COVERS A WIDE AREA Reported as Far West as Garden City. IT a att At Abilene. Salina. Ella worth and Hutchinson Unheralded, unannounced and con trarv to the forecast sent out by th government weather bureau, rain be (an to fall In Topeka shortly after 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon and con tlnued throughout the afternoon and night and well Into the morning hours today. The precipitation in TopeKa mounted to 4 44 inches. With but two exceptions the rainfall Is the heaviest that has ever been re corded in Topeka. On the second day of August. 1903, and In September in 1905 the precipitation amounted to 4.59 Inches, the record in the history of the Topeka weather station and at that the rainfall during the past 24 hours is but a few hundredths of an Inch less than on these occasions At 2 o'clock Thursday the mercury recorded 93 degrees and hardly a breath or air wu stirring. There were a few clouds in the sky but nothing to indi cate the deluge which began half an hour later. Between 2 and 3 o'clock the mercury dropped from 93 to 69 de grees, a fall of 24 degrees in less man an hour. The change is a welcome one but the rain is all the more welcome because it came Just In the nick of time to save the late corn, much of which was nlanted after the flood period in June. The excessively hot weather of the past three or four weeks has dried out the ground to such an extent that some or the corn had commenced to suffer from the lack of moisture. Thursday's storm developed rapidly and at 7 o'clock in the morning when the reports from which the forecast for the 24 hours were receivea mere was nothing to indicate a storm of so gen rniia nronnrtions. The weather de partment anticipated the possibility of local showers but a general rain was nnt antlnlnated. Reports received indicate that the storm has been genral at least in the eastern two-thirds or the state ana (hut scattering showers have visited nearlv every section. The rainfall in the south and extreme eastern portion c-f the state has been unusually heavy and has measured from two to four and one-half Inches, Reports received this morning over the wires of the Bell Telephone com pany indicate that rains have fallen at the following points in me tuit. aa.

Charles Daniel Huston, one of the four commissioners, who administrate the civic affairs of Cedar Rapids, la.. na rormerlv mayor or that city tor four years before the commission sys tem had been adopted, came to the ity hall this morning for information concerning the municipal asphalt re pair plant. The commission svstem is a new thing with us." said Mr. Huston, who wears a small gold star upon which Is fmblazoned in black enamel letters, "Commissioner. Cedar Raptds." "We have only had it since April. There are Just two cities In the state that are governed in that way. Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. There wasn't any great demand for a commission system. It carried by only 33 votes, but it is a good thing: it keeps out politics. We have not had the need for the com mission plan as some places- we have had good administrations and if I do say it. I think that the city was as well off under my administration as it is now with a commission. There are four commissioners under our plan. I have charge of the department of streets and public works. "We purchased the waterworks plant recently and it has proved a great success. We have extended the mains, reduced the rates and increased the value of the plant by $1000.000 and the plant Is making us $5,000 each quarter. It has proved a great suc cess." Mr. Huston Is in the printing busi ness and formerly was a newspaper publisher. In addition to his other Interests he Is registrar for the Iowa consistory No. 2 of the Masonic bodies. THE NEW TAX LEVY Proposed to Make It Seren and Nine-Tenths Mills. Last Year the Basis Was Nine teen Mill. IT WILL RAISE MORE. Proposed to Pay Off a $79,000 Bond Issue. How the Money Is to Be tribnted. Dis The new tax levy for the city seven and nine-tenths mills. Putting the tax levy of the city at seven and nine tenths mills the creation of a sinking fund retiring $79,000 of refunding bonds maturing in 1910 wil be accomplished and the hydrant rental will be In creased to $44,000, resulting In reduced water rates. This morning Mayor Wm. Green and Councilman Horn, chairman of the ways and means com mittee of the city council, drafted a schedule for the new tax levy. n tne levy meets the approval of the taxpayers of the city it will be adopted by the council. For city purposes the levy will raise a revenue of $350,760 using as a basis a valuation or $44,400,000. Last year the levy was nineteen mills and nine-tenths on a valuation of about $12,500,000 and returned a reve nue of $247,971.01. The new proposed levy means an increase for meeting tha demands made by the various funds of tlU3,000. I want to place this before the city and see what they think of it," said Mayor Wm. Green. "We can make the levy 7 mills by not attempting to re tire the $79,000 issue when it matures In July of 1910 but In that case we would nave to refund the issue again and continue paying out interest. It's good business to retire the issue. Though It hits me harder I think It is the thing to do," said Councilman Horn. "I pay considerable money out for taxes but it is economy to save the city this interest on this bond Issue. The issue has been refunded once and to refund it again is lust like con tinuing to renew a note when by prae ticing economy you might save suf ficlent money to pay the note Off. I don't think the schedule will be sub mitted to the council Monday evening, there is no particular hurry about it and we can let it go to some later date." The $79,000 bond Issue bears 6 per cent nterest and it Is proposed that with the plans as laid a fund can be created which will in two years pay-off the principal. This is the proposed schedule Mills. General revenue fund General Imp. fund....

This may occasion some protest from the board of park commissioners wno added on one more park to the num ber already under care. The waterworks fund is ma terially increased, about $28,000. The reason for this has already been ex nlnined in the action taken by the council Monday evening on petition of the board of waterworks commission ers. The latter contended that many rjroperty owners were escaping the just burden of taxation for fire pro tection and that this burden was be ing borne by consumers of city water who had to pay a higher rate than they should. The Intention is to re duce the rates to the consumers proportionately, $28,000. The fund for Judgments is in creased. This was necessary because the fund Is depleted. It is from this source that Judgments against the city are paid. The fund to pay the principal of Improvement bonds has been ln ceased over $22,000. An error crept into the calculations last year when the levy was made and in the strenu ous endeavor to cut down the tax lew some close figuring was done. The combination resulted in the discovery later that this fund to pay off the principal of the improvement bonds was not ample enough by $20,000 and this error is corrected In this year's levy. No increase is made In the interest for the improvement bonds. No sinking fund existed last year but under the plan proposed of wip ing out $79,000 of indebtedness It is added this year. The County Levy. The Shawnee county commissioners have saved the taxpayers the trifling sum of $30,592.48 this year, or at least they have reduced the amount to be raised on the 1908 levy this sum less than the levy of 1907. The levy Is:, General revenue, 13 mills: bonded In terest and sinking fund, 10 mills; per manent roads, 1 mill; state tax, 9 mills, a total of 33 mills levy. This levy will raise: For general revenue, $93. 667.68; for bonded interest and sinking fund. $72,052.06; for permanent roads. $7,205.20; for state tax, $64,846.86. A total of $237,771.80. In 1907- it was necessary to raise $268,364.28. Weather Indications. Chicago, Aug. 7. Forecast for Kan sas: Partly cloudy and possibly local showers tonight or Saturday; cooler to night in southeast portion.

Long secured five representatives to Bristow s 7. But the Fifth is a house men is always divided against itself. Indications are now that the state senate will be equally divided between Long and Bristow. Bristow has 19 votes sure, and there are four districts where the vote is very, close and the results are not definite-.. The chances are, however, that Bristow will not get more than one vote out of the four, and this would give each candidate 20 votes In the senate.

Count Zeppelin has given or ders that work on the construction of a new airship be begun. In fact he ha3 about decided to build two at the same time, each on a different model. The new ships will show many changes suggested by a study of the accident of two days ago and other experiences of the past. Private Individuals have already placed the sum of $75,000 to the credit of Count Zeppelin for his new' enter prise. The count Is especially gratified at the receipt of a hearty message of sympathy from the headquarters of the British balloon corps at Farn borough. Troops Reach Fort Riley. Junction City.

PLANS FOR FLEET American Battleships Expected at Auckland, Sunday. fcntertainuient Will Begin Promptly Monday Morning. DECORATIVE SCHEME IncIndesArch.es at City Entrance and Military Hall. Visitors Will Be Shown Boiling Springs and Geysers. Auckland, N. Z.t Aug. 7. The American fleet on its arrival in Auck land harbor will anchor In two lines abreast of the city, the first having for its center the Australian flagship Powerful and her consorts the En counter and Pioneer. Already the city of Auckland is dec orated with flags and interest in the visit of the warships is great. Parlia ment today adjourned for a week that members might devote themselves to entertainment of the visitors. Only two members, both Maoris, objected to the adjourning. They explained that the Maoris were In no way enthusiastic over the much heralded arrival or the fleet, because of the attitude of the Americans on the color question. The premier. Sir Joseph Edward, predicted such speeches and declared that it was only a handful of extremists, who had objected. The welcome to the fleet, the premier said, would be practically unanimous. On Sunday, the day scheduled for the arrival of the fleet, there will be no public display but official visits will be exchanged. On Monday the ad miral and his officers will land at Queen street wharf, a fine new quay built of Ferro concrete being part of a new harbor scheme to cost 1,500, 000 pounds. On the shore end of the wharf, which is almost In alignment with Queen street, the main thoroughfare, will be erected a dais upon which the visitors will be for mally welcomed by the prime minis ter, Sir Joseph Ward, the other mem bers of the cabinet and representa tives of the various towns, boroughs and country districts of the dominion. The prime minister on behalf of the government and people of New Zealand will welcome the American visitors. The prime minister will make presentations to President Roosevelt and Admiral Sperry on be half of the government and the peo ple of the dominion. A procession will be formed, the route being through Queen street to the military hall in Wellesley street. Immediately behind the latter is Albert Park, the municipal buildings and the art gal ley, the latter containing tne nneet collections of books, pictures and art treasures or me aomiaran. -Adlacent to Albert Park, overlook ing-the city, Is the residence of the governor. Lord Plunkit Queen street, the main artery of the city, leading from, the port Is wide and has a. fine- clean surface, of asphalt. It contains the principal places of busi ness. the banks, etc.. including the office of the American consul general. Scheme of Decoration. The scheme of decoration Includes two arches, one at the extrance to the city and the other in front of the military halL On the arrival of the visitors at the military hall they will he accorded a civic welcome by the mayor. Arthur Myers, on behalf of the citizens of Aukland. An ad dress will be presented accompanied by an artistic souvenir portfolio to be presented to the admiral. The prin cipal officials will lunch with the mayor at his home, while the re mainder of the officers of the landing party will lunch at the Northern club and the Auckland club. The military review will be held on the Dominion cricket grounds, a beautiful spot on the eastern side of the. city. On Wednesday there will be races at Ellerslie, about five miles from the town and the finest race course In New Zealand. Rotorua, to which a large party will proceed on Wednesday Is 171 miles frcm Auckland by rail and the Jour ney will be made in the afternoon so that the American visitors will spend only a couple of hours at the races, Rotorua Is the township of the Ther mal district beginning at Ohinemutu and extending to Taupo in the heart of th North island. On Thursday morning, the beautiful bath house at Rotorua will be opened, ana in con nection with this function there will be a great Maori gathering, Maori war dances, etc. The Boiling Springs. Whackera, about a mile from the township by road comprises about two square miles of boiling springs, gey sers and medicinal baths. Some of the geysers play frequently and no doubt one or two of the larger geysers will be induced to perform by the ad mlnstration of a bar of soap. This is not good for the geyser's health but it is resorted to on such great occasions as the present. Then the sight is a magnificent one, a huge volume of water ascending some 60 feet or more and descending like a cataract, boil ing and hissing into the bowels of the earth. Among other sights to which the visitors will be treated will be Ttkit ere, which is the nearest conceivable approach to the infernal regions. Further afield are Waimunga, which, a very few years ago, was one of the most tremendous geysers in the world, the pressure of water and the explo sions being almost volcanic In their in tensity. There is now only an awe some cavity in the earth's crust sur rounded by boiling springs and rush ing torrents. In close proximity is Mount Tara wera, which was In eruption some 15 years ago and laid desolate the sur rounding villages. In the mountain's side is an immense gap, which is one of the sights pointed out to the tour its. There are several great lakes here abouts over which the visitors will be ferried In gasoline launches. Some of the lakes are cold, but one of them is quite hot, the water varying In the loveliest shades. Wairakel, which is the objective of a more distant excursion, is fifty miles south of Rotorua and Its thermal ac tivity provides one of the finest sights of New Zealand. Tampo, six miles from Wairakel, Is on the lake of the same name and haa two fine sanltoria. FRIDAY EVENING. The trips for the men will Include tne lovely Islands of the gulf udoh which the city of Auckland stands and trips by electric car and by train around the picturesque environs of the city itself, the parks, etc. Supply Ship Arrive. Auckland, N. Z., Aug. 7. The sup ply ship Culgo, attached to the Atlan tic fleet from Honolulu, July 21, ar rived here this evening. She received this morning the following wireless communication from the fleet: "Yesterday and today, August 6 and 7, there was a fresh breeze to moder ate gale, with a rough sea. This morning the weather was the heaviest encountered since leaving Hampton Roads. The shlDS are Ditching heav ily, spars were knocked down at. 8 a. m. We will increase our speed to ii knots and expect -to reach Auck land on schedule time. There will be no' fleet evolutions today on account of the weather. The vessels keen their formation and distance easily. The position of the fleet at 8 o'clock last night. August 6, 'was 31.51 south latitude and 178 east longitude. Dis tance from Auckland 360 miles." 110 RATES FOR BRYAN. Railroads Refuse Concession for Notl- fication Day at Llneoln. Fairview, Lincoln. Neb.. Aug. 7. Candidate William J.' Bryan and Na tional Chairman Norman E. Mack were in conference today over the long dis tance telephone. Mr. Mack arrived In Chicago this morning and at once got into communication with Fairview. While the subjects discussed were not disclosed by Mr. Bryan, it is under stood that the conversation had to do, among other things, with the refusal of the Western Traffic association to make special rates to Lincoln upon the occasion of the notification August 12. Although the action of the railways will probably prevent a number of per sons from coming to Lincoln to wit ness the notification ceremonies, the local committee on arrangements of which Mayor Brown is the chairman, is going steadily on with the prepara tions for the event. Mr. Bryan is availing himself of the cool weather by utilizing every spare moment of his time in preparing the several set speeches, which he will make this month. The one on the tariff at Des Moines is expected to be an exhaustive treatment of the sub ject and will be one of the most im portant of his utterances during the campaign. An Incident a little out of the ordi nary occurred at Fairview, shortly af ter noon. A full brass band from St. Joseph, Mo., appeared at the. Bryan home and serenaded the Democratic nominee. Mr. Bryan at the time was in conference with former Senator R. F, Pettigrew, of South Dakota, but their conference was suspended in order that they might hear the music. Both men came out on the front steps barehead ed and liberally applauded each selec tion. By way of appreciation of their visit Mr. Bryan presented the mem' bers of the band with a box of cigars. The story or now -certain delegates to tne independence league conven tion recently held in Chicago, includ ing himself, were thrown out of the chamber for openly supporting Bryan, was told to -the Democratic candidate by M. E. Gibson, who was a delegate from Portland,' Ore.' Mr. Gibson declared that his friendship for Bryan was known at the time he was named for a seat in the conven tion. Fifteen years ago he repre sented the Eighteenth district in con gress as a Republican, but in 1896 he allied himself with the Democrats and has remained in the party ever since. Mr. Gibson brought with him a letter from Cyrus D. Davis of Waterville, Me., who two years ago, was the Democratic" candidate for govenor of that state In which it was stated that Maine would go Demo cratic by 10,000 majority. "HANG" SENTENCE. Frank Schneck and MoUie Stewart Last to Be Sentenced. On June 1, the state of Kansas for mally abandoned the old farce of sentencing convicted murders to be hanged. On June 3, in the district court of Franklin county, Frank Schneck and Mollie Stewart were sentenoed -to death for the murder of Schneck's wife. The question of whether the district court had a right to Impose the death sentence was today checked up to Governor Hoch and Attorney General Jackson for settlement. Mr. Jackson holds that it was proper for the district Judge to sen tence Schneck and Mrs. Stewart to death, as the crime for which they were being punished was committed before the repeal of the laws provid ing for capital punishment took ef fect. The hang sentence against these two convicted murderers will there fore stand. They are probably the last people in the state to be sentenc ed to death. Nevertheless, the "hang" sentence will not be carried out. It never Is. No execution can take place until the governor signs the death warrant, and no such death warrant has been signed. FOUND ALL THE PIECES. Arms and Right Foot of Murdered Boy Added to Coll eet ion. Chicago. Aug. 7.

I western Gossip WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Enid at Topeka. Joplin at Wichita. Springfield at Hutchinson. Oklahoma City at Webb City. There was no game yesterday on account of excessive moisture. A few faithful fans went out to the park and watched Manager Cooley dish out rain checks. Next time Oklahoma comes here there will be five battles and they will be played In three days. August 28, 28, SO. How is this for nerve. Just before the game yesterday Shively wired Cooley that there would be no game unless Setley umpired. Shively added that he would stand for bo player umpires and that If players or any one other than Setley should officiate, the game would be thrown out. This is about the limit, but still It will occasion no surprise among the fans who have learned to expect Shlvely's narpoan to be thrust into cooley on the least possible pretext. If Cooley wins the pennant, he will have to beat seven other teams and Shively. President Baker of the Joplin team is planning to get Dick Bayless to play the last three weeks of the season with the Miners. Bayless has been playing with the Dayton team In the Central league this season. And he has been playing a great game. Ru mor has It that he has been sold to Cincinnati. Baker has asked Shively for permission to play Bayless. and of course It will be granted. Baker you know doesnt belong to the To peka team and as a result can ask favors wit hthe expectation of having nis wisnes compuea wun, Holllngsworth won a game which he pitched for the Mets at Webb City after his ownership by the Topeka team was substantiated. Dr. Shively has thus far refused to throw the game out. Had Topeka pulled off a similar stunt the game would have gone out or. me won column. Yhe work of Bill Rapps around the initial station has surprised many of his friends around the circuit. Rapps Is putting, up a good game for the Mets and is hitting about as con slstently as any of the players. Rapps won his reputation In the outfield, but used to loaf occasionally. He has shown the proper spirit all season. There Is only one fault that can be found with Thirdbaseman Emory of the Mets and that is that he Is afraid of the runner. Frequently he fails to tag the runner with the ball when the play is close, Just on this account. Frank Genins who will be remem bered as the leading crab en the Hutchinson .team of two seasons ago, has been having hard luek this sea son. He has been manager of the Dubuque team in the Three Eye league and succeeded in getting his team on the top of the pennant lad der. Then he Injured his foot about six weeks ago and hasn t been able to play since. He may not be back again this season. The Duburque management has cast him adrift on account of financial considerations. The Webb City-Oklahoma City games which were to have opened in Webb City tomorrow have been trans ferred to Oklahoma City. Webb City isn't drawing enough to keep up ex penses and Milton Is forced to trans fer some of his games in order to make expenses. Larry has been criticised for turning loose some good players but the receipts of the team on the home grounds have made it necessary to retrench in the salaries. Oklahoma City and Hutchinson fans have both guaranteed their players a thousand dollars bonus at the end of the season if they win the pennant. A similar movement la on foot in Wichita. Are Topeka fans asleep 7 If sporting editors wish to clip items from this column for their sporting page the editor has no ob jections. But ne hates to see the Items credited to other papers. Robert Kennedy, the Enid out fielder formerly with Topeka, has been here for several days. He was recently injured In a game at Joplin by sliding into second. .He has a stiff ankle.

Attell and Moran can Not Agree on tbe Third Man. San Francisco. Aug. 7. The boxing match between Attell and Moran is on tha noint of collapse over referees. As a result of several hours' discus sion of the referee question, on which Attell held out for Jack Welch and no one else, while Owen Moran sug gested Billy Roche, Eddie Smith and Phil Wand, it was finally decided .to postpone definite action until one week from tonight. Coffroth issued an ulti matum to the effect that If Attell and Moran were unable to agree on a referee at that time he would call oft the match and arrange one between Eddie Hanlon and Moran for iabor day. It does not look as if the men will come to an agreement. For. some reason Attell does not seem eager to go oa with Moran.

"CORXER" IX AI1MY COTHrjG. Is Charged In Complaint of Western Manufacturers. Chicago, Aug. 7. Manufacturers of the west have found new ammuni tion in their fight against the meth ods employed by the war department In awarding contracts for army cloth ing. Following its protest last month against the action of the department in constituting a central ooara or um pires at- Philadelphia to pass upon all bids the Illinois manufacturers asso ciation has registered a new com plaint. It is based on the new department regulation that all bidders for con tracts to make army clothing shall de posit with the central board a special twenty yard sample. The protest, which is incorporated in a letter sent by Secretary John M. Glenn of the association to Secretary of War Wright, is couched in vigorous terms. The department is criticised severe ly for its alleged discrimination against certain bidders. Another feature of the protest is the claim that the new regulation, practi cally is equivalent to the establish ment of a "corner" in the making of army clothing, as the expense of making the sample is prohibitive to most manufacturers. This, it is claimed, will result in the placing of the contract in the hands of one manufacturer. In the western manufacturers' first protest against the creation of the Philadelphia board, it was claimed that the eastern bidders thus were given a big tactical advantage over western manufacturers. It was contended that it was a hard ship for middle western companies to submit samples, so far from their base. Insinuations also were made to the effect that the war department de liberately was arranging, matters so eastern firms would get all the big contracts. Xev- Charters Granted.

Low Water Brings Insolvency. Scranton, Pa'., Aug. 7.

The court today appointed a receiver. TO KEEP COOL eat the kind of ,food which gives strength but does not heat the body. Grape-Nuts is the ideal food for hot weather "There's a Reason" San Francisco, Aug. 7. "A more ra tional feeling prevails throughout the country in the matter of financial con ditions," said Edward H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, while discussing the question of prosperity and other subjects of interest to the people at large. "I feel that there is much im provement in the situation. With the crops growing and those already gath ered the production in the aggregate will be of greater magnitude and value this year. This is the basis of pros perity. When the farmers sell their crops they will be in the markets to buy and thus help the merchants and manufacturers. "It is necessary for the railroad cor porations to have credit with which to raise funds to put their roads on a proper basis and have them reach the highest state of efficiency. As I wrote to President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. I favored a regulated publicity but feel that the railroads m have protection. Forced competition by leg islation is destructive and not benen cjal. "Regarding the ruling of the inter state commerce commission that the railroads and transpacific steamship lines must publish their rates, I feel that the situation is a serious one. The steamship companies have never asked the government for a subsidy or as sistance in any manner. The latter statement was made by Harriman in reply to a query as to whether he did not -feel the new regu lation regarding the publication of rates would favor the steamship lines operating via the Sues canal to the in Jury of the transpacific companies. Asked if he felt the yodng man. of today has a better opportunity for ad vancement than he had 40 years ago, Harriman replied that his chances were much better owing to improved facili ties in almost every direction. Replying to a query as to the basis of his own success, the railroad official said "he accounted for it by a per sistency and determination to do the thing that is undertaken the best way that it can be done. Harriman declined to discuss politi cal matters, the injunction planks of the political, parties or the decision of Judge Crosscut). He said that he will be on the Pa cific coast for about a montb and leaves tonight for Pelican Bay Lodge on Kle math lake. In the south part of Ore gon. While on the coast Harriman will de vote some attention to projected im provements. Regarding the proposed tunnel through the Sierras. Harriman said the project had reached the prac 1 tical stage, but the actual undertaking of the work was a matter of the fu ture. The question of finance was the most' important in connection with the work. He spoke of the improved facili ties for handling trains over the steep grades and remarked that today he counted 46 fruit cars in one freight train as he neared Sacramento.

Addressing the Lin-' coin Temperance Chautauqua at Aus-, tin, John A. Nichols, of Boston, said he. favored the man who gets on an all night drunk occasionally to the one who takes a nip every day. "If I wanted to drink," said Mr. Nichols, "I would get good and soused and then cut It out for a month. It is not nearly so bad to roll in the gutter as it is to take a nip every now and then. A man's physique can't stand either one, especially the latter. "Three persons suffer for every one who takes a drink, and he should be made to abstain not only for the self inflicted Injuries, but for the injuries he inflicts on Innocent persons." A Death Record. In "La Dame aux Camelias" the other day at the Kennlngton theater. London, the divine Sarah "died" for the fifteen thousandth time. Her stage suicides by poison total up. roughly, to 10,000. She has Jumped into the scenic artists' Seine over 7.000 times. She has sent over B.00O bullets into her head from a revolver, and plunged the same number of dag gers into her bodice. At the reception a lady asked her if she really kept a coffin at her house in Paris. "Certain ly." said Sarah, with a smile; "and so would you, if, you were the morgue's most constant customer."

Can anyone think that Mr. Bryan did not take advantage of the opportunity to work In a few hand shakes of the vote-getting variety? He wouldn't be much in the way of presi dential timber if he did not. Genuine regret will be expressed by everybody at the tragic end that came to Count Zeppelin's air ship. He has the consolation, however, of having made one of the greatest, and probably the greatest when all things are taken Into consideration, aerial flight that has ever been accomplished by an air craft which was under the absolute control of man. Walter Wellman, who Is a self-confessed expert In a variety of things in cluding analytical politics, says that the airship he is having built for his next attempt to sail to the North Pole, would be quite capable of traveling through the air from New Tork to Buffalo, Detroit, or even Chicago. That's not so important as is the ques tion as to whether or not it will be able to go to the North Pole and back. That the people of Shawnee county think mighty well of their treasurer, Stanley Medlicott, is evidenced by the primary returns which show that he re ceived the greatest vote given to any candidate in Shawnee county. Mr. Medlicott also had the distinction of leading the Republican county ticket at the general election in 1906. His many friends are quite as proud of his record as he ought to be. Any doubt that may have existed as to the Sultan of Turkey being a care ful, cautious individual as well as a crafty one has been dispelled by the results of his attempted assassination at the hands of a servant who tried to carve his heart out with a knife. The wearer of the royal fez had on his trusty shirt of mall which it seems he wears at all times for Just such emer gencies and it did all that was expected of It. In the death of William B. Allison, United States senator, and who has Dean lamiuariy Known lor years as "the grand old man of Iowa," the country loses not only the oldest mem ber of the United States senate in years of continuous service, but also one of the most valuable national leg islators who has ever sat In the halls of congress. The gap, caused by his removal from the greatest deliberative body in the world, will be a hard one to fill. Regardless of any qualifications he may have for the place, the defeat of R, WlnQeld Eaton, chief of police, 'at the primaries in his candidacy for Re' publican county committeeman from the fourth precinct of the Fourth ward was proper and a just rebuke to him for his political activities. It was de cidedly improper and unbecoming for Mr. Eaton, holding the position that he does as head of the city's police force, to actively engage In politics even in his own behalf. No porch campaign for .Mr. Bryan. He's planning several tours which will take him pretty well over the country and be proposes to deliver speeches in most of the principal cities of tha land. It's not likely that he will neglect the cross-roads while passing along on his way. It's a good thing, also, not only for Mr. Bryan but for the other presi dential candidates, that talk is cheap. If It wasn't, It's hardly possible that any of the parties could gather in suf ficient funds to carry on their cam- CONDITIONS IMPROVING. The monthly total payments through the banks of the country for July has exceeded the billion dollar mark which Is an approach to the for mer high figures. Commercial de faults of the past week have fallen below those reported a year ago both in numbers and liability. Such Is the finding of the leading trades and fin ancial reviews. It also appears that production In leading Industries is steadily on the rise and preparations axe Increasing for more machinery and for the em ployment of more labor. The outlook for manufactures is thus Improving constantly. On the agricultural side the crops continue to present an encouraging feature. Harvesting is earlier than was looked for and the yield Is com paring favorably with that ot former years. The high prices are not only satisfactory to farmers but they are encouraging to other lines of invest ment and trade. A fair yield of all cereals is assured with prices above the average of recent years. The new demands ire especially strong in Iron, steel, and lumber. Per mits for the month of July for busi ness structures and improvements are approaching In total value the high mark of 1907, and In some localities like Topeka are far and away ahead of what they were a year ago. This has made an Increased demand for plumbing and sanitary supplies. Unquestionably the building indus try is taking advantage of the more favorable conditions as to cost of ma terial and labor and is regaining Its former activity. Nothing better il lustrates the satisfactory conditions generally than the projecting of Im provements of this character. It starts a movement of-capital and labor that gives thrift for the present and hope for the future. Where building goes forward It may be assumed that pret ty much all else is moving in har mony. And that's just what's hap pening In Topeka though many local ities in the country are not quite so fortunate. The Industrial stocks are advancing, less through speculation and more up on the basis of increased demand and activity in the business they repre sent. The whole list of railroad and other legitimate securities is on the up grade without the feverish and uncer tain feeling that has characterized the booms of the past. The ground is being gained steadily and there is ev ery reason to believe that it will be held. These are some of the substantial evidences of commercial and trade ad vancement. They are of more Inter est to the country than letters of ac ceptance or campaign speeches by na tional party candidates, or the results of state primaries. They tell a story of revival In which all people are.con cerned and In which all must profit. It may be said truthfully that what was lost In the October panic is being re gained and that the gain is being made on a better understanding and on a better footing than before. So If the country frets back to or near the figures of 1907 at their best It will get back with more certainty to stand against all possible panic. The evil is being left 'out and the good Improved upon and made secure. In short the country is apparently well entering upon a new and securer prosperity. AFTER MOLLY PITCHER NOW. The wreckers of history have now got after dear old Molly Pitcher as might have been expected after the attacks that have been made on the fame of Betsy Ross and even the ride of Paul Revere. As the reading of Revolutionary history is recalled the picture of Molly In connection with the battle of Monmouth becomes a vivid one. She carried water amid great dangers to the wearied soldiers. and, finally, when, her husband fell on the field of battle, she took the ram rod from his stiffening fingers and served the cannon with telling effect. That was the pose she is pictured in short skirted, streaming hair, a look of grim determination on her smoke begrimed face. But along comes a venerable old woman of Carlisle. Pa., who says she remembers Molly, and, strange to say. credits her as being a true personage, the only discrepancy being that her name was Molly McCauley instead ot Molly Pitcher. The aged Carlisle wo man recalls the heroine's figure, her garb, her rough quick ways and her thrilling story of the battle. Two Pennsylvania attorneys became so Im pressed with the story that they have reproduced the venerable woman's reminiscences in the form of a sworn statement. So, for the romance of hlS' tory, it is well that Molly can still re tain her place In the patriotic picture that it has been customary to paint, but, alas, she Is robbed of her grand old name. GOOD AVD BAD BACTERIA. Manifold diseases are not the only ill for which microbes are held respon alble. There is evidence enough to convict them also of the ruin of good deal of property. Spontaneous combustion in newly gathered crops- hay, hops and cotton, for Instance is now attributed to the agency of low forma of life, and to the list of ma terials in which fires having a similar origin break out additions are continu ally being' made. According to the Lon don Lancet, recent observations leave little doubt Chat In coal and lamp black a destructive degree of heat is sometimes developed through the pre ence of diminutive organisms common ly found in soil. When fuel for steamships is stored in large quantities on land spontaneous combustion can be and occasionally Is averted by depositing It In vast tanks and covering It with water. On board a vessel, of course, such a precaution is Impracticable. Tet if some cheap and easily soluble antiseptic could be found, perhaps coal could be tendered permanently immune by spraying thoroughly with the germ killer and letting it dry before being put into the bankers. The .Lancet makes no allu sion to the possibility that spontaneous combustion In smokeless powder Iswdue to something else than disintegration from age and a hot climate. Still, It could do no harm to Initiate experi ments to ascertain If bacteria play any part In the matter. Should the in quiry show that they do, treatment with germicides might yield better re sults than the Installation of refriger ating apparatus an expedient recom mended by more than one ordnance expert. However, it should not be forgotten that certain varieties of microbes do an enormous amount of good. Whether the harm that some now accomplish is more than offset by the friendly offices of others is a question not easily an swered, perhaps, but the time will un questionably come when the credit side of the account will greatly overbalance the debit side. Scarcely half a century has elapsed since the existence ot these organisms was discovered. The arts by which the hurtful ones may be an tagonized and the helpful ones utilized for man's service are yet imperfectly developed. A few generations hence they will have made such progress that the score will be greatly changed. Some persons singing is probably characterized as heavenly because it is really so unearthly. Among the earlier writers of fiction are the lads who pen their own ex cuses for being absent from school. When a girl begins to play marches on the piano as the evening advances it's a good hint to a fellow that It's time for him to go.- As soon as some people who are ever talking of taking a Kuropean trip are ready to go it will be prac tical for them to travel by balloon. The man who has no regrets for anything he has ever said belongs to that large class or people wno never say anything of the least Importance. JAYHAWKER JOTS AH the labor organizations in south east Kansas will get together and celebrate Labor day at Independence. The McPherson Republican says that the newspaper stories touching its baseball team are "drastically malicious." Chetopa is fifty years old and is still angry because the M., K. T. railroad took its shops to Parsons in stead of that place. "The man who wishes to earn un dying fame," says the Salina Sage, should Invent a pepper which will not make one sneeze." Chanute's new city directory "gives" that town 13,675 inhabitants, which is certainly very magnanimous of the directory. Inasmuch as the enumera tors found only 8,187. A minister's son in Leavenworth told a tale of dissipation and crime when arrested in Leavenworth for be ing drunk and so touched the heart of the Judge that he got off with a thirty day Jail sentence. "Why are you so particular about me not speaking to-men I meet on the train?" the Vinland Vine quotes Susie Sincaller as asking her mother. Because, replied her mother, "I first spoke to your father on the train.' A central Kansas paper remarks that the farmers living along the line of march of the soldiers from Port Leavenworth to Fort Riley are put ting padlocks on their roasting ears and hitching a bulldog to the tomato vines. Considerable "burnt looking" money is in circulation in Belleville and the "authorities," always up to what's what, deduce that it came from the Cuba bank- robbery. More likely it has been passed by one of the numer ous farmers who have money to burn, is Charlie Blakesley's thought on the subject. Says Congressman D. R. Anthony in the Leavenworth Times: "The Parsons Eclipse prints a piece of editorial mis cellany which begins, 'Congressman Scott must reason from a false hypothesis, says the Iola Register.' If Congressman Scott were ever to reason from a raise hypothesis that fact would never be prominently stated in the Iola Register; that Is, not as long as the help on that paper is looking to Mr. Scott for Its pay on Saturday night." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. When some people need a bath. they use a lot of perfume. Nearly everybody professes' to dis like an amateur show, but they all go. Before doing wrong, pad yourself for the kicking that is sure to follow. A man is always Jealous of his wife's past, but she only worries over his future. In a fight always remember that the other fellow is probably as coward ly as you are. If a man has a big stomach, he seems to delight in walking with hisn hands behind him. Do a favor for an acquaintance or a friend, and be usually appreciates it. Kin never will. So many people go around as though they had a piece of iimburger cheese under their noses. If a woman can't remember what her husband said when he proposed. it is a sign she proposed. When you see a woman with her hair done up in very small braids, it is a sign she Is very cross. Investigation will reveal that every ornery man either plays a guitar, or played it when he was younger. The last thing to wear out about the human body is the member that does the most mischief, the tongue. Don't take a cigar from a grocer: A grocer thinks a cigar that costs thirty cents a thousand is good enough. It has always been the custom to speak of boys as "growing like weeds." and to compare a girl's face to a flower. People can spend mors money on a musical education, and have less to show for it afterward than anything else on earth. When a little boy and a little girl go to a party, you can bet that when they come back the little girl will tell something the little boy did wrong. Women who have babies don't look so pretty when they are young those who nave none, but they are better looking when they become old. JOURNAL ENTRIES KANSAS COMMENT FINANCIAL" REASSURANCES. The news of the return of business to normal conditions is not entirely good news, unless it be accompanied by the assurances that the causes which made the disturbance of a few months ago have been removed. There is sufficient unanimity hvthe reports of the restoration of "good times" to give, the statement general acceptance, now;, but it is clear that the restoration may have Its perils, as well as its satisfaction. Unless speculation is curbed, unless extravagances are lessened, unless the great trade and financial centers treasure up the lesson so painfully impressed by the few months of wreck and adversity, the recovery from the "panlq" will be only a tem porary recovery- and the relapse will be worse than the origial attack It is an easy matter to forget the wholesome Instruction of hard times. Health rules made under the stress of sickness are thrown aside at the first return of vigor. The individual has a part to play in conserving the general prosperity, by keeping his ex penditures within his means, but the evil to be watched is the gambling fever which infests the market cen ters and which the first return of "ready money", prompts industrial corporations and repositories of funds to plunge into speculation which can have but one ending. We are fortunate as a country in having good times again.- But no times are really good, unless accepted with the saving gift of good sense. Ottawa Herald. THE WAT TO GET EVEN. To the Wichita Eagle's suggestion that "The way to get even with the meat trust is to quit eating meat," the Arkansas City X-Rays replies as fol lows: "The way to get even with the food trust is to quit eating food; with the clothing trust to quit wearing clothes; with the insurance trust, to quit in suring; with the leather trust, to quit wearing shoes; with the implement trust, to quit using machines; with the book trust, to close the public schools; with the paper trust to close all the printing offices. That's one way; but the best and only sensible way to get rid of the trusts is to elect a Demo cratic president and a Democratic congress." QUEER COURT ETHICS. A queer ruling was made recently by Judge Cochran in the Wilmington, Del., municipal court. He directed that witnesses should not rfer to negroes as "Mr," "Mrs." or "Miss." In order to enforce this decision he fined Chris topher Brooks, a negro, 15 and costs for contempt of court because he for got himself after being warned and called Sarah Archer, a negro woman, "Mrs. Archer." Brooks was charged with breach of the peace, "Mrs. Arch er" being the prosecuting witness. The violator of the court's queer ethics also was placed under, peace bond of $50. Concordia Blade. WOMEN WITH TWO SOULS. At last science has thrown a great light upon that deepest of mysteries the way of a woman. After solving most of the other riddles o( life the crowning victory, of" psychothera peutics is the discovery that women have two,. Bonis, perhaps more. We have the word of President O. Stanley Hall, of Clark university, that there isn't a bit of doubt about It, and it is upon the hypothesis that he accounts for the "fickleness" of women and "her erratic methods of Jumping at conclusions and her Intuition." Wisely President Hall observes: "Woman Is much more susceptible than man. There is good reason for this. We know that she has two or more souls. She may love and hate at tne same time and the same person. She may say and think that she is sick or well when the reverse is really true. It simply means that one soul is in the ascendancy. These two souls may be absolute strangers to each other, but they certainly exist. We have proved It beyond the shadow of a doubt." Only little less interesting than the fact itself would be an explanation of the method by which President Hall found it out. That a woman's psychi cal equipment is an opalescent gem of ever-cnanging and glorious radiation all men are aware. Until now, how ever, no one has been able to account for those mysterious and sudden flashes of alternate laughter and tears, love and hatred, melancholy and ela tion which characterize her demeanor. We now realize that these manifesta tions of opposite emotions are the re' suit of a conflict of souls. When the feminine mind is normal the souls are nicely balanced, but once the equili brium is disturbed a veritable battle of passions ensues as the souls sway and struggle for mastery. Fortunate the man who enlists the sympathies of one of his loved one's souls, but twice or more fortunate is he if he win her whole assortment. Kansas City Jour nal AMERICAN QUEENS. If the American woman occupies a position where, as IT by right, she ac cepts the homage of her subjects the entire male population it is a post tlon that she has won "by right, and which, evidently, she intends to strengthen rather than to weaken. Tear by year she is forging to the front, and is becoming more of a fac tor, not alone in the social, but in the industrial and commercial life of the country. For It Is not mere sentiment that gives the American woman a place in the forefront of American Droeress. As wage-earners and pro vlders they have won a place that forces their masculine competitors to regard them with respect and admira tion, and which makes it clear that no mere kingdom of domesticity will sat isfy their desire to rule. The census bureau reports on the various avocations of life, and it finds that there are S03 of these, and in all of them, except nine, women fill places worthily. There seems to be no bound to the measure of their activities; they nractlce medicine: they plan the con struction of buildings; they are admit ted to the bar and practice law: in the realms of chemistry they have made discoveries denied to man; in the arts and sciences thev hold honorable rec ords and the end, is not yet So far has the tendency of Independence gone today in the United States that there are In round figures 8,000.000 women that earn their own living. One-half of the single women of this country are self-supporting. It is one of the signs of the times, this com petition of women In the field with men, and it cannobe regarded as a bad sien. There is mighty little senti ment in the emDlovment of women; if they get Jobs that have been held by men.

The cities along the Atlantic coast are engaged in a strenuous rivalry in developing the idea of nlaverounda for children and recreation centers for the pleasure and Instruction of the masses of the people. The public school chil dren are being enrolled in athletic leagues and the general nuhlir- a mn. tributing generously toward the euuip- ment or scnooi playgrounds and public parks, with gymnasium apparatus and paraphernalia for games and outdoor sports of all kinds. Chicago has taken the lead among western cities in pushing the play grounds propaganda; in fact, it is aouotiui it any eastern city equals Chi cago in this respect. Sherman Park playground is considered a model, the nignest and latest development in the world of the public recreation place for the people. It combines the scenic beauty of a miniature park with fieids large and small for gymnastic and ath letic purposes. It also contains a series of buildings of solid construction and classically chaste design. Within these buildings are public assembly halls, small club rooms, gymnasiums, shower baths, resi aurant, reading rooms, and everything that the minds of the builders could devise for physical, mental, and social culture. Sociologists' have pronounced bherman park and its playground sys tem to be "well nigh perfection, almost utcpian. Tnis little earthly paradise was for merly as bleak and unattractive a spot as any that could be found in the iron bound tenement districts of a large city. It has. been converted into an ideal re sort for tired, careworn people at a cost of $160,000. The big ball field in the fall a football gridiron is flooded in winter and in a single night in convert ed Into a skating pond. There are sep arate playnelds, besides, for senior and Junior boys, and another for women and children. There is an immense swimming pool in the open air; around it is a border of white sand. Before a bather enters this pool he passes under a shower bath. Near by is another large pool for women and children, in short. Sherman park is thoroughly equipped for the pleasure and uplift of the peo ple in winter as well as in summer. Kansas city Journal.

QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. All things come to those who wait on themselves. The harder a person Is to please the less people will try. Appreciate the good things of life, but don't be -one of them. Isn't it queer how long some peo ple can talk about nothing? A man must have a certain amount of pull to take time by the forelock. Birth Is sometimes an accident from Which it takes a lifetime to recover. The people who want to get some thing for nothing can always accept advice. The only way some people can be happy is to get more than their money's worth. The clinging nature Is sometimes Illustrated by the way a man hangs onto his money. if Art holds the mirror up to na ture, nature must frequently be ashamed-of herself.

She noted the new suit of gray clothes, tha. light blue, satin necktie and his large brown hands. Her glance wandered to the youth at her side with his air of easy assurance, and down at his slim white hands playing with the postals. She twisted Wenzell's little turquoise ring from the third finger of her left hand and transferred it to ths other hand. Then she flew over to tha piano and rattled the keys noisily.

'A cat is one kind of bird fancier. Big men with the toothache always look foolish. There Is nothing better or scarcer than satisfactory neighbors. The pocket money of most women comes out of some man's pocket. Open the door to a little sin and a big one will force Its way In. The average woman hasn't time to listen to half ths things she says. Some men start out to practice what they preach, but they soon get out of practice. Life wouldn't be worth the living if it was a continuous succession of pud ding and Ice cream. It's easier for the average woman to drive a man to drink than It is for her to keep him from It. If all men could make money as easily as they can He, almshouses would soon belong to the has-been class. If our neighbors would only praise our virtues ones In a while we might bs willing to overlook their faults. It's a pity a man can't hear his widow telling her second husband what a noble, kind and generous soul he was. Instead of saying she wouldn't mar ry the best man on earth, the spinster should stick to the truth and say she couldn't. A man gets awfully lonesome In ths city when his wife Is spending a few weeks in the country so he writes and tells her. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. When a girl wants you to squeeze her hand It's a sign shs will make mors fuss about it than It shs didn't care. There's always a lot mors enjoy ment in smoking when your wife wor ries for fear you will spill the ashes on the floor. To maintain her social position a woman needs to have things in her wardrobe whether she can wear them or not. Every woman would like her son to go into the ministry except that she Is afraid It would stand In ths way of his being president. Something a woman can never learn is that when a man who works hard all year gets a little holiday he'd rather spend It enjoying himself than visiting her relatives or have them visit him.

TO SPRIXKLE THE STREETS. Arkansas City Will Make a Test With Crude Oil. Arkansas City. Kan., Aug. 7. There Is much talk in this city over the scheme of sprinkling the streets with crude oil. Mayor Brown faIs plan and Is doing considerable talk Lpon the subject. Crude oil can be purchased for less than a dollar per barrel and It has been decided to buy sufficient oil to sprinkle the street for a, block. There has been much talk about sprinkling streets and highways In various parts of the county and those who have made a trial pronounce the plan a success.

Officials of the Northwestern raHrnaA firmly believe that inside of six weeks every bit of equipment and power that company possesses will be needed in transporting to market the abundant crops or the west and northwest. This statement was made yesterday and was coupled with another to the f. ithat tno ralIroad ia backing up ""n vi a speedy return of am pie tonnage Dy an order for 1,000 ireigni cars.

If, therefore, the interstate commerce commission is right in Issuing its warning to the effect that there will be a car shortage ere long, the North western win be in a better position than most roads to take the full meas ure of profit from returning prosper- The new order for freight cars ia not a large one, but Is especially sig nificant at this time. The order was distributed between the Pullman com pany, the Haskell Barker Car com pany and the American Car and Foun dry company. Three companies were selected so that an early delivery could be assured. It Is understood that the company secured the lowest price on its order that has been obtained in several years. In this way It expects to save a considerable amount on the order. Once before and during the last period of depressed equipment prices, the Northwestern took a similar advantage of the market. At that time an order for 5.000 freight cars was placed, and by the time tonnage picked up and other railroads were ordering cars, the Northwestern's order represented $1, 000.000 saved to the company. During the entire period of business depression the Northwestern has main tained its current repairs Both on equipment and on power. The rail roads of the country, taken as a whole however, have more than 6 per cent of equipment which is not in a condition to use. This means that fully 120,000 freight cars are In the shops, where they have been for some time, owing to the fact that the shops have been closed peri odically, or running under short hours in the interest of the rigid economy which was put into effect when ton nage began to fall off.

Sheriff John Wilkerson went to Kan sas City today to arrest I. L.. Dayhoff. former state superintendent of instruc tion of Kansas, on a charge of criminal libel. This Is the criminal end of the case brought against him by Mrs. Ella Burton, a former educator, whom Dayhoff attacked in his paper. Mrs. Burton secured a judgment against Dayhoff in the civil case, wherein she asked for damages, in district court at the spring term. The decision whs appealed by Dayhoff, and the criminal libel end of the case, which arose from the same article published in the Dayhoff paper, was left for a later date. The warrant for Dayhoff has been out for some time. Mr. Dayhoff. although It is presumed that he was not hiding from the of ficers, has been leading a very quiet life since the time of the damage suit.

Water Four Feet Deep on Kansas Avenue on North Side. A small section of North Topeka was flooded again last night. Consid ering the things which have happened to North Topeka during the past five years, this sounds serious, but It is not. It is simply the result of the poor sew er facilities of three or four low spots on the North side. The flood, which was four feet deep in some places, was plain rain water, and not a breakout from either of the streams. The low nlace at Savwell street and Kansas avenue got s. large portion of the sur face water, which ran away so siowiy through the inadequate sewers, that the street car company used horses to haul ita cars for two blocks this fore noon because the motors were under water. The water was still two feet deep at this point at noon today, but is fast receding. The streets around Park and Van Buren were also under water, and the cellars, which have been cleaned at great expense since the- last flood, were again filled with surface water. In this district an ice wagon broke through -a' sewer this morning, and was unloaded before it could be extricated. Citizens living in the low places waded to their work this morning, sticking close to the sidewalks because the streets were un safe. Many people who drove out in their buggies, drove on the sidewalk on account of suspected cave-ms rn the street. Another low spot where some dam age was done, is just south of the Cen tral avenue bridge over Soldier creek. Shunganunga Is high but did not overflow the banks. GRAIN BY STATES.

DIED FROM POISON. Mrs. Bertha Wohler Kills Herself With Corrosive Sublimate. The remains of Mrs. Bertha Wohler, who committed suicide at her home at 429 Buchanan street Wednesday night by drinking a mixture of turpentine and corrosive sublimate, will be shipped to her old home at Sylvan Grovee for burial Saturday. The deceased was the wife of Reinhole Wohler and has been in ill health for a number of years. She had been twice in the Topeka state hospital for treatment and when dis charged the last time from the in stitution It was thought that she was cured. It proved otherwise, and after brooking for a time over her ill health the unfortunate lady decided Wednes day to end it all by taking a large dose of the poison kept in the house for the purposes of destroying vermin. There was no suspicion that Mrs. Wohler contemplated her rash act un til she was found at supper time that evening suffering from the effects of the poison. Two physicians were called at once but their efforts nroved unavailing, the stricken lady dying an nour altar axiUKing iae poison. Intricate lace machine which now performs work formerly done by many hands. It is very Intricate and ranks in importance of invention with the cotton gin, linotype and other mechanical devices which have re duced the cost of production. (See story which follows.) (By W. A. Graham Clark, special agent of the United States department of commerce and labor In Germany.) MAKING OF LACE. An Industry That Is IJttle Known in America. Plauen, Germany, Aug. 7. An in dustry which Is little known in America Is the manufacture of lace. Aside from the Mexican drawn work of the south very little attempt is made by Americans to produce high grade lace. On the other hand, many cities on the continent, such as Nottingham, Calais and Plauen. de pend largely upon the manufacture of lace for their employment. The city of Plauen last year produced em broidery lace to an estimated value of 70,000,000 marks (a mark equals 23.8 cents), or this only about one-fifth is retained in Germany and the rest is exported to other countries, especial ly the United States and England. The modern work may be said to date from 1857, when the first hand machine for making embroidery was introduced from 'Switzerland, but it was not until 1881, when Herr Bickel, at Plauen, originated the idea of em broidering on tulle, that the specialty was started that has since made Plauen famous. The idea of embroid ering on net was later followed by that of embroidering on a material to be chemically removed so as to leave only the embroidered lace itself. In considering, lace work in the Plauen district it may be noted that lace can be made fby threes separate methods, being known as needle, pil low and machine. Needle lace is made with the needle The Swiss operative is more skilled than the German operative, and his wages in this line are smaller. From figures obtained at both centers In re gard to this Industry it would seem that the German worker receives the same number of marks that the Swiss worker does francs a franc equals 19.3 cents.) Another important point is that the bleaching at St. Gall gives more "of a dead white bleach than does that of Plauen. The St. Gall bleach eries obtain their water from the Bod ensee (Lake of Constance), while at Plauen they depend partly on wells and part yon a small river, the Weiss Elster, which is frequently muddy. The hand machines in use at Plauen are similar to those described In my report on the Swiss industry (Swiss Embroidery and Lace Industry, mono graph, published by the bureau of manufactures, pp. 43), but are usually five yards wide instead of four and a half, as customary in Switzerland. This machine was introduced from Switzer land in 1857 and in 1863 there were 100 in operation. This number gradu ally increased until there were some 4.S00 in 1893; since then they have not been able to stand the competition of the power machines and have decreased in numbers until they are estimated now at not much over 2,500. Each machine is estimated to produced 3,000 marks worth of embroidery a year, so their total production may be roughly figured at 7,500,000 marks. The bulk of the work in this line is for home I consumption in Germany and little is exported. The Plauen laces are made on the schiffli machine, and therefore, wheth er tulle laces, guipures, imitations of real laces, etc., are all classed as em broidery laces.

Pillow lace is made by interweaving by hand the various threads around pins stuck in a pillow. Machine made lace is a quite recent development, but embraces a good many systems. Hand embroidery is still employed in upper Vogtland, and is made with either a regular sewing needle or with the tambour needle. It Is made on a cotton or linen ground. Both needle and pillow lace are occasionally to be found also, though only to a limited extent. The manufacture of hand em broidered blouses and" robes, also of the socalled "Battenberg" articles little tapes joined together by needle work still flourishes In this section. Elbenstock is the largest hand em broidery center, and has a reputation of rich designs and fancy work. To a larger extent It is noted for Its bead embroideries. Polished Bohemian beads of various colors and spangle made from a mixture of gelatine and cellulose are sewn on by hand and used to make dress trimmings, edg ings, skirts, collars, belts, etc. Bead embroideries made on black tulle and beadwork formed on metal tulle also have a good sale. 4 IM H'4"l'l lllllllllllf 7911 coffee: 20c Try a Pound 20c L Phone Your Order Morning f Chas. McClintock TEA-C0FFEE-CH1NA 815 Kansas Avenue I III'IIIMMIH machines used at Plauen has steadilv in creased in the past few years and is now estimated at 7.000. Each machine is estimated to produce at least 10,000 marks of lace a year, so that the total production in this line may be figured at fully 70,000,000 marks anifually. In making lace the salability of the finished article depends more on the artistic design than it does on the me chanical finish, and the designers of the finer class of laces are highly skilled men. The German govern ment fosters the creation of special schools located at every center that produces a specialty. In pursuance of this plan there is at Plauen a royal In dustrial school that is one of the best in Germany, and that has had a good deal to do, through the trained design ers it has turned out, with extending and perfecting Plauen's special Indus try of etched lace making. Connected with the school is a museum which has one of the finest collections In Europe of old and modem laces. Such a museum Is of great help to the student. In order to keep In touch with the in dustry there are branch museums at Eibenstock, Annaberg, Falkenstein, Auerbach, Glauchau, Meerane and Frankenberg, the exhibits of which arc exchanged with the central museum at Plauen. The result of the study of the old designs by the young men being trained for a life work as designers has shown itself not only in the imita tion of the old laces so exactly by machines as scarcely to be distinguish ed from hand work, but in the great number of new forms and combina tions that are continually being Intro duced and by means of which the Plauen manufacturers are enabled to get the best prices and keep just a step ahead of their competitors.

The neglect by the county commis sioners of the county to see that our roads are properly cared for Is shame ful. This may not be altogether the duty of the commissioners, possibly much of the fault lies with the town ship road officers, but It Is certainly the duty of the coiwiissioners to see that the township officers take care of the roads that the county builds. The macadamized road to the Country club is a disgrace to -this community. The West Sixth street road Is also shame fully neglected. For the lack of even a few hours' attention and work the wa ter for months is permitted to run down the vehicle tracks In the roadway proper, rather than In the ditches at the sides. The neglect of many of the country roads to the extent of even a few ditch furrows, which would pre vent water from running across the road Instead of in the ditches where it belongs, causes great expense in the destruction to the road and great an noyance to those who use and pay their taxes for what ought to.be good roads.

That Judge Taft was in no way responsible for the order discharging the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry and tnat In do ing so he obeyed the direct order oi the president, is the statement of Lieu tenant General Henry C.

"Any credit or blame in that matter can not be laid to. Mr. Taft. As a matter of fact. Mr. Taft was not in Washington at the time. He left Washington on October 27, 1906, for an inspection of the west ern military posts and was absent un til November 17. "Upon his return the order sus pending the battalion of the Twenty fifth infantry, was brought to his at tention. That the president might re consider the matter, Mr. Taft suspend ed the order. He cabled to the presi dent, who was then in the West Indies. and four days after Mr. Taft's return to the department he received rrom the president a cablegram directing that the order be executed. "As a loyal subordinate of the presi dent he did his duty as a subordinate, regardless of any views of his own.

Pawnbrokers and Moths. "From trie 1st of June to the begin ning of July," remarked a prominent pawnbroker, we are flooded with win ter wraps and overcoats. Yes. I sup pose you would think we ought to get them earlier In the season; but men who have good-looking overcoats will hold them as long as possible, because they are saved the expense of spring clothes. A great many people "pawn" their overcoats In order to Insure safe keeping from moths during the summer. "Never occurred to you? Probably not. Women give us a great deal of trouble with their dolmans and furs. Only yesterday a woman drove to my place on the avenue in her own car riage and tried to put up a set of sa bles on a loan of (10. I was 'wise' to her game. If she took the furs to any of the big shops, they would value the goods at $500 and charge her $20 for keeping them. Her interest on a loan of flO for four months would be about l. so she would save tig. "My father was worked' tnat way for years and never saw the trick. In this instance, I offered a loan of $150 on the sables, the interest on which would make the care and responsibility of the garments worth my while. But the woman saw the point, and said she did not need more than 10. She took her things away. "A fgew days ago another woman came to me with a handsome wrap, made of some eastern fabric and very costly. She wanted to 'hock' It for $2. I shook my head and offered her o0. but she declined. She said she was afraid when cold weather came sht might not have the money. But that was not the reason; she was trying to have Die keep the garment for her where the moths would not get at it." "Have you a cold storage room tor keeping furs?" was asked. "No, Indeed. 1 have large bags mads of pitch-soaked paper Into which I drop the garments. Then I seal up th eend. This Is necessary for undyed skins, like sables. But it Is a secret known only to the trade that moths will not eat English dyed seal gar ments. We take them, as da all deal ers or warehousemen, and make a deal of parade of mothpoofing them; but it isn't necessary. There's some thing ni the dye that renders them immune."

DEATHS ASP FUNERALS. 1 -of rxrothv Dunford, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

A remarkable story of bird intelli gence Is told by Heary Babb. of Bow dolnham, whose mail Box is on the R. F. D. route. One sld of this box is broken, and some time ago Mr. Babb found a bird had built her nest in the box., going in through the hole made by the broken place. The bird set up housekeeping in this novel home, and now there are five young birda and the mother. Several times the mail carriers have tried to drive the bird away, and at first they took out the nest and threw It away, but every time the bird re turned, and after the young ones came they gave up trying to dislodge them. Last week Mr. Babb found the signal set on the box and looked for mail, but found none in the box. This' happened a number of times, so often that he decided that some one had tampered with the box. So he asked the neighbors to watch out. One- day when a neighbor, George Hackett, drove by he saw a bird flying from the box with something in Its mouth. He followed the bird to a tree some distance away, and there the bird stopped, and after dropping the article she carried flew away. Mr. Hackett went under the tree and found four letters addressed to Mr. Babb. Each one baa been brought apparently by this unusual messenger. Just wny me same tree was selected every time seems strange. One theory advanced to account lor the removal of the letters is that their presence in the box Interfered with the domestic arrangements of the feath ered lodger, who took this way to get rid of them.

Aug. 7. W. J. Bryan has is sued a statement replying to a circular Issued some weeks ago by the national association of manufacturers and signed by J. W. Vancleave. Mr. Bryan declares that the pamphlet of Mr. Van. clears raises two questions, first. I there anything; in the labor plank of the Democratic platform to which business men can Justly take excep tions, and second Is the labor question so important to business men as to justify them In ignoring all other is sues. Mr. Bryan declares that the provision in the Democrat platform for the crea tion of a labor department with a cabinet officer at Its head cannot of fend business men. He says: "The platform draws a distinction between associations of wage earners organised for the purposes of wages and the Improvement of labor condi tions and Industrial corporations which act in restraint of trade. The differ ence between a labor organisation and a trust Is so apparent that no disin terested person will deny that they should be treated separately. To class the two kinds of organisations togeth er and deal with them under one law Is bound to do Injustice to one or the other. Surely the business men can have no vital concern in Including the laboring organization In the antitrust laws." Mr. Bryan then takes up the plank providing for trial by Jury in cases of direct contempt. He insists that this cannot raise a question of vital con cern to business men because every man has a right to a Jury trial. He then says: "An attempt will be made to raise a false Issue in regard to the courts and to make it appear that the demand for trial by Jury Is an assault upon the integrity of the courts. Those who make this argument might as well in sist on the abolition of the Jury in all canes, for the" Jury system Itself is Just as much a reflection upon the bench as Is this demand for trial by Jury in these particular cases. As to the Injunction. "But there is another labor' plank that Mr. Vancleave probably has in mind. This is the plank that declares that parties to all judicial proceedings should be treated with rigid Impar tiality and that an Injunction should not issue in sny case in which an in junction would not He if no industrial dispute were Involved. Do the busi ness me insist upon partiality in judicial proceedings? Do they Insist that the mere fact that there is an in dustrial dispute should Justify an in junction. That plank does not attempt to Interfere with the issue of an in junction where other conditions Justi fy It, but it does oppose the Issue of an injunction merely for the purpose of SATURDAY Any $3.00 to $5.00 Tan i: $1.66 NOTHING RESERVED Tie Store Opens at Eignt The v-i ros by X5 ros.

"Mr. Vancleave asserts that this plank rouses 'a class spirit' and con stitutes a demand for 'class favors.' "But this is not true. It is a declar ation that the writ of injunction should not be used for the purpose of creating a class or favoring a 'class. The labor ing men resent an attempt to discrimi nate against them in favor of any other class." Mr. Bryan In conclusion declares that Mr. Vancleave does the business men an injustice in assuming that their waking hours are filled with fears of the wage earners and that his night's rest is broken by imaginary disputes with those who toll.' As the result of a visit to W. J. Bryan of Senator "Bob" Taylor of Tennessee. who Is here to deliver e Chautauqua address, the national com mittee of the Democrat party with the concurrence of Mr. Bryan will soon en ter upon a most elaborate plan for ascertaining the sentiment of the country toward their standard bear ers. This plan contemplates the for mation of a national Democratic club, with state and county clubs as sub sidiaries, whose duties it will be to re port to the central organization data favorable or unfavorable to the na tional ticket.' It is proposed also that these clubs shall poll the voters of the United States and every section where the feeling is adverse to the Demo cratic candidates to send literature and speakers. The proposition regarding the na tional club promptly appeals to Mr. Bryan who said that he would not wait for his visit to Chicago In a couple of weeks where he is to confer with prominent men of the party but would at once take steps to get the national club under way. "I have been in Kansas, Missouri and Indiana," said Senator Taylor. "To my mind Bryan has a better chance for election than Cleveland did In 1892. 1 found many Republicans in Kansas who told me that they would vote for Bryan, and as for Indiana the pros pects for Democrat success are good." CONGRESS TOO SLOW. Taft Says That Is Why the Executive Power Has Expanded. Hot Springs. Aug. 7. At' the bar as sociation banquet in responding to the toast. "The President of the United States," Mr. Taft said that It mla-ht be appropriate for him to respond to that toast. "Not because of any relation I bear to that office, but because I was sum moned to the White House when the Invitation was extended and directed (laughter) to come here and do what I could, if need be use the big stick, to upnoia me administration. (Laughter), Has the executive expanded? tiausnterjunaouDtedy the executlvhas expanded, but we are a very much big ger country." Mr. Taft explained the necessity for an increase or power in the .Philippines, Porto Rico and the canal zone, as well as in other respect. ah tnese things, he said, were under tne control or congress, but congress had not acted as promptly as it might. "The danger of the usurpation of power Dy me executive is less than the danger of the usurpation of power by the legislature. Congress can bring the executive up standing but there Is no such check on the legislature. Mr. Taft said to depart from the of fice and come to the person of the president he counted It his greatest good fortune te be In his council. Mr. Taft won the heartiest applause by the statement that the fact that "I am a candidate for the presidency has not the slightest effect on the real pleas ure I have experienced in meeting the members of my profession. To meet with the members of the Virginia bar and experience the renewal of the old sensation of such intercourse mingled with the hospltaUty of Old Virginia makes my cup run over.

Indications are that the next house of representatives will be controlled by the "progressive" or square deal crowd, and that the senate will be about equally divided. "The "senate lodge" however, will not control the senate as absolutely as It has done the past two sessions. There are 20 of the Republican nomi nees for the state senate who are practically certain to oppose the "lodge," and at best count there can be found only about 17 senators who will line up for the railroad crowd on all occasions. This gives to the "lodge" the benefit of the doubt on several new ly nominated candidates. It Includes In he lodge list Senator Chapman of the Barton-Stafford district, who broke away from the lodge on several occa sions at the last session. Three of the men who have been nominated on the Republican ticket are counted as neu trals, or "doubtfuls." They may not make any positive alignments. The scattering returns make It Im possible to give a complete list of the men nominated by the Republicans for members of the legislature. Here Is a partial list, however, of the nominees for the house and senate: House. Allen county. W. T. Watson: Atchi son. K. H. Johnson and A. E. May hew; Barber.

The following is Mr. Brlstow's "card of thanks," which he printed In his paper, the Sallna Journal: "Mr. Bristow feels deeply grateful to the Republicans of Kansas for the nomination they have given him for the office of United States senator. He has made the campaign in behalf of measures he believes are right, and it is highly gratifying to realize that the majority of the Republicans of Kansas are in favor of the views he has advo cated. "While the contest has been ani mated and vigorous, It is hoped that no personal ill will has been engender ed. Certainly Mr. Bristow has no feelings of resentment toward anyone. He is thoroughly devoted to the poli cies commonly designated the Roose velt policies, and believes that it is the highest importance of the people of this country that those policies shall be enacted into law. He stands in the most confidential relations to Secretary Taft, and thoroughly be lieves In the secretary's devotions to the high ideals of progressive Repub licanism. "While these policies are designated as the "Roosevelt policies' because of vigorous and aggressive ad vocacy of the by the presi dent, yet the president and all public men who are today standing for these Ideas are simply responding to the demands of a well defined pub lic sentiment throughout the country, in this nation of ours public opinion is the sovereign, and the public officer or representative is, as it were, the am bassador of the people to carry out the will and wish of that sovereign. "Grant said that 'all of the people know more than any one man. and Lincoln has been styled the greatest statesman of his time because he could more clearly read the- purposes and desires of the American people than any other man of his day. These men recognized, the sovereign of the peo ple's will. "The only purpose that Mr. Bristow will have in his service in the senate will be to render the greatest service possible to the people of Kansas. He believes In the neople and has great confidence in their sense of Justice and In their desire to decide all questions In harmony with the principles of right." Fred Washbon, at Anthony, Har per county.- announced to the State Journal this morning over the long distance telephone that Harper coun ty went for Bristow for United States senator by about 25 majority. This was one of the districts which has been In doubt, and it Increases Mr. Brlstow's total sure vote in the legislature to 89. Complete unofficial returns have been received from all the precincts In Kiowa county. The vote was very light. The Republicans probably cast about 30 per cent of their party vote and the Democrats not so many. As nearly as can be estimated the vote is: Stubbs, 208; Leland, 65; (hi Ci s s Bristow, 175; Long. 85. Botkin is in the lead but no figures are to be had. Austin leads in Greensburg for the state printer. West fell behind prob ably because his name was the last on the list. There was no contest over county offices except for sheriff and commissioner on the Republican ticket. The successful contestants for these offices are J. P. Fellers and B. E. Newlin. NEGROES ROB GREEKS. Coupling Pins and Revolvers Used Freely in a Harlem Riot. Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 7. In a skirmish between Greeks and negroes in the Murray yards north or Harlem about 5:30 o'clock yesterday after noon, three of the Greeks were badly injured, and two of them robbed of 8217. Both negroes and Greeks were laborers in the employ of the Burling ton railroad and lived in bunk cars in the yards. When they quit work at 5 o'clock, about half a dozen of the Greeks were walking past the negro bunk cars on the way to their own, when three negroes Jumped out of the car and attacked them with pickhandles, coupling pins and revolvers. Seven or eight shots were fired, as the fight proceeded, other negroes Joined the original three. Thera Kalos received a broken arm. A blow on the head made him unconscious and $200 was taken from a belt about his waist. Gust Aggelo was robbed or 117. Three of his ribs were broken and his face beaten.

THE BIG SHOE STORE Aqcie TY There Is as much Interest In Topeka In the personality of Mrs. Walter Roscoe Stubbs, of Lawrence, who will proba bly be the next mistress of the Gov ernor's House as In the policies of her husband, the next governor. The lat ter, however, are pretty well known, the former not so familiar to the pub lic. Although Mrs. Stubbs has been in Topeka a great deal since her hus bancUflrst began taking an interest In politics and many Topeka people have met her, she is not the sort of woman who dominates Copeland county, so cially, during the legislative Sessions, nor whose clothes and maimers and fads attract attention and comment. Mrs. Stubbs is the kind of woman seen oftener with her children than with her dogs (although the Stubbs family have a fine thoroughbred English bull dog to which they are all devoted) and oftenest not seen at all, for she is the quiet, retiring domestic type of wom anly woman who finds her chief Inter ests and her greatest happiness in her home. This sounds like the usual "nice" stuff written about women whose hus bands have attained prominence, but what is one to say? Mrs. Stubbs is undeniably that kind of a woman the kind everybody admires, gentle and amiable and thoroughly likable, a devo ted wife and mother. When her hus band was a poor man she shared his Burdens; since he became independent ly rich and achieved success in politics, she has rejoiced In his triumphs and enjoyed his prosperity. But it will not be claimed that she "made her hus band." There Is a sneaking suspicion In the unprejudiced mind that Walter Roscoe Stubbs Is the sort of man who would have made himself under any sort of circumstances and even If his choice of a wife had not been a wise one and Ms domestic life happy. Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs have four chil dren, two girls and two boys. The old est is Miss Leonora Stubbs, a young girl still In school. The next is Walter Roscoe, Junior, known as Roscoe, who is about 12 years old. Then comes the second son, Paul, and then the younger daughter, Margaret. Miss Leonora Stubbs has been attending high school In Lawrence. She has not yet gradua ted and she may enter high school here, or go to Washburn or the College of the Sisters of Bethany. The other children will probably go to the public schools, as they do in Lawrence. The Stubbs family attend the Quaker church In Lawrence. There is no Quaker society in Topeka but the presence of a Quaker family in the Governor's House may awaken local interest in that denomination which formerly held regular services In To peka. Everybody is asking whether the Governor's House will be gayer during the next administration than it Don't Overlook This!

A pretty feature of the Campbell Davis wedding Thursday was the cut ting of the wedding cake at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Campbell. 114 Clay street, after the ceremony at Grace cathedral. An old Scotch custom which provides that the bride put the "dirk" in the cake and the maid of honor cut It, was fol lowed. Miss Campbell had no attend ants but she chose Miss Reita Upde graff to act as maid of honor for this ceremony. The dirk used was an old heirloom, dating back to the year 1600 and which has been in the pos session of Mr. Campbell's family ever since that time. It is a beautiful knife with a handle of curiously wrought silver in an emblematic de sign, richly set with the favorite Scotch stone. the cairngorm. Mr. Campbell is a member of a famous old Scotch family, the Campbells of In vernelll and Ross, distinguished both in peace and war. His nephew, Mr. Duncan Campbell, the young laird of Inverneill and Ross, and Mrs. Camp bell were here from Scotland last spring on a visit, and Miss Jessie Campbell, who Thursday became Mrs. Edwin W. Davis of Leavenworth, spent a year with her Scotch and English relatives shortly after she finished school.

The shaded He ctions show a portion of the "dry" territory in the United States. And the black sections show where the saloon Is licensed. How much of a figure will prohibl-j Unn cut In national politics this year? The most sanguine of the Prohibition' leaders do not hope for victory at the. election although they are Just as earnestly and vigorously fighting for' their cause as though they expected to win. There has been a tremendous wave of temperance over the entire United States during the past four years and It is an open question as to how many votes have been gained for the na tional Prohibition party. Four years ago Samuel Swallow received a popu lar vote of 258. 206. Of these the prin cipal states contributing to the votes were Illinois, 34,770; Pennsylvania, 33.717; Indiana, 23.496; Michigan, 13.308; New Jersey, 20,776; Ohio, 19, 339. This means sixty per cent of the to tal Prohibition vote cast four years ago was drawn from these six north ern states. Since that time, however, practically all the southern states have voted for local prohibition, as indicated on the map, and the trend of popular opinion is strongly toward prohibition In the north. The far west may also be depended upon for a considerable increase in favor of prohibition. Just how many voters will drop old line politics in favor of the national Prohibition ticket no one can predict. It is certain that many who favor prohibition in local pontics would not be in favor of a national political party which based its entire party for election on practically but two planks total prohibition and wo men's suffrage. The convention at Columbus was a success in. every way from a Prohibition standpoint and ex hibited that rare combination of self denial and principle which has not been manifest in any manner as keenly in the other big political par ties. The demonstrations were not the boisterous howling of the Repub- 4 lewd or IJoraocratiOKaonventioae- biM they could-not help wit impress them selves upon a nation as of the utmost sincerity and determination. The men nominated enter the field in this political fight at a personal sacrifice and without hops of election this year, but nevertheless they entered it with the steadfast determination to fight for what they believe Is right, win or lose, feeling confident that sooner or later prohibition will predominate. The Prohibitionists are making a strong fight this year in the middle west and Nominee Chapln feels sure that they will make big inroads on the political parties in Ohio and Indiana especially. To date the Prohibitionists have never secured an electoral vote In the electoral college, and they are looking to Indiana to furnish this first electoral vote. Governor J. Frank Hanley of Indiana is a big political factor and his friendliness to prohibi tion has done much to strengthen the party in Indiana. Governor Hanley 7 MfSs HOME OF JOHN anKh.rr?Tclylr pn?ldTent1?1 was prominently mentioned as presi dential nominee, and had his name been placed at the head of the Prohi bition party many Prohibitionists felt confident of securing Indiana, but as the old line parties are strongly im bedded there would have been litle hope even with Governor Hanley at the head. The governor, however, re fused to be considered and the conven tion turned to Illinois for Its nomine. Last year the Prohibition party came closest to carrying Indiana of any state in the union, although It was a long ways from the goal. Samuel Swallow received from Indiana 28, 496 out of a total vote cast of 608,185. Illinois last year gave Swallow 34,770 votes out of a total of 1,076,499 votes cast. There were three states which last year did not contribute materially to the Prohibition vote which have since become partially Prohibition In sentiment. Florida gave Nominee Swallow only five votes ot of the en tire state, Louisiana and Mississippi did not contribute any votes whatever to the Prohibition party. During the last four years, however, Louisiana has become practically a dry territory; Mississippi is also dry and Florida about one-half dry, so that the "senti ment has turned materially in these states. This year marks the one hun dredth anniversary pf the foundation of the Prohibition party, although Prohibition sentiments date back many centuries, even to the time of King Solomon. No great exposition marked the anniversary of this party on April 30; 1908, but their work of this year is sufficient -memorial to Dr. Billy James. Clark, who founded the first temperance society In America. Dr. -Clark was a physician practicing In Moreau, Saratoga county, N. Y. He was a man of considerable prominence" In his community, having served in the legislature of. the state and as a presidential elector. After reading &r Benjamin Rush's treaties on .rTbe Ef fects of Ardent Spirits Upon-the Hu man Mind and Body," one evening burst In upon his friend, Rev. Libbeus Armstrong, and startled him with the declaration, "We shall all become a community of drunkards unless some thing is done to check the progress of Intemperance." He proposed the Immediate forma tion of a temperance society, and with the help of Dr. Armstrong, drafted a constitution and by-laws for the "Union Temperance society of Moreau and Northumberland." The society was organized with forty-three male members and held regular meetings for fourteen years. The temperance movement has been before, the world since that time In varying degrees of prominence, but never in the world' history was such a wave of prohibi tion under way as at the present time. It is conceded by the organized Prohi bitionists that this Is not altogether W. KERN, MRS. KEEN AND MISS JUUA KERN. candidate Is happily married, and thrachildren brighten 1683 North Pennsyl- due to their efforts, but rather to the awaking of citizens to the depraved conditions of the liquor traffic In many localities. Drinking today Is as un popular among the better classes of society as It was popular a generation or two ago, and this is not because the Kentucky colonels feel mat they were themselves being so much Injured, but because of the degradation caused by the misuse of liquor among the ne groes and so-called "white trash." As soon as it became popular with this element it naturally became unpopu lar with the better class of society. The liquor dealers themselves are awake to the fact that they are in the midst of a crisis in their business and are taking .steps to eradicate the mis use of liquor. Whether the pendulum is swinging now to the other extreme which will defeat Its own cause event ually is not known. The Prohibition Ists are positive in their assertion that prohibition Is here to stay. Aeronaut Saves Life b ITsinsr Teeth On Iv th strmr nvwl ..-..11 .1. r O.UU. u v wcui v i u. O.

Chairman Frank H. Hitchock, of the Republican nation al committee, left today for Oyster Bay to be a truest of President Roosevelt at luncheon. While he admitted that he expected to talk with the president concerning1 the New York governorship nomination. Hitchcock discouraged the suggestion that as a result of the confer ence there may. be an official expres sion of preference by the national Re publican leaders regarding the matter of renominating tiovernor Hughes, or naming some other man to succeed him. Mr. Hitchcock reiterated today that he had not deviated from his policy of listening to recommendations by the friends and the opponents of Governor Hughea and refraining from taking sides. HEIiPLESS OJT FACE OF CLIFF. Old Story of Virginia Natural Bridge Is Enacted. Chicago, Aug. 7. A dispatch to the Tribune from Ijos Angeles. CaL. says: A wireless message from Avalon Catalina Island, reports the rescue of Irving Spalding, aged 15, son of A. F. Spalding of Springfield, 111., from a preclplo 00 feet above the sea, where ne naa spent tne aay in peril of his life. The youth disappeared from the ho tel early in the morning. He went to explore the island and climbed the sheer face of the cliff 750 feet high, as far as he could go, and got within a hundred feet of the top. Spalding found it impossible to- get down and shouted for help, but failed to make any one hear him. He could not sit down and the slightest misstep would have sent him to Instant death I SEVERE CASE OF PSORIASIS CURED The Terrible Disease Spread Over Body and Limbs One of Worst Cases Doctor Ever Saw Itched Constantly Defied Treatment.' USE OF CUTICURA MET WITH PERFECT SUCCESS "I was eured of psoriasis through the use of the Cuticura Remedies. The terrible disease appeared on my arms and legs in small red spots under the skin, like blood blisters, the size of a pin-head; and It was constantly throwing off white scales, with a ter rible itching. It spread until I was covered with it except mv face and bands. I doctored with two of the best physicians I could find but they could not help me. One of them pronounced it one of the worst cases be ever saw. My mother gave me a bottle of Outioura Resolvent. I did not get much relief from the first bottle but she urged me to keep on taking it, also using CuUoura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. After a few weeks I saw some Improvement, so I kept on using all three of the Cuti cura Remedies until, about a year ago, I was entirely over it and have never bad any more of the trouble. I am sure that the Cuticura. Remedies cured me for I stopped other medicines after I began with Cuticura. We always keep Cuticura Soap and Oint ment in the house. James L.

It began with an itching and kept me awake at night. I tried everything that was recommended but without results until I was advised, to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The first week I began to feel better; in two months the itching had stopped and before I had used half the Cuticura Remedies I was completely cured. I would not be without Cuticura if it cost five dollars. James A. Arrow. Brookland, D. C, Oct. and 21, 1907.'' OmaplM Externa! an4 Internal Treawuwil for Kvrr Humor of Infante.

It is be ginning to be realized that the Cana dian Pacific railway- is prepared for a siriKe struggle with the mechanics, which will last some time. The com pany's locomotives and rolling stock are at present in excellent condition, the dry summer having caused little wear. Besides 300 Japanese mechan ics trained In the railway shops of the Pacific coast states and in technical schools are arriving and are being dis tributed where necessary. Sleeping and dining cars have been drawn up close to the shops to provide accom modations for the nonunion workmen, guarded by special constables. Fifteen shop firemen or gang bosses warned out tiers last tvenlng, declin ing to work with the Imported men. Only -one declined to come out. No violence or disorder has been report ed from any of the company's shops In westerln Canada. Mass meetings continue to be held by the men and the pickets are continuing to keep close watch at the shops and all incoming trains. New comers are employed in almost all departments and are divid ed into shifts which work night and day. All locomotives receive inspec tion and undergo repairs before leav ing the roundhouse and coaches are iced and taken care of by the men who are taking the places of the strik ers. A gang of laborers were put to work to fill In the open spaces beneath the fence that surrounds the yards, and In this and other ways the company is preparing to safe guard its property. Throughout last night the strikers had pickets posted at all entrances to the yards and they took, care that they could not be seen from within. It is not expected that the strike will in terfere in any way with the handling of the western crops, even though it should last until wheat moving com mences. Wheat will not begin to reach the railroad in any volume for five or six weeks. It is expected that the crop will re quire about 160,000 box cars and of these there are already 150,000 in the west with a corresponding supply of engines. The rest will be sent on as freight conditions require and will be kept in the west until tney are re quired. The Canadian Pacific tele graphers are seriously preparing for a strike within a fortnight. The ar bitration award will be forwaded to Ottawa next week and the men do not expect to be satisfied with it. At Cal gary the Canadian Pacific railway has put 21 Japanese at work in the round house, otherwise there the situation remains unchanged. The company will have several plain clothes men In that city to protect the new workmen. Two locomotives were out of use there yesterday owing to the fact that the boilermakers are not working. At Kamloops last mgnt, a conductor of a westbound freight train declined to take out a train un til he had a written order authorizing him to do so. without ofTIclal Inspec tion by car repairers. He was given the order. WASTING WATER. Chicago Is Losing 83,000,000 Gallons Annually. Chicago Aug. 7. Chicago is wasting water at the rate of more than 83,000, 000.000 gallons per year. This estimate, accompanied by a pro test Is Included in the annual report of City Engineer John Ericson, made public today. Mr. Ericson also takes up the meter question in his report, showing that consumers without meters get their water for less than one-third of what meter users have to pay. He asserts that the city is not receiving "an adequate return or reve nue from the unmetered supply." According to the report the city pumped in 1907, 165.583 million gallons of water, receiving a revenue of 4. 453,000 for It. or at the rate of 2.69 cents per 1.000 gallons. To the meter users, however, the water was sold at the rate of 7 cents per 1.000 gallons, while consumers without meters got it at the estimated rate of only 1.7 cents per 1,000 gallons. DECLARES IT OPEN. Chairman Mack Starts the Democrat Campaign at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 7. The headquarter.! of the national Democratic committee In Chicago, were formally opened to day on the arrival here from the east of Norman K. Mack, the national chairman, who announced that from now until election day the Democratic campaign will be waged actively throughout the country. On reaching the new offices "in the Auditorium annex. Chairman Mack issued a call to the heads of the various subcommit tees of the national committee to meet him here Monday, to confer on general plans of campaign which have been outlined. Chairman Macy will leave Chicago next Tuesday to attend the Bryan notification at Lincoln. During the day Mr. Mack held con ferences with Roger C. Sullivan, na tional committeeman from Illinois, and other committeemen and Democrats influential in the party councils. Mr. Mack said: "While the campaign Is young it has made a degree of progress that Is ex tremely gratifying to the Democratic management. States in all parts of the country, heretofore regarded as Re publican strongholds are now debatable ground and will be swung into the Democratic column. I found conditions in the east that presage Democratic victories. The selection of Senator Culberson, of Texas, as chairman of the advisory committee to succeed former Governor Francis of Missouri, meets with the entire approval of the former Missouri governor, who himself will do all in his power to aid in the campaign. Mr. Francis is still a member of the committee, but was un able to serve as chairman because he expected to be abroad much of the time during the campaign." LEFT FLAG FOR WOMAN. Now Lloyd Kintzer I Held as a Deserter. Lloyd M. Kintzer was arrested to day by Detectives Hutton and Hopkins at 1010 Locust street as a deserter from the Second cavalry regiment which camped at the reform school grounds Monday of this week. There s a woman in tne case. Kintzer left his regiment here Mon day and did not again report for duty. The charms of this Topeka girl were more alluring that those of the flag of his country and Kintzer passed up Mars for Venus. His story to the police was that he had left camp and could not find his way back. As an excuse this should prove satisfactory in every way to his commanding officer. The Thirteenth infantry camped here Sunday and did not lose a man, while the cavalry, the romantic branch of the service, has lost two khaki boys up to date, and there may be others. WOULDN'T RIDE BAREBACK. Chris Lee Ran Away When Required to Do So. Chris Lee. a member of the Second United States cavalry that camped here Monday on the march from Des Moines, Iowa, to Fort Riley, was ar rested by the police as a deserter. Lee is a young fellow about 21 years old and declares that he is not a deserter. but left his regiment at Wamego yes terday and came to Topeka to escape having to ride bareback on the march yesterday. He said: "My horse has a small sore on nis back and the lieutenant ordered me to place my saddle in the commissary waff on and ride bareback on the 20 mile trip from Wamego to Manhattan. I refused to do this and SKippea ouz that night and came to Topeka. "I am not a deserter, l aid not tajce off my uniform nor try to avoid detec tion, but was merely aosent one day from roll call. They will take me to Manhattan today and I will rejoin my troop. I won't ride bareoacK, tnougn, even If they put me under arrest." Lee lives in Platte county, mo., and enlisted in the army at Des Moines six months ago. O, Baantha Bigaatnxs of o Basis Us Signature of pm Kind Yon Haw Always Bougtt Bearaths Bigastax of ASTOAXA.
