven't got any money to buy those Indian clothes.' How much does it cost?" asked Read. 'Two dollars,' said the little girl. Well, we can fix that all right, said Read, and he handed the little girl the money. Read said 'It was worth $25 to him any day to see a child as happy as that one was after she got on her Indian clothes. "Last week in Nebraska I was enter tained very handsomely at' Broken Bow. I very foolishly consented to take a 14 mile automobile ride just at the conclusion of my address in th. afternoon, when I was soaked with perspiration. The result was I took a bad cold, and' my voice was almost gone. I rushed to Omaha, and a throat specialist jabbed around In my throat, gave me a prescription, and charged me six dollars. It didn't do much good, but I went to my next date, hop ing that It would be better. But It was still In very bad shape, and I didn't know what I would do. I met an old Baptist preacher, and he said to me.'Why, I can fix you up all right. He got some honey, and squeezed into It an equal quantity of lemon Juice. Then he heated it up together, and told me to take some. In half an hour my throat was clear, and I haven't been troubled any since. That is something worth knowing, and I don't charge six dollars for the information, either. Candidate by Proxy. Seattle. Wash..

Now Tnrlc An First prices Of Stocks were lower than laat night for the most prominent Issues, but there were gains amongst some of the less' important stocks. .Business was. in only.' moderate volume. Indications of a good absorption of the United States Steel and Hill stocks caused the traders to purchase other stocks, al though the rise was very uneven. The demand shifted to new quarters Including the higher priced dividend pay ing railroad stocks. Absorption of the united States Steel stocks continued on a large scale, the preferred stock touching llttfcc. A few of the prominent trading stocks still lagged.- notably Amalgamated Copper. Reading rose 1 points and Un ion Pacific touched 156. Advances of a point were numerous in active stocks. Bonds were firm. 'The rise In prices was carried slightly further before the realizations became7 heavy enough to stop the advance. The' reactions, however, were very light and trading became dull on the setback. Reading and American Locomotive pre--ferred got up 2 points. Except for the continued demand for the United States Steel stocks which ad vanced the common to 464 and the pre ferred to 111H, there was little of Interest to the afternoon tnar7!""t.

Boy of 16 Dies After .Nine Days of Suffering:. New York, Aug. 4. William Blent. 16 years old, died in the Harlem hos pital last evening and the surgeons, although somewhat reticent about the case, admit that the boy died from the effects of a bite of a 'mysterious insect. Young Blenx, according to the hos pital doctors, was bitten on the upper lip nine days ago but what sort of an Insect was responsible the physicians have not discovered. A day or two after the youth was bitten his Hp commenced to swell and finally it as sumed alarming proportions. Sunday young Bienz grew rapidly worse and towards night lapsed into uncon sciousness. He was then removed to the hospital. An incision -was made in .Young Bienz's lip for. the purpose of reliev ing the pressure of the pus formation. The swelling, however, continued un abated and the youth -remained in a semi-conscious state until he died About nine days ago the city was visited by swarms of mosquitoes and several of the doctors thought that the bite on. Young Biens's lip might nave Deen caused by one of them. The case Is one for the Investiga tion of the coroner's office. 9F CA A95S55S5SS5" For County Commissioner.

The child-wife was so desperately tired of life without her Infant that she tried suicide In three different ways before she succeeded in ending her existence. First she soaked a bundle of sulphur matches In a glass of water and then drank the mixture. Next she swal lowed a bottle of cheap stuff used In cleaning clothing. Finding these of no avail, the woman shot herself in the breast with her husband's pistol, ran down to the front steps and died there.

The use of the phonograph by Can didate Taft as a means for the dis semination of his speeches as reported in the dispatches from Hot Springs. Va., "excited the liveliest Interest of William J. Bryan, so much so that he gave out the following statement in re gard to it: The Republican papers have been making fun of me for using the phon ograph as a means of reaching the public, but since the Republican can didate has followed the example I pre sume that the critistsm will cease and that this will now be regarded as a dignified method of discussing public questions. It looks as If the Demo crats were going to have a hard time this year protecting their patents from infringement. The Republicans seem bent upon imitating not only our platform, but our campaign methods. Th'ere.. is, however, some advantage In the fact that we are setting the pattern this year." Among Mr. Bryan's early callers was Edgar C. Schmidt, of Dayton, O.. who called at the request of Harvey C. Garber, national committeeman from Ohio In reference to a plan to reach the voters In the doubtful states with a series of typewritten letters. Mr. Bryan thought well of the propo sition and Mr. Schmidt left today for Chicago, where he will meet Norman E. Mack, chairman of the national Democratic committee and talk the matter over with him.

Five hundred dol lars Is all that is needed to save the life of a despairing man the father of eight children. unless that sum Is forthcoming, and he promises to repay It at the rate of $5 a week, he threatens to take his life. Seemingly, he is in deadly earnest. The money is needed to repay his em ployers a sum that he says he lost four months ago. He has not told them of the loss, and has reached the conclu sion that a suicide's fate Is the only thing that remains to him. The money that he lost amounted to less than $300, but he borrowed funds at high rates to keep the matter quiet and It now amounts to $500. The identity of this man is not dis closed for obvious reasons, but It be came known through an advertisement that he inserted In a morning; newspa per, as follows: "Personal Father of 8 children to be not obliged to kill himself needs $500, giving it back $5 weekly. Sure." An investigation developed that the children are all young, except a IS year old boy, who adds his-salary of $4 a week to the support of the family. The wife, in ignorance of the cause of her husband's trouble, but knowing that he is in desperate need of money, goes out to work by the day..

Last year's levy was 2-0 mills, and the fact that the new levy will raise S26S, 066.97 as against $201,173.14 raised by the 20 mill levy, is due, to. the differ ence in valuation under the new tax laws.

The levy adopted is divided thus: For general support of schools, 4 7-10 mills, buildings and repairs, 8-10 of one mill. Interest, 6-10 mill. Total. 6 mills.

On" motion of Superintendent Whittemore. the date of opening the schools was changed from September 8 to September 15. This change has been under contemplation for some time. September 8 is In state fair week, and it is probable that the change will be made permanent, mak ing the opening of the fall term a week later.'

Before I heard of Cuti cura, I used to try- almost everything, but they failed. Then my mother recommended the Cutioura Remedies. I washed my children's heads with Cuti cura Soap and then applied the wonder ful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cutioura Soap and Cuti cura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. I am using the Cutioura Remedies yet when ever any of my family have any sores. I oan never recommend Cuticura suffi ciently it is indispensable in every home. I cannot find its equal.

He will devote his remain ing years to investigate anything that strikes his fancy, without regard to its finacial productiveness.

Chemistry was the first science to captivate his wonderful intellect but -he has never had a chance to dig as deep Into Its myster ies as he wanted to. Now, he proposes to give himself the chance. Moreover, he Is going to take life more easily. He has promised his family and his friends to give up slaving night and day, Sundays and holidays In his laboratory. Not only that, but he la going to take Jaunts about and see something of the rest of the world. He has bought himself a place in Florida where he will spend a couple of months in the late winter and early spring next year. Toward the end of this month he is going with his wife on a month's trip to the Pacific coast. He will stay more than a month If the fancy strikes him. Yesterday. Instead of being in his laboratory he was funmaklng with some friends down on Long Island, where he went Friday to spend three days. Perhaps he will be back in Llewellyn today but It is not certain.
